Chapter 33
Title: [D-rank Porter] Kkeukatkat!!!
(Approx. image of a Divine Barrier. JPG)
My name is Malok!!! I am the master of this host!!!!!
—Wow….
┗ Is this the power of an A-rank necklace…?
┗ Have you ever seen a barrier that size before?
┗ It looks insanely durable, too….
┗ So, you’re saying this isn’t magic?
┗ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
┗ How many mages would it take to create a barrier that size?
┗ Probably three C-rank Hunters awakened with Guardian School magic…?
┗ So, it really was an A-rank necklace…?
┗ For real ;;
—Admin!! What the hell did you give her!!!
┗ He gave her an A-rank necklace, duh.
┗ That checks out.
┗ Right, that makes sense.
┗ Admin is a god.
—How is the Porter even handling this?
┗ The necklace said it adjusted itself to her level….
┗ So that means the barrier’s strength was regulated?
┗ Seems like it ;;
┗ Then what happens if it doesn’t regulate itself…?
┗ Uh….
┗ Boom~
—But seriously, what’s going on with the Porter?
┗ Hey!! Hunter Fanboys!! Focus on the Porter first!!
┗ Her head’s acting weird, man!!
┗ For real, the necklace’s way of talking makes me want to punch it so bad LOL.
┗ It’s so annoying, seriously LOL.
┗ Looks like the necklace consumed her.
┗ But the Porter’s head was always weird, though.
┗ True.
┗ Can’t argue with that.
— [D-rank Porter]: Why is everyone acting like this? It’s me!!!
┗ The Porter is back with a vengeance LOL.
┗ Porter, did you use the barrier?
┗ [D-rank Porter]: The barrier? What are you talking about?
┗ You literally posted a verification post.
— [D-rank Porter]: Ahhh! I’ve never used anything like that!!!
┗ [D-rank Porter]: There’s another personality in my head now!!!
┗ Wow, she’s all over the place LOL.
┗ Man!!! This is~~ completely an arcade game!!
┗ Ah.
┗ Ugh, screw it, dentures confiscated for two months!
┗ I apologize….
—And so begins the story of the D-rank Porter, who owns an A-rank necklace but doesn’t know how to use it!
┗ Sounds like a musical narrator LOL.
┗ “Who just happens to own one.”
┗ LOL LOL LOL.
┗ She’s an A-rank item owner who doesn’t know how to use it LOL.
┗ LOL LOL LOL.
—Ugh!! Admin!!! You should’ve given it to me!!!
┗ And what’s your rank, LOL?
┗ E-rank LOL.
┗ And your job?
┗ I’m a Porter, too.
┗ Get out.
┗ Okay.
Considering how strong its ego is, Versilda might have had a hard time suppressing it…. I wouldn’t have guessed it, since I only saw her use it.
There actually is a textbook way to control an ego-possessed artifact. And it’s surprisingly simple.
— [Admin]: Hey, Porter, hey, Porter.
— [D-rank Porter]: Admin-father!! What happens to me now!!!
— [Admin]: I’ll teach you how to handle ego-infused artifacts, duh.
— [D-rank Porter]: Really?!
— [Admin]: Either have an honest conversation with the ego or win in a battle of wills. That’s it.
— [D-rank Porter]: That’s way too simple….
— [Admin]: But that’s all there is ;;
Oddly enough, it’s just like human relationships. A clash of egos ends in only one of two ways.
In any case, an ego-imbued artifact has a symbiotic relationship with its master.
It means “Malok had a reason for choosing the Porter.” Apparently, the Porter and Malok share a chaotic affinity.
“She really is a chaos-chaos human.”
And no ego kills its host.
Without a master, an ego loses its reason for existence. There’s definitely something Malok expects from the Porter.
You can tell because Malok said he’d adjust himself to the Porter’s level to keep her from going boom~.
The situation wasn’t as serious as it seemed.
— [D-rank Porter]: Kkeukat! Impossible!!!
— [D-rank Porter]: Admin is a complete idiot!!!
— [Admin]: Take your time and try to get along….
Ugh!! If I were Malok’s master, I might’ve beaten it to near death and hit it one more time to finish the job.
Anyway, reconciling two egos isn’t a simple process, so it takes time.
After all, an ego is also a mental entity.
Malok seems to act like this because it’s particularly nasty.
— [Elsa]: Admin. I’m curious why I wasn’t given equipment like that. (Why’d you give it to the Porter!!)
— [Elsa]: I’ve never seen a barrier like that. (I seriously want it.)
— [HunterYaKaeYo]: I admit, I’m jealous, Admin ^^
— [Admin]: You guys can’t handle an A-rank necklace anyway ;;
— [HunterYaKaeYo]: You never know. Maybe I qualify for an A-rank necklace, too? ^^
— [Elsa]: Not a chance. (Get real LOL. You’re not even an A-rank Hunter LOL.)
— [HunterYaKaeYo]: I’m really about to throw hands, seriously ^^
— [Elsa]: Admin. I’m curious why D-rank Porter is acting like that. (Is she okay?)
— [Admin]: Yep, Porter will be “stabilized” soon.
— [Elsa]: Got it. (ㅇㅇ)
— [Elsa]: Total chaos stabilizing into normalcy. (Because D-rank Porter was always a mess LOL.)
— [Admin]: To be honest, I’m not too worried about the necklace.
— [Admin]: But there is something else I’m suddenly concerned about.
— [HunterYaKaeYo]: What is it? ^^
— [Admin]: I’m not sure yet, so… I’ll tell you later.
— [Elsa]: Don’t leave people hanging. (Why the sudden tension, jeez.)
Whether the barrier was used by “D-rank Porter” or the ego embedded in the necklace, “Malok,” no one could say for certain. But after the verification post about the barrier, the gallery exploded with speculation.
Theories questioning Admin’s “true” identity took a step back.
First, the speculation that the necklace given to D-rank Porter was a genuine A-rank item resurfaced.
Next was the question of how D-rank Porter was still alive. But that soon passed as well.
Finally, a new theory emerged that poured cold water on the gallery’s mood.
Title: But if that really is an A-rank necklace
Is Porter going to be okay…?
—She’s alive for now LOL.
┗ The necklace said it adjusts to her level.
┗ “For now.”
┗ Malok, LOL, is surprisingly considerate LOL.
┗ “Tsundere position.”
┗ LOL LOL LOL.
—Porter’s mind has been consumed by the necklace!!!
┗ That’s fine.
┗ It’s just her usual schtick ㅇㅇ.
┗ Even Hunter Fanboys were mentally consumed by Porter’s antics. It’s fine.
┗ True, LOL.
—No, seriously, I’m asking this as a real question. (Serious tone)
┗ Assuming it really is an A-rank necklace, the question is whether Porter’s safety is guaranteed.
┗ Just think about the facts.
┗ Even if she can’t use the A-rank necklace properly,
┗ it’s still in the possession of a D-rank Porter (Awakened) who’s wandering around.
┗ Don’t you think every faction out there will target her?
┗ Uh….
┗ That’s true….
┗ Yeah, that makes sense….
That’s what I’ve been worried about—factions targeting the Porter.
As you know, the Hunter Gallery is used by all Awakened Ones.
What does that mean? It means this incident has already blown up massively.
And though I didn’t realize it while hyping up the chaos, the “fact” that an A-rank item caused this much of a ripple effect.
The gallery speculation quickly shifted gears.
Title: Couldn’t the Porter just hide it somewhere? LOL
Honestly, if she just buried the necklace in the ground, how would they find it?
—Right? LOL.
┗ Didn’t we all do that as kids?
┗ Marking the spot with a stick is standard procedure LOL.
┗ LOL, you just need a mark only you know.
—And how would they even identify the Porter’s real identity??
┗ Exactly, there are tons of Porters in Korea LOL.
┗ Do they know her active username?
┗ There’s no way Porter actually went around as “D-rank Porter,” right?
—They don’t even know if she’s a man or a woman LOL.
┗ They couldn’t figure it out even before her solo declaration LOL.
┗ Not even when the D-rank Porter’s party got wiped out LOL.
┗ Unless Porter goes nuts and starts describing her own features, it’s not happening.
┗ And she can just take off the necklace anyway LOL.
—But if guilds were serious about finding her, wouldn’t they succeed?
┗ That’s true ㅇㅇ.
┗ If the big guilds’ analysis divisions get serious, they could probably find her.
┗ I can’t say where I work, but I’m with a big guild, and this is legit.
┗ They’d probably find her in two days.
┗ For real?
┗ Yep, big guilds have gallery analysis divisions that specialize in this.
┗ What??
┗ So, they’ve seen the cross-dressing photos I uploaded??
┗ So it was you, dammit!! The hairy-legged woman!!!
┗ You’ve been caught LOL.
Title: Porter, if you’re reading this
Don’t trust anyone.
Hunter Fanboys are starving for gear, and you never know where you’ll get ambushed. For real.
—Suddenly, the atmosphere started getting weird.
┗ Do we really look like those kinds of fanboys to you?
┗ We’re not villains, LOL.
┗ Then would you seriously let a D-rank Awakened carrying an A-rank item pass by you without doing anything?
┗ …
┗ LOL.
┗ Hahaha….
┗ Yeah… sure.
—Look at these bastards getting all quiet.
┗ So scary.
—But doesn’t this mean Admin is also in danger?
┗ Admin is actually in the most danger, ㅇㅇ.
┗ He keeps producing A-rank items and consumables.
┗ Are they going to kidnap Admin?
┗ Probably tie him up and demand he hands over the items.
┗ They’ll probably kidnap the Porter, too.
┗ Even if she hides the necklace in the ground, they’ll figure out her identity, kidnap her, and torture her until she reveals its location.
┗ That’s true, ㅇㅇ.

Current Results

- Handful Squad [32%]
- Hunter Management Bureau [24%]
—Muggle Gathering is gone, though.
┗ How do you know they’re not trying to make a comeback with an A-rank item?
┗ With Vandalf’s personality, that’s possible, ㅇㅇ.
┗ Yeah, I could see that happening.
—We are not interested in that!!!
┗ [Pokkulom] We’re only interested in weapons….
┗ Dude!! We said we don’t care about necklaces!!!
┗ We wouldn’t even wear something like that!!!
┗ … An A-rank item….
┗ Yeah…. It does look cool….
┗ As people say these days, it’s dope….
—Handful Squad isn’t that kind of guild, though.
┗ ㅇㅇ. Their motto is honesty and consistency.
┗ Their guild master probably already has an A-rank item.
┗ They even manage the gates in Suwon FM-style ㅇㅇ.
┗ Plus, they’re officially allied with the Hunter Management Bureau, LOL.
┗ Do you believe that?
┗ Do you think they became the #1 guild through consistent, honest effort?
┗ There’s probably shady stuff going on, LOL.
—Why is the Management Bureau even on the list?
┗ Do you trust the Bureau?
┗ After hearing that conspiracy theory during Admin’s plot arc, my trust in the Bureau dropped.
┗ ㅇㅇ, there are plenty of shady rumors about the Hunter Management Bureau.
┗ They’re definitely not a transparent organization.
┗ They could easily be corrupt.
—Wow, this suspect lineup is crazy.
┗ Small guilds can’t even join in, LOL.
┗ Mid-tier guilds can’t keep up, ㅇㅇ.
┗ Admin and Porter, take care of yourselves.
┗ That’s what I’m saying….
┗ So, is it already a foregone conclusion that Admin and Porter will be kidnapped?
┗ They could just let it slide, LOL.
┗ We’re just saying to be cautious ;;.
Hunter Fanboys started worrying about my safety after Porter’s.
As expected, the scariest thing isn’t monsters or ghosts but other humans.
The incident has already happened.
The idea of targeting Porter is reasonable enough to consider.
“I’m not worried about myself.”
At least I could make some preparations for Porter.
Should I send her a long-range teleportation scroll? Or maybe a cloak of invisibility?
“It’d be a relief if it all just blows over….”
The real problem is which faction will make a move if something does happen.
Handful Squad, the #1 guild? Or their rival, Hansarang Mountaineering Club? Muggle Gathering… is pathetic, but you can’t let your guard down.
If the Management Bureau gets involved, things in Korea will seriously hit rock bottom.
“Who will it be?”
***
The gallery atmosphere was uneasy, and Admin was deep in thought.
“Admin… what an amusing fellow….”
“We’re one step closer to achieving our cause.”
“Silence! ‘He’ has arrived.”
In pitch-black darkness, a group of Awakened Ones muttered while staring at the gallery.
“He has arrived!”
At the appearance of a man assumed to be ‘Him,’ they all stood up in unison and chanted.
“The Age of Order is gone!”
The man shouted.
“All for the sake of pure chaos!!”
The villains answered with resolute voices.
“It is now the Era of Villains!!!”
The man shouted once more.
“All for the sake of pure chaos!!”
“Our goal is singular! To create a chaotic world! Chaos! Chaos is the new order!”
“Chaos!!”
Their true identity was the Villain Alliance, the “Frog Rebellion.”
