The Saintess Takes Over the VA Gallery
After the narcissistic Oh Seeun left to finalize her sponsorship deal, a brief silence settled over the room. "...Now what?"
Honestly, if I placed my hand on my conscience and spoke plainly, it was true that ever since returning to this world I had done nothing but play games. This was a form of karmic retribution. Still... once I sank my teeth into something, devouring it with insane focus was basically my core nature. What was I supposed to do about that?
'She said she'd be back soon anyway, so it's awkward to start enjoying the leisure facilities right now... Maybe I should check that gallery I saw last time.'
I fiddled with my phone and entered the VA gallery. As I scrolled through the board packed with all kinds of posts, at some point I realized the corners of my mouth were slowly creeping upward without my permission.

With the spring season now over, the VA gallery was completely flooded with posts about the Saintess, who had overwhelmed the pros even in solo queue. It was hard to find anything else. The Saintess had completely taken over the gallery.
I started reading from the top post.
The bubble will pop once she reaches Grandmaster. She'll get destroyed in front of real pros. She's just a smurf who only stomps noobs.

Everyone shut your damn mouths.
The user called ThePope seemed to show up often in chat as well. He was quite active in the gallery, doing his own version of missionary work.
"Hmm... I guess he's my first fan..."
I set my interest in ThePope aside for now and moved on to the next post.
You thought the haters would say that? lol. Let's be real—if she had that skill, that voice, and a pretty face, it'd be actual cheating. But exactly because of that skill and that voice, her face has to be beautiful. Stop coping with your inferiority complex and just admit it already lololol.
To be honest, the clickbait title had confused me at first, but I was relieved to see it wasn't actually a diss post. Some of the haters who got baited were throwing tantrums, which was a little annoying, but since they couldn't actually do anything, I moved on to the next post.
If she slaughtered a Berserker, Ninja, Assassin, and Swordsman as Priest and even took down Raphez and Vlian, we have to admit it now, right? lololol Priest is the strongest class. Refute and you're bad at the game.
This post also felt like it was written to provoke other classes and farm clicks. "So in the end, the first post is the most loyal one?" "Still, most of them are saying good things, so maybe they're all loyal fans..."
While I was pondering this meaningless question and about to move to the next post—
"Whoa!"
"Hyaaat!?"
Oh Seeun suddenly appeared from behind and startled me.
"Ahaha... Your reaction is way too funny."
"...Do you have a death wish?"
"Woah woah... Calm down~"
Oh Seeun's face was much brighter than before, as if something wonderful had happened. She looked like she was teasing me.
"...What's so funny?"
When I spoke in a slightly grumpy tone, Oh Seeun smiled with an ominous glint in her eyes.
"I... saw something quite entertaining."
"...What?"
"You called me a narcissist earlier, didn't you?"
Ah. No way...
"...Did you see...?"
"You were enjoying it so much."
"Your mouth corners looked like they were about to hit the ceiling."
"...Shut up."
It seems I had said something I shouldn't have.
