Chapter Title: Constellation Gallery EP.4
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My vision was plastered with a flood of notifications.
It felt like peering into a top star's phone with SNS alerts turned on.
'What the hell? They weren't even showing interest just a moment ago.'
Is it because of the skill that popped up for me?
Or because I know how to handle the status window?
Why are the contract offers pouring in like this?
As those thoughts crossed my mind, I started checking the notifications one by one, and a familiar pattern emerged.
Next to the messages saying they wanted a contract were the nicknames of the Constellations sending them.
An endless scroll of contract requests, no matter how far I went down.
Were Constellations always this aggressive?
Well, judging by the chatter in the gallery, plenty of them were just spectators.
'But are these really from the Constellations?'
What kind of names are these?
Unable to make sense of them, I checked the one at the top—the Constellation that sent the contract first.
A hundred tongues? Just imagining it is fucking gross.
Still, maybe I should take a look at the contract?
The moment I opened the contract, my brow furrowed.
The very first one was a wall of text that choked me.
Whew... Still, I should check it out.
...Wow.
The more I read, the more it reeks of a scam.
And this is just the intro? Better stop here.
More importantly, is it okay for this guy to casually reveal others' true names and trash them?
Wait, what if it's genuinely trying to help?
Maybe it's warning about landmines, since choosing a Constellation is such a big deal?
I shook my head.
Almost fell for that crap.
Anyway, at some point, the contract alerts stopped.
'What? Is that all the firepower? Or did it lag from too many?'
Eh, whatever.
If more came, I'd die buried in contracts before anything else.
The more I browsed the gallery, the more confused I got.
So is it good or bad?
Better to judge for myself than rely on the hype posts.
"Status window."
Oh right, I can do it in my head. Embarrassing.
Anyway, priority is checking the skill.

[Caution]

"Whoa, insane."
The exclamation slipped out.
This is no joke.
No matter how crazy the situation, your mentality never breaks.
But the caution in red letters nags a bit. Just a tiny bit.
In short, if something beyond my level shows up, the skill is useless.
'Best not to encounter such beings... but still, not a bad start.'
I closed the status window and took a deep breath.
...What does this mean?
'First Hunter' probably refers to me, the First Hunter.
Someone's approaching me? And that Incarnation or believer is going to kill me?
It's confusing, but I'm not really scared.
Not just gallery shitposting.
The vibe of the posts suggests something real is moving.
'Because of the passive?'
Before fear or anxiety could hit, my first thought was, 'So what do I do?'
'...Crazy bastards.'
Dead unless he buys a gun?
What if I do?
I immediately opened the status window and rummaged through the shop tab.
Several items popped up, but the first to catch my eye was.
Trash name at first glance, but the description seemed decent enough.
Simplicity is key.
Next.
Purchased without hesitation.
The moment I got the gun and bullets, the gallery exploded.
