The role of a sub-administrator, assisting the administrator in the gallery.
To have a sub-administrator, it’s not beneficial for the gallery to select just anyone.
One must have spent a significant amount of time active in the gallery, possess a deep understanding of the gallery, and above all, cause fewer problems. Or, it could be just enough to be fun. Through such strict criteria, one can earn the blue badge.
What’s good about getting the blue badge? You get to work unpaid, around the clock.
Title: What’s good about becoming a blue badge holder? Do you get paid?
ㄴNo, you get 50 gold coins as salary.
ㄴReally?
ㄴWould I give that to you, idiot? LOL
ㄴLOL, fooled again LOL

ㄴWow, there are so many benefits, damn.
ㄴNot even jealous of those working in the imperial palace, LOL
ㄴWow, did the blue badge holders really do all this?
ㄴLOL, I’m going to apply for a blue badge right now LOL
Everyone knows.
There’s not a single benefit to becoming a blue badge holder.
It’s a badge full of responsibilities without any rewards. Who would like that?
It’s essentially playing hot potato.
Playing hot potato, hoping the bomb doesn’t end up in the hands of a madman.
That’s what everyone thought.
ㄴWho would be good as a blue badge holder?
ㄴDamn, LOL, can’t we just not choose anyone?
ㄴLet’s just pick among the chaotic users, LOL
ㄴThat would be the end of the gallery, LOL
ㄴMaybe it’d be okay if it’s a blue badge holder with a tactical nuke…?
ㄴNot okay!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴYeah, as long as it’s not me~~
As long as it’s not me.
But what if a crazy person gets chosen?
The number of people worrying about this began to increase.
What happens if someone comes into a playground where everyone is playing nicely and destroys it?
The playground becomes ruined and a mess.
Naturally, people would feel upset.
ㄴDo you remember the blue badge holder from last week?
ㄴWho’s that?
ㄴA newbie has arrived
ㄴSo what?
ㄴThat guy was really crazy, for real LOL
ㄴIf he didn’t like someone, he’d ban them for a year, LOL
ㄴPosted a bad photo and got a one-week ban as a ‘gift’, LOLLLLL
ㄴ?? There was such a crazy person?
ㄴIt was a bit ago. But yeah, there was.
ㄴThere was someone even crazier than him
ㄴ?????
ㄴWhat did he do? LOL
ㄴStarted a cult in the gallery LOL
ㄴLOLLLL
ㄴCrazy LOL
In the past, many villains passed through as blue and yellow badge holders.
Not just once but dozens of times.
So, this time, people are praying for a yellow badge holder who is sane.
The gallery is a playground for everyone. As such, it’s hard to manage.
But that doesn’t mean people want it to be run however someone feels like it.
At the very least. Really, the very least.
Amid these reactions, a new post appeared in the gallery.
―Moderator
Title: Recruiting for a blue badge holder.
Conditions: Unpaid, available 24/7, must be immune to tactical nukes
Reward: Blue badge
The content is about selecting a blue badge holder.
Everyone in the gallery knew that this post had to come up eventually.
This gallery cannot be managed alone.
Since users from all over the continent gather in one place to be active.
The number of posts made in a day is enormous.
Managing alone would either result in collapse from overwork or feeling tortured.
Even if one were a transcendent being, if their mind isn’t transcendent, it would be a difficult task.
Even transcendent beings would fall eventually if they kept getting hit by tactical nukes in the gallery.
So, everyone understood the need to select a blue badge holder. It was a reluctant acceptance, but they had no intention of forgiving just anyone being chosen.
Title: But selecting a blue badge holder already…?
Isn’t this the fastest among all the yellow badge holders so far?
ㄴI’m getting scared
ㄴLOL, the return of the nightmare, wait for it
ㄴDo they even know what this guy is about before choosing?
ㄴHe only wrote two posts, so I don’t even know what he’s about
Title: What the hell is this yellow badge holder doing!!!
Selecting a blue badge holder already????
Just select someone normal since you don’t have to manage right away!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴBlue badge speedrun LOL
ㄴDamn LOL what’s good about selecting a blue badge holder so quickly LOL
ㄴJust feels good LOL
ㄴDon’t just give the admin role to anyone.
ㄴDamn LOL are you spinning a roulette
The gallery was thrown into chaos over the blue badge holder bait.
Selecting a blue badge holder?
The problem was that there were crazy people everywhere raising their hands to be chosen.
Title: Can I become a blue badge holder?
Yes.
ㄴRecent post by this guy: Wants to be stepped on by someone with a loli body type.
ㄴDamn LOLLLLLL
ㄴIsn’t this guy crazy LOL
ㄴWhat’s wrong with furry
ㄴWe are not interested in your sexual fetishes, teacher
Title: Is this enough to be a blue badge holder?
Tried doing gallery stuff non-stop for 35 hours yes;
ㄴWhat job allows you to do that
ㄴUnemployed?
ㄴJealous…
ㄴWhy would you be jealous of that, you maniac LOL
ㄴI’ve been going to my job for 230 years now…
ㄴLOLLLLL
ㄴMaybe you should stop going LOL
Title: Gallery Prediction
Gets selected as a blue badge holder and starts power tripping
Blue badge holder gets sniped and the gallery burns
Yellow badge holder apologizes and fires the blue badge holder
Looks for another blue badge holder
Again, the blue badge holder starts power tripping
Repeat
Honestly.
ㄴAh LOL saw a week’s worth of gallery drama LOL
ㄴWhat if they don’t get fired?
ㄴGotta twist the yellow badge holder’s nipples
ㄴWhy would you twist the yellow badge holder’s nipples, you maniac LOL
ㄴBut it’s always like this when a new yellow badge holder comes LOL
ㄴGallery is hell until a decent blue badge holder shows up LOL
ㄴ’Tactical nuke incoming’
ㄴStop it!!!!!!! It’s already dust!!!!!!!!
Title: Can’t we bring back the last blue badge holder?
Yes?
ㄴ? Ah damn please
ㄴPrevious blue badge holder appearance LOL
ㄴWould they even do it LOL
ㄴHow many years was the blue badge holder?
ㄴ27 years? 28 years? It’s a bit fuzzy
ㄴCrazy LOL
ㄴLived as a slave LOL
ㄴWent to another blue badge holder’s funeral last time
ㄴLOLLLLLLLLLLLLL
ㄴFuneral meet-up is highly recommended LOL
ㄴWrote a post last time and that made it to the legendary posts LOL
Title: The Only Way to Save the Gallery.jpg
(Elves holding a flag meme.jpg)
ㄴGreat Elf Squad
ㄴAren’t you going to purify the elf bitches???
ㄴElf bitches acting up again LOL
ㄴThe World Tree is… just… a big tree….
ㄴThe World Tree’s specialty: It’s just a big tree
ㄴDirty xenophobes, what would you know.
ㄴWhat would I know, you fucker LOL
ㄴElf bitches suck LOL
ㄴGrandpa, please leave before you burn the World Tree LOL
ㄴSaying they’ll use even the branches of the World Tree as firewood LOL
Everyone expresses their opinions.
Some write posts just for the fun of stirring things up.
Others sincerely hope the gallery doesn’t fall into ruin.
Complete chaos.
Then, a notification popped up for someone who was smiling while browsing the gallery.
????
【You have been appointed as a gallery sub-administrator.】
【Do you accept?】
It was an utterly unexpected situation.
Though active in the gallery, being chosen as a blue badge holder? Even they didn’t think it would be possible.
Wasn’t the application for the blue badge just a joke?
Thinking it was a mistake and declining.
Ding.
The notification popped up again.
Could this be… a real intention to offer the blue badge?
They wouldn’t make the mistake twice.
Right?
Clicking the button with a smirk.
Oh.
A blue badge was added to the ID.
The blue badge. Might not seem like much, but just having it was enough to draw attention.
Drawing attention.
Wasn’t that always the unwanted goal since starting activity in the gallery?
A smile on their lips, they began to write a post.

ㄴLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL
ㄴFuck LOL Demon King-chan taking over the gallery LOL
ㄴCrazy LOL they chose Demon King-chan
ㄴDid the yellow badge holder lose their mind?
ㄴBut is this person really a demon king?
ㄴAs if they’re a demon king LOL
ㄴIf they’re a demon king, then I’m the elf queen, you fucker LOL
ㄴOh, you’re the elf queen?
ㄴAs if LOL
ㄴSo naive LOL
ㄴBut seriously, what are we going to do about the gallery? We’re screwed.
We’re screwed.
That was the common thought among everyone.
Demon King-chan. The name might sound cute, but what they did was simple.
Spamming trash posts all day.
─Demon King-chan
Title: Demon King-chan is angry!
Why does everyone hate me!
Hate me!
Don’t hate me just because I got a blue badge! > <
Upvotes: 0 Downvotes: 27
ㄴIf I hate you, I get banned, so please take down your post
ㄴI support Demon King-chan~~
ㄴUpvote if Demon King-chan is cute LOL starting with me LOL
ㄴClicked, so why is it still 0 upvotes LOL
ㄴClicking upvote curses you with the demon’s curse, be careful
ㄴFor real LOL
Posts filled with people’s sarcasm and jeering.
There was a reason for that.
Because they only drew attention with trash posts.
A malignant entity that buried others’ posts with their low-quality content.
Posts: 2,988,134
Comments: 3,318,271
A cyber psycho almost achieving a 1:1 post to comment ratio.
There were few in the gallery who welcomed such a Demon King-chan.
Is that person really a blue badge holder…? Are we truly screwed?
Just as someone’s hollow shout suggested, a chaotic user had become a blue badge holder.
* * *
In the gallery, there exist people who are heavily into their roles. They can be found everywhere.
They push one characteristic as their identity, even if it makes others frown.
This was often the case with a character who appears every morning.
Demon King-chan.
Demon King-chan starts the day by writing a post.
─Demon King-chan
Title: Demon King-chan wakes up > <
Good morning!
ㄴIs this person really a demon king? It’s evening in Majeros right now, LOL
ㄴHas this person been around for just a day or two? Such a NEET, wakes up and it’s morning for them
ㄴDamn LOL thinks they’re the center of the universe
ㄴWhat does Demon King-chan eat for breakfast?
ㄴHad pork belly!
ㄴStarts the day with pork belly LOL
ㄴMust have an ogre’s physique LOL
Always insisting on a cute(?) way of speaking while calling themselves a demon king.
To others, they could only appear as a weird person.
Especially those who know what a demon king is, it only brought a sense of alienation.
Title: Does the demon king really talk like that?
Yes?
ㄴWould they really talk like that, LOL
ㄴIf the demon king said ‘It’s good to be king!’ at their coronation, Majeros would flip LOL
ㄴThey don’t talk like that?
ㄴWould they, LOL
ㄴActually, they’re very solemn. The epitome of charisma, a queen.
ㄴDidn’t you go to the demon king’s coronation? Are you a newbie?
ㄴ? When was that
ㄴNot long ago, like 170 years ago, yeah
ㄴ??
ㄴ?
Title: If the Demon King actually acted like that
Would be cute for real LOL
Wanna nibble on the Demon King LOL
ㄴHow can you nibble on the Demon King LOL
ㄴYou’d turn into a corpse if you tried to nibble LOL
ㄴSays the person who died trying to nibble
ㄴYour teeth would break trying LOL
ㄴ(What used to be teeth)
ㄴMawaimu kemuhēzugushīta
ㄴWhat.
ㄴLOL, what a nutcase
While some people welcome the Demon King, most dislike Demon King-chan.
For openly acting like a weirdo.
Liking them would make one even weirder.
Naturally, opposing posts started to appear.
Title: But why was Demon King-chan chosen as a blue badge holder?
(Really don’t know)
ㄴNo one here knows LOL
ㄴDamn LOL we want to know too
ㄴWhy her of all people? Why her? Why her? Why her? Why her?
ㄴA fan of Demon King-chan?
ㄴToxic fandom LOL
Title: Moderator, explain!!!!!!!
Why is she a blue badge holder!!!!!!!!
Upvotes: 1921 Downvotes: 1
ㄴLooks like Demon King-chan downvoted LOL
ㄴHas the yellow badge holder not voted yet?
ㄴExplain first, damn!!!!!!!
ㄴMaybe Demon King-chan could unexpectedly do well?
ㄴDemon King-chan, you shouldn’t be doing this here
ㄴIs the yellow badge holder your alt? Explain first, LOL
The gallery is bustling as if a riot has broken out, with posts being rapidly uploaded.
Most of them question why Demon King-chan was chosen as a blue badge holder.
No need for explanations.
I chuckled while browsing through the gallery. They’re asking for an explanation, but there’s nothing to explain.
I wanted someone who seemed like a proper NEET, and I found a candidate that fit the bill.
That’s why I chose them.
‘Demon King-chan types actually do a good job.’
Still, this one fits the bill,
Spends all day posting trash and commenting.
That alone is enough to pass for diligence.
Reading every post diligently as they gallivant through the gallery? That’s a top-tier talent.
I pressed the buttons on the screen firmly.
【Demon King-chan’s Data】
―Monthly average posts: 1,132
―Monthly average comments: 1,233
Aside from the post-comment ratio, they’re a diligent user.
It’s just that their diligence is misdirected.
By reading each post, I also verified what kind of person Demon King-chan is.
Data accumulated over countless hours of gallivanting and offline meetups (escaped 5 times) speaks volumes.
This person is both real and fake.
‘Consistently playing a role already means they’re not a normal person.’
If their mind broke down, they would spend all day writing depressing or weird posts.
So maintaining their roleplay diligently even amidst insults from others?
365 days a year? For several years without a break?
It’s not easy. In fact it’s very difficult.
There were two main reasons I valued Demon King-chan highly.
Incomparable diligence and an unbreakable will!
No one else could be more suited for a blue badge holder.
‘Agitators like being blue badge holders, after all.’
They enjoy the attention more because it draws more aggro. They like the badge not for the power it gives but purely for the attention.
They’ll likely protect and be active in the gallery to gain more attention.
As for spewing trash, well, for attention-seekers, it’s as natural as breathing, so they can’t stop.
There will be challenges, but somehow it’ll work out.
That’s the expectation.
What if Demon King-chan goes off the rails and becomes a real cyber psychopath?
Then I’ll have to write this kind of post.
―Ha… sorry… LOL ㅇㅇ;;
Basically, admitting my mistake.
I just hope that doesn’t happen.
I idly typed up a post.
─Moderator
Title: Don’t underestimate Demon King-chan ;;
No need to talk
It will show through actions.
ㄴWow LOL look at that spirit
ㄴThe yellow badge holder is really a lunatic LOL
ㄴA duo of absolute lunatics LOL
ㄴWhat’s this guy so confident about?
ㄴBeing the yellow badge holder, that’s what LOL
ㄴAct up and you get banned LOL
ㄴThen there’s nothing we can do
ㄴWhy comply so easily LOL
Title: Why It’s Good That It’s Demon King-chan. txt
Doesn’t come with a tactical nukeㅇㅇ;;
The kid is niceㅇㅇ;;
ㄴA nice kid ranks 1st in gallery creation monthly, huh? LOL
ㄴSo nice, only posts trash every day dd
ㄴIs ‘nice’ translated as ‘poops a lot’ in Majeros?
ㄴPeople who become ‘nice’ in the bathroom LOL
Choosing a notorious user as a blue badge holder seems to have created a not-too-bad reaction, right?
Maybe.
Ding.
That’s when a new notification popped up.
【Administrator chat has been activated.】
