Title: Jjupak, He Is a God!
(Photo of a water bottle)
The water is good, but this is genuinely useful.
It's light enough to carry easily, increasing efficiency in combat or hunting, and doesn't get in the way when running.
We can explore slightly farther distances more stably, which has expanded our village's range of activity.
-
Did a Dwarf make this?
-
I'm a Dwarf, and this is the first time I've seen this material.
-
The bottle is incredibly light. So light, I wondered if I'd even packed it, but it was tied to my waist.
-
No, seriously, that thing is a wondrous item.
"Huh, the reaction to the bottle is even better."
After selling a few bottles of water, I sold about 100 more with the points I'd newly accumulated.
But, more than I expected, the praise for the bottle was even more widespread.
The most common feedback was that the water bottles made combat more convenient.
As the name Otherworld Destruction Gallery suggests, is there almost no complete civilization here?
For whatever reason, it seems that water bottles efficient for combat and exploration are gaining popularity.
'Is this world really that dire?'
All I had seen was a ruined royal capital.
I was still holed up in the warehouse, so I didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
I naturally composed a new post.
Title: ㅋㅋ Magic Beasts are damn easy to catch, what kind of races struggle with this one thing
You guys, I haven't been here long, so I don't know what's going on outside.
Judging by the atmosphere, it seems pretty bleak, is this continent really on the verge of destruction?
-
F**k, I came because of the title, and it was Jjupak
-
The attention-seeker is always orange
-
It's not on the verge of destruction, it was destroyed long ago
-
The main races of the continent, humans, ruined it by fighting amongst themselves
-
? ㅋㅋ While humans were busy fighting Magic Beasts, the Elves hiding in the forest are talking like this
-
ㅋㅋ If you don't like it, fight me. You're so young.
The comments were unsettling.
Just as I was wondering if I could get any proper information this way, a summary post was uploaded to the popular board.
Title: Worldview Summary for the New Jjupak
3-line summary
1.
Rifts suddenly appeared.
2.
A lot of Magic Beasts poured out.
3.
The allied forces were defeated, and the continent was devastated.
-
This person has no main content; what did they summarize in three lines?
-
It's a massive condensation of history, but that's correct...
-
Fact) It's the fact.
-
Jjupak☆) So many Magic Beasts came out? Enough to push back all the races on the continent?
-
Not exactly... Ah, f**k, it's hard to explain.
-
I'll summarize it for you.
Humans = Backstab each other
Elves = Ran into the forest out of fear
Dwarves = Attacked Elves
Dark Elves = Attacked Elves
Beastfolk = Attacked Humans
Other races = Few in number, don't know much
-
This is correct.
"So in the end, they lost because they fought amongst themselves."
More than that, Elves stand out.
There's a lot of Elf-hate, or El-hate, within the gallery. Is it like Britain on Earth?
- When problems get complicated, you can usually blame the pointy-ears and be right.
- You again, pointy-ear?
"Heh heh, life seems similar here too."
I stopped laughing and lifted my head.
Just a slight glance away from the bright system window, I could see the mold-filled interior of the warehouse.
Judging by the deep darkness, it must have been late night outside long ago.
"This isn't the time to be doing this."
It didn't mean I was going out immediately.
Being trapped here was the safest option.
However, the defenses were insufficient.
That shelf blocking the door would likely be shattered by any Magic Beast from the ranking I saw in the gallery.
"First, I need to push the heavy things against the door."
The shelves wouldn't be enough.
But I didn't have the strength or the mental fortitude for that.
After pondering, I opened the shop window and searched.
[Energy Drink 'Red Boom'] - 2 Points
"Oh, I knew it would be here!"
Fortunately, most of the items from Earth were available.
Among them was Red Boom, which had made a name for itself alongside Monster, as an energy drink.
I bought a can, chugged it down, and then, mid-way through blocking the entrance, I suddenly gazed at the gallery.
-
Ah, I don't even have the strength in my body anymore, for real.
-
This is really my time to die.
-
I can't even catch one Goblin anymore...
"...Should I try posting something?"
It seemed like it could be helpful.

[Jjupak's Marketplace]
[New Item In Stock!]
['Red Boom'] - Remaining Quantity 100 / 2 Gyeongdan
-
?? What is this?
-
Red Boom? Red Explosion?
-
The name is cool, at least.
-
Has this kind of item existed on the continent?
The gallery's attention was quickly drawn by the news of new items in stock.
Those who had already experienced the effects of the water bottles bought the cans without suspicion, and reactions soon began to pour in.
Title: Wow, this is f**king amazing
I've been running away from zombies for half a day.
Then Jjupak was selling this weird object, wasn't he?
I was so thirsty I thought I'd die, so I took a quick sip, and my legs wouldn't stop moving.
Th-that zombie guy is also lagging far behind, looking confused.
What is this, for real?
-
ㅋㅋ The stuttering in the side effects is hilarious.
-
So is this some kind of potion?
-
For real, I drank this too and instantly cut down those tough zombies.
Title: This is truly amazing.
It feels like my past prime has returned.
One sip and my mind was instantly clear!
I was too weak to even climb trees, but now I can run straight through the forest.
I killed all the Magic Beasts that were scouting to invade, and it feels so refreshing ^^
-
Elves, if you hadn't f**ked up so much normally, all the Magic Beasts would have been killed long ago, right?
-
Shouldn't Elves be banned from the marketplace?
-
(Poster) Fk you, fk you ㅇㅗㅇ Come to Elador if you don't like it.
"Whoa… No, to this extent?"
I had hoped that the somewhat tired people of this world would gain a little strength.
But to those who had never experienced even a fraction of Earth's civilization, caffeine was a nuclear bomb.
A few who accidentally downed it in one go were even managing to hunt down Magic Beasts.
Elves, in particular, were significant beneficiaries.
Title: Doesn't it seem like only Elves react exceptionally well to Red Boom?
Looking at Elf posts, it seems their stats are several times higher than other races...
Is Jjupak an Elf too?
-
No. Not that!
-
Jjupak, my savior, is an enemy, Jjupak, my savior, is an enemy, Elf, my savior, is an enemy, Elf...
-
^^ You pathetic other races, did you just realize Jjupak is an Elf?
"Yeah, why do only Elves react better?"
Popular Post) Isn't it just because Elves are vegetarians?
They're so skinny, they only ate greens.
But after losing the war, they couldn't even eat vegetarian and starved, so it works well when they drink it, right?
-
Huh? Is that so?
-
It seems plausible. There's no evidence Jjupak is an Elf or any record of their actions.
-
Didn't Jjupak say he was new here in the first place?
-
oㅗo ㅗ You foolish other races, admit you're jealous if you are.
-
Then why do Dwarves react well too?
-
That's...
"Wait, Dwarves too?"
I browsed through a few more popular posts.
And it turned out Dwarves also responded well to the effects, more than I expected.
Wondering why, I looked into it.
- It's pretty good if you think of it as a substitute for alcohol with its fizzy taste!
- The taste is quite similar too!
- I especially like how it makes me feel good!!
"It's unexpected. It doesn't have to be alcohol?"
Alcohol is notoriously picky, and they image that they discard it if the taste is slightly off.
However, searching for Dwarves as a keyword revealed that it wasn't entirely like that.
- I miss the taste of the alcohol my mother used to make.
- Drinking this Red Boom makes me remember the taste of alcohol I'd forced myself to forget.
- Things were better before the Great War.
It was only that they were forced into abstinence after losing the war against the Magic Beasts.
I thought the occasional posts about drinking were just trolling, but they were expressions of deep-seated sorrow.
"...Wait, alcohol?"
Something flashed in my mind.
I reflexively turned my head towards the shop window.

"Haa, haa, you damned persistent Magic Beasts!"
Screech!
Another Magic Beast's head and body were separated, flying through the air.
The sword that shone eerily had cleaved through hundreds of Magic Beasts, but that did not signify victory.
"Grrr…"
"Kieeeek!"
"Damn it."
The number of Magic Beasts was overwhelming, and he was alone.
Rox, a knight of the fallen Kingdom of Kelton, was reaching his limit.
Even a knight who had awakened Aura could not possibly face thousands of Magic Beasts.
Even if they were just hordes of low-level Magic Beasts.
"Still so damn many."
He muttered, surrounded by hundreds of Magic Beasts outside, while hiding in an abandoned hut between the valleys.
His end was unimaginably pathetic for someone who was once a knight of a shining kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I am sorry. This disloyal servant will finally go to see you now."
The King's request to Rox before his death was the reconstruction of the kingdom.
But without being able to protect the King, the reconstruction of the kingdom was a meaningless delusion.
He slowly closed his eyes.
He sensed this was his end.

Until a loud notification rang out.
"...?"
[Energy Drink 'Red Boom'] (new!)
"Energy… Drink?"
Why would a drink contain energy, the meaning of strength?
But he didn't care.
If he could take down even one more of the Magic Beasts that had destroyed his kingdom while dying, that would be enough.
[Mana Gyeongdan –10]
[Product has been safely delivered!]
"This is the Energy Drink…"
It was a thin metal container made by a craftsman, with an illustration of two enraged bulls clashing.
"This is like the symbol of the kingdom."
He chuckled, struggled to open the can, and downed five cans in one go.
"!!!"
Soon, amidst the rough roars in the valley, a mountain of Magic Beast corpses began to pile up.
