Why me?
Why me?
"...... For now, I think it'd be best to talk about what happened at that research lab later. You must be exhausted, so get some rest."
"Should Eonni go buy you something delicious? Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Anything I want to eat..."
[I recommend not saying anything. Currently, Administrator-nim, you are pretending to be an experimental subject who knows nothing, so if you talk as if you know everything, it won't add up.]
Ah.
Wow, you just hit the *nail on the head*.
[...... Please stop using that tone.]
Um... sorry, I was just joking.
"I'm not sure..."
"Ah... you're not sure... Hmm... Eonni will just buy something on my own, don't worry!"
Thankfully, whether she understood my situation well or not, she said that with a pitiful expression and left.
Just like that, I was left alone with the other Noona.
'This is kinda awkward...'
Unlike the Noona who just left, this Noona is, how should I put it... is she super introverted?
Even though we were left alone together, she didn't say a word, yet her gaze kept drifting toward me.
It's super awkward...
'Maybe I should learn a bit about this AI in the meantime...'
Sitting still is boring...
I wish I at least had a phone to play with...
Or wait, is that right?
Come to think of it, I'm supposed to be an experimental girl who knows nothing.
If I, in this state, show that I know how to use a phone, let alone play with one, they might think it's weird.
Not to mention asking to borrow one.
[Are you talking about me?]
'Yeah, well... there's still so much I don't know about you...'
[I see. It is certainly better for you, Administrator-nim, to be somewhat familiar with me.]
I gave a small nod at that.
[Basically, I am the secretary for the System Administrator. I can handle the complex tasks that you, Administrator-nim, would otherwise have to do.]
'For example?'
[I can check a target's information.]
Immediately after, an information window suddenly popped up in my vision.
Name: Han Seol
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Job: Mage

'What is this?'
Something incredibly simplified caught my eye.
I was looking around, wondering what this was, when the explanation continued.
[This is the information of the system user currently in front of you.]
'Huh.'
What...?
Status information can never be shown to others.
You can grasp it roughly, right? But checking it in such detail, even if the target allowed it, was absolutely impossible.
I heard there was no way to even see statuses in the first place.
'And I can see it this easily?'
Does this make any sense?
I made a genuinely flustered expression. However, the AI shrugged, saying this much is natural for a System Administrator.
[There are many other things I can do. If you, Administrator-nim, work as an administrator and collect points, you can do various things.]
Work as an administrator?
[This position of Administrator is not just for the system itself, but also refers to another role as an administrator.]
'Wait...'
The moment I heard that, I had a bad feeling.
'Wasn't there some kind of community that only Hunters could use?'
To be precise, it was a community where Hunters could share information using the system.
Of course, a community using a specific website is possible, but most of what gets posted there is just miscellaneous chatter; I know that real, proper information sharing happens in the Hunter Community.
Honestly, unless you became a Hunter yourself, that information was something you could never know, so to think I'd find out about it this way...
[It is the place you are thinking of.]
No way, this is real...
The moment I thought that, another window suddenly popped up in front of me.
[D-rank gate at OO Station today is crossing the line, ffs]
[I'm an F-rank Awakened, can I go here?]
[Hunter-bro wasn't happy, was he?]
[D-rank gate at OO Station today is crossing the line, ffs]
The healer wasn't healing and just spaced out, the tanker almost got fucked lol
I spent all day grinding for a single magic stone, but the potion costs were higher, ah ffs lol

- If you're pissed, level up your specs, you idiot?
└(OP): What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
- lol getting wrecked by goblins and taking it out here lololol
└(OP): No, you guys need to see this, seriously.
- So which party is it? Need to screenshot and shame them, yeah.
[I'm an F-rank Awakened, can I go here?]
(Area photo.jpg)
Just awakened and got F-rank, can I make a living if I go to the local underground gate here?
A hyung I know said if I go there and mine some magic stones, I can at least make enough for chicken, is that for real?
[Comments]
- Go if you want to die, yeah. It's not goblins there, it's orcs, you'll become a meal immediately lol
- lol trying to earn chicken money and ending up with funeral costs. Just get a part-time job.
└(OP): Holy shit;;
- Considering the risk to your life, you'd get paid more, but it's way better to just work a part-time job outside than take that money, yeah.
└ (OP): Thanks, Hyung-nim...
[Hunter-bro wasn't happy, was he?]
Sadly, Hunter-bro knows it too. Hunter-bro was much happier back when he was working part-time jobs before awakening, scraping by on expired food, and just browsing the gallery in a semi-basement...

- Rollororing: These bastards are at it again.
'Wow, what is all this...'
I thought Hunters would gather to share amazing strategies or tactics, but the reality is just idle chatter, tearing each other down, and the cries of those thirsty for dungeon information.
Aside from the fact that only Hunters can use it, it didn't look much different from real-world communities.
I'm the Administrator of a place like this?
[...... Transfer complete.]
Huh.
[As of this moment, Administrator-nim, you have become the owner of this community.]
Excuse me?
[You are the Head Admin.]
The fuck, that's bullshit.
'Heeeeeek?!'
I immediately went to the profile section to check, and sure enough, a brilliant Administrator badge was attached.
This is like... that feeling of being bound by being made a manager so you can't run away...
A premonition that I'll never be able to escape...
Premonition... it's delicious...
[Notice][A manager has been appointed.]
Premonition... delicious...
No, what is this...?!
'Why are you posting a notice on your own?!'
[A manager has been decided, so shouldn't the users be informed?]
When I shouted at the secretary who suddenly introduced me, asking what the hell she was doing, she replied as if asking why I was asking such an obvious question.
Is that so?
No, I just thought it would be better to just stay under the radar without announcing it...
I thought that, but it was already done.
[Comments]
- EumuEumu: Head Admin welcome lol
- Yeah, alright, welcome.
- Wait, there was such a thing as a Head Admin here?
- It's been vacant for a long time, but it's finally here.
- The Head Admin just appeared now? Then until now...?
└ Hunter Gallery ghost story, damn.
└└ No, seriously, then who has been managing it until now...?
- freezen: Phew... finally, it seems I don't need to freeze shitposts with ice magic anymore...
└ ThisIsMyMound: What kind of guy is this.
└ freezen: (Sticker of throwing a block of ice)
- GoblinLover: How about a goblin for the badge?
└ Get out, fuck.
└ Ugh.
- Yoodong: Yeah, alright, welcome lololol shall we see our Head Admin's dick????
└ "Multiple Yoodong Clone Jutsu"
└└ Argh, anything but that.
'Um...'
I wanted to use it once, too.
Usually, if you become the Head Admin of a specific gallery, using the community normally becomes a difficult task.
After all, if you have an orange badge next to your nickname, you can't help but attract aggro, and people often complain, asking why the Head Admin is writing posts like this...
[Do not worry about that part. You can act anonymously.]
Uh... should I be relieved about that...?
It was when I was looking at the community with a complicated expression.
'Huh?'
For some reason, there was a window to check detailed information for every user.
At first, I thought it was just viewing usage history, what posts they'd written, or what comments they'd left... something like that, but when I actually clicked and checked, it was completely different from the function I had imagined.

"Eh..."
Somehow, the real-life information of the people using the community was appearing before my eyes.
And not just one person, but anyone I wanted.
