Chapter Title: Humans Out of Elad!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Elves' Forest, Elad outskirts.
Near a tree towering like a skyscraper, people were busily rummaging through the mossy areas.
“Argh, got one!”
A man in armor cheered triumphantly as he snatched something—it was a green slime.
“Wow.”
“No way, already? Lucky bastard.”
Though slimes were magical beasts, they weren’t all that common.
People eyed the man enviously as he snapped a proof shot, then dove even more eagerly into searching the mossy patches.
Slimes had acid that could melt humans, but that wasn’t much of a threat.
“Starving’s scarier than dying.”
After the Great War, food supplies had plummeted.
Everyone had gone hungry at some point, and those who’d hit rock bottom meant it.
“Bought 10 tuna cans!!!”
“Whoa, insane!”
“Hey man, quote your tuna can price!”
Of course, things were different if you bought from Judak’s market.
But with the whole continent’s population flooding it, snagging items wasn’t easy.
Instead, they clutched bags of plentiful MSG and hunted magical beasts to turn into ingredients.
“Mersen-nim, over here.”
“Hmm...”
Word of these odd humans invading the elves’ forest to hunt slimes eventually reached the ears of Mersen, the most influential elder on the Elf Council.
“How unpleasant. Invading our forest for magical beast cuisine.”
Mersen’s sea-colored eyes scanned the surroundings.
The outskirts of Elad should have been serene and dangerous with beasts, but the scene was... off.
“So, they’re hunting magical beasts in our stead?”
“Yes, especially focusing on slimes in the outer areas.”
“That’s the problem.”
The elves just let it happen.
Why? Elves who’d lived off tree dew and fruits couldn’t cook for shit.
In exchange for letting humans farm, they’d developed a culture of taking a cut of the prepared meals.
Human knights in heavy armor trudging through moss, young elves squatting ahead with perked ears.
“Phew.”
Mersen figured it was the young generation’s fault.
Mersen promptly opened the gallery.
Title: Tell all humans to get out of Elad right now!
Author: CuteElfElder~>[Elf—Ha!☆ Elf Elder here This rubs me the wrong way If you ask what? Everything!
Why the hell is this happening in Elad of all places?
Young elves are part of the problem too - “ - Instead of calling out the intrusion and standing guard, they’re snooping around trying to taste magical beast food This is an insult to the World Tree!
[Post this?]
She was just about to hit confirm.
That’s when Eliana, the elf knight captain who’d accompanied her as guard, returned from somewhere with food.
“...Eliana? What’s that?”
“They offered, so I took a bit. They say it’s noodles made from slime.”
“...”
Mersen narrowed her eyes at Eliana.
Appointing some young elf as knight captain meant stuff like this—coming back with food.
I’ll have to call her aside later and re-educate her.
Might as well ask for Eliana’s gallery nickname while at it.
She always dodged whenever Mersen casually brought it up...
“You have to eat it right after hunting, or it gets soggy and loses half its flavor.”
“...Fine, then.”
This wasn’t about hunger.
It was an elder’s duty to experience the situation firsthand.
Slurp.
Mersen took a bite of the slime noodles.
“Gasp!”
And realized another side to the meals.
Chewy, tender noodles.
Sauce tossed just spicy enough, deepened and perfected with MSG.
Even veggie toppings suited for elves.
“This is noodles?”
“They call it slime jjolmyeon out there, but I’m not sure yet.”
“Hmm...”
Mersen’s eyes narrowed.
Her tongue flicked out slightly, bitten from the strangely sweet, addictive spice, and she shoveled in another big bite.
“Heeeek.”
Spicy-salty-spicy-salty perfection battered Mersen’s mind senseless.
This was violence. Culinary violence.
“How is it? Pretty good, right?”
Mersen snapped back to Eliana’s question.
“Ahem! It’s... fine, but still worrying.”
She scrapped the barbaric thought.
But Mersen still didn’t fully welcome this vibe. Indiscriminate hunting like this had never ended well.
“Kyaaack!”
“!”
And that worry came true.

Anything in excess is too much, as they say.
Global warming was a prime example.
Reckless environmental destruction stacking up slowly and biting back.
This otherworld seemed especially bad.

(Clip of a four-horned magical beast deer)
(Clip of poster fleeing, screen shaking)
Went to Elad for slime cuisine But turns out everyone’s already there farming slimes, right?
So we all gather, farming slimes hard, then boom—mutant beast shows up
ㄴ Lmao it’s just cute, why panic?
ㄴ (Clip showing deer’s leg behind poster’s full body)
ㄴ Holy shit it’s fucking huge
ㄴ Oh shit lololol
ㄴ Shikanoko noko
ㄷㄷ “Whoa, that’s nuts.”
The deer’s innocent eyes belied a size bigger than a two-story house.
Even just the clip was jaw-dropping.
This was no ordinary beast from the sporadic hunting brag posts.
If that crashed a warehouse, defenses or not—it’d be demolished in seconds.
ㄴ Judak☆) Wtf is that thing So I instinctively asked. Gotta know to prep accordingly.
ㄴ Lmao Judak never seen one?
ㄴ That’s...
ㄴ Told ya!
ㄴ Check your mail But straight answers?
That wouldn’t be the gallery.
The rambling bullshit replies might piss anyone off, but I stayed chill.
“Who am I? Gallery admin, Judak.”
ㄴ Judak☆) Step 1.7.185 forward
ㄴ 1.7.185) ?
ㄴ Judak☆) Explain
ㄴ 1.7.185) ??

ㄴ Judak☆) 1
ㄴ 1.7.185)
Mutant beasts refer to leader-class magical beasts that appeared after the Great War.
They were varied and numerous back then, but rare now.
If they reappear, suspect it’s a wave precursor.
ㄴ Holy lmao extreme moving masterclass
ㄴ Whoa buying this lol
ㄴ 1.7.185) Judak you fucker what’d I do
ㄴ Lmaooo cursing after catching breath lol
ㄴ 1st emperor’s smart af

“Wait, wave?”
The ominous word narrowed my eyes.
No need for separate explanation—just search “wave” with title+content in featured posts, endless results.
3 yrs ago)
Fml wave hit Kelton 3 yrs ago)
Wave incoming on Kelton Kingdom, seeking ally races 3 yrs ago)
Kelton Kingdom fucked... 3 yrs ago)
Ofc the wave hits there Kelton Kingdom—name rings a bell.
No need to think hard.
“It’s here.”
The phrase carved right on my warehouse goods meant Kelton Kingdom.
Where I’d possessed was Kelton Kingdom. And it fell long ago.
I’d thought the Great War did it, not a wave.
[Admin Chat Room]
Judak☆: Elf squad PureElf: Why call Judak☆:
Wave dangerous af?
PureElf: Could be, could not Judak☆: ??
PureElf: Compared to Great War’s monster horde, waves just have 1-2 mutant leaders Judak☆: TLDR plz PureElf: Great War]>> Wave >>> Current state
Judak☆: Solid
SoonToDieVamp: Deer meat looks tasty. Drooling.
Got it instantly.
If waves were platoons or companies, Great War was their full assembly.
“So that thing’s dangerous?”
Clips amid brag posts showed the mutant deer rampaging.
And it wasn’t funny—comments vanishing real-time.
- How tf do you kill that?
- It’s fast af but might catch it, wtf now?
- Forming emergency party, lmk if interested
- [Deleted Post]
- Anyone plz potions super urgent
- [Deleted Post]
“Isekai Destruction Gallery has no delete function.”
Means members died, records wiped.
My laid-back mood turned urgent.
No gallers, no gallery.
“And it ain’t someone else’s problem.”
If everyone really dies, next up’s us hiding.
I wouldn’t last seconds.
“Shop sold all sorts of stuff for sure...”
I’d focused on survival food managing the market.
But now? Different story.
For the first time, I scoured weapons, armor, materials—not food.

“What to buy? Or just all?”
Points topped 100k ages ago.
Pondering what’d work on that deer mutant when a new featured post dropped.
Featured Post) On-Site Footage Compilation 3.
(Clip of mutant deer thrashing wildly)
(Clip of galler dazed, not dodging)
(Clip of real-time trampling attack)
ㄴ Ah;
ㄴ Ah fml tag gore
ㄴ Help instead of posting
ㄴ Whoa how’s that galler, heart pierced instant?
“Ah.”
While I pondered, terror-frozen woman got impaled by the deer.
My head cooled sharp.
Right as I went to close the vid.
ㄴ Wtf
ㄴ Update?
ㄴ Huh why’s she alive
ㄴ Human??
ㄴ Humans die from heart pierces no?
The clearly impaled-dead woman stared down the deer, drooling madly with crazed eyes.
