The World's Greatest Pa-ttak Selection (1)
As the one with absolute authority over the Hunter Gallery and its chief administrator, if Ju-ddak was the head manager, then the Pa-ttaks were the sub-managers. Picking amusing people just for the laughs might have been fine, but I needed to be somewhat careful. This was a community where real hunters were active, after all. I couldn't arbitrarily delete useful information posts or reveal actual hunter names or pull any of that garbage behavior.
The conclusion was that the ideal candidate would have plenty of activity time, know the gallery inside and out, and be entertaining on top of that. A strong hunter would obviously be even better.
This was right after I'd declared the world's greatest Pa-ttak Application. The users had split into two distinct groups.
I can't become the guardian of Gangwon Province, but.... I want to become the guardian of the gallery....
That's one hell of a grand dream lolololol
Users who had been inspired by the influence Ju-ddak displayed and were now actively applying for the Pa-ttak position. In a normal community, there wouldn't be a single good thing about the Pa-ttak role, but this time was different. Every single user applying for Pa-ttak was expecting some kind of handout from Ju-ddak.
What the hell is inside the brains of these people applying for Pa-ttak right now? You'd have to be glued to the gallery day and night lol. If you do a bad job you'll get cursed out by the users and ripped apart by Ju-ddak. If you do a good job? Are you just never going to live your actual hunter life? And Ju-ddak isn't some pushover who's just going to hand out B-class weapons to every Pa-ttak, right?
The users who were afraid of the risks that came with the Pa-ttak position and chose to watch from the sidelines while criticizing the applicants. Most of them didn't believe me when I said I was a hero.
Then there was the other type.
Just think of it as getting demoted from Ju-ddak to Pa-ttak lol
People like the tragic former Ju-ddak Kellogg who weren't even being considered. And if someone who was a serious troll applied, I wouldn't even glance at them. I could technically just make them a Pa-ttak, but that seemed too pitiful. I'd have to send them a potion or something later.
And then....
The ones who should be trembling in fear at the mere twitch of my finger have failed to recognize my revival!! All humans, kneel before me this instant and show proper respect!!! Furthermore, for there to exist a throne called Ju-ddak among you human scum is truly pathetic!! The throne was created from the beginning of time for me alone!! Ju-ddak, descend from the throne immediately and assume the posture of submission!! If you do so, after I conquer the human world I shall at least guarantee your safety!!
Demon King, please close the gate. Just leave the Hunter Gallery alone.
Elsa: I want to see my successor. (Quickly)
Elsa: If you pick one, I'll kindly educate them. (Immediate verbal abuse lol)
Ju-ddak: Hold on, thinking.
Elsa: There's a saying that long deliberation leads to a bad move. (So just fucking pick one)
Ju-ddak: Give me back the frost sword.
Elsa: How cowardly. (Sorry)
Elsa: Ju-ddak. I'm curious what food you want for lunch. (How about cold cucumber soup?)
Ju-ddak: I don't eat shit soup.
Elsa: Passed. (Take your time picking)
It wasn't just because of Elsa, but I still needed to pick someone. Was there anyone useful?
Gallery Fixed Nick [D-class Porter] Lee Hyein had succeeded in surviving today as well. By herself, of course. An A-class gate had opened last night, but at that exact time Lee Hyein had been sound asleep. It was a shame it had opened so suddenly. A porter request for an A-class gate would have paid pretty well.
After waking up, she dug through the gallery and carefully read every detail of Ju-ddak's activities. To think he had known an A-class monster would appear and even gifted Elsa a weapon in advance.
Wait a moment! He had done something so incredible that calling him a half-god felt a little lacking. Shouldn't she add a little more meaning? What could it be?
Lee Hyein tried to recall every word related to 'god' that she knew. It was no easy task for her.
Hmm.... Even this clever self of mine is having trouble thinking of one. How about mixing in English, Ju-ddak? The English word for god is GOD? Put together it becomes God-half-god! Oh. It rolls off the tongue nicely. If we shorten it in typical Hunter Gallery style?
Lee Hyein logged into the gallery to spread her new praise terminology.
Ah. Why are there so few talented people in this country.... Someone who spends more than ten hours a day in the gallery, knows the latest information and trends inside and out, listens to me well, drops fire memes every time, and is a strong hunter who can fight well.... Doesn't one exist?.... lololololol
It's seriously a hunter made just for the Pa-ttak position lolololol
Lee Hyein's eyes sparkled. The person who met every single one of those conditions was her, wasn't it? The god-half-god was looking for her!! She could praise Ju-ddak to her heart's content! Just how many birds could she kill with this one stone of becoming a Pa-ttak? The number was too big to count.
Click! Even though she had failed at the contest, this was it. This was the one!
[D-class Porter] Today I succeeded as a Pa-ttak too!!! I meet every single condition that the god-half-god presented!!! I am confident that I can shout "Ju-ddak is a god-half-god!!!" once every day and offer my praise!
Gallery activity exceeding 10 hours? (O)
Knows the latest information and trends inside and out? (O)
Listens to Ju-ddak's words well? (O)
Drops fire memes every time? (O)
Can't fight though?
Huh? The atmosphere seems good? For some reason I have a feeling I'm really going to become a Pa-ttak!
Every time I did anything, the gallery would burn down. Maybe I was becoming addicted to causing chaos? D-class Porter. She really was the perfect talent. I didn't know why she kept calling me an idiot or a fucking idiot, though. Maybe she was still upset about losing the click contest? Anyway, at times like this I had to push forward with conviction. Once a leader makes a decision, everyone is supposed to follow.
If the gallery burns down, I can just go with the mindset of 'What exactly did I do wrong?'
Alright, time to pick the Pa-ttak~~~ Should I do it? No complaints, right? If you have any complaints, apply for a duel. Inside the gallery, of course.
D-class Porter has been appointed as sub-administrator.
— Another successful Pa-ttak today!!!! [3172]
