Another perfectly uneventful day.
From the wee hours until sunrise, I was pulling my night-shift home-security duty, wandering the forums.
When I checked the clock, it was already 7 a.m.
‘It’s about time for someone to post [Early Bird Wake-Up!!] in the gallery.’
For someone like me, who goes to sleep when office workers are heading to work, it was basically a sleep notification.
‘I’ll browse for just one more hour, then sleep.’
When I refreshed, the gallery’s topic had already changed.
[Title: What difficulty would you guys pick if you got kidnapped into the Tower?]
[Post]
[Me, I’m gonna vacation in Easy Mode
I’ll be a cook or a blacksmith or something]
Usually the gallery’s topics were the same obvious bait, like arguing over whether Meteor was earth magic or fire magic, or “10 million won if you survive a month in this room,” so it had been a while since I’d found a fresh one.
‘A big-name fixed-nick like me can’t sit out on bait like this.’
With trolling skills honed over seventeen shining years of forum life, I crafted an elegant post.
[Title: IfYouWon’tPickHardModeCutYourDickOff lol]
[Post]
[EasyModeIsOnlyAllowedUpToElementarySchoolKids yep]
[An emoticon of a blue-haired VTuber character going dyu…]
‘Come to think of it, wasn’t getting dragged into the Tower after writing this kind of post the standard rule?’
At that moment, my phone flashed.
“Ah.”
