Chapter 1
Do you know the hero who became the admin?
Well… it was a cliché.
I was hit by a 2.5-ton truck while jaywalking, then transferred to a place called the continent of Selendar, only to find out that I was destined to be a hero.
So, after spending four years in that otherworld…
The pathetic loser, Lee Sangwoo, who could barely make a single friend, was long gone. Now, I was known as the hero, Ermain.
After defeating the Demon King…
“Am I… really back in Korea?”
I regained my senses, stood up, and looked around. It was the one-room apartment I used to live in.
I rushed to the bathroom and checked the mirror. It was a space less than one square meter, but it was enough to see myself.
My stylish red hair, eyes that sparkled like the Milky Way, my remaining solid muscles, and smooth skin.
Thankfully, my appearance was just as it had been during my time as a hero. Yeah. Up to this point, it was a typical cliché.

Suddenly, a screen appeared in my vision, like a hologram.
- Breaking news: Throne Usurper. New Admin appears. [49]
- ???: Currently inheriting the throne. Admin-father. [26]
- First time seeing a title like “Throne Usurper.” [12]
- Isn’t it because of you guys that the previous admin killed themselves? [25]
- Honestly, though, I didn’t really like the last admin. LOL [27]
- What’s with the new admin title? [43]
- If the post below is a meme, I’m nuking it.
- Awakened yesterday, is this ability any good?
- Loyal management! The previous admin! Already miss them. [67]
- Porter survived another day! [5]
“Ah.”
But what the heck is this? This isn’t the cliché I know.
The thousands of posts rising from there forcefully caught my attention.
- Flame Mage Hunter. Awakened as a C-rank. Any skill recommendations? [10]
- LOL noobs, can’t you see a rogue would totally crush a paladin? [801]
The UI felt oddly familiar.
“This is definitely like a gallery and a status window.”
I frowned at the sense of déjà vu flooding over me.
I closed my eyes, feeling the rush of dizziness.
From a traditional hero story… to an admin story?
Anyway, information. I needed information about this world.
Hunters in South Korea? What is that about?
I manipulated the hologram in front of me.
It felt similar to the way I used to wield the holy sword during my time as a hero, but there was something slightly odd about it.
I sifted through the countless posts regenerating in real-time and found one that had the most recommendations.
Title: In the chaos of the gallery, let’s learn the history of the Gate. Araboza
(A frog meme joyfully giving thumbs up. jpg)
It all started 10 years ago…
‘If it was 10 years ago from the posting date… That’s exactly the day I was transported to the Selendar Continent for 4 years.’
So, was I being transferred back to Earth for 10 years?
I refocused my attention on the post.
Before the Gate appeared, Hunter Fanboy was scratching between his legs like usual and browsing DC Inside.
But then the ground started shaking, and a huge purple shape appeared in the sky.
(Frog meme staring blankly at the sky with drool. jpg)
Introducing himself as the Demon King, he suddenly began cursing in a booming voice full of flair.
“Cracks will cover your world. All your weapons and technology will become as fragile as paper! I will return when I regain my power!”
And just like that, several Gates appeared in the sky!
That’s how Korea experienced the “4 Days of Destruction.”
I remember even Hunter Fanboy was so scared of goblins that he didn’t leave his house for more than four days.
(Frog meme happily eating popcorn. jpg)
But on the 5th day!
People started awakening! Yep, that’s how Hunters appeared.
(Frog meme with eyes popping out. jpg)
Then suddenly, a Status Window started appearing before my eyes.
Soon, other people could see theirs too.
That’s how the heroes who would fight against the Gates appeared—Awakened Ones, also known as Hunters.
Almost all the messengers went down, and then the legendary community appeared! It became the sanctuary for hunters—Hunter Gallery!
Thank you.

Hello!!! Friends~~~~~! Today~~~~~!
ㄴ Oh, geez, LOL, you’re never helpful!
ㄴ Season 388832th explainer has arrived, LOL.
“Typical cliché.”
ㄴ High-class Hunter cliché, dang.
So, summary please.
ㄴ 10 years ago, the Demon King’s curse opened Gates on Earth, and monsters poured out.
ㄴ Modern weapons got wrecked, and all the messengers stopped working. But then the gallery appeared.
ㄴ After getting smacked around by monsters, people started awakening 5 days later. Those are the Hunters.
The summary is more useful than the post.
After reading through more posts, I organized the current situation in my mind.
The monsters from the Selendar Continent that I fought as a hero had poured onto Earth.
Some people who were exposed to mana awakened. Those Awakened Ones, as they were called, became Hunters.
And somehow, they have access to a community that only they can use.
The cause of all this? The Demon King. No doubt, this chaos was caused because of him, probably as Revenge against me.
The fact that it took 10 years to transport me was definitely his doing as well.
“I just wanted to chill in the AC and eat pasta in peace!”
While flirting with girls with my handsome face.
But my healing life has been ruined.
“Ugh, how pathetic. Demon King, you’re just pathetic.”
Goddess, your after-service is seriously lacking.
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[You have earned points!]
[Current points: 20]
After reading so many posts, my points increased.
“Hm. Points…?”
I clicked on the info window on one side of the hologram.
[Community authority: Administrator (Master)]
[Hero’s abilities]
- (X) Sealed due to the Demon King’s Curse
[Awakened’s abilities]
- [D] Gallery Management: Requires 50 points to unlock initially.
[Current points: 20]
[Owned titles]
- [Hero] – (X) Sealed due to the Demon King’s curse
- [Throne Usurper] – One who forcefully dethroned the previous admin and took their place. The gallery has always wanted a competent and legitimate admin….
A status window appears, just as expected.
Considering my career as a hero, this isn’t particularly surprising, but a part of my chest felt a slight pang.
If I’d had something like this during my hero days, I wouldn’t have suffered so much, damn it.
Still, they say even a dog at school for three years can learn a proverb. It looks like I’ve awakened some abilities.
“But my ability is… gallery management….”
I hurriedly searched the posts for information on this ability.
But all I found were abilities like shooting fire or body enhancement; I couldn’t find a single mention of gallery management, even after combing through hundreds of pages.
It seems like even the previous admins, though they had the title, didn’t have any powers related to the gallery.
What does that mean? It must mean I was specially chosen.
“Specially chosen….”
It feels oddly similar to being a hero. Very much so.
Looks like I’ve been chosen for another round! Another round, damn it!
With mixed feelings, I browsed through the gallery.
Title: B-rank Hunter’s Melon Head.
(A random image of a B-rank hunter shaking S-rank breasts. JPG)
“Kya! LOL, noonas, I’m dead!!!”
ㄴ Loyalty, loyalty!
ㄴ Now I get why they talk so much about hunters.
ㄴ Why bother catching monsters at the Gate.
ㄴwant to “Hunt” this Hunter.
ㄴ Ugh.
ㄴ Are you seriously doing this here, Hunter Fanboy?
ㄴ Go die.
“Hehe….”
I immediately saved it. You can even save pictures.
No! This isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing!
Title: [HunterYakeo] A shot at the Gate to celebrate the new admin ^^
(A picture of a female hunter in armor that looks like it has high defense. JPG)
It was tough, but thanks to a B-rank hunter, I was able to ride the bus ^^
Admin, please take me on the bus next time too ^^
ㄷㄷ That Armor looks like it has some serious defense, showing a lot of skin too.
ㄴ For real, it’d deflect any attack.
ㄴ That mole on her chest, so hot….
ㄴ With that kind of chest, she could deflect the Demon King’s laser.
ㄴ LOLLLLL
ㄴ LOLLLL
Is posting these kinds of pictures to troll really fun? Ugh. Anyway, I saved it.
ㄴ LOLLLLL
ㄴ Seriously, does it feel good to act like a queen bee? I saved it too.
ㄴ LOLLL
[D-rank Porter] I wish I could ride the bus that easily too….
ㄴ Porter’s here. Surely not today too?
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Survival success!
ㄴ Kya! How did the rest of the raid go?
ㄴ [D-rank Porter] Total wipeout success!
ㄴ ?
“Oh, shit.”
Being the admin might not be so bad after all.
I fell into deep thought for a moment.
Maybe healing isn’t that far away after all.
If I can sit in my room and endlessly look at the boobs and butts of female hunters, wouldn’t that be healing?
Men are simpler creatures than expected.
“Hehe. I’ll save this too.”
In the end, I decided to do my best as the admin.
Now that I’d made up my mind, I set my guidelines for future actions.
- Gather points, gain strength, and manage the gallery.
- Prepare for the Demon King’s resurrection.
That should be enough, right? And always remember to save any fanservice images.
My eyes quickly shifted to the latest posts.
“I need points. I earned points by reading, so I should earn more by managing the gallery, right?”
Breaking news! An A-rank Gate has appeared at Myeongdong Station entrance! [4]
A Gate in Myeongdong?
What kind of creatures will emerge from an A-rank Gate?
(A random image of a C-rank demonic old lady worshiping an evil god, possibly with a tactical nuke. JPG)
Granny, you enjoying this?
Ah damn it! Another Cass image!
ㄴ Ah damn it, again!
“Ah.”
I had prepared myself for it, but I still wasn’t getting used to Cass images. I can’t believe I’ll have to keep seeing those black holes moving forward.
There was no reason for other users to feel uncomfortable because of such disgusting pictures.
You need to disappear.
I pointed at the user who uploaded the demonic old lady image, and a block function appeared.
[Do you want to block this user?]
Block duration: 10,000,000 days.
Reason: Get lost.
[Ding!]
[You have earned points!]
[Current points: 36]
Just as expected, managing the gallery raises my points.
So, can I use these points to regain my hero powers?
– To lift the curse, 999,999 points are required.
It’s possible, but right now it’ll take far too long to regain my hero powers. In that case?
[Awakened’s abilities]
– Gallery Management: Requires 50 points to unlock initially.
“I’ve saved the world, so managing a gallery should be easy.”
I casually stretched my neck and shoulders and steadied my breathing.
– Huh? Did all the Cass posts just get deleted at once? [3]
