"Wow, it's legendary."
The effect of turning the dragon into a moderator was tremendous.
Pulling Pellisi, aka Dragon Will Die, into the moderator role had been a stroke of genius.
Points started flooding in like I'd exploited a money-duplication bug.
- Is Judak asleep?
- Is it time for the tactical nuke?
- Tactical nuke incoming!
The one time management slacked off: the dead of night.
Even then, Pellisi was glued to the gallery with both eyes wide open.

ㄴ Aren't you active even at this hour?
ㄴ Fuck, where am I supposed to vent my stress then?
ㄴ Why vent your stress with naked orc pics?
Orc nudes, goblin gangbangs, Sludge Slime disassembly analyses.
How much suffering had the moderators endured?
But no tactical nuke could shake a dragon's mentality.
- Dragon Will Die) Fascinating. Do humans enjoy viewing such images as a hobby?
ㄴ No, fuck off.
ㄴ Please just kill all the perverts.
ㄴ (Praise her! Elf cock)
The gallery normalized during the graveyard shift.
Thanks to that, point intake increased by about 1.3 times!
On top of that, Pellisi had taken over the top floor of Jusak Magic Tower from the Explosion Mage.
With her own lair now, she could immerse herself in gallery duties day and night.

Dragon Will Die: Hmm, no matter how much I delete, it never ends.
Dragon Will Die: I'm deeply concerned that one of us might be slacking off.
Dragon Will Die: Wouldn't you agree, blue elf admin? :)
Pure Elf: Eek!
She even cracked down on Pure Elf's discipline.
Thanks to that, Pure Elf buckled down too, boosting intake to exactly 1.4 times.
Judak*: How are you moderating so fast?
Dragon Will Die: That's rich coming from you... We dragons can accelerate our thoughts.
Dragon Will Die: Managing a bunch of humans' collective monologues is a breeze.
"Yongyong..."
The dragon-exclusive cheat buff enabled one-dragon-army moderation.
Dragon Will Die: What do you think?
Judak*: (Crying cat giving thumbs-up emoji)
Dragon Will Die: Rewarding competent subordinates is a queen's virtue :)
She occasionally chatted me up demanding repayment, but that was simple.
[Royal Rose Tea Time Set] - 200p
[Algray 2g, 100-pack] - 15p
Dragon Will Die: As expected, you never disappoint^^
Just returning a tiny fraction of the points she'd earned made her thrilled.
She was the ultimate cost-performance moderator.
"But why am I the queen?"
I got why she called herself a subordinate since I was Judak, the formal boss.
But what was this queen business?
Judak*: Why am I the queen? I'm a dude.
Dragon Will Die: Hmm? Do you think me so hard of hearing?
Dragon Will Die: Half-elf Archmage Beauty Great One?
Dragon Will Die: I saw your statue in the square too. Quite the beauty :)
"No, fuck."
There was a slight misunderstanding, but recruiting the moderator was a success.
From now on, Pellisi would earn points as my capable blue slave-moderator.
Especially since she was favorably disposed toward me, it felt like I'd gained a reliable ally, lightening my shoulders.
And above all, Pellisi didn't hate the moderator position.
She even saw receiving the title from me as a kind of gift.
Dragon Will Die: Now that I've received the moderator title, I must repay you. Is there anything you desire?
A few days later, Pellisi suddenly offered me a gift.
"A gift?"
I didn't need any.
I already had more gifts rotting in my warehouse than I could handle.
I was about to reply that it was fine.
"Wait."
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
No matter how airheaded she seemed, Pellisi was a full-fledged dragon.
Ordinary magic wouldn't faze her.
"Then..."
Judak*: Can you teleport me somewhere?
*
At first, it was fine.
Sure, I'd been surveilled, confined, and kidnapped, but it beat the rabbit hole.
But as time dragged on, I could feel Soon-Dead Bloodsucker's obsession intensifying.
Her darkening eyes and increasingly frequent blood draws were proof.
'At this rate, she'll drain me dry first.'
My goal as the gallery's Judak was to moderate until I naturally passed away in old age.
Dying mummified by a moderator vampire was not on the agenda.
Plus, Soon-Dead Bloodsucker, who'd been decent at her job, started neglecting moderator duties after I arrived.
"Time to really head back."
It was time to go home.

[IP – 1.20.2]
"Found you."
First thing: track my own IP.
IPs carried meaning.
Even in the modern world, you could glean basics like carrier from an IP.
Sure, modern users could hide locations if they wanted...
"But not here."
The IP visible to me as Judak had to be honest.
From analyzing it since possession, the leading 1 was the race.
20 seemed to be the rough location dividing the isekai map into n parts.
And the trailing 2 was...!
"No clue."
I had no idea.
But knowing the middle 20 was enough.
Soon-Dead Bloodsucker's initial ruin matched my current one.
And it hadn't moved locations.
Dragon Will Die: Teleport, you say? Of course. Just give me the coordinates.
"Looks like it works."
That simplified things.
I immediately chatted Pellisi.
Judak*: There's a ruin in Kellerton territory. Dead center. Yeah.
Dragon Will Die: Destination?
Judak*: Random spawn in Kellerton.
I set a vague random spot in Kellerton to avoid specifics.
Now, all that remained was reaching the ruin's center.
I'd spent about a month in the ruin, so I knew the layout.
With Soon-Dead Bloodsucker out briefly, I slipped out and headed to the garden.
"Center should be around here..."
I arrived near the garden fountain.
Dragon Will Die: Ready?
Judak*: Go go.
I double-checked my position and replied to Pellisi.
Everything was perfect.
"Judak? Why are you here?"
Until I ran into Soon-Dead Bloodsucker.
She'd already returned from her outing.
Cold sweat trickled as I saw her tilt her head.
"Out for another walk?"
"The garden suits my taste more than I thought."
"Let's head back now. It's cold."
"Um, can't do that."
If she approached now, she'd teleport with me to Kellerton.
And she was closing in real-time.
No reason to stop came to mind, and my brain went blank.
If she caught me trying to escape?
'I'd really get drained dry.'
Her obsession seemed to deepen the longer we were together.
"St-stop!"
I thrust out my hand decisively and shouted.
Thankfully, she froze in classic rom-com fashion.
"Wh-why?"
"Don't move from that spot no matter what!"
My ultimate combo: absolute and stop.
The moment she halted with startled bunny eyes.
-Hum
"Ah...! Judak, you!"
In an instant, my surroundings flashed bright, filling my vision with warm light.
Whether she knew what was happening, Soon-Dead Bloodsucker lunged toward me...!
"Gasp!"
But success.
When I reopened my eyes, I was in some Kellerton alley.
"Yes!"
Season 12 Ruin Escape Operation.
Finally, homecoming achieved.
Turning my head, I spotted the spirit sword that had followed!
"You escaped too."
It had noticed in time and bailed.
Overjoyed, I grabbed the spirit sword—then realized.
"Wait, what about the holy sword?"
*
"I got Melona."
Psych, no I didn't.
Opening the underground warehouse door in the familiar street revealed the flashy bunker interior.
I inhaled the homey scent and let out a blissful sigh.
"Home is best..."
The holy sword... well, it'd survive the ruin fine.
Pushing holy sword worries aside, I entered my room to find something squirming under the blankets.
"What?"
Lifting them revealed Penny curled up asleep.
I grabbed her and ruffled her hair wildly.
"Eek! Wh-who?! M-Mal-phite?"
"So much has happened. I'm beat."
"You're back!"
Penny sprang up joyfully, even as her face and hair got messed up.
Good, she'd managed alone at home.
No, she'd thrived.
She'd eaten everything I'd sent without missing a bite, and her complexion looked healthier.
"Here, take this."
[Strawberry Milk Cake] - 38p
No Melona, but cake yes.
For strawberry-loving Penny, as a reward for her hard work.
"Yay!"
Back home, satisfaction max.
But before fully crashing, there was business.
Soon-Dead Bloodsucker's expression right before teleport still haunted me.
I fired up the gallery to check notifications.
"Surprisingly quiet?"
No chat from her.
No new posts or chats.
[Admin Chat]
Soon-Dead Bloodsucker: Lizard, was that you?
Dragon Will Die: (Alpaca? Dragon shrugging wings emoji)
Just that short exchange with Pellisi.
"Whew, probably fine?"
Felt ominous, but no big argument ensued.
I was about to ignore it and dive into bed.
-Boom!
"What?"
A massive impact shook the bunker violently.
