I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 448

It had already been almost ten days since Grylls fell unconscious.

People—or more accurately, the Gallery users—mostly shared similar thoughts when Grylls failed to post anything.

Title) Is Grylls seriously dead?

TSIA

Dunno. He’s not posting, so I can’t tell.

For now, considering his post is still up, he seems to be alive?

What’s the point of being alive? I heard even brain-dead people’s posts stay up.

Not a human vegetable, isn’t he a human charcoal? He was burned black as coal.

Yoooou are terrible LOL

Just call him a Black guy at this point lol

Title) If he’s really in a comatose state

Isn’t it impossible to check his status until he posts a survival update?

Yup, spot on.

With injuries like that, it’s not just critically injured, it’s critical condition.

Honestly, it’s right to just let him go peacefully.

Can’t an Elixir revive him?

Even if an Elixir is a cure-all, it’s not omnipotent;;

If he really revives, I’ll believe he’s a Herald of God, lol

Can even gods resurrect someone?

Allfather) The gods viewed the concept of death differently from us mortals. As long as one can maintain their ego, they did not define it as death.

You don’t have to look far, just look at Cain. His body changed, but he still considers himself Cain.

Isn’t he basically an undead?

Blasphemy;;

Before that, Professor, if Grylls dies, you’re gonna be so bored lol

Allfather) I believe that man will make a safe recovery.

Be honest. You just don’t want to waste a research subject, right?

Allfather) ...A little bit?

LMAO

At least he’s honest haha

ROFL

Usually, there were two reasons why a post on the Gallery would disappear.

Either the administrator deleted it, or the person who uploaded the post died.

The latter case was something they came to realize over a long period, though the precise mechanism remained unknown.

Furthermore, they soon realized that posts by people in a comatose or unconscious state also remained.

Through this, they figured out that the most crucial factor for a Gallery user was the target’s mana.

The only time that mana completely vanishes is usually death. Even if the dantian is destroyed, a trace amount of mana can remain.

In that sense, the Gallery users decided: they wouldn’t believe Grylls was alive until a post from him went up.

It might be different outside, but being in a comatose state in the Forest of the Four Seasons was practically no different from dying soon.

Although a powerhouse like Bbareumbo was there, Grylls’s presence held immense weight.

Not to mention, in a situation where even medical supplies like Elixirs couldn’t be supplied to him, it was an unstable situation in many ways.

Title) Dunno about Grylls, but...

Upvote if you’re excited for the upcoming holiday lol

Upvoted haha

Loving it lol

Jealous. I have to work...

What do you do for work?

I’m a paladin.

Work hard then.

T_T

Title) Central Plains takes a break during the Nativity, right?

Please tell me they do.

Isn’t that obvious? Maybe not Foundation Day, but everyone definitely rests on the Nativity.

It’s the birthday of the Twin Gods, of course they take a break;;

In the first place, the person who founded the Central Plains was one of Aris’s two disciples.

Didn’t the Central Plains Emperor try to abolish that in the past and get cursed out immensely?

Yeah, I heard even the Papal See was shocked and protested back then lol

A Central Plains Emperor who even shocks the Papal See;;

Not just the Papal See, he probably got blasted internally too for rejecting their own founding principles.

That wasn’t all. A day was approaching where everyone had to focus on reality rather than the Gallery.

Namely, the global holiday: the Nativity of the Twin Gods.

The birthday of the Twin Gods, who drove away the dragons ruling this world and granted humanity their freedom.

Since it was the Nativity of gods with even higher name recognition than the Chief God, both East and West busily prepared for it.

Title) Are there no birthdays for other gods?Find the original chapter at novelping dot com.

It’s weird that the Nativity is only for the Twin Gods.

When there’s even the Chief God around, why is there no holiday honoring him?

You just want to slack off more, don’t you?

OP) Isn’t that obvious?

Don’t Abandon the Hero) The Nativity of the Gods is not a mere excuse for a day off!

OP) Whatever lol I just wanna rest haha

The gods definitely want to rest too lol

Allfather) There are many stories regarding this. Days like December 25th or April 8th are designated as holidays for unknown reasons. They are presumed to be the birthdays of gods.

Isn’t May 5th also a holiday? Plus, isn’t that Children’s Day?

Don’t Abandon the Hero) That was personally designated by the Chief God-nim! For the reason that children ought to grow up bright and healthy!

Isn’t it just because the Chief God likes children?

Wait... Don’t tell me his taste is... ;;

Don’t Abandon the Hero) Do not commit blasphemy!!

As the Nativity approached, there was a nation that grew busier than any other.

As everyone expected, it was Avalon, the Holy Kingdom founded to honor Aris.

Most citizens of Avalon were devout believers. Thus, they approached it with utmost sincerity.

Above all, had not the first paladin, Cain, recently answered their call?

"Hurry, move fast! Aris-nim will be disappointed at this rate!"

"Is there enough water prepared?"

"A lot of tourists will be coming, so be careful."

Because of this, their faith could not help but burn brighter than ever.

With faith running so deep, all the citizens acted voluntarily.

"Ughhhh... O Aris-isiyeo... I want to rest..."

Of course, the more they did, the more the Hero Asella’s workload multiplied.

She was already feeling anxious just worrying about Grylls’s survival.

On top of that, with the Nativity overlapping, she was rapidly tiring out both physically and mentally.

’When will Grylls-nim awaken...’

Asella glanced at the Gallery. Perhaps because the Nativity was approaching, most of the posts uploaded were related to it.

Of course, that didn’t mean posts related to Grylls were absent altogether.

After all, as someone who had survived for over three months in the Forest of the Four Seasons, interest in him did not die down easily.

’The other fixed-nick users seem to be worried too...’

Even nearby, outside the Gallery, there was Selena. Ever since Grylls’s status became unknown, she had been praying every single day.

There were occasional times when she skipped meals, but that was only because she had gotten so focused that she missed them.

Because of her experience suffering from the Nine Yin Severed Meridians, Selena was meticulously attentive to her health.

Her mindset was that she had to maintain her health to offer prayers.

’At least she will get some rest during this Nativity.’

The Nativity was originally an event that should have been prepared two weeks in advance.

However, as work piled up higher and higher, they were only now finally able to prepare.

As a result, everyone, regardless of rank, was being ground down in real-time.

’It’s a pity that the summoning magic was halted... but it can’t be helped.’

Naturally, the summoning magic had also been paused. That didn’t mean Selena’s party had left, though.

They could enjoy the Nativity festivities while they were at it and slowly establish their future plans.

Asella rubbed her eyes today as well while organizing the overflowing documents. The tasks were slowly nearing completion.

Since this was the first Nativity after so many incidents, there was simply too much to do.

’If not for the Clear Sky Stalactite Oil, I would have collapsed from overwork...’

Asella paused mid-thought. A heavy gloom spread through her heart.

If Grylls were fine, he would have welcomed the Nativity with a heart happier than anyone else’s.

Yet he still hadn’t posted anything. Even though she sent messages every day, there wasn’t even a reply.

’In truth, with injuries of that severity, he would have died shortly even with emergency first aid.’

Even so, the fact that his survival was confirmed until now meant his companions had taken action.

Though they had Elixirs, injuries of that degree wouldn’t even allow for life extension.

Furthermore, Ludwig beside him would have made an accurate judgment.

If there really was no hope, he would have helped him meet a peaceful death.

’I must have faith.’

The only thing she could do was pray for a miracle. Asella let out a silent sigh.

She thus worked late into the night for tomorrow’s Nativity. Her eyes felt stiff and dry, but thanks to the Clear Sky Stalactite Oil, she managed to endure.

’I have to wake up early tomorrow morning, though...’

Finishing her severe overtime work, Asella checked the time. Current time: 11:30 PM.

Since tomorrow was an important day, she planned to wake up at 5:00 AM. Naturally, it was to run the event.

Normally, the Papal See would take charge of such things, but it had currently been dissolved into thin air.

In the end, Asella had no choice but to take charge of most of the event.Find the original chapter at novelрing.com.

’What should I say at the start of tomorrow’s event? Should I ask everyone to pray together for Grylls-nim to awaken safely?’

In a way, it was a purely selfish desire. Yet it was a qualification Grylls deserved to enjoy.

After all, even the citizens of the Holy Kingdom truly revered Grylls as a Herald of God, did they not?

If such an act could lend him aid, she was more than willing to do it.

’I should... pray.’

Having finished all her work, Asella stood up from her seat.

Having wrestled with paperwork all day, she was mentally exhausted.

However, praying before sleep could not be skipped. This was the fundamental duty of a cleric.

Since she had borrowed the power of the Clear Sky Stalactite Oil, she still had enough strength left to pray.

Jeobeok- jeobeok-

Relying on her lantern, Asella returned to her bedroom.

Soon, as she arrived in her bedroom, her cozy bed came into view.

She wanted to dive right onto it that instant, but she desperately endured. Her work was not entirely finished yet.

Swaaaa-

After washing her body clean, her mind felt even more dazed and drowsy.

Drying her hair with a towel, Asella checked the time. Only ten minutes remained before the date changed.

Soon, having changed into pajamas, she quietly knelt in front of a certain stone statue.

It was a statue of a female knight wearing a helmet, reverently holding a sword with both hands.

The statue of Aris, Goddess of War and Wisdom. Every day before sleeping, Asella prayed before this statue.

Today as well, she prayed with a devout heart.

’O Aris-isiyeo, Goddess of War and Wisdom. Please grant my small wish.’

Right now, there was only one thing she wished for: that Grylls would recover safely.

Objectively speaking, the chances weren’t high, but she believed in miracles.

Most of what had happened so far were miracles, so there was no reason another couldn’t unfold.

’For his sake, I can dedicate everything I have. Please grant a miracle to the benefactor who saved the Holy Kingdom...’

A short prayer. Yet time passed quickly.

When Asella opened her eyes, ten minutes had already flown by. It was the Nativity.

Though the Nativity had arrived, nothing changed. Squeezing her eyes shut and opening them again, she lay down on her bed.

’I should manage the Gallery a bit before sleeping...’

As mentioned repeatedly, Asella possessed a strong sense of responsibility, fitting for a Hero.

If given a duty, her nature was to fulfill it responsibly to the very end.

Some might call it a stubborn, rigid personality, but she didn’t mind.

’Surprisingly, Heavenly Demon-nim is managing quite well.’

Even while Grylls was unconscious, Heavenly Demon maintained her daily routine.

Given her somewhat hasty temperament, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had recklessly charged into the Forest of the Four Seasons.

In fact, she had actually done so, but for whatever reason, she had quietly retreated.

’Does even Heavenly Demon-nim feel fear?’

Asella steadfastly held out even as sleepiness poured over her.

She had to keep the Gallery clean, even if just a little, so that when Grylls returned...

[This Body Resurrected][99+]

"...?"

It was when she entered the Recommended Posts section. A certain post was receiving an overwhelming number of upvotes.

The upvote count was visibly increasing in real-time. What was even more surprising was the author.

’Wild... Grylls?!’

Asella felt all her sleepiness instantly vanish. Even after rubbing her eyes several times, those five letters were clearly engraved there.

Did Aris really grant her wish? With a trembling heart, Asella clicked into the post.

[Traffic is too high. Please try again later.]

"...?"

At the message that met her eyes, she stood stunned for a moment.

Very rarely, with an extremely low probability, such a phenomenon occurred.

A phenomenon where so many people tried to access a specific post that accessing it became completely impossible.

Since there were countless users in the Gallery, it wasn’t an impossible occurrence.

It was just that the phenomenon was happening right now.

"Aaargh! Move out of the way, everyone!"

Asella struggled furiously to enter the post.

In truth, she could just send a private message, but such a thought didn’t even cross her mind.

Entering that post right now and asking if he was okay—that was the most important thing.

’I’m the Orange Badge! I’m the Orange Badge, so why can’t I get in?!’

** "What the hell? Why are there so many comments?"

It was after I carefully moved the collapsed Bbareumbo. I immediately uploaded a survival update to the Gallery.

And then, an insane number of comments started pouring in. It was a reaction even I hadn’t expected.

’Wait, the Nativity? It overlaps with my birthday.’

Should I ask for gifts to celebrate both my resurrection and birthday? Such a thought crossed my mind.
