NOVEL NEXT chapter 34
34: Alternate World Great Depression Gallery
A White room.
A woman lying peacefully with her eyes closed opened her mouth.
“Is it done?”
“Yes. The wounds were fatal, he won’t survive.”
At his answer, the woman murmured in a calm voice.
“We are one step closer to closing the gallery.”
The gallery is a monstrosity that should disappear from this world.
It’s something that disrupts the world’s order.
Its disappearance is the right verdict.
She let out a scoff.
“All for the sake of order.”
***
Lately, the continent was prosperous.
Although someone living in the Teseur Empire suffered a loss, the majority of people living on the continent benefitted.
The Gallery spreading across the continent had a positive influence.
It’s understandable. The cultural artifacts from the gallery weren’t just one or two pieces.
Appearing from auction houses covering the entire continent were exciting and tasty foods, starting with cola.
The nobility and the wealthy, who were always hoarding money, invested in securities.
These movements stimulated the continental economy and made people happy.
“Wow, look at that splendid chicken!”
Oliver, who was generally loafing at home, was also pleased as he tore into his chicken.
─ Wow, look at this gallery
Title: Praise to the Ju-jjak, Day 38
Oh my Ju..ㅠㅠ
Agghㅠㅠ
I can’t live without Ju-jjak~
Here come the Ju-fans again;;
Ju-jjak is screwed up
Those who try to make a fuss in the gallery praising Ju-jjak are disgustingㅋㅋ
Hmm ;; Is that right ;;
Yeah, ㅋㅋ Ju-jjak is nothing but bubbles~
The bubble doesn’t burst.
Is this a bubble?
What were the others so far then?
It’s funny to see someone blatantly disrespecting Ju-jjak.
Is Ju-jjak funny? Huh???
Honestly it’s a bit funnyㅋㅋ
If you only look at his chest, he’s good… If you negotiate with a pretty mama, your negotiation success increases…
ㅋㅋㅋ Isn’t that actually good?
What if we bring the best mama from each country….?
The life of Ju-jjak is happiness ㅋㅋㅋ
Ignore the ones mocking Ju-jjak.
We should take away their cola.
Yeah, you guysㅋㅋ Stop eating chickenㅋㅋ
You guys should just leave the gallery.
“Can’t we just leave the continent?”
The power consolidating to Jujak might have been frowned upon by someone, but it was none of the concern to common folks.
Isn’t every day happy if you frequently consume cola and chicken? Why would anyone dislike Jujak?
If they liked Jujak who brought over such addictive cultures, they liked him. They didn’t hate him.
Title) If You’re Normal, You Can’t Hate Jujak
He always blew up theeen
He always destroys with new cultural items that melt their brains lol
Chicken ＜＜ Do you know this has already become an indispensable menu in bars and pubs?

-Is he not human?
-Oh, I see lol I didn’t know lol
-You should eat moderately lol
-Is he really Ham Human lol?
-(Honest Statement) But, I’m getting used to it, so it’s boring
-Are you familiar with the auction house brought by Joo-deok or something, cola chicken?
Um… this is quite ordinary, yes…
Yeah, even Juttak lost its charm, yes.
These guys are really crazy, hahahaha, have they gone mad?
Juttak’s punch is definitely no joke, hahahaha.
Next time, do you know what Juttak will bring and start blabbering about? hahahaha!
Is it true that Juttak is not ‘sincere’ yet?
It’s too much!
Not long after Juttak appeared, the whole world was immersed in the gallery.
Juttak was an unrivaled genius who conquered the continent.
Bumboo showed overwhelming power that no one could match.
What happened on the continent became a temptation in the gallery.
What happened in the gallery affected the continent.
In such a situation, it was easy for anyone to predict that Juttak’s stock price would rise sky-high.
But if one could predict the future, they wouldn’t be a loser in the stock market every day like Galbong.
There was a reason why Calias was called a great prophet for no reason.
Everyone was surprised by the unexpected turn of events.
─What? The auction house is closed?
Huh?
Really?
No, what is happening?
What about the items left at the auction house?
Exactly, damn it!
No, my gold coins!
No, my items!
My precious goods!!!!!!!!
─What the hell is going on?
No way, where did Juttak go?
??????
What? Juttak has disappeared?
─And all the scammers got their heads chopped off too?
Gallery panicked.
***
When does a panic occur?
Is it when a wicked scammer deceives dozens, hundreds of tenants with false lease contracts?
Or when the credit for local bonds collapses due to the construction of an amusement park?
Perhaps when a grand auction house is obliterated? When the playground one used to enjoy disappears?
Or maybe when the beloved restaurant vanishes, leaving an empty hole in one’s heart…?
Whether it’s consuming poisonous mushroom soup or getting one’s arm bitten by an insignificant fish…?
The answer was everything.
It was a catastrophe that would occur if everything happened at once.
In other words, it was the situation that unfolds when the critical head suddenly vanishes.
“… The critical head is dead?”
It was the mutterings of the Emperor, who was casually sipping cola while inspecting the gallery.
The thorn in the side, the critical head, had disappeared.
Who was the one continually breathing life into the kingdom?
It was the one openly watching over the kingdom from behind—the critical head.
Since the critical head had died, one should rejoice and cheer, but the Emperor couldn’t smile.
“Ersha. Right now—”
“Your Majesty, it is already too late to withdraw.”
“What?”
“The imperial stocks have collapsed, and the bonds we hold have turned into pieces of paper. We couldn’t sell them because we had such a large quantity.”
“…”
That’s right.
Even though I detest speculation, all the money invested to ride the tide of the times has gone up in smoke.
Others may have suffered the same fate, but that was not a good thing.
The important thing is to avoid falling into trouble.
Who would be happy about being hit less while everyone is mired in trouble?
The emperor, like Christ, could only drink cola with a bitter feeling.
“Ersha.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“…Take the day off today. Cancel all the scheduled events for today.”
“Yes, understood.”
Chris, who lost a lot of money in an instant, let out a hollow laugh.
Although he hated speculation, he didn’t hate chicken, cola, and economic activation due to the auction market.
His eyes moistened slightly.
“Wait… I want to be alone.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will stand guard outside.”
After Ersha left,
The emperor, who was left alone, looked out the window at the dark sky.
“Oh, how I miss you already, Chicken…”
It was a texture of crispy and moist flesh that he couldn’t forget.
While someone in the empire suffered tremendous losses and endured the sorrow of losing chicken, a hellish scene unfolded in the gallery.
Title: Dom Huang Chaat lolololololol

Title: F**k, My Chicken!!!!!!!
I want to eat chicken, but today, when I was about to go home in a good mood, I opened the auction house with my clothes ready, f**k.

No, give me back the chicken…
Please, I will praise you every day…

F**k, there’s someone in this community who predicted this situation.
This bastard is just crazy, hahahaha.
Wow, seriously… I’m screwed too, I only have 4 colas left.
With this talent, you must be good at stocks too, right?
hahahaha, screw off.

This guy also ruined stocks, hahahahaha.
hahahahaha, are stocks easy?? Are wrestling matches easy, hahahahaha?
Wow, I bet cola will taste great.
I’m jealous, but whatever, hahahaha. It’ll be the same once you finish drinking all of it, hahahaha.
Okay, hahahahaha, let’s not be able to find cola anymore, hahahaha.
Where did our source of cola, Juttak, go…
They can’t make us addicted to cola and then disappear!!!!!!!
Title: Hey, newbie…
(Just imagine a gorilla smoking a cigarette)
Resurrection is still alive…
Did your brain catch fire? hahahahaha
How can a person resurrect? hahahaha
Yeah, f*ck, it’s over, the gallery is destroyed.

Title: Surprisingly Less Affected Places
Elan ＜＜ Originally there was nothing special there.
It’s a loss just living in Elan, right?
For real, hahahahaha, hahahahaha, hahahahaha, hahahahaha.
Even just standing there brings damage?
A country that is a disaster itself, hahahahaha.
hahahahaha, hahahahaha, hahahahaha.
Title: Phew, hahahaha, after the market closes, let’s eat.
(Dry and moldy bread with watery soup.jpg)
Eat rice? What the f*ck did I earn, bastard?
You’re eating when even solving it with river water isn’t enough? Are you a noble or what?
Enjoy your meal, hahahahaha.
Damn, saliva dripping down.
Crazy bastards, hahahahaha.
You’re drinking water? These crazy bastards, it’s raining, hahahahaha.
They expect us to just look at the sky and open our mouths, these idiots, hahahahaha.
Title: “Drift Apart, You Bastards LOL”
A: “Darn, hahahaha, can’t help it, lol.”
B: “Is it your birthday today?”
A: “Birthday, for real, lol.”
B: “hahahaha, nice feast you got there, lol.”
A: “This much is a birthday spread, lol.”
Title: “Stop, Stop with the Suicide Talk~~~”
B: “Yeah, I already bought a suicide magic scroll, lol.”
A: “Yeah, I don’t even have money to use for suicide, lol.”
B: “Yeah, lol, I won’t breathe from now on, lol.”
A: “Jeez, lol.”
B: “Yeah, lol.”
A: “I’ll wait until I hit the jackpot, lol.”
Title: “Investing in Bonds Definitely Changed My Life”
When I used to invest moderately, I’d barely touch expensive food and leave it lying around. But ever since I bought bonds, I scrape every last bit from the bottom of the soup bowl. Just now, I finished a bowl with leftover bread crumbs. While showering with cold water, I ask myself, “Who am I?”
“I am the one who invests all my assets in bonds,” I say, shedding tears.
A: “Real tearjerker, huh, aww.”
B: “Hey, I earned money today by selling scrap metal, aww.”
C: “Hey, if you do that bond stuff, you’ll end up broke!”
D: “Hey, umm, can you give me some leftover soup?”
A: “Damn, lol, are we in a ‘broke’ forum?”
B: “In this situation, are we not broke??? Lol, where’s the famous noble family?”
A: “Yeah, I was broke to begin with, no impact, lol. Today, I’ll eat some weeds again, lol.”
B: “Geez, lol.”
In a market crash where everyone lost their minds, there were even those who suffered losses due to the sudden coin crash.
Queen of Elan, Eris.
She was a woman who lost everything after riding a roller coaster to get rid of the jerks who bothered Elan.
“Oh my god!! Why are you doing this to me?!”
She shouted towards the sky beneath the World Tree.
Although she had planned to eliminate the senior jerks, everything turned into a failure.
She secretly tried to approach the roller coaster and show hidden affection through discreet chats with the administrators.
Was that not enough? She even practiced the seductive dance moves of the traditional Elven courtship in case she encountered the roller coaster.
The perfect and meticulous design turned into bubbles.
“The revolution… has failed….”
Eris, the leader of Elan, saw her revolutionary plan crumble like this.
The world doesn’t go as planned!
Above all, she felt regretful for not having tasted fried chicken, spicy stir-fried chicken noodles, and pizza.
“Where should I vent this anger?!”
She despised the world.
And she prayed to the sky.
Let all of this be a lie.
Let the roller coaster be alive.
When Eris, the Queen of Elan, the great leader of the elves, and the representative of jerks, yelled a hollow cry to the sky…
There was someone else who denied reality along with her.
“The roller coaster is dead….”
With cold yet arrogant eyes, overwhelming charisma, and even cola in the wine glass in his hand.
Queen Mazeros. The demon queen, Arzella, muttered as if it were pitiful.
“It doesn’t make sense….”
Did they expect to die so insignificantly?
It was hard to believe that the roller coaster was dead.
The operation to bring him back to Mazeros turned into bubbles….
But above all, there was another serious matter.
“Now, who will manage the gallery….”
The death of the roller coaster, who had been managing the chaotic gallery until now…
It was a disappointing event for Arzella, the gallery’s wicked plunder conceptor.
Now, with just a few clicks, you could see your grandmother or your grandfather once by writing a few words.
The deterioration of the gallery’s water quality was an anticipated occurrence.
“This week’s talent was exceptional. It’s a shame….”
From now on, I won’t be able to see such exceptional talent again.
He was a person with such outstanding ability.
That’s why I had planned to treat him to a full course of chicken mayo rice bowl….
But now, he has become a star in the sky.
“It’s a pity that he couldn’t enjoy the ultimate skirt covered dish. Farewell, my talented one.”
Arsella sighed, mourning for poor Juttak.
Already, various slanderous and malicious comments were flooding the gallery, deepening the sighs.
And at that moment.
It was a catastrophic event… the hero, Kaira Luz.
“….”
She stared at the gallery with empty eyes.
