Chapter 40
After finishing my roasting session with Gukgeorijangdan, I waited for the Handful Squad’s last post.
Not just me—every Hunter Fanboy was eagerly waiting for the post.
Finally, a post appeared during the moment everyone had been anxiously anticipating.
[Title]: Handful Squad Report (5)
(Video of the Handful Squad main force arriving. MP4)
(Video of Gukgeorijangdan charging at someone and activating his self-destruct skill. MP4)
(Video showing an explosion followed by heavy smoke. MP4)
Another officer fled midway,
And just as everyone was about to succumb to Gukgeorijangdan’s self-destruction—
—???
┗ What’s this?
┗ Why does it cut off here?
┗ Isn’t that a rogue self-destruct skill?
┗ Yep, it is.
┗ That’s a rare skill.
┗ A power-dumping skill.
┗ Oh, that’s a rare one?
┗ Yep, it’s a skill rarely unlocked by B-rank Awakened Ones.
┗ At minimum, Gukgeorijangdan must’ve been at least B-rank.
┗ With that kind of power, he might even have been A-rank.
— Did they all die?
┗ Did the Handful Squad fail?
┗ Seriously?
┗ They made it this far, though.
┗ No way….
┗ That’d be ridiculous….
— Wait, was Gukgeorijangdan charging at the Porter?
┗ Seems like it.
┗ That guy really tried to commit suicide while taking the Porter with him.
┗ Damn, such a psycho….
┗ Ugh….
— And meanwhile, another officer fled?
┗ He escaped after leaving his subordinates behind?
┗ That guy isn’t normal either.
┗ Sacrificing his lackeys to flee—what a true villain.
┗ What a bastard….
— Is it over…?
┗ Don’t say that here!!!
┗ This idiot is crazy.
┗ Seriously deranged.
┗ They’re on our side!!! Our side!!
┗ Do you think saying that brings everyone back to life?
┗ Oh… is this the wrong place?
┗ Of course, it is, you idiot.
┗ Saying “is it over” here… smh.
┗ Get out, jerk!!!!
┗ Yeah, seriously, get out.
All the Hunter Fanboys clasped their hands together, praying for the Porter’s survival.
But I alone calmly waited for the result.
“No way.”
No matter how insane Malok is, he wouldn’t let his owner, the Porter, die.
Even if I didn’t know the specifics of that necklace, I was certain of one thing:
Weapons with egos don’t let their owners die.
[Title]: Handful Squad Report (6)
The post was temporarily interrupted due to the explosion’s aftermath.
At the moment when everyone was about to be wiped out by Gukgeorijangdan’s self-destruct skill—
The Porter herself activated the necklace and deployed a barrier, saving everyone.
Another officer fled midway.
(A picture of the D-rank Porter clutching the necklace and sniffling. JPG)
The Porter has been safely rescued.
We will retreat to a safe location from here and then disband.
— What the hell!!!
┗ Damn, you scared me!!!!!!
┗ Lolololol
┗ My heart nearly stopped, geez.
┗ Phew… jeez….
┗ Thank goodness they survived.
— Wait, the Porter handled the necklace on their own?
┗ It wasn’t Malok who did it?
┗ Party Leader here. Yes, the Porter activated the barrier herself.
┗ Seriously?
┗ Did the Porter awaken?
┗ For real? That’s ‘survival’ success right there.
┗ At this point, shouldn’t we call her the Survival King Porter instead of Kill Porter?
┗ Seriously, they’ve got insane survival instincts, lol.
— Did Admin anticipate this too?
┗ Did he account for even this?
┗ Wow….
┗ Is he really a god?
— Who was the idiot that said “Is it over”? Come out, lol.
— Then Come Out, You Bastard!!!
┗ It’s me….
┗ Well done!!!!
┗ They survived, lolol.
┗ Lmao!!!
— Wait, isn’t the one who said “is it over” the author Fanboy?
┗ For real?
┗ Hey, what about your series, dude!!!!!
┗ “Technically, The Banished Porter Shouts for Her Princess Life After TS.”
┗ Informative!!! lolol
┗ “I’ll take one more day off….”
┗ Damn, lol.
┗ Just take a month off, geez.
┗ Lololol.
— Oh! But isn’t the Porter a woman?
┗ For real?
┗ Look at the long hair, yep.
┗ Wait, the D-rank Porter was a woman?
┗ !!!!
┗ She wasn’t a madman but a madwoman all along, lol.
┗ Hahaha.
┗ That’s so accurate, lolol.
— So, was the Porter really TS’d into a woman?
┗ Was the author Fanboy a prophet?
┗ Is this another “is it over” prophecy?
┗ They were joking because they knew she’d survive, lol.
┗ Lolol.
┗ Did the overabundance of prophecies lead to the series going on hiatus?
┗ Apologies….
┗ Lolololol.
“Phew.”
No matter how certain I was, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
After all, it was my comrade, the Assistant Admin’s life on the line.
With the Porter’s survival confirmed, the Gallery reignited in joyous flames.
“Porter Rescue Operation: Admin-kun, Success.”
Every part of the strategy worked perfectly. Everything went according to plan.
To think Gukgeorijangdan would actually attempt a mutual death with the Porter at the end.
Honestly, I thought Malok would save the Porter.
But for the Porter to handle the necklace herself? And save the Handful Squad Hunters too?
Incredible. Simply incredible. Porter, just go ahead and save the whole world.
The only part of this strategy that was unexpected was that.
The fact that the Porter was truly capable of handling the necklace.
Anyway, aside from that, everything went as I predicted. Feels great!
[Title]: Come to Think of It, Who Were the Guys Who Kidnapped the Porter?
Were they just real-life troublemakers?
— “This is the Party Leader of the Handful Squad raid. They referred to themselves as the ‘Frog Rebellion.’”
┗ ?
┗ Why would they name their group Frog Rebellion, lolol?
┗ For real, lolol.
┗ Sounds like they’d never listen to anyone, lol.
┗ They probably croak when it rains….
┗ Just calling them real-life troublemakers would make more sense, lol.
— “They claimed they’d return.”
┗ By the way, didn’t one officer flee?
┗ That Ggwaenggari guy ran away, lolol.
┗ Now that you mention it, how pathetic, lol.
┗ For real, abandoning his subordinates to escape, lol.
— “They also mentioned someone referred to as ‘That Person.’”
┗ That Person?
┗ Who’s that?
┗ Is there a higher-ranking officer above them?
┗ Hm, so they’re an organization after all….
— Could it be?
┗ Why?
┗ Do you have a hunch?
┗ I’m just saying, aren’t the Frog Rebellion guys villains?
┗ What?
┗ Oh, that makes sense!!!
┗ Always ranting about chaos and disorder!!!
— But isn’t this a pretty serious matter?
┗ It means there are still criminal guilds alive.
┗ It’s definitely serious, yeah.
┗ Hm….
┗ The Bureau’s gonna have a headache dealing with this.
┗ Hunters should be cautious too, yeah.
┗ Hunters carrying expensive items, be careful out there.
— Why worry? We have Admin Zhuge Liang.
┗ And the Handful Squad, lol.
┗ Hey!!! Why aren’t we being mentioned too!!!!
┗ It’s because you literally did nothing, “Elder.”
┗ I’ll have to agree with that statement….
— Frog Rebellion, come at us, lol.
┗ We have Admin.
┗ And I’m here too.
┗ Who are you?
┗ A cross-dressing Hunter Fanboy.
┗ Oh.
[Title]: So the Poem-Writing Guys in the Gallery Were Villains?
But we don’t see any poems anymore, right?
— [Admin]: I banned the guys who wrote poems.
┗ [Admin]: Also banned those who sympathized with them.
┗ [Admin]: Since then, they haven’t appeared again, so it seems like they’re gone for now.
┗ So, there weren’t any other hidden messages?
┗ [Admin]: As far as I can see, nothing else.
┗ Admin’s eyes are godlike.
┗ Anything he finds will be discovered, lol.
— Were there any other officers in the Gallery?
┗ Yeah, about that.
┗ [Admin]: Nope. The only one giving orders in the Gallery was that guy, lol.
┗ [Admin]: Gukgeorijangdan really was a mere underling, huh.
┗ [Admin]: The other officers must’ve avoided showing up to avoid getting banned.
┗ Truly Admin Zhuge Liang….
┗ Zhuge Admin, legendary.
┗ The Orange Badge shines with glory.
┗ Saying “Orange Badge” makes it sound kind of lame, lol.
┗ Lolololol.
— Then why not just ban all the suspicious ones?
┗ Just ban anyone posting chaos-inducing or Cass images, lol.
┗ [Admin]: The troublemakers are already banned.
┗ [Admin]: Right now, there are no suspicious users, lolol.
┗ Ah, lol. Anyone who shows up now would just get sniped, lol.
┗ One wrong move and you’ll end up in the “Room of Truth,” lol.
┗ Or in the “Grave Plot.”
┗ The reason there’s still one Assistant Admin seat empty.
┗ Torture and interrogation are necessary, lololol.
┗ The author Fanboy was a prophet, lolol.
— Admin is definitely a god.
┗ Admin is Zhuge God.
┗ No, genius. Godlike wisdom is for humans, not garnishes for cold noodles, lol.
┗ Why are you picking a fight, moron?
┗ Eff off.
Come to think of it, the name “Frog Rebellion” is pretty unique. It’s certain there are other officers.
It’s really a human thing. This is it.
If they truly are villains, meaning criminals, they’ll commit crimes again.
Maybe on an even larger scale? They did say they’d be back.
Anyway, that Hunter Fanboy’s point is correct. When they return, just crush them all!
Gukgeorijangdan has disappeared from the admin chat. Checking his user info now shows “[No User Information].”
It’s certain now. He’s really dead. The end of a mere mortal.
Somehow, I’ve managed to normalize both the Gallery and reality a little.
[Title]: Creepy Points About Admin During the Porter Kidnapping Incident
At first, he said giving orders through a post only once or twice would be enough.
And he really only gave orders once or twice, lolol.
—???: The basics of command lie in strategy.
┗ True.
┗ ???: With just strategy, you could already call it a victory.
┗ Also true.
┗ ???: Giving orders through a post once or twice is enough.
┗ Facts, lol.
— He even gave commands through comments, lol.
┗ Commanding via “Click Comment,” lol.
┗ What were the real-world troublemakers doing, lol?
┗ Why were they running around in circles, lol?
┗ What were the raid leaders shouting their throats hoarse on-site doing, lol?
┗ Just needed to say, “Do it this way,” in a comment, lol.
┗ Lolololol.
┗ Admin turned not just real-world troublemakers but all party leaders into mere mortals, lol.
— A man who keeps his word: Admin, lol.
┗ For real. He always follows through, lol.
┗ He even protected the Porter, lol.
[Title]: Admin Oppa, You’re So Cool ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
(A shiny armpit video, MP4.)
When I’m in danger, save me as coolly as this ㅠㅠㅠ.
— Wow, that armpit.
┗ Insane, for real.
┗ I want to lick it.
┗ Bring me rice!!!
— [Admin]: Bring forth the feast of debauchery!!!!!
┗ Ah, lol, celebrating the victory, lol.
┗ Oppa…. Do I need to bare my chest too?
┗ Should I oil your armpits…?
┗ [Admin]: Hmph….
┗ [Admin]: What about sweaty armpits?
┗ Checked!!
┗ Got it, Oppa!!
┗ I’ll do 100 squats and upload more photos!!!
— Admin, this bastard really knows his tastes, lol.
┗ For real, lol.
┗ Stay strong, Hunter Girls!!!!
┗ Bare your butts too!!!
┗ And your thighs!!!!
┗ Hunter Girls, let’s go!!!!!
Honestly, armpits are a mainstream preference.
It’s a tragically overlooked area, overshadowed by chests and butts.
Just save the video. Tonight, this photo will suffice….
“Okay. Now I can sleep soundly tonight.”
But why hasn’t the D-rank Porter shown up yet?
She should post proof of her survival to complete her actions for the day.
— [Admin]: Are you Porter Groupies meeting up?
— [Admin]: Did you meet the Porter?
— [Elsa]: No. (Didn’t see her, ㅇㅇ.)
— [HunterYaKaeYo]: I didn’t meet her, ㅠㅠ.
— [Admin]: What? You really didn’t meet her?
— [Elsa]: It ended before I arrived. (ㅇㅇ Got turned around midway.)
— [HunterYaKaeYo]: Same here, ㅠㅠ.
— [Elsa]: Lucky I didn’t arrive in time. (Phew.)
— [HunterYaKaeYo]: Truly lucky….
— [Admin]: But why isn’t she showing up?
— [Elsa]: No idea. (Hmm…. Really, though….)
Why isn’t she showing up? Did something else happen?
If so, there should’ve been a post from the Handful Squad Hunters along with her.
Should I ask the raid leader about it?
But then, a post in the Gallery caught my eye.
[Title]: So How Did the Handful Squad Survive with the Porter?
If she’s the Kill Porter, shouldn’t the Handful Squad Hunters all have been cursed to die?
— What?
┗ Exactly?
┗ Could it be?
┗ Does this count as part of the party?
┗ Since she saved them and traveled with them….
┗ Gasp….
— Wait, weren’t all the Hunters alive?
┗ Based on the Porter Curse, it’s valid until everything ends.
┗ If you part ways before the end, everyone dies, lol.
┗ Damn, that’s terrifying, lol.
— Did the Handful Squad all die in the end?
┗ Kill Porter, scary.
┗ If they’re dead, it’s really not a concept, lol.
┗ It has to be just a concept….
┗ It must be….
— But what if all 40 Handful Squad Hunters died at once?
┗ That’d stir up some weird real-world rumors….
┗ Hunters!!!! Nooooo!!!!
“What.”
Come to think of it, how does this work?
The Porter is just a concept joker…. Right?
Could it be…? Is she so guilt-ridden that she hasn’t posted?
What if the Party Breaker concept isn’t just an act but the truth?
A Party Breaker…. But how? How is that possible?
The Gallery’s vibe was growing strangely uneasy, just as the commenter pointed out.
***
Meanwhile, Admin and the others were worrying about the Handful Squad Hunters’ fate.
“Sniff, sniff….”
“Porter, please calm down now…. Let’s go together….”
“Admin told us to prioritize your safety above all else.”
“Party Leader, the Porter is so relieved to have survived that she can’t stop crying….”
Contrary to the Gallery’s concerns, the Handful Squad Hunters were alive and well, comforting Lee Hye-in.
She couldn’t stop crying.
As the Hunters struggled to console her, she finally spoke through her sobs.
“Damn it…. Admin again…. I have no choice but to worship him now!!”
“…What?”
“Don’t you all realize that you’ve been blessed by Admin?!”
“…Well, he did plan the strategy… So, shall we get moving….”
“I’m starting a guild to worship Admin!!”
“…?!”
