Became an Archmage That Possessors Were Obsessed With

chapter 12



12 – Keyboard Warrior

After checking revenger’s comment,

revenger (Secret Comment) – Administrator, can we talk for a moment?

I called killer, Choi Ye-bin. And I explained the situation so far to her. I thought that we should seek the opinion of a third party. She listened carefully to what I said and replied blankly.

“It seems like you should just do what you normally do.”

“Normally?”

“Yes. You’ve always been a straightforward troublemaker, right? So, I think you should act just as you are, without any pretense. That will actually increase the credibility of the information.”

I agreed with Choi Ye-bin’s words. And without hesitation, I immediately replied. Of course, in a secret comment.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – ㅇㅇ?

revenger – It’s because of the post I just uploaded. Can I see the original photo?

[Research Journal of a Practicing Mage, EP2. Using Magic Equivalent to a Nuclear Bomb without Sacrifices. The Process of Improving Mass Destruction Magic.]

It was the post I just uploaded. It was a research journal that proved that mass destruction magic can be used without corpses or blood and still have the power equivalent to a nuclear bomb. If the contents of the post I just uploaded were true, even if a surprise war were to break out, the attacking force would be annihilated in an instant.

Of course, such a thing is impossible. The power of mass destruction magic is directly proportional to the number of corpses and blood on the battlefield. However, using SNS techniques changes things. Specific facts and research content about mass destruction magic. So, you just need to write down a few facts and then add a short lie afterwards.

90% truth. And the 10% lie confuses the judge greatly. The content is too specific to be dismissed as a mere prank, most of it is true, and yet the 10% content is questionable.

It would have been difficult for revenger, who dreams of a surprise war, to ignore my post. If my post is not fabricated, then the merit of launching a surprise war to prevent mass destruction magic would mostly disappear.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Did you like the post I uploaded? But why do you need the original?

revenger – I have something I’m curious about.

Based on the fact that you believed the previous post without question but don’t believe this one, it seems that Revenger is not an ordinary person. You must have felt that something was off no matter how much you thought about it. It’s an incredibly unreasonable ability from the perspective of someone who would be on the receiving end of a mass slaughter magic without any sacrifices.

Now, what should I do? All the data has already been manipulated by magic. I can show you the research journal anytime you want. However, showing it without any compensation is a lowly act. When inciting and fabricating, one must always think multiple times.

“If I really found the research journal of a genuine battle mage and someone asked to see the original, how would I react?”

There is no option to simply show it, of course.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – State your offer.

revenger – ??

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Call a price. Why would I give you the original for free?

revenger – Please, let’s make a deal. It’s a really important matter.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – I don’t know.

Revenger already thought that the administrator wasn’t MacDuras, but to further reinforce that belief, they pretended to act like a scoundrel. Furthermore, to increase the trustworthiness of the research journal, they chose to hide the information.

revenger – But isn’t almost everything already public? Just let me see the original photo once. Why are you being like this when you’ve already posted all the information on the public board?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Sir. Even when I throw away something I don’t use, if someone tries to pick it up, they want to sell it for money. It’s human psychology.

Choi Ye-bin, who was next to them, sighed. By the way, in the Milsogal, the possessed individuals can confirm each other’s interfaces by mutual agreement. But even with her sigh, I paid no attention.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – State your offer. Or I’ll block you.

revenger – Don’t provoke me. You seem to have been possessed in the same novel as me. If I meet you, I’ll really kill you. Should I beg you to spare me while groveling on the ground?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Come and find out. Maybe we can trace your IQ? Then I’ll file a lawsuit if I get the PDF.

— — —

The core of the Succubus Union.

A captivating figure and appearance. And long horns protruding from her head. The leader of the Succubus Union with wings on her back, Semili, also known as the strongest succubus in history, destroyed the desk she was sitting at.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the desk collapses. However, the girl’s gaze is solely focused on the virtual interface of the Maelstrom that is floating in the air.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Come and find me. Can you trace IQ? Then I’ll sue you by extracting the PDF.

The Administrator’s arrogant behavior makes her teeth chatter. The disgusting voyeur seems to view the desperation of others as if it were a toy and belittles them.

With the war imminent, obtaining the research journal on mass slaughter magic was essential. If done wrong, despite the surprise attacks by the Succubus Alliance, they could suffer devastating losses. The damages from the previous war had not been fully recovered. If they were to lose again, the authority of numerous races would be crushed, and the Succubi might face extinction.

“Why did the research journal end up in the hands of such a despicable voyeur…”

She doesn’t know why MacDerris, who was so meticulous, lost the research journal, but it was clear that the research journal being uploaded by the Administrator was MacDerris’s. It was because the details of the mass slaughter magic were unbelievably accurate. Did MacDerris intentionally spread the data through the Administrator? Nonsense. The knowledge of mass slaughter magic alone was classified information.

It wasn’t someone who would transmit information to someone else and then publicly disclose it. If there was a possibility, it could be MacDerris himself as the Administrator.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Come and find me. Can you trace IQ? Then I’ll sue you by extracting the PDF.

But this bastard is showing such vulgar and bizarre behavior that it is impossible to even consider him as MacDerris. A man with a reputation as a great magician in this era. A man with the nickname of a slaughterer who holds the lives of tens of millions of people in his hands. Even passing dogs would laugh at him.

“However, I have to see the original photo somehow. If the weaknesses of mass slaughter magic have truly been improved, we have to stop preparing for war.”

After seeing the first data uploaded by the Administrator, she confirmed the fatal weakness of mass slaughter magic, and thanks to that, subsequent data came out about improved magic that compensates for the weaknesses of mass slaughter magic. This is an issue that cannot be ignored.

revenger – What do you want?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – You’re being arrogant in your speech, huh?

revenger – What do you want?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Hm… I wish you would show more respect. Then, I might be able to show you the original photo.

revenger – What do you want, sir?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Oh, now you finally have the tone I like.

“This f*cking bastard is for real!”

As Semyly screams in a fit, the succubi around her start to step back, trembling. Some of them ask if Semyly is okay, but the only response they get is indiscriminate violence.

Semili continued typing with trembling hands.

revenger – Tell me what you want… I can probably give you most of it. It feels like we’ve both been reincarnated into a novel, so feel free to speak comfortably.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – How do you know that we’ve been reincarnated into the same novel? What novel do you think we’ve been reincarnated into?

revenger – The untalented magician dreams of becoming a grand magician, right?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Wow…;

revenger – Ah… You didn’t think that we might have been reincarnated into the same novel? Can we meet for a moment? I want to talk.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Meeting is a bit…

Semili burst into laughter. The administrator behind him, who could exercise physical force on him. In other words, as soon as he realized that they were both reincarnated into the same novel, he noticeably changed his attitude from being reckless.

This is how keyboard warriors are mostly like. They act like cowards in spaces where they think they won’t be harmed, but as soon as they reveal even the slightest information about their identity, such as the region they live in or their name and age, they become scared.

The administrator was no different. The behavior of the administrator, who was undoubtedly a beggar, a wanderer, clearly changed to an attitude befitting his status.

revenger – What do you want? If it’s money, I can give you as much as you want. Let’s meet and talk for now.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Trying to provoke me…

revenger – Why now? Just because I suggested it? Or should I find you myself?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Why are you acting like this just because I messed around a few times… I’ll just send you the original file.

revenger – I have to meet you anyway to receive the item, don’t I?

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – The all-powerful administrator can use the item transfer function. I’ll just send you the original file. It’s not like I have any use for it anyway.

Seeing the administrator’s attitude, I could be sure. This guy was nothing more than a worthless piece of trash.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – But there are a lot of serious data in the original that I didn’t make public… so please look at it alone. If you make a mistake, it could be a really big problem.

revenger – Fine. Anyway, try using the transfer function or whatever it is.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Okay. Please tell me when there’s no one around… I could also be in danger for no reason.

Semili moved to a secluded place where there was no one around. MacDerris’s research journal was classified as highly confidential. She didn’t want anyone to accidentally see it.

revenger – I’m alone now. Send the item.

ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Please press accept.

After a moment, a message appeared in front of her.

[The administrator of the gallery in the destroyed novel wants to use the warp function to your location. Do you accept?]

Revenger, Semili hurriedly pressed the accept button.

Bright light began to spread wildly around her, making her worried that people nearby might notice, but Semili didn’t care. The place she was in now was her independent space completely cut off from the outside world. Surely, no one would be able to see these bright lights, not even hear them.

As the light started to diminish, something in the shape of paper appeared.

Just as Semili was about to reach out her hand.

Beyond the light, an unpleasant energy started to ripple. Then, the voice she was familiar with, the voice she had heard and encountered before, became clear.

“Oh, it’s you.”

As soon as she heard the voice from her colleague, Semili hurriedly tried to run outside.

Bang!

MacDerris used telekinesis to slam Semili onto the ground and muttered.

“That’s strange. You said you wanted to meet earlier…”

“Why are you trying to run away now?”
