Chapter 8
Title: [D-rank Porter] Survived Another Day!
(A small hand giving a thumbs-up. JPG)
Hunter Four-Cut is amazing!!!
Did the whole raid die again today?
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Why are you asking when you already know… That’s mean…
ㄴ LOL, at this point, you should just go alone.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] But it’s scary to go alone…
ㄴ The raid was probably more scared because you were there…
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] It’s okay… They didn’t know it was me…
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
ㄴ LOL LOL, yeah… If they knew, they wouldn’t have teamed up with you…
Aren’t you tired of keeping up this act?
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] It’s not an act…
ㄴ You’re persistent. Potion miser act, sigh.
ㄴ Trying so hard to get attention, LOL.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Why are you picking on me when I’m just working hard? Why are you so mean? Why are you blaming me? It’s already painful being Awakened as a D-rank. Do I have to be treated like a potion miser too? Don’t blame me. It’s really hard to make a living. Don’t blame the Admin either. I’ve gotten more job requests thanks to him. If you blame me again, I’ll end it. But before I do, I’ll ask the Admin to ban you for 10,000,000 days.
ㄴ Apologize…
ㄴ Just apologize, dude…
ㄴ Sorry… I was joking…
ㄴ It’s been a while since I saw genuine craziness, LOL.
Step by step, she walked as she posted her rant.
Gallery’s fixed nickname, D-rank Porter. Lee Hye-in is carrying loads again today.
Her dwindling job requests had increased instead. All thanks to the Admin.
With the Treasure Shop, potion prices had dropped overall, and people started stockpiling them.
Potions are a miraculous item that can heal almost any injury quickly, but they’re liquid by nature.
Plus, each bottle is over 500mL.
Hunters began carrying more of these potions as they went to close Gates, which in turn caused the demand for porters to skyrocket.
“Admin is a god!”
D-rank Porter’s financial situation improved dramatically after the Admin showed up.
“But even a god might struggle with this, right?”
However, she was once again surrounded by three corpses. She had believed this time, at least, the whole raid would survive.
In truth, there was no reason for them to die. The request was an easy one to exterminate kobolds lurking near the back mountain.
But they were wiped out. Except for Lee Hye-in.
“Can you believe this, Admin?”
Lee Hye-in pondered.
The Admin is a god. Why can’t he control all of this?
For a god, stopping people from dying should be easy. I don’t want to see people die anymore either.
Could it be he’s not yet a complete god? If so, a demigod?
Demigod sounds a bit awkward. I’ll call him like they do in the Hunter Gallery. “byeong-shin” sounds better.
“Admin is a byeong-shin!”
Lee Hye-in decided to try to impress the byeong-shin a bit more. Then maybe he’d pay more attention to her.
To do that, she had to win the Hunter Four-Cut contest!
But she wasn’t talented in photography.
So, she’d have to take pictures of some artistic models…
“Oh! I have a photo only I can take!”
She turned to look at what was left of the raid.
– 『Click!』 Three Bunny Siblings! [23]
– 『Click!』 When a Droplet Touches the Surface [18]
– 『Click!』 A Ballet-Performing Swan [67]
– 『Click!』 The Night Sky with a Meteor Shower [37]
– 『Click!』 Just My Milk Bottle [262]
– 『Click!』 Hunter Fanboy’s Body, Barely Hanging On [432]
– 『Click!』 Fleeing from an Orc on a Bicycle [210]
Contrary to my worries, the gallery was filled with enthusiastic users participating in the contest.
Of course, there were trolls too. But most people participated hoping for the prize the Admin had promised.
In the middle of this, a post with an unusual title caught my eye.
Title: [Click!] Morning Breaking, Gays Watching Adult Content, a Dog in a Threesome, and Bike Tricks
(A picture that literally matches the description. JPG)
What the heck is this?
ㄴ How did you even take this, LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
ㄴ This is chaos. Absolute chaos. Just like the state of the country.
ㄴ Sir, please don’t bring politics into this place.
ㄴ That’s not what I meant.
ㄴ Sir, is your… you know… working fine?
ㄴ It’s starting to struggle…
ㄴ (Silence)
Oh my goodness.
ㄴ What kind of girly expression is that! Change it to “Oh my gosh!” or something like that!!!
ㄴ I’m a woman though?
ㄴ Would you like to have a coffee with me?
Why does a photo like this exist?
Should I delete this… I pondered over the post for a while.
“Let’s leave it. It’s not offensive content.”
Title: 『Click!』 [D-rank Porter] Survived Another Day!
(A photo where corpses are arranged neatly in a heart shape. JPG)
It’s a photo of the wipeout while hunting kobolds. I didn’t touch them!
Admin is a byeong-shin, so this is a heart for the byeong-shin nim!
This guy LOL LOL, he’s even using corpse photos to participate in the contest LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ Making art out of corpses LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] But doesn’t it look kind of cool?
ㄴ If you were lying in the middle of that heart, it would be perfect.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] That’s a bit much, isn’t it…
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.
Change up your catchphrase, LOL.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Should I…
ㄴ Yeah, it’s getting old now.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] How about “Click success today too”? It’s my new catchphrase.
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. You only changed one thing, LOL.
ㄴ Don’t force new catchphrases, LOL.
I’m not kidding; I don’t hire porters when I go hunting anymore.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Huh? Why? (genuinely confused)
ㄴ Guess who…
ㄴ Think about it.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Our workload has increased lately, so we might not be able to take jobs anyway…
ㄴ I’d hire anyone but you.
[Admin] What does ” byeong-shin” mean?
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Demigod!!!
ㄴ [Admin] ?!!
ㄴ A highly veiled insult, LOL LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL, she might actually mean it sincerely.
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Huh? Why? (genuinely, genuinely confused)
ㄴ [Admin] Sigh…
ㄴ Should we kill or save her, LOL?
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.
… This guy is making me dizzy. Seriously, he’s a master of maintaining an act.
D-rank Porter is strange too, but… is that photo really offensive…? Hmm…
Should I ban it or not? No, too much of an iron-fisted rule will turn the users against me.
The corpses in the photo weren’t gruesomely dead, so it was hard to justify a ban.
Anyway, I couldn’t make a corpse photo a winner, so pass…
I kept searching for a winner like a dog looking for a bone.
Ugh. This one is a truly disgusting photo of a messy death. You’re banned.
A cat video? Cute, but it lacks impact.
This is just a regular landscape photo.
Chest photos? No, no, I’ve seen too many of those.
And then, a user with a true sense of photographic art appeared.
Title: 『Click!』 [Elsa] Frozen.
(A series of dazzling, shiny, impressive photos of an ice palace. JPG)
Just as it says.
Oh, it’s you again?
ㄴ [Elsa] Yes, the queen has arrived. Bow your heads. (Like ice)
ㄴ The act is strong. But where is that place? It’s autumn right now, isn’t it?
ㄴ [Elsa] It’s the palace where I reside.
ㄴ Really?
ㄴ [Elsa] Indeed.
ㄴ Really? Then make one for me too.
ㄴ [Elsa] Get lost.
ㄴ Sure, sure.
Wait, was it allowed to take photos of something created with powers?
ㄴ [Elsa] If you’re jealous, make your own and post it.
ㄴ Damn, how could I make something like that?
ㄴ [Elsa] I’ll cast a spell to help you.
ㄴ For real? I’ll send you my location.
ㄴ [Elsa] No need. Let it go. (LOL)
ㄴ ?
ㄴ Dude, nothing’s happening here.
ㄴ Kid, she told you to buzz off, LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ She said “let it go,” LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.
“Impressive. Now this is what a photo contest should be.”
[Elsa] Even her nickname is known for her dedicated act. If there’s Elsa, is there also an Anna?
Anyway, an ice palace… that’s definitely something to awe people.
It’s like a homage to Sagrada Familia, down to the detailed statues.
Elsa completed the work that Gaudí couldn’t. Plus, the photos were taken at perfect angles.
It would’ve been even better if there was an actor in the shot, but let’s overlook that.
Okay. Candidate number one for the win.
The gallery buzzed with Elsa’s appearance.
It seemed even the users sensed that she was a strong contender for the win.
Title: 『Click!』 [HunterYaKaeYo] Can this be considered a valid entry? ^^
(A photo of HunterYaKaeYo in a revealing outfit showing off her thighs and lower butt. JPG)
The wind was strong, so it was a bit tough, but is it okay?
Finally!!! The butt!!!
ㄴ HunterYaKaeYo started showing her butt!!!
ㄴ Shut up!! You should consider it a thigh pic!!
ㄴ No way!!! That’s definitely a butt shot!!
ㄴ Whatever it is, just upload another one!!
Finally, the chest faction is disappearing.
ㄴ She’s the one who revived the chest photos too.
ㄴ Brought it back with her own hands, and now she’s ending it herself, wow.
ㄴ Butt faction wins after all this waiting.
ㄴ There’s also a thigh faction.
ㄴ Minor groups, get out.
ㄴ The battle between chest and butt has been a serious matter since forever.
Oh, damn… I’m getting the urge to say something inappropriate.
ㄴ Open your notepad!! Be careful!!!
ㄴ The words are right at the tip of my tongue.
ㄴ If it were me, I’d give her the win.
ㄴ Forget landscapes and artistry, butt rules.
Wait a second, butt?
The sudden butt attack has me reeling. It’s cheating! Cheating!
I was going to judge based on artistic merit. But wait a second.
Looking closely, the photo has a nice starry night background, and the surrounding scenery isn’t bad either.
Most of all, the angle taken from below is genuinely artistic.
If there weren’t another contender, I was going to give the win to Elsa. Now, it’s a close match.
“Ah, what should I do?”
[HunterYaKaeYo] Admin! Did you see it??
Huh. Why are you asking me? Isn’t direct communication in the comments cheating? But ignoring it feels awkward too…
[Admin] Yeah, I saw it.
ㄴ [HunterYaKaeYo] How is it?
ㄴ [Admin] What about it?
ㄴ [HunterYaKaeYo] The photo ^^
ㄴ Look at this girl winking openly.
ㄴ Look at her flirting. She’s a real fox.
Oh no, it’s going to attract attention.
[HunterYaKaeYo] So… does that mean I win? ^^
ㄴ [Admin] I’m… still judging…
ㄴ [HunterYaKaeYo] I’ll look forward to it. ^^
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Admin is a byeong-shin, and you, wagging your tail at him, are a heretic! Be gone!!
T/n: Byeong-shin can be interpretated as Both Demigod or Idiot/Fool (an Internet Slang).
ㄴ [Elsa] Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (Coldly, so cold, freezing cold.)
ㄴ [HunterYaKaeYo] Oh my… It’s obvious you grew up without parents.
Wow, LOL, this is a mess.
ㄴ LOL LOL
ㄴ Those three are hilarious, LOL LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ Meanwhile, look at the Admin stuttering, LOL.
ㄴ [Admin] LOL
ㄴ I think I’m losing my mind, losing my mind, losing my mind.
ㄴ Did the Admin go out for lunch? LOL.
ㄴ Suddenly, it’s like an arena opened, LOL.
ㄴ Fact: When HunterYaKaeYo gets mad, she goes for the parents.
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL.
My contest for the users is being tainted!!
Let’s write a post ending the contest for now.
Those two photos were stuck in my mind so strongly that I couldn’t focus on anything else.
Plus, the sudden drama from those three nicknamed users was causing chaos to spread.
Title: [Throne Usurper Admin] Guys, I’ve chosen the winner. Stop posting now. [1052]
The gallery, which had been bustling for a long time, fell silent as soon as my post went up.
Title: [Throne Usurper Admin] And the winner is… drumroll…
(A series of dazzling, shiny, impressive photos of an ice palace. JPG)
Ta-da~~! It’s Elsa! Congrats, congrats!
[Elsa] I expected this. (Coldly joyful)
ㄴ LOL LOL, “coldly joyful,” what a weirdo LOL.
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ [Elsa] It’s all because I’m amazing. (Don’t mess with me, you idiots)
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ Just change your speech bubble, you idiot LOL.
ㄴ But honestly, I knew it would be her.
ㄴ Seriously, the composition and photo quality are insane.
Ah!!! I thought I had a chance too, but what a shame!!!
ㄴ The moment I saw Elsa, I gave up hope.
ㄴ Seriously, that icy girl takes incredible photos.
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ Suddenly, things got shallow LOL.
Why didn’t my photo of the lustful orc win?
ㄴ What about my photo of the demonic old lady…?
ㄴ And my shot of the zombie’s decaying flesh?
ㄴ Damn, I uploaded a really pretty flower photo, you jerks.
ㄴ Mine was an amazing cloud photo too!
ㄴ You guys were the only ones serious about this LOL LOL LOL.
ㄴ It was a contest filled with troublemakers…
Ugh, I guess it’s not meant to be. I’ll aim for the next contest…
ㄴ What did you post?
ㄴ My chin acne.
ㄴ Yeah, you weren’t going to win.
ㄴ It was a work that arranged red inflammation irregularly on peach-coloured skin, satirizing the conflicts surrounding modern society, you know?
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL Modern art, huh? LOL.
ㄴ Damn, such an image.
ㄴ LOL LOL LOL LOL.
No matter what, I couldn’t let a dirty photo win. Is this my own bias? Anyway, it just doesn’t sit right.
Title: [Throne Usurper Admin] Here’s the prize.
(A photo of something that looks like a bluish wooden club. JPG)
I picked something reasonable. It turns out it’s a B-rank weapon.
I’ll put it up in the Treasure Shop, so Elsa, make a trade request.
?????
ㄴ A B-rank weapon??
ㄴ Our Admin has finally lost his mind!!!!!
ㄴ That’s total nonsense.
ㄴ Admin! Admin! Admin! Admin!
Wow, that Elsa…
ㄴ Why do you just start swearing?
ㄴ So jealous, LOL.
ㄴ Was it always so easy to just give away a B-rank weapon?
This seriously isn’t right.
ㄴ Yeah, a B-rank weapon is too much.
ㄴ Does a B-rank weapon look like a joke to you? LOL.
The gallery was caught up in another storm of gossip.
