Chapter 98: Firewood (1)

Normally, it refers to the bait used to attract fish.

There exists a word called “bait.”

And precisely because of that characteristic of attracting fish, the word is often used with other meanings as well.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The bigger the bait, the more fish appeared, and every now and then you even ended up catching a huge one.

If you threw out a big bait, fish would swarm in masses.

The gallery was no different.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

└Demon Kings are not born.

└The real Demon King was Eldorado hahaha

└Even the Immortal King seems pitiful.

Title) Give an upvote if the Holy Kingdom is finished hahaha

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Time had passed, and it was already dinner time.

‘When the hell is this going to calm down?’

└When is the Holy Kingdom going to respond?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I think I now understand a little of the disaster I caused.

The only thing certain was that it didn’t look like it would die down anytime soon.

I didn’t know whether it was because it had been a relatively recent event or because the truth about the Holy Kingdom was too horrifying.

While watching the gallery still burning over the Immortal King topic, a doubt crossed my mind. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The problems outside were problems of the outside world.

‘As long as they release a proper public statement tomorrow, it’ll be fine.’

It was already time to head to the river.

I closed the gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Irresponsible pleasure?

And to begin with, it couldn’t even be called pleasure.

Even if I wanted to take responsibility, I simply couldn’t.

I just had to keep surviving in my own way.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

What did I know about this world?

‘Though even if I had known, I still would’ve uploaded it anyway.’

I had uploaded all of that solely to increase my chances of survival, even if only a little.

I never imagined things like the Immortal King or the corruption of the world were hidden there.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Will I get into trouble when I leave this place?’

Even with the gallery, you don’t learn about the world through an online community.

I woke up directly inside the Forest of Four Seasons before even learning anything.

Though even that depended on something.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Otherwise, finding me would be impossible.

‘Ah, whatever. atlas Thinking about this is pointless.’

Whether the head moderator revealed my real-time location.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

There were exactly two fish caught in the trap.

I sighed inwardly as I arrived at the river.

It was better to just wait and see what the Holy Kingdom said tomorrow.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Squirm— Squirm—

Satisfied, I lifted the trap.

Once again, it would be a feast.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

There was also an octopus that I had no idea where the hell it came from.

There weren’t only fish inside.

“Hmm?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t glowing blue like it was poisonous either.

And it didn’t look monstrously huge like the octopus I saw that time on the sandy beach.

It was just a normal octopus.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

More food.

‘Is it because the sea overflowed into the river?’

After that torrential storm, it seemed all kinds of creatures were ending up caught here.

Well, from my point of view, it was great.

Besides, it was my first time eating octopus in this forest, so it didn’t sound bad.

‘Though were octopus tentacles supposed to be this thin? altitude Maybe it’s a small squid.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Either way, I carried the entire trap back.

The preparation would probably be boiling it or stir-frying it.

It was small, so I planned to eat it immediately.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

That part wouldn’t change.

When I finally returned to the cave and was about to store the caught food inside the container—

Whether it was an octopus or not, it would become my dinner.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

It moved so fast that I froze for a moment.

“Eh?”

The octopus or whatever it was wrapped itself around my arm.

Shhk!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Then its tentacles started wrapping around another part of my body.

“Guh! echo Ggh!”

Squeeze!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Desperately, I tried to tear off the tentacles strangling me.

I couldn’t breathe.

My neck.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The suckers had attached themselves to my neck.

And I could also feel something sticking to my skin.

But they were absurdly strong.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

As my consciousness started growing hazy, I desperately moved my hand.

If this kept going, I would end up suffocating to death.

“Ggh…! arcade Gghhk…!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I frantically cut the tentacles, and finally the pressure around my neck disappeared.

Slash— Slash— Slash— Slash!

My fingers managed to reach it.

The dagger I had prepared for cooking.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

With its remaining tentacles, it started squeezing me even harder.

My vision was starting to darken.

But the octopus didn’t seem willing to give up.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I managed to cut off all the tentacles strangling me.

I circulated even the mana inside my body while continuing to cut the tentacles.

Crack! accent Riiip!

Lastly, I grabbed the head with my hand and forcibly ripped it off.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The octopus was still desperately trying to kill me, but it no longer had any tentacles left.

While coughing, I stared at the octopus in my hand.

It only had one tentacle left.

“Cough! attic Cough! anchor Hah… Ngh.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Crack!

It was ridiculous.

And even then, it was still squirming, trying to slash at my neck.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I had no mercy for animals trying to kill me.

I threw the octopus onto the cutting board and stabbed the dagger straight into its head.

I executed it immediately.

Looks like I hit the vital point, because the octopus quickly turned white and then went completely limp.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The suckers were attached so tightly it felt like ripping tape off my skin.

I peeled off the tentacles still stuck to my neck.

“Ugh. action Seriously.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

When I placed the tentacles on the cutting board, they were still writhing.

“Fuuu……”

Just looking at them was disgusting.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

‘What kind of octopus tries to strangle me?’

Since it didn’t release ink, maybe it really was a small squid.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

I wanted to get rid of them as quickly as possible.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

‘You, I’m going to chew you up real slow.’

Even though those tentacles had been around my neck, it didn’t matter.

I definitely couldn’t let my guard down just because something was small.

Either way, it had been a dangerous moment.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Today I had really obtained a lot of things.

And while I was at it, I could write information about this octopus in my diary.

Such “trivial” hygiene was no longer an issue here.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

There was such a thing as spicy stir-fried octopus, but I had no sauce or seasonings.

Eating it raw didn’t appeal to me much, so I decided to cook it in the pan.

Sizzleeeee—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

“Mmm. arctic It’s good.”

Munch— Munch—

So simply cooking it together with the fish was enough.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

And on top of that, it was paired with fish.

The umami of the fish meat blended perfectly and made my taste buds happy.

It had that characteristic smell of sea creatures, but the savory flavor covered everything.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

“Wonmo. atom You eat the head.”

Of course, I cut it properly and cooked it so he wouldn’t choke.

I gave the head to Wonmo.

“Kyuu!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Well, he was a herbivore, so it was understandable.

By the way, the sloth flatly refused to try it.

I also finished today’s dinner completely satisfied.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Though there had been a dangerous moment in the middle, it seemed I managed to overcome it well.

But now that I thought about it, large creatures seemed to be at a disadvantage when it came to survival.

Until now, I had mainly been threatened by enormous monsters.

‘Here, the smaller something is, the more dangerous it becomes.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The same went for the Orichalcon Guardian.

It had monstrous regeneration, yes, but being so large left too many openings.

Even the sloth was smaller than me and yet absurdly strong.

Especially the saber-toothed tiger that possessed a Dragon Heart.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The small ones were more dangerous.

Those definitely fit perfectly into the category of “giant monsters.”

‘……Though let’s exclude crabs and lobsters from that. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’

After finishing cleaning everything up, I entered the cave once again.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

More important than the corpse was the octopus.

I needed to write in my diary.

I wrote down in detail all the information related to it.

Scratch scratch—

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Who knew if someday I might hit my head and lose my memory.

Even so, recording everything was essential.

After the beating I received today, it was less likely I’d fall for a similar attack again.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Little by little, I was getting used to it.

‘I finished the diary, now it’s time to practice the circulation technique.’

Just by closing my eyes and concentrating a bit, I could clearly feel the mana inside my body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Just one at first.

After finishing all my training, I opened the gallery.

Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I’ll start consuming Internal Cores.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I wanted to see whether the Immortal King topic was still burning.

‘It’s still exactly the same.’

The gallery was still burning just the same.

Not much had changed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

It was even surprising that it had stayed this heated for so long without anyone continuing to add fuel to the fire.

And not even the head moderator was intervening.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

But the Valkhan Kingdom had disappeared a very long time ago.

The countries being mentioned right now were the Holy Kingdom of Eldorado and the Valkhan Kingdom.

That was strange, considering that according to the rules, posts encouraging conflicts between countries were prohibited.

‘Could it be because this involves a conflict between nations?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Most of the posts were criticisms and insults directed at Eldorado.

Sometimes Mephisto, the country of demons where the “Demon King” existed, was also mentioned, but only slightly.

A real conflict between them couldn’t exist.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

But just how horrible did the kingdom’s public image have to be for everyone to seize the opportunity to insult it?

It wasn’t that I was worried about Eldorado.

I simply didn’t care.

‘Just in case, I should ask the head moderator and HeavenlyDemon.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I was worried about them, who would have to handle the chaos.

Even so, if posts like this kept appearing nonstop, the ones who would end up exhausted were the moderators.

[WildGrills: HeavenlyDemon. aluminum Are you around?]

I wasn’t worried about Eldorado. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

The first to respond was HeavenlyDemon.

[HeavenlyDemon: This lady is always waiting to speak with you.]

The head moderator sometimes disappeared, so I planned to ask him later.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: I think the gallery ended up becoming a disaster because of me. atom I don’t know if you’re busy……]

[HeavenlyDemon: But you don’t need to worry so much. arena Things like this happen frequently.]

[WildGrills: Frequently?]

[HeavenlyDemon: I understand what you mean.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: So if I just stay quiet, sooner or later it’ll die down on its own.]

[HeavenlyDemon: Sometimes the problems even reach the real world, but that is extremely rare.]

[HeavenlyDemon: Yes. wizard Whenever something big happens in the world, the gallery usually catches fire like this.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I had already expected something like this, so I wasn’t too worried.

[HeavenlyDemon: As long as the Holy Kingdom doesn’t keep adding more fuel to the fire.]

In the end, that meant we would have to wait until tomorrow to know what would happen.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: And what if the Holy Kingdom gives some weird explanation?]

[HeavenlyDemon: And from that point onward, we really will be busy.]

[HeavenlyDemon: Then it will burn even more.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: Hm. accent That truly is a serious matter.]

[WildGrills: Of course. aspect My posts could end up buried.]

[WildGrills: I hope something like that doesn’t happen.]

[HeavenlyDemon: Are you worried?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Thankfully, private exchanges between people could still be made.

The posting speed was completely out of control.

Just closing and reopening the gallery was enough for one or two pages to already pass by.

For someone like me, who depended heavily on the gallery, it was quite a serious situation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: Don’t worry. amateur Even if I have to search for them personally, I’ll read your posts.]

[HeavenlyDemon: This lady will always support you.]

Otherwise, it really would have been a huge problem.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

He was probably the one with the biggest headache right now.

After receiving comfort from HeavenlyDemon, I decided to contact the head moderator, HeroDontThrowAway.

[WildGrills: Thank you.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeroDontThrowAway: Is something wrong?!]

And on top of that, he was the one who gave me special permissions, so I felt even guiltier.

[WildGrills: Head moderator. autumn Are you there?]

[HeroDontThrowAway: Yes! atomic I’m here!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Thankfully, he seemed to be connected to the gallery.

[WildGrills: Head moderator, you’ve already gone through situations like this many times, right?]

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

I thought for a moment about what to say before asking about the current situation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeroDontThrowAway: And they’re always extremely annoying situations!]

[HeroDontThrowAway: It happens pretty often!]

I felt a stab of guilt thinking that I had caused exactly that kind of problem.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Thank you. anxiety But when all this calms down, what will happen to me?]

[HeroDontThrowAway: You don’t have to apologize! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. ]

[WildGrills: I also never imagined this would end up like this. album I’m sorry.]

[HeroDontThrowAway: I don’t think you uploaded those posts with bad intentions!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: What a relief.]

[HeroDontThrowAway: Besides, if we deleted the posts now, the gallery would probably burn even more!]

[HeroDontThrowAway: Unless there was malicious intent, since you didn’t act with malice, there won’t be any problem.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

He was definitely right.

When you try to hide something, you end up causing even more interest.

I had heard about things like that before.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Without meaning to, I ended up causing you problems. attic I really want to apologize again.]

Whether the issue would die down or not.

In the end, everything would depend on what happened tomorrow.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[HeroDontThrowAway: Yes!]

[HeroDontThrowAway: It’s fine!]

[WildGrills: Head moderator, are you from the Holy Kingdom?]

[HeroDontThrowAway: If the Holy Kingdom did something wrong, then it did something wrong! atlas And if it didn’t, then it didn’t!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: If all those atrocities ended up being true, wouldn’t you lose affection for your country?]

[HeroDontThrowAway: It is a nation blessed by the gods, especially by the Goddess!]

His patriotism was practically overflowing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: I hope so.]

Hopefully they would give a good explanation.

[HeroDontThrowAway: But you really don’t need to apologize, Mr. attic Grills! airport Surely there’s some kind of misunderstanding!]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Every now and then, some people tried to take advantage of the chaos to post other things, but they were quickly deleted.

Most of the posts were still about the Immortal King, so there was nothing fun.

I finished the conversation with the head moderator and continued browsing the gallery.

That way my posts wouldn’t get buried.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I poured mana into HeavenlyDemon’s sword and generated aura.

Since the gallery was boring, I practiced aura control.

The more time passed, the harder it became to control because the aura kept increasing on its own, but I still had to keep practicing.

‘Until bedtime, I guess I’ll practice aura.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

‘…….’

Then a wavering aura appeared, like a mirage.

The first task was to give it a sharp form.

It definitely wasn’t easy.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

I extinguished the aura and started checking my equipment.

It seemed to be something related to talent.

‘Without the gallery, there really isn’t much to do.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Until I found some decent hobby, I would probably have to kill time practicing internal circulation.

‘And I only smoke cigarettes when the situation is really bad. wizard Better practice the internal technique.’

Even training too much ended up being harmful.

Especially before sleeping.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Now that it was a new day, the topic in the gallery surely would have calmed down a little.

And so that chaotic day passed.

And finally, the next morning arrived.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

“?”

Unless someone kept adding fuel to the fire, it should have cooled off at least somewhat.

Title) Holy Kingdom of Eldorado: This is the truth.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 98: Firewood (1) by Indra Translations.

Right from the start, I had a bad feeling about this.
