─They say Jooddak manages it for 20 hours every day.

ㄴHow can a person spend 20 hours a day on the gallery?

ㄴSeriously, how can someone do gallery moderation for 20 hours a day? LOL

Rumors were circulating in the community.

It was said that Jooddak spent 20 hours a day managing the gallery.

The reaction of disbelief was expected, but some couldn’t help but chuckle.

─How can someone spend 20 hours on gallery moderation?

ㄴFor real, LOL, that’s unbelievable.

ㄴHey, honestly, even when you’re not active for a while, there are breaks in between.

ㄴJooddak << This guy is into cola, chicken, and auctions, but adding gallery moderation on top of that is a bit much, LOL

Among regular users, Jooddak's gallery moderation didn't seem that impressive.

In fact, some thought he might have just gone to sleep while claiming to manage the gallery.

Or maybe he was just taking a break?

They genuinely believed that.

But they were unaware of how intense the sun was when viewed from afar.

Only the closest followers of Jooddak knew how intense the sun really was.

【Gallery Administrator Chat】

─DemonLord) When does Jooddak even sleep~~????

─Jooddak) You can sleep when you're dead.

─PlantDruid) We'll… take care of it, so you can… go to sleep…!!!

─Jooddak) Bored.

─PlantDruid) Sir.

─DemonLord) Jooddak's gallery moderation is on another level… ⚆_⚆;;;;

─Hero) It's frightening…

The followers who observed Jooddak up close were afraid.

Who exactly was Jooddak to be able to spend 20 hours moderating the gallery every single day without fail?

And he didn't even take breaks!

Some users even tried to estimate Jooddak's activity level in the gallery…

But in reality, Jooddak was handling even more tasks than they could imagine.

Reading through all the gallery management and auction records was already overwhelming for his followers.

The true appearance of Jooddak was first witnessed by the hero who accompanied him.

'…It was real.'

The non-stop 20-hour gallery moderation was indeed true.

Although he would roll around in bed and change positions like lying on his stomach or back…

It was very rare for Jooddak to actually get out of bed.

The hero would also roll around in bed with him and spend time together.

It wasn't a long time, but they shared the same space.

Perhaps that's why the absence of Jooddak felt awkward.

The familiar presence of Jooddak was missing.

As it was an empty space that was not usually felt, the emptiness of Kaira felt even greater.

The fact that he wasn't there right now… felt lonely.

Kaira buried her face in the pillow and glanced at the empty bed.

Feeling lonely, another thought crossed her mind.

An opportunity that never came before…

If this was the moment Jooddak got out of bed, could she jump into his bed?

As Kaira became conscious of Jooddak's bed, a pleasant scent tickled her nose.

She closed her eyes tightly.

'What am I thinking…'

The pleasant scent she felt while living with Jooddak was still lingering around the bed.

Although she cleaned, she didn't change the bedding.

In other words, the bed was filled with Jooddak's scent.

A bed that had been tortured by 20 hours of gallery moderation, a scent cluster.

"…"

The hero quietly closed his eyes and focused on his senses.

There was no special presence felt from outside. Even if he went a little further, there was nothing disturbing.

It had already been 30 minutes since Jooddak disappeared to meet the queen.

He had a feeling that she wouldn't come back quickly.

He pondered.

Would he give up his human dignity and pride in this moment of desire?

Or would he resist this temptation… and uphold his noble dignity.

In his heart, the angel Kaira whispered.

─This is not right. Without Jooddak… you shouldn't do such a thing.

Indeed. It's not good to behave like that while he's not around.

But another angel, Kaira, whispered.

─Isn't this for protecting the continent and relieving stress? Isn't it good? It'll help maintain your condition.

Maintaining condition. Stress relief to maintain the best form.

Kaira nodded.

Isn't it bad for the body to endure too much?

If you endure too much even at this moment, won't toxins accumulate in your body?

The worry was long, but the hesitation was short.

Kaira cautiously moved from her bed to Judak's bed.

She lightly touched it and sat on the bed.

'…It feels different.'

Surely they would have used the same bed and bedding.

But thinking that he used it… it feels special.

Gulp.

She swallowed her saliva, then walked on all fours on the bed.

Kaira quietly looked at the part where he was half lying down and the pillow.

'You did well guarding Judak…'

That became the choice she regretted the least in her life.

Meanwhile, Judak was playing chess with Beatrice.

"Let's play one more time."

"…It's late, so I'll go. We can play again next time, right?"

"Next time… sure. How about playing one or two games every day…?"

"I like other board games besides chess."

"Let's play again tomorrow."

Judak nodded at her obsessive words.

Don't you hate it? You're going to be ignored? If he said that, he would really be chased out of the palace this time.

Creak.

Judak closed the door and let out a small sigh.

"Ha…."

He succeeded in getting out with great difficulty!

If he hadn't escaped now, he might have continued playing chess while the world changed.

'It's scary.'

As if to prove that an ordinary person cannot endure the position of a queen. She showed extraordinary determination.

─Judak. Let's play again.

─But I won?

─Again.

Even if he lost like in a trade deal, the match continued.

Different methods. Different tactics. The queen was defeated.

The problem was that even if she lost, she kept getting up and challenging, and even if she was defeated miserably, she kept challenging.

As a result, Judak was the first to tire out.

'It's no joke….'

Feeling the greatness of the Queen's pocket, he returned to his room.

The warrior who was looking at the gallery of the void greeted him.

"Judak. Did you finish your talk well?"

"Well, sort of…?"

Something. Something…. The atmosphere between him and the warrior felt different from before.

A refreshing expression…? Is it because of his mood?

Judak grinned and threw himself onto his bed.

"Kya."

Today's gallery was fun as always.

***

The gallery with mini-games was in chaos comparable to a war.

Chess, Gomoku, Yacht.

Although they were simple games, the depth of the games was not shallow.

There were various rules even within this.

─Judak

Title) Wow, there are additional rules ㅋㅋ

I added them ㅇㅇ

ㄴKekeke

ㄴStarting to get bored, what are the various rules? ㅋㅋ

ㄴJudak again????

ㄴIf that's the case, I have to play another game… I'm sleepy, but I'll play a game… I'll start with chess…

ㄴKekeke, stop it…

ㄴThis isn't praise or nonsense, it's just a normal game addiction, damn kekeke

ㄴWhat are the rules for chess? Random chess, 4-player chess, Fog of War, etc. Damn, there are so many weird ones

ㄴRandom chess has random piece placement, and 4-player chess is really with 4 people, right? Keke, Fog of War only shows the movement of your pieces

ㄴOh, keke, there are so many unique rules ㅋㅋ

ㄴKeke, a new chess culture ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴI've played a lot of chess, so I know some rules, but there are also some rules I don't know;;

ㄴFor real, I didn't know there were so many chess rules in the world???

– What's the rule for variant omok?

– Isn't 3 players 6 omok not even omok? LOL

– Sosiroph rule…? What on earth is this? I can't understand it.

– I tried reading the rules but it gave me a headache.

– It's quite challenging… Normal people wouldn't be able to do it, right?

– Is it suitable for those who play rice-sleep omok?

– Omok ghost exclusive rule LOL

– But the balance seems good, so it seems like a rule suitable for competitions?

– I tried it once and gave up because it gave me a headache.

– You have to know all the advantageous positions;

– Is there no variant rule for Yachu?

– There isn't?

– Why not???

– The game is about rolling dice well, why do we need variants? LOL

– Ah LOL

– No, but there is skill involved in this.

– Skill-based game vs luck-based game, when will this debate end?

– Oh, here come the luck-based game players again?

– Yeah LOL If you roll 3 sixes you win the game LOL

– Wait LOL Is there a game where even a master can lose to a beginner? LOL

– LOL How is this a skill game LOL

Despite some controversy over luck-based games…

Ultimately, it was only a matter of time before games spread among the Gallums.

Three types of games became popular as trends.

Chess, Omok, and Yachu captured the attention of Gallums…

Title: Any 1st tier Gallums for chess? Looking for a match

– I'm a 1st tier, anyone up for a game?

– Sure, let's play

Naturally, a hierarchy was established.

Based on the records saved in the game, Gallums calculate their ratings.

Then they confirm their rank accordingly.

Title: Anyone a chess master here?

For sure

– What rules are included?

– Including variant rules

– 15-minute time limit?

– Yes

– So, Chess Machine, Best of the Best, and Matop University Student, is that about right?

– 3rd rank, wow. But who is that guy with the fur coat? Why is he good at chess too?

– Someone who plays chess exceptionally well;;

─ Matop University Student

Title: A bit disappointing…

With an 87% win rate… Hmm…

If I had played a bit better, I could have hit 90%…

– What's with the bluffing?

– But even if he bluffs openly, the fact remains that he's damn good LOL

– I played against that guy and he made his moves so quickly

– What kind of place is Matop University…

– A place where smart people play chess at a master level

– What did he do wrong to be trapped in Matop? They probably won't let you in even if you kill someone

– A chess master? He seems like a stubborn person for going to Matop University?

– Matop University Student: You bastards

– LOL

– The chess Gallums who got hit with facts LOL

– Can't win an argument, so just resort to swearing LOL

– Look at that decision-making speed LOL, he's a chess master LOL

– But with that decision-making ability, why did he go to university?

– Matop University Student: You bastards

– LOL Stop teasing our university student ㅠㅠ

– We could shake hands for a moment…

– At the end of an argument, shaking hands is a time-honored tradition…

─ Best of the Best, Chess Lover

Title: I want to play chess while petting fur

Heh LOL Heh LOL LOL

– LOL Is this guy really a chess master?

– Oh my god, he's shedding on the forum!!!!!

– But still, he's undeniably a damn good player…

– Chess master

– We welcome the Chess Master

Those with skills are admired.

Applaud them!

People bowed their heads in respect as they watched them.

Bowing in front of the strong was the same even in the gallery.

Of course, there were also opposers.

Title: What's the win rate of the hero?

LOL

– What's up?

Title) The Chronicles of the Top Hero

From behind: Haha, this guy is hilarious!

ㄴHaha, what a joke!

ㄴEven if he's a noob, this is just too funny.

ㄴSeriously, just ban this guy. He's messing up the rankings for everyone.

ㄴA lone warrior who clouds the game all by himself, what a legend!

Title) Don't Underestimate the Hero

Even though he can't do basic magic or play chess, I still like him.

ㄴYou're the worst, haha.

ㄴSeriously, the hero is just too bad at this.

ㄴYou should just get banned, haha.

ㄴEven if you get banned by the hero, just say you're honored to have been defeated, haha.

─The Hero

Title) I'm Not a Noob

It's just bad luck.

It's because of my bad luck that my win rate is so low…!

ㄴThat's right, it's all because of bad luck.

ㄴExactly.

ㄴWho said he's a noob?

ㄴThat's not true, right?

ㄴHaha, watch your language!

─The Hero's Misfortune

Title) Looking for Chess Partners

Low rating, poor skills, guaranteed loss every game

ㄴHero: ……

ㄴHaha!

ㄴJust leave, man.

ㄴIs this guy even breathing? Haha!

ㄴHe must be the one who's not breathing, right? Or is he the hero?

ㄴYou should leave too, haha!

ㄴWatch your language, man!!!!!!!!

ㄴBut the hero seems to be right. He swings his sword and takes out a few people, haha.

ㄴThe skills of the gallery trolls are truly heroic, haha.

ㄴHaha, the gallery crusher, the hero, haha.

ㄴAll of you above should leave too, haha.

ㄴOther noobs aren't this bad, it's amazing.

ㄴIt's a fact that the hero has bad luck.

ㄴI watched him play, and his luck was so poor it was almost pitiful.

ㄴWhat about his skills?

ㄴDon't ask, haha.

ㄴWhy shouldn't I ask? How much of a loser and pathetic person do you have to be for that? Come on, he must have that level of crappy skills.

ㄴThe Hero: ……

ㄴWow, have you been trolling the gallery for a long time? I can see ghosts, haha.

ㄴHaha!

ㄴYou guys should leave too, haha.

─The Demon King

Title) Looking for Someone to Play Othello

ㄴWanna play with me?

ㄴDemon King: Let's play~~~

ㄴDamn, he's really good.

ㄴHaha, gallery trolls…

ㄴWhy is the Demon King so good at this? He's really good at speed rules.

ㄴHe's at the level of a speed rules master.

ㄴYeah, it's not easy…

ㄴWill he soon become an Othello master…?

─The Plant Druid

Title) Anyone up for Chess…?

ㄴPromotion match killer: Want to play with me?

ㄴPlant Druid: Sure thing…!!!

ㄴOh no, the points are dropping.

ㄴThe Elf noob who lost all his points is hilarious, haha.

ㄴClicked the dislike button, gallery trolls, haha.

ㄴLet me go first, haha.

ㄴElf noob's points are back to zero, haha.

ㄴOnly 150 points left until the promotion match!

"F*ck, you have to win 10 games in a row for that score."

"Yeah, it got cut down because of the losing streak, haha."

"Galb*ng really doesn't hold back, haha."

"This bastard must've been waiting to beat the elf nerd, haha."

"Your username alone is f*cking evil, haha."

"The elf nerd must've slept all day today, haha."

"(Plant Druid) Profit…!!!!!!"

"Haha, don't cry. Are you already crying before recovering your score?"

"Haha, seriously, these guys, haha. The nerds are getting destroyed, haha."

"I'm in Tier 2, wanna play together?"

"(Plant Druid) Hurry up and join, what are you doing!!!!!!!"

"Haha, seriously, are they crazy?"

"Did the nerds go insane? Haha."

"Getting old and losing your touch, f*ck, haha."

The whole world was immersed in the game.

The gallery was full of people obsessed with the game.

The capital of the Teser Empire.

Even the emperor, who played chess in the palace, was tasting a bitter defeat.

"Argh…! Why didn't I see that move!"

He expressed his anger and suppressed his frustration.

"To be cut off from the Tier 2 promotion match…! This is unbelievable! Don't you think so, Wisen?"

"Yes… Your Majesty…"

"Wisen, what do you think of my skills when you consider them?"

"I believe you have the ability to overturn the situation and create favorable conditions, showing the qualities of a master strategist."

"You have a keen eye, Wisen. Teach me chess."

"…Yes."

Everyone in the gallery was engrossed in three mini-games.

Of course, until this post was uploaded.

– "Gonna grab some food and join again."

Title: But I have one question

So, which race is the best at chess?

A stone thrown by someone caused a stir in the gallery.
