Chapter 34
What is the commonality among Awakened Ones who work as Hunters?
They move for mutual benefit, band together, then scatter again, sometimes clashing with one another. Yet, they are closest to being heroes.
In other words, they are heroes.
Then who stands on the opposite side of heroes?
“The era of chaos will soon arrive!!”
It’s the villains. Those who emerged alongside the monsters after the Gate crisis.
As everyone knows, the world isn’t filled solely with bright sunshine.
Just as there’s a Demon King if there’s a Hero, if there are Hunters, there are villains.
“If I ever gain overwhelming power, I’ll create a world where the strong devour the weak!”
“Kuhuh… When will my dark flames awaken….”
“One day, I’ll create a world where strength is law!”
Villains were wicked and depraved even before they awakened as Awakened Ones.
Once they awakened their abilities, they veered entirely off course.
“Finally!! Our time has come!”
“My opportunity has arrived!!”
“I’ve gained the power to create a chaotic world!!”
They were now trying to realize the fantasies they had only imagined. Thus, they began operating as criminal guilds.
But they were soon dispersed pitifully.
Do you remember the war against the guilds?
The Hunter Management Bureau managed to sweep out nearly all the criminal guilds, leaving only the Muggle Gathering.
After the sweep, the surviving criminal guilds began to unite for their mutual goals.
That’s how the Frog Rebellion, the rebellious villains of the Hunter-centric society, came into existence.
If the Handful Squad is the strongest Hunter guild, then the Frog Rebellion is the strongest villain alliance!
Their goal is clear.
“Chaos is the new order.”
Indeed, to create a chaotic world.
But there was an obstacle. That was the Hunter Management Bureau, the protectors of the Hunter-centric society!
The fear instilled by the Bureau was greater than they had expected.
Therefore, the Frog Rebellion needed to gather villains and grow stronger.
They also needed to wait until the memory of villains had faded from people’s minds.
Until the word “villain” became a mere meme.
In the meantime, the Frog Rebellion committed minor yet malicious crimes like “stealing bicycles” or “recklessly pouring sauce on tangsuyuk” to appease themselves.
Occasionally, some couldn’t suppress their evil instincts and committed murder, but anyway.
“But now, the time has truly come!!”
A shrill shout pierced through the shadows cast over the dim table.
It came from Gukgeori jangdan, a founding member of the Frog Rebellion and its fifth-ranking villain.
“With the Admin’s abilities, ‘He’ will truly be satisfied….”
The words came from Ggwaeng-gwari, the fourth-ranking villain of the Rebellion.
The reason they decided to act now was simple: the arrival of the new Admin of the Hunter Gallery.
Before his arrival, the Hunter Gallery had been, essentially, a cesspool and the pinnacle of chaos.
The previous Admin, kallog, had been too busy deleting Cass images to stop genuine disruptions.
In fact, all former Admins, except for the first Admin, First One, had been the same.
Thus, the Gallery had been chaotic, and the Frog Rebellion had been satisfied, paying it no mind.
But the current Admin was different.
He ruthlessly dished out 10,000,000-day bans to disruptive users, forcing them to face reality. His speed in managing the Gallery was unmatched.
Immunity to Cass images was a given, and the same applied to his Assistant Admins.
The Gallery had found order. This, the Frog Rebellion could not tolerate.
And what about the Admin’s abilities? His actions were unprecedented.
No, they were remarkable. He scattered potions freely and had gifted Elsa a B-rank item and the D-rank Porter an A-rank item.
And he did it as if it were nothing. He must have awakened extraordinary abilities.
“If ‘He’ absorbs the Admin’s abilities, it will greatly aid us in turning this nation! No, the entire world! Into chaos!!”
“In that case, toppling the Bureau will be a piece of cake….”
Indeed, the Frog Rebellion’s goal was now to plunge both the real world and the Gallery world into chaos.
“What if the Admin notices the secret code in our message!!”
“He won’t. No chance of that.”
“Then are we truly moving forward with the plan!!”
“Send the secret code to our scattered lackeys….”
“The abduction plan begins now!!”
Gukgeori-jangdan thought to himself.
‘This is my chance to be recognized by Him!’
Comments in the Gallery:
Title: Then, wouldn’t other countries also target the Porter and Admin?
The Admin who can grant A-rank items,
And the D-rank Porter who owns but doesn’t know how to use an A-rank item. The news might have spread?
┗ That Porter’s like a golden goblin.
┗ Golden Goblin, lol.
┗ If she even goes solo, then it’s true.
┗ ???: Oh, somewhere in Korea, a Porter’s wandering around with an A-rank item?
┗ ???: And there’s an Admin who gifted that Porter the item?
┗ ???: Let’s head to Korea immediately!
┗ LMAO.
—Foreigners are going to pour in, lol.
┗ The U.S. is still an ally, so it’s okay.
┗ China’s going to be a real problem, though.
┗ Japan’s there too….
┗ Koitsuwwww This is a complete goldminewwwww
┗ LOL.
— [Admin]: Oh, do other countries also have Hunters?
┗ Of course, they do, lol.
┗ But the routes are all severed, so communication’s impossible.
┗ The Demon King destroyed all the means of communication, didn’t he?
┗ And the seas are filled with monsters, so you can’t cross them either.
┗ That’s because Gates opened across all seas, I heard.
┗ Oh, really?
┗ Yeah. Plus, they can’t be observed, and we don’t even know their ranks. If you send a ship, it gets eaten immediately.
—Then how do you guys know news about other countries?
┗ Before Gates appeared in the seas, there was communication between countries.
┗ Yeah, for about the first year, it was possible.
┗ Oh, I see.
— [Admin]: What about the Gallery?
┗ Of course, the Gallery is the most important thing, lol.
┗ Only we have the Hunter Gallery.
┗ [Admin]: Oh, really?
┗ No one knows why. Other countries don’t have Galleries.
┗ And if another country tries to invade, our K-Hunters won’t stay quiet, lol.
┗ Agreed. Unless they sneak in.
┗ [Admin]: Are K-Hunters strong?
┗ Our Hunters are insanely strong.
┗ Do we look like we’re just messing around in the Gallery for fun?
┗ Our land is small, so we don’t have many people, but still, lol.
—Then other countries wouldn’t know much anyway.
┗ True. No news would get out. We’re fine, lol.
┗ Porter and Admin, you’re safe now, lol.
┗ Safe as steak.
┗ Shut up, seriously.
Unintentionally, I learned about the situation in other countries. Well, it’s not like the entire world outside of Korea has been destroyed.
For now, it seems like there are no communication methods other than the Gallery. And they said other countries don’t even have Galleries.
There doesn’t seem to be any global-level danger to worry about.
“So that leaves the factions within Korea.”
Still, it’s sad to hear that other countries don’t have Galleries.
Title: Upvote if nothing much happens, lol.
The Hunter Fanboys just scared everyone for no reason, lol.
┗ Upvoted, lol.
┗ Poor Porter. ㅠㅠ
┗ And Admin too, lol.
┗ Admin trembling in his room, scared of being kidnapped, upvote, lol.
┗ Upvoted, lolol.
— [Admin]: I’m Admin, and I’m not worried at all.
┗ You’re literally the Admin, though, lol.
┗ Haha, for real, lol.
┗ Be honest, you were a bit scared, right?
┗ Admin tidying up his chest hair in his room, only for it to stand on end, upvote, lol.
┗ Why is it standing on end, lol?
┗ ?
┗ Are you gay…?
┗ Upvote, lol.
Title: See? Our Hunter Fanboys are kind-hearted, lol.
—What kidnapping and torture, lol.
┗ For real, lol.
┗ We only know how to mess around in the Gallery, lol.
┗ Whoever started that “suspected factions” poll, come out, lol.
┗ Think about it. Guild members use the Gallery too, lol.
┗ If they acted knowing public opinion like this, wouldn’t it be obvious they’re the culprits?
┗ “I’m the culprit!” What a joke, lol.
—But couldn’t some shady Hunter Fanboy kidnap the Porter out of greed?
┗ Then go find the D-rank Porter yourself, lol.
┗ Or maybe some huge faction we don’t know about might kidnap her!
┗ Are you suggesting something like the Freemasons?
┗ Small guilds can’t even analyze the Gallery, lol.
┗ Only a major corporation could identify the Porter, lol.
The Hunter Fanboys were already starting to relax. Could this really end as just a simple incident?
What that Hunter Fanboy said makes sense.
If a well-known faction moves now, it’s basically admitting they’re the culprits.
If the Porter does get kidnapped, it’ll be easy to trace which faction with an analysis team is responsible.
As long as the Porter doesn’t reveal her own characteristics, it should be fine.
Then I can relax too and teach the Porter how to handle the necklace’s ego while scrolling through some Hunter-related memes.
—Porter, have you made up with the necklace?
┗ [D-rank Porter]: Malok has been quiet lately….
┗ Is he tired of you?
┗ Haha, lol.
┗ [D-rank Porter]: I’m more exhausted because of the necklace!!!
┗ Sure, sure, I get it.
┗ But just in case, take off the necklace and hide it, lol.
┗ We already confirmed you won’t die while wearing it, lol.
┗ Cheers~
┗ [D-rank Porter]: But the necklace won’t come off….
┗ ?
—You mean you can’t take it off?
┗ [D-rank Porter]: I can take it off, but I can’t get rid of it….
┗ [D-rank Porter]: Kuhak! I am bound to my host!!!
┗ [D-rank Porter]: Kuhakak!! The host and I are one!!!
┗ [D-rank Porter]: However, unless worn, my power cannot manifest!!
┗ ? Why are you saying that here?
┗ Malok, you stupid troll!!!
┗ Damn it!!!
┗ Why would you reveal that here!!!
“Damn it! It’s over!”
Thanks to Malok’s trolling, the fact that the Porter cannot get rid of the necklace is now public knowledge.
Now anyone can target her easily.
Damn it… Malok, if I were your owner, you’d be dead by now.
Let’s remember that the Gallery is the only means of communication.
If a faction is really making moves, they must’ve left some trace in the Gallery.
I quickly began flipping through the Gallery pages.
There was no time to ask the Assistant Admins for help.
Besides, they wouldn’t recognize anything even if they saw it.
As I was skimming, I came across a suspicious post.
Title: [Gukgeori-jangdan] Scribbling a poem today!
Where are we headed now?
Will we reach our destination soon? But still,
If we take small, steady steps,
Perhaps we can travel the entire world?
They say starting is half the battle. Now is the time
To leave small footprints on the world.
—What the hell is this guy posting poetry for?
┗ What a stupid concept.
┗ Did he awaken poetry skills?
┗ LOL, lolol.
—Been waiting for your posts!
┗ This post gave me good vibes.
┗ Such inspirational words~~.
┗ I’m about to set out right now~
┗ I’ll do it too~
┗ I’m heading out now~
Who am I? A former Hero turned Admin.
“Case closed.”
