Otherworld Destruction Gallery

The demon beasts invaded the surface.

Then you just need to fight the demon beasts.

But when a famine strikes, you end up fighting the allies and comrades you once stood with.

There’s nothing more miserable than not being able to eat.

Title: Come and Take a Look at My Preciously Cultivated Field!

(Image of a field cracked by drought)

-If you’ve seen it, get lost.

-A field where spirits neither live nor breathe ㄷㄷ

-How could it crack this badly, even if it’s dry?

ㄴ Only the middle part is perfectly round.

ㄴ Did God stab the field with a divine finger or something?

ㄴ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅅㅂ

Author) The soil here is just trash.

ㄴ Blaming the soil because you can’t grow anything yourself.

ㄴ Where did you even try to cultivate?

ㄴ Author) Fron.

ㄴ That’s such a freezing place!

ㄴ What on earth made you think anything would grow there?

ㄴ Author) ㅅㅂ Then where else am I supposed to do it?

After cracks appeared in the existing lands, everyone worked to cultivate new fields.

But there’s always a reason why a place hasn’t been farmland before.

Ah, this is boring. I’m logging off first ㅅㄱ

ㄴ Don’t log off!

ㄴ If you leave, the gallery dies.

Most people tasted the bitter failure of farming and were left discouraged.

The soil lacked nutrients.

There were only two choices left.

Fight against randomly spawning demon beast plants, harvest their meat, and run a dual-farming setup.

Go all-in on combat stats for demon beast hunting, taking the hardcore “failed character” route.

Title: Nope ㅋㅋ I Won’t Do What You Want~

(Image of a clown spreading their hands wide, smiling brightly)

-If I just kill myself, it’s over~

-Please, stop the rage quits…

-Stop making such drastic decisions!

-Do you know what the opposite of suicide is?

-It’s “let’s live,” ㅋㅋ so just think big and survive, alright?

ㄴ What kind of nonsensical advice is this?

ㄴ Isn’t this just pushing someone over the edge while mocking them?

ㄴ Author) You bastard ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ Ah ㅋㅋ Got scratched and ended up surviving.

ㄴ So that was your goal, huh ㅋㅋ

“Ah, that makes three now.”

The bleakness didn’t change.

When the food shortage began, people started eating things they shouldn’t.

Strip bark, boil the inside, and eat it ㅇㅇ

How to eat roots.jpg

Even mud is edible in its own way.

To prevent this from spiraling further, I listed products at the lowest possible prices in the marketplace.

A single meal of instant noodles costing about 300 won each was one example.

As for drinking water…

“This one’s non-negotiable.”

No matter how cheap, there was a limit.

Then I just had to pour out tap water.

-It’s water!

-The Head Moderator has gone crazy!

-Wait, why is the water price this cheap?

-Damn it, it’s the Head Moderator again… I have no choice but to worship them…

In this world, magic wasn’t a particularly rare skill.

Since you could boil tap water using fire magic, it solved the immediate issue.

Head Mod☆) But you must boil it before drinking.

Head Mod☆) If not, you’ll get a stomachache ㅇㅇ;

Of course, things like micro-organisms were neither known nor understood here.

But at least from long experience, people knew boiling water made them less sick.

“It’s just common sense.”

So I simply left a post saying they should boil it.

ㄴ Are you seriously an angel?

ㄴ Wow… just wow.

ㄴ Head Mod’s specialty) They give crystal-clear water for free and even worry about us getting stomachaches.

-Head Moderator, I’ve been drinking rainwater and stagnant water until you came, and it was fine.

ㄴ I’ve even tried drinking muddy water ㅋㅋ

ㄴ For real, once I was chased by demon beasts and drank like a dog. Compared to that, this is
practically holy water ㅇㅇ

-The Head Moderator is just seriously kind-hearted.

ㄴ A guy who knows nothing but the gallery…

ㄴ Thanks to the Head Moderator, I gained strength and got revenge on a demon beast.

ㄴ For real, I could even die in place of the Head Moderator.

At first, I thought it was just a joke, but the feelings they had for me grew deeper and deeper.

Am I going to end up as the foundation of some weird cult?

“Still, that’s going too far.”

I brushed off the unnecessary thoughts and went to find the Knight Gallery user I had saved before.

He used to be a knight of Adrian and was now leading the Adrian Revolutionary Army.

For now, he seemed trustworthy.

Just the fact that he had earned his knighthood, abandoned it, and sided with commoners to help them showed his character.

“He’s a good guy.”

Title: Knight Gallery User, Come Here

Author: Head Moderator☆

(Image of a mountain of sacks piled up)

Lloyd) What is this?

Head Moderator☆) This?

Once the immediate problem was resolved, it was time to teach them how to catch fish for themselves.

Head Moderator☆) Everything.

All the answers lay right here.

It was a fertilizer derived from the Haber process—a magical cheat from Earth that boosted the population cap of the doomed game Earth several times over.

One of its results was nitrogen fertilizer.

Lloyd) Oh, shit, this is fertilizer!

ㄴ Lloyd) I love it so much!!

-What?

-Fertilizer…?

-Shit, give me one too!

The other gallery users who were listening to the conversation started reacting intensely.

It wasn’t hard to understand why.

In the old days, soil had a cooldown period, so it couldn’t be used continuously like in modern times.

Lloyd) I gratefully accept this…

Lloyd) But what is this nitrogen thing?

ㄴ For real, fertilizer is fertilizer, but what’s nitrogen?

ㄴ Isn’t fertilizer usually just dung or something?

Then came the question.

Head Moderator☆) Oh, that?

Head Moderator☆) There’s something called nitrogen in the air. It exists in a triple bond state.

You need strong force to break it apart and turn it into ammonia compounds, which is called nitrogen fixation. Only then can it be used…

I didn’t want to just tell them to use it without explanation, so I tried to explain it a bit.

Lloyd) ???

Ammonia? Nitrogen fixation?

ㄴ I don’t know what it is, but it sounds cool ㅇㅇ

ㄴ It sounds like some high-level magic spell.

Do wizards understand this?

ㄴ Argh… it’s humiliating, but I don’t.

ㄴ I call myself an archmage, but this is the truth… I didn’t understand a single word…

ㄴ Just how high-circle magic is this that no one knows?

“Seriously, these so-called universal theorists of magic.”

They ended up understanding it in the wrong way.

If I could actually use such an incredible spell, would I still be playing games like defending my chastity in the Rabbit Hole?

Even the slightest mistake could flip the genre, so I couldn’t even sleep comfortably.

But I couldn’t be bothered to explain it wasn’t true.

I decided to settle for a vague explanation.

Head Moderator☆) Well, something like that ㅇㅇ…

ㄴ Isn’t this a skill you created?

ㄴ Head Moderator☆) It was made by someone called Fritz Haber.

ㄴ Ohhh! Then what kind of magic did this archmage develop?

ㄴ Head Moderator☆) He made bread out of air.

ㄴ What?

ㄴ Crazy.

Then!!! What kind of relationship do you have with that archmage—no, transcendent being,

Head Moderator!!!

“Um.”

Fritz Haber’s research lifted the population cap from 2 billion to 8 billion.

So, in a way, I could say I’m also a result of Fritz Haber’s research.

Head Moderator☆) A result.

After telling the truth, I exited the post.

“Now I’ll have to wait about a month…”

Using fertilizer didn’t instantly improve the soil quality.

While waiting, I had only one thing to do.

“Should I just browse the gallery?”

I lay down on a straw bed and began browsing the gallery all day long.

Of course, it was something I did every day anyway.

Concept Post: Nitrogen Magic Before & After Comparison.jpg

(Image of dried, cracked soil)

(Image of fertile, rich brown soil that seems alive)

Magic Used: Nitrogen Magic

Casting Time: One month (can perform other actions in the meantime)

Effect: Transforms dying land into the most fertile soil

I’ve rarely seen soil this fertile in my life.

Just standing here makes me feel good; it’s that amazing.

For real, I feel like I could just scatter seeds, and they’d grow on their own.

Wow, you could tell me this was from a completely different post, and I’d believe it.

I’m a farmer, and I feel so happy I could go insane.

ㄴ For real, I even feel like, “Am I allowed to touch this?” That’s how ecstatic I am!!!!!
Ugh, the gullible gallery users’ level is hilarious ㅋ

ㄴ ㅋㅋ Do you really think that’s possible?

ㄴ For real, just the mana cost alone probably killed a few high-level mages.

ㄴ Lloyd) It doesn’t even cost mana, though?

ㄴ How is that possible? Even if it’s the Head Moderator…

ㄴ I have proof; I spread it myself.

ㄴ (Image of fertilizing the soil)

ㄴ What the hell did you do?

ㄴ I’m sorry.

ㄴ Turns out you’re actually a beautiful, great mage.
For the next month, the marketplace was filled with the cheapest goods.

Most people relied on the marketplace to resolve their food shortages, and surprisingly, my income also soared.

“Why else would companies sell low-cost products?”

Even gallery users, who cried about being short on mana pellets and hoarded them, happily bought the goods.

Thanks to that, my income didn’t decrease; it even grew slightly.

So, how do we use it?

ㄴ Lloyd) 1. Scatter it. 2. Occasionally mix it into the soil. That’s it.

ㄴ That can’t be… or maybe it can?

ㄴ ㅋㅋ What’s with the drift in this explanation?

ㄴ Since everything the Head Moderator shows us has been so absurd, now we’re like, “What if it’s true?”

The ease of use also played a big role.

What was medieval fertilizer like?

It mostly consisted of human waste or animal dung.

And even that was often unavailable.

Because of this, parasite infections were a passive condition on medieval status screens.

Why doesn’t this smell bad? What is this?

It even comes in granules, so it’s easy to scatter, and it’s not dirty…

Damn it, I saw it again, and now I have to worship you…

The change was particularly noticeable among agricultural workers, who made up the majority.

At first, their reactions were skeptical, but as they transformed into wild cultists, it became impossible to ignore.

One race, in particular, reacted most strongly to the soil’s transformation.

What is that?

Whoa; ㅇㅅㅇ;; This is totally insane.

It’s absolutely amazing. What is this??

ㄴ You’re at it again. Just eat your meals.

It was the elves whose World Tree was dying.

Full Elf: Head Moderator, what is this!!! / Unread

Head Moderator! Head Moderator!! / Unread

Head Moderator☆: ㅋㅋ Sorry;

Not long after, a message came from Full Elf.

Full Elf: (Image of the withering World Tree)

Full Elf: (Image of pests on the World Tree)

Full Elf: Please, help us. If the World Tree dies, all elves will perish!

Full Elf: If we could just get that fertilizer, we could save the World Tree!

Full Elf: We’ll do anything, so please!!@!

“This isn’t something fertilizer can solve.”

I looked away from the gallery and toward the corner of my cell.

There, an insecticide spray can stared boldly back at me.

Insects need pesticides. So, for crops?

“Pesticides are the answer…”

The solution was right there.

-Ah ㅋㅋ I want to kill these bugs so badly.

-The soil became fertile, and now it’s the bugs causing chaos…

-It’s fine. Bugs are protein.

Just as crops transplanted into the newly fertilized fields began to grow, pests started appearing one by one.

“Is it time now?”

It was the perfect moment.

I entered the store and began searching the pesticide and herbicide categories.
