[MeleeSpy: The Rebellious Warrior EunuchBro Episode 5

???: “Ohohoho~ I must touch Pikochu’s belly~ Hohoho~”

EunuchBro: “Kill all living beings in this area… that’s the order… I’ll start with that snake-like fellow first…”

???: (deflects EunuchBro’s nails with his gaze) “What are you..? Ah-. The servant of the black mage who’s been brutally murdering people lately… ‘EunuchBro’, is it-?”

EunuchBro: “?! Black mage..? That can’t be… my master is clearly… the ‘Transcendent’ who rules the universe…”

???: “Kekeke~ Foolish one… You’ve forgotten everything because of black magic… Even memories of ‘her’…”

EunuchBro (raging): “Don’t lie! Insulting my master is-. Insulting me… ‘Massacre mode ac.ti.va.tion-.”

???: ‘… He’s slaughtered too many humans… He’s already transcended causality…’

???: ‘But if I restore his memories, he might eliminate the black mage he calls master… ‘Black Magic Removal Technique Form 3’-. ‘Shining Road’-.’

EunuchBro: “?!?!?! Argh!!! These memories?!?!?! Aaaaargh!…”

“Ah… So that’s how it was… ‘Master’… no, ‘Dark Darkness of Darkness’… I will surely kill you with my own hands…”]

No plot twist at all.

It really was EunuchBro Episode 5.

He posted it so confidently that I was expecting something like ‘what you thought was EunuchBro but actually information post,’ but no.

This guy doesn’t understand the concept of double-baiting.

…I’m pissed off. Should I leave a nasty comment?

Suddenly, a ‘good idea’ flashed in my mind.

Maybe I could ask him about the hidden piece in the Imperial Arena?

He seems to know more information than any other community user, so he might know about it.

I saw a post like this in the community a few days ago.

[Lurorep: That MeleeSpy guy

Isn’t he the one who topped the Surviving as Paladin world rankings like it was nothing?

Seeing his username reminds me. He was a popular user in the Paladin gallery too.

Pretty sure he’s the same guy who always bragged about being a level 999 paladin and gave unsolicited advice.]

– Comments –

[Ppamko: Oh yeah lol he kept posting brag posts on Inven until he got banned lol]

[MeleeSpy: Delete this, kid]

If he was world rank 1, he probably knows all sorts of information.

After some deliberation, I decided to send MeleeSpy a private message.

I’ll have to meet him eventually to stop the dimensional gate in the capital anyway.

It wouldn’t hurt to build rapport from now.

[hi MeleeSpy]

Even after waiting for over 30 minutes, there was no reply.

…There is another way.

[Really enjoyed EunuchBro episode 5 haha so good]

I’m starting to scare myself with how comfortable I’ve become with lying.

MeleeSpy, do I really have to go this far?

[MeleeSpy: You… the legendary 3rd Knight?]

He took the bait immediately.

So he does remember me.

Come to think of it, he commented on my briefly posted “Barbarian Girl” story saying he enjoyed it, and when I defeated Charon last time, he showed his approval by calling me “the legendary 3rd Knight.”

He clearly thinks I’m a righteous and good paladin.

[I have a question for the game level 999 paladin]

[MeleeSpy: I see… I’ll specially allow just one question. Ask away]

I really want to punch this guy.

[Do you know what the hidden piece in the Imperial Arena is and where it’s located?]

[I’m around there btw haha]

[MeleeSpy: Ah, ‘that’ you mean?]

[MeleeSpy: That’s…]

He told me information about the hidden piece.

This is good.

[thx for the info]

[MeleeSpy: Continue to work with the other two knights to maintain a clean community]

[ok]

[MeleeSpy: You’re quite short with your senior]

[🖕]

There’s a limit to how much I can humor him. Anyway, thanks.

I closed the message window.

“Yaaah! Huaah!”

“A warrior should be able to block this easily! Take this! Starburst Stream!”

Noah is busy getting attacked by Dodo.

“I-I think I’m getting the hang of it. One more time…”

“No, we’re done. If you act smart with me one more time in front of Master Malak, I’ll kill you.”

“Damn it!”

So Kanto couldn’t even touch Lakye’s fingertip.

We’re all equally bored.

…Maybe I should post a story too?

The only posts I’ve made are the Barbarian series. I’ve been a bit worried about raising suspicion.

What if I write and post an impressive prologue? It would change everyone’s perception of me.

My nickname is already changing from “Barbarian Enthusiast” to “Legendary 3rd Knight.”

Even Noah, who could be considered the biggest risk factor right now, is keeping his mouth shut.

Despite his silly behavior and appearance, he seems to be quite tight-lipped.

…Come to think of it, Noah has never talked about himself.

He’s never mentioned Earth, the game, or being possessed in front of the inhabitants of this world.

I’m starting to think he might be the type who has a lot of thoughts but has trouble acting on them.

Alright. Let’s post a story.

I’ll make it so no one would even suspect I’m Roa.

It’s definitely not because my creative spirit is boiling over.

…What should I write?

First of all, traditional fantasy is absolutely out.

It would likely end up like “Steel Knight,” the first community literature that was posted.

The community users are Earthlings who have been possessed in a fantasy world.

And not a fantasy world full of dreams and hope, but a demonic apocalypse fantasy world.

These people wouldn’t want to read traditional fantasy stories that reek of sweat.

While scrolling down and contemplating what subject to write about, I found a novel written by Siwoo.

So he’s following the trend too.

The title is quite unusual. Let’s take a look.

[MorningTentSetupKnight: I Became a Sex Parrot Episode 1

Snack wrappers piled in the corner, leftover chicken from yesterday, and tissues rolling around on the floor.

I was looking for a new novel in this perfect paradise.

“Sigh, there’s really nothing to read. Isn’t there any novel that’s fresh and smells like a masterpiece?”

Novels these days are all garbage, you know?

Whenever I look, it’s always the same content—regression, revenge, academy, villainess, overpowered characters—just a pile of garbage without an ounce of originality.

Even works that claim to be original have the same characters when you look deeper.

The proud blonde princess with blue eyes.

The white-haired saint who’s always taking revenge.

The hot-tempered red-haired twin-tailed magician.

The gloomy, friendless, big-breasted mentally unstable girl with black hair.

“I just want to taste a fresh, innocent novel for once!”

The bed springs squeak, signaling they want to be put out of their misery.

I ignored it.

“Haah… I just want to devour one good novel.”

Looking for new releases was the same. All familiar tastes.

Among them, the one I disliked the most was the novel at the top.

“Why is this mass-produced work ranking first in new releases?”

A predictable novel with academy, regression, obsession, and angst.

“This is why fresh novels can’t rise to the top!”

Time to show them the bitter taste of fear?

“Well met. I sentence you to 5,700 characters of sex spam! Let’s go~!”

I posted dozens of comments filled only with the word “sex.”

“Whew, I can sleep soundly tonight! Who am I? The guardian of conscience! The cheerful, witty reader!”

I lay in bed with satisfaction and tried to sleep.

I couldn’t fall asleep, so I checked my phone and saw several text messages.

The moment I checked them, I was possessed into that novel.

“Sex…”

Fucking sex.

(You have been possessed in another world. The reason you were possessed is not because you criticized, nor because you read a 1,000-chapter novel with only 1 view per latest chapter.)

(Dropping 5,700 characters of just “sex” and running away! You hit-and-run scum! I’ll curse you, the epitome of vulgar hit-and-run scum!)

(The curse of only being able to say one word: sex parrot curse~! Good luck!)

After receiving this one-sided isekai notice from what might be a god or a crazy woman or a Korean woman, I decided to assess the situation first.]

-…

This is confusing. Is this Siwoo’s autobiographical novel?

The writing was such a mess that using words like “hit-and-run scum” and “Korean woman” openly seemed like a minor issue in comparison.

It’s a fantasy possession story similar to our situation, so it might create some relatability, but the genre is problematic.

Comedy is one of the hardest genres to handle.

This “sex parrot” concept is particularly challenging. How can you develop a story when the protagonist can only say “sex”?

Can an obvious amateur like Siwoo handle this well?

I honestly don’t think so. At best, he’ll write 30-50 episodes and then either stop the series or claim he’s going to remake it and run away.

I skimmed through a few more works.

Well, they were all pretty much the same. Not only was the writing poor, but the choice of subject matter was terrible from the start.

Still, I could learn from their mistakes, which is fortunate.

I’m planning to set my story in the modern world, at least.

All users came from modern Earth, and everyone dreams of returning.

They probably want to read novels that smell like 21st century Earth.

So then…
