I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 726

As the sun slowly set, another day passed in the Heavenly Demon Cult.

Although I had an unexpected encounter with Kaylin, honestly speaking, it wasn’t a tense meeting.

Kaylin had done her best to show proper manners and didn’t do anything to screw me over.

Although I was slightly worried she might challenge me during the duels, she had assured me that such a thing wouldn’t happen.

Apparently, since I was revered as the Chief God, doing so might cause her to get bombarded by neighboring countries or something.

It was because they had only recently grown close to the Holy Kingdom and Avalon, and they couldn’t afford to ruin that.

Perhaps because of that, the Heavenly God Martial Festival proceeded very smoothly, like a ship sailing with a tailwind.

Occasionally, those harboring grudges against the Cult’s actions would cause a disturbance, but the Cult had anticipated this and resolved it immediately.

Moreover, launching a terrorist attack during such a national festival would only result in greater losses for their own side, so they were cautious.

’Still, I can’t seem to get used to staying here.’

I looked around the interior structure of the building, which was unique to the Central Plains. Lanterns hung from the ceiling, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

About three days had passed since I began staying in the Heavenly Demon Cult, and during that time, I stayed in a room provided by the Cult.

I heard it was a space comparable to Yoo So-wol’s, or perhaps where the previous Heavenly Demon used to stay.

I understood that the previous Heavenly Demon had passed away early for a master due to a chronic illness.

The one who had thoroughly filled that void was the current Heavenly Demon, Yoo So-wol. She had defeated formidable candidates with her heaven-sent talent.

The current elders of the Cult had once been candidates for the position of Heavenly Demon, but she had defeated them to ascend to the throne of the supreme leader.

Even the other elders had naturally accepted her after dueling with her, which spoke volumes about Yoo So-wol’s talent.

’If I had my way, I’d want to sleep in the bedroom that got smashed when I arrived here, but...’

Yoo So-wol had stubbornly insisted on sleeping there, so there was nothing I could do.

Besides, even if it was half-destroyed, that was still Yoo So-wol’s bedroom. Sleeping there felt awkward in many ways.

Yoo So-wol, as if she had somehow read my mind, had even proposed that we share a bed.

My brain short-circuited for a moment, leaving me unable to answer, but fortunately, Wi Seol-ak had reasoned with her well.

If Wi Seol-ak hadn’t been watching from the side, Yoo So-wol would have dragged me away while staring blankly at me.

And just like before, she would have stayed up all night staring at me with a curiosity-filled expression like a cat.

Since she already stared intently at me whenever we crossed paths in the Heavenly Demon Palace, it was no small amount of pressure.

’Sigh. Let’s just look at the Gallery.’

With a heavy heart, I accessed the Gallery. There was nothing better than the Gallery for clearing one’s mind.

Since I had been wandering all over the Cult, I had barely accessed the Gallery except right before sleeping.

In the forest, I used to access the Gallery whenever I had a spare moment, but strangely, once I was free to roam outside, my visits became infrequent.

To think I had more leisure time when I was in the Forest of the Four Seasons—what an irony of ironies.

Title) Isn’t that Grylls next to Princess Kaylin?

No matter how I look at it, it looks like Grylls. Otherwise, why would Kaylin approach him?

Ignore this guy, he’s been calling everyone Grylls whenever he gets suspicious.

But isn’t it really always Grylls? This is hilarious lol

OP) I have a feeling this time. It’s definitely Grylls.

Stop bullshitting and go to sleep lol

Scrolling through the Gallery, there were occasionally people with incredibly sharp intuition.

Of course, it was mostly just a case of throwing everything at the wall until something stuck, like an Indian rain-making ritual.

As Wi Seol-ak had mentioned before, because there were so many eccentrics walking around wearing satgat, barely anyone paid attention to me.

Moreover, with a massive event like the Heavenly God Martial Festival taking place, people’s attention was scattered all over.

So, I posted on the Gallery under the guise of a survival log and sightseeing.

’Every time, the majority of people would ask when I was returning to the Forest of the Four Seasons.’

Everyone assumed I would return to the Forest of the Four Seasons, and they were right. Once the Heavenly God Martial Festival ended and my duel with Ash was over, I would prepare to return.

Conveniently, I had heard that an entrance to the Forest of the Four Seasons was located right near the Heavenly Demon Cult, so entering wouldn’t be an issue.

However, the catch was that I had no idea where I would start. Fortunately, I was able to receive various pieces of equipment from my companions.

’With just a coordinate tracker, returning shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe I’ll even find another World Tree on the way.’

It was merely my wishful thinking. Even if a place looked safe, there was no telling what dangers lurked.

An entirely unexpected situation, like the snowy mountain last time, could occur. The Forest of the Four Seasons was filled with regions that were dangerous despite their appearance.

If the snowy mountain, one of the extreme environments, was like that, other extreme environments would be similar.

In a volcanic zone, just breathing would burn one’s lungs, and in a desert, I felt like my skin would melt off.

Stepping into such places was something even I would decline. If possible, I wanted to start in a place that looked decent on the surface.

[Wake up! Grylls!][99+]

While browsing the Gallery, I found a rather amusing Recommended Post.

It was a post with an immense number of comments. What kind of joke was written in it to garner such a terrifying number of upvotes?

Usually, if it was related to me, it would definitely contain insults directed at me. I clicked on it with a chuckle.

Title) Wake up! Grylls!

(A photo of a dark-skinned man wearing sunglasses with his mouth wide open)This chapter is updated first at novelping(.)com.

Grylls! Wake up! Wake up from your stable and peaceful life in the Heavenly Demon Cult! That is not reality! The people of the Heavenly Demon Cult, the believers of Aris are not reality! The comfortable space of the Heavenly Demon Palace is not reality either! There is no Dongpo pork, no beef noodles, and no warm tea in this world! Wake up, Grylls! Wake up and wander the hellish Forest of the Four Seasons with us, constantly fearing for your life! Let’s survive by eating the meat and Inner Cores of the beasts we hunt in the Forest of the Four Seasons! Wake up, Grylls!

lolololol

lolololol

Holy shit, what is this meme choice lolol

Ah, this is so fucking funny lolol

If Grylls sees this, won’t he absolutely lose his mind lolol

If it were me, I’d be genuinely pissed lol

Heavenly Demon) Are there truly only demons in this place? How can people be so malicious?

But it was fun, right?

Heavenly Demon) I do not find it amusing in the slightest.

Come on. Be honest. You laughed too lol

How can anyone not laugh at that lol

"...."

It was truly a post beyond imagination. I had even seen a similar photo before.

The people of this world couldn’t have known that and found such a photo; it must have been a mere coincidence.

Seeing things like this made me wonder if ’reincarnation’, which often appears in Buddhism, actually existed.

’Applying reincarnation to the Gallery sounds a bit strange.’

In any case, I lightly clicked the upvote button and searched for other posts.

I was just slightly dumbfounded; I wasn’t triggered or anything. Seriously.

’Since I was planning to enter the Forest of the Four Seasons again anyway.’

It sounded like a lame excuse, but it was true. The fact that I might not be able to come outside anymore didn’t particularly bother me.

Although there were complex procedures, as long as I could steadily supply the Rose of Sharon, I could come outside.

While I was browsing the Gallery with that thought, a Recommended Post caught my eye.

It was a relatively recent post, and I could never forget that username.

’Bbareumbo? Bbareumbo posted this?’

Surprisingly, it was indeed a post uploaded by Bbareumbo.

I knew he had created a registered account before, but I had rarely seen him post directly.

The only members of our household who posted were Lackey and Maengkkongi.

Moreover, since Lackey posted as an anonymous user rather than a registered account, Maengkkongi was practically the only one.

[Save me][99+]

"...."

The title was unusual from the start. One thing was certain: it wasn’t anything dangerous.

If it were truly dangerous, Elia would have urgently sent a message. I entered the Gallery with a light heart.

Title) Save me

Wild Bbareumbo

So hard without the fruit-bearing tree.

Children do not listen. Even when scolded, they do not listen.

Fools do not listen to the tree and mess up the house.

I am the only normal one here.

I wish my tree would come back quickly.

Your tree is currently enjoying a happy life in the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Wild Bbareumbo) Bad. Bring him back quickly.

This guy’s replies are fast, huh? lol

Bbareumbo’s actions are just slow as hell, but his thinking speed is probably fucking fast lol

Surprisingly, though everyone might have forgotten since it was in the early days) this guy is the one who caught Grylls’s arrow with his bare hands;;

It seemed that in my absence, the state of the household(?) was quite rough. Especially the children not listening was a major issue.

I chuckled, thinking that I should return as soon as possible. They would have to suffer a bit until then.

"Nyaong~"

"Huh?"

Just as I was browsing the Gallery, the sound of a cat reached my ears.

Turning my head, I saw a cute ginger cat wandering out from under the bed.

Judging by its stiffly raised tail, it seemed happy for some reason. I tilted my head at the sight.Follow the newest chapters on novelрing.com.

’Is it a cat raised in the Heavenly Demon Palace?’

It was highly likely. Otherwise, they wouldn’t leave it roaming around like this.

Moreover, since it was a cat and not some other pet, this free-spirited nature felt even more familiar.

Since I had rarely seen cats in the Forest of the Four Seasons, it caught my eye even more.

"What’s your name?"

"Nyaang."

Even when I called, the cat didn’t seem to care and hopped onto the bed.

It even proceeded to headbutt my leg. Its unique cuteness made my heart melt.

Despite the gloomy atmosphere of the Heavenly Demon Cult in many ways, it seemed they couldn’t resist cuteness either.

’But for a cat, how should I put it, something feels off?’

It wasn’t just a strange feeling; the cat possessed far too much mana. It was almost like something you’d only see in the Forest of the Four Seasons.

It could be my imagination, but my intuition had rarely been wrong.

People often dismiss intuition, but I believed the opposite.

Intuition was mostly a kind of big data built up from countless accumulated experiences.

"Nyaooong~"

"Yes, yes. Come here."

Regardless, what mattered right now was playing with this ginger cat.

It didn’t cause me any direct harm; instead, it brought me peace, which was even better.

I patted the ginger cat’s butt and scratched its head, expressing my affection to my heart’s content.

"Gororong~ Gorong~ Gororong~"

The ginger cat seemed to like my touch, as it even started purring.

After playing with the cat for a whole hour, bedtime approached before I knew it.

The cat also left my bedroom in accordance with its routine and walked off somewhere.

’Maybe I should raise a cat when I return... No, wait. Who knows what kind of abilities it might have.’

A cat from the Forest of the Four Seasons might actually have nine lives.

Besides, bringing a cat when I already had Heukgu? A fight would break out with a 100% probability.

Thus, another peaceful day passed, and around the time I was watching the Heavenly God Martial Festival the next day.

"I address the Heavenly God!"

A certain martial artist who had won his match in the Heavenly God Martial Festival shouted. He was a prominent figure, perhaps highly renowned, with a moniker of his own.

He suddenly looked around the spectator stands, shouted toward the heavens, and...

"Please show me the martial prowess of the Heavenly God!"

He made a proposal that could only be described as insane.

At those words, the spectator stands fell silent, and even I, who had been watching peacefully, was taken aback.

’...Right. I had a feeling a guy like that would show up.’

It was a development I had fully anticipated, so I didn’t care much.

The world was wide, and there were plenty of crazy people. I just had to think of him as one of them.

You might ask if such an insult wasn’t a suicidal act in a world where a god openly existed?

Well, I believed that Earth was even worse when it came to such outrages, definitely not less.

In any case, the martial artist stepped down from the arena, and during the break, I quietly stood up and walked away.

I walked over to Yoo So-wol’s side. I had come to ask for her opinion, and...

"It would not be a bad idea to show your martial prowess, eungong."

Not only Yoo So-wol, but...

"If you show your skills, Grylls-nim, your status will become even more solid...!"

Surprisingly, even Asella agreed.

When I asked if they wouldn’t normally oppose it, the reply was:

"To be honest, I do not think you will lose at all, gwigong. You can display the Strength to Uproot Mountains and Might to Dominate the World, like pulling an island with your bare hands."

"If they get hit by your fist, Grylls-nim, wouldn’t their face collapse?"

The answers were spectacular in many ways.

"Realistically speaking... beasts that come out of the Forest of the Four Seasons tend to become several times stronger. Considering that, it might be best for you to step up."

"Hmm."

It seemed better to think of it as a warm-up before my duel with Ash, which could be called the main event.

Of course.

"Honestly, I feel a bit jealous."

"Pardon?"

"To think they are curious about your martial prowess, eungong, rather than mine. I could easily step forward as well."

Yoo So-wol’s jealousy-that-wasn’t-quite-jealousy was actually quite cute.
