The Spamming Incident
The Spamming Incident
You don't need help?
〈Castaway★(2ch): May I ask why you don't need help?〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): I shall ask you instead. What kind of help can you possibly give to me?〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): I can provide support with items including food, weapons, or clothing.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): As I thought. It seems items can be exchanged through this thing called a Gallery.〉
Yeon Wol-rin had already figured out the reason I spoke to her earlier and the fact that items could be exchanged.
'Her intuition is almost on the level of Yoo Hyun-min-hyeong.'
Aside from that, seeing her say she didn't need help made it seem like her situation was actually fine.
〈Castaway★(2ch): Is everything alright on your end by any chance?〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): No matter how much of a minion of the Old God they may be, they cannot carelessly set foot on the land I rule.〉
It seemed to mean she was fine.
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): Furthermore, the Old God does not have much time left either. The moment I reach the stage of God-Demon, I shall strike down the Old God and establish a true Demonic Path World.〉
God-Demon? Demonic Path World?
'For now, Yeon Wol-rin's realm must be that of a Transcendent, right?'
From what I had heard from Rubyel and Cheong Wol-hwa, I knew that Transcendents were called things like Half-Gods or Hyeongyeong.
But hearing what Yeon Wol-rin was saying now, it felt like she was aiming for the realm beyond a Transcendent.
'I don't know if that's even possible, though.'
Seeing her speak so confidently, I wondered if there might be a possibility.
'Anyway, I'd be grateful if she kills the Old God of her own accord.'
〈Castaway★(2ch): What exactly is a Demonic Path World?〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): A world ruled by the principles of the Demonic. A world liberated from all oppression, where those with power establish order and rule.〉
"......."
To summarize it in one sentence, it meant Yeon Wol-rin intended to rule the world.
'How am I supposed to take this?'
Should I cheer her on since it's better than the Old God ruling?
Or should I try to persuade her to change her mind even now?
〈Castaway★(2ch): Um, many people have already died, so how about we all join forces?〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): Do you think joining forces can kill a god? Only another god can kill a god.〉
'Does she mean there's no reason to join forces because other people aren't helpful?'
If you looked closely, she had a talent for talking in circles.
〈Castaway★(2ch): Then when will you reach that God-Demon stage?〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): It could be today, or it could be ten years from now.〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): So you're saying you don't know.〉
I replied, feeling myself gradually getting used to Yeon Wol-rin's way of speaking.
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): That response, which seems to look down on me, is truly unpleasant.〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): I'm just being honest. It looks like the remaining people will all die before you establish your Demonic Path World.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): Are you trying to spout nonsense that people won't die if we join forces?〉
As Yeon Wol-rin said, joining forces didn't mean people wouldn't die.
〈Castaway★(2ch): But we could probably reduce the ten people who would die down to three or four.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): I and my cultists are already living safely. Your words sound to me like you are asking me to protect other people.〉
'Certainly, if they are living safely...'
She wouldn't feel the need to join forces.
'Come to think of it, she did say she didn't need help at the beginning.'
Also, based on the conversation so far, she wasn't the type of person persuasion would work on.
It seemed right to help Cheong Wol-hwa's side while excluding Yeon Wol-rin from Channel 1.
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): However, I shall show mercy and accept people on the condition that they join the Divine Cult.〉
Huh?
'Join the cult? Is she planning to rule them in advance?'
It was just my thought, but there was a high possibility that the moment they joined the Demonic Cult, they would live under Yeon Wol-rin's rule.
Of course, since it seemed safe, they would be able to survive somehow, but personally, it wasn't something I felt inclined toward.
'Unless the people want it themselves.'
At the very least, I didn't think I would be the one to suggest it first.
〈Castaway★(2ch): I appreciate the offer, but I don't think the people would want that.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): A refusal, then. That is fine as well.〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): Yes. If you happen to change your mind, please let me know.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): It seems contact is also possible. How do I do it?〉
"......?"
I thought she would say she didn't need this either, but unexpectedly, Yeon Wol-rin asked how to contact me.
'I don't think her mind will change later, though.'
I wondered if she had some other ulterior motive, but since Yeon Wol-rin and I were in different worlds, even interference was difficult.
'Of course, I can interfere unilaterally.'
After thinking that, I figured she might have just been asking, so I explained it to her simply.
〈Castaway★(2ch): If you post in the Gallery, I'll see it and contact you later.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): Using the Gallery as a carrier pigeon... Can it do other things besides that?〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): It can do many things, but it'll be difficult in Channel 1.〉
Looking at Channels 3 and 4, all sorts of things like photos, videos, and broadcasts were possible, but not in Channel 1.
Because people avoided the Gallery, the Gallery level didn't rise, so no functions were unlocked.
'They probably can't even take photos in Channel 1.'
Of course, I could increase the experience of the Channel 1 Gallery to unlock them, but naturally, that required points.
〈Castaway★(2ch): Functions are unlocked only when many people use the Gallery.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): So for now, there is nothing else but using it as a carrier pigeon.〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): Yes.〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): How do I use the Gallery?〉
Why was she asking that too?
〈Castaway★(2ch): Are you planning to use the Gallery?〉
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): At the very least, I have realized it is not a trap of the Old God. There is no reason not to use it.〉
It seemed she had been constantly doubting whether this was a trap of the Old God or not while talking to me.
Then, having judged that it wasn't a trap, Yeon Wol-rin seemed to intend to use the Gallery.
'Well... there's no harm in telling her.'
Thinking that it would be good in many ways if the Gallery became active, I told her without much thought.
〈Castaway★(2ch): You just have to post. And there's a point supply in the bottom right...〉
When I went ahead and even told her about the point supply, Yeon Wol-rin understood immediately.
〈ㅇㅇ☆(1ch): It was a simple thing. Then, I shall contact you if something happens next time.〉
Yeon Wol-rin ended the 1:1 chat after leaving those words.
Contrary to expectations, I couldn't get any help from Yeon Wol-rin, but I wasn't disappointed.
'If there's none, I just have to do what I can without it.'
Besides, it was possible that Yeon Wol-rin might reach the God-Demon stage and defeat the Old God.
If she defeated it, that would probably cause its own problems, but at least we were able to talk.
'Of course, it just means we can talk.'
It meant that persuading her was a separate matter.
'By the way, this fact...'
I wondered if I should tell Namgung Jin, but Yeon Wol-rin and I hadn't really shared any important conversation.
I just asked to cooperate, and it ended with Yeon Wol-rin refusing because she didn't feel the need.
'There's no need to make him worry by telling him for no reason.'
Thinking that, I turned my head and watched the duel between Sirien and Namgung Jin that was still unfolding.
The next day.
I woke up after spending the night in one bed with Sirien clinging to me and Tipina, who had sucked out my energy.
Tipina, who had sucked my energy, stared at me intently with eyes even more bewitching than before, but I tried my best to ignore her.
'It feels like she's waiting for me to pounce first or something.'
Anyway, I proceeded through the labyrinth as usual today and opened the Gallery to check from Channel 1...
'Huh?'
But when I actually entered Channel 1, I saw an unexpected sight.
[Heavenly Demon Descends! Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!]
[Heavenly Demon Descends! Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!]
[Heavenly Demon Descends! Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!]
[Heavenly Demon Descends! Ten Thousand Demons Prostrate!]
............
......
'What's this? This spamming?'
Looking at it, hundreds of pages were spammed with the exact same title.
Checking it, I could see that one person had posted dozens of them, and seeing that, I checked the Gallery experience.
'The Gallery experience hasn't accumulated as much as I thought.'
I thought the experience would have piled up quite a bit after this much spamming, but it hadn't.
Of course, it had piled up more than before, but in terms of percentage, it had only accumulated about 5%.
'Is there a limit to the amount of experience you can gain in a day?'
Anyway, I couldn't just watch this in silence, so I contacted Yeon Wol-rin immediately.
The other party has accepted the 1:1 chat.
〈Castaway★(2ch): Stop the spamming!〉
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): What is spamming?〉
Yeon Wol-rin had even set a nickname within a day.
'By the way, is it Cheonma?'
Just like Cheong Wol-hwa, it seemed the people of Channel 1 regarded nicknames as titles.
〈Castaway★(2ch): The act of repeatedly posting the same thing like you're doing now is called spamming.〉
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): Did you not say that functions are unlocked only if I write in the Gallery?〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): I checked today and found there's a limit. It only went up by about 5%.〉
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): 5 percent, I see. Then I only need to do this for 19 more days.〉
"......."
No, you're going to spam for 19 days?
〈Castaway★(2ch): The Gallery is a place other people use too. You shouldn't use it for such personal purposes.〉
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): Is it not a good thing for everyone if the Gallery functions are unlocked?〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): Instead, if you spam like this, other people can't use it. Just have normal conversations.〉
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): Normally... You mean I should exchange only meaningless stories like common rabble.〉
Yeon Wol-rin... I mean, Cheonma, said to only exchange meaningless conversations, but in a way, she hit the nail on the head.
〈Castaway★(2ch): That's right. Because everyone in other channels does that too.〉
In fact, in Channels 2 to 4, only posts without much meaning were uploaded every day.
Then occasionally, posts like rumors or information would go up, but usually, that wasn't the case at all.
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): Since you say that, I wish to see the posts of other channels as well. Tell me the way.〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): Posts from other channels?〉
Well, that wasn't difficult.
If I designated Cheonma as a Sub-Manager, she would be able to read posts from other channels.
'But didn't she say she was reaching the God-Demon realm?'
I thought about it, but I figured reading posts from other channels for a bit would be fine.
Besides, if she understood the atmosphere of other channels, she wouldn't spam like she was doing now.
〈Castaway★(2ch): Then I'll make it so you can read posts from other channels.〉
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): In what way?〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): It's the authority of the Integrated Channel Manager. If I designate you as a Sub-Manager, you can read the posts.〉
Along with my answer, I designated Cheonma as the Sub-Manager of Channel 1.
You have appointed the nickname, 'Cheonma', as the Sub-Manager of Channel 1.
And not long after, a somewhat satisfied response came from Cheonma.
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): I can read them.〉
〈Castaway★(2ch): Yes. Please read them and refrain from spamming like today.〉
〈Cheonma☆(1ch): I shall think about it.〉
Cheonma ended the 1:1 chat first with that answer.
Thinking that the spamming incident was resolved with this, I deleted all the spammed posts in Channel 1 to make it clean.
