Taboo (1)
And just like that, the first page of the comments was already full. Not even 30 seconds had passed since I'd posted.
The comment section was pure chaos.
It had every right to be. I'd just posted a photo of us eating with the same background, and the next one showed it covered in corpses and blood.
Above all, these were the first confirmed real-life images of intruders in gallery history.
It was totally flipping out. Even 574F, who'd been my guiding light all this time, was showing a surprised reaction.
To him, this meant he hadn't expected them this soon.
But the replies were pouring in, praising him.
Questions kept flooding in nonstop.
My head throbbed from the flood of comments. I plopped down on the floor and hammered at the holographic keyboard.
I took a deep breath and replied to each question one by one.
Three adventurers bursting in while I was resting. The early panic. The moment I alone realized we were enemies. My identity blown by spilling coffee. Preemptive strike. Activating Death Absolute Realm, trip to the Shinigami Realm, then unleashing Instant Death Skill.
I gave a rough rundown of what happened.
Most were gasps of admiration and praise.
But a few weren't.
But they weren't entirely wrong.
If I'd been completely relaxed from the start, killing without a moment's hesitation, I could've handled it safer and cleaner.
On the flip side, there were opposite reactions too.
Fair points. But sharp replies fired back at those comments.
Comments defending me kept coming, but the criticism didn't bother me at all.
Quite the opposite.
Having such humane people in the gallery felt good.
As long as they kept that perspective, they'd warn me if I grew numb to brutality. Though I hoped never to meet humans in this tower again...
Then.
A highnick with the total opposite vibe from the soft-hearted ones appeared.
"Oh. New highnick."
His cold tone gave me vibes.
Maybe the vanguard highnick SSS Item Puller mentioned.
His next comment dropped. Same text space, but massive presence.
Trivial divine power, huh.
No reply. Looked like he really dipped after saying so.
Hm. Wonder if I can get something from that guy later.
Don't really wanna tangle tho.
As I thought that, Item Puller asked.
Yeah, 200k must be huge.
Then I mentioned the other gain.
Vacation seemed a new concept.
Makes sense...
Everyone but me was already chilling...
So SSS Item Puller seemed focused on gold.
Then SSS Item Puller offered more help.
Was waiting for this comment.
I'd thought of looting but no clue how to handle.
I closed the gal and headed to the corpses.
