[Ias Gallery]
[Title: Must-read for newbies starting with this summer vacation event!]

In this game, each class has two weapons they can use, and your playstyle changes completely depending on which weapon you receive.
But for supporters, depending on the weapon you get, you’re split into a support setup or a dealer setup, so if you’re starting Ias with a support character, you absolutely have to get the support setup.
For example, in the case of the Saintess class, you can choose between a Bible and a one-handed sword as your weapon, and the Bible is the support weapon.
If you mess up and get the dealer setup weapon, you’re honestly better off deleting the character and raising it again, so choose carefully.

ㄴNot fake, I pressed upvote 1,000 times
ㄴㄴThat’s what makes it fake
ㄴWasn’t there some bastard who used to run around with a one-handed sword as Saintess back in the day?
ㄴㄴSeongna-jwa?
ㄴㄴThat guy quit lol When he quit, he spammed the gallery with disgusting pics like crazy and probably got perma-banned

[Your party application has been rejected.]
Already the tenth rejection.
Even I could tell what the problem was by this point.
“Is my character customization too ugly?”
Black skin that looked like it could go into stealth the moment the surroundings got even slightly dark, and avatar colors with RGB values pushed to extremes.
If someone had even an ordinary sense of aesthetics, SaintessNice was the kind of character whose appearance made it impossible for anyone to hide their disgust.
“Still, I can’t give this up...”
In Ias, Saintess is a class designed to target the typical sex appeal elements of RPG games.
A character with curves in all the right places, one that naturally makes you say nothing but thank you.
Because of that, most people made their Saintess characters pretty and cute, and I didn’t want to walk the same path as everyone else.
If you can’t be the best, become the worst.
Since I had no talent for character customization anyway, I figured I might as well make a character that was disgustingly ugly.
So I’m not going to do some flip-flopping and change my character customization now.

“Ah, fuck, seriously.”
Why the hell won’t they accept me?
I just want to enjoy the game purely.
I just want to happily run raids, earn gold, and RMT it for cash.
Why are they making my life miserable?

[Title: The average age in this game really is in the 40s—]
Since I’d even come to a PC café, I thought about turning Ias Gallery into a sea of fire just like this, but—
[Streamer party) Eder Vermouth 1–2 teaching party last supp]
The moment I saw the raid title that caught my eye, that urge disappeared.
“Eder-hyung?”
Eder, an underground streamer who had once been a fixed-nick user on Doomsday Gallery.
I’d heard he’d blown up thanks to newbie guide videos and was now streaming in the mainstream, but I never thought he’d be running teaching parties.
Once a Doomsday bro, always a Doomsday bro.
Eder-hyung, who betrayed Doomsday Gallery, had to be shown the price of betrayal.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ
[ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won!]
[Why has the user count dropped so much lately? Where did all the newbies go?]
“That’s what I’m saying.”
A man who had already been forced to AFK in the raid waiting room for an hour.
Eder, a dedicated Ias streamer, continued his indefinite wait for a newbie who showed no signs of coming.
“I know there’s a last-support shortage and all, but how can literally no one come in like this?”
Raids in Ias were usually four-person to eight-person raids, and if even one person was missing, the raid itself couldn’t be started.
As a result, Eder’s raid already had seven people filled, but the last person never came, so they couldn’t even depart.
-Supporters really haven’t been showing up lately ㅇㅇ
-Feels like there just aren’t any newbies at all..?
-At this point, isn’t it better to just start without a supp...
-When are you departing??
-Please, anyone, come...
With the wait dragging on without any solution, the stream grew more and more sluggish, and Eder could sense the mood as well.
“If there’s no support, these people absolutely won’t survive. It’s a prog party, how can we not have a support?”
But this raid group was a prog party made up of people attempting the raid for the first time.
If there was no supporter to take care of allies in a place like this, the result was obvious.
‘Ah, did I make a teaching party for nothing...’
A teaching party.
A prog party where a few experienced players bring inexperienced players and teach them the raid.
Naturally, the one playing the role of teacher here was Eder.
Eder hadn’t been running teaching parties like this from the beginning.
But recently, while latching onto big-name streamers who had started Ias and teaching them raids, his stream had suddenly blown up.
And as he tried to maintain that kind of stream atmosphere, teaching parties naturally became one of his stream contents.
[ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won!]
[Upvote if Eder just wants to make a homework room and get his raids done lol]
“Come on, I have to help these people. If there weren’t people like me, would newbies survive?”
-Kyaa
-As expected of Father Eder ㄷㄷ
-Eder, the father of all Ias newbies
-Without this guy, more than a few newbies would’ve died off
-Eㅡmperor
A donation had arrived that accurately saw through Eder’s true feelings, but Eder deliberately ignored it.
If he streamed the way he used to, it was obvious he would fall back into being a three-digit small-time streamer.
“Ah, seriously, won’t anyone come? I’ll even accept some gold farmer with completely trash settings, so please—”
-Ding!
Before he could even finish speaking, the raid application notification rang out.
“Whoa, someone’s here!”
Eder hurriedly opened the party application window and checked the applicant.

[SaintessNice(Saintess)]
“Huh...?”
At the unexpected nickname, Eder was momentarily speechless and flustered.

[Title: Let’s Araboja the legendary gold farmer ‘SaintessNice,’ who has now become a memory]
[Author: ㅇㅇ(125.138)]
As you all know, Ias is an RPG where RMTing in-game currency for cash, aka rice farming, was rampant ㅇㅇ
Because of that, all kinds of rice monkeys gathered from all over the country to sell gold, creating the bizarre spectacle that is Ias, and there’s one person here who’s basically the symbol of all rice monkeys.
That is [SaintessNice].
Just hearing the name, it doesn’t seem special at all, but if you go into this guy’s list of alts, you can see just how mentally ill he is.
[Expedition List]
SaintessNice2(Saintess) SaintessNice3(Saintess)
SaintessNice4(Saintess) SaintessNice5(Saintess)
SaintessNice6(Saintess) SaintessNice7(Saintess)
SaintessNice8(Saintess) SaintessNice9(Saintess)
...
What kind of lunatic in the world raises more than ten alts all as the exact same character as his main?
???: Maybe he just likes Saintess?
(Frog character fist meme)
Of course, that’s possible, but for that to be the case, this bitch is recycling his main’s gems and gear across all his alts.
If other people wanted to raise alts of that level, they’d have to set up gear, accessories, and gems for each of them, but he just recycles his main’s stuff, so there’s no need to spend money.
On top of that, if you look at his equipment, he’s wearing a one-handed sword instead of a Bible, and considering that one-handed sword Saintess is the DPS Saintess setup, you can tell even his setup is pure rice-farming trash.
Of course, two years ago, I don’t know if he was on drugs or what, but out of nowhere he made a mythic weapon, then got reset, went out in a blaze of glory, and quit.
Even now, SaintessNice is a legendary figure treated like the symbol of rice farming ㅇㅇ
So everyone, when you raise alts, make sure to set up new gems and accessories.
ㄴAh, this guy’s famous
ㄴAre there people these days who don’t know Seongna-jwa??
ㄴㄴThere are actually quite a lot who don’t
ㄴDidn’t this guy go to the army?
ㄴㄴIt should be about time for him to get discharged
ㄴBreaking news) Seongna-jwa just appeared on Eder’s stream lololololol
ㄴㄴFor real?
ㄴㄴ(Author) Didn’t Seongna-jwa quit?
ㄴㄴGuess he came back
ㄴㄴIt really is Seongna-jwa???
ㄴㄴ???
[Applicant List]
[SaintessNice(Saintess)]
-SaintessNice?
-Isn’t that the gold-farming bastard??
-Who the hell is that, you otakus?
SaintessNice, a user famous in the community as the symbol of rice farming, was also a user Eder knew well.
[Title: Mods, do your jooooob]
[Title: Seongna, you fucking bitch]
[Title: Watch what I can do]
Because he was a lunatic who had constantly spammed and terrorized Doomsday Gallery, where Eder had once belonged.
“Heh heh, well...”
RPG users’ perception of rice farming was not good, neither then nor now.
-Why did he crawl back again?
-He came back to sell gold lol
-Guess he ran out of money
In truth, contrary to people’s perception, SaintessNice was not an extreme gold farmer.
Eder himself, who was also from Doomsday Gallery, knew that well.
‘Ha... Do I accept him or not?’
If he didn’t accept SaintessNice now, he would have to wait for a support user who might arrive who knew when.
Then today’s stream would be no different from comfortably pulling the plug on life support.
But... accepting this guy would be its own problem.
Would he sink like this, or gamble while wearing an explosive collar?
Naturally, the choice was already decided.
“Ah, whatever!”
After a long hesitation, Eder finally clicked the [Accept] button.
-Ding
[SaintessNice : Oh]
[SaintessNice : finally]
A bald Black character in red clothes newly appeared in the raid waiting room.
-He accepted him in the end
-Wow legendary
-Wow, look at his fucking face
-Look at the state of his setup, fuck lololololol
-Is that one-handed sword for real??
-Is that character customization real, fuck
The moment Seongna appeared, the chat instantly began to blaze.
Thinking that it was still within the acceptable range for now, Eder chatted while praying that Seongna wouldn’t do anything weird.
[ShieldBearingEder : Um, Seongna-nim]
[ShieldBearingEder : There are a lot of newbies here who are doing this raid for the first time]
[ShieldBearingEder : Please take good care of them... haha]
[SaintessNice : Ah, of course]
[SaintessNice : I’ll hard-care them]
Maybe after going to the army, he’d become a little more normal.
No, no. Eder cleanly erased the thought that had flashed through his mind.
The opponent was an advanced lunatic with a record of manually running spam posts for twelve hours and sinking a community.
He had to keep his guard up for when that true nature might reveal itself.
[ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.
[Of course (while holding a one-handed sword)]
-For real lololol
-But why is he actually holding a one-handed sword??
-Doesn’t that mean he can’t care for people?
-He’s probably using it because the setup cost is cheap, what else
“True, why is this guy using a one-handed sword?”
[ShieldBearingEder : Yes]
[ShieldBearingEder : By any chance, Seongna-nim, could you use a Bible instead of that one-handed sword?]
[SaintessNice : I cAn’t]
[SaintessNice : I can give up everything else]
[SaintessNice : but I canNoT give up the one-handed sword]
[ShieldBearingEder : Yes, understood]
Right, well, the setup was weird, but... this raid wasn’t that difficult anyway.
On top of that, though he had quit and returned, SaintessNice was a high-level user who had been enjoying top-tier content as recently as two years ago.
Assuming that human played normally, this teaching party would gain one more teacher.
So, reasonably speaking, if they rammed their heads into it for about an hour, they should be able to clear.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ
“Now, he’s swinging the axe wide! Everyone, dodge behind the boss!”
-Whoosh!
SaintessNice has been killed by Vermouth.
“Whaaat?!”
[SaintessNice : Ah]
[SaintessNice : sry sry]
“Hey! What are we supposed to do if you die!”
-lololololololololololol
-That guy’s insane
-Isn’t that just intentional trolling, Eder-nim?
-Isn’t this sniping at this point?
-Gold-farming bitch bus passenger mode ON
-???: Ah, clear it for me, scrub scrub
