Chapter Title: Monsters Drowned in the Storm
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rain fell on a barren, desert-like region.
Beautiful plants that had been lying in wait...
-Kieee/eeee/ek!
“Eww, disgusting.”
Nothing like that happened.
After two months of brutal drought, most ordinary crops had long since headed to the afterlife.
What bloomed from the ground were the monsters that had been hiding since the terraforming.
Plant-type monsters resembling Nepenthes wriggled their tentacles as they burst out.
- Eww fuck
- What a beautiful face lol
- Watching them drown is so heartwarming!
To the gallery, monsters were loathsome enemies and mortal foes.
The gallery achieved rare racial unity watching the monsters flail and drown.
They were busy snapping pics of the dying plant monsters while exchanging warm blessings.
The ones happiest of all were naturally the Edelrin locals.

No fucking way
These things were hiding everywhere?
If not for Lord Judak, we'd all be dead fr
So creepy af ㄹㅇ;

- Damn, Edelrin folks are so lucky fr
- You gotta buy burgers for the gallery
ㄴ Huh? Sure
ㄴ Sure
- Be fucking grateful to Judak ㅇㅇ
ㄴ OP) Tossed out the folk religion crap and put up a cute Judak statue ㅇㅇ
ㄴ Uh, that's...
ㄴ Judak*) ?
ㄴ OP) Almost said that lol;
“Almost saying that is unavoidable.”
Monsters had already spread throughout Edelrin.
They'd climbed up to the mountains near where residents lived.
Roads, of course, and in bad cases, under village soil or even houses.
“Stalker stops are everywhere.”
It was literally a minefield.
A little more delay, and they'd have been massacred the moment terraforming ended.
- Damn I'm so anxious lololol
- Remember, the war ain't over yet ㅇㅇ;
- Wait, what about the farmlands tho?
“Huh, right.”
The problem was the remaining farmlands.
This vast plain was all fields.
If monsters hid even in the village, the fields went without saying.

(Villagers tensely playing rock-paper-scissors gif)
Doing death rock-paper-scissors to check field status rn lol
If I lose, gotta go check for monsters
(Sobbing frog con giving thumbs up)
Me first lol

- So fucking pitiful
- Can't they send knights?
ㄴ OP) They're coming but idk when;
ㄴ You wanna get dragged underground armor and all, dumbass?
ㄴ You're the knight, dumbass
ㄴ This is why we pay taxes, fuck
Kellarton was the land of knights.
Not from the start, but...
The high-quality steel I scattered once drew knights from everywhere.
But even those knights dominated on the surface like tanks—useless if dragged underground.
“Wait for rain, I guess...”
But monsters had already moved or shifted to drier spots.
Plus, farming was the locals' only job now.
Couldn't just abandon that vast breadbasket plain.
- Judak*) Don't go for now
ㄴ OP) Whoa teach
ㄴ So reassuring lololol
ㄴ 'Don't go'
ㄴ 'Okay.'
ㄴ But why trust and not go?
ㄴ Fr gotta eat to live;
ㄴ Obviously a guy like Judak has a solution, you think he's as dumb as you?
“Judak does what he wants.”
No real problem.
Got called dumb out of nowhere.
“Well, just find 'em now.”
I surveyed the terrain first.
Edelrin folks made farming their livelihood.
Normally lived in villages up high.
Went down in the mornings to farm.
- Dumb?
- Brain work only vs brain and body work
ㄴ Fr their routes are so inefficient lol
Sure, it looked like a waste of routes at first glance.
ㄴ This dumbass? Monsters block for you?
ㄴ Oh right
ㄴ (lololol surrender! Elf con)
No choice because of monsters.
Farming was war.
Smash field monsters, stay vigilant on all sides.
After the drought, they hadn't gone down at all—god knows what's there now.
“Of course, gallery docs are an option...”
Steel-clad modern docs.
Call 'em if clogged, push through—but couldn't.
Gallery docs' main gig was now rift hunting and smashing.
Better to close rifts than hunt hidden monsters.
“Hmm... what to do?”
Told not to go, but livelihoods at stake.
Pondering with no ideas when—
- Wtf, solved like this? [51]
- Judak archmage intuition review...jpg [121]
- Wow... just awe fr; [31]
“Huh?”
Weird posts started popping up in the gallery.
Mostly marveling at my solution.
“What? I haven't done shit yet.”
Problem: wasn't me.
Curious what happened, checked concept posts—then it hit me.
“Ah.”
That was my doing.
But not what I intended.
*
Cloud seeding.
Spray chemicals into clouds to weigh vapor and make rain.
“Tech with lots of side effects.”
Issues like stealing future rain,
Or pulling rain from other areas—lots of negativity.
Remembered a striking comment on an article.
- No godly play without cost
Mess with weather, pay the price.
Countries that overdid it got storms as backlash.
Edelrin skies were rotten with excess clouds.
“Just blocked by mana.”
Some overflowed elsewhere, but piled up and overflowed.
Already rainy area.
Cost of bursting cloud seeds: one thing.
[Title: Chills... Judak Archmage Intuition Review.jpg]
OP: Don'tBlockJudak
Nick says it: I'm a Judak archmage fanatic
(Dragon mouth grenade burst gif)
(Bunker buster exploding gif)
Collect explosion archmage gifs, watch daily at home—my joy ㅇㅇ
Thrilling rush when they pop
Sky-splitting blasts were the wildest I've seen
Thought nothing topped 'em
(Sky turning black gif)
(Storm raging, can't even stand gif)
(Hidden monsters swept and shredded in spray gif)
Everything my eyes touch is going apeshit
Seeing live hits different
Now awe turned to fear
Villagers who came out thrilled at rain are all hiding now
TL;DR: Came out curious, hid scared

- Lol just laughing my ass off lololol
- Lower village got wrecked ㄷㄷ;
ㄴ But what about fields?
ㄴ OP) Drought wrecked 'em anyway, monsters too—lololol
- Judak*) Whoa
ㄴ If teach is shocked, wtf
ㄴ Cute archmage startled, can't control power—rare af...
ㄴ O
Storm.
Swept everything except the relatively high village.
Like hosing a dirty hall—monsters cleanly washed away.
Cloud seeding side effect: proper storm hit.
- Even archmage can't do that?
ㄴ I'm that archmage, can't. How tf?
ㄴ Fr lol
ㄴ Archmages don't talk like that
- Fr shit-your-pants impressive ㄹㅇ
ㄴ Why bring up shit
ㄴ Pls hold it in for humanity...
“No, it turned out like this.”
Nearly trolled hard, became grand admiral instead.
Feels weird getting claps for nothing.
But storm weakened sky monster mana.
Now just faint mana left messing with weather.

- Can I join?
- Me 24hr hold challenge
ㄴ Fr?
ㄴ Lol;
ㄴ Die or 1 mil coins—win-win?
“Had a solution in mind.”
Solved before use.
I peeked at gallery half-heartedly, turned sideways.
“Ueng...”
Dryer, illegally hogging bed, made weird noise as pushed.
“What, since when?”
“F-for a while...?”
Since dashing out mid-Yongyong coffee for gallery?
Stayed asleep somehow.
Face beet red.
Panting rough—mid-meal, as she said.
‘She does this sometimes.’
“Was I bothering?”
“No... just stay like this...”
“Gotcha.”
Dryer-style, fingers fidgeted, poking shoulder or hair.
Her limit without passing out, her meal.
I kept gallery-peeking.
“So my solution unneeded?”
Pondering shelving it, saw post on next steps.
- So now what?
ㄴ ...What?
ㄴ Sky mana weakened but not gone
ㄴ Edelrin handles now
ㄴ Judak your bitch? Spoonfeed that too?
ㄴ Just beg to be fed, dumbass
Monsters and rifts solved, but faint mana lingers.
Vanishes naturally, but till then?
Post got tons of handshakes and cash meets, perfect timing for me.
“Now!”
- Judak*) ㅇㅇ Good call
ㄴ O
ㄴ Fr that guy's too cocky lol
ㄴ N-no Lord Judak I just...
Panicking OP, hooked reactions.
Amid attention, I boldly commented.
ㄴ Judak*) (Sprinkler gif)
ㄴ Judak*) Wanted to try anyway. Helping out ㅇㅇ
ㄴ ?
ㄴ Wtf thx so much
ㄴ Angel? Helps with this too?
Sprinklers—essential for large-scale farming.
“Can't resist sprinklers on medieval ag.”
Chemical fertilizer-seasoned medieval farming: time for finisher.
