Chapter Title: Pure Elf's Rebellion
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pure Elf: This is a scam contract!
Pure Elf: You think this'll make me submit?!
Pure Elf: Take off this disgusting blue badge right now!
"This is outrageous!"
Elf Knight Captain Eliana slammed her fist on the desk, her body trembling with rage.
Her usually composed golden blonde hair was sticking out in disarray from shock.
The thing that drove the famously calm Eliana into such a frenzy was just one message.
[Isekai Destruction Gallery's moderator armband holder.]
[Issuing blue badge. Congratulations!]
"Eeeeek!"
What was a moderator armband?
It was a manager role where a blue badge appeared next to your nickname, forcing you to manage the gallery.
The job involved kicking out trolls and safeguarding the gallery's peace.
In short, unpaid slave labor.
So she urgently protested to Judak via the admin chat.
Judak☆: Don't like it?
Pure Elf: Who would?! Remove it now!
Judak☆: Well, I can't force the role on you, true.
Judak☆: OK, taking it off.
At least Judak wasn't a total bastard.
He seemed to reluctantly accept Eliana's firm refusal.
Judak☆: (Gallery ban list gif)
Judak☆: But if you're quitting, leave the gallery entirely lol
Pure Elf: ??
Judak☆: You've seen top-secret level 1 gallery info as a manager; can't just go back to civilian life.
Judak☆: If you're leaving our organization, stake your life and go...!
Pure Elf: This guy's totally insane!!!
Pure Elf: !!!
But Judak was even crazier than Eliana thought.
She'd only seen the admin chat as a manager—how was that top-secret level 1...?
Judak simply had no intention of letting Eliana go.
"Judak. So this is how you wanna play?"
Eliana's vision went dark, but she wasn't out of options.
She glanced at the gallery's mood.
- But is Judak really sane? Of all people;
- Pure Elf is absolutely NO!!!
- Lol gallery's totally doomed
- How Judak ruins the gallery...jpg
"As expected."
It was chaos right before total meltdown.
Everyone was voicing concerns about her getting the armband.
Externally, she was the Elf Knight Captain, but inside the gallery, she was the weird elf "Pure Elf" who spoke in that quirky style.
And Eliana decided to exploit this atmosphere exactly.
Title: Hello everyone~ This is your new mod Pure Elf!
Author: Pure Elf★
I've actually wanted the armband for a long time.
Listen up to my mod goals, folks.
First off once I get it!
I'll execute the gallery bro who stole my old alt 'Cute Newbie Elf'.
Next, second!
I'll mass-ban all the elf-haters I've always despised.
Finally, for dwarves and dark elves I don't get along with, full species IP ban so they can't even enter the gallery!
From now on, the gallery will be ruled by the Pure Elf Squad!

- Oh fuck; gallery's really dying
- Judak, it's not too late!!! Snap out of it!!!
- This is the righteous gallery now; everyone kneel and bow yo
ㄴ Pure Elf Squad my ass, elf retard;
ㄴ What're you saying yo?
ㄴ You're done for too lol
"Good, the reactions are ice cold."
Leaders can't solo forever.
If you push ahead against public opinion, that's a dictator.
No one can ignore the masses.
- Judak explain the mod selection criteria!
- Judak reflect and drop 10,000 colas!
- Couldn't buy tuna cans this morning! Restock!
- Fr real, mad as hell over five tuna cans
ㄴ Lmao what are these idiots?
Even if the opinion had some flaws.
Soon enough, Judak actually posted a clarification.
Title: It's me. Y'all want an explanation, but if this goes on
"As expected! Justice prevails!"
Eliana grinned in victory.
She immediately clicked Judak's post.
Rider.
(Kamen Rider gif)
"What?"
Judak was even less sane than she thought.

- Can't read the room huh;
- Judak this isn't the time for jokes fr
- You good with public opinion like this?
ㄴ Judak☆) Then you wanna be mod?
ㄴ But thinking about it, there's gotta be a good reason Judak picked her lol
Title: It's me
(Serious dwarf face gif)
Anyone who fucks with me gets modded.
Just kidding.
But actually not kidding.
Got beef? I'll mod you lol

- This dude's just unhinged lmao
- We dub this dictator
- But what can gallery bros do? Spam comments with curses? Lol
"Oh no..."
Was it ending so powerlessly?
Then, a notification dinged in Eliana's system.
[Admin chat notification arrived.]
"...Gulp."
Eliana felt tension she'd never known even in beast subjugation as she opened the admin chat.
And there was Judak's terrifying message, as if he'd seen it all coming.
Judak☆: Lmao give up
Judak☆: In return, I'll send cola cans sometimes heh
Pure Elf: Eeee! Aaaah!!!!
Thus, the first rebellion of a lifetime mod ended pointlessly.

Notice) Ah... Isekai Destruction Gallery... Declaring 「Conscription」...
(Human race army mascot, Bingdol's thumbs-up gif)
Starting today, IDG implements conscription.
Conscription criteria as follows
.
.
Nah, none of that. I'll pick whoever I want lol
Q) Why this suddenly?
A) Considering zero applicants despite repeated mod recruitment calls
If no one steps up, I'll just point and pick lol
If selected as noble IDG guardian?
Lmao then you're a proud, excellent IDG worker
Now work for IDG
Hope you'll strive as a fine mod for IDG
Q) What if I refuse mod duty?
A) IDG shows no mercy to draft dodgers
Will strip draft dodger of gallery bro status and forcibly deport
9999-day ban cool?
If you're a dragon or long-lived race like "9999 days? Pfft lol" then try me

ㄴ Judak☆) I'll give you candy
ㄴ Candy my ass lmao
ㄴ Ujolee is Judak as expected
"Whatever, gotta do this. About time to pick mods anyway."
Rolling around on the bed from the fallen young lady, doing gallery stuff under soft lighting.
Conscription mod picks were a time-honored tradition from his past life.
Thanks to that, the gallery was in pandemonium.
- As long as it's not me!!
- First time in half a life playing such tense hide-and-seek lol
Please, just one guy steps up.
And please let him be normal.
In that vibe, I deliberately halted activity as a warning, catching lurking gallery bros too.
Title: It's me
Author: Judak☆
Think slacking activity or lurking avoids getting picked? Nope
Might add insolence penalty and prioritize you?

- Judak oppa... gotta do this?
- Ah; was hiding good
- Lmao dark elf lurkers scrambling out
- Ah human bastards rampaging again...
- Was cozy...
ㄴ Beastkin come out quick lol
ㄴ Beastkin welcome lol
ㄴ Humans weirdly hyped for beastkin;
Of course, there was backlash.
Not everyone enjoyed this.
Naturally, with everyone draft-eligible, uneasy gallery bros started protest posts.
Quality Post) Judak never served vibes hard
Conscription bullshit
Think sudden draft with zero prior notice flies?
100% gonna backfire or flop later
Bet Judak never served

- Fr lol
- Lol what country runs conscription like this
- Dragging healthy folks as mods normal? Judak?
ㄴ Judak☆) Yup did it tho?
ㄴ ???
ㄴ Spouting nonsense again lol
ㄴ Judak☆) No fr in my country you go mandatory right at adulthood
ㄴ Judak☆) I went too obvs
ㄴ Judak☆) .
ㄴ Judak☆) Ah fuck suddenly reminiscing. Why dredge that shit? Wanna force empathy by modding you all?
ㄴ ??? Fr?
ㄴ Really sorry
ㄴ Reactions off the charts, for real?
ㄴ What country you from...
But all backlash could be countered with facts.
I actually did it?
Hate it? I'll make you do it too.
Thanks to that, backlash vanished, leaving only hardcore hide-and-seek.
Catching someone meant gallery deletion or lifetime mod—terrifying stakes.
The gallery flowed cold like thin ice, minute by minute, second by second.
Title: It's me lol
Picked one mod
No shitposts.
No tactical nuke experience.
Picked on solid grounds like that. Congrats to the new mod everyone.

By evening, unearthed one talent.
Everyone reflexively checked their nick, then relief washed over the survivors.
Maybe from near-death endorphin rush, comments were a sight.
- So Judak who got modded?
Around then, to that relatively sane comment, I was about to reply myself.
ㄴ Soon-Dead-Vamp★ Hi everyone. It's your cute vampire.
The talent I picked greeted personally.
Instantly, all commenting halted.
After long silence, one comment broke it.
- Ah fuck we're screwed
- Logging off first. Good luck y'all
It was the self-proclaimed thousand-year progenitor vampire with the creepy concept, 'Soon-Dead-Vamp'.
