Chapter Title: Announcement from the Elf Elders
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Announce it from the Elf Elder Council...
El-ha☆! Elf elder here~.
First off, sorry for causing such a stir...
I didn't expect the reaction to be this hostile...
But calling us old elf farts to go die was too much~!
Sorry to Lord Judak too~
That's that!
ㄴ ?
ㄴ I'm confused
ㄴ What's "that's that"?
ㄴ "You bet!" or something?
ㄴ (Image of an elf giving a thumbs up)
ㄴ Seriously, what's the difference between them and monsters?
ㄴ 1. Can't understand them
ㄴ 2. Just looking at them pisses me off
ㄴ 3. Almost every race is hostile to them
Fortunately, the incident wrapped up within a day when the Elder Council raised the white flag.
The dwarves' help played a big role in resolving it faster than expected.
Title: Withdrawing support for Judak
From today onward, we dwarves sever ties with Judak and become one body.
Any attacks on Judak will be considered attacks on the dwarves.
ㄴ What can you even do?
ㄴ We'll give you dwarf-made weapons
ㄴ Huh?
ㄴ We'll smash your head with a dwarf-made weapon
ㄴ Hooo...
"...Sturdy backup."
The gallery normalized, and despairing yet peaceful posts started appearing again.
Lost track of day and night as I kept gallerying.
Naturally, points piled up, and mana pellets multiplied like crazy through buying and reselling.
"What, they'll come in handy someday."
The warehouse was spacious with plenty of room.
That was the problem—piling mana pellets in the corner while gallerying.
The mana pellets no longer stayed in the corner; they filled the entire warehouse.
Plop plop.
"...Isn't this way too much?"
The mana pellets filled half the warehouse.
At this rate, I'd get crushed to death by mana pellets instead of monsters.
"But I can't just throw them out."
Mana pellets were legitimate isekai currency.
So I couldn't discard them, and my head started aching over how to deal with them.
Title: So how does Judak handle mana pellets?
Just then, a title caught my eye.
ㄴ ☆Judak) What's mana pellets?
ㄴ OP) ?? Mana pellets?
ㄴ ☆Judak) I'm having trouble disposing of them too; can't sell anywhere hiding in ruins
"No way that guy has a solution."
Probably just asked out of curiosity.
I'd been steadily collecting mana pellets from every sale.
Then came a reply I couldn't ignore.
ㄴ OP) Then just eat them
ㄴ ☆Judak) They're edible?
ㄴ OP) Duh, why wouldn't you eat them?
ㄴ ☆Judak) ?
ㄴ OP) ??
Something was off in the exchange.
I used search, expanding to title and content for "mana pellets."
Posts matching "mana pellets" [54]
"What, only a few?"
Most were aggro bait or crap posts titled "Easy ways to get mana pellets."
So I tweaked the keywords.
Mana pel eat.

-What the hell does eating mana pellets even taste like?
-Mana pellets kinda taste like blueberry?
-Mana pel noobs come in
As expected, had to narrow it down first.

Title: Mana pellets taste like blueberry
Was so hungry I just ate some raw
Surprisingly tasty, shocked
Some say tasteless, some say vinegar, but it's pretty good?
ㄴ Tastes differ by region
ㄴ Also by monster grade ㅇㅇ
ㄴ That's why pre-Great War high-rank adventurers did mana pellet tasting tours
ㄴ OP) Whoa really?
Title: AHHH!!! SHIT!!!
Why do the mana pellets around here only taste like shit!!!
ㄴ lol shit curry, curry shit
ㄴ Feeling two flavors at once in one area ㄷㄷ
ㄴ So bloated!
ㄴ ☆Judak) If it tastes that bad, why eat it?
ㄴ OP) ??
ㄴ OP) You have to eat them to increase mana and get closer to awakening?
ㄴ Sometimes pure hunger, but usually for enlightenment.
ㄴ ☆Judak) Whoa! Like leveling up? Eat exp and get stronger?
ㄴ What is this...
ㄴ OP) Here we go again, just eat some food
"Ah, no level ups?"
Had mana settings but asking about levels made me the weirdo.
Still, gleaned key info from the chat.
I picked up one of the piling mana pellets in the corner and stared.
"So, these are edible?"
Looked like a lump of clay.
Knew instantly: pellets from our area are doomed.
Sticky and damp-looking, utterly unappetizing.
Plus, no clue how the effects worked.
Gallery said enlightenment—vague as hell, might do nothing.
Still, closed my eyes and popped a pellet in, chewed.
Squelch.
"Whoa, texture's insane."
Unpleasantly so.
Like trash—no, rotten banana peel texture.
And mint chocolate flavor? Why?
"But filling at least..."
Worse the taste, higher the nutrition?
Stomach full now, anyway.
Never eating again, though.
[Absorbed mana pellet.]
[Status window unlocked via enlightenment.]
[Level up! 1→2]
"Huh?"
But the following messages snapped me alert.
Level up? They said no such thing.
Wrong.
As Judak, I had level ups.
And with the level gain, a new ability appeared.
[Judak]
Level 2
-Point acquisition Lv. 2
"Point acquisition Lv. 2?"
Dazed, I dove into the gallery.
Isekai Destruction Gallery floods daily with hate pics, tactical nukes—perfect timing.
Title: Gallery bro's face, top tier?
(Zoomed goblin face from fresh kill)
Just woke up selfie ㅇㅇ
Too handsome for you gallery bros?
Hope you don't hate on a guy from such a country.
ㄴ Graaaah!
ㄴ You seriously gonna throw down?
ㄴ Hateful humans! I'll curse you!!
"Perfect material here."
Goblin zoom? After tanking tactical nukes, this was nothing.
Clicked the ban icon next to the OP.
[Suspended 99 days]
[Reason: Too handsome]
[60 points awarded to Judak for gallery normalization efforts.]
"Whoa!"
Gallery management includes user bans, mediating fights or stirring them, registering hate posts, etc.
Banning tactical nuke users gives big rewards—jumped from 30 to double!
"This shines like 60 tuna cans lol"
One mana pellet doubled point gains.
Had been scraping points dumping stock to help dwarves—timely.
"Maybe I can buy it now!"
Item I'd eyed for days.
Shop/Furniture category: top-tier bed for 10,000 points.
Essential for gallerying.
Sleeping on hard warehouse floor made me miss beds more.
Plus, gallery overflowing with hate pics for a money-copy event.
-Zero to goblin pic drawn
-Judak asleep? Tactical nuke incoming
-Cute pic girl means bedtime
ㄴ Dwarf ffs
ㄴ Satisfying
ㄴ ?
"Perfect."
One hand mana pellet, one hand gallery.
Went berserk gallerying.

-Wtf happening in gallery rn?
-Today's elf pics collection.jpg
-Is this a bug?
-Post deleted
Isekai Destruction Gallery had been lawless.
Without active Judak, every day was more fucked day.
But even that couldn't withstand my 24/7 gallerying.
-Post deleted, only me seeing this?
Initially, mostly baffled reactions.
Thought it was a bug, clueless—after an hour, they caught on.
- Wait, Judak did all this? lol
- Lifetime ban? Nah, deletion speed insane?
- Kept saying my cass pics deleted, so you were managing lol
ㄴ It was you, you punk?
Endless deletions piled up.
[Points: 5,000]
First time seeing that number.
Equivalent to 5,000 tuna cans.
In water, enough liters to flood the warehouse.
"All in a few hours?"
One more push for the dream bed.
Spending 10k on one bed stung, but not pure loss.
"Good sleep means more gallerying."
Thought of recruiting unpaid slave gallery bros someday.
About to resume.
[Level up! 2→3]
[New gallery feature unlocked!]
[Buy. Sell.]
[Trade goods directly.]
Caution!
Payments need not be mana pellets.
Judak must participate as buyer or seller.
3. Higher levels unlock more details.
"Ooh?"
Paused mid-gallery.
Maybe no need to blow points on shop bed.
