- (Startled elf con)
- What the hell kinda monster is that?
- Unnecessarily slimy body makes it even grosser fml
- At that level it's not argh argh it's fuck fuck right?
Monsters raided the village.
On its own, this was commonplace in the isekai.
The problem was these were aquatic monsters, a first in this incident.
- Not even during the Great War were there guys like this
- Now they're spewing every kinda monster to make the invasion work somehow
- Aren't those low-grade monsters?
ㄴ Low-grade yeah but we can't deal with 'em fml
Merfolk were treated like zombies—low-grade monsters that weak.
Incredibly dumb and aggressive, but their defense and physical power matched ordinary folk.
Average villagers could beat them if they fought smart.
The issue was the rift forming under that water.
[Title: Just now, remote village update...jpg]
Some gallery folks curious so dropping an update.
(Village interior turned to wasteland stinking of fish)
(Villagers protesting to dispatched soldiers)
As you see, it's fucked ㅇㅇ
Killed all the merfolk, but no fix for the wrecked village or rift lol
So now village aunties grabbing soldiers by the collar yelling for a solution kekeke
Pay taxes you do the work kek
But soldiers are pretty pitiful tbh
(Pond bottom rift visible)
How tf do you even get in there?
Dive in with armor and you'll species-change to merfolk kek
Anyway gotta save these suin pics for the dream gallery bb
- Why's this guy so positive?
- Just the argh pics make the fish stench unbearable
- But what if merfolk come back up?
ㄴ Play hide-and-seek again
ㄴ OP lol kek
ㄴ (Screaming elf pic)
Investigation showed the rift didn't pop up overnight.
It'd been under the pond for ages, unnoticed till it burst.
"But why isn't the water draining?"
If it sucked up all the water we could handle it, but the rift sat quietly submerged.
Made it trickier.
Like a time bomb ticking in the village pond.
And the real problem was elsewhere.
- Fml where'd the fish go
- Fish in our village pond vanished?
ㄴ (Creepy merfolk pic)
ㄴ This is your fish
ㄴ Wtf give em back
Fish swimming near the portal in the water got sucked in.
Time passes, wave hits, they return as merfolk.
This tied into money issues too.
- Where'd my livelihood go?
ㄴ (Merfolk with buzzcut pic)
ㄴ (Leg-hairy merfolk pic)
Fishermen's livelihoods went into crisis.
Couldn't sell fish anymore, straight hit to income.
- What're the knights doing with our taxes!!!
ㄴ Dive down and catch some merfolk!
ㄴ Crazy talk
ㄴ Fr dive in plate armor?
- This seems like mages' job?
- Yeah magic could do electrocution or underwater explosion whatever
Above all, rift in the water.
Spread anxiety that it could happen anywhere water pooled.
Knights couldn't fix it, so expectations grew for mages.
But problems were similar.
[Title: Fml Magic Tower Low-Rank Mage Dealing with Angry Complaints IRL...jpg]
(Dispatched to village getting collar-grabbed pic)
(Elders spitting while protesting pic)
I was unemployed bum till mid-30s then landed magic tower apprenticeship ㅇㅇ
Suddenly merfolk complaints blow up?
So apprentice me gets sent out, but idk wtf to do
Been calmly explaining but they keep yelling just use lightning duh
Fml if I knew lightning magic would I be magic tower apprentice?
Who even mains lightning these days?
Already only know fireball one-trick, life's shit wanna quit fml
- Mages got the most brutal job kek
- Getting veins popped yelling at ya pisses me off just watching kekeke
- Judak* jealous of that fireball
ㄴ OP) ?
ㄴ ??
ㄴ Archmage but no gimps
Magic splits mainly into combat and non-combat.
Even combat magic has fire, water, earth, lightning, etc.—countless types.
Lightning especially was high-rank advanced magic.
No point telling an apprentice to shout "million volts!"
- Fr who learns lightning magic?
ㄴ Fml even cramming basic fire spells is hard wtf lightning
ㄴ Fr who'd be that dumb
ㄴ Few teachers, few books on lightning?
ㄴ Does a guy like that even exist?
ㄴ Zi Pok Law Mage) ^^ you fucks
Luckily one existed.
A fringe lightning mage.
Who even had the skills to build a magic tower.
"Right, so the Ground Explosion Mage can handle it?"
Crawling out of water?
Electricute the water and they grill like fish before emerging.
Thought it'd solve easy, but reality was tough.
[Title: Tried it anyway ㅇㅇ]
OP: Zi Pok Law Mage
Don't expect much
(Approaching the problem pond pic)
(Standing arms wide staring at sky for ages pic)
- ?
- Whatcha doing
- Use lightning pls
ㄴ Fr why suddenly sky worship?
ㄴ Zi Pok Law Mage) Fml don't talk casting
ㄴ ???
High-rank magic took long prep.
Even gathering mana staring at sky forever was an issue.
(Huge lightning bolt crashing to ground pic)
(Trees burning with massive boom pic)
- Wait
- Bro pond's right there
ㄴ Zi Pok Law Mage) Gulp kek
ㄴ ???
ㄴ No way...
ㄴ Zi Pok Law Mage) What you calling me a retard lightning mage who casts forever but can't aim and has to pray? You sure?
ㄴ Nah nobody said shit
ㄴ Kek lightning level
ㄴ Zi Pok Law Mage) What'd you say?
"No."
Couldn't even adjust strike point.
"Could hit his own head?"
Plus Ground Explosion Mage collapsed from mana overuse exhaustion.
Ultra precious magic.
"Tough to rely on mages."
But no giving up.
Luckily pre-possession modern Earth had galleries covering everything.
I'd lurked most, knew useless trivia.
"Among 'em, fishing gallery too."
And fishing gallery had a legendary troll post.
Posted, instant downvote/report terror, vanished—but I'd seen it.
[Fishing Gallery]
[Title: Still tons of float-lure noobs? Kek]

Seen battery fishing vid before.
Downvote/report bombed quick, but ghost me watched.
Shove rod-like thing at fish school, they float up.
Videographer just scooped with net.
"Cheat."
Server-boss cheat fishing.
Water pollution/ecosystem damage risks banned it in Korea.
But this is isekai.
Fists and survival over laws.
"Perfect for merfolk."
Fishing method? Nah.
[Lead-Acid Battery] - 70p
[Rod All-in-One] - 50p
Bought high-voltage battery for battery fishing from shop.
"Usually car battery size..."
Here fish were man-sized.
Replaced with dozens/hundreds voltage equivalent.
Last, rod to connect battery—done.
Bought gear, found Ground Explosion Mage at problem pond.
- Zi Pok Law Mage) Fml so what's your rank
ㄴ Rank doesn't matter~ kek retard
ㄴ Lightning mage useless anyway kek
ㄴ Zi Pok Law Mage) Mid-lowbie scrub fire fag pisses me off
ㄴ Next lightning kekekeke

"Still arguing?"
Ground Explosion Mage still hot-debating illegal mage gallery folks.
[Shipped 'Lead-Acid Battery', 'All-in-One Rod' to Zi Pok Law Mage!]
