NOVEL NEXT chapter 28
28 – Interlude: Void Gallery of Another World
After the whirlwind of speculation had cooled and even the buzz dried up, a small party was held in the gallery.
It was a chicken and beer party for the galleurs who could now purchase chicken.
Title) Woah, this chicken’s amazing
Chicken + beer, cola, cider
Whatever you eat with, combination is insane ㅇㅇ
ㄴ I’ve just ordered chicken too ㅋㅋ
ㄴ There’s no way you can’t eat this chicken?
ㄴHey, where is such a place that doesn’t serve chicken ㅋㅋ?
Title) Shall we press disapprove for Elan who can’t eat chicken?
First, I’m not one ᄏᄏ
Recommendations: 182, Disapprovals: 3919
ㄴ I’m not either ㅋㅋ
ㄴ Me neither? ㅋㅋ
ㄴ ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Yeah, you don’t have to eat chicken
ㄴ The elves are pissed ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ The elves are sobbing, going vegetarian ㅋㅋ
ㄴ Yeah, chicken’s nothing, elf-style smoked chicken is much tastier.
– Nah, absolutely not. Lol
– Smoked? LOLLLLL
– Can’t mix that absolutely, seriously ROFL
– New world, really?
– Damn, you’ll change your mind after tasting this, lol
– I’d accept if you’d fry some chicken right now, for real, lol
– Let’s fry chicken with oil squeezed from the world tree’s fruit, lol
– The elves are crying, lol
– Likely to enjoy while elves are crying
– Sob… sob… so, this is how the world tree tastes…
– sh*t, LOLLLLLLLLLLL
– You crazy bastard, lol
– If you raise a chicken with the feed made from the purified leaves of the world tree, make oil from the world tree fruit, and then fry it, it would be world tree chicken… wow
– Kyah, LOL. I admit world tree chicken
– Seems like it would taste good if just fried this
– My mouth is getting watery now
– You!!!!!!!
– LOLLLLL
– Elf massacre, lol
– Elves, lol
– Didn’t think world tree would receive this kind of treatment, lol
– Yeah, lol. Your world tree was tasty, lol
Title) Did bake grandma elf taste this? It’s delicious
-Plant Druid) …I don’t know
– Stop teasing grandma, lol
– Grandma doesn’t eat these because she doesn’t like it, yeah…
– Teeth will fall out if she chews it wrong, yeah;;;
-Plant Druid) It’s not that my teeth are so bad,…
– LOL, is it true that her teeth are bad
hahahaha!
(Plant Druid) This one’s sturdy!!!
Galboong-ies teasing mean as always hahahaha
Title) Vierdo finally caved and opened up chicken too
Looks like they paid up too, huh?
Right, there’s no reason not to
I heard they waived profits and just asked to open sales
That’s not bad at all
Seems like a strategic choice
Getting chicken for 300-400k gold is decent
What about Elan?
These guys, lol, just lol
The inside atmosphere is like tripe, lol
Why?
The elf elders grinding their teeth about how chicken is no good, those bastards
hahahahaha!
Old-timer elders again, lol
Should load these ancient elders on a stretcher and send them to the mountains, lol
Light ’em up
So that’s what you meant by burning, hahahaha
If it were me, I’d bury them
Old-timer elders~ you gotta live strong here too~
Releasing them hahahaha, so many methods
It’s right to release the elders, indeed hahahaha
So, the elves don’t object?
The elders have too much power, gotta watch out
Just have to wait for them to die naturally…
Been waiting 50 years…
I’ve been waiting for 150 years…
What does this say?
Lol
Title) Why the Elven Elders Are Terrible
There’s no need to look at the gallery, they said and didn’t check it. Lol
They have no intention to keep up with the time.
They genuinely believe they’re always right and have the answer to everything. Seriously… Pure madness.
Truly, MFers lol
Their long lifespans making them nonchalant is part of the problem.
I’ll not age like them
Those elderly who said they won’t age have aged…
Sigh.
Damn, I don’t want to grow old. Lol
Seriously, I don’t want to age now. Lol
Title) Proof that Elves Can’t Eat Chicken
(Golden-brown fried chicken [chieftain].jpg)
Wow
Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside
Great, lol
One bite, then straight swig of beer
Wowww lol
This is life lol
Title) Proof of Outdoor Life
(Outdoor table with chicken and beer.jpg)
This is life. lol
?
Hey.
This isn’t life.
We, as a society, agreed to call this ‘Chimaek’…
Honestly, it’s more ‘Chimaek’ than life.
It’s a level of ‘Unlucky life’ at this stage. Lol.
Duty Defense vs. Chimaek
Post-game chat lol
Should have ordered this one hahahaha
When they ask to do it on the day I don’t feel like doing it, LOL seriously
Gritting my teeth on such days Lol
Heck yeah, there’s never a day I don’t want chicken lol
– The Sucker
Title: I confirm as a night owl
(Chicken Skewers.jpg)
Thoughts?
You SOB, eat some damn chicken lol
No lol
You have a ton of money!!!! What are you still eating chicken skewers!
The Sucker: I spent it all on the gallery, I have nothing now.
f*cking guy lol
Madman… Madman… Madman… Madman…
That money??
Where did all that money go lol?
The Sucker: It’s the money for our kids… the academy…
LOL, where are our kids?
Our kids (gallery refugees)
Are you raising these as your children? Lol, hilarious lol
He is a madman indeed lol
Is this considered a child…?
Can’t you disown them?
If it were me, I did already lol
I did disown them already lol
Gallery refugees…
What are you doing then?
No, I mean; I gambled with the house deed, got screwed; was planning to pay it back triple, but damn, you really don’t see the big picture.
What do you mean “no”? The hell, seriously, lol.
I’m bragging, you fool, lol.
You’re lucky you didn’t end up dead.
You should always be thankful to your parents, hahahaha.
Title: Fascinating Points about Chicken
Even cold, it’s crispy.
Why doesn’t it get soggy?
How can frying chicken taste this good?
If we knew, everyone would be frying it the same way, hahahaha.
Even top chefs are researching constantly, lol.
Yep, lol, but it doesn’t work out, hahahaha.
You think it would work out just because they try? lol
If that were the case, the neighbor’s Poppy would have been fried too, hahahaha.
Why would you fry Poppy…?
Poppy, who guarded the house, is crying, T-T.
Turns out, it wasn’t Poppy doing the frying, but getting fried…
Poppy, now useless, has become fried…
Why would you say it like that?
Ugh, garbage.
No, lol, damn, it’s interpreted that way.
Title: The F*ck, Is This Place Gallery or a Chicken Coop?
I ordered chicken too.
Man, it’s a chicken coop…
There are worse places than chicken coops.
For you, I present a dwarf grandmother.
I didn’t ask for that!!!!
Damn, this chicken is insanely good.
Is this what Jooduck eats every day?
Did he bring some because he tried it?
I’ve lost about 300 years of my life.
I’ve lost 450 years lol
Lol, I’ve only suffered a 100-year loss lololol
Long-living creatures, you all! lol
Looking at you happily typing away now, you look like children.
Title) Pray That You Are an Elf
Once I die, there’ll be no more chicken lol
No, no!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will find a way to survive lol
You’ve always found a way to survive, right?
Survived (litch)
Damn it lol, do I have to survive even if I am cursed?
Yes, from cola to chicken, you absolutely can’t die lol
Everyone was in a festive mood eating chicken soup.
Darkness always coexists with light.
As the gallery raised their chickens in joy, there were those who were in tears.
The gallery auction sells all sorts of items.
In particular, it filled the hungry stomachs of artists who were struggling with realistic issues.
Do you make money from painting?
Will writing novels every day and serializing them make any money??
Artists who tasted the flavor of money took the path of commercial writers….
The paintings and novels of those who displayed their work at the auction became the talk of the gallery.
In a very bad way.
– Chick

Title: Author of “My Best Friend in the Shadows Under the Moon”…
I’ll be taking a break for a month… I’m not feeling well…
ㄴYou’re really coming back after a month, right?
ㄴI will wait.
ㄴHuh???
ㄴOne month is enough, right?
ㄴPlease promise me you’ll come back.
ㄴWhy aren’t you coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴYou’re not really not coming back, are you?
Title: Reward of My Day!!!!!
(Post a crying meme)
Give it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴPlease, author, I’ll behave. Please come back!!!!!!!
ㄴI’ll write reviews, sponsor, comment and even relay, just come back now.
ㄴDamn, what do you mean you’re not well?!!!!!!! I’ll give you an elixir, just come back faster!!!
“Will you come back?”
An author who returns from a hiatus is as rare as a unicorn who loves a spinster academy girl.
Joo-Jjig knew this.
He’d seen countless authors disappear in the modern world…
It was a common sight when running a minor gallery related to novels.
“Sigh…”
If you’re lucky, the serialization will resume.
If not, it’s best not to hold onto any lingering regrets.
With that thought, he averted his eyes elsewhere as usual.
Surprisingly, Joo-Jjig’s gallery life can get quite dull.
Few activities, lots of spectating.
Naturally, downtime happens.
Following his usual routine, Joo-Jjig explored old posts on the gallery.
While reading those posts, several thoughts crossed his mind.
Ah. The period without Joo-Jjig was hell.
Even with the help of Juddak, it was hell.
Is Juddak no longer active?
They’ve always been busy wallpapering, even now.
Why isn’t there a page jump? Do I have to turn each page individually? There must be tens of millions of pages. Is this a sh*tty gallery?
I can barely remember reading each page.
I guess… I’ve read no less than a few thousand pages. I’ve read quite a lot.
Since the remaining time was all spent diving into old posts.
While continuously reading, there was a part that caught Juddak’s eye.
─ Please recommend lunch for today [2]
─ There are a lot of women I fancy at this festival [3]
─ Errand memo [35]
─ Hey, remember the old gallery’s named? [17]
─ Old gallery legend ㅋㅋ [6]
─ Gallery basics. Real talk. [10]
Like being cut with a knife, the gallery’s breadcrumbs stopped at a certain point.
Gallery breadcrumbs do not pass like this.
Traces always linger faintly and many people’s footprints remain.
Juddak, who has over 13 years of gallery experience, knows that fact better than anyone else.
But this time, the gallery’s breadcrumbs were ‘replaced’ unusually quickly.
“…something is strange?”
Juddak noticed the blank space in the gallery.
