The Stalker of the Cheerful Demon Gallery
I wanted to comfortably browse the Gallery for the first time in a while.
So I logged in through my main account, which I hadn’t accessed for some time.
But then.
“Jukkiyaaaaaak!!!”
I hadn’t even left it inactive for that long.
Yet somehow during that short time, a stalker had latched onto my main account.
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Where are you?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) I’m worried, why haven’t you logged in?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) If you’re alive, please reply...
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Seriously, isn’t this too much?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) If something’s wrong, I’ll help you
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Contact me, okay?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) I’m waiting
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Congratulations, you’ve won the event
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Reply to me
“No, so who even are you?”
But I had no idea who they were.
Why would a stalker attach themselves to an introverted loser shut-in Gallery addict like me?
After thinking carefully.
“Ah.”
I realized the reason quickly enough.
“I was a beloved fixed nickname user, huh.”
Fixed nickname ‘KillAllPurebloodDemons.’
Also known as PureDemonDeath.
This guy consistently ranked within the top 10 most-liked fixed nicknames on Singma Gallery.
Unfiltered profanity.
A dissatisfied rebel constantly criticizing the unfair social atmosphere rampant throughout the Demon Realm.
A guy who spoke his mind no matter who the target was, from commoners to nobles.
That was me.
So naturally, I had enemies.
“Haaah.”
Nothing ever works out.
At this rate, even using my main account feels difficult.
“If I write posts or even leave comments on this account···.”
It was obvious the fixed nickname ‘OnlyLookingAtYou,’ who had practically rented out my notification tab, would become a nuisance.
I had no idea what they wanted.
If they’d just cursed me out, I would’ve assumed they held a grudge against me.
But there was nothing like that at all.
Instead they kept saying they missed me.
Asking if I had forgotten them.
Wondering when I’d come back.
Honestly, that was even creepier.
“It’s not like I was e-dating anyone. All I did on the Gallery was curse, curse, and curse more.”
Someone obsessively liking me after seeing that.
Wouldn’t that be even more dangerous than someone holding a grudge against me?
“Should I make an alt account?”
While I was 고민ing that.
A new comment notification appeared.
-OnlyLookingAtYou) You logged in, didn’t you?
“What, how did they know?”
-OnlyLookingAtYou) I noticed that the view count on a post from 2 years ago where I left a comment increased by 1
-OnlyLookingAtYou) You saw my comment, right? Right?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Why won’t you reply to me?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) ...Did I do something wrong?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Please tell me. If I did something wrong, I’ll fix it, okay?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Please, I’m begging you...
“Holy shit. This is terrifying.”
One comment notification I accidentally clicked.
And they figured out the post’s view count increased by exactly 1 because of it.
Within only a few short minutes.
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Were you captured somewhere?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Is that why you can’t write comments?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Tell me your location, I can help you
-OnlyLookingAtYou) No, wait. If you’re tied up, you can’t tell me your location, right? Sorry, I was stupid
-OnlyLookingAtYou) I’ll figure out a way for you to tell me where you are
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Let’s start with directions. We’ll use the royal capital Kronendyke as the center. If you’re north, refresh the page once to raise the view count by 1, okay?
-OnlyLookingAtYou) If south then 2, east then 3, west then 4 got it?
It was chilling enough to completely erase midsummer heat even without air conditioning.
“I need to make an alt account.”
My memories with the main account?
The famous fixed nickname PureDemonDeath?
None of that mattered right now.
If I risked my life over something that trivial.
“This could actually become real.”
I hurriedly logged out.
Then was about to move to the account creation page when.
“No, wait.”
I paused to think.
If this person was this meticulous.
Then they might notice that I suddenly started browsing the Gallery comfortably using a freshly created account.
“Then making a new account would be pointless.”
So instead.
“It’d be better to put on a much flashier show and convince everyone PureDemonDeath is completely finished.”
Then.
There was exactly one thing I could do.
“Shall we begin PureDemonDeath’s final troll performance?”

Do you think you’re something special just because the gallery users worship you?
You’re obviously still just another disgusting discriminatory high-ranking demonㅇㅇ
This seems like it’s near Head Mod’s house
Once I find it I’ll fuck you senseless and upload proof pics

-At this point isn’t this just suicide?
ㄴ He’s obviously begging to get bannedㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ At this point shouldn’t it be “natural death?” <<< that’s how you say it, gallery user
ㄴ Ah right, got mixed upㅎㅎ;
-Does this guy not know Head Mod protected the demon cockroaches?
ㄴ Ahem, what do you mean demon cockroaches
ㄴ (Glare- witch emote)
ㄴ Ah sry
-Welp, won’t see him offㅋㅋ
-Another one bites the dust
-The seductive female who even made a famous fixed nickname troll, the Great Head Mod
ㄴ Oh...
ㄴ DemonGalleryComicArtist) Oh...
ㄴ Kya~ looks like we’re getting fresh fanart around evening goodㅋㅋㅋㅋ
First, I went near the house and took mountain photos.
Making the composition as similar as possible to the ones Yurik uploaded before.
The gallery users all expected the fixed nickname PureDemonDeath to get banned.
The stage was basically set.
But then.
-OnlyLookingAtYou) Why are you acting like this???
ㄴ OnlyLookingAtYou) You weren’t this kind of person before
ㄴ OnlyLookingAtYou) Did Head Mod kidnap you by any chance?
ㄴ ?
ㄴ What the hell is this guy talking about?
ㄴ But it is weird. Famous foul-mouthed PureDemonDeath never acted like this before
ㄴ Gallery famous user suddenly snapping? This is suspicious
ㄴ ㄹㅇ considering his normal behavior, he should be a Head Mod simp if anything
“No.”
Because the stalker raised doubts.
The gallery users started agreeing with this third theory.
“Can’t be helped.”
Let’s wrap this up quickly.
-Head Mod) What is this now...
ㄴ Head Mod) Can’t tolerate the same troll act 3 times in a rowㅇㅇ
ㄴ Head Mod) (The Gallery Manager has banned ‘KillAllPurebloodDemons’ for ‘9999 days’)
ㄴ ㄷㄷ?
ㄴ Didn’t they say the default was 7 days? Isn’t this basically a permanent ban?
The gallery users’ reactions were divided.
-DaniaScammer) Isn’t 9999 days too harsh?
ㄴ BackInMyDay) ㄹㅇ feels kinda impulsive
ㄴ The poster wasn’t innocent either, but Head Mod seems a bit excessive this time;
Some people said I gave an overly harsh punishment.
While others defended me, saying it was justified.
-But isn’t this Head Mod’s discretion anyway?
ㄴ They only said bans are usually 7 days, they never said longer bans were impossibleㅇㅇ
ㄴ No matter what, that guy was still in the wrong
-People saying “too harsh” just because it’s not happening to themㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ ㄹㅇ if someone exposed their home address they’d lose their minds tooㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Three people already tried finding his address, this is deserved
ㄴ Head Mod ending it with just a Gallery ban proves she’s magnanimousㅇㅇ
Thankfully, the latter group overwhelmingly outnumbered the former.
“I’ll make the alt account in a few days.”
Once the drama quiets down.
And once the weird menhera stalker ‘OnlyLookingAtYou’ becomes less active.
Then I’d make an alt account.
“For now I’ll just lurk.”
Thinking that, I swayed gently in the hammock.
Then.
-AncientDemonGod) Head Mod, what have you done this time느뇨?
-Head Mod) ??
The assistant mod sent me a worried message.
And inside the attached link.
Was a post uploaded just moments ago.
[Title: Head Mod I’ll Kill You]
[Author: OnlyLookingAtYou]
(Image capture of PureDemonDeath being banned for 9999 days)
Just because you’re Head Mod means you can do anything?
I sympathized with you because you were supposedly a succubus isolated from mainstream society for being mixed-blood
Because I too am a distant-outcast succubus like that
I thought you were a good person with a kind heart who protected the weak
So how can you be so cruel toward a gallery user who confidently revealed themselves as half-human half-demon?
Huh?
Why did it have to be him?
Why are you only so cold toward PureDemonDeath?
Why did you give only him such a harsh punishment?
Why?
I won’t forgive you...
Iwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyouIwon’tforgiveyou

-Whoa that’s creepy;
-Hey Head Mod are you seeing this? You got caught by another crazy one
ㄴ Author) Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?Crazyone?
ㄴ I’m sorry sir, I spoke carelessly. Please forgive me...
ㄴ Dumbassㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ You were the one who got caughtㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-AncientDemonGod) First, would you calm down a little?
ㄴ AncientDemonGod) I shall speak to Head Mod properly, so please calm your excitement a bit느뇨
ㄴ Author) Shut up! You’re in cahoots with Head Mod too, you dumb roleplay bitch!
ㄴ AncientDemonGod) ...What did you just say느뇨?
ㄴ Assistant mod can’t recover after one heavy fact bombㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Kyaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Facts truly belong to trollsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“No, what did I even do to deserve this.”
I’m the victim here.
Of course, my innocence would only be proven if I publicly confessed on the Gallery that “Head Mod brought out his main account to secretly browse with multiple accounts!”
Uh···but doesn’t that already sound guilty?
Still, I had no intention of stopping here obediently.
“If I stop halfway here, this whole thing becomes meaningless.”
PureDemonDeath had already been effectively executed through the 9999-day ban.
So.
“This drama ends here.”
[Would you like to delete this post?]
“Yes.”
I deleted the post by fixed nickname ‘OnlyLookingAtYou,’ which had been heavily fueling the fire.
And monitored things for a while afterward.
Since giving a ban too felt excessive.
If they uploaded another objection post.
I planned to simply delete that post too.
But.
“Hmm, no new posts?”
Did they give up cleanly before Head Mod’s authority?
Afterward, fixed nickname ‘OnlyLookingAtYou’ wrote neither posts nor comments.
“Problem solved!”
At the time, I truly believed things had been resolved perfectly.
How incredibly foolish of me.
*
Northwest of Kronendyke.
Luceren, city of succubi, forever shrouded in darkness year-round.
At the Succubus Queen’s castle in its center.
Among dozens of beautifully colored towers.
A grinding sound echoed from the middle of the tallest tower.
“···She deleted it?”
Fixed nickname ‘OnlyLookingAtYou’ couldn’t accept for quite some time that the post containing her desperate feelings had vanished in an instant.
Her long light-purple hair swayed upward.
Because rage caused her mana to surge violently.
Heating the surrounding air rapidly.
“···Why?”
What had she done wrong to deserve such cruelty?
Wasn’t Head Mod someone kind to everyone?
“Is it because I’m a half-baked succubus?”
She was the beloved youngest daughter cherished by the Succubus Queen.
But unlike normal succubi with blonde or black hair, she possessed unusual light-purple hair.
And among succubi, where moderately large breasts were considered ideal, only she possessed absurdly enormous breasts that seemed ready to burst.
So ever since childhood, she had grown up hearing others say, “She’s weird.”
As those long-standing complexes resurfaced.
Fixed nickname ‘OnlyLookingAtYou’ descended into frenzy.
“I’ll find him no matter what.”
The PureDemonDeath she knew wasn’t this kind of person.
Clearly that scheming succubus Head Mod had lured PureDemonDeath in, manipulated him, seized his account, and planned to eliminate him after leaving traces behind on the Gallery.
“Please be safe.”
The succubus girl threw herself out the window.
After falling at terrifying speed.
She soon sliced through the sky toward the northeastern Demon Realm region believed to contain Head Mod’s residence.
With only one objective.
Kill Head Mod.
And save her first love, PureDemonDeath.
That was all.
Meanwhile, at that same moment.
“Pfuetchi!”
[Head Mod, even if it’s summer, you should still use at least a thin blanket. Didn’t you buy that microfiber blanket thing last time?]
“No, my nose just itched. I’m not catching a cold.”
[That’s exactly how people catch colds.]
“You’re not even my mom. You’re way too overprotective.”
Completely unaware.
Head Mod dangled from the hammock.
Half-listening to the Admin’s nagging while focusing on browsing the Gallery.
“Eheheh. The succubus ladies uploaded today’s daily supply of good pics too.”
Then naturally pressed the save-original button.
But then.
[!!!]
[Head Mod! Did you turn on the Gallery Barrier?]
“Huh? Wait, let me check···it’s not on?”
Apparently it deactivated when I logged out to access my main account.
“Looks like I need to reactivate it after logging into the Head Mod account. Hold on···.”
[Hurry!]
[···Ah.]
[Too late. Wait a moment, Head Mod. I’ll somehow find a way to help you.]
“Why are you saying something so ominous?”
-KWAANG!!!
“What?!”
The front door flew off its hinges like an FBI OPEN UP meme and slammed into the wall.
Then some beautiful girl strode inside.
“···Head Mod.”
“???”
Our house has barriers better than the imperial palace though?
“Y-you, who are you?! How did you get in here!”
“You’re···Head Mod?”
The girl with striking light-purple hair tilted her head for a moment.
Then.
“I’m pretty sure they said you were a succubus···well, whatever. Die obediently!”
“What?”
The beauty with eyes dyed red instantly lunged at me.
“Jukkiyaaaaaak!!!”
