Chapter 73
[Title]: [Penny Makes a Mountain] We’ve Defended Yongin.
(A picture of the wrecked Yongin. JPG)
Unfortunately, the Frog Rebellion’s second-in-command got away.
They disappeared after warning that they would return.
But we wiped out the rest.
There were many sacrifices, but thanks to Sir Admin, we successfully counterattacked.
Sir Admin… thank you…
— Legendary!!!
┗ Wow!!!!!
┗ We narrowly escaped danger again!!
┗ This is it!!!
┗ My chest feels tight with pride!!
┗ This is what I’m talking about;;

┗ How?
┗ The Red-Haired Hunter appeared in Busan and led the victory!!
┗ There’s even a video of the Red-Haired Hunter’s flick. It’s a real legend ㅇㅇ
┗ Seriously so cool lol
┗ He really is badass
— Breaking News;; Not a single casualty among the Hansarang Mountaineering Club Elders!!!
┗ What?
┗ How?
┗ They used the shield generator to the extreme, so only injuries!!!
┗ True veteran warriors!!!
┗ Ye, Elders usually don’t die easily anyway ㅇㅇ
┗ So damn cool
— Ah, wait, one of them just passed…
┗ Huh…? Why?
┗ But it’s over now?
┗ Apparently passed away on the way back due to old age ㅠㅠ
┗ Last words: I… wanted to die… fighting…
┗ Ah…

┗ This is insane lmaoo
┗ Legendary legendary lol
┗ LMAOOO!!
While the hunters were concerned about the Doppelgänger’s safety…
Admin (Real) was watching the gallery under his cloaking cloak.
Oh, good. Yongin was defended too. That’s a relief.
I was worried it wouldn’t be enough with just Director Lee Seung-cheol and Timothy [Penny Makes a Mountain] rushing back.
“Sir Admin! You’re amazing!!”
Agent Park Seo-yoon ran up and gave Admin (Fake) a light hug and a pat on the back.
Why is that damn Doppelgänger smiling?
“Hehe. Cozy-ping.”
The Doppelgänger wore the victorious smile of a true winner.
Don’t tell me… is he starting to enjoy this?
“You defeated Ggwaeng-gari yourself. Weren’t you scared?”
“Heroes never tremble, Agent.”
… The Doppelgänger suddenly used a deep cave voice.
Right. Even he’s a man, huh?
“Right. You are Hero-ping after all?”
“That’s right.”
As the Doppelgänger giggled and received Park Seo-yoon’s hug, a sharp gaze was felt from somewhere.
“Agent. Could you step aside for a moment? Yo…”
It was Seol Hayan. The two women exchanged subtle glances.
“Ah… Miss Elsa… you said you came all the way here to see Sir Admin, right…?”
“Hmph! That’s right. Yo.”
Park Seo-yoon seemed a bit displeased.
But who cares? Seol Hayan had come all the way from Gamjaguk to Busan for Admin.
“I’ll… step aside for a bit, then…”
And so, Park Seo-yoon gave them space.
“Elsa-ping? Great job—”
Just as Admin (Fake) was about to greet her for the first time—
“Hey! Adminnnnn!!!!”
“Gahk!”
Seol Hayan playfully put Admin (Fake) in a headlock.
“I… can’t breathe…”
“You’re kind of cool, huh? Huh? Supporting Yongin even while hiding from battle? Doing national work like a pro?”
“Hero… ping…”
The cave voice had long since disappeared from the Doppelgänger.
“This body came all the way to Busan just to see you!!!”
“Appreciate… that…”
Admin (Fake) couldn’t withstand Elsa’s strength.
He tried to resist by lightly tapping her arm, but soon slumped down.
“Gasp… Admin, are you okay?”
“Dizzy-ping…”
“Sorry. It’s our first time meeting in person. Was I too familiar…?”
“This is… a reward-ping…”
“Hey!! Pfft! What are you saying!! You’re crazy!!!”
Smack!! Smack!!
Back-smashes (cold) rained down.
“Elsa-ping… I’ll gallery less so… please…”
Just as the Doppelgänger was writhing in pain—
Suddenly, Seol Hayan leaned her face close to Admin (Fake).
“Gasp…”
The Doppelgänger tensed up as her face drew close.
“Admin. So when are we going to really meet?”
She whispered quietly into his ear.
“GASP!!!!”
What the—!!!
Both Fake and Real were shocked at the same time. What did she mean by ‘really meet’? Does she know something?
Does she actually know? Or is she just messing around?
“We’re… meeting now. ‘Rea…lly…’ yoong…”
The Doppelgänger stammered.
But his pupils were shaking like a magnitude 9 earthquake.
“Pfft! No…”
Seol Hayan gazed into the Doppelgänger’s eyes and chuckled.
“Not you… you…”
Then suddenly, she pointed into thin air. Where Admin (Real) was standing.
!!
What the heck? How’d she know I was here? Can she see me?
Admin waved his arm, startled.
As expected, she didn’t see him. She didn’t match it by sight.
But her gaze said, “Hey! I know everything, punk!!”
Admin quickly wrote her a note.
[Yo yo… did you just… say that knowing something?]
The note dropped quietly above Seol Hayan’s head.
She read it, then covered her mouth and chuckled.
“Hmph… I just… felt like the Admin I exchanged notes with wasn’t this guy.”
Suddenly, the Doppelgänger’s eyes became sharp and lucid.
“Ahem! I didn’t mean to deceive you.”
His voice was oddly softer and more mature.
“I know, Admin. It’s okay.”
Seol Hayan nodded knowingly.
She waited in silence for a moment. It was her way of giving him time to think.
“Let’s talk just the two of us soon.”
Admin whispered, almost apologetically.
“Sure. But now that I look at it, this version of you is kind of cute too?”
She lightly pinched the Doppelgänger’s cheek and stood up.
And like that, Seol Hayan turned and walked away.
“Admin! Let it go!!”
Leaving behind Elsa’s signature farewell.
* * *
A few days passed since the chaotic and noisy trip to Busan ended.
Everyone finished their goodbyes and returned to where they belonged.
Pokkulom regretted not being able to have “a meal together,” but decided to be satisfied just with the fact that he got involved with Admin.
Agent Park Seo-yoon looked busy being summoned all over the place as usual.
Even after returning to his one-room apartment, Admin couldn’t rest.
Was it because of national work? Or his life as a Hunter?
“Ow… damn… that hole again!”
It was just gallery scrolling.
[Title]: Guys, did you see the Bureau’s ranking announcement about Red-Haired Hunter?
They officially designated him as the first S-rank Hunter.
┗ For real?
┗ Did he reveal anything about himself?
┗ Nope nope nope nope nope
┗ They didn’t measure him to determine S-rank.
┗ They gave him the rank just to indicate he’s beyond classification.
┗ Damn… so badass.
┗ “Beyond classification”…
— Honestly, we still don’t know for sure.
┗ Maybe his Status Window actually shows SSS or SSR?
┗ Or XXX?
┗ Too much?
┗ Nah, it actually makes sense.
┗ But yeah, no one could match that performance.
— They say the mana wave from his flick reached not only Daejeon but also Yongin.
┗ For real?
┗ No joke, it’s true.
┗ Director Lee Seung-cheol confirmed it during the announcement—said he felt the mana wave himself.
┗ Even the news is reporting it.
┗ “Beyond classification”
┗ For real, insane

This was delivered by the President directly.
Here’s the summary:
[We express infinite gratitude to the Hunters who gave their all to stop the terrorist attack.]
[We also thank Admin of the Hunter Gallery for supporting the Hunters even in dangerous times.]
[Though many were affected by the Frog Rebellion’s attack, we have discovered a spark of hope.]
[That hope lies in the final words of the Red-Haired Hunter—his message is humanity’s riddle to solve.]
[We’ve already informed our ally, the United States, of the contents.]
[Neil Imnotstrong said, “We will do our best to spread the Red-Haired Hunter’s message to other countries as well.”]
[We earnestly ask all Hunters to discover the ‘truth’ of this world!]
That’s it.
— Wow… so the Red-Haired Hunter’s words became something this big…
┗ But really… he did feel like someone from another dimension.
┗ What is the “truth” he was talking about?
┗ The source of our power?
┗ Mana?
┗ Yeah, more and more new Awakened Ones are appearing too.
┗ Maybe he meant to look deeper into mana?
┗ Hmm…
— Or maybe it’s the world beyond the Gate?
┗ Or another dimension entirely.
┗ He did say he was just a fragment, after all.
┗ Multiverse?
┗ Gasp.
┗ What if he’s the Red-Haired Hunter of a parallel world?
┗ A Hunter Fanboy of a parallel world?
┗ That’s terrifying.
┗ My mom’s heart would be shattered to pieces LOL
┗ 😂😂😂
— Or maybe it’s about mana stones?
┗ That makes sense too.
┗ Since only monsters have them…
┗ Some people theorize that they’re a tool connecting our world and the one beyond the Gate.
┗ Ooh~ that’s cool, Fanboy.
┗ I heard that too somewhere.
[Title]: My thoughts on the ‘truth’ the Red-Haired Hunter mentioned
Isn’t it about a divine being?
Because he didn’t end up killing that “gu- whatever his name was”, right?
He’s too strong, so a god had to seal his power.
— A divine being tried to keep him in check?
┗ That makes sense.
┗ A man so powerful even gods feared him.
┗ Damn.
┗ But I think differently.
┗ Maybe it was a curse from some evil being opposing the Red-Haired Hunter.
┗ Ooh?
┗ That’s why he said he’d become a forgotten existence.
┗ That interpretation’s pretty good too.
— Then it’s the Demon King, right?
┗ Right! The Demon King sealed his power.
┗ From beyond the Gate?
┗ Gasp…
┗ So he was telling us to prepare for the Demon King.
┗ “Winter is coming” was his way of saying that.
┗ This is such a good interpretation.
┗ Detective Fanboy LOL
┗ I’m the crossdressing Fanboy LOL
┗ FFS!
— Then to prepare for the Demon King—
┗ He told us to open our eyes, right?
┗ But Pokkulom misunderstood that as racism.
┗ [Pokkulom]…
┗ LOL
┗ ???: I’m keeping my eyes wide open!!
┗ 😂😂😂
[Title]: Breaking news! Gorg Company’s stock up 736%!
(A photo of him being appointed as director of the “Red-Haired Hunter Prophecy Institute.” JPG)
(Video of him giving a lecture as an expert. MP4)
The only Awakened One who recognized the Red-Haired Hunter early on.
— Our Instructor Gorg is the best!!
┗ Instructor Gorg is amazing!!!!
┗ He really does have an eye for things.
┗ No wonder he trains rookies so well.
┗ Apparently he’s in talks with the U.S.
┗ For real?
┗ Yep, about the Red-Haired Hunter’s words.
┗ No wonder the stock’s up 736% LOL
┗ 😂
— But why does he look so nervous?
┗ Right? Like he’s been caught lying LOL
┗ Maybe he’s just nervous in front of a big crowd.
┗ He looks kind of resigned?
┗ Still, the place was packed.
— All this prophecy stuff aside LOL
┗ It’s just the Director ending LOL
┗ For real LOL
┗ This is peak Director content!!!
┗ Admin’s coin also up 292% right now.
┗ Really?
┗ A true legend 😂😂
“What am I supposed to do now.”
The snowball of meaning behind my ‘cool-sounding words’ just kept rolling.
Who knew it would spread on a global scale with people analyzing it?
But… didn’t I kind of say it really well?
“Anyway, it’s not like I said anything wrong.”
[Title]: Hey!! Can y’all stop ignoring Admin’s feats too?!!
(Video of Admin smashing Ggwaeng-gari with a rock. MP4)
(Video of Admin saying “Brave-ping!” while giving a thumbs up. MP4)
Admin personally delivered the final blow to Ggwaeng-gari!!!
— Hell yeah LOL
┗ Admin you bastard, you’re so brave LOL
┗ He didn’t even use skills.
┗ Must be seriously weak LOL
┗ For real, just smacked them with a damn rock LOL
┗ Awakened Ability: Gallery Management LOL
┗ At least he doesn’t lie…
┗ Just a brave-ping bastard…
— What the hell is “Brave-ping” LOL
┗ That’s how Admin talks, always has.
┗ He even spoke like that during negotiations with the U.S. LOL
┗ 😂😂 Legend
┗ Lowkey catchy though
┗ True LOL
— Addictive-ping
┗ That’s kinda annoying LOL
┗ Annoying-ping
┗ It’s kinda f***ing stupid LOL
┗ Little penis ping
┗ naga *(means Get Out)
┗ what n*gga?
┗ Dude.
┗ Boo~ racist~ boo
┗ Boo~ garbage~ boo
— Hey!! After Admin stepped in himself!!
┗ Didn’t the Red-Haired Hunter say, “He’s starting to awaken…” or something!!
┗ Oh right!
┗ That’s the most important part!!!!
┗ Red-Haired Hunter Quote: [The moment the Throne Usurper begins to awaken, a new dawn will rise.]
┗ “Throne Usurper” is 100% Admin!!!
┗ !!!!
[Title]: Remember this, everyone?
The current Admin became Admin by ousting the “still alive” ex-Admin [Kallog (that dumbass)]
As we all know, becoming the Admin of the Hunter Gallery requires certain qualifications.
Like being the very first Hunter on Earth [The First One]
He drove out the living [Kallog (legit dumbass)] and gained Admin status—maybe that’s what the Red-Haired Hunter recognized.
— Kallog really was a dumbass LOL
┗ For real LOL
┗ That interpretation is solid.
┗ Yeah, makes sense.
┗ He said he left the whole truth to that person, right?
— [D-rank Porter] It’s “entrusted,” not “entrusted X”
┗ Whoa, haven’t seen Porter in a while LOL
┗ What’s she doing these days?
┗ Probably gathering guild members?
┗ Busy recruiting fellow travelers for the afterlife LOL
┗ [D-rank Porter] I swear I’ll return!
┗ You already came back tho;;
┗ Why’d she return alive?
┗ 😂
— Anyway!! Admin!!!
┗ What’s your relationship with Red-Haired Hunter!!!
┗ Tell us!!!
┗ Do you know him personally?!
┗ Did he pass his power on to you?!
┗ Gasp!!!
— Admin, make a statement!!!
┗ Declare your position!!
┗ Issue a statement!!
┗ Say something!!!
┗ Speak to the Gallery!!!
┗ Hurry!!!
┗ I’ll hold my breath until you do!!
┗ Can’t I just keep holding my breath anyway?
┗ …..
The Hunter Fanboys began bombarding me with questions.
I mean… I’m Admin and Red-Haired Hunter.
Of course I know me.
I was just about to laugh and chill…
But.
“I know the answer.”
Admin began quietly typing a comment.
— [Admin] ….
┗ [Admin] Ah… is that how it is… You all don’t know yet, do you…
┗ !!!!!
┗ Something’s going on!!!
┗ Did he really inherit Red-Haired Hunter’s power?
┗ Is this for real?
┗ Is that why that loser Admin suddenly got brave enough to throw a rock?
┗ Rock action LOL
┗ 😂😂😂
— [Admin] When the time comes, you’ll know…
┗ [Admin] Let’s end this conversation here…
┗ Huh?
┗ Dude LOL
┗ Agh!! I’m dying of curiosity!!!
┗ Just say it!!!
┗ C’mon, spill it!!!
— [Admin] Ahhh… this is what we call “Hunfrica”…
┗ [Admin] Yes. I can broadcast live now….
┗ Huh?
┗ Live!
┗ Broad!
┗ Cast!
┗ !!!!
┗ (Shocked frog meme)
— What?
┗ Wait, is that already implemented?
┗ !!!!
┗ Uwoooo!! Admin!!! What is this!!!
┗ Damn it!! Adminnnn!!
┗ I love you!!!!
┗ Broadcasting video in real time!!!!
┗ I’m ready to “discharge” my white mana in real time!!!
┗ Dude?
