Chapter 32 : Fanatic Hunt

Title: So the newbie is going to meet Wine-jwa now?

I don’t like how Wine-jwa instantly blocks anyone who mentions their embarrassing past.

Can’t the newbie just go and copy some memes?

ㄴ This b*stard’s gonna die soon too lol

ㄴ Sgeuk

ㄴ Uh uh uh

ㄴ But they’re especially flustered only with the newbie, seriously need some re-education for real for real for real

ㄴ Wine-jwa’s been super sensitive lately

ㄴ Seems like they’re taking out their frustration about the newbie on us;;

ㄴ I agree with this

Title: Heung heung! It’s slander to say Bonin-jjang is toxic!

Gallery Rule #1!

Do not carelessly disclose important information about Theme Stages or the Tower!

The ones who violated it first were the Bob-gallery users who got their necks flown off…!

ㄴ Is Farmer Wine-jwa’s meme that important information?

ㄴ It’s just because you’re embarrassed-(This account has been blocked.)

ㄴ Heo heok!!!

ㄴ The moderator, the moderator is killing people!!!!!!!

ㄴ ShortEarElf*) Heuheung~ To think the Tower Master has this side to them, how cute~

ㄴ AgedWine*) It’s not someone else’s business, so don’t tease…!

ㄴ PaperLover*) What’s the big deal. It’s not like it’s really them anyway.

ㄴ AgedWine*) The book scrap without a body should keep quiet…!

ㄴ PaperLover*) Getting triggered?

ㄴ Uh uh

ㄴ Is it time for a moderator fest after a long time?

Title: The fact is

We just need to wait for the newbie who will bring us fresh Wine-jwa memes lol

Honestly, it’s a dopamine party, how can you resist this? 

Wine-jwa is d*ad lol

What can you do to the newbie?

Other disappointed moderators will just unblock them~

Before  hunting the fanatics–

Do Yoon decided to take a short break with the hunters who had just regained their freedom.

Looking at the Object, who was resting their head on his thigh with a fresh smile, he felt his worries and anxieties gradually disappearing.

“Oppa-ya.”

“Pat my head.”

Do Yoon willingly reached out and caressed her white crown.

While watching the Object giggling happily at even that simple skinship, he turned his head, suddenly feeling gazes on him.

Four hunters instantly averted their gaze.

And there were two more who were openly staring.

Do Yoon didn’t shy away and openly watched the hunters who were there.

‘Looks like that muscle hunter isn’t here.’

Their visible strength seemed quite impressive, so they were probably doing well somewhere.

And the two hunters who first caught Do Yoon’s eye.

Among them, his eyes met with the skinny hunter and the female hunter with black hair.

“Why, what.”

“Curious.”

The hunter, unable to hold back their curiosity, eventually approached Do Yoon.

‘Why is this kid so skinny.’

There might be racial differences and potential, but it certainly didn’t look normal.

But that didn’t symbolize weakness.

Strong.

Do Yoon’s experiences and instincts accumulated in the Tower seemed to tell him so.

Although their circumstances of being imprisoned by the Object were the same, he clearly possessed strong martial prowess compared to other hunters.

“Eung?”

The gaze of the Object, who was smiling brightly while leaning on Do Yoon’s thigh, turned towards the approaching hunter.

The hunter, sensing the meaning of that gaze, stopped in their tracks.

Just this far.

This distance was what the Object allowed between Do Yoon and them.

“…As expected.”

“The Object is protecting you.”

“Eung…!”

As his hand stopped for a moment at the hunter’s question, the Object protested from right below.

“How, how on earth did you do it?”

“What are you talking about?”

“This isn’t a problem that can be solved with just one question. From persuading the Object, to the Hidden Piece. I’d like to sit down and ask

you thoroughly, but it doesn’t seem like that side will allow it.”

The skinny hunter, discerning the situation, faced Do Yoon with a polite attitude.

“So, I will fully cooperate with you for now.”

Hearing those words, Do Yoon barely managed to swallow the hollow laugh that was about to escape.

In fact, whether other hunters cooperated or not wasn’t his problem.

It would just take a little more time, but it was something he could do sufficiently on his own.

It might be a somewhat audacious and bold thought, but he had already gone through a ‘big event’.

“I will help you and the Object search for the remaining fanatics.”

“Good.”

“So, could you perhaps tell me? The exact content of the trial.”

The hunter subtly probed Do Yoon.

Probing for intentions, to prepare for a ‘just in case’ situation.

To be honest, it was a thought that not only he but other hunters would also have.

To come into deep contact, mentally or physically, with the Tower’s structures and their byproducts–

There was nothing more unsettling than that.

“Aren’t you trying to get a free ride too easily?”

“What if I tell you? Who knows if you’ll stab me in the back again later.”

“Even if that’s the case, among hunters-“

“Among hunters?”

For a moment, the skinny hunter was at a loss for words.

From the beginning, it was hunters like himself who had first shown a wary gaze towards Do Yoon.

No one tried to party with him, and he was even about to be attacked by one of the stronger hunters.

However, he had forgotten about it because he had decided to be shameless in the face of results.

“I misspoke. My apologies. I think I got a little excited because of the Hidden Piece.”

“Yeah, yeah, no need to be awkward between us.”

For a moment, Do Yoon almost found that hunter unfamiliar.

He suddenly got goosebumps, wondering if, unlike other hunters, this one might view him favorably.

“But don’t worry.”

Just as the sudden silence was about to feel heavy, Do Yoon opened his mouth.

“I have no intention of doing anything crazy like ‘you die, I die’ out of anger. Just cleanly pass the trial, catch the boss monster, and that’s it. That’s good, isn’t it?”

“…Right.”

“So don’t go out of your way to interfere.”

He cautioned, wary of the situation where they might still be obsessed with the ‘old manual’.

The skinny hunter nodded at those words and returned to his place.

Seeing him turn his back so readily, it seemed he felt some satisfaction with Do Yoon’s words.

He quietly looked down at the young Jinjo, who was huffing like a puppy and smiling bashfully.

He almost forgot due to her outwardly visible destructive power from moment to moment, but she was an Object.

An Object that played an important role in passing this trial.

Therefore, he must not let his guard down.

“Nice shot.”

Do Yoon, who had captured a picture of the lovely young Jinjo at a perfect angle, immediately disseminated it to the gallery.

(My Post) Title: Look at the Object and go!

(Photo of a young Jinjo looking this way with innocent eyes)

• It’s an Object I picked up from the Theme Stage.

It’s the Tower Master’s childhood, yes yes.

“Uh, what.”

However, not even a few seconds after posting, Do Yoon’s post was immediately made private.

‘Fast reaction time.’

Indeed, a moderator is a moderator.

There was no need to look for who was responsible.

[Didn’t the newbie just post something?]

[Ah sh*t I missed it]

[Moderator, stop your dictatorship right now]

[I want to see Farmer Tower Master too ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ]

[Is this a declaration of war right now?]

[Let’s blow up the gallery~]

Gallery users who missed the golden time began to vent their anger.

Wine-jwa, the main culprit of the incident, remained silent and continued to erase any talk about the Object.

‘But you were shaken, right?’

The charm of a gallery originally lies in feeling the thrill of receiving someone’s attention.

In other words, by simply showing interest in the bait Do Yoon threw, the users succeeded in drawing the attention of the ‘moderator’, the

gallery’s authority figure.

Title: So is the newbie clearing the Theme Stage well?

Nickname: PaperLover*

You didn’t follow any strange hunters, right?

You’ll probably catch the monsters on your own.

Looks like you persuaded the Object well too.

Now you just need to find the fanatics and suppress them well.

ㄴ It’s going smoothly for real lol

ㄴ Usually everyone gives up in the Theme Stage because their mentality breaks, but looks like they did well.

ㄴ My Post) Ah, I found a Hidden Piece and the trial content changed.

ㄴ Pardon?

ㄴ PaperLover*) ????

ㄴ My Post) Now I have to kill all the fanatics.

And at that moment.

The gallery atmosphere, which had been focused on the newbie’s progress, began to freeze in an instant.

• What do you mean? You found a Hidden Piece in the Object, not Bob?

• What, what’s going on?

• In all my life, I’ve never heard of finding a Hidden Piece somewhere other than a boss room?

•  Now even the Object is going to delay graduation.

• Ah, life, no, Bob-life, sh*t.

Title: Freezing the gallery for a bit 

Nickname: PaperLover*

• Newbie, just continue with the layer as you were, and send me a private message if anything strange happens.

And all the moderators currently in the gallery, create a separate room and talk ㄱㄱ

ㄴ(Comment section is blocked.)

“What the.”

With the gallery instantly frozen, there was nothing Do Yoon, a mere newbie, could do.

‘I was just trying to catch my breath for a moment.’

A rare break, his hobby time, had flown away.

Do Yoon looked around with a heavy heart.

One by one, the hunters rose from their seats, showing signs that they wanted to resume their activities.

Among them, a black-haired woman with a gloomy expression caught his eye.

“Are we going to punish the bad fanatics?”

“We should go now.”

He had made a promise, of sorts, with the Object.

Due to the semi-forced contract, Do Yoon was in a state where he had to unravel the story of the Object, the ‘young Jinjo’, together.

“Do Yoon, now…”

The fox therianthrope, who had been resting at a distance, cautiously approached.

Their ears and tail were perked up, seeming to be quite concerned about the Object.

“Let’s start the攻略 soon. Call the hunters for me.”

Do Yoon announced the end of the break and gently tickled the back of the young Jinjo’s neck.

“Kyat, that tickles…! Heehee.”

“Now let’s go punish the bad guys.”

“Okay…!”

Nod, nod.

The young Jinjo, still harboring malice from the past days, shook her head with an anticipatory smile.

“This will be fun…”

Leaving that sight behind, Do Yoon looked at the hunters who were slowly gathering.

“I think this much rest time is enough, shall we go finish the job?”

“…..”

“The goal is revenge against the fanatics who tortured and cruelly experimented on the Object, and hunting them.”

The Object’s memories, flowing in due to the Tower Master’s intervention.

The horrific emotions, despair, anger, and the intensely imprinted image in her mind.

The young girl was twisted by misguided desires, and eventually became a monster.

“Yes, I want to meet them soon…!”

That’s why he had to show them.

How the Object they desired was born.

And what kind of deeds it could commit.

-Squeeze.

“With Oppa-ya.”

“Yeah.”

Looking at the Object, who was clinging tightly to his waist and rubbing her face like a content cat.

Do Yoon declared.

“Let’s go. To get our rewards.”

He, who was evaluated as being from the weakest, worst world.

Was now standing at the top of the group, looking down on everyone.
