Do you know who the current Gallery Master of the Hunter Gallery is?
It’s none other than Isia.
In the past, when Yujin perfectly wrapped up the S-grade Raid Dungeon with his teammates, Yujin was the Gallery Master. Depending on the trending Hunter broadcasts or popular memes each month, foreign S-grade Hunters, or rookie A-grades, or even total newbies just graduated from the Academy would sometimes become the Gallery Master.
There was a female Hunter who had the ability to have a tongue similar to a frog and smooth skin. She became quite the topic, and various memes and images circulated about her. Although she didn’t have great strength, she managed to maintain her role as gallery master in the Hunter genre for a while.
And recently, the one stirring up the most buzz is Isia.
There are various tags attached to Isia.
The Hunter Gallery records diverse information about Hunters from all over the world, including Korea. For example, in Isia’s case…

『The Gallery Master, that damn annoying one, perhaps because of how quickly Hako skyrocketed, her mental state is freaking messed up.
At first, I thought she was diligent, always turning on the camera for even small things, but once her average view count hit over 10,000, she suddenly became super nonchalant.
Of course, it’s natural that her view count drops since she hasn’t even been streaming for six months, but that damn woman isn’t giving any notice and is taking a break again.
She looks like she’s in hell, her butt getting fatter. laughs』
Cue dramatic music
Imagine this:
Isia, who became the Gallery Master in such a short time, isn’t she lacking substance?
She has power, tentacles, assumed rank S, a majestic Seongnyeok pouch, looks like she has plenty of money, and a decent appearance—other than that, she has nothing, right?
Oh wait, thinking about it, she has it all, that annoying chick. laughs
[Hahaha]
[Got everything, huh? laughs]
– [Hahaha]
– [For real laughs]
– [That’s why she isn’t streaming, right? laughs]
[But honestly, the Gallery Master has huge things.]
– [Not her tits. It’s the Seongnyeok pouch laughs]
– [You gay…]
– [I wanna do it, heeung, Noona… giggles]
[You gay. Didn’t the Gallery Master stream at Daesanrim last time…?]
– [So? Is it enough to stream for a bit?]
– [You dumbass laughs don’t you know what Daesanrim is for?]
– [What the hell… laughs]
– [This dude is seriously clueless laughs]
– [Student…, does school lunch…. still have milk…? Back then, I didn’t want to drink regular milk so I blended it… you know… winks]
– [Old man… it’s been over 20 years since they stopped serving milk…]
– [?]
– [Really?]
– [What’s Jedy again, you weeb?]
[The Elf Great Forest is notorious for being closed off.]
– [I know it’s closed off, but what does that have to do with the short broadcast?]
– [It’s classified, dumbass.]
– [Classified? But you can stream from Daesanrim?]
– [They must’ve gotten permission, you know.]
– [Is this dude just pretending?]
– [No, if the Gallery Master went to the Elf Great Forest, she must have taken a somewhat classified quest, and streaming there was within a limited area without issues. An assumed rank S Returnee Hunter couldn’t be too busy to stream every day, damn. Should I explain all this for you basement-dwelling losers to understand?]
– [Aaah, that’s right…]
– [Damn it, why am I getting hit!]

A drawing of the Gallery Master shaking hands with the Vice President of the Hunter Association
Currently a B-grade Hunter.
See the photo?
The girl with blue hair next to the Gallery Master is Yeonhwa, the granddaughter of Yeonseo.
A few months ago, she became a monster as the youngest A-grade, and even though she joined a guild immediately after becoming A-grade, she seems to have been awarded for the most monsters hunted and most dungeons cleared this time.
By the way, Yeonseo also attended the awards ceremony.
From what I’ve seen when the Gallery Master was talking with Yeonseo, they seemed to know each other well, which gives that click of realization.
I saw the Gallery Master smiling brightly while receiving the award, and it was super cute.
But damn, every time she walks, that Seongnyeok pouch sways so majestically, it’s really distracting.
It’s hard to believe that she must be wearing something underneath, but it really sometimes looks like she’s going commando.
Anyway, looking at the Gallery Master receiving the plaque, the content just said, ‘This award is given to the person who has made significant contributions to society’ and so on, so I couldn’t tell what exactly she got recognized for.
But seeing that the Gallery Master received an award, it seems she did something in the Elf Great Forest, though it’s probably confidential.
So, what does the Gallery Master represent?
Isia is invincible and a goddess!
[No bra? Shit, possible!]
[Food please!]
[Hey, just one bowl of rice!]
[Damn it, the Gallery Master is a Returnee, but what’s Yeonhwa’s excuse? She’s been stuck at C-grade for over nine years; how the hell is she already an A-grade at that age?]
– [Yo, you too? Hey, me too!]
– [You too?]
– [For real laughs]
– [This shows that Hunters get a huge boost from their bloodline. chuckles]
– [What nonsense. It’s been clarified that Hunters don’t get boosts from bloodlines. Stop talking bullshit laughs]
– [You know those attention-seekers always appear.]
[What’s going on? Can someone summarize that in three lines?]
– [Just read the text, you idiot!]
– [The level of comprehension these kids have nowadays is seriously awful.]

『If you don’t know, search it, idiot.』
– [For real laughs]
– [Hahaha]
– [Just in case there’s someone who really doesn’t know, the Hunters Association gives this award each quarter to the Hunters who achieve the best performances or have outstanding activities. This isn’t your regular award, as it comes with a cash prize of 1.5 billion. Plus, it also counts for the President’s award and the Minister of the Association’s award, which together grants conditions for S-grade advancement. So essentially, receiving this award is equivalent to achieving the conditions for S-grade advancement.]
– [For real?]
– [Except for Yujin from the first Great Rift and first-generation Yeonseo S-grade Hunters, all S-grade Hunters have received this award.]
– [What? Can the Gallery Master really become S-grade?]
– [Who knows?]
– [If she received that, the chances are high.]
[But for what reason did the Gallery Master receive an award?]
– [Unknown. At the ceremony, she didn’t mention why she was receiving it.]
– [Did she trade her body to the president for it?]
– [That crazy bitch laughs]
– [Delete that before the Association sends a lawsuit.]
– [But if the Gallery Master shows her Seongnyeok pouch and asks for something, it seems like most would give it without question.]
– [Interesting.]
Sound of a sigh, followed by a dramatic trombone sound.
“Huh, don’t be picky if you don’t want to get in trouble.”
Ah, home is comfortable.
Home feels nice.
Of course, the place Olga provided for me in the Great Forest wasn’t bad by any means.
It was a place good enough that even someone with a corpse like mine could feel comfortable, but the sense of stability that comes with home is something that can’t be matched.
My bed, my blanket, my pillow, now even my lucky Bladed Centipede that feels like family.
Grrr… (Get off me…)
“Did you miss me too?”
I hugged the centipede like a body pillow. Seeing it struggle violently, it seems like my lucky Bladed Centipede also missed me a lot.
For reference, this lucky Bladed Centipede had been curled up in a room they used as storage with its coil since I left the Returnee Shelter about a week ago to head to the Great Forest, and even after I returned, it was still fast asleep without changing position.
Honestly, I initially wondered if I could just leave it alone without feeding it.
What if this centipede couldn’t handle the hunger and ventured out of the Returnee Shelter, causing a major catastrophe outside?
Fortunately, centipedes have an ecological trait where they can go a month without food once they’ve eaten, and surprisingly, the lucky Bladed Centipede has enough intelligence to follow my command of staying indoors.
“Mmm… okay, you’re a good one. A good one.”
So, obedient as it is, I fed the centipede with the present I brought from the Great Forest.
Thank goodness, this little one seems to really like my gift…
Fssh! (No, you’re supposed to eat it!!!)
Hissss!
What I’m feeding it now is bean meat.
A set of bean meat.
Bean meat raised and prepared directly by the Elves.
The Elves seemed quite impressed by what I ate in the Great Forest, so they gifted me a staggering amount of bean meat, at least 100 portions. Thanks to that, I fell into deep thoughts about how I should handle this lovingly packaged violence.
It’s not that it’s tasteless.
However, as I’ve shared before, if I were to compare this bean meat made by the Elves to other foods, it would be like candy without sweetness.
Salt-free spam.
MSG-free health ramen.
Fried chicken without seasoning or brining.
It’s definitely not tasteless, but eating it leaves a somewhat sour impression. The more I eat, the more I feel like throwing up and it becomes something I’d rather not have in my mouth.
That said, I can’t just throw away this precious food created with the care of sacred spirits and Elvish hands.
As a Seongnyeo, I must never disregard the many efforts and care gone into cultivating the beans, nor the blessings of wind and sun.
So, I was feeding it to my precious lucky Bladed Centipede.
Grrr… (This is good for you.)
Of course, I didn’t just bring back the bean meat.
The Elves in the Great Forest told me to ask for anything I wanted in the future, anytime.
Moreover, the crops grown by the Elves would fetch extraordinary prices in the Earth for the kind of luxury items they are, and being expensive, they also have delightful taste. Just like the gourmet cabbage that Yeonseo Unnie cultivated back then, knowing I could enjoy such excellent crops anytime is great for me.
Although it’s a bit embarrassing, I’ve turned somewhat into a benefactor for the Elves.
Initially trying to help my dear Mangjidan Olga, in the end, I ended up helping the entire Elf race and their Great Forest. Well, I have no grudge against gaining precious allies.
Ah, for reference, I managed to get a small fruit that looks like an apple on the head of the Big Olgania.
Something that seems like a concentrated remnant of a malicious entity, it feels like it could be consumed as a supplement. Using it for cooking in the dungeon later and saving it for dessert doesn’t seem bad either.
“Speaking of which, I should start the broadcast soon….”
Eh, whatever.
What’s the big deal about broadcasting?
Having just gone through various experiences in the Great Forest has me feeling somewhat drained.
Even though it isn’t a body that feels tired, there is something called mental exhaustion, right?
“Should I go for a walk?”
I got ready to go out casually.
Great. The weather is just cool enough; a knitwear should suffice.
Hmm, seems like undergarments are such a hassle. I’ll just go without any—they don’t affect the shape of my breasts anyway; it’s fine. Not wearing any is much more comfortable.
Just a coat on top should be alright.
“Do you really have to eat all of this?”
Grrr… (Get off me… damn…)
When I looked at my smart watch, it was only 11 o’clock.
While staying in the Elf Great Forest, I seemed to have gotten used to sleeping early and waking up early—unlike before, where I would fall asleep late into the night and wake up in the afternoon.
At 11 o’clock, Seoul appeared to be quite tranquil.
Initially, I strolled near Dangsan Station and then walked all the way to Yeouido.
The air was quite refreshing.
I recall the air in Seoul in 2024 being severely polluted by fine dust from China and vehicle exhaust, but in 2088, the air in Seoul praised how pure and cool it felt, almost reminiscent of clear countryside air.
With advancements in technology, vehicle emissions and pollution are almost non-existent, but this city of Seoul must have been rebuilt after nearly facing destruction.
“Wow, isn’t this the middle school I used to attend…?”
Of course, the name has changed, and the structure looks entirely revamped. It’s not a middle school anymore, but a high school? Looking at the students, it appears to be co-ed.
By the way, Yeonhwa wasn’t in a regular humanities school; she was in the Hunter Academy, right? She must have had a hard time…
I hardly recall anything from my past life as a guy… but sometimes, familiar scenes flash across my mind.
While strolling near the school, perhaps due to it being lunchtime, several students were bustling around the sports field and nearby dining hall, and suddenly, a group of students rushed towards me.
Huh?
What’s this?
Wedge?
In an instant, blocked by the students, I couldn’t help but tilt my head in confusion.
Gasp, are they trying to mug me?
“Y-You’re Isia, right?!”
“Um?”
One girl darted out from the crowd, her face turning bright red as she asked me. Seeing the other girls also blushing and fidgeting, it looked like she was pushed to step forward.
There’s really no need to be that bashful…
I’m not some difficult person. I’m not an entertainer or politician either…
But anyway, denying it won’t change anything. I gave a slight nod to the shy girl.
“…!”
“Y-You’re right!”
“Is it really you?…”
“Wow, it’s true…!”
“She’s so big…!”
Fortunately, it seemed I wouldn’t have to worry about getting mugged by delinquent students.
“We’re fans!”
“We’re fans too!”
“I really enjoyed the Bladed Centipede Frying Mukbang!”
“I’m a part of Mangjidan too!”
“I always watch your broadcasts! Are you streaming now?”
Oh? These days, even students watch Hunter broadcasts?
Well, it does make sense, since the demand among students is pretty significant. Many Hunter streamers probably implemented age restrictions or blood filters.
I’ve heard the main purpose of Hunter broadcasts is for Awakened Hunters to present a friendly image to the general public and prove we’re all human too.
Seeing that both Hunters and Hunter broadcasts are popular among students seems like the Association’s efforts are finally paying off.
“Ha ha, take your time talking. I’m not in a rush.”
“Gah…!”
Without realizing it, I smiled, and the students held back their breaths.
‘Well, it’s not like I’ve done anything that remarkable, but it’s slightly thrilling to have fans…’
“U-Um… Can you… give me an autograph…?”
“Oh, sure! Of course!”
“Wow… thank you!”
A girl with a book clutched in her arms handed me a pen.
This was a first for me. I’ve received praise as a Seongnyeo before, but being approached so closely for an autograph from a fan…? It felt like I was a real celebrity.
So, should I sign on the book?
As I was about to sign the girl’s book, she suddenly hid it behind her and leaned forward, presenting her chest.
Um, what’s going on?
“C-Can you sign here…?”
“………?”
Huh?
Are you asking me to sign on your chest?
The girl pointed to her school blouse above her breast.
“I… I want to grow up like you, Seongnyeo Hunter…”
“………….”
I mean, it’s not a difficult request…
If that’s what you want…
“What’s your name?”
“Shin Moon-hyang.”
What a unique name.
She seems like someone who enjoys reading, so it suits her.
Scratch, scratch.
“Yay! Got it! Got it!”
Is this really a big deal?
The girl, who looked a bit dark and timid, was fluttering with delight for getting a signature on her chest.
“Uh, I too… Can I?”
“Can I too?”
“…..”
I guess there are days like this too.
So, one by one, I ended up signing for over 40 female students before I could finally escape that place.
There seemed to be more students peeking their heads out, wanting to chat with me, but sadly, the bell rang, signaling the end of school lunch, so I had to part ways with them.
The scenery while walking down the street also looks pretty nice.
Now, it’s a completely unfamiliar alley, street, school commute area, along with snack shops and stationery stores.
It seems this is the first time I’ve taken a stroll nearby since returning.
‘Now that I think about it, when I first arrived, I spent a month cooped up in the Returnee Shelter without stepping outside…’
It seems I’ve also changed for the better a bit.
If Menelapie were here, she would have praised me.
Ugh, let’s stop thinking about Menelapie…
Tap, tap.
“?”
But since earlier, I’ve been hearing footsteps behind me.
Sure, I can always hear people walking, but there’s an odd feeling like someone is specifically following me.
What is it?
Tap, tap.
Hollow, hollow.
At least before that, right when I was surrounded by students at the school, I hadn’t sensed anything, but it has somehow attached to me now.
Curious, I tilted my head and stopped walking, only for the footsteps behind me to stop as well. Not feeling threatened or needing to tease, I just let it slide, yet it’s only natural to feel wary if someone keeps following me.
It’s probably a fan, right?
Yeah, it’s just simple fan admiration; there’s no need for me to get overly sensitive.
Well, being a streamer is somewhat like selling my face to the public, so it makes sense that more people would start recognizing me while walking around like this…
“D-Don’t move!”
“……?”
Just then, someone behind me pressed a damp handkerchief over my mouth.
It seemed like they were trying their best to firmly cover my mouth with some sort of pressure, yet I didn’t feel any threat, and I just stood there without a reaction, unsure what to do.
What is this?
What on earth is going on?
No, I felt movements much earlier.
I had thought it was merely a shy fan with a slightly peculiar personality, too timid to approach me, but I didn’t anticipate such sudden actions would happen.
And the smell coming from that handkerchief…
Sniff.
‘Anesthetic?’
I felt a firm sensation tingling at the tip of my nose and tongue, but that’s about it.
This Undead Seongnyeo has a body that’s so top-notch, that not even toxins could affect me easily unless I actively allow it.
Of course, drinking alcohol was a different thing altogether…
But why are they trying to use anesthesia on me?
What could be the reason?
I just can’t figure it out….
‘Oh?’
Ah, could it be…
‘Is it a stalker?’
Kyaah!
I’ve finally attracted a stalker!?
For some reason, it made me feel surprisingly joyful.
