Demon Lord Gallery

My preparation was simple.
Acquisition of knowledge.
A truly simple and primordial instinct of living beings.
The information I wanted to gain through this was none other than the personal information of the Demon Lords.
You might ask, ‘If it’s information about Demon Lords, shouldn’t you get it from the Demon Lord Gallery, why are you opening books?’, but my opening of books was strictly based on objective judgment.
‘Surely some Demon Lords are related to the knowledge of this dimension in some way.’
While floating nicknames might be one thing, in the case of certain fixed nicknames or characters like ‘Moses’ whom I saw in the arena, they were quite closely related to the information I had encountered in this world.
Besides the existence of Demon Lords, things like ‘Death Star’ and ‘Faust’ were also constantly mentioned.
Of course, in the case of Odin and Moses, they were characters positioned on the exact opposite side of the mythology I knew, but in any case, the fact that they are Demon Lords is just the current result, the outcome.

Therefore, I concluded that ‘since the content about the process or origin was quite similar to the myths, wouldn’t it have sufficient value as information?’

I reached this conclusion 7 days ago. Since then, after finishing my daily tasks filled with gate cleaning and such, I rummaged through ruins all around the world.

I fished out surviving books from massive libraries turned to ashes, and spent a week finding books by call numbers in small, well-preserved libraries.

In this way, I found all the myths from around the world and books related to demons.

“Hmm….”

After reading through these books, or rather piles of books, found through this process for a while, I jotted down a few things.

It was only when the moon set and the morning sun rose that I could finish organizing to some extent.

“Has it already become this time?”

Suddenly, there were only 4 hours left until the Manmajeon regular meeting.

It could have been a burdensome time, but it didn’t matter much.

The organization was more or less finished.

“First, the armband wearers were easier to organize than I thought.”

I was able to organize the three armband wearers – Spider Lord, Wolf Viscount, and Feathered Serpent – very quickly.

More than anything, in the case of Wolf Viscount, it was because he told me his real name.

‘Amon’

The place where I saw this name ‘Amon’ while searching through books this time was among the content about Solomon’s 72 demons.

As soon as I discovered the name Amon, I immediately searched through all the content about the 72 demons, and as a result, I could conclude that the real name of the main manager Spider Lord was Baal.

It was a bonus that the real name of ‘White Skull’, one of the fixed nicknames residing in the gallery, was also estimated to be Vassago, one of the 72 demons.

And in the case of Feathered Serpent, I could find it in mythology, and his real name was─

“Quetzalcoatl”

The omnipotent god who is almost worshipped as the main deity in South American mythology was estimated to be the real name of the armband wearer.

If there’s something a bit different here, it’s that unlike Odin or Moses who became Demon Lords with completely twisted results, he’s closer to a god who originally walked the tightrope between evil god and good god.

Anyway, I was able to find the names of all three armband wearers like this, but the problem was that there were no further results beyond that.

There were almost no fixed nicknames good for estimating folklore or mythology, and there wasn’t much other gallery activity.

In the end, collecting information about Demon Lords/demons ended faster than expected, so until just now, I was rummaging through the past actions of gallery members and Odin’s information posts, organizing simple personal information and memorizing it in fragments.

The organized personal list was roughly like this:

[Organized List of Demon Lords]

EternalVirgin: Just as the nickname suggests. Moderately crazy

Equilibrium: Does both hero and Demon Lord. Crazy. Sword Master 1.

Ten Commandments: Moses. Sword Master 2

High School Girl: High school girl concept but seems elder-level from mentions. Crazy girl(?)

EMPEROR: No matter how you look at it, St*r Wars Darth Vader. Seems normal.

Bookworm: Demon Lord related to magic books. Quite kind.

ㅇㅇ(400.001): Probably estimated to be Mephistopheles from mentions of Faust

In fact, it was closer to a table classifying crazy Demon Lords/normal Demon Lords than an organization.

“…Was it right to just separate and organize the normal ones?”

Wouldn’t it have been much easier to just write down a few normal Demon Lords and conclude to avoid the rest of the Demon Lords, rather than staying up all night to organize each of the dozens or hundreds of fixed nicknames one by one?

‘Come to think of it, that’s right?’

I was amazed at my own stupidity for realizing this only now.

Still, organizing like this wasn’t a waste of time.

It could be useful in avoiding the posts of those crazy bastards.

“Shall we see what other Demon Lords are doing?”

In any case, the preparation I could do now was finished. The spirit division movement will be notified when it’s time, as the armband wearer said, so I just have to wait.

In other words, it could be said to be the most optimized timing for browsing the gallery.

The Demon Lord Gallery I looked at like that was.

[Show-off bastards entered the galleryㅋㅋㅋ]

[Storm.Before.The.Battle]

[Honestly, aren’t I at least upper-middle level Demon Lord?]

[Came back from closed-door training]

[Hey, you passing by]

[Is this….’power’?]

[Be.came.Too.Strong]

“….Did they all take drugs or something?”

They were crazy again.

No, aren’t you tired of this by now?

[The days of being looked down upon as a low-ranking Manmajeon member, the days of just browsing the gallery with nothing to do are gone.
Tears flow when I see my changed self after arduous closed-door training.
Ah, the fruit obtained after hard training is this sweet.
Ah, my potential for growth is infinite from now on.
Manmajeon regular meeting.
Wait for me.
The late bloomer is coming.]

[I’ll let it slide this once. Be careful next time.

In front of a strong person like me, you should be careful with even a glance or a step.]

[Comments]

[Wolf Viscount*: I thought it was a future disturbing image terrorist, but it was just a crazy person]

ㄴ[Spider Lord*: 22222222]

How should I describe this? Demon Lords with chuunibyou?
To be honest, it was true that the gallery members were all powerful, too much to be called chuunibyou.
There were overflowing eccentricities like splitting mountains, collapsing continents, or cutting the sky in authentication shots.
In other words, it could be said to be confidence based on real skills, but the problem is that this community is the Demon Lord Gallery.
Even excluding the match between Moses and the hero spy I saw in the arena last time as it was beyond heaven level, what’s the point of splitting a continent or a planet when there are overflowing Demon Lords who use power on a dimensional scale?
For some fixed nicknames and veteran Demon Lords, it would be no different from a grandchild’s talent show.
As evidence of this─
[Title: Thumbs up for gallery members whose faces are just copying smiles looking at the gallery nowㅋㅋㅋ]
[Author: Equilibrium]
[I remember that floating nicknames using numbers after 666.800 are participating in the Manmajeon regular meeting for the first time, isn’t it too cute how they’re acting without knowing anything?
Give a thumbs up to the gallery members who are grinning at the thought of beating up juniors like catching mice after a long timeㅋㅋ]

[Spider Lord*: I’ve set it so that 666.800 ~ 666.999 area IPs can’t see this post, so talk all you want]
ㄴ[ㅇㅇ(666.103): (From now on, I will start praising the armband wearer con)]
ㄴ[ㅇㅇ(407.432): Is the armband wearer a god?]
[One-eyed Grandpa: We can see a corpse tower after a long time]
ㄴ[One-eyed Grandpa: If I combine forces with that White Skull bastard and the armband wearer, large-scale resurrection spells are possible, so we can beat them up as much as we want]
ㄴ[Feathered Serpent*: Human sacrifice skull tower on]
[魔王: It’s time for this lord to step up.]
[EMPEROR: Ah ㅋㅋ Want to taste some neutron beam?]
[Retry: I really have to relieve stress here, everyone’s deadㅋㅋ]
ㄴ[ㅇㅇ(666.706): Wasn’t this bastard the weakest in the gallery…?]
ㄴ[White Skull: It’s just that the hero on their side is overwhelmingly strong, not that they’re weak….]

There was a post that made the Demon Lords who are freely reporting their recent situations in the gallery now seem pitiful.
‘At this rate, shouldn’t we consider all the Demon Lords who are showing off in the gallery now as dead?’
After reading this post, the community floating before my eyes looked more like a register of the dead than the Demon Lord Gallery.
The word register of the dead wasn’t particularly wrong, as just looking at a few comments now, they were talking about killing and reviving, dragging around those who try to climb up with necromancy throughout the meeting, making chair shapes with bio-alchemy, and so on.
Comments that were not just a bit over the line but gory level were overflowing.
“….Thinking about it again, spirit division movement might be better”
I don’t know how many times my thoughts have changed in a day, but anyway, right now, spirit division movement was feeling quite thankful.
After wishing for the repose of some gallery members’ souls for a while.
I had a small question and started to post.
[Title: But what happens to the gallery when we enter the Manmajeon meeting?]
[Author: ㅇㅇ(111.432)]
[Looking at it now, it seems like all the gallery members are coming to the Manmajeon meeting, isn’t it as good as the gallery being paused the moment all gallery members attend the Manmajeon meeting?
But there’s that relative and absolute space-time improvement or whatever.
Then in terms of gallery logs, does a whole day in the gallery pass without a single post?]
Maybe it was buried in the atmosphere of all gallery members being excited about the regular meeting, but it was a strange point I hadn’t noticed until now.
In any case, if all gallery members participate in the meeting, the gallery without a single user would literally become an empty square, so it could be said to be an obvious question if it’s obvious.
And it seems I wasn’t the only one curious about this.
[Comments]
[ㅇㅇ(666.991): I, no, this lord was also curious about that.]
[ㅇㅇ(666.804): Come to think of it, I hadn’t thought about it because there are so many gallery members and the post generation rate is crazy. What happens to the gallery during the meeting?]
[ㅇㅇ(666.946): Wouldn’t the main manager close it temporarily?]
Demon Lords who were participating in this regular meeting for the first time also had the same question as me.
However, the problem was that they only had questions but no one actually had the information.
[ㅇㅇ(111.432): Isn’t there anyone who knows? And I also want to ask if we can open the gallery window during the meeting, speed wagon please help@@@]
And the one who answered my cry was, as always, Odin…. no, it was another kind explanation fixed nickname, White Skull.
[White Skull: The speed wagon is busy now]
ㄴ[White Skull: Instead, let me explain that you should keep in mind that meeting participants ≠ total gallery members]
ㄴ[White Skull: There’s a big misunderstanding that 90% of usual gallery active users are from Manmajeon]
ㄴ[White Skull: Simply put, gallery members not belonging to Manmajeon don’t come to the meeting]
Oh.
Then why did I receive an invitation to Manmajeon?
Clearly, as an awakened Demon Lord, I shouldn’t belong to Manmajeon.
[ㅇㅇ(111.432): Then why was I invited? I’ve never even set foot in Manmajeon]
No sooner had I transferred my question directly to a comment than a notification window popped up with an answer.
[White Skull: When was it, from the 71928th regular meeting? Anyway, it’s been quite a while, but since then, there’s no one who doesn’t attend the Manmajeon regular meeting except for the hell faction (400 series)]
ㄴ[White Skull: In other words, when the regular meeting starts, the 400 series floating nicknames who were hiding will pop out and become active, so don’t worry]
ㄴ[White Skull: And the gallery can be used even during the meeting, so you can open it when you’re comfortable]
As expected, the performance of White Skull, or rather Vassago, the gallery’s second speed wagon, was certain.
Calling him Vassago does give a bit of an AI feel, but anyway.
“But One-eyed Grandpa…”
It was hard to believe that a Demon Lord who usually resided in the gallery wasn’t looking at the gallery due to some incident in this commotion.
Even just a few hours ago, he was happily browsing the gallery saying he’d share alcohol, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
‘What could have happened for the Demon Lord Gallery earth-bound spirit who spends 30 hours a day here to not be seen?’
Nothing much should have happened.
Probably.
