◈ I Became an Undetected Priest Impersonator ◈
Chapter 8
──────
I Became the Gallery's Head Admin (2)
-A user who meets the conditions has been detected.
-Would you like to become the Gallery's administrator? (Y/N)
-Time remaining until closure: 23 hours.
‘Realistically, there's no way I can be an admin.’
I hadn't even adjusted to the city properly, let alone the Gallery. In my position, I had no room to manage anything.
It was a judgment I'd made based on a fairly objective look at things.
‘..But I can't have the Gallery disappearing either.’
The problem was that I still needed the information in the Gallery in order to settle in and play the perfect priest.
I didn't want to become the admin, but I couldn't let the Gallery vanish either.
In the end, all I could do was put off the decision.
‘There's still time, so I'll just have to hope someone else becomes the admin in the meantime. If nobody does, I'll think about it then.’
I pushed the message off to the side and went on reading the mood of the Gallery.
The mood, to put it generously, wasn't good.
[No Head Admin candidate yet?]
[This Gallery's really about to get closed..]
[There are a fuckton of gallery rats here, so why isn't a single one getting appointed Head Admin?]
[Thanks for everything, guys. See you later, with smiles]
Inside, it was still nothing but chaos.
I clicked into a post asking about the very thing I was wondering myself.
Title: There are a fuckton of gallery rats here, so why isn't a single one getting appointed Head Admin?
Author: ㅇㅇ(177.177)
Is there some kind of condition? Can't they just make anybody Head Admin?
[Per the Head Admin before the last, 6th Tier is the cutoff]
ㄴ[Really?;]
ㄴ[I'm just a farmer so I wouldn't know, but how strong is 6th Tier?]
ㄴ[Right below Sword Master. From 7th Tier up they call you a Sword Master or an Archmage]
‘So that means an A-Rank awakener is at least 6th Tier.’
I could finally see why the post didn't get filled right away.
Still, it was hard to believe that out of all these Gallery users, not one 6th Tier would volunteer.
The question was answered soon enough.
Title: Weren't there a few Gallerians who'd qualify if 6th Tier is the condition
Author: ㅇㅇ(91.91)
I'm pretty sure a few of the Fixed-nick bastards were, so why aren't they showing up?
Just the ones I know of are Nine Demon Swords, FurryLover, Whitemage Begone, and Princess's Footrag, that's four
[Oh yeah? Why aren't they coming out]
[The Fixed-nicks would rather give up on the Gallery than volunteer to be Head Admin]
ㄴ[Why??]
ㄴ[I don't know the details, but I heard the Gallery doesn't run for free. Anyway, that's supposedly why they won't show up]
‘..It doesn't run for free?’
Come to think of it, that was only natural.
Nothing happens or lasts without a cost, no matter how trivial.
The question was what that cost was.
The answer showed up before long.
One of the Fixed-nicks who'd been mentioned came out in person.
Title: This lady shall tell you why none of us will be Head Admin
Author: Whitemage Begone
To bear the burden of the Gallery, one must be at least 6th Tier
Well, I suppose everyone knows that much by now
But reaching 6th Tier does not mean you can keep the Gallery running without any risk
I dislike long explanations, so I shall start with the point:
To maintain the Gallery, one must give up a Tier- that is the long and short of it
In other words, your Tier is forcibly lowered for as long as you remain Head Admin
The former Head Admin, who is already dead, was a researcher, and gladly bore the loss of Tier..
But that Head Admin was just a peculiar case, so you would do well not to get your hopes up
If you understand, begone
[It's not like losing Tier will kill you, so why not just do it? Fucking selfish]
ㄴ[Hmph.. Cut off one arm and post proof, and I may consider it]
ㄴ[How is an arm the same as Tier? Say something that makes sense]
ㄴ[What a laughable thing to say. Of course, only the truly ignorant could claim Tier matters less than one's life]
[Dude, can't you just do it? The Sub-Admins do all the Gallery management anyway.. Without the Gallery, we don't know how we'll get through tomorrow..]
ㄴ[No. Would you gladly cut off your arm for an unspecified crowd? And for something you needn't do at all?]
ㄴ[(Sobbing Con)]
‘In my terms, that's an A-Rank awakener dropping to B-Rank. No wonder nobody's volunteering.’
Tier and awakening rank couldn't be treated as completely identical, but that was how I understood it, at least.
Only after understanding the risk, to a degree, did I look at the message I'd put off.
‘Aside from the drop in rank, if I don't actually have to do any managing, it shouldn't matter.’
-Would you like to become the Gallery's administrator? (Y/N)
-Time remaining until closure: 22 hours.
Of course, losing awakening rank was a shame.
But now that I had no reason to climb the Tower, a high awakening rank meant nothing to me.
‘C-Rank is plenty for healing ordinary people.’
Besides, I had no intention of keeping the job for long.
A few months would be enough.
I didn't deliberate long.
I reached out and pressed the message.
-You have become the Gallery's administrator.
-Gallery closure procedure has been halted.
The closure procedure that had been counting down was finally halted.
At the same moment, a heavy fatigue seeped through my whole body.
It was the effect of my Tier being cut down a level.
‘..I'm sleepy.’
I wanted to collapse and sleep right then, but I barely held onto consciousness and wrote a post.
I lost consciousness right after the post was uploaded to the Gallery.
…
At the same time, silence fell over the chaotic Gallery because of a newly posted notice.
-A new Gallery administrator has been appointed.
-Administrator: ㅇㅇ(123.123)
Author: System
A notice of only a few lines.
But it was enough to calm the Gallery that had been burning.
[??? A new Head Admin??]
[Did Mom's spiritual pressure just appear..?]
[So the Gallery's not disappearing now??]
[I was scared shitless thinking the Gallery was about to blow up]
[But who's the Head Admin? No, first of all, was there a 6th Tier among the drifters?]
[So who the hell is 123.123]
Relief led straight back to questions.
Questions about the new administrator's identity.
And it was only natural to wonder about the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar heavyweight at 6th Tier.
Luckily, the identity was pinned down quickly.
The gallery rats who practically lived in the Gallery immediately dug up old posts.

Author: Gallery Addict NEET
(A pic of an orc subdued with bare hands)
(A capture of 123.123's comment claiming to be a priest)
[The new Head Admin was that one?]
[Shit, and they haven't been executed yet after all that?]
[A newbie is 6th Tier..? What have I been doing all this time..]
Once the question was settled, the mood turned back into a festival.
Title: Don't know if the new Head Admin's a newbie, but Otherworlders happy the Gallery didn't blow up, upvoteㅋㅋ
Author: ㅇㅇ(91.91)
I'll go first
[Upvote]
[Upvote]
[Upvote]
[What's the upvote cheat code]
Title: So what field is the new Head Admin in?
Author: ㅇㅇ(171.171)
They subdued an orc bare-handed, so did they hit 6th Tier through martial arts?
6th Tier in martial arts would be Supreme Peak, right?
This is kinda erotic
[Supreme Peak beautiful girl Head Admin ㄷㄷ[1]]
[Supreme-peaking Head Admin]
[Typical Otherworld Gallery, damn]
[The Head Admin said they're a healer though]
ㄴ[What's a healer?]
ㄴ[Like a priest, but an awakener with healing powers]
ㄴ[What's an awakener?]
ㄴ[Someone who awakened healing powers or whatever]
ㄴ[What's awakening?]
ㄴ[This conversation never ends, Sasuke..]
ㄴ[(Dumbfounded Con)]
The mood reached its peak when the new Head Admin's first post went up.
[I'm the new administrator. Please take care of me.]
[So is the Head Admin sleeping?]
[Why the Head Admin has to be a high school girl]
[The Head Admin showed up!!]
[Head Admin showed up??]
But the moment they saw the content, the Gallery went quiet as if doused with cold water.
Title: I'm the new administrator. Please take care of me.
Author: ㅇㅇ(123.123)
It will only be a few months, but please take care of me.
I'm tired from having my Tier cut down, so I'll keep this short.
[..Wait, a few months?]
[Announcing a countdown to your own death the second you arrive, what's that supposed to mean, Head Admin?]
[Head Admin..?]
[(Clinging to your ankle and begging Con)]
[Already training us, so they must be damn good at their job]
ㄴ[Is that even training?]
[Aaaagh, if you don't show up fast and post a correction, you'll have to taste my shit, Head Admin..!]
ㄴ[Why would anyone have to taste your shit]
ㄴ[Forget a few months, the Gallery's gonna blow up in a day..]
ㄴ[Ah! Ja! Ja! Ja! Jat!]
[Fuckㅋㅋ if this isn't trolling, what is]
The Gallery was completely fucked.
…
I got a grip on the situation the next morning.
[The trolls are going nuts, damn]
[Head Admin!! Taste my banana shit!!]
[The Gallery's fucked]
[Former Head Admin.. I miss you already..]
But I didn't bother reacting.
‘They said I don't have to manage anything, so I can ignore this.’
It started to matter only after I'd suffered mental contamination from goblin Kas and shit pics.
Footnotes
[1] ㄷㄷ is Korean internet slang. It is the first consonant of each syllable in 덜덜 (deol-deol), the sound of trembling, and is typed to show being shaken, awed or nervous, roughly "yikes" or "shivers". It appears again in later Gallery comments.
