Chapter Title: Pork Belly Falling from the Sky
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“What if pork belly fell from the sky?”
An unproductive, pointless fantasy.
But it was turning into reality.
“Kuuek!”
A wave erupted, and a hideous pig monster charged wildly out of the rift.
“Kuek?”
Then it free-fell straight down.
No different from bungee jumping without a cord.
Of course, if the pig monsters had emerged cautiously from the rift, it might’ve been different.
“Monsters don’t know any better.”
When a wave hits, monsters usually get frenzied and violent.
That’s why they plummet the moment they exit the rift.
Plus, even from a height that might maim a human, monsters didn’t suffer much external damage.
Internal injuries were the main issue.
“Kuuueeek!”
Occasionally, a heavily wounded pig monster would survive, but that wasn’t a problem.
**[Title: Omnipotence feels so damn real lolololol]**
*(GIF of a pig monster thrashing violently after falling)*
*(GIF of approaching with a riot shield and confirming the kill with a pistol)*
Landed a job on the recovery team, and got permission to use Judak’s great magic.
Holy shit, it’s actually insane lolololol
Just flick a finger and a massive monster drops dead instantly—like I’ve become a god fr.
[Recommendations 1921] [Dislikes 201]
- ? What the hell
- Were waves always this easy?
- Feels like watching a giant slaughterhouse ;
- And they get paid for this? Godsend job fr
The folks with the stamina to haul fallen pig monsters.
Plus, they passed gallery log checks to confirm personality fit and prevent malicious gun use.
Only a select few who cleared all that got handed pistols.
They handled live monsters and harvested those pushed to the outskirts.
“Of course, it’s not easy work.”
The grotesque appearance of the pig monsters, the gore splattering everywhere.
And the act of shooting something dead and dragging it back—enough to traumatize any civilian.
But this was a doomed medieval world.
- Ah fuck, that’s sweet
- Why don’t I get gigs like that...
- If you’re gonna bitch, go dump market hamburgers
ㄴ Oh
ㄴ Yeah
ㄴ OP) Heh ;
Blood and guts meant nothing here.
Even PTSD and trauma were luxuries for the rich.
Today’s hunger and cold were far scarier.
Applicants numbered in the thousands, regardless of age or gender.
And it was all performance-based pay.
**[Title: Lol pisses off the daughters-in-law so bad]**
*(GIF of an auntie spitting and cursing)*
*(GIF of an old man trying to snag the OP’s pig monster corpse)*
I’m on monster meat recovery, but
So many fucking people cut in line to grab pig monsters lolol
First couple times, I get it—everyone’s hungry and broke—but goddamn know your limits
How much is the per-head bonus? No conscience?
We’re all doing this to eat and survive, right?
*(GIF of a dude grabbing another by the collar)*
Seriously about to develop a hatred for humanity lol
[Recommendations 4021] [Dislikes 102]
- Disgusting fr
- But daughters-in-law are bitches anyway lol, you excluding yourself?
- Look at that auntie’s eyes roll back lololol
- I kinda get it tho
ㄴ ?
ㄴ Real talk, how often do you get a shot at work like this in life?
ㄴ Still gotta have some morals
ㄴ Gallery pay’s 30 dumplings per head—morals while stacking cash?
Recovery teams hand corpses to harvesters, who extract monster meat and dumplings.
Introduced performance pay, and competition sped things up massively.
They butchered flesh and bone in a trance—gave me chills just watching.
“Like zombies.”
Not sarcasm—it really looked that way.
Cold, constant wars, and starvation had turned people desperate.
But to the gallers, I apparently looked the same.
**[Title: Honestly gave me the creeps a bit]**
*(GIF of monsters falling from the sky)*
*(GIF of efficiently harvesting only meat and dumplings)*
Good that those gross monster shits die without a fight...
But watching this... something’s off
How do people even think like that?
Sometimes I imagine if Judak was on the outsiders’ side instead of humanity’s
Then it’d be us falling from the sky, right?
[Recommendations 694] [Dislikes 3921]
- Fuck off, keep that shit to imagination
- Best part is he’s on our side...
- Lol he always smiles, but he’s scary as fuck for real
- Humanity x Elf o
ㄴ Ugh elf simp
ㄴ Even now you gotta call that out?
- Honestly Judak doesn’t care about the Great War?
ㄴ Fr, win or lose he’s untouched
“That’s not true.”
If humanity loses the Great War, it hits me hard too.
No more point income, and my beloved gallery ends.
Gallerying is my reason for being.
But to gallers, I must look like I conjure something from nothing.
[40 Dumplings delivered!]
[38 Dumplings delivered!]
[31 Dumplings delivered!]
.
.
Meanwhile, the mob tower’s performance kept proving itself.
Pig monsters weren’t the best for dumpling supply.
But infinite corpse farming from the mob tower outweighed that.
Average 100 dumplings per pig monster.
I took 30% as fee.
“Am I taking too much?”
I worried once.
Even if I built the mob tower, high fees could breed resentment.
Plenty of reason for complaints.
But surprisingly, no one skimped on fees or complained.
**[Title: Lol happily skimming my fee]**
OP: Ghost of Liberal Arts
*(GIF of a cat staring straight ahead)*
You guys skim too lol sweet deal
[Recommendations 0] [Dislikes 53]
- Retard?
- Lol wanna get gallery perma-banned?
- Not ashamed skimping Judak who only takes 30%?
- All you do is harvest monster meat and 30% feels steep?
- OP) Thanks for answers tbh I’m not a worker, just curious why no one skims
ㄴ ?
ㄴ Lmao
ㄴ Crazy genius
“Ah, that’s why they don’t skim.”
Gallery ban scared them more than the fee.
Plus, 30% wasn’t that high apparently.
“Just a bit more and I break even.”
Just a day after firing up the mob tower, I was nearly there.
Rift was huge too, plenty more waves coming.
Proved mob towers were solid dumpling farms.
“Can run it like a factory every big rift.”
Bonus: relief and jobs for the area.
**[Notice: Rift reports welcome]**
OP: Judak*
It’s me ㅇㅇ
Report any similar or bigger rifts to me from now on
Any race, terrain—mob tower jackpot
[Recommendations 9999+] [Dislikes 0]
- Does this work?
ㄴ *(Rift in the corner of a bathroom GIF)*
ㄴ You think? Idiot?
- Wow so bigger rifts = bigger jackpots now?
ㄴ Fr lol basically market gacha success tier
ㄴ Fuck please big rift my house even if it flies away...
- Yo bros we got one at our mine
ㄴ Judak*) Ok pic pls
Rifts, once headaches, were now seen like lottery wins or housing lotteries.
“Of course, issues will pop up.”
Like sandworms biting from inside, or corpses piling too fast.
But not a worry yet.
Checking rift reports, one question hit me.
“Why are the elves so quiet?”
Elrad had tons of rift issues last I knew.
Weirdly, no elf rift reports.
Checked latest posts—Elf posts barely regenerating.
Searched elf, Elrad, elf simp, pointy-ears—post volume way down.
“Didn’t I fix their mana issue before?”
Gold dragon and squishy trade sorted that, I thought.
Maybe they just gallery less.
But elves?
- Cute elf pics [3]
- Why Elrad’s the best land...jpg [5]
- Universal elves rule the world! [1]
Race that spammed Elrad/elf brags whenever free?
Elves dominated gallery GIFs.
“Weird.”
Felt off.
Not like an incident broke—instead, like they hid something.
Elves call me first in crises.
Luckily, I had a slave elf—no, my padak elf.
Judak*: Yo
PureElf: Why call?
Judak*: What’re elves up to? Gallerying down, no chats?
Judak*: Feels like hiding something ㅇㅇ
PureElf: Uh
“Uh? Busted.”
Something’s up.
PureElf not involved, just surface knowledge.
PureElf: Don’t know much
PureElf: Just that they’re doing something behind Judak’s back
Judak*: Behind my back?
Judak*: Illegal shit?
Murder or war plotting? Big problems.
PureElf: Not that
PureElf: Will investigate and report back
Judak*: Ok go for it
Good thing PureElf hated Elrad elders.
Favored gallery and me more—trustworthy.
About a day later.
PureElf: Found out but that’s it
Judak*: ?
PureElf: Eating something secretly behind Judak’s back
Judak*: Huh?
Just food?
They cut gallerying, hushed up, ate in secret to hide from me?
Couldn’t even guess.
Judak*: Pics?
PureElf: Of course
PureElf: *(Elves gathered at table in dark building, white cloth over heads GIF)*
PureElf: *(Hiding it heavily, eating cautiously GIF)*
Elves with white cloths over faces, eating something in a shady spot.
Straight out of a horror flick meal scene.
“...Ortolan?”
Top-tier delicacy, world’s best dish.
But prep so cruel, eaten hiding from God.
Ortolan popped in my head first.
But why hide from me?
