I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 841

The sports culture that originated among the demon race was currently spreading across the entire world.

It had already been catching on bit by bit, but Grylls’s exploits accelerated it even further.

In a world virtually devoid of entertainment, sports was an obsession people couldn’t easily escape.

On top of that, a peace treaty had recently been signed with the Holy Kingdom, and word spread that sports were once enjoyed by the gods themselves, elevating its status even higher.

Above all, through what was Grylls’s blunder—or perhaps not a blunder—ancient memes and records had resurfaced, bringing sports from the past back into the light.

Though they were records from the distant past, videos of countless sports stars dominating their fields were everywhere.

Title: Upvote if you think players from the Age of the Gods were way better

No way. Downvote if you think today’s players are better.

Honestly, pure skill-wise, the gods’ era looks way higher?

You wouldn’t say that if you just watched that Ankara Messi clip haha

But it’s not like there were tons of guys like that.

If there were tons of them, nobody would’ve made a dedicated video about it lol

But damn, the video editing is fucking good. We could just copy that style.

Title: Guys, I found Ankara Messi’s stats

(Article roughly detailing soccer player Messi’s insane career)

His total goals and assists are fucking insane?;;

Scoring nearly a hundred goals in a single season is just...;;

Is that even possible?

It’s one of two things. Either players back then were garbage, or that guy was just a freak of nature.

Didn’t Grylls say there was no mana back then?

How the hell is that possible without mana?

By the way, what’s that "Messi-Ronaldo Rivalry" section?

Probably his rival player?

(Video of a soccer player doing the "siuuuu" celebration) Looks like it’s this guy?

Title: What the hell is this hahaha

(The famous baseball clip where a pigeon explodes)

He threw a baseball and exploded a pigeon, is that for real? Hahaha

Oof hahaha, look at all the feathers flying everywhere lmao

That’s gotta hurt so fucking bad;;

Forget hurting, didn’t it straight up die?

What are the odds of that? Anyone know how to calculate it?

Allfather) I believe the probability would exceed at least one in a million.

Starlight Lady) From a rough estimate, the probability seems lower than one in ten billion.

With not only ancient memes but also the recent emergence of GalWiki, the trend showed signs of accelerating even faster.

From Mephisto’s perspective, it was an ideal scenario, allowing them to steadily carry out cultural conquest(?).

And there was one person happiest of all in this situation.

"Hehehe. Very good."

Demon Princess Kaylin.

Taking advantage of her rare free time, she set out to browse the Gallery.

A smile never left her lips, and a cheerful hum escaped her.

It wasn’t merely because the team she supported, Chae-yu, was performing well.

It was because Grylls’s accidental achievements had caused sports to spread at an unprecedented speed.

’If I had ignored the protests back then, all hell would’ve broken loose.’

And how were things now?

Since then, under the pretext of taking responsibility, she had consistently attended matches.

She had even brought the Hero along as soon as they signed the peace treaty with Avalon.

For a while, sweet days continued for Kaylin, allowing her to watch games every week.

Attending match after match under the banner of promoting the development of sports, the fans had even reached a point where they just took it for granted.

’It’s a shame I can’t cheer to my heart’s content, but...’

If she had her way, she would’ve hurled filthy curses at underperforming players and cheered along with everyone else whenever a goal went in.

But she had to maintain her dignity as a princess, so she couldn’t easily let loose.

Whether they scored or conceded, she could only clap with the exact same stony expression.

Isn’t that what a true demon looks like, honestly?This chapter was taken from NovelPing without permission.

She genuinely looked like she was having a blast during the Heavenly God Martial Festival haha

Definitely thought that was peak demon behavior lol

For real, when she rained down carpet bombings from the sky, there was literally nothing they could do;;

Posts like that had even popped up on the Gallery.

In truth, she had blown off plenty of stress during the Heavenly God Martial Festival, and got to see a welcome face while she was at it.

’That flustered face of his back then was so adorable.’

Kaylin turned her gaze.

Resting there was a Rose of Sharon that had yet to sprout.

She wondered why it hadn’t sprouted yet, but it didn’t really matter to her.

Every time she looked at that Rose of Sharon, Grylls’s startled expression drifted through her mind.

’I hope he visits Mephisto next time.’

Touring around together under the pretext of graciously hosting the Chief God.

She didn’t know when he would emerge into the world, but she was gradually laying out plans.

Grylls had an interest in sports, too, so he was bound to join in.

’The season will be starting soon, so things are about to get really busy.’

Kaylin thought, rolling around in bed.

Aside from the soccer season starting, the world was thrown into turmoil.

In particular, the emergence of GalWiki had dealt a direct blow to sports and every other facet of culture.

Because people could now catch glimpses of records from the gods’ most glorious era.

The culture back then was naturally rich, offering a golden opportunity to take a massive leap forward.

’Grylls mentioned it before. How about holding a massive tournament every four years?’

And not between clubs, but a tournament format where teams represented their regions of origin.

At first, she had wondered where that idea came from, but now she understood perfectly.

The World Cup, a global festival for the entire world.

That was only natural, coming from someone who had seen it with his own eyes and lived it in the flesh.

’His home country was... Republic of Korea, I think? Ah, right. Considering he uses the language called Korean, that’s definitely it.’

Digging through the wiki had conveniently taught her Grylls’s homeland as well.

Of course, that was just a check she made out of curiosity; what mattered to her was soccer.

Since it was a nation that produced an unprecedented monster(?) like Grylls, surely their international tournament results would be...

"Uh... well... I guess that can happen."

Soccer was, after all, a sport played by eleven people, where the manager’s role was crucial.

Besides, one had to consider that Grylls was an anomaly even among the gods.

Kaylin brushed it off and combed through to see if there was anything else.

If they organized various tournaments based on this information, it would surely lead to even greater growth.

’To do that, we need to steadily develop broadcasting magic. So we can broadcast not just in Mephisto, but to other nations as well.’

For Mephisto’s culture to spread more widely, popularization was essential.

Sports themselves had already spread to various countries, each with its own local matches.

But now that she had glimpsed the culture of the gods, this simply wasn’t enough.

’It might be possible if we used the principles of the World Tree and the Gallery... but that would be difficult.’

How could they broadcast to other nations?

How could they replicate the World Tree and the Gallery?

Just as Kaylin was deep in thought for the development of Mephisto—

"So... to sum it up, slander and fabrications between the clubs became rampant on GalWiki, and the fights have spilled into reality. Is that what you’re saying?"

"That is correct, Your Highness."

An incident had erupted from a completely unexpected direction.

Hearing the report, Kaylin was dumbfounded.

Edit wars breaking out due to the advent of GalWiki?

That was entirely anticipated, and Kaylin had even secretly taken part in it herself.

But between real-life matters and just getting tired of it, she had quickly stopped caring.

Crucially, with so many clear examples already out there, her mindset had been that people would handle it fine on their own.

’All they had to do was copy and paste, and they ignored that?’

Yet even Kaylin had overlooked the belligerence of the demon race.

The Gallery was already flooded with spam posts every match, so what did she expect from GalWiki?

Articles were practically being edited every second, and having petty controversy and incident sections tacked on was practically guaranteed.

’Sections like that popping up is one thing... but if this goes wrong, we’re in serious trouble.’

Even right now, full-blown brawls were breaking out in real life.Read the latest chapters at novеlping.com.

Word was that clubs that had already hated each other were tearing into one another.

One might ask, ’Didn’t they always fight anyway?’ but this time was different.

’At worst, the clubs might demand a total shutdown on editing.’

Sports culture was the bedrock and identity of the demon race.

It was inevitably intertwined with politics, and trying to ban it by law was pointless.

Just looking at the backgrounds of the club owners, weren’t most of them nobles or figures with matching influence?

Moreover, with relations souring with Setan due to the former sultan’s massive trolling, their standing had become even more entrenched.

’Should I become a Chronicler or something...?’

But that wasn’t appealing either; even as a Chronicler, one could only manage articles.

Managing the entire template system that categorized the documents was impossible, making it ultimately useless.

That meant Kaylin would have to address GalWiki directly, which was extremely tricky.

’The second I say the wrong thing, they’ll protest about censorship, but if I leave it alone, the clubs will complain.’

And at the end of that road lay a political fight with Alfheim.

A throbbing headache already brewing, Kaylin gently closed her eyes.

Times like this called for staying calm...

"I just want to throw it all away and go watch a game."

...Far from it, she only wanted to slack off even more.

A crisis of a lifetime was closing in, yet Kaylin remained completely indifferent.

It was the characteristic cynicism of the demon race combined with the stress of getting busier when she was already swamped.

Until the season kicked off, she had had nothing to do but skim through the transfer market and call it a day.

’Honestly, time will solve it, but...’

GalWiki was currently in a transitional phase.

It was natural for all sorts of chaos to erupt, only escalated because this was Mephisto.

Furthermore, there were plenty of people trying to enter only objective facts onto GalWiki, so she had no choice but to wait and see how the war turned out.

’I need to help ensure only objective facts get recorded, but...’

The question of ’How, realistically?’ just wouldn’t resolve itself.

It wasn’t as if she could track down every single Fixed Nick editing GalWiki articles, heh.

Put them on trial? Even on the Gallery itself, people ran wild behind the shield of anonymity—how could a trial even work?

Somehow, she had to draw a line so she wouldn’t get entangled with that annoying Alfheim.

’Rather than putting pressure on the clubs, we need to guide the fans into moderating themselves.’

The moment their egos get too big, drop a tax bomb and launch an audit.

From then on, Kaylin moved busily to ensure the clubs could police themselves.

Naturally, her first meeting was with the owner of Chaemes United.

"Our club is cheered on by the Chief God himself, so we cannot tolerate such insults."

"And?"

"Naturally, we will sue the opposing fans who caused trouble. We need to engrave into their minds who they’re messing with."

"..."

She could truly understand the anguish of executing Ma Su with tears in one’s eyes.

Deep down, Kaylin wanted to blast the owner away, but she suppressed the urge.

Thus, while steering toward tolerance over harsh punishment, anyone who crossed the line in severe ways was slapped with a permanent stadium ban.

Some might argue a lifetime stadium ban was too light, but certainly not in Mephisto.

Sports was their real-life community and society.

Banning someone from it forever was practically equivalent to social capital punishment.

"It would be better to do good deeds instead and boost the fans’ pride."

"That sounds like a good idea."

One way or another, the situation subsided, but unease lingered.

Naturally, the more it dragged on, the higher Kaylin’s stress piled up.

’Phew... Isn’t there a Polymorph spell or something? Since Grylls brought along members of the Dragon Race, maybe it exists...’

She wanted to use Polymorph rather than a simple disguise so she could scream at the top of her lungs.

[Allfather: Grylls-nim. I have a photograph to show you. Would you care to take a look?]

[Wild Grylls: What kind of picture is it?]

[Allfather: A photograph of a beautiful woman.]

[Wild Grylls: Coming from you of all people, Allfather-nim, that makes me wonder. So what is it?]

[Allfather: (Roughly a selfie of a pretty-looking elf) What do you think?]

[Wild Grylls: Oh. Who is that?]

[Allfather: It is me.]

[Wild Grylls: ????]

Grylls was confused.
