-A user meeting the conditions has been detected.
-Would you like to become the Gallery’s Administrator? (Y/N)
-Time until closure: 23 hours.
‘Realistically, becoming the administrator is out of the question.’
I hadn’t even properly adapted to the city, let alone a gallery. In that state, I had no leisure to manage anything.
It was a judgment I’d made after thinking things over fairly objectively.
‘…But the gallery disappearing is also a problem.’
The issue was that I still needed the information in the gallery to adapt and play the part of a perfect Priest.
I didn’t want to become the administrator, but at the same time, I couldn’t let the gallery disappear.
In the end, the choice I made could only be to hold off.
‘There’s still time left, so I should hope someone else becomes the administrator in the meantime. If not, I’ll think about it then.’
I pushed the message aside and continued surveying the gallery’s atmosphere.
To say the gallery’s atmosphere was good would be a barefaced lie.
[Any prospective Main Admin yet?]
[The gallery’s really going to close at this rate…]
[There’s a ton of Forum-addict NEET fucks here, so why isn’t anyone getting appointed as Main Admin?]
[Guys, good work all this time. Let’s see each other again with smiles later.]
Inside, it was still full of chaos.
Among them, I clicked on a post asking about something I myself was curious about.

Is there some kind of condition? Can’t you just make anyone the Main Admin?
[Former Main Admin says the minimum cutoff is Rank 6]
ã„´[For real lol;]
ã„´[I’m just a farmer, so what’s Rank 6 roughly?]
ã„´[Right before Sword Master. From Rank 7 up, they’re called Sword Masters and Archmages.]
‘So that means an A-rank Awakener is at least Rank 6.’
That certainly explained why an administrator wasn’t being appointed right away.
But it was still hard to believe that among this many gallery users, there wasn’t a single Rank 6 willing to step up as administrator.
The question was answered soon enough.
Title: If Rank 6 is the minimum, weren’t there a few gallery users who qualified?
Author: Anonymous (91.91)
I think there were a few among the Registered Users. Why aren’t they stepping up?
Just off the top of my head, there’s the 9 Magic Swords, Furry Joa, Fuck off, White Magic, and Princess’s Footstool. That’s four.
[Right? Why aren’t they showing up?]
[Registered Users would rather give up on the gallery entirely than willingly become Main Admin]
ã„´[Why??]
ã„´[I don’t know the details, but I heard the gallery doesn’t run for free. Anyway, I heard they don’t step up because they don’t want that.]
‘…It doesn’t run for free?’
When I thought about it, it was only natural.
No matter how trivial a matter is, it doesn’t arise and persist without some kind of price.
The question was what that price was.
The answer came before long.
It was because one of the mentioned Registered Users stepped up personally.

To handle the gallery, you need to be at least Rank 6
Well, you all probably know that by now
But the problem is that reaching Rank 6 doesn’t mean you can maintain the gallery without any risk
I don’t like long explanations, so I’ll get to the point
To maintain the gallery, you must give up one rank of your Rank
In other words, while you serve as Main Admin, your Rank is forcibly lowered
The previous Main Admin, who’s already dead, was in a research position, so he willingly bore the loss of Rank…
But that was just an unusual case for a Main Admin. It’s best not to get your hopes up
If you understand, get lost
[If it’s just a Rank decrease, it’s not like your life’s in danger. Can’t you just do it? That’s so selfish, ffs]
ã„´[Hehe… If you cut off one of your arms and prove it, I might consider it]
ã„´[Is an arm the same as this Rank thing? Talk sense]
ã„´[How amusing. Of course Rank is more important than life itself. That’s the kind of thing one says out of ignorance]
[Dude, can’t you just do it? The Assistant Moderators handle all the gallery management anyway… If the gallery disappears, our tomorrow is bleak right now…]
ã„´[Impossible. Would you willingly cut off your arm for an unspecified multitude? Let alone for something you don’t even have to do]
ã„´[(Sobbing con)]
‘To put it in my own terms, it means an A-rank Awakener drops to B-rank. No wonder no one’s volunteering.’
It would be hard to equate Rank and Awakening grade completely, but at least that’s how I understood it.
Only after understanding the level of risk did I stare at the message I’d put on hold.
‘Apart from the grade drop, if I don’t have to manage it either, then it doesn’t matter.’
-Would you like to become the Gallery’s Administrator? (Y/N)
-Time until closure: 22 hours.
Of course, having my Awakening grade drop was a shame.
But now that I had no plans to climb the Tower, a high Awakening grade held no meaning for me.
‘For healing ordinary people, C-rank is more than enough.’
Besides, I had no intention of staying on for long.
A few months were enough.
My deliberation was brief.
I reached out and pressed the message.
-You have become the Gallery’s Administrator.
-The gallery closure procedure has been halted.
The countdown to the gallery’s closure finally stopped.
At the same time, a heavy fatigue crept over my entire body.
It was the effect of having my Rank shaved down by one step.
‘…I’m sleepy.’
I wanted to collapse and sleep on the spot, 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, the silence that fell over the chaotic gallery was due to a newly posted notice.
-A new administrator has been appointed for the gallery.
-Administrator: Anonymous (123.123)
Author: System
A notice of just a few lines.
But it was enough to calm the gallery that had been burning.
[??? A new Main Admin??]
[A motherly pressure has appeared…?]
[So the gallery isn’t disappearing now??]
[I almost shit myself thinking the gallery was gonna blow up]
[But who’s the Main Admin? Wait, before that, there was a Rank 6 among the Anonymous Users?]
[So who the hell is 123.123?]
Relief gave way to further questions.
Questions about the new administrator’s identity.
Moreover, it wasn’t unreasonable to be puzzled by the appearance of an unfamiliar big shot at Rank 6.
Fortunately, the identity was figured out quickly.
Because the Gallery Addicts who practically lived in the gallery immediately dug up past posts.

(Screenshot of 123.123’s comment claiming to be a Priest)
[The new Main Admin was that guy?]
[Shit, he’s still alive after doing that?]
[A Newbie at Rank 6…? What the hell have I been doing all this time…]
Once the question was resolved, the atmosphere returned to a festival mood.
Title: Don’t know if the new Main Admin is a Newbie, but if you’re an “I” bro happy the gallery didn’t blow up, hit recommend lol

Title: So what field is the new Main Admin in?
Author: Anonymous (171.171)
He subdued an Orc with his bare hands, so did he hit Rank 6 in martial arts?
If it’s Rank 6 in martial arts, is that Transcendent Peak?
This is kinda hot
[Transcendent Peak beautiful girl Main Admin kekeke]
[Main Admin doing the transcendent-peaking]
[This gallery’s average is destroyed]
[The Main Admin said with his own mouth he’s a Healer]
ã„´[What’s a Healer?]
ã„´[It’s similar to a Priest. An Awakener with healing abilities]
ã„´[What’s an Awakener?]
ã„´[A person who awakened abilities like healing]
ã„´[What’s an Awakening?]
ã„´[This conversation never ends, Sasuke…]
ã„´[(Confused con)]
The atmosphere reached its peak when the new Main Admin’s first post went up.
[I am the new administrator. Please take care of me.]
[So what’s the Main Admin’s hobby?]
[The undeniable reasons the Main Admin must be a high school girl]
[The Main Admin is here!!]
[The Main Admin showed up??]
But the moment they checked the content, the gallery went quiet as if doused with cold water.

It won’t be more than a few months, but please take care of me.
I’ll keep this brief as I’m exhausted from having my Rank shaved down.
[..Wait, a few months?]
[What do you mean, declaring your death sentence the moment you arrive, Main Admin-nim]
[Main Admin..?]
[(A con grabbing at ankles and begging)]
[The way you’re already training us, you look like you’re gonna be great at this]
ã„´[Is it really training?]
[Kyaaah! If you don’t show up quickly and post a correction notice, you’ll have to taste my shit, Main Admin..!]
ã„´[Why would I have to taste your shit]
ã„´[It’s not even a few months—the gallery’s gonna blow up in a day..]
ã„´[Ah! Now! Now! Now! Now!]
[Shit lol if this isn’t trolling, what is]
The gallery was utterly wrecked.
…
It was the next morning when I grasped the situation.
[The trolls are raising hell, ffs]
[Main Admin!! Taste my banana shit!!]
[The gallery is fucked]
[Former Main Admin.. I already miss you..]
But I deliberately didn’t react.
‘They said I don’t have to manage it, so I can just ignore them.’
What made me care was after I suffered mental contamination from Goblin Cass and crappy memes.
