9 – The Dazzling Debut of the Master Sorcerer on the Board
Human beings are creatures who strongly desire what they cannot possess. And that desire has become the driving force of growth, turning humans into the ultimate predators on Earth.
The desire to fly freely through the sky led to the development of propulsion devices, and humans conquered the vast atmosphere.
Airplanes became the backbone of human and cargo transportation, and further advancements led to the establishment of electronic equipment and communication systems to control aviation.
The influence of nations, once confined to their territories, began to extend to the atmosphere, and in the 21st century, the concept of territory expanded to include airspace and territorial waters. In simple terms, when humans, who were only able to walk, gained the ability to travel through the sky, they also claimed clear ownership of the sky.
In this way, progress is an exciting thing in itself for humans, but it is also essential for the establishment of power. That is why humans constantly strive to establish abilities they do not possess.

The reason why people were enthusiastic about the post uploaded by the administrator is directly linked to the human desire for progress mentioned above.
Magic is an exceptional medium that provides both convenience and power.
Since it uses something similar to the human mental power called “mana” as fuel, its efficiency is incredibly high compared to fuel consumption. Moreover, the versatility is outstanding as one human can use various attributes such as fire, earth, and lightning.
Since the average height of a human is around 160-175 cm, it does not take up much space. And even without supplying any fuel, they can easily last for 2-3 days.
Yes. Humans who use “magic” from various perspectives are not only essential elements that can become the core of industrialization, but also the most efficient weapon in warfare.

Title: Did anyone see the post the administrator just uploaded? Is that real?
Text: I thought it was just provocation, but the content is too explicit, isn’t it?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – I wanted to curse too, but I was surprised by how specific the data and statistical information collected from actual wars, starting from the thesis.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – It’s hard to see this as a simple bluff, no matter how much I think about it.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – So, does the administrator have the records left by the Archmage?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Are these bastards for real? They’re not even idiots, where are the crazy bastards who obtain such things and post them on a public forum?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – It could be information that is unusable in other worlds, right? There are places without magic.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Maybe it’s possible if the administrator is just an obsessed fan? Thanks to them, all the forum discussions are focused on them, right?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – Seriously, are they deciphering the practical records of the Archmage because of that sh*t?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ – For real, it might actually be possible if the administrator is an obsessed fan.
The people continued to argue. While the specific methods of using the Archmage’s mass-killing magic were not disclosed, various data, such as the types of magic that existed and the reactions that occurred when the magic was used on living beings such as humans, objects, or animals, were included, along with the results of actual usage in war and various biological experiments.
Those who had expertise in magic could see at a glance that this was a type of thing that an agitator could not simply fabricate for fun. Some argued that the administrator, who had always been interested, was instigating to attract attention, but such opinions did not last long.
[System Warning: Unauthorized information has been shared on the Novel Gallery, which has now been temporarily disconnected from Earth.]
From the moment the administrator posted a single article, the connection that had been established with Earth was severed.
The Novel Gallery was a general community that could be accessed from Earth as well. However, from now on, it had been converted into a closed community that only the possessed could see.
Watching that scene, MacDowell sat down in his chair and soliloquized with a serious expression.
“Indeed, the Ready Outside administrator is not an ordinary person.”
The Novel Gallery was destined to be destroyed.
Those who were possessed in the novel could only access this gallery with the same name. As the name of the gallery suggests, we are all beings who are possessed in a novel that is destined to be destroyed.
I, the untalented mage, dream of becoming an Archmage. After being possessed in this novel, I might have thought that I lived peacefully after several years of growth, gathering various connections and hidden pieces, and reaching the Archmage. But the reality was completely different.
Wars that took place on a racial scale always posed a deadly threat, and it was only after repeated unification and plundering through force that the authority of human races became dominant.
Now, various races maintain a ceasefire and friendly relations, and no one can deny that it is all thanks to MacDowell! His existence has played the biggest role.
The mass-destructive magic performed by McDarras was capable of annihilating tens of thousands of different species at once, or reducing vast territories of over dozens of kilometers to ruins in an instant.
[A fragment from the restoration list of a research journal of an existing sorcerer. EP.1 The danger of mass-destructive magic.]
This post can be considered as a mere taste of several papers and records written during the course of that war. I didn’t post this just for the sake of playing a prank or seeking attention.
The Gallery of Annihilation is one of the many galleries managed by the Ready Outside administrator. It is linked to Earth, but most of the active users are people who have been possessed by characters in novels.
For some reason, the Ready Outside administrator left the Gallery of Annihilation accessible even on Earth.
Of course, even if people were to confirm their dangerous situations in the gallery or claim that they have been possessed by characters in novels with photos as evidence, they simply thought that it was just the interest-seekers working hard to fabricate photos, and they dismissed the Annihilation Gallery as a gathering place for trolls.
Since it was mostly the opinion of the majority that it was unbelievable to be possessed in the 21st century, that’s why I decided to upload it. Detailed photos and various research materials. If I were to post such a cruel and realistic post that is difficult to ignore even on Earth, even if someone were to think that it was posted as a prank, how would the Ready Outside administrator react?
It was fine even if the administrator didn’t respond. Just seeing my post on Earth and reaching the conclusion that those who claim to be missing in the Annihilation Gallery might actually be possessed by certain novels, perhaps not just trolls, would be sufficient, I thought.
But the result was the disconnection of the gallery from Earth.
Followed by the unilateral message from the administrator:
[System Administrator: Please refrain from uploading posts that can cause excessive confusion. At this point, please remember that any act that can reveal your situation or provoke hostility is like digging your own grave. Due to your actions, the Annihilation Gallery, which has been annihilated, has been disconnected from Earth.]
Some people might be frightened after reading the administrator’s message. A being that can possess people from Earth to novels? It is very reasonable to think that they might have the ability to blow someone’s head off with just a flick of a finger.
However, I was convinced precisely because I had the thought that it might be such an existence.
That I am a more important existence than I thought.
Even though I posted content with such far-reaching consequences that led to the disconnection from Earth, the administrator did not impose any disadvantages on me.
“Surely, when I took office as the administrator of the annihilated novel gallery, such a message appeared.”
You are the only sorcerer.
For some reason, it seems that only sorcerers can be administrators, and at this point, there is no alternative to me. So the administrator must not be able to treat me lightly.
Even if my hypothesis is wrong, it doesn’t matter.
To exploit people without pay, and to forcefully turn them into tools, one should be willing to accept this much.
“Master McDermott.”
Choi Ye-bin requested communication with me through the magic device. I raised my hand and responded briefly.
“Why?”
“I just saw what you posted on the Maelstrom Forum… Is it true? That millions of people died in the magical war that occurred there, and that hundreds of thousands were killed as experimental subjects for mass genocide magic…”
I hesitated for a moment before revising my stance. After all, she would be able to tell if I lied.
“This world is a messed-up place. I wouldn’t have become an Archmage just by playing around, eating, and pursuing romance. You know that too, right? In order for a pathetic earthling like me to survive in this irrational world, what kind of hardships do you think I had to endure?”
She remained silent for a moment before responding.
“Well, that’s true… I’m sorry for asking unnecessary questions.”
“Do I look like a monster to you?”
“No. Just pitiful. I can feel how difficult… how painful it must have been.”
I chuckled.
Archmage McDermott.
That is the name I am called by myself and the Tower.
But in the outside world, I was known by a different name.
McDermott, the worst mass murderer in history.
As the discussion board continued to explode with excitement, the reactions of the people were outrageous.
However, their attitude towards the administrator remained the same.
ㅇㅇ – Administrator, you son of a b*tch, why are you revealing this good information only now?
ㅇㅇ – I’m so envious. How did that obsessed guy manage to obtain such valuable information… Did he discover a treasure trove?
love peace – The material uploaded by the administrator is too scary!
killer – The administrator is truly great!
holly trust – There is no doubt that the administrator is a sincere believer. If not, they wouldn’t have been able to obtain such precious information.
ㅇㅇ – Administrator, give us some hints. How long are you going to keep talking about this?
Most people on the forum didn’t think that the administrator could be a grand sorcerer. They would ridicule and attack with false accusations, not realizing that such a despicable person could create, collect, and write such extensive material on grand sorcerers. It was only natural that they didn’t think that way.
Most of them thought that the material must have been stolen or picked up from somewhere. Since they were people who had been reincarnated into various fictional worlds, it wouldn’t be strange if someone like me happened to acquire the material by chance.

As I looked at the forum, I felt a sense of discomfort.
This mockery and teasing didn’t make me feel bad. Well, it was like playing pranks on people. That’s what it felt like.
“Just like you, you’re just a human,” they would say.
As I wandered through the forum, a notification window popped up, and when I checked, someone had left a comment on a nonsense post I had made several months ago.
“What’s this?”
Curious, I checked it out and saw that a familiar user had left a comment. And it was even a secret comment.
love peace (secret comment): By any chance, do you know someone named MacDeras?
