Long after the discussion about “Last Day” had started,

even those who used to mock us gradually found it harder to make fun of us.

A website suddenly appeared, announcing the shutdown of the global server.

Everyone came to know that no matter what they did, the site couldn’t be deleted, and nobody knew who created it.

It’s already suspicious that the site is the prologue to an apocalypse game.

And even the government can’t touch it?

Conspiracy theories were bound to arise.

The public’s reactions varied.

“Hey, isn’t that real? It’s actually a hilarious hidden camera prank, right? Isn’t it?”

People who deny it.

“There are idiots who believe that seriously. Don’t they know it’s still marketing?”

People treating believers like fools.

“Does anyone have any videos or information about ‘Last Day’? I’m willing to pay for them.”

Someone late but genuinely trying to prepare for the end.

“To be honest, I’d rather everything just collapse. I don’t want to live in hellish Korea anyway. LOL”

People who actually wish for the apocalypse and rejoice.

Surprisingly, there were many people responding to the last post.

It seemed that quite a few people wanted this messed-up world to be overturned.

Whether they were sincere or just showing off on the internet, I don’t know.

[Title]

“Honestly, it’s disgusting.”

[Body]

“At first, those who warned us not to believe in such things were treated like idiots.

But as we grew more anxious, they pretended to be close and stuck around.

Even the people who tried to help must have changed their minds after seeing what you guys were up to.

Get lost, you brainless bastards. You won’t get any information from us.”

This post received numerous upvotes and downvotes simultaneously.

It celebrated the occasion of becoming the best post with an exact 1:1 ratio of upvotes and downvotes.

“Hmm.”

In reality, most users would have resonated with those words.

We were already treated poorly in society.

Especially during this “Last Day” incident, we were ridiculed nationwide.

Some politicians even called us “delusional patients obsessed with games.”

But now they come looking for something to grab onto as time goes by.

From the perspective of those who have been treated as social outcasts without any wrongdoing, it must be unimaginable. The absence of “Last Day” enthusiasts, who are more concerned about this situation than anyone else, is likely for a similar reason. What they gain from helping others is just a little moral conscience. It’s clear that pretending to know will only result in losses. Those who ignored us probably deserve to experience it themselves. Is this some kind of trendy cynicism these days? Unfortunately, even as a cynic like me, I share a similar sentiment. “There’s no reason for me to step up and help.” While wars are still happening on the other side of the world right now, someone is dying from a disease while I’m having a cup of coffee. But aren’t those who shed tears and help others in such situations a small minority? Of course, if someone were dying in front of me, I would help if possible. But helping anonymous people on the internet is a different story. If it compromises my safety, it’s not worth mentioning. “In the first place, I posted something and got blocked.” After posting similar content a few times, I was permanently banned due to harassment. I’m left in a pitiful state where I can only leave comments. Some people approached me later, but I ignored them all. Unlike before, Glizen is fast, so just quietly browsing was enough to pass the time. [Title] [Bringing up the popular doomsday theory these days] [Body] [You’ve probably seen this site at least once. To understand what it is, you need to know about a game called ‘Last Day’…] Anyway, people are gradually starting to recognize the ‘doomsday theory.’ It’s still at the level of internet rumors…who knows. It won’t take long for it to spread. [Title] [Isn’t this too much for the gamers of this game?] [Body] [Honestly, at this point, we need to say something. Even if it’s to reassure people. How can we all keep our mouths shut? What if someone actually dies because of this? It’s like they’re saying they’ll be the only ones to survive. They have no conscience. And I’m human too… [Comment] – Hahaha, you curse at them and expect them to give you information. Should’ve played the game if you were so curious. Honestly, this situation is a bit twisted. Oh well, I guess I like cynicism.

I learned various survival techniques while browsing internet sites. In the process, I discovered that there are quite a few well-known survival experts here as well. Simply translating and copying information from famous foreign websites proved to be quite helpful. I even went as far as recommending good survival YouTube channels directly. Among them, there were individuals who made a living out of such “survival” activities. One of them was a former soldier and survival YouTuber named “Lee Jeong.” Despite his rough demeanor, unlike us non-experts, he operated properly and made money through it. One day, he posted an article. [Title] Going for an interview [Body] This time, an interview related to survivalism due to the recent “Last Game” incident. Planning to have various conversations with a pretty female reporter, lol. “Wow, an interview?” It was different from the brief mentions in previous articles. It meant meeting the reporter face-to-face and conducting an interview in person. If lucky, it might even be featured on a broadcast. In reality, we doomsday preppers were perceived by society as losers or the end of humanity. Just ordinary people hoping for an average life. We, who were going crazy over the impending disaster, must have been an undesirable race in their eyes. It’s human nature to criticize and scrutinize those we want to deny. The ridicule we faced from various communities, media outlets, and in real life was difficult to put into words. Amidst all that, a journalist appeared who genuinely listened to our stories. Many doomsday preppers who had been ignored rejoiced at this. Among them, there were many who admired Lee Jeong, the aforementioned “expert.” It would have been nice if it ended there… Unfortunately, the character of a man named “Lee Jeong,” who revealed his real name and continued his activities, wasn’t very pleasant. Was this “interview” the shining light that took him to the major leagues or even higher? He began to deny the darkness he had accumulated on the internet all this time. – Lol, I’ve been living so hard that opportunities like this come my way. – It means my skills have been recognized by mainstream media. – It’s on a different level than just some guys gossiping on the internet. – Well, comparing me to those assholes from the online community is a bit much, lol.

It can end with just bragging.

If it was only to that extent, many people might have congratulated or even benefited from interviews.

However, the person named “Lee Jeong” was not a mature individual.

They were the type who belittled others to boost their own self-esteem.

They were engulfed in typical rankings-oriented thinking and a loser mentality.

– Well, who is this guy?

– A loser? That’s what he’s saying to us now.

-Nonsense, that foreign channel, Lexa, is boasting about doing an interview once.

Naturally, the users of the bulletin board did not view it favorably.

Those who were already discontented due to various grievances.

But even until yesterday, even the people who were active ignored them?

There weren’t many people who would laugh and understand that.

-Wasn’t Lee Jeong famous for having a terrible personality from the past?

In response to his provocation, people willingly started asking all sorts of information.

Mainly about Lee Jeong’s criminal records from the past.

Sexual harassment, drunk driving, theft, driving without a license, impersonation, assault, and more.

Honestly, it was impressive how someone like this could still engage in economic activities… It was worthy of admiration for Korean law.

Just in case, I searched on Namuwiki and found a list of incidents/accidents.

Perhaps due to lack of attention, it was roughly buried, but the criminal record was quite remarkable.

Wow, I didn’t know, but he was an amazing person.

Regarding this, Lee Jeong casually responded.

– Yeah~ Even if I’m just an expert doing interviews, you guys are just losers sitting in your rooms. Just watch me when I come out~

With that post, ‘Lee Jeong’ disappeared.

To be honest, considering that personality, I thought they would immediately come to brag after the interview, but it was unexpected.

Perhaps they simply wanted to leave this place and go to a better place.

But surprisingly, the truth was quickly revealed.

Recent Update on Lee Jeong’s Provocative Interview (Copy-Paste)

[Content]

The controversy surrounding the nihilists who have become a social issue recently.

Today, let’s hear the story of a YouTuber pretending to be an “expert” on the internet.

The modern era where gaming addiction and delusions can lead to actual crimes.

Real experts are deeply concerned about the spread of misinformation for such cunning reasons.

YouTuber Lee Jeong-eun has sparked significant social controversy and is speculated to be seeking attention through this nihilistic trend, as her popularity has declined recently…

According to the journalist’s summary, it went like this:

These days, there are many idiots like this, and this asshole idiot makes money with false information.

But this bastard has a criminal record too, lol.

[Comments]

-Hahahaha

-Hahahaha

-Hahahahaha

-Hahahaha

Seeing the countless “haha” comments, I couldn’t help but laugh myself.

The recent government and media have been busy demonizing doomsayers.

To them, even someone like “Lee Jeong,” who claims to be an expert, was just prey.

The provocative posts he used to make have now turned into targets for criticism.

I guess he doesn’t come back to the forum because he knows he’ll be ridiculed.

Of course, in my opinion, he’s probably just lurking without posting anything.

If I were to give a verdict, I would give it to the users of the forum.

At least we didn’t fall victim to being interviewed, right?
