chapter 17
17 – Introduction of the New Administrator Function
As the gallery in this community was named “Annihilation,” the people who could enter here were generally not in good condition.
Sometimes there were cases like LovePeace, preparing for academy admission, but there was also a world where one’s life swung back and forth every few minutes, like a killer being chased by dozens of assassins.
So, I thought I wouldn’t be surprised no matter what kind of person appeared.
Until this comment was posted by that guy.
holly trust – We must all praise the administrator
holly trust – The administrator is a god
holly trust – The administrator will save us
holly trust – Administrator administrator administrator administrator administrator administrator We must worship their name
His nickname was holly trust. He was a guy who kept preaching about believing in God while praising on the bulletin board. There are surprisingly many people like this. Even LovePeace had taken on the concept of pacifism, hadn’t they? holly trust was just a monotheist. But strangely, I felt more and more that this existence called “God” was becoming connected to me.
holly trust – The administrator is a god
holly trust – Please save us, the wretched, and give hope to those who have lost their lives.
The repeated praise and worship messages had gradually turned into the desperate plea of someone longing for salvation. It had become a relentless barrage that couldn’t be taken lightly. Frankly, at this point, it was scary.
ㅇㅇ [Administrator] – Title: Ah, I’m bored.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Administrator, please cast a warp spell.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Administrator, I left a secret comment. Please check it…
ㄴ holly trust – I bow 108 times a day towards the direction of the Administrator. Please grant us salvation.
No matter what I wrote, holly trust had started to fanatically worship me. The reason is unknown. It started to get strange when I began posting the Archmage’s research journal, but holly trust’s fanaticism only increased after I posted the following message on the bulletin board:
[Practical Research Journal of the Archmage, Part 3 – How to Travel to Another Dimension with Warp Magic]
The content was simple. It was about how warp magic could be used to travel to another dimension. We were all possessed by different novels. Originally, it was believed that interference between them was impossible, but things changed after I posted that message.
[Someone else can save our world in the novel.]
If travel was possible, then it meant that exerting influence was also possible. In other words, warp magic was nothing short of a great hope for desperate people.
For example, let’s imagine that they fell into a world without any resources due to a massive disaster. They would have to kill someone in order to obtain food. But on the other hand, let’s assume they were incarnated in a peaceful world, even one with magic. These people would not only have abundant food production, but also high labor efficiency, resulting in low prices.
What would happen if the latter could support the former with supplies? It would be a true salvation for them.
I could roughly guess holly trust’s situation. He was probably incarnated in a desperate world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so desperate to find god and seek salvation.
holly trust – The Administrator is a god. The Administrator will give us hope.
Calling the Administrator or the operator a god is one of the countless “games” in the community.
Like saying “If you hate the Administrator, you’re an idiot,” it was just one of the meme-like phrases. But holly trust didn’t seem to be using it as a joke.
holly trust – Administrator, Administrator, Administrator, Administrator, I will worship you. Please take care of us, the unfortunate ones, and kindly bestow upon us your miracles.
“What on earth is going on?”
As I muttered to myself, Choi Ye-bin and Lovepeace, who had somehow appeared, started coming towards me.
“What’s the matter?”
Lovepeace (Rienna) asked, and I showed her the floating thread of mockery.
“hehehe… This person is a little scary. Why do they act like this?”
Choi Yebin nodded.
“It seems like they have a stalker.”
“Rienna, Choi Yebin. This is a post and comment list written by someone called Holly Trust. Could you help me dig through it to see if there’s any useful information?”
I sent the record of Holly Trust’s posts to Lovepeace (Rienna) and Killer (Choi Yebin) in separate messages. It was too much for me to search alone, so I asked the girls next to me for help.
Not long after, Choi Yebin dryly said,
“I think I know why they’re doing this.”
“Why are they doing this? Have you seen anything?”
“It’s written in their previous posts. This person seems to be a saint in a world on the verge of destruction. Generally, saints tend to gain more power as their faith increases, but it seems like there’s no proper god in that world. This Holly Trust person, based on their early posts, requested salvation from various gods, believing in Buddhism, Christianity, and religions they had never heard of before.”
At that moment, Lovepeace shouted from the side.
“I… I found something too!”
Lovepeace turned her mockery window towards us and pointed. There, lonely comments from Holly Trust existed.
[Holly Trust – Hundreds of people are starving to death every day. If there is such a thing as a god, please grant a little salvation in this wretched world.]
We wondered which post the comment was on, but it turned out they had commented on their own post. The title of the post was as follows:
[Prayer]
Holly Trust had a record of posting prayers every day in the past. It was like a diary, where they wrote about their situation and appeals one by one.
“How can we help this person?”
Rienna looked at Holly Trust’s comment with a sad expression and spoke. I pondered for a moment.
“Do I really need to take the risk?”
Every time I warp into another novel, my body is constantly restrained. It usually takes about 24 hours for the restrictions to be lifted, but it’s too dangerous. If I want to use the Administrator’s warp magic to support Holly Trust, I eventually have to move to that world too, but I didn’t want to bear any more risks.
“I’ve made up my mind. I’ll ignore it.”
But then, at that moment.
[24 hours have passed. You can now use the restricted magic.]
[As you have successfully completed the second warp, you will be granted new Administrator functions.]
I chuckled when I saw the Administrator functions.
Perhaps, Holly Trust really is receiving the grace of the gods.
[Transmission: You can send desired items to specific individuals.]
—
After parting ways with Lovepeace, I returned to the original novel. And as soon as I arrived, I told the disciples of Matap to bring a large amount of potions.
“What do you plan to use such a large quantity for?”
“I’m planning to use them for testing.”
“Understood.”
Over a thousand low-grade potions. It was quite a large quantity, but it wasn’t difficult to procure the materials. Matap had many outstanding magicians, and most of them could use alchemy. Considering that the efficiency of alchemy increases as the magician’s level rises, I could probably make a thousand low-grade potions in no time, even by myself. Moreover, I could freely mobilize Matap’s magicians as I pleased, using the pretext of being a war hero.
It wasn’t difficult to buy with money, make them myself, or allocate personnel to produce them. But it was a product that had a certain performance for wound recovery.
It was suitable for testing.
“Are you really going to do it?”
Choi Ye-bin asked with a worried voice, but I nodded.
And immediately wrote a post.
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Title: What’s this? Looks like a new administrator function.
Body: It seems we can send items. Did I receive a reward for unlocking the Grand Magician’s research journal?
The reactions in the comments were quite explosive. Normally, there would have been mostly aggressive comments accusing me of trolling, but since I recently unlocked Part 3 of the Grand Magician’s research journal, it seemed that people thought I was stating actual facts rather than trying to provoke.
I am planning to distribute 1,000 inferior potions to 1,000 people. This is to verify if the items are successfully transmitted without any issues.
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Title: Distributing Feed.
First 1,000 people, leave a comment.
Two hours later, I anxiously checked the post.
There were 3,733 comments.
It was the highest number of comments ever recorded on the infamous forum. Most of them expressed a desire to receive the feed without even knowing what it was, but a few also criticized me.
ㅇㅇ – Seriously, what kind of idiots believe this logically? Do they really think the administrator can send items to 1,000 people?
ㄴㅇㅇ – Yeah, for real. They trust the troll who just happened to unlock the research journal?
Unfortunately, their comments would be met with a concentrated backlash from the community.
Well, just now, I heard a cheerful sound.
[The items have been successfully transmitted to the designated 1,000 gallery members.]
