Became an Archmage That Possessors Were Obsessed With

chapter 18



18 – A New Encounter

Inferior potions. However, as they were made in Matop, the quality of the items was exceptional, and they were instantly transmitted to 1,000 members. Those who had believed that it was impossible to exchange items or exert influence on others through the community function were amazed and cheered.

ㅇㅇ – Who is this administrator? Did the potions really arrive?

ㅇㅇ – Wow, I’m going crazy. I also verified the potions.

ㅇㅇ – What is this? I’m an alchemist, and while this is an inferior potion, the efficiency is incredible. It must have been quite expensive to purchase.

ㅇㅇ – The administrator is not joking. How can he casually distribute a thousand potions? Did this guy win the lottery or something?

The response on the bulletin board was mostly favorable. Some praised me, thinking that the 1,000 people who received the potion might drop another “Kongomul,” while others who didn’t receive it realized that they could still supply me with items or materials.

holly trust – My prayers have reached the heavens. Administrator, we must praise you.

The atmosphere on the bulletin board was almost insane. From this, I could tell that the transmission function was working properly. Choi Ye-bin, who was in another room, came to me to talk.

“Administrator, I also received a potion.”

Since Choi Ye-bin (killer) had commented within the first 1,000 people, I sent it to him as well. Whether it was the same novel or a different one, the transmission function worked normally. Even if it had to be sent to almost 1,000 people all at once.

The utility of this function was tremendous. Among the countless novel possessors, I was the only one who could influence all the worlds.

ㅇㅇ – Administrator, please take a look at this.

Main text: I’m dying right now, can you send a few more potions? I promise to repay you.

ㅇㅇ – Administrator, we’re running out of pet food.

Main text: Is there anything other than low-grade potions? If possible, please send delicious food or a gaming console.

ㅇㅇ – Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

Main text: A post begging the administrator for more pet food.

Although the items I sent to my community friends were just potions, they also realized something. If the administrator wanted, they could send war weapons or similar items and materials. At the same time, they were people with a certain level of wealth.

If someone crazy enough to send 1,000 potions for a simple test didn’t have considerable wealth, it would have been impossible. However, as always, those who envy power tend to appear.

ㅇㅇ – You little troublemaker trying to provoke the administrator. You’re lucky a new feature came out, and you’re ranting again.

I tried to pass by, thinking it was just a post cursing at me, but there was a padlip in the main text that mentioned my mother and father, so I retaliated.

As soon as I saw the post, I took a screenshot and uploaded it.

Administrator – Please attack on your own. Otherwise, there won’t be any more pet food events.

Main text: (screenshot of the anonymous user cursing at the administrator.jpg)

Immediately, comments started pouring in on my retaliatory post against the anonymous user’s padlip.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want to die? Have you possessed some kind of novel? I’ll find you and kill you.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – It’s because of you that the feed disappeared. You’re just a nuisance. Die. Die. Die.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Sigh… I really don’t understand why these idiots like you even exist.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Do you think you’re the boss, administrator? You’re just a f*cking troublemaker.

Amazing firepower. Users on the bulletin board quickly gathered and started a mass lynching. I posted another comment with a sense of satisfaction.

Administrator – Administrator is happy ㅇㅅㅇ

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Oh wow, look at the cute emoticon the administrator used.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Administrator, when will the next feed be provided? I hope it’s something edible…

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Can you give us potions next time too? The effects are amazing.

Some followed me around begging for feed. Occasionally, there were those who asked for other items they needed, but most of them wanted to receive another potion like the one they had just received.

Well, for those who were possessed by novels that were on the brink of destruction, potions were life-saving items with high efficiency. The existing inferior potions played a role in treating moderate injuries and wounds, but the items I had the martial artists create had different efficiency.

Martial Tower was a place where only the best magicians could enter. Even if they used the materials necessary for making inferior potions, the effects were comparable to intermediate ones. Although it couldn’t reattach severed limbs, if the arm was still intact but mangled, the potion could restore it to its original state.

“Oh, come to think of it, it does have that effect.”

Potions also had a detoxification function. Since it was one of the effects of magic, it had more versatility than ordinary antidotes. If it was a reasonable poison, most of them could be detoxified, so depending on the user, the potion could show remarkable efficiency.

In fact, there were several people who survived thanks to me.

ㅇㅇ – Whoa, what kind of potion is this, Administrator?

Main Text: It says it’s an inferior potion, but the effect is not inferior. I almost died in the battle just now, but I survived after taking this.

In the Mieoso chat community, naturally, they began to speculate about my identity.

ㅇㅇ – Administrator, are you really a grand magician or something? Can you just send such a huge amount of potions as you please? The quality is excellent too.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Seriously? Don’t push it too far. Go back and check their previous posts.

ㄴ Author – There are a lot of crazy people who are geniuses, you know.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Even if they’re crazy, they should be crazy in moderation. Tell that person to read their own writing again. If someone like that is a Grand Magician, I’ll just bite my tongue and die.

ㄴ Author – Or maybe they just had good parents when they possessed?

ㄴ ㅇㅇ – That would be more realistic. I think they’re a rich unemployed person.

Seeing those people gossiping in the community put my mind at ease. It was because they had been using me as bait on the gallery, inflaming others.

Thinking that I had created this tremendous firepower and energy gave me a great sense of fulfillment. Choi Ye-bin, who was beside me, looked at my happy expression and spoke.

“You seem happy.”

“Well, of course. Our friends are praising me.”

“Is it good to receive attention?”

“Naturally. Even though I don’t know how I’ll appear in reality, I’m a fan. I like it when other people praise and cheer for me.”

And I added one more thing.

“In reality, even when they praise me, they only use the word ‘mass murderer.’ Hearing such unfounded praise makes me go crazy.”

The mastermind who led the victory in the war with mass slaughter magic, MacDerrus, was like dynamite, a missile, and a nuclear weapon to people.

No one could maintain a relationship with such a being without hesitation. Anyone who saw him trembled in fear. How many people could there be who could insult me? Could there be anyone who could call me a fan or a stalker? Definitely not.

But it was different in the ridicule gallery. The relationship without hesitation continued, and I enjoyed interacting with them. Sometimes I attacked because I didn’t like being insulted, but that too was a kind of affection.

“When I look at the community, I feel like I’m just an ordinary person like these people. I like that thought.”

As I made a bitter expression, Choi Ye-bin raised her hand awkwardly and spoke.

“And… the admin! We should praise the admin! The great admin!”

“…?”

When I looked at Choi Ye-bin with a bewildered face, she screamed, her cheeks turning red.

“If you like ordinary praise… that’s why I tried imitating what people do in the gallery.”

“Even I find it a bit strange to use community language in real life…”

“I understand. I… I won’t do it again.”

“It was just a joke. It felt good.”

“Are you lying?”

“Well, you’ll know when you see it, right? Check if I’m lying.”

Choi Yebin nodded after a moment.

“I’m glad you’re happy.”

“Yeah. I am. As you saw, my words in Matap are absolute. If I need to criticize, I’ll criticize, and if I need to die, I probably will, right? Can I form a proper relationship with people like that? Absolutely not. What I need is an ordinary person, an ordinary friend like you.”

“Why do you talk about it so casually?”

And Choi Yebin spoke softly.

“To embarrass people.”

I smirked as I looked at the slightly twisted Choi Yebin.

Thank goodness. If I hadn’t warped into the novel that Choi Yebin possessed, I wouldn’t have had a chance to meet her. And the transmission function wouldn’t have been activated either.

“At this point, I have to admit it.”

The administrator function grows. The growth method is simple. If I warp into another novel and survive the random penalties for 24 hours, it seems that a new ability is bestowed upon me.

The hypothesis may be wrong. However, at least I believe that these functions are absolutely necessary for me without any doubts.

Thanks to the warp function, I was able to make friends, and thanks to the transmission function, I was able to receive the sincere attention that I had longed for in the ridicule gallery.

So, what will be the next function?

I think I’ll be able to find out soon. Yeah, I received a reply to the message I sent to Holly Trust before.

Holly Trust – Really… You’re coming into our novel? Are you… Are you here to help…?

Administrator – Yes.

With a brief response, the administrator asked Choi Ye-bin.

“This time, I’ll go to Holly Trust. Can you help me? It seems like only I’m getting penalized.”

“Well… Since there’s nothing else to do, I’ll help you.”

As Choi Ye-bin replied,

A message appeared, saying that my Warp Request to Holly Trust had been accepted. I immediately grabbed the nearby Elixir Box and crouched down.

A bright light enveloped our bodies, and soon our vision was plunged into darkness.

Thud!

The Warp was over in an instant. I landed on the ground with a thud, while Choi Ye-bin landed gracefully.

When I arrived at that place, I couldn’t say a word.

“…”

Choi Ye-bin also maintained silence in the narrow room. A girl in the same space as us.

A saintly figure, so beautiful even without one arm, one leg, and one eye, smiled and greeted us.

“Administrator… Are you the Administrator?”

Looking at the girl who couldn’t even walk properly, I remembered Holly Trust’s post once again. I regretted my mistake in considering her a concept-chaser.

Holly Trust, she was living in hell.
