- Justice is alive
- Finally caved to the protests lol
- Serves you right kekeke Disrecommendation
- So? Who the hell are you to tell me to spam or not?
ㄴ What the fuck is this guy?
ㄴ Lmao he's so clueless it's hilarious fml
The gallery was in full festival mode.
Everyone had huge expectations for whatever I brought each time, and this was no different.
[Sold out!]
The 1,000 units of cola vanished in seconds like a lie.
But separately from that, no taste reviews were popping up in the gallery right away.
[So, any doomers tried the cola yet?]
[Ah lol; hurry up and drink it first you guys]
[I bought it but what's with this bubbling sound? Freaky as hell;]
Fear of the unknown was the cause.
And the cola's terrifying appearance played a part too.
“It just looks delicious.”
To me, already a devotee of the black water, it looked endlessly tasty, but it was a tough drink for newbies.
The mysterious bubbling, the pitch-black liquid beyond mere darkness.
[No but it looks way too scary;]
[If I drink it I might not wake up]
The gallery's vibe was super cautious for a few minutes.
But that didn't last long.
Title: Oh what is this?
Took a sip and it's super weird
My throat stings but in a good way I guess?
Already on my second can and idk how to describe it
ㄴ Tasty?
ㄴ Right??
ㄴ (Author) Well, hmm
ㄴ (Author) Lemme drink one more can and I'll say
Title: Oh? Oh? Oh?
(Attached: image of cola poured into a glass)
Ooooh? Oh?? Ooooh??
ㄴ Don't drink if it looks like this guy for sure
ㄴ What did you turn the dude into a gorilla?
ㄴ Judak the kid's gone weird
“Everyone's scared at first, huh.”
Maybe cola is scary in a medieval world without carbonation, unlike modern times.
At this rate, no quick reactions.
But there was a super easy way to convince the hesitant folks.
Title: Gallery folks who bought cola, come here
Author: Judak☆
Whatever you do, do NOT drink the cola
ㄴ Ok, I'll muster the courage and try it
ㄴ You mean definitely drink it right?
ㄴ Was gonna try later but now I'll drink after hearing this
Luckily, the convincing worked, and one by one they started sipping cola.
And symptoms appeared right away.
Title: ●▅▇█▇▆▅▄▇
I only managed to buy one can by mistake
Judak put out more cola
ㄴ So brazen you crazy bastard lololol
ㄴ Thinks he deserves it...
Title: I just imagined drinking cola
Couldn't hold back curiosity and drank it lol
First one down with a gasp lol
Then the second and third I was saving? Gulp gulp gone lol
On the fourth and oh! Shit!
No cans left? Lol
Just imagining it pisses me off lol
ㄴ It was imagination right?
ㄴ (Author) Fuck
ㄴ Lmaoooo everything except the imagination part was fact?
Of course, not all posts were positive.
In a primitive world where religion was power and everything, black bubbling water symbolized ominousness.
Title: Cola is a cursed beverage
Black, boiling cold water.
Doesn't it look off at first glance?
This is surely the devil's byproduct, or a beast's.
Didn't the heavens always say to avoid the black and ominous?
The intent is ominous too.
Cola supplier is just one guy, Judak, addicting the whole gallery.
Brothers, snap out of it.
And as expected.
The religious issue, quiet throughout gallery activity, flared up trying to ban cola.
Not just one or two posts either.
Tons of posts forming opinion and muddying the waters.
“No need to stop it.”
Because this is medieval.
Post-apocalypse medieval.
ㄴ Retard
ㄴ Fu! To me Judak is god, got it?
ㄴ You next can't-buy-cola doomer
ㄴ Yup~ I'm gonna chug it~ Whatever Judak sells I'll rush like a dog to buy~
ㄴ Pls don't buy. Keep avoiding to reduce my competition!
ㄴ Idiots lol still believing in gods
ㄴ (Author) Such blasphemy! How dare you deny the heavens above?
ㄴ Shut your crap fuck. If god existed would I live this miserably?
ㄴ Only Judak helped me. If you bring up religion and fuck around I'll kill you
“Wow, everyone's vicious.”
From what I knew, many gallery folks had lost family, friends, siblings.
Dragging religion in to oppress here? Bound to get fierce backlash.
Not the usual jokey swears, but real venom. Watching that, I decided it was time to execute the plan.
“Alright, seems like everyone's hooked on cola.”
Reason for dumping 1,000 units from the start.
To hook as many as possible.
“Then let's get started.”
I smirked and released the next batch.
Title: Is Judak a god?
Judakisgod? GodJudak? GodJudakmaster???
- Lololol doomer who hoarded 10 colas upvote lol
- Again! Failed to buy!!! So pissed!!!
- Judak was right
- Yup just buy it~
- Why only 800 this time? >:(
Subtly cut 200 units.
Browsing the gallery after, some mentions but no big backlash.
Mostly bought-it reactions and thanks posts, friendly majority.
“Still good so far.”
But not enough.
I waited till next morning market open and dropped new stock.
600 this time.
“Proceed.”

Title: Elf Elder Alert
Lately anti-elder vibes so I was hiding but gotta say something
Why keep cutting cola stock Judak?
Wanna see someone die?
[Comments]
- Go back in
- Don't come out. Doesn't help public opinion
- Cola shortage even drags out old fart elves ㄷㄷ;
ㄴ (Author) Not old fart! Wanna die?
Title: Judak why no more sales...?
Author: Fallen Noble Elf Lady
(Attached: image rubbing cola on cheek making V sign)
Already drank all my cola...
Wanna drink more but stock too low...
Can't you release a bit more? ㅠoㅠ
Started at 1,000. Then 800.
Gradually down to 400 now.
Obviously too few for everyone, gallery boiling over.
To what extent? Even lurkers who never post came out en masse. Cola's influence was huge.
Especially this one.
Title: Judak I'm cursing you!!!
Keep cutting cola stock!
Act like trading with me then bail!
Act like trading with me then bail!!
Act like trading with me then bailoooook!!!
My tuna cans!!!
[Comments]
ㄴ Fake crazy
ㄴ 1/10
ㄴ Elf trash
ㄴ (Author) All you Eladros come! Let's fight!!!
And here, the elf maintaining ~dayo concept with daily crap posts.
The one who bailed on bed trade last time. Yup.
With cola shortage driving the elf mad to the peak, I realized the time had come.
[‘PureElf’ has been invited to the chatroom!]
PureElf: Hing?
Judak☆: Hi hi
PureElf: !!! Judak! Why bail right before trade dayo!
PureElf: I even changed my nick to ‘Elf’sUsedBedForSale’ all desperate!!!
PureElf: So my original cute newbie elf nick got snatched aaak!!!
Judak☆: Whoa whoa, calm down
PureElf: I really wanna kill you dayo!!!
As expected, PureElf was out of her mind.
Tuna can trade canceled, only tasted cola once and couldn't buy more, lost it.
So I pretended to worry and typed.
Judak☆: Sorry sorry; wasn't on purpose.
PureElf: Not on purpose what is! I'm super mad dayo! No, mad dayo!!
Judak☆: Tsk... that mad huh, nothing to say then.
Judak☆: Was gonna give 100 cola cans as apology...
Judak☆: (Attached: photo of 100 cola cans stacked like a tower)
PureElf: ?!
Could feel her shock from chat alone.
PureElf froze for a while, only typed after minutes.
PureElf: Ahem, then maybe I can forgive dayo.
Judak☆: Hehe. Stock cut cuz I set aside for you
PureElf: As expected wise dayo! But how to give all this dayo?
Judak☆: Was gonna barter. That's why invited. Just hit trade button ㅇㅇ
PureElf: Hmm?
Trade button.
But massive trap here.
Anyone paying attention would see: in market bartering, MUST exchange something both ways.
PureElf: Ok fine dayo! I'll accept the gesture dayo!
But famous for caution, this elf was seaweed-brained from cola shortage.
PureElf bit hard and hit trade.
[100 cola cans delivered!]
PureElf: Thanks dayo!!
[Trade completed.]
PureElf: But what's this dayo?
Judak☆: Oh just means trade done. Ignore
PureElf: Aha
Fell for it innocently without knowing what happened.
“Perfect.”
I grinned darkly and bounced from chat.
And soon after, 5 mins later.
- Wtf dude why'd you scam
- Legendlegendlegend lololol
- Welcome to paddak
