The Secret Behind the Head Mod's Brew

The gallery had completely turned into a ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠festival. The East Army had successfully defended Archeinia from the three-race alliance, keeping the fortress and its residents safe.

"Thanks to that, the number of gallery users has grown quite a bit."

If he kept growing the gallery like this, it would naturally benefit him too.

His dream of buying his own home? It might actually come true soon.

"Let's keep it going like this."

Just then.

"Oh."

Half the points spent on buying support supplies for the East Army were refunded.

Suddenly, a hidden quest was cleared, and a massive sum of 50,000 points rolled in.

"Aww yeah~"

Derek smiled widely and continued reading the concept posts.

"Ah, right. The contest."

Since the announced time had passed, he quickly closed it.

Beep-beep-beep! Ding!

Just then, the gallery system calculated the results.

Sure enough, the comment section was already showing signs of catching fire.

"Stop!"

First, he distributed the prizes.

"Everyone says they want chicken?"

Thanks to that, he didn't have to spend many points unlocking items to give them out.

"I just need to send RD1234 some high-grade fuel..."

He unlocked only the high-grade fuel and sent chicken to the rest.

And the last one remaining was...

The secretary of the overworked Vampire Lord.

She was the first-place winner of this contest, the registered user 'Red Secretary'.

Vampires. They were the noble race of the Demon Realm that ruled the night.

Their leader was the Vampire Lord, who pledged loyalty to the Demon King and was bestowed the title of Duke.

"Sigh."

He was also the direct superior of 'Red Secretary'.

Her username being 'Red Secretary' wasn't by choice.

— You should use the Demon Realm Gallery too, keep up with how the world is turning.

Thanks to the great Vampire Lord's personal command, the female secretary joined the gallery.

— Your Grace, it says I need a nickname.

— Ah, yes. A nickname... Well, since my nickname is Red Duke, how about Red Secretary?

And so, it was lazily decided. Completely unaware of the fact that the nickname change function had been locked when the previous Head Mod disappeared.

The gallery was quite useful in its own way. Since the Demon Realm was vast and inhabited by various races living together.

"Hmm, so the undead have these kinds of habits."

She could acquire information about other races here that she couldn't get in the foothills of the Waning Moon, the homeland of vampires.

"Ah..."

Of course, there were side effects, like disgusting images and photos of reverse-naked troll grandmas casually floating around, shocking her eyes.

For a while, she hadn't logged into the gallery due to having too much work.

"You! Look at the gallery!"

"Yes?"

But because her boss made a huge fuss about an emergency, the secretary logged into the gallery after a long time.

And she witnessed the series of events vividly.

"My goodness..."

The Vampire Lord, famous for rarely showing kindness to others, was not only defending the Head Mod, but the Head Mod had also brilliantly repelled the fierce onslaught of the Order races and skillfully comforted the residents of Archeinia.

"He truly is an incredibly capable person."

If it was a Head Mod like him...

"Maybe he can solve my worries too."

Coincidentally, the troll report contest was being held, so she diverted about ten percent of the energy she usually put into her work and poured it into the report contest.

"I did it!"

She proudly claimed first place.

"W-What? You're first place? In that case, the prize must be the glorious seasoned chicken—urk!"

"It is my prize, Your Grace. Please do not interfere."

"I beg of you! Just one bite of the seasoned chicken!"

Ignoring her superior's desperate screams for chicken, she sent a message to the Head Mod.

As expected of the highly capable, long-titled beautiful girl Head Mod. He understood perfectly without needing a detailed explanation.

Soon, several potions were summoned into the secretary's hands.

“She wants to stay awake?”

If I remembered correctly, fixed nickname ‘RedSecretary’ was a subordinate employee of ‘RedDuke.’

“Wasn’t she the pitiful secretary stuck doing extra work because of a ridiculous boss?”

The Vampire Lord was definitely capable.

But he was also the type to abandon all work and go play around whenever he felt like it.

“Just looking at the Gallery proves it.”

Recently he ran off to the Senate while leaving his work piled up.

So naturally, the delayed work became the subordinates’ responsibility.

That made the secretary’s misery understandable.

Having to sacrifice even sleep for work.

“Friends who got jobs early dealt with insane overtime too.”

So the choice she made was simple.

If she had to work anyway, at least let her stay awake.

“That’s not a difficult request.”

I browsed through the Gallery Shop’s selection of modern humanity’s greatest friends: coffee and caffeine drinks.

-Americano (Can): 1pt

-Espresso: 2pt

-Let’sGo (Can)X2: 1pt

-Dog mascot coffee milk: 1pt

-HotSeven (Can): 1pt

-Gallery Shop Special BoongBoong Drink (Can): 1pt

-Bakus (Bottle): 1pt

-Vitamin Drink (Bottle): 1pt

“I earned plenty of points, and I’ll probably drink these myself later anyway.”

So it didn’t feel wasteful at all.

I boldly unlocked everything.

Then.

“Send.”

I sent 3 of each item, 24 total.

-Head Mod) Got them?

-RedSecretary) Yes! Thank you very much! The whole world feels slower! Is this a potion that slows the flow of time? Truly incredible, Head Mod-nim!

“What?!”

Looks like an unexpected side effect occurred.

And she was enjoying it.

Soon, fixed nickname ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠‘RedSecretary’ uploaded a post.

[Title: Head Mod Is Amazing!]

[Author: RedSecretary]

(Photo collection of drinks received from Head Mod)

I really never write posts normally

But I can’t hold this in anymore

First, let me state the conclusion

Head Mod is either an unbelievably skilled Archmage or Great Witch. That’s my conclusion.

I said I didn’t need chicken or anything, and instead asked for a way to chase away sleepiness so I could process piled-up work

But then what happened? Head Mod said it was possible and gave me these potions

(Doggy coffee milk image)

I only drank this beverage called ‘coffee milk’ with a cute dog lying down on it

And not only did all sleepiness disappear

It even came with magic that accelerates time

My heart beats a little faster and my breathing became rough, but those are minor side effects so I’ll ignore them

Anyway, for someone like me constantly splitting nonexistent time even further to work

Nothing could be more perfect than this

Thanks to it I already finished 3 days worth of workㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What the hell did she drink to become like this?

ㄴ ㄹㅇ terrifying as hell, if you look at her previous posts she always talks super calmly and dryly;;

ㄴ Archmage Head Mod making a modest maiden pant heavilyㄷㄷ

ㄴ Ooooh...

-That thing got even longerㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ ^thatlongone^

-Whatever, does it taste good?

ㄴ Ah fuck this orc bastardㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ Author) Ah, sorry, I only talked about the effects. The taste is more luxurious than any beverage and the aroma is deep too.

ㄴ Really??

ㄴ No seriously what kind of drink is this?

ㄴ Author) There are still many drinks I haven’t tried yet. Head Mod told me not to drink them all at once.

ㄴ Author) I’ll slowly upload reviews of the others too

ㄴ Well yeah, even swamp witches say not to consume more than one elixir or potion per day

ㄴ I once drank an agility potion before and even one bottle was too much for my bodyㄹㅇ...

“I only said that because too much caffeine is bad for your health.”

And just as expected.

After seeing RedSecretary’s review praising the taste and aroma.

The gallery users began flooding the comments with reactions.

-Head Mod, give us this coffee thing too![64]

-I want to drink it too! Aaaagh!!![86]

-These bastards got spoiled rottenㅋㅋㅋ[67]

-Time acceleration potion? And it tastes good? How am I supposed to resist this[55]

People started spamming responses saying.

‘I want to try this time acceleration potion called coffee milk too!’

“That’s not a magic potion!”

Of course, just like always.

-Head Mod) That’s not a magic potion you fucks

ㄴ This bastard Head Mod is lying again

ㄴ If you don’t want to give it away just say soㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ Seems hard to distribute because it’s expensive...

ㄴ ㄹㅇ something like that obviously wouldn’t be cheap. I get it

These bastards absolutely never listened to a word I said.

But then.

-What’s the issue if it’s expensive? Just sell it for money

ㄴ (Athlete demonkin resting chin on hand image)

ㄴ Huh? True?

ㄴ ㄹㅇ we’ll pay so sell it!!!

Someone pointed out the key point.

And the Gallery atmosphere began overheating.
