◈ I Unleashed a Gossip Gallery in Another World ◈
Chapter 7: International Mage Gossip Gallery
──────
After the second slave appeared and the International Mage Gossip Gallery opened, the hottest topic that had set the gallery ablaze at dawn began to die down quickly.
[Notice: Starting in ten minutes, I'll be deleting all mentions related to me in this incident.]
Gossip Gallery Eraser had decided it was time to put a stop to the speculation and praise surrounding him and uploaded the following notice.
Anonymous1: Fuck, I just woke up. Why are you ending the hot topic already?
ㄴAnonymous2: Oversleepers missed out~! Lmao
ㄴAnonymous3: Yeah, it's your fault for sleeping that much lmao
ㄴAnonymous4: The jobless NEET gallery rat finally gets their first win lmao
Normally, users would have complained about the mod power trip, but they were too busy mocking the so-called oversleepers who had started showing up that morning.
[✪There's a mod who makes you a mod if you show proof of a dogeza?]
[✪(Scary Story) Apparently, there's a gallery in the Empire where mods voluntarily become slaves after a humiliating dogeza....]
[✪Gossip Gallery Eraser <- Upvote if you're starting to suspect his tastes lmao]
[✪(Notice) New Gossip Gallery applicants, please take the hint and upload a dogeza photo!]
As time passed, Gossip Gallery Eraser returned to being roasted as usual.
[Gossip Gallery Eraser: Slaves No. 1 and 2, deploy.]
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: You fucking bastard, seriously, know when enough is enough?
ㄴMage Gallery Eraser: I'm definitely going to find you.... (Rest omitted)
Gossip Gallery Eraser openly ruined his own image as if welcoming the trend, so no one in the Gossip Gallery ever deified him again.
Still, that was only within the gallery.
Having proven himself to be someone not to be challenged carelessly, Gossip Gallery Eraser began attracting serious attention from those outside it.

[🔒Anonymous: Excuse me. There is something I would like to ask about combining holy power and dark magic....]

[🔒Anonymous: Mortal. I permit you an audience with me.]
Despite all that attention, Gossip Gallery Eraser did not respond to a single post.

[🔒Anonymous: Big Brother Mod, look at my selfie too!]
ㄴGossip Gallery Eraser: Pull that shit one more time and you're permabanned.
Until the Empire's noble princess made her usual sexually harassing post.
“Despicable man....”
“The worst mod....”
“So if we want to talk to him, we have to take our clothes off...?”
The world's lofty figures now had a choice to make.
Would they cast aside their noble standing and strip to befriend the man who would one day hold dominion over the galleries, or preserve their dignity and chastity to the end?
“Achoo!”
It was the moment an unwritten rule of the Gossip Gallery was born, one Elrod knew absolutely nothing about, even as he lay sick in bed after giving the princess who had sexually harassed him a twenty-four-hour ban.
* * *
“Ugh.... I finally feel a little better.”
About a day after the Magic Circle Challenge ended and the Imperial Mage Gallery opened.
I had spent an entire day sick in bed after pulling an all-nighter, and only managed to recover enough to log back into the gallery the following morning.

Author: Mage Gallery Eraser
Do not mention Dogeza Slave No. 2.
If you're not confident you can beat me, don't challenge me with magic.
Figure out the rest yourselves.
----------
Fortunately, the new slave, the Witch of the West, had done an excellent job as a mod even without me, and the Mage Gossip Gallery was growing smoothly.
Seriously, everyone acts like they hate it at first, but give them mod powers and they handle things just fine.
[International Mage Gossip Gallery]
[✪Healer mages <<< If these bastards aren't the most broken class ever, upvote lol]
[✪I seriously want to smash the teeth in of those assholes who act proud of casting without chants during duels lmao]
[✪Low-IQ idiots who hit a wall at the Third Circle, please stop going around calling yourselves mages.]
[✪This magebro's newly contracted spirit seems to be using Gossip Gallery. What do I do???]
[✪Mana Stone 5090 <<< Do I really need to buy this? Most Magic Circles run fine on a 2060....]
[✪Every professor who recommends becoming a magic swordsman as an Academy career path needs their neck snapped, fuck]
As I expected, mages from across the world had gathered in the International Mage Gossip Gallery, sharing friendly gossip with one another.

[Title: Never use magical tools made by the Fellot Workshop.]
Author: Anonymous (Mage Tower's Top Disciple Eirin)
Nearly one out of every ten is defective, and their performance and value are fucking terrible lmao
The fact this is a state-funded project is a real horror story, fuck lol
[Comments]
Anonymous1: Just use tools from either of the Big Two, Arzen Workshop or Edelheim Workshop. No problems at all lmao
ㄴAnonymous2: Are you some bourgeois bastard? Rather than blow six months of the average Imperial citizen's salary, I'd use Fellot Workshop products lol
ㄴAnonymous3: Magical tools are practically a mage's hands....
ㄴAnonymous4: Please spend some money....
Anonymous5: Anyone who trusts a state-funded project chosen by an Emperor who doesn't even know magic is an idiot lmao
----------
‘This is healthier than I expected.’
One unusual thing was that, aggressive as their way of speaking was, the mages were exchanging fairly harmless chatter and useful information.
[✪Those spirit bastards have been pissing me off lately....]
[✪International Archmage Tier List, Imperial Year 509, Ver. 1]
[✪Fire magic, aka “illegal magic,” VS water magic <<< What's actually the answer here?]
[✪The fact that spell-squirters haven’t invented a cure for baldness means they’re all traitorous bastards lmao]
‘Oh, that last post looks interesting.’
Having searched for the more provocative posts, I finally found one that caught my eye, and my eyes lit up.
----------
[Title: The fact that spell-squirters haven’t invented a cure for baldness means they’re all traitorous bastards lmao]
Author: Anonymous (Margrave Adelheid of the North)
Your Majesty, is this how I do it?
[Comments]
Anonymous1: Artificial Lifeform, welcome lmao
Anonymous2: Top-tier title bait
Anonymous3: Almost tagged you as an imperial spy lol
----------
‘So it was bait.’
That post was nothing more than a bait thread written by the Northern Margrave.
“Hmm....”
A little disappointed, I got up from my seat and carried the breakfast the maid had brought to my desk.
‘Well, getting a dopamine hit every day would be too much to ask.’
Sometimes, I thought, even a peaceful Gossip Gallery like this was not so bad.
* * *
“Hmm?”
About an hour after I finished breakfast.
[Anonymous: There's a fight in the Mage Gossip Gallery right now?]
[Anonymous: Ooh, I wuv fights hehehe]
[Anonymous: Just what you'd expect from mage bastards, throwing a fit over the dumbest shit lmao]
When I checked the International Mage Gossip Gallery again after my food had settled, its peaceful atmosphere from earlier was gone without a trace. It was burning.
[✪Just what you'd expect from arsonist bastards, no class lol]
[✪Look at the way those water-squirter bastards talk lmao]
“Oh?”
Tilting my head as I checked the trending posts, I soon understood why.
[✪Blue mages <<< Urination-disorder patients who cast magic by pissing when there's no water around lmao]
[✪If we dropped a meteor, you'd swim out to sea to run away. Why do you run your mouths so much???]
[✪Everyone knows the moment there's a blue mage in the party, everyone's faces turn sour lmaoooo]
The ones launching the attack in their characteristically fiery tone were none other than the mages of the Red Mage Tower.
[✪But even commoners know water puts out fire, don't they?]
[✪I found an interesting statistic showing that hiring a red mage increases friendly-fire casualties!]
[✪Nothing is more unpleasant than idiots who only know destruction and explosions acting proud of their combat prowess lol]
The ones subtly taking shots at them in their characteristically soft, cutesy tone were the mages of the Blue Mage Tower.
‘They really went at each other.’
Even a child could see what was happening.
The Red Mage Tower and the Blue Mage Tower.
The two largest and oldest factions among the Empire's Mage Towers had begun a war of insults.
“I was wondering why things were so quiet.”
For me, it was a situation that sent dopamine flooding through my brain, so I watched with great interest.
[✪Red Mage Statement]
Then, a post suddenly shot up to the trending board with an overwhelming number of upvotes.
----------
[Title: Red Mage Statement]
Author: Anonymous
If you're pissed, prove it in a duel lol. That's the Mage Tower rule, isn't it?
Pick your duelists and respond within an hour.
If you don't, I'll assume you tucked your tails lol
----------
It was a duel challenge issued by the Red Mage Tower's mages, united as one.
(Author: Red Mage Tower Representative Leonart)
The person who wrote that challenge was none other than the head of the Red Mage Tower, one of the contenders for the Empire's strongest.
Anonymous1: Sounds good. Let's have at it, yeah?
Anonymous1: Should we just apply to open an Arena?
That was not the end of it.
“Huh?”
The identity of the person who replied on behalf of the blue mages to that obvious bait of a challenge was...
(Author: Blue Mage Tower Representative Silvian)
None other than the rising star of the Blue Mage Tower, heir to a venerable house of magical arts and a mage only beginning to make a name for herself across the Empire.
(Author): Pretty fiery for a water-squirter, huh? Lol
ㄴAnonymous1: Let's see how long you stay so confident. Hehe
“Hah....”
As replies came in through the notification bell from both sides at once, I gave a hollow laugh and scratched my head.
>(Red Mage Tower Representative Leonart): I applied for an Arena.
>(Blue Mage Tower Representative Silvian): Can we open an Arena?
The Gossip Gallery's first real-world showdown was about to begin.
