I briefly summarized Love Peace’s claim.

Someone just like me in the novel.

In [The Inept Mage Dreams of the Great Mage], a person is possessed, aiming to unite different races to exterminate the human race. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the mysterious possessor in our novel is someone remarkable enough to influence several races at least.

While some individuals had a rough idea, it was definitely challenging to filter out based solely on speculation. Hence, I decided to dig through Love Peace’s posts.

Unless the administrator directly sends a message, the private message function is disabled in Exos Forum. So, the records of the possessor A conversing with Love Peace should still be intact.

“They might have been deleted, but let’s think about that later.”

Using the administrator function, I gathered all the comments Love Peace had written and sifted through them.

love peace – Peace is a wonderful thing!

love peace – Spreading peace on the forum makes me happy today too ㅎ.ㅎ

love peace – Why do people enjoy fighting? It’s a busy world even if we all live lovingly together…

love peace – Hating someone is an unacceptable behavior!

love peace – I want to be someone who helps others!

As always, countless comments flooded in, typical of a peace-loving concept writer. Among them, one caught my eye.

love peace (secret comment) – Are you really considering exterminating the human race? It might be good for you to reconsider.

“I found it.”

I immediately entered the relevant post and checked the comments from the beginning. Since all comments were secret, normally only the post author, Love Peace, and the commenter, a person named revenger, would be visible. But as an administrator, I can see all the secret comments.

Just like this.

revenger – Love Peace. Looks like I won’t be able to come to Exos Forum for a while.

love peace – Eeeh? Why? You were one of the few who empathized with my peace theory…!

revenger – I will fight to achieve peace. The plan is set.

love peace – Fight for peace? That’s an incompatible statement!

As love peace continued to pour out words, Revenger hastily explained the actions he intended to take.

revenger – As I mentioned before, I foolishly merged with a different race. In the past war, countless people from that race died, including those I knew and players. Humans oppressed the different race selfishly for their own interests, and the most despicable one among them was Macderrath. It was because of him that we lost the war. We had to make a humiliating truce and were driven to the borderlands. Some of the different races who submitted to humans continue to engage in trade and interaction, living grudgingly. However, other races are truly enduring the worst days imaginable.

love peace – S-so you’re planning to start a war…?

revenger – There’s no other way. For peace, all human races must perish. Especially that bastard Macderrath, he must die by any means necessary.

“He’s spouting nonsense,”

Upon seeing Revenger’s comment, a slew of curses erupted as a response.

While there were some truths in his words, it was clearly biased. One thing was certain: the interspecies world war that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of beings did not occur under human leadership. Instead, it began when succubi unlawfully intruded into human territory, killing nobles, which became the catalyst for the split between species friendly to succubi and those friendly to humans, leading to battles.

However, the species friendly to humans were limited to elves and dwarves at best. Intelligent beings such as orcs, trolls, fairies, succubi, minotaurs, etc., who clearly differed in appearance, language, and culture from humans, collectively lynched humans.

The Human Union, consisting of only a few races, began to crumble in an instant, and humans suffered indescribable losses during that process. And it was me who turned the tide of that situation.

[Massacre Magic]

Over the course of several years, using the exclusive knowledge of Hidden Peace and Giyeon, along with countless near-death experiences, a vast array of magical knowledge, items, and numerous weapons were mobilized. The enemy forces themselves were used as subjects for biological experiments, culminating dramatically in the creation of five mass slaughter spells during the first year of the war.

Among them, the most notorious was the Blood Shower, a mass slaughter spell that caused horrific attacks by utilizing the blood of living organisms within a certain range. Due to the year-long ongoing battles, the earth was saturated with the blood of millions of organisms, and the power of this magic, imbued with all that blood, was truly overwhelming.

For several months, a rain of blood poured from the sky, causing any creature touched by it to dissolve. The dissolved creatures’ blood rose back into the sky, creating an even larger downpour. During the months when the Blood Shower was cast, an uncountable number of organisms perished. The impact of the Blood Shower was so significant that it led the Succubus Union, who had been pushing forward with an overwhelming amount of troops, to raise the white flag.

“Yes, a war did occur. It is true that countless lives perished. However, if humans hadn’t carried out dreadful massacres, using others as captives and deceiving the succubi like slaves, the war wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

It’s not justifying my slaughter. Borrowing people’s words, I am indeed the worst slaughterer in human history. But I had no other choice. I had to kill others to avoid being killed myself. After all, the interspecies World War was an endless conflict until one side gave up everything.”

The Revenger, belatedly drawing his sword again, explained the reason for doing so:

“Human Alliance set an outrageous war reparations for various races within the alliance, including the succubi. Even if we pay it all off, the impoverished races will all starve to death. The value of currency has been utterly destroyed, and there’s no room to consider support policies for the low-income class. We are cornered, and the only way is to invade and conquer the Human Alliance once again.”

love peace – However, if we start another war, countless people will die! Why not try talking to the United Nations? Maybe convincing this person named MacDeras could resolve it through dialogue…

I understand the situation, but this can’t be the real cause for war, can it? After years of silence, starting a war again now. There must be a reason.

Continuing to check the comments, I found the reason.

love peace – No matter how much I think about it, I find it hard to understand Revenger’s actions… Why on earth would he suddenly want to start a war? So many people are going to die…

revenger – No, the war will be one-sided. We’ve been conducting research on MacDeras’s mass slaughter magic from within. It’s almost concluded. Since no one else can see it anyway, I’ll be honest with you. This is top secret; you must not discuss it elsewhere.

love peace – I won’t talk about the part you mentioned as top secret!

revenger – As far as we know, there are five of MacDeras’s mass slaughter magics. We already know most of the effects besides Blood Shower. Its power is immense, but all mass slaughter magics have a prerequisite: they require corpses or blood of deceased beings. The reason MacDeras was able to exert such unbelievable power in the inter-species world war was because so many people had died on the battlefield over the past year. Just as a machine can’t function without fuel, MacDeras’s mass slaughter magic will significantly weaken without bodies and blood. That’s our hypothesis.

Revenger then posted several photos.

“Damn… is this really happening?”

[Partial recovery list from the research journal of a certain mage. EP.1 Danger of Mass Slaughter Magic]

He pointed to the screenshot, which was part of the research journal I had recently posted on the extinction board.

revenger – Administrator. I don’t know how you got hold of this research journal, but this is definitely the research journal of that slaughterer, Macdallas, from our novel.

love peace – Th-then, is the administrator Macdallas?

reverger – There’s absolutely no way that idiot could be Macdallas. It’s not a matter of possibility, it’s impossible. Anyone who has seen Macdallas’s strategies, power, and charisma would agree with me. The most plausible scenario is that some incompetent fool at the Tower mismanaged waste disposal and it ended up in the landfill, where the administrator stumbled upon it. Perhaps this administrator guy got possessed by the same novel as me, becoming a beggar or a rogue. Otherwise, there’s no way they could spew such nonsense.

“Calling me an idiot…? A beggar or a rogue…?”

I am undeniably a person of intellect. And now, I live in a palace-like Tower.

Stimulating the nerve centers with electricity, testing vertical reciprocating motion with psychic force, 150 simulated sniper shots, averaging 300 posts per day, and an average of 1500 comments—although I’ve achieved all that, it was still unpleasant to hear such words.

But at the same time, it was a relief. Revenger clearly considers me different from Macdallas, even imagining me as a non-threatening presence. Despite knowing that I can see, making the mistake of not deleting these comments made being treated like an idiot somewhat bearable.

If Revenger had reached the conclusion that the administrator equals Macdallas, they wouldn’t have left these comments up.

revenger – Anyway, after reviewing the research journals he provided, we are certain. Macdallas’s mass slaughter magic is menacing when drawn out in warfare, but it’s not suitable for siege. It should be annihilated before it prolongs into a protracted conflict. We had some doubts until now, but after reviewing those research journals, we are convinced.

“Sigh…”

It turned out like this. I never expected that sharing my research journal realistically to observe the response between forum riots and the outside operator’s readiness would result in such a nuclear explosion.

But it’s okay.

To sum it up, in the end, after reading my research journal, they found areas where they could supplement their research results, confirmed the limitations of mass slaughter magic, and said they would take advantage of that gap.

Truly a reasonable story. In reality, for my mass slaughter magic to be effective, there must be numerous corpses and blood on the battlefield. Even once used, the aftermath is so severe that it becomes impossible to use it at the appropriate onset of a war. It’s proper to wait until there are as many corpses and blood as possible and then detonate all at once.

However, if those who rushed in with the shortest-term strategy were to win, they would have to bear significant losses.

“Perhaps we might lose.”

But there was no problem.

From the moment my writing was included in the basis for judging the war, we were already winning.

It’s time to use SNS tactics.

S: Incite and

N: Fabricate

S: Let’s play the game.

I immediately posted an article.

[Realized Sorcerer’s Research Journal EP2. How to use magic comparable to a nuclear bomb without sacrifices. The process of improving mass slaughter magic.]

Exactly 10 minutes after posting the article.

As expected, someone took the bait.

[revenger has left a secret comment on your post.]

revenger (secret comment) – Administrator, can we talk for a moment?

Now the real game begins.

From now on, in my comments, the fate of humanity will be decided.
