Chapter 8 - Regarding the Case of Becoming the Gallery's Public Doll.
Regarding the Case of Becoming the Gallery's Public Doll.

[Curse (??? Grade): The Unhideable Remnant.]
[You are no longer an observer. Every single action you hid will be revealed to the believers, and you will lose your faith.]
[Your actions and eccentricities are recorded and will appear as a Season NPC.]
[The power of your existence has vanished. Be judged by the mortals you always ignored. If you dislike that, navigate the world with the power of the mortals you ignored.]
[Status and power of faith are extinguished.]
[Those who meet your NPC inevitably have a significantly increased probability of chasing your main body.]
[Those who kill your NPC inevitably have a significantly increased probability of finding your main body.]
[If you want to live, grovel to the mortals.]
[Upon encountering a pursuer, the NPC's memories are transferred.]
Well, damn.
I thought it was the easiest curse.
It seemed like there wouldn't be any immediate harm.
Because the impact of the Reversal and Humiliation curses was so great, it relatively didn't catch my eye.
In the first place, you should tell me when and how the NPC appears for me to do something.
Truly a back-stabbing curse.
I only climbed 1 floor, but to think that appearance would be recorded intact and revealed.
Look at this.
Bait is already being thrown in the gallery.
[Nightmare Floor 5 Girl NPC is kinda strange.][Poster: 2EE]
(Video of foreign hunter reaching out to the fallen me.)
As you can see, unlike normal NPCs, the clothes that girl is wearing are modern clothes.
An NPC walking around wearing a hoodie and mask?
Isn't it strange?
Have you ever seen an NPC with modern fashion?
This is a very important clue.
We might be able to find out the origin of the Tower NPCs. Hope someone can take a picture of that girl with her face revealed, even if by force, and upload it.
OO: Crazy lol hearing that it's fr? Gyanabaruru: Eh? Goosebumps shivering. OO: Hul, is it a Hunter pretending to be an NPC?
2EE: That's not it. Several Hunters already met that NPC with the exact same appearance. It's certain she's an NPC, but the question is why those clothes. 2EE: Furthermore, there haven't been any cases of encountering other Hunter parties during the climb yet. OO: It's real. Are those clothes super familiar or what lol RyoriJoa: Going to build affinity right away, gg.
This is crazy.
Please stop digging.
Receiving attention felt good, but I didn't want this kind of attention.
And 2EE….
This guy has been bothering me since before.
Why is he so quick-witted.
Furthermore, if he craps out a post like this, it's certain the gallery will burn up.
As expected.
Posts are refreshing in real-time.
About 1/3 are stories about me.
The difficulty of life is gradually increasing.
Among them, I clicked on a conspicuous post. Because grasping the situation is important to establish countermeasures.
[Found out the Nightmare Floor 5 Girl's clothes brand lululul][Poster: TSCosplayArtisan]
That is a hoodie you can always buy at XX released as a cost-effective brand.
(Photo with brand mall logo embedded.jpg)
Selling price is in the 40,000 won range.
Know it to be a domestic product.
There's fr something to this right?
Can: Theory that NPC is Korean lol OO: Wow lol seriously what is this. 2EE: Thx for info. For now will investigate all clothes purchase history and age.
OO: ?? Is that possible?
“Groaaan…….”
A moan pulled up from the dantian.
Scratching my neck slightly, I clenched my fist.
Just why are they sincere about something like this. Everyone is more persistent than I thought.
Feels like flesh trembling.
Feeling of being dug into thoroughly.
Such obsession feels quite bad.
To the extent that I feel an impulse to bang my head on the desk right now.
But by a stroke of luck, the clothes I wore back then were not clothes I purchased and wore.
I stole them from a used clothing collection bin with my Inventory skill.
If you go to a rich neighborhood, there are many cases where they throw out new clothes they haven't worn much. Because the size doesn't fit or returning is annoying.
Usually, giving it to an acquaintance is common, but probably there was no suitable person or even that was annoying.
I effectively snatched those.
That's how I got the hoodie clothes.
No matter how much you guys search, it won't come out.
And now that I know the problem, it's time to set up countermeasures.
Tap tap tap!
I searched for clothes on a mobile shopping mall app.
Korean clothes are a no-go.
Modern fashion is a no-go too.
Buy foreign clothes if possible, but they must be clothes with an old-fashioned feel.
But if I do this… isn't it cosplay?
How did I end up like this.
Ah, a sense of shame rushes in.
To think I can't even dress as I please.
But I can't refuse saying I dislike it either.
If I go wearing a hoodie again when climbing Floor 2, the risk of identity exposure will increase.
In other words, I have to wear diverse clothes semi-forcibly.
By the way… Ninja suit?
This looks better since it covers the whole body. Save for now.
Tap, tap.
I searched for and saved clothes for a while.
When I realized, about 20 products were in the shopping cart.
Originally, I'm not the style to pick clothes diligently, but to live, one needs to like even things they dislike.
That is the logic of the world.
How can one only do what they like.
Like that, I calculated everything meticulously, from size and material to whether it's suitable for combat.
As expected, the ninja suit looks the best.
Thus, the total price that came out.
Including discounts - 1,273,460 won.
“Ugh. Guuuugh!!…….”
Tremble.
Why are clothes so damn expensive.
Is it because they are all unique clothes? Even though I picked the cheapest possible ones, the price is formidable.
It was only a few days ago that I was happy about earning 3 million won in a day, but that money is about to disappear entirely.
Damn it, damn it.
This wasn't money to be used in a place like this.
My blood-like money.
Ha, I didn't want to do this, but no choice.
[20 times possible?]
[……Possible depending on trade scale.]
[Will contact later.]
Let's contact the broker again.
Originally I planned to sell safely to another broker, but there is no pride before money.
Let's earn big this time and cut contact.
Right, then it should be fine.
Though that's a story for when I come back alive and well from Floor 2, it will work out somehow.
I'm quite serious right now.
Let's not focus too much on life.
That was my motto.
I really have no retreat now.
I must prepare thoroughly from now on.
First, I need to throw a shield into the gallery that is burning up with talk about me.
I prefer watching rather than writing posts but… if necessary, one must do anything.
[I gave the kid those clothes.]
After agonizing diligently, I uploaded the post.
The biggest reason the gallery is burning up is that the NPC's clothes are modern. In other words, the question of whether a modern person became an NPC.
This post is a shield to silence that.
Soon, several comments were posted.
Information disruption operation start.
[I gave the kid those clothes.][Poster: OO]
It wasn't Nightmare Floor 5 but Hard Difficulty, I met that kid in a gimmick I discovered by chance.
The clothes were a bit torn then so I gave my niece's clothes as a present but why is she wearing that there lol
OO: Isn't it a lie?
OO (Poster): Then don't believe it. HealMageTanker: Is it fr? How did you approach? Looking at the Floor 5 video she just runs away and disappears. OO (Poster): Even if you know it's probably useless? I met her in the previous season. 2EE: ?? How did you suddenly take out niece's clothes inside the Tower and give them? OO (Poster): It's Inventory ability. I gave that mask too. 2EE: Aha. Then she might be one of the main NPCs of this season. For now I'll note it thx. OO: You. How did you approach the kid? Think she'd be cute so I want to try taming her, seeing the video she just runs away. OO (Poster): Crazy bastard. Don't live like that. OO: ??? Did I say something I can't say?
Who tames whom?
Why are you trying to do that kind of bullshit.
There truly are many strange people.
Waiting a little with a frowning face, recommendations were stamped on the post and it went up to Recommended Posts.
Fortunately, they seem to believe it.
Well, it would have more credibility than the assumption that a modern person became an NPC.
A little relieved with this.
The number of people associating me with reality will decrease a little.
But the important thing is next.
Surely if I climb Floor 2, my appearance will appear as an NPC again and encounter people.
What clothes would be good to wear at this time.
Would a ninja suit be good after all.
“Huh?”
At that time, I discovered a post I absolutely couldn't pass by while browsing the gallery.
This seems a bit wrong.
[I'm going to give clothes to the NPC girl this time.][Poster: RyoriJoa]
(Little princess skirt dress with frills.jpg)
If I dress her in this, think it'll be freaking cute.
Face didn't come out well, but my intuition is speaking. That is SSS-Grade beauty cuteness.
Especially the appearance full of wariness is my type.
Really want to dress her by hand, then slurp slurp the cheeks.
Going to challenge Nightmare tomorrow immediately lol Get ready.
SteamedBunPecker: Oh? Decent? I should take one of my niece's clothes too lol OO: I prepared a Randoseru.
OO: Crazy bastard lol WhipSword: No, is this a child dress-up game lol OO: At this point I'm curious whose clothes she'll come wearing shivering OO: Wouldn't she wear the one of the person with good affinity? RyoriJoa: Ok gotta give her plenty of Mister's love. Shall I start with 'Secret Friend' first. RyoriJoa: (Come here! Con) OO: Please stop breathing….
Tremble tremble.
S-Scary.
Not in their right minds.
Just why is it becoming like this.
This isn't something like Princess Maker.
This is not a post that even I can watch with a sober mind. Surely the me inside the Tower won't inadvertently accept those clothes, right?
Please, you can't do that.
You can't.
Jump.
I stood up from the seat.
Let's stop watching.
This isn't efficient.
If I keep watching posts like this, it's obvious I'll get neurosis and won't even be able to climb.
Since it's come to this, I have no choice but to find a way to live somehow.
Preparing. Anything.
