I Play Games Even Without Limbs

“What the hell is this…”

“Huhu. This time, I used lag to develop a technique known as Limbs Dissection to dodge attacks.”

By intentionally focusing all sensation on my left arm, I caused traffic congestion, triggering lag that forced the Leore system to reboot my left arm, making it disappear.

When I released the sensation gathered in my left arm, the traffic congestion cleared, and my left arm grew back in an instant.

“Wow… insane…”

Pro player Kim Gi-hyung was stunned by my new technique. Of course, it wasn’t just him—everyone watching our fight was left gaping in shock.

I felt a little proud.

‘I didn’t know this would work either.’

Last time, while fighting an Assassin User, I was startled when my body reset due to lag, causing a Limbs Dissection situation. It was something I’d never experienced before.

In the virtual world, when lag or bugs occur, the system resets the avatar.

This is because the access device checks if anything has happened to the user’s body while they’re enjoying the virtual world.

But then I realized I could use this to my advantage.

In the Guild House, I focused all sensation on my left arm, causing traffic to build up, and soon my left arm disappeared with a *poof*.

By intentionally creating traffic congestion, I triggered lag, causing only my left arm to reset.

The problem was that it required significant concentration in the Guild House.

In more relaxed areas, even if I focused sensation to gather traffic, lag didn’t occur easily.

But I realized that in situations like territory wars, where there are many users and increased traffic, it’s easier to trigger lag.

I secretly honed this skill and succeeded in making body parts disappear and reappear at will during high-traffic situations like territory wars.

An average user might call this a trash skill.

“Why would you remove a perfectly good body part? Isn’t that a disadvantage?” There are many reasons, but any user who knows combat well would say otherwise.

Just now, there was no way for me to dodge Kim Gi-hyung’s attack.

A reckless charge wouldn’t have worked, and I could only defend with my arm.

But even if it’s not a weak point, if damage accumulates on the arm, it causes a stun effect.

In the past, limbs wouldn’t cause stun, but after Leore’s patch, that’s no longer possible.

So, I created this skill. Not a bug, but a skill.

By intentionally directing attacks to my limbs, I make the targeted body part disappear and reappear to dodge.

This way, I take no damage, avoid stun, and dodge attacks—known as the Limbs Dissection dodge skill.

It’s a cheat skill that lets me dodge opponent attacks, land my own, and doesn’t even require parrying.

Seeing the mental image I had in my head succeed so spectacularly in front of everyone gave me an insane dopamine rush.

‘But honestly, Leore will probably patch this soon.’

If they don’t, it wouldn’t make sense. Even I think this is a cheat skill.

Being able to delete and regrow limbs at will? It’s not very useful in PVE, but in PVP, it’s ridiculously overpowered.

“So, what do you think? Pretty broken, right?”

“No… beyond broken…”

“Huhu. Seeing how shocked you are, it must be a very successful skill.”

Kim Gi-hyung, with his sharp eyes and a well-built body that screamed pro player, looked completely drained, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, clearly impressed by my new skill.

With my fully regrown left hand, I grabbed the Tashim Sword and charged at Kim Gi-hyung.

“Eh!?”

Kim Gi-hyung, as usual, tried to block my attack by intercepting the trajectory of my sword.

But against me, who has mastered the [Lizard Tail] skill, ordinary defense won’t work.

The reason?

*Swoosh*

My left hand disappeared again, and the Tashim Sword fell due to gravity.

I caught it with my right hand and thrust it forward.

“Are you serious!?”

The thrust, which suddenly dropped from its original trajectory, bypassed Kim Gi-hyung’s guard and struck him.

I pulled the sword from Kim Gi-hyung’s abdomen and prepared to swing horizontally, but Kim Gi-hyung’s eyes caught my disappearing left hand.

Thinking I couldn’t use the same trick twice, he tried to block, but…

Sorry, what can I do?

It’s not just arms—I can make my legs disappear too.

*Swoosh*

Kim Gi-hyung’s chest disappeared from view as I shrank down, my legs gone in an instant.

This time, I reset both legs simultaneously, shrinking my height and striking Kim Gi-hyung’s now defenseless legs.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!?”

Kim Gi-hyung shouted in frustration.

‘Sorry, I know this skill is ridiculously broken!’

With two attacks, Kim Gi-hyung was stunned. I quickly released the sensation focused on my legs and left arm, reducing traffic and regrowing my limbs. Then, I plunged the Tashim Sword into Kim Gi-hyung’s heart.

Hitting the weakest point, his heart, Kim Gi-hyung’s HP dropped to 5% in an instant.

“Surrender?”

I didn’t want to kill Kim Gi-hyung. I wanted to see more of his reactions.

“…I surrender.”

With a genuinely defeated expression, Kim Gi-hyung raised both hands and shook his head. I pulled out the Tashim Sword.

“Victory~”

*Sigh*

This time, I completely defeated Kim Gi-hyung.

I raised the Tashim Sword high, savoring the victory, and expected cheers from the users watching the fight.

But.

“……”

Nothing happened.

“Huh?”

What’s going on? Why is no one reacting?

==

In Leore, no matter how much you attack or get attacked, whether by monsters or users, body parts don’t get severed.

The reason is simple: Leore is rated for ages 15 and up.

The virtual world is highly realistic, so its rating is very strict.

But.

“Wait!? What the hell was that…!?”

Ink, the commentator watching the broadcast of Kim Gi-hyung and Arang’s fight, couldn’t comprehend what he just saw.

It looked like Kim Gi-hyung had severed Arang’s arm, making it disappear.

But Ink saw it clearly.

The moment Kim Gi-hyung’s sword was about to touch Arang’s arm, it disappeared.

As Kim Gi-hyung and Arang distanced themselves, Ink saw Arang’s condition clearly.

It was gone.

Arang’s arm was gone.

-??????????

-What the heck?

-??? What the hell was that????

-Are my eyes deceiving me?

-Wait, Arang’s arm is gone?

-Is that even possible in Leore?

“It’s not impossible…”

Ink, a long-time commentator with experience in various event tournaments, had seen this phenomenon before.

There were tournaments for users with physical disabilities.

When those users entered the tournament server, they always experienced this phenomenon.

But that was on a different server. In this situation, it was clear that Arang intentionally made her arm disappear at will.

-Leore doesn’t allow dismemberment, so how did that happen…

-I knew Arang didn’t have limbs, but this is next level.

-Wait, can she do that whenever she wants?

“Wow… this is really confusing. How did she even do that? Can you really do that intentionally?”

The problem didn’t end there.

She made her arm disappear again during another attack, then made both legs disappear to land a successful hit.

In the end, only her right hand holding the sword remained, making her no different from her real self.

In that state, her limbs grew back, she struck Kim Gi-hyung, and he surrendered, ending the match.

Then, Arang raised her sword high, looking proud.

It was clear she wanted cheers, but all the users present and those watching the stream were speechless.

“Wow… what am I even supposed to say…”

(Screenshot of Arang with everything but her right hand gone)

Just how far will Arang’s antics go? ㄷㄷ

[Comments]

-First time seeing it, and my mind went blank.

-This was the same shock as seeing real-life Arang for the first time. Almost had a heart attack.

-Wait, is that even possible?

-The condition of needing no limbs is hilarious.

ㄴThinking about it, that’s true.

ㄴBut how does she even do that?

[How to Use Arang’s New Skill]

(Screenshot proving she has no right arm in real life)

I’m not as bad as the Princess, but I also don’t have a right arm in real life. In Leore, when lag happens, my arm disappears and reappears.

You all know about the time the Princess’s limbs disappeared and reappeared during an event tournament.

It’s the same thing.

But how she does it at will? No clue.

[Comments]

-Is there even a way to counter that?

ㄴGood question. Wouldn’t blocking it be dangerous?

ㄴIt’s a system the access device enforces. Is there even a way to block it?

ㄴThis is even more broken than the limb stun from before ㄷㄷ

-To block that, they’d have to mess with the access device system itself. Leore probably can’t do that, right?

ㄴThen it’ll take forever to fix this.

ㄴProbably.

ㄴㄷㄷ
