Chapter Title: Tuna Can Queen's Crisis
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The incident erupted right in the middle of the meeting.
“Huh?”
While eating a can of tuna, Evelyn suddenly felt her vision blur.
-Thud!
“Your Majesty!”
When she came to, she found herself lying on the floor.
Lloyd, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over in a panic, and the conference room quickly descended into chaos.
“What is this!”
“Call a doctor—hurry, get the doctor!”
When Evelyn touched the bridge of her nose, her fingertip came away stained with black nosebleed.
“Your Majesty, your fingertips...”
The tips of Evelyn’s fingers were blackened and necrotic, rotting away like a corpse.
The moment everyone saw it, a chill ran down their spines.
There was no need for an explanation.
That symptom only appeared in Black Plague victims right before death.
“Doctors won’t cut it. Call a Gallery doctor!”
As Lloyd frantically demanded a Gallery doctor, two arrived about thirty minutes later.
After a brief formality, they immediately began the examination.
The more they checked Evelyn, the paler their faces grew.
“What happened?”
Evelyn had received antibiotics just a few days ago.
She should have been improving with treatment, but instead, she was stuck in place—no, worsening.
“The injection came too late.”
Antibiotics needed to be administered as soon as Black Plague symptoms appeared.
But after becoming queen, Evelyn had met with outsiders frequently.
In fact, she had already been infected before the Black Plague even became a hot topic in the Gallery.
“It’s already spread throughout her body.”
“Even so, isn’t this too fast!”
“And Your Majesty’s body was already far too weakened.”
She had been imprisoned for years.
Then, barely freed, she faced a torrent of events.
The founding, the coronation, the monster invasion.
Fatigue had built up relentlessly.
Even if she miraculously recovered from the Black Plague, survival seemed unlikely.
“Is there no way?”
“We wouldn’t dare say...”
The Gallery doctors exchanged awkward glances.
Lloyd understood their meaning.
It was as good as saying to administer painkillers to ease her suffering.
“...I see.”
“Your Majesty!”
“It’s fine. These things happen.”
Evelyn now felt a raging fever, dizziness, and intense chills.
Yet she calmly accepted the painkillers, and only then did her furrowed brow relax.
Leaving the flustered Lloyd behind, Evelyn gave a weak signal with her eyes.
“Bring it.”
“No, it’s too early to give up. Besides, aren’t you the Queen of Kellarton?”
“Now.”
Her voice was faint but firm, so Lloyd reluctantly pulled out a hidden can.
Spicy tuna, half-banned for her health as her condition worsened.
A can she only opened on special days—she took a big bite.
“Ha... so good.”
Even now, with her senses dulled, the taste was incredible.
Evelyn didn’t want to die.
She wanted to savor tuna cans her whole life and die happy in old age.
‘But no regrets.’
Truth be told, she should have died over half a year ago.
But she met Judak, and thanks to him, her final days were filled with happiness.
If Judak had come and given her those happy times before death, there was nothing to feel wronged about.
“Now I’m going to see Father.”
“...Your Majesty.”
Despite becoming queen and searching tirelessly, she never found her family.
It was a lingering attachment.
The hope that her family was still alive.
Only at the moment of death could she finally let it go.
After scraping the tuna can clean, she closed her eyes peacefully and took a breath.
“Lloyd, listen well.”
“...Yes.”
“I have a message for Judak.”
Lloyd’s face darkened.
But soon, he knelt to record her final words for the Gallery.
“I won’t forget.”
Evelyn struggled for breath, then continued with a faint smile.
“From the moment you first saved me, I’ll remember everything you’ve done for me.”
After much thought, Evelyn decided to bare her heart.
She didn’t even know Judak’s face, but she already felt more than gratitude toward him.
“Judak. I think I... lo, lo—”
That was when it happened.
“No way!!!!!”
“?!”
Lloyd suddenly let out a scream-like cheer and leaped from his seat.
“Your Majesty! Judak sent something! You can live!”
Lloyd had requested help from Judak.
And in response, a trade offer arrived from Judak.
[Judak*: Tuna Can Queen don’t die!!!!!]
[Judak* offers ‘100% Golden Carrot.’]
[Judak*: Eat this lol 100% cure]
It was the rabbit beastkin’s treasure, known as a panacea.
As Lloyd cheered in joy, he suddenly turned and asked,
“But Your Majesty, what were you about to say? Lo?”
“...”
Evelyn pulled the blanket over half her face.
But she couldn’t hide the blush of embarrassment.
She fidgeted with her lips for a long time before forcing a natural segue.
“Lo... times four plus this is?”
“Pardon?”
Eighteen.
Why send it now?
Evelyn, who had been gearing up for a serious deathbed confession, genuinely wanted to die.

Lloyd: (Evelyn collapsing in a spray of blood meme)
The Tuna Can Queen was dying.
“Tuna tuna, what’s happening...”
Probably nutritional imbalance from eating only tuna with her weakened body.
No wonder she caught the Black Plague without realizing.
In that state, even antibiotics might not save her.
But who am I?
“100% Golden Carrot owner.”
I had once helped the rabbit tribe threatened by monsters and received rewards.
One was the rabbit hole ticket.
The other was the golden carrot.
A panacea that cured any disease.
Since I’d forced her into queenship, this was the least I could do.
“It’s gotta be around here somewhere.”
The warehouse was stuffed with gifts from Gallery users.
Rummaging through like an explorer, I found the dusty golden carrot.
Dusted it off, rinsed it, and sent it to Lloyd—reply came instantly.
Lloyd: This guywww Super impressiveww
Lloyd: (Tuna Queen munching carrot and thumbs-up meme)
Lloyd: Queen expresses gratitudewww
Judak*: Cutewww
The effect was tremendous!
I got a meme of the now-flushed, fully recovered Tuna Queen.
Saved it after clicking.
But I didn’t stop there.
Along with antibiotics for the Gallery doctors, I included nutrient injections.
“What’s the point of recovering from Black Plague if...?”
A weak body could catch something else and head to the afterlife again.
Plus, I stocked the market with a new item.
- Vita450 this stuff’s amazing
- Mom recovered her energy after this!
- Delicious
- Bought Parkatsu and reviewed...jpg
A cheap, simple fatigue-recovery drink.

ㄴ Damn, I must worship Judak...
[Title: Judak Magic Analysis Post...jpg]
Hey, 5th-circle advanced mage here.
Studied and researched magic today too, got curious and analyzed.
(Explosion magic meme, creation magic meme)
As all Gallery users know, not all mages are the same.
Some specialize in mindless destruction magic, others in defense.
Talents vary, but broadly speaking.
Now check these memes.
(Plague patient recovering and thumbs-up meme)
(Long-shelf-life tuna can meme)
(Elf melting monster with gun meme)
But Judak’s magic is ambiguous.
Cures the incurable plague easily, infuses mana into items for anyone to use.
Pure steel without impurities, revives nutrient-dead soil with fertilizer.
Broadly divided:
1. Creation/utility field
2. Mana storage in items, magitech field
3. Healing field
At this point, Gallery users might wonder.
So, what’s the conclusion from analyzing Judak’s magic?
Simple answer.
Fuck if I know.
What is this?
[Recommendations 1523] [Disrecommendations 2312]
- Holy shit
- Lmao was reading seriously
- Falling for it again, Gallery bros...
- But yeah, seeing it compiled is insanely intriguing ㅇㅇ;
- Isn’t healing magic just fantasy?
- Judak revives the dead;
- Maybe surpasses grand mages?
ㄴ Lmao thinks he’s a transcendent?
ㄴ Judak’s master is transcendent. Makes sense
ㄴ Oh yeah?
ㄴ Fact) Without Judak half of us would be skeletons
ㄴ Wow sane, skeletons!
- Judak say something!
- Argh Judak shush!
- Judak marry me!
Antibiotics, nutrient injections for energy, fatigue drinks released.
The Gallery went wild.
Users demanded explanations from me—I couldn’t ignore it anymore.
“But explain what?”
I’d explained dozens of times.
I can’t use magic for shit.
If a fireball came from my hand, I’d screenshot and post it myself.
In the end, I wrote a post.
- Judak explain quick ㅇㅇ
- Hurry or you’re really done!!!
[Title: Nope]
Author: Judak*
Talking about explanations.
Just wear a mask.

- Kyaa
- Legendary quote
With that, the Black Plague’s major threat passed.
But preventatively, it was just beginning.
Doctors spread prevention methods, but info wasn’t fully disseminated—reinfection risk remained.
“Need a post compiling info.”
Not rigid like a notice, something open for free contributions.
But with some reliability...
“Ah.”
Then it hit me.
