Gender Reboot
0035-2. Noona is Invincible – Part 2

[Declare war on <NoonaIsInvincible>?]

"I’ll show you the difference between a petty thief and a true ruler."

War declared.

"DIE!!"

Time to unleash the might of maxed-out Beatrice.

The one who brought the immortal meta to Legacy of Heroes! The only character who could spam full-party heals as basic attacks!

[<NoonaIsInvincible> has mobilized a strike force to resist!]

"Hoh?"

It wasn’t like he was manually controlling it. He’d set up a solid defense deck.

But…

"Not here at this hour, must be a working adult, huh?"

Kukuku. Must’ve stepped away, huh~?

Trying to beat me while playing the diligent office worker?

"You’re automatic. I’m manual!"

And then…

I’ll show you the difference between a Maxed-Out Beatrice and a namecard Beatrice.

We’re on entirely different levels when it comes to the power of money!!

[<First Territory Raid> Success!!]

[Burning down the territory, destroying facilities…]

"Ahh. Poor bastard."

Did you really think that just because we’re both Beatrice owners, our growth would be the same?

How pitiful…

‘This is why I make sure my money’s worth.’

I invested all the materials I farmed today into Beatrice’s skill upgrades.

No one stands above me, a Maxed-Out Beatrice owner.

But…

‘Only downside is that when two Beatrice owners fight, it drags on. The battles.’

A whopping 99 turns…

Since neither of us could die, the battles stretched endlessly, the only frustrating part.

"Haah."

Well, he should realize the level gap and back off now.

Having satisfied every last one of my urges, I drifted off peacefully to sleep.

Evening.

Returning from work, Noona Shin Jimin munched on a simple packed dinner while checking her territory status.

"Yujin counterattacked, huh?"

She’d expected this much. Through footage of Yujin’s Beatrice solo clears, Jimin had confirmed her little brother’s account...

And attacked knowing full well it was his territory.

Whatever he was up to, his long absence had let her suck him dry.

Four rounds of looting in total.

The territory level gap meant efficiency wasn’t great, but Jimin’s heart still pounded excitedly.

‘His precious territory. I messed it up good.’

He’ll be furious, right? Absolutely.

Might even go wild, not knowing it’s his own Noona. Jimin changed into comfy clothes, sank into the sofa, clutched her phone, and gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

And then, retaliation time.

"Ugh. My little brother’s just too strong."

The defense logs showed the opponent had barely taken a scratch.

"Same Beatrice, but your healing’s four times mine?"

So this is why everyone spends so much money on these characters.

The difference in recovery between a simple Beatrice and a fully maxed-out Beatrice was absurd.

Jimin’s defense deck got wiped, her territory forced to spill all its resources wide open for Yujin to take as he pleased.

‘Nngh…’

Of course, daily plunder limits meant he couldn’t take everything.

But if Yujin kept attacking with that sly intent, Jimin would have no choice but to beg for mercy, unless she wanted to quit the game entirely.

This kind of power disparity was why the game thrived among heavy spenders.

And why new players struggled to survive.

[YujinTheGodOfNormalization - lol]

[YujinTheGodOfNormalization - Know your place and grovel]

[YujinTheGodOfNormalization - Beg on your knees, “Please spare me~” and I’ll stop. lol]

"Tch, should I just go Limit-break too?"

She opened her inventory.

[Beatrice (duplicates) x 9]

Jimin was a free-to-play warrior with enough duplicate heroes to max-break Beatrice and then some.

There was only one reason she hadn’t raised Beatrice...

She hated that her little brother jerked off to this character.

That damn waifu my brother cums to... I wanna bury her.

But Yujin’s high-investment Beatrice’s healing made her nearly unbreakable, and it felt like Beatrice herself was taunting:

[Lost to a low-poly bitch? Pathetic. Who cares if you’re pretty? To your brother, you’re just a paycheck.]

...In short:

[Your little brother’s mine. lol]

"...I won’t let it end like this. I’ll save you from her clutches, Yujin!"

If she could just twist this open, a path to victory might appear.

Shhhlick! All of Jimin’s cards fanned out, glowing brilliantly.

Every SSR, fully maxed!

All from free story gacha pulls!

She’d been force-logged out a few times (suspected of hacking), but after proving her pure luck time and again, Jimin’s roster stood among the game’s absolute best.

Rankers trembled. How could a whale who barely even played exist?!

The sovereign, Shin Jimin, deployed her entire SSR Legacy roster, all Max, behind her.

Operation start.

Jimin focused on Eunsak, a Legacy hero capable of piercing Beatrice’s healing.

Eunsak could stack debuffs that reduced healing and shredded defense...

A theoretical counter to Beatrice, but…

Not enough.

No hero could outlast Beatrice.

As a busy office worker, Jimin hadn’t tested it herself, but other players had already reached that conclusion.

Yet, the fact that other Legacy SSRs couldn’t break Beatrice had sparked outrage...

Leading to an emergency balance patch Jimin didn’t know about.

Beatrice’s power remained untouched, but other heroes’ offensive stats got buffed...

And the biggest beneficiary was Jimin, who owned them all!!

[NoonaIsInvincible - Don’t underestimate Noona or I’ll leave you butt naked and crying?]

[YujinTheGodOfNormalization - Try it lol]

Jimin threw herself into the fight, forgetting her exhaustion.

Her male boss, a lonely, unmarried middle-aged man, had made her day hell, but the game made her forget all that.

And then…!!

[Territory of <YujinTheGodOfNormalization>, Destroyed!]

[<YujinTheGodOfNormalization> Territory Damage: 50%]

[Defense Breached!]

[Beatrice, Defeated!]

"Haha, how’s that? I may not look it, but I’ve been steadily clearing the story for full completion!"

Jimin reminisced about the grueling hours spent grinding in 30-minute bursts.

"Take that, Yujin!"

[YujinTheGodOfNormalization, Supply Depot Destroyed!]

[YujinTheGodOfNormalization, Special Forces Incapacitated!]

[<NoonaIsInvincible> Continues the Assault Unrelentingly!!]

"Keep going~!"

Meanwhile, Yujin was screaming, clutching his phone.

"NOOOOOOO!! MY FARMED MATERIALS!! STOP!! PLEASE STOP!!"

Banging his head, wailing in despair!!

Even worse than when all his favorite characters turned male,

but Jimin, blissfully unaware, just smiled happily on the sofa.

"Ahaha. Let’s quit this toxic game together, Yujin-ah♥"

Yujin had been normalized.
