2 – Gallery of Doomed Novels
[You are the only one among the possessed who has reached the realm of a great wizard.]
[From now on, you can receive administrator privileges.]
[The death of the previous administrator has been confirmed.]
[MacDeras, you have been appointed as the new administrator of the Gallery of Doomed Novels.]
Countless system messages began to ring in my ears.
“I became an administrator?”
As soon as I became the Archmage, strange messages started resonating in my ears, and then I became the administrator of the doomed novel gallery, abbreviated as the “Doomed Gallery”.
ㅇㅇ – Finally, a new administrator for our gallery, lol.
Led by an anonymous user, the news of a new administrator taking office sparked explosive interest among the users. It was only natural.

After trying various things through my possession, I found that the only internet community available to the possessed characters in the novel was the Doomed Gallery. A community where Koreans gathered, capable of two-way communication from anywhere.
The news of a change in the administrator of such an important community was enough to attract the attention of everyone.
ㅇㅇ – Save the PDF of the post written by the new administrator. So that it can’t be deleted later.
ㅇㅇ – Does anyone know which novel the administrator possessed?
ㅇㅇ – The administrator seems to be a wizard, maybe? Seems like someone possessed in a fantasy novel.
Gradually, anonymous users started to become curious about my identity. But I had nothing to worry about. I used the anonymous nickname “ㅇㅇ” for all the posts I wrote.
However, something a little different from what I had expected happened.
ㅇㅇ – What kind of erotic novel did this administrator possess? Why are all the posts in the list like that…
When I checked the posts uploaded by the company, I noticed that my post list and comments were slightly raised. The problem was that after becoming an administrator, it became possible to identify certain things.
ㅇㅇ [Administrator] – I’m bored, recommend something to do.
When I checked one random post, there was a mark of “Administrator” and an orange badge next to the name. Swear words came out of my mouth. Even if I used an anonymous nickname, it was a situation where my identity was revealed.
“I must prevent my personal information from being exposed.”
Since being possessed in the novel, the name I have been using is Macduras. It could be the only description of my identity as the only Archmage in the novel “The Incompetent Mage Dreams of Becoming an Archmage”. The reason I wanted to hide my personal information was simple.
I’m not afraid of someone using force. I can confidently say that in this world, I can’t lose in a one-on-one fight no matter who I face. But the world is full of unknowns. Someone could try to kill me through political means, or even form a group to harm me.
“Because of the nonsense spreading in the posts…”
In truth, what I said earlier was just one of many excuses. I simply didn’t want anyone to find out that I had been spewing out garbage-like writing. Besides, in the novel I possessed, I held a rather revered position.
“Why does this never end no matter how much I erase it? It’s f*cking annoying.”
Even if I were anonymous, if someone were to ask why I shamelessly littered the internet with sh*tty posts, I would have a counterargument. Being immersed in a novel full of unfamiliar people, I had to act like a dog, literally rolling around, claiming everything for myself, and repeatedly putting myself in life-threatening situations. Moreover, the people who fell for my act as the protagonist were all eccentric and crazily strong, so it was essential to cater to their tastes and hide my true personality even more.
After learning the Massacre Magic, killing numerous people became a daily routine.
Having experienced all sorts of things, my hidden dark side that I had been concealing and accumulating eventually exploded on the online forum.
ㅇㅇ – The administrator wrote this kind of post too.
Main text: The administrator is an asshole. He wrote that he hates the orc tribe because they are ugly and smell like sh*t. Is this guy a racist? If I find out who he is, I’ll go and kill him. I’m the chief of the orc tribe in this novel. If he’s in the same novel as me, I’ll rip his throat out.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Oh…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Rest in peace, administrator. Action Beam.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – If the administrator is deleting posts in real-time, he’s a loser lol.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ [Administrator] – I think there may be a misunderstanding. It was just for attention, hahahaha…
ㄴ Author – Attention, my ass… Do you know how many times I wanted to die because of bastards like you?
If things were as they should be, I would have cast a reply spell to let them know. But in this otherworldly setting, orcs exist, and the orc tribe belongs to the stronger side, so I kept my mouth shut. Just in case, it might lead to a war.
Of course, if you only look at them as one race, they might not be that scary. However, if humans and orcs were to fight, other different races would also join the battle. I didn’t want to start another world war.
Fortunately, my identity theft quickly led me into a labyrinth.
ㅇㅇ – Is the administrator a pervert?
Main text: Looking at the post, it says that as you reach the realm of “Swordsmanship,” the speed of your hands becomes faster. But this person wrote that they don’t train to swing their sword faster, but to touch their own Excalibur faster.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Ah… this is a bit…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – This guy is really trash the more you read. Why does the writing keep turning out like that?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Why is this bastard an administrator? What kind of criteria is used to select them, to see how well they can provoke?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – I transmigrated into a respectable novel, but if this perverted guy is respectable, I’d rather bite my tongue and die.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – In other posts, they were called a magician, right?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – What does Excalibur mean? (I really don’t know)
I sighed with relief as I watched the chaotic street performers trapped in the labyrinth.
While I wrote over 20,000 posts, I had kept my personal information fairly minimal. Moreover, I had left out essential details and mixed in fictional content and provocative posts. It was almost impossible to deduce my true identity.
Truth: 10%, Provocation: 50%, Lies: 30%, Nonsense: 10%
If I were to divide my posts statistically, would these numbers be accurate? Either way, my identity was beginning to fall into an eternal maze.
Well, I did discover how to use administrator privileges.
[With administrator privileges, all posts and comments written by the administrator will be made private.]
In other words, a bulk private function. With a few clicks, I sighed in amazement, like a primitive man discovering fire.
“Power is quite something.”
But as expected, someone had already captured a screenshot of all my posts.
ㅇㅇ – Capture of all administrator posts.JPG
When I entered the post, I discovered the existence of a lunatic who had saved my posts as hundreds of screenshots. Even if I left it as it was, it would be too easy to figure out my identity, so I took some precautions.
[Nickname: ㅇㅇ / Username: AB6181, permanently banned.]
The taste of power was convenient and sweet.
Then, I posted another article.
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – Sniping is not possible with a temporary account.
Body: If you want to snipe, you have to verify everything, including publicizing others’ post and comment lists. Otherwise, you’ll be blocked.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – hahahahaha, that bastard changed the rules because he got sniped.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – I knew it would happen. They say that clowns turn into tyrants when they hold power.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – You idiot, it’s too dangerous to snipe after verification.
ㄴ Administrator: No, it’s more dangerous for unverified scumbags to snipe with throwaway accounts. I’ve been harassed by false snipes and made about 150 people leave. I’ve been blocked every time, so this is actually my 151st account. I’ve never used a verified account. Anyway, I’m trying to prevent any side effects, so please understand.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – You made 150 people leave with false snipes? Wow, that’s…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – He’s even more of a bastard than I thought.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – The fact that someone who has been blocked 150 times is an administrator… This is impressive.
After possessing and realizing it, I learned that verification was simple. All you had to do was tell the administrator the name of the novel you possessed and the name you were using in that world. It was a simple task. It was impossible to input false information. Even if I didn’t know how, if I inputted false information, the system would reject the verification.
So, to snipe, it meant that I had to reveal at least some personal information to the administrator.
Although we were possessed in different novels, people were reluctant to reveal their identities in their own novels. It was because there was a possibility that someone who was possessed in the same novel might exist.
Maybe, only verified accounts were allowed to snipe, so there would no longer be any people capturing and spreading my posts. How many people would reveal personal information and snipe the person involved? Of course, even if they did, I could just ban them.
‘With this, the first response is done.’
There was considerable backlash about the tyrant thing, but I decided to ignore it without blocking. Blocking users who didn’t like the gallery regulations was a dirty job. If I really did that, riots would occur. I just threw out my justification and waited.
After about three hours, opinions started to diverge.
Opinions supporting me as the administrator began to emerge.
ㅇㅇ – Speaking my mind, I didn’t really care about throwaways sniping.
Original Text: From the perspective of a verified user like me, there’s nothing more annoying than throwaways sniping. If you get blocked, you have to make another account and deal with all that crap. There’s nothing you can do.
ㄴ Author: That’s true, but now that I think about it, the administrator is a f*cking bastard. He gets shot and then changes the rules. He really enjoys being two-faced like that. Those kinds of people are the worst.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – hahahahaha
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Uh… Did you get blocked?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Goodbye, gay.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Cease fire. They’re allies.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – The blow of a verified user, wow.
It was disguised as praise, but it was fine. They wouldn’t block that user. This guy was a true verified user. Besides, being mocked like this was nothing new. As the atmosphere on the bulletin board shifted from anger to mockery, it was also evidence that anger towards the arbitrary changes in the rules was disappearing.
Knock knock knock.
At that moment, the sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard from outside.
“Come in.”
When I responded with a solemn tone, a soldier in full armor cautiously entered and asked,
“Archmage Mcderas. I’ve been trying to contact you with the magic device, but there was no response, so I came to find you. Is something wrong?”
“I was conducting research to improve the massacre magic. We never know when another war might break out, so we need to be prepared.”
“I… I apologize.”
The soldier bowed his head apologetically. I reassured him and extended my hand, but the soldier continued to apologize repeatedly.
“I’m truly sorry. I will make sure to take measures so that the magic device signal does not disturb your research, Archmage Mcderas.”
‘Research, huh?’
I’m sick and tired of massacre magic. Will there ever be a need to use it again?
As soon as the soldier left, I stretched my legs on the desk and entered the community once again.
ㅇㅇ – I verified because of the administrator… Of course, others will take the shot. Anyway, that bastard. He took away my innocence.
The sullen public sentiment was gradually subsiding, but it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
The community administrator, right after taking office, was already playing around with the rules. Even though it was an irreplaceable community, if the administrator pulls this kind of stunt, the community will inevitably go down the drain. At this point, I made up my mind to hold a carrot instead of a whip.
‘Conveniently, there’s a feature like this in the administrator function.’
[Administrator Warp Function] – You can send your belongings to the desired user. The administrator warp function is only available to authorized users.
I called the employee who had entered the room earlier.
“How many wizards are there in Matop right now?”
“Except for the personnel sent out, there are about 300 people conducting research.”
“When I call later, bring them all.”
“Understood. I will make arrangements so that they can come immediately when you call.”
As I waved my hand for the employee to leave, they stepped outside once again.
“Hmm… 300 people should be enough.”
I didn’t feel good about being underestimated as soon as I became an administrator on the Milsogaell forum. But it was alright. With the authority of a grand wizard, I could do quite a lot of things.
I uploaded a post on the Milsogaell forum.
ㅇㅇ[Administrator] – In commemoration of the grand administrator’s inauguration, event open!

It was a moment to show the power of a grand wizard.
Wow, MC seems like a dxuchebag.
