Chapter Title: Dungeon Bombardment and Job Frenzy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, this wasn't the first time a dungeon had appeared.
It was just that the large and small nations where dungeons manifested had perished without even noticing.
A dungeon meant the end of civilization.
"Kieek!"
That was the moment the dungeon began spewing monsters onto the surface!
"Kieek?"
The ghoul tilted its head.
Nothing was visible.
The only things greeting the ghoul were black smoke and the stench of already-crossed-and-burned ghoul flesh.
The ghoul blankly looked up at the sky in that moment.
- Newbie? Welcome lol
- Guess it has to die then?
- Wtf lol my guts are all cleared out!
Something was flying in from the distance.
Faster than a dragon and more ominous.
The moment it realized that thing was growing larger.
"Kieeek!"
-Boom!
The third bunker buster collided with the dungeon.

- Is that... grand magic?
- Nah, it's just turning it into hell
- Wow, that's fucking cool lololol What does it feel like to cast magic like that?
- But ignoring the hype, does that even make sense?
- So illegal mages can pull off shit like that at their peak?
ㄴ Lmao mage potential is insane
ㄴ Nah, that's demonic
ㄴ I'm a grand mage and I can't do that
ㄴ Grand mages don't talk like that
The dungeon crisis was resolved successfully.
Though it did burn some forest and blow away a chunk of land.
"Better than total annihilation."
Of course, there were casualties.
[Title: What the fuck, give it back]
This is your arm.

What am I supposed to eat and live on now? lol

- Wtf, what happened?
ㄴ OP) lol ; Went to the site to make some money and got it chopped off
ㄴ Damn, that's so pitiful...
- Judak* (Sent recovery potion!)
ㄴ OP) ? What's this?
ㄴ Judak* Just reattach it and farm the gallery twice as hard
ㄴ OP) Whoa, no way, fuck I love you so much
Recovery potions were provided to the injured.
It was a major achievement from Witch Morone's research.
She worked tirelessly, showing me results multiple times a month.
[A good deed has been performed!]
[Some points have been refunded.]
"Is the system a god?"
On top of that, there was the benevolence system.
I had nothing to lose.
Next, to prevent the flames from spreading through the forest, I hired laborers to clear vehicles in advance.
And dropped massive water bombs via the delivery system.

Water mage here, succeeded at Judak's job posting lol

- Damn that's so jealous fml ;
- Idiot, you think that pays big? It all comes back to health in the end
ㄴ Fr, is mana handed down from ancestors?
ㄴ OP) (Pic of mana stone from Judak)
ㄴ OP) lol jealous?
ㄴ Holy shit fml
[Title: What if food suddenly falls from the sky?]
(A gif of a hamburger falling)
(A gif of a confused laborer during arson work)
Why is this real?
Weird-looking bread with meat, veggies, etc. mixed inside.
Came with cola and what seems like fried potatoes, etc.
There was a note inside that said:
[Lunch break 11:30 ~ 13:00 / Rest up yeah]
Is it okay to plant a kiss on Judak's cheek for this?
[Upvotes 1042] [Downvotes 0]
- Did you buy it?
ㄴ They'll obviously deduct from hourly wage lolol
ㄴ OP) Nah, they just gave it ;
ㄴ ?
- Lunch break ← What's that?
ㄴ OP) Time to eat, don't work. Pays hourly too
ㄴ ?
ㄴ ??? Don't bullshit me, no way that's possible
Meals were provided, naturally.
"The minimum wage feels a bit off, huh?"
I bumped up the hourly rate a bit.
This was basically no different from army firebreak construction.
Yet the gallery applicants filled up in an instant.
- Hourly lolol 20 kyeongdan lololol
- At this rate, aren't they suckers?
ㄴ Doesn't even scratch Judak's wealth?
"No, that's about right?"
It's grueling work that wouldn't get a single applicant even on a job site.
But here, applicants were overflowing, which felt weird.
And taking it one step further, I even spotted some bizarre concept posts.

- If I learn this, can I get a gallery job too?
ㄴ OP) Can't guarantee a full job, but part-time is guaranteed!
- lol so did you land one?
ㄴ OP) 5 part-time gigs, 1 month chem cleanup part-time exp, first to register spec app exp
ㄴ Oh?
ㄴ Maybe I should try
ㄴ Don't. Gallery jobs are harder than knighting
"What the hell is this?"
A bizarre concept post had gone up.
*
Gallery Academy.
I looked into it, wondering what insane nonsense this academy was, and it turned out to be a job prep academy.
The goal: landing a job in the gallery.
No discrimination on full-time, short-term, long-term.
Just get hired, that's it.
Judak*: You the head of this Gallery Academy?
Judak*: Respond
So I summoned the poster.
Gallery Academy? Who the hell gave permission for that?
Not even 10 seconds after my DM, a frantic reply came.
Galssam: Aigo... Teacher, that's not...
Judak*: Don't make weird excuses, just spit it out clean ㅇㅋ?
I'd warned them in advance.
If this Galssam handle spouted crap like "for the demand" or "for everyone's wishes,"
I planned to immediately nominate them for the 40234th handle ban.
So I'd said that upfront.
Galssam: How dare I be so presumptuous in front of Lord Judak...
Judak*: Warning 1
Galssam: ㅇㅇ Just wanted to make some money selling experience in this shit world, so I started it
Galssam: Nothing as popular as gallery jobs right now? So I invested in the hype
Luckily, they had some sense.
The moment I warned, Galssam spilled the truth like a likable handle.
"No way, they actually opened a real academy? Not just some common bait?"
Honestly, I couldn't believe it.
A Gallery Academy? Who would even...
But Galssam was dead serious.
No, the entire gallery, starting with Galssam, was serious.
Galssam: (Pic of Gallery Academy 2F, Keller Street)
Galssam: (Pic overflowing with students)
Galssam: Super popular fr. Seats full already, even waitlist.
Judak*: Why tho?
A world where everyone is desperately trying to land gallery jobs.
Wouldn't that be true hell?
I thought it was just a meme.
But Galssam shot back as if I was the one who didn't get it.
Galssam: Lord Judak, how could you not know?
Galssam: Jobs aren't easy to find these days
Galssam: People who can't make 30 kyeongdan a day are a dime a dozen
Galssam: But don't you pay over 100 kyeongdan daily, provide market meals, and supply gear?
Then they cited my minimum wage as an example.
And brought up meal provisions and equipment as examples...
"No, isn't that obvious?"
The jobs I offered weren't easy.
They required heavy labor, and without gear, it'd wreck your health.
Plenty involved forest work, so meals were a given.
Since when did this become everyone's dream job?
"I can't believe it."
I needed to verify if this was real.
I was about to open a gallery poll when another idea hit me.
"I'll just post a job myself."
The gallery and reality differ somewhat.
To check if it's true, hire some investigators in reality.
[Job/Seeking: It's me ㅇㅇ]
Poster: Judak*
Looking for part-timers, any gallery handles wanna apply?
Field: Classified

- Holy shit job posting dropped
- But tasks classified?
ㄴ So you not applying?
ㄴ (No time to hesitate!!! Human con)
"This should tell me."
I deliberately left the job and field completely classified.
Only minimum wage and meals were public.
[Unlock application limit?]
[Application limit 0/100 → Unlimited]
If Galssam was right, applications should flood in.
But as I posted, I shook my head.
"Who'd apply to this?"
In the modern world, it'd be report-worthy.
I posted with limits off just to prove Galssam wrong...
[Resumes received so far: 9999+]
- I'll do anything you ask like a dog
- If you tell me to lick feet, I'll lick feet, that's how hard I'll work
- If you hire me, I'll devote my soul...
"Wat?"
Applications exploded in instantly.
