Gallery for Loners After Demise - Chapter 3

Ep.3  The Fresh Newbie – 3

“Each person has a distinctive story.”

The pros living in the gallery must have had a lot of questions for me, but I also had a lot of questions for them. So I was going to post some questions on the gallery first.

[Writer: ㅇㅇ(001.068)]

[Title: So everyone here is filming a survival piece in their own world?]

[How do you handle food?]

Of course, not everyone is living in an environment where food, drinking water, and oxygen are limited like me, but I was still curious about other people’s lives anyway.

How do these people actually live? Although it was only an obvious post that began with a simple question, the comments were getting more spectacular.

[ㅇㅇ(001.124): Hunting. Fortunately, animals don’t turn into zombies. I sometimes pick up raspberries]

This was what I thought of as a normal survivor.

[Teacher of Wisdom*: I don’t need it since I’m a lich.]

[Analyzing big data*: I don’t need a meal either. The energy required is being filled up by self-generating.]

I was confused by the appearance of unexpected foreign forces.

[天上天下唯我獨存*: It doesn’t matter as long as I can breathe]

Some of them were less human than their superiors. According to the kind commentary added by the ancient figures for the newbie, the state of limitlessness was so great that he became a monster enough to secure the kinetic energy needed for his body just by breathing. I couldn’t understand what he was talking about and I didn’t want to.

But there was a separate answer that made my headache the most…

[Suspiciously Rich*: I order food though?]

ㄴ[Yes (001.068): ??? What?]

ㄴ[Suspiciously Rich*] I ordered it with an inter-dimensional delivery service. It’s a bit of a rip-off, but the taste and nutrition balance is good.]

It was a word that melted the horizon of my perception without breaking it. Inter-dimensional delivery service? What’s that? There’s something like that? Is this brat trying to joke with me because I’m a newbie?

[ㅇㅇ(001.068): Stop saying shit. There’s no such thing in this world haha.]

ㄴ[Suspiciously Rich*: You’re pretty skeptical. There is nothing I can do. Tell me your location.]

ㄴ[ㅇㅇ(001.068): My location..?]

ㄴ[Suspiciously Rich*: Yes. The last 6 digits of your IP. I’ll prove it right away if you leave it with a secret comment.]

How is that person going to prove it? In spite of my doubt, I wrote the last digit of my IP in a secret comment as the person said.

[Suspiciously Rich*: Come to think of it, I didn’t ask the most important question. Is there anything you want to eat right now?]

ㄴ[ㅇㅇ(001.068): …Chicken?]

Answering his question without thinking, I felt some kind of expectation rising. No way… No way, right?

[Suspiciously Rich*: Got it. I’ll send it to you right away.]

Almost at the same time as the comment ran, something suddenly appeared in the air and fell to the floor with a thudㅡ sound. I approached and looked at it with a little nervousness, and it was an ice box that was perfect no matter where I looked. Except that the material is an unidentified pure silver whole metal.

“This is crazy…”

When I touched the box, the lid automatically opened. Inside, needless to say, was chicken. The comment window was seen updating in a corner of my view, mesmerized by the appearance of the hot steaming chicken box.

[Suspiciously Rich*: Definitely golden olive for chicken. I didn’t know what you’d like, so I put one marinated and one fried for you. So you believe me now?]

Memories of the past 62 weeks passed through the middle of my brain which had stopped working. The scene of space food, which is almost the same as combat food in the military, going down my throat for 440 days was reproduced automatically like a panorama.

I mean, the space food wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t eat it. To be honest, it was hard to eat the same thing for more than a year. That’s why, I missed the food of the earth so much, but because the earth was also destroyed, I thought I would only eat it until I die.

[ㅇㅇ(001.068): You… Gosh…]

ㄴ[Suspiciously rich* :?]

ㄴ[001.068): You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God! You are God!]

But he’s buying me chicken? Korean people’s soul food, chicken?

[ㅇㅇ(001.068): Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up! Mom, I want to be a hybrid beast when I grow up!]

The frenzy of joy didn’t stop until I was blocked for a minute by the admin. As soon as the blocking was lifted, I wrote a post and attached the proof shot with the chicken to show my gratitude.

[Suspiciously Rich*: I’m more than thrilled seeing you look so happy.]

ㄴ[001.068): I will never forget this great favor of yours, my hero..]

While tearing off the chicken, I wrote a note next to the hero’s nickname, ‘Sweet Furry Guy, Favor 1 stack’. If one of us returns to Earth, I will repay him with countless flying shots at all costs.

While I was ripping off the drumstick after losing my mind for a while, I suddenly had a question. When I was full to some extent, the phrases I saw earlier aroused my curiosity.

What should I do if I’m curious? I’m going to ask.

[Writer: ㅇㅇ(001.068)]

[Title: But what is this IP?]

[I bet it’s not like they’re allocating IPs to telecommunication businesses.]

As soon as I posted a question, there were answers in an instant. The answers were filled with enthusiasm and sincerity as if the image of me being curious about everything seemed adorable to them.

If it was an ordinary community, I would be much more likely to be ignored or get cursed at for being nonsense, but in a sense, their appearance is closer to the users of a rotten work from a flopped game without any inflow than those vicious old users from other galleries. Well, I guess the heat will go down quickly in a day or two.

[ㅇㅇ023.708)] It’s a four-dimensional topological location. One IP per world. If you know all 12 digits, you can know exactly where that world is.]

ㄴ[ㅇㅇ(001.068): So it’s impossible to identify where that person lives with just the first six characters?]

ㄴ[ㅇㅇ(023.708): That’s right. But think of it as your personal information and don’t let it slip away as your personal information will be stolen from the moment 12 digits are exposed. Because you can use it to do bad things as much as you want.]

I just sold that personal information for two chickens. Wouldn’t it be better if you told me earlier? Well, even if I knew, I wouldn’t have given up on chicken. It won’t be a big deal anyway, given that you haven’t stopped others from calling out your coordinates. Maybe.

For reference, the unidentified ice box (?) disappeared without a trace as soon as I received the chicken. Does it have an automatic collect function? It was really unnecessary over-technology for a chicken delivery.

By the way, how much money do I have to make to eat three meals a day with such extravagant services? I mean, how the hell do I make money that works in other dimensions in the first place? As a loner who can’t be found in civilization? Do I have to do something with someone else from other dimensions?

Solving one question raises another question as if it follows one after another. I was worried that this would never end, so I turned off the gallery and sat on the bed. It should be the right time to sleep after I read the gallery-related tips that someone told me earlier.

[Tip. What is a shared ID and a fixed ID?]

[When working in the gallery, there will be users with 6-digit IPs next to their nicknames and users who do not. Those who do not see UP next to nicknames are those who entered their personal information and officially signed up for membership and do not add IP to distinguish users because it is impossible to overlap between nicknames. This is called fixed ID or Gonic for short.]

[However, if you are not formally subscribed, you can write and comment in the gallery, but you cannot prevent the duplication of any nickname, so many users of the same nickname can occur. Therefore, they are distinguished by disclosing some of the four-dimensional phase coordinates and IP. Of course, it is impossible to completely identify the first digits because they may overlap equally with only six-digit IP, but if all 12 digits are disclosed, the risk of personal information leakage is too high, so it takes its current form. These users are referred to as shared-nick, or Shared for short.]
