Chapter Title: I Didn't Want to Know

[Title: I Didn't Want to Know]
(Frog meme sobbing while pointing a sword at itself)
To be honest, I really didn't want to know.
Living as an ignorant fool oblivious to the truth might've been several times happier.
I imagined the beautiful girl Judak worrying about me, showering the market with gifts and sharing rare items.
But now, that future is gone.
- Gallery bros...
ㄴ Judak, why did you open Pandora's box?
ㄴ Suddenly lost all motivation. Don't want to do anything. Work, appetite, nothing...
ㄴ Fuck!!!!!
ㄴ Argh, Judak you fool!
[Title: Don't Be Too Sad ^^]
(Rabbit beastkin meme stretching arm toward the screen to make a V-sign with fingers)
Lord Judak, you're handsome!
There's a gap between reality and the gallery!
You talk so sharply, but in person, you're so shy >[Gender doesn't matter as long as it tastes good, right? - Wow... look at this - My torn heart... feels a little warm - Fuck, that just makes me sadder!!! ㄴ Fr, what does it matter if a guy is handsome ㄴ Beautiful girl Judak]>>>>>> guy >>>>>>> handsome Judak
ㄴ If it's a handsome guy instead... it'd just make me feel deprived and hate it...
ㄴ Instead?
ㄴ ??
The impact was bigger than expected.
I gave the cultists the red pill to tell them to chill, but the whole gallery sank into depression.
Even in this mess, only some female gallery users and the rabbit tribe liked it.
"Why is everyone so desperate to dig into my info?"
- So what does Judak look like?
- Judak, reveal your face ASAP!
- Fuck, Judak bastard, who the hell are you to hide your face and stir shit? You think you're something??
ㄴ Is Judak your friend?
ㄴ Troll kid~ Try requesting politely again~
ㄴ Cocky little Judak! I'm so curious I want to know Judak's face, can you reveal it?
ㄴ lololol no way he'd reveal it
ㄴ Did the red pill make you lose your mind?
Of course, I had no intention of revealing my face.
I'm the gallery admin, not a public figure.
Even if I were a public figure, no reason to reveal.
"Keep it hidden forever."
The problem wasn't just gallery users being curious about my face.
[Admin Chat]
Full Elf: Judak, Judak.
Judak*: ?
Full Elf: Can't you post a selfie just for us? We're curious what you look like.
Soon-to-Die Vampire: Agreed. Curious.
The two approached hesitantly.
Maybe because I'd been diligently managing the gallery without too many chats, it was more unexpected than I thought.
Judak*: Oh, that curious?
Judak*: Then specially just for you two.
Full Elf: ?! For real!?
Soon-to-Die Vampire: Really?
Full Elf: Judak! Judak! Judak! Judak!
Judak*: (Frog meme holding a wine glass with a subtle smile)
Judak*: What it is~
Judak*: Sent it via mail~
Of course, no intention of telling the mod kids either.
Soon-to-Die Vampire: ?
Full Elf: You bastard!!!
Soon-to-Die Vampire: ...I'll come see it in person.
Judak*: No no no no;
Didn't expect the mod kids to be curious about my face too.
Anyway, no plans to reveal.
"All bait is welcome."
Except for me.
- But isn't Judak an archmage?
- Reasons why Judak is actually a beautiful girl...jpg
- Official) Judak is a product of the transcendent Fritz Haber. Gender twist is nothing.
ㄴ Oh, then?
ㄴ Don't lose hope.
ㄴ Beautiful girl Judak! Academy tsundere villain position Judak! Taming the villain Judak!
ㄴ ?
- Orange Faction) The beautiful girl Judak theory... lives on...
ㄴ We won't give up...!
Leaving the gallery desperately running their hope circuits, I turned my eyes to the shop.
[Balance – 51,230p]
"Who am I? A 50k point holder..."
At this moment, I didn't envy billionaires.
Finally reached the target of 50k points.
Worth enduring being used as bait and diligently banning brainrot posts.
With a light hand movement, I entered the bunker category.
[Standard Bunker] 50,000 points
[Luxury Bunker] 100,000 points
.
.
[Nuclear War Doomsday Bunker] - 10,000,000 points
[Standard Bunker] - 50,000 points
- Effective against shock magic!
- Impossible to breach with normal blades!
"Flex."
[You have purchased the 'Standard Bunker'!]
I completed the purchase without hesitation.
Almost simultaneously, a new system message appeared.
[Apply this product to your residence?]
No idea how it applies, but following the system can't hurt.
The moment I hit accept.
"Huh?"
Rumble rumble.
The entire warehouse shook violently.
*
The system's application was simple.
Forcibly expanding the warehouse interior.
The relatively cramped, undivided space started changing in real time.
The interior expanded overall, with a living room, storage, and shower room appearing sequentially.
The old wooden pillars vanished completely, replaced by modern marble and white paint.
"This is... my house?"
All existing items in the warehouse were neatly organized without me lifting a finger.
Vrrr.
The swords moved to wall racks, settling in satisfyingly.
Truly legendary.
"But you'll keep working."
...Vrrr.
I naturally pulled the holy sword from its rack, hung it from the ceiling, and looked around the interior.
A house that only drew admiration.
Compared to a normal home, it's lacking, but recalling my previous life, not bad.
"Basically invincible to external shocks."
As long as I don't open the door, no more raids or kidnappings like before.
Of course, might not hold against stronger shocks or magic, but this is plenty.
I dashed to the living/bedroom and flopped onto the bed.
Amazing! Impressive!
"But thinking about it, I'm in bed every hour, so does space even matter?"
Suddenly, wandering the bunker interior felt pointless.
While lying stiffly, a new concept post appeared.
[Concept Post: Let's Learn About the Chilling Rifts.jpg]
"Whatever."
Lying on the bed, I browsed the shop for food and kept gallery-ing.

[Concept Post: Let's Learn About the Chilling Rifts.jpg]
(Thumbs-up hedgehog con)
Hey gallery bros.
Today, talking about the pet lava, the rifts that suddenly appeared one day.
(Rift meme throwing trash into it)
As you know, rifts were harmless at first.
Simple trash disposals, that sort of role.
But over time, problems started growing.
(Frog meme clutching head)
(Hug me. Crop turned monster con)
Headaches first, then seriously debuffing crops into monsters?
So me and many gallery scholars researched, but the result was one.
(Magic bombing the rift but it's fine meme)
Magic absolutely can't destroy rifts.
Destruction seems possible, but mana resistance is so high it's practically impossible.
Q. Can't you just smash with physical force?
Of course, such questions arise.
(Knight swings sword but it breaks meme)
But normal physical force can't destroy it either.
If reading this, you judge your iron fist stronger than steel, give it a try.
But this thing has one useful point!
(Mercenary band gathered around rift meme)
(Crop monsterizing from rift meme)
(Beat it before full transformation to harvest 'monster meat' meme)
Wait for crop monsterization, time the transformation, harvest mass meat!
With the MSG Judak scattered, monster meat is delicious too, so if hungry or need bulk food, try it.

- Thanks, Divine Wiki!
- This method is legit honey, tedious but one go covers a week's food.

ㄴ What's this?
ㄴ Monster meat farming tips.
ㄴ Fuck, someone's already running a factory?
One day, a post went up on concept posts.
It detailed rift observations and food production using rifts.
Judak's fertilizer hit the world, but not widespread yet.
Races busy surviving used it for protein.
And one elf in Elrad, like all gallery users, was using the method.
"Hnggh..."
The problem was it went a bit—no, very wrong.
- Gurguruk, gurgurgurgurguruk
"Ugh..."
Elf Lidia was an excellent archer.
Unlike daddy's girl elves, she lived by hunting, so used the method.
But it was weird.
Not just crops monsterizing around the rift—the rift sprouted tentacles.
- Gurguk, gururuk
- Huh?
A tentacle as thick as an arm emerged from the rift.
It touched the pumpkin she was growing and started injecting something.
That was the nightmare's start.
The pumpkin became a huge humanoid monster with a scythe, chasing Lidia.
"Ow, don't wanna die painfully."
Her grass-green hair was bloodied, blood kept pouring from her left arm.
Hiding behind a fallen tree as vision blurred, but is this the end?
- Guruk
She suddenly realized the pumpkin monster was staring down at her.
Like toying with prey before killing.
The scythe slowly rose above her head.
As despair filled Lidia's face, a cheerful notification rang out incongruously.
[Comment on your post 'Ahh, my final request. Will you [avenge] me instead?'!]
- What the fuck
- What monster is that?
- That pumpkin looks full of malice
'No, not these comments.'
Lidia gritted her teeth, clinging to life.
Not hope of survival.
She knew the scythe would fall soon, but needed to buy even seconds.
Because the gallery had Judak active every hour, every minute, every second.
- Judak*: Screenshot taken.
And as expected, Judak appeared.
- Judak*: Even if post deleted, pic remains.
- Judak*: Good job holding out. Thanks for the report. Revenge promised. Rest easy now.
ㄴ I'll Become Elf Archer Master: :)
"You're done now."
A faint smile crossed her pale face.
No regrets now.
Judak would pull out bizarre items and turn the pumpkin monster to pulp.
'A bit regrettable.'
Many users vanish from the gallery daily, but who knew it'd be her.
- Guruk?
Crack!
The monster swung the scythe, face of incomprehension.
ㄴ Deleted comment.
One likable anon vanished just like that.
