Chapter Title: Isekai Destruction Gallery
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Items listed in the Market were random.
Excluding fixed items like Tuna Cans, I handled them flexibly depending on the situation.
Naturally, snacks and desserts didn't come up often.
"Starving to death with no food, and you want dessert?"
Considering prices, I even sold large quantities of cheap tap water in the Market.
Boiling it made it drinkable one way or another.
It was far cleaner and healthier than rotten or dirty water, or rainwater.
Yet the cost of bulk tap water matched just one bag of potato chips.
"It doesn't add up financially."
Surprisingly, there was a lot of demand for desserts.
The Gallery was clamoring to put them up right away.
- Please sell Honey Butter Chips...
- I want something sweet. It's my long-held wish.
- The desserts and food in the Market are seriously my one and only joy in life.
"Surprisingly popular."
There weren't many entertainments in the Isekai.
No, most people couldn't even properly secure food, clothing, and shelter, let alone leisure.
In that situation, the Market's appearance had drawn people in.
They were especially obsessed with the quality and taste of desserts and food and drink.
[Title: Gacha Item Update]
Author: Judak*
Added mid-tier items
- Honey Butter Chips
- Logging Axe
- First Aid Kit
Good?
[Likes 9999+] [Dislikes 1231]
- Holy shit, good, here we go
- Why release it in Gacha instead of the Market!!!
- If you don't put it in the Market, we're really screwed!
- This guy's loaded now lol
So I put it in the Gacha, but the reaction was lukewarm.
Even the Market sold out instantly upon listing, but Gacha had even higher barriers.
No matter how much you kept pulling, if it didn't come up, that was just how Gacha worked.
But I had no intention of releasing this one.
I released it for the padaks from the start.
- Judak*): It was for the padaks to eat;
ㄴ Judak*): I could just delete them all
ㄴ lol satisfied with Gacha alone
ㄴ (Praise Kon)
Public opinion normalized right away.
People who knew threats with public opinion wouldn't work jumped into analysis.
Right away, Gacha probability breakdowns.
- Anyone got the Honey Butter Chip probability chart?
ㄴ It's in mid-tier at least
ㄴ 7~11 out of 100 pulls, so mid-tier around 10%?
ㄴ 10 mid-tier items, so like 1% each
ㄴ Holy shit 1%?
Gacha had common, mid-tier, and jackpot (high-tier) three levels.
10% wasn't bad, but targeting Honey Butter Chips specifically made it basically a jackpot.
- Who the hell would do this?
ㄴ No one with a functioning brain lol
Naturally, the gallery's reaction wasn't great, but I was confident.
"1% is a steal, right?"
Plus, that was just for Honey Butter Chips; combining mid and high-tier made it 11%.
Pulling mid-tier or above and reselling was profitable.
What was the difference between Gallery Market Gacha and modern crypto investing?
- I'm doing it
- Holy shit please let me win just once!!!
- Pull ho!!!
['LifeReverseByPulls' attempts a 10-pull!]
['NeverElf' attempts a 10-pull!]
['CatHunterFold' attempts a 10-pull!]
Non-stop notification sounds.
Of course, it didn't come up easily.
But just once, even one single time, if it came up.
['NeverElf' pulled Honey Butter Chips (mid-tier)!]
NeverElf: Kyaaak! Finally!
The moment one person succeeded, the onlookers went insane.
- Whoa holy shit crazy lol
- Pulled this one ㄷㄷ
- How many pulls?
- Leave a Honey Butter Chip review on the notice board
Pure spectators
- I'll buy for 100 Isekai Coins!
ㄴ No, 200 for me
ㄴ 500!
ㄴ Holy shit 1,000!
And rich folks swarming to buy jumped into auction competition.
I didn't ban this specifically.
It wasn't reselling; it was pure luck of the pull and buyer demand.
NeverElf: Not selling lol
NeverElf: Do you know how obsessed with gourmet food I've been for centuries?
NeverElf: Ahh, I've lived my whole life for this moment!
Of course, no guarantee the winner would sell.
Medieval folks who couldn't eat monster meat were going crazy over modern flavors.
Even millions in rewards for one snack bag—they wouldn't sell.
[Title: Ah, I'm really happy...]
(A crumbling shack)
As you can see, I'm pretty poor
No coins, unstable job
But after the Market, I lived eating Tuna Cans and stuff I'd never taste otherwise
So I was reasonably happy, then I tried Gacha once
(Honey Butter Chips opening image)
And I got it lol
Tasted one, and it was a flavor that forgave all my life's hardships
Tears came unbidden
Someone offered 10,000 coins, but I don't regret it at all
Heavenly taste I'll never have again in life

- God's viral marketing...
- Writes well
- How could I forget you, Honey Butter Chips
- Holy shit didn't sell for 10k coins?
ㄴ Crazy pure one lol
ㄴ Real talk, success for poster gallerybro
Plus, steady review posts kept the hype burning without end.
Thanks to that, even recruitment posts targeting remaining padak spots popped up.
- Me32,M, min 20hrs daily gallery time
- 104,F,Elf, 15hrs daily gallery, min 100+ yrs padak possible!
- 4023,Asexual,Dragon, don't know gallery well but will work hard for centuries
ㄴ What the hell is this guy lol
"Of course, no plans to recruit yet."
Fortunately, the burning Gallery was hot in a good way.
With a more relaxed mind, I finally handled postponed business.
FullPieElf: Judak! More Honey Butter Chips!
Judak*: lol Confiscating Honey Butter Chips, time for you to take a loss
FullPieElf: ?! Why why!!!
Troll padak normalized.
Ignoring protesting FullPieElf, I turned to another padak.
It was the still silent SoonDieVamp.
"Why no chats?"
Considering her sweet tooth, the gap was too long.
Especially staying this quiet even during the Honey Butter Chip hype.
At this point, something might've really happened.
[Padak 'SoonDieVamp' has entered indefinite activity suspension.]
[Replace padak?]
"What?"
It was after SoonDieVamp in the video rode a portal somewhere.
A weird system message appeared.
"Indefinite activity suspension?"
Did something happen?
But no way to check.
Just as I was speculating, in the room that had only me, a bizarre sound echoed.
-Wooong
"?
I lifted my head from bed and looked at the room corner.
And there, something was rippling.
Not a rift—a fully red, eerie portal.
*
Sticky blood dripped down the scythe.
"Yaaawn..."
In the bisected shack interior, Erzebet rubbed her eyes with a yawn.
"Lately, I've been so sleepy..."
To detox the curse, she needed blood.
But instead of tasteless, nutrient-poor blood, she chose cola and coffee.
The color was similar, right?
It actually worked!
From garbled translation to proper sentences.
"Blood... I need to drink blood..."
But side effects came eventually.
Insane sleepiness started crashing in.
She glanced around the shack interior.
There lay the troll who predicted murder, now reality-banned and collapsed pathetically.
Erzebet sneaked over and licked a drop of blood.
"Urk!"
As expected, no taste.
Who said vampires like blood?
Metallic rust taste, and blood on clothes doesn't wash off easy.
Erzebet returned to the capital with a pout.
"Need to drink blood, but hate drinking it..."
Instead, she grabbed cold cola from the fridge and wet her throat.
She was gradually realizing.
Every time she drew on power, the sleepiness hit more frequently.
And someday, beyond naps, she might sleep centuries deep.
"Guess I should tell Judak..."
Last time she dozed off and missed days of gallery activity.
Erzebet thought now was best.
Maybe Judak had answers—she was about to chat.
"!"
Strength drained from her whole body.
Erzebet flopped messily onto the reality floor.
Her body, pushed to limit, demanded sleep.
"No...!"
Hadn't finished the cola!
She gritted teeth, staring hard at the system.
Judak*: Honey Butter Chips taste bad?
Judak*: No chat, what you doing
Thinks I'm skipping on purpose?
Before sleep took her, she focused, channeling all mana.
Eyes wide, she activated magic.
"Uuugh..."
With that, strength fled her body.
Blinking into oncoming sleep, just before nodding off.
"Oi, where's this?"
Unfamiliar voice echoing in reality.
Struggling to open eyes, mad sweet scent and some human.
"SoonDieVamp?"
"...Judak?"
No, Judak was there.
