Chapter Title: Elves' Desperate Defense Fails
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Elves are superior.
Even as long-lived beings, they have exceptional physical conditions and don't tire easily.
Under fair conditions, beating an elf one-on-one wasn't easy.
- Ugh... I'm dying...
- My back... my back hurts...!
- My eyes are so blurry, like there's fog ㅠㅠ
That is, when they had the total cheat buff called the World Tree.
The World Tree, which was practically Elad's identity, had been kidnapped.
This led straight to problems for the elves.
"No way one missing World Tree causes all this."
The overflowing mana in their bodies vanished.
Naturally, the elves' stamina and magic that the World Tree supported plummeted—no, crashed hard.
- Lol elves suck ㅋㅋ
- El~ hahahaha
- Elf folks, if your back hurts, let me know! I'm a farmer, gotta check if it's gonna rain!
ㄴ Lmao ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
In a way, the elves were 100% victims.
But no sympathy atmosphere formed for them.
Instead, everyone was busy mocking them.
- Aren't they kinda pitiful though?
Of course, the occasional pro-elf post would pop up...
- What
- You elf bitch?
- If it was just 'elves,' you wouldn't say that. Newbie gallery noob?
Tons of block requests poured in on those posts.
But the poster stubbornly kept posting pro-elf stuff anyway.
[Title: Fact is, elves are the victims here]
Even if you manipulate opinion, this is fact ㅇㅇ
Elves were trying to take care of the World Tree in their own way, and they pushed back waves in Elad too.
Above all, this incident makes elves purely "victims" ㅇㅇ
Fact is, those damn Jucks stole the elves' World Tree Lord.
I know there are lots of past issues tangled up.
But don't go too far with the hate on this one ㅇㅇ
- "" ← WTF why do you add this?
- Elad defended waves x → They were hiding in Elad and barely blocked the invasion o
- During the Great War, elves were the first to bail, what's this bullshit?
Of course, public opinion didn't change.
No, amid everyone flaming, suspicion grew that it was a throwaway alt pro-elf post.
- What is this... you an elf?
- World Tree Lord? Says who? You a Juck?
- (Squinting eyes guy meme)
- -Elf-
- FFS this guy's IP is from Elad
ㄴ Oh
ㄴ Yup, total shithead ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Elf spy caught
And so, the elf spy was exposed.
No, it turned out to be an elf pretending to be human.
"No way, it was an elf?"
Turns out the elves had tried a master opinion war and failed.
Naturally, opinion on elves got even worse.
[Title: Honest take) Elf spy bullshit is real ㅇㅇ]
(Eyes wide open, side-eye frog meme)
But what can you do about it?
Gonna throw a fit over the bullshit? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Elves gathered happily, now bawling ㅋㅋ
- Human pretending to be elf pretending to be human ㄷㄷ
- You evil interlopers!!!
ㄴ We are victims! Stop it!!
ㄴ Total bullshit~
ㄴ Real scary fact) As seen in the elf spy post, elves know they fucked up
ㄴ Wtf seriously? ;;
ㄴ Fr, gave me chills ㄷㄷ;
"Facts-wise, they are victims."
But karma from all their past deeds exists.
No defense, opinion war failed.
Elves finally snapped from the endless mocking posts flooding the gallery.
- ㅇㅇ Got it
ㄴ ㅋㅋ Elves' declaration of bitter defeat
ㄴ Know that now? ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Yeah ㅇㅇ I get it?
ㄴ (Location tracker magic tool meme)
ㄴ Now I know where the dark elves are
In the end, things headed toward catastrophe.
The elf elders were seriously considering using the location tracker magic tool.
- ???
- ㅎㄷㄷ;
- Ultimate move activated
- These guys still haven't quit doxxing?
ㄴ Fr ㅋㅋ Last time they tried on Judak and got wrecked bad
The problem was the dark elves weren't backing down an inch either.

- Nice~ Support~
- Elf vs elf ㅋㅋ
- Better to back dark elves than personality-wrecked elves ㅇㅇ
- Buying dark elf stock~
- DarknessFan) Why's the upvote ratio so high tho?
ㄴ That's... heh heh
ㄴ On behalf of hater elves, please handle the new dawn porn...
ㄴ DarknessFan) ! Go to hell!
On top of that, third parties sided with dark elves, escalating things.
"No way, they're really pitting against the elves?"
Thought they'd grab some food and retreat, but dark elves were stubborn.
Elves outnumbered dark elves by far, so what gave them confidence?
- Judak*) No really, you fighting?
ㄴ DarknessFan) We won't back down!
Realistically, once elves had the location tracker as an ultimate move, the fight was over.
ㄴ Judak*) What's the reason anyway
When asked, since it made no sense logically...
ㄴ DarknessFan) ...no food
ㄴ Wtf
ㄴ Oh...
It was because they'd been cornered since getting chased from Elad.
*
Dark elves originally lived in Elad.
They were a minority ethnic group of elves with dark skin.
Dark elves knew the problems in elven society.
- Elf folks, we gotta stop the pillaging and build self-sufficiency soon
- Yeah. Can't keep overworking the World Tree forever
- Symbiosis my ass, it's exploitation. We need to change
Problem was, it was the elves' golden age back then.
Of course, elves didn't listen.
- What're these dark-skinned elves saying?
- Heard dark elves are human-elf hybrids...
- Ugh annoying, kick 'em out!
So they got exiled.
They were already envied for their mysterious, beautiful looks even among fellow elves, so good riddance.
Elves drove dark elves beyond the western world line.
Chased past the western border on the common world map, left to wander homeless.
- DarknessFan) But we managed to settle underground and survive!
But dark elves were the opposite of elves.
With diligence and hard work, they built their own home.
They started hiding underground, away from elven eyes.
In an uncultivable environment, with extreme effort and talent, they forged a civilization.
But soon the Great War broke out.
- No, we just harvested!
- This ain't right, total bullshit!
- Kkyaaak! All crops dead!!!
The Great War hit, land soaked in blood and rotted.
Plus, elves aren't underground dwellers.
To top it off, no sunlight led to skin inflammations.
"No way they've survived this long?"
Great War famine.
Plus various skin diseases from no sun.
Surviving till now was impressive.
But eventually, underground beasts cornered them.
- DarknessFan) That's why we need the World Tree!
With a World Tree, they could get nutrients even underground without sun.
Also enable farming, solving food issues.
Dark elves had no other options.
"Hmm..."
From the memes, dark elves looked gaunt, skin red and inflamed.
Diseases from no sunlight.
- Yeah, sunlight's unavoidable
- Is there any life that can live without sun?
- Pushed to the absolute edge ㅅㅂ; those elf bastards
Even medieval folks saw sun as essential.
Consensus was, nothing to be done about it.
Live without sun?
Impossible, general view.
- So no food and no sun is the big issue
- Missing the two most important things;
- Then just go to surface?
Of course, go to surface for sun?
- DarknessFan) This is beyond the western world line, unknown lands.
ㄴ DarknessFan) Step out and become beast food...
But dark elves' home was beyond the mapped 'world' to begin with.
Not as bad as outer beast lands, but likely overrun by beasts long ago.
Sneaking out one or two was fine; group exodus was suicide.
"Can't stay down forever though."
Conversely, prolonged no sun brought weird diseases creeping in.
- Judak*) So just fix the sunlight?
ㄴ DarknessFan) ?
ㄴ DarknessFan) Uh, yeah... but how?
Modern world has simple solutions.
As a home guard and honorary dark elf, I guaranteed it.
ㄴ Fr, cast some sun-replacement magic?
ㄴ ㅋㅋㅋ Judak that's god-level
ㄴ What are you planning now...
"Nutrient deficient?"
Then get nutrients elsewhere.
I immediately went to the shop, food category.

Deep underground, the dark elf city of Lumelin.
The city surviving on torches and magic felt oppressively gloomy, like a dead city.
"Ugh, so itchy."
"Any spare ointment?"
"Sold out ages ago. No sunlight ointment."
Long without sun, various diseases afflicted dark elves' bodies.
Basic itchiness and osteoporosis, severe pain in worst cases.
They used so-called sunlight ointment magic salve, but production was minimal.
And barely effective, so sunlight was dark elves' eternal problem.
"...What to do."
Roenn, dark elves' representative and sole active gallery anon, clutched her long ears in agony.
Go to surface? Who knows what's there.
Stay underground? Dark elves wasting away...
Even the kidnapped sapling needed sunlight to grow.
Now hostile to elves, Roenn was going mad.
[Item delivered!]
Then, a box dropped from thin air in Roenn's office.
"!"
Startled by the sudden box, she cautiously checked the name on it.
"Multi... vitamin?"
