[From Today, Isia Is the Gallery Master](10021)
ㄴRecommended: 9421
A post boasting overwhelming likes and comments entered the Hall of Fame of the Genre Hunter Gallery.
The content wasn’t anything special.
It was just a meme capturing Isia’s last broadcast with sound effects, but it was anything but ordinary.
『
“Okay! Left side! Right side! Hao Mukidashite~ Patpatpa~”
“Uaaah, save me!”
“Terekusai ne~”

[Hey, isn’t that a total oldie song?]
[Ah, the gallery master is a returnee lololol]
ㄴ[For real, that oldie vibe is kind of sneaky lolol]
[That song just got a remake, so maybe it’s not an oldie?]
[Still, my mental age is 21! Hawa Hawa]
[Old or young, who cares? The Seongnyeok pouch is OP.]
ㄴ[For real lol]
ㄴ[Hee-Eung, noona…]
The content stemmed from an unintended co-broadcast with a stalker from a while back.
For now, the drone camera’s identity protection filter was in effect, so the stalker’s identity remained a mystery.
For both Shia and the stalker, that was probably a good thing.
Even if things ended well, the streamer Isia forgave and rehabilitated the stalker, stalking and kidnapping are still serious crimes.
In Shia’s case, it ended without any issues. If it were someone else, who knows how it could have turned out? If identities were confirmed, innocent relatives or acquaintances of the stalker could have been affected, too.
Where there are many people, there are bound to be those who cross the line.
[Yours was a baby. If it’s a chicken, it’ll be a chick.]
[Eh…?]
[But we don’t fry chicks into chicken, do we?]
Anyway, with the provocative themes of “stalking” and “being kidnapped(?)”, Shia successfully crafted a rather excellent and saintly conclusion.
It wasn’t something to be criticized for being over-the-top. Although the topic was sensational, Shia kept the tone light and humorous, so it could have felt like watching a comedy film from the viewers’ perspective.
『
[Ah, no! This is really too much!! H-Help! I mean, please help!][Uuaaaaa!]
[Save meeeeee!]
[Shi-baaaaa!]
』
[LOL]
[Ah, the streamer doesn’t show his face.]
[For real lol If he didn’t know online, touching the gallery master in real life means you better be ready to die lol]
[Even if the gallery master seems like he talks a lot of nonsense, he’s surprisingly sharp about stuff like this.]
[Only set to identify himself, so he’s making sure to protect everyone else’s identities.]
ㄴ[Even if they call him a nuisance, he’s still a saint.]
ㄴ[Hee-Eung, Saint Noona…]
Especially the scene where the stalker, without any fear, got schooled by the Crazy Red Chickens had viewers feeling not upset but rather elated.
[I’ve tracked down that audacious stalker.](32)

[There’s nothing to find, dude.
It’s way too broad a range.
The only thing we know from the broadcast is that he’s a C-grade hunter and a guy, but how many C-grade hunters are there in our country? LOL]
[A guy living in Seoul, a C-grade hunter, a loser.]
[With the identity distortion filter working on the gallery master’s broadcast, it’s impossible to determine someone’s identity by keywords.]
[LOL]
[It’s better not to look for him.]
ㄴ[Why?]
ㄴ[The streamer told us not to dig up his identity.]
ㄴ[Really?]
ㄴ[Yeah, during the broadcast earlier, he said he rehabilitated the stalker, so just leave him be.]
ㄴ[Since the individual is fine, no one should say anything.]
Of course, amidst all this, Isia kept up her nonsense without fail.
[… I’m Ihee. Ehehe. Look over there! Big egg. It’s different from Wyvern eggs, you know. I’m going to get that.]
[Crazy… This is nuts…]
[As always, with the nonsense LOL]
[Someone mentioned a breeding saint while chatting, but honestly, is that possible?]
ㄴ[Totally possible.]
ㄴ[How’s that impossible?]
ㄴ[Where’s it? Show me!]
ㄴ[There’s none?]
ㄴ[If not, you better create one! You guys are saying too much!]
ㄴ[LOL]
In between, the scene of shredding a Crazy Red Chicken into pieces was picked as a significant highlight.
Given that Isia’s drone camera boasted overwhelming basic performance, it was capable of producing beautiful angles on food preparation and completed dishes, just like a Michelin or cooking show.
Of course, as usual, it wasn’t all nonsense.
『
[Hey….]
[Huh?]
[Um… Isn’t it late? No, isn’t it?]
[Omnomnom… So, is it too late to go back?]
』
Thanks to the artistic drone camera work and angles, the sight of Shia munching on chicken by the campfire looked like a beautiful scene from a movie, leaving the viewers with unexpected emotional moments that hit their tear ducts.
『[There’s no late time in life. As long as you are alive, it’s never too late.]
[……………Ugh, sniff…]
[The moment you decided is the right time. I was the same. I appeared to be 84… No, was it 85? Though my mental age is 21… but still, from my experience, that’s the truth. When you think it’s late, it is late, yes. But if you don’t do anything thinking you’re late, it’s not that you’re late; you’re left behind forever.]
[Sniff, hiccup… sniff…]
[Oh, don’t cry. It’s the ugliest thing to see a grown man crying like that?]』
The saint, who had always babbled nonsense, smiled genuinely as a true saint, causing even the stalker who had kidnapped her, and the viewers watching, to hold their breath in shock.
『[Gulp, if you have the will to move forward. If you’ve made up your mind, I can help.]
[…Sniff, uh….]
[Helping those who have lost their way is also a saint’s duty.]』
[Noona….]
[Wow, she’s so pretty, damn!]
ㄴ[For real, she’s ridiculously pretty.]
ㄴ[Report the pervert.]
ㄴ[I don’t have a mother, though?]
ㄴ[Sorry..]
ㄴ[Wait, this is suddenly becoming all about mom lol]
ㄴ[LOL]
[Gallery Master! Gallery Master! Gallery Master!]
[This is our Gallery Master!]
[The Genre Hunter Gallery is now the Genre Nonsense Gallery!]
ㄴ[LOL]
ㄴ[Not wrong, though lol]
[Is that a saint…?]
[Hee-Eung, noona…]

Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god! Isia is a god!
But honestly, I’m not saying it to that stalker; I think it’s for us, too.
To be honest, among the idiots here, there might be some who are living a normal life while doing gallery master and net runner nonsense, but there are many losers like that stalker we just saw.
Of course, we shouldn’t generalize. Every person’s situation and life is different, but what the gallery master said might sound like a granny’s advice at first glance.
But what the gallery master said about ‘when you think it’s late, it is late, but if you just stand still, you’ll forever be left behind’ is truly heart-stirring.
That applies not only to that freakish forever C-grade hunter stalker but to all of us.
Dear idiots of the gallery.
If you love the gallery master that much, let’s do what she said.
First, stop lying around, playing on your smartwatches. Get up and take a shower.
If you’ve washed and have nothing else to do, at least go work out.
Or just do the dishes or cleaning at home for your mom instead.
I just got up to wash my face, then sat in front of the computer after washing the dishes for my mom.』
[Ah…]
[This is important. It’s true that minor mindset changes can change one’s life.]
[Why does this feel like it’s about me…?]
[So sad…]
[After seeing this, I went outside to check. My mom is crying.]
ㄴ[What is it? Is she crying seeing your face?]
ㄴ[Yeah, damn it. I haven’t seen my mom’s face in three months since I became a severe recluse.]
ㄴ[Eh…]
ㄴ[Ehh…?]
ㄴ[Wow, that last comment was pretty brutal.]
ㄴ[Apologize.]
ㄴ[That’s crossing the line.]
ㄴ[I’m sorry.]
ㄴ[LOL]
[But you know, people are kind-hearted. If they tell you to apologize, they really do apologize…]
Thus, Shia started to solidify her position as the gallery master in the Genre Hunter Gallery.
Even those net runners who hadn’t known her in the gallery began to recognize her name at least once.
And at that moment, Shia…
○○○○○
“I’m going to eat corn crane fly fritters today!”
-What?
-No, can you just stop this nonsense from the start?
-No, damn it…
-???
-What are you eating?
-You crazy? What is it as soon as you come in?
-Fried fly???
-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-People, fried fly…
-No way LOL what kind of fritter???
In the Genre Hunter Gallery, net runners who were touched by Shia’s broadcast were experiencing a new world unveiled by this crazy saintess who made such ridiculous statements.
The post occupying the forum and the video clips, along with the clips portraying Isia as a saint, were undeniably sacred and beautiful.
Yet those who had been watching the original broadcast now heard, right as they entered a clip filled with normalcy, the absurd words: ‘fried corn crane fly.’
Moreover, the transport drone hovering beside her had an actual massive fryer, ample cooking oil, various batter mixes, and even frying flour and sauces laid out in abundance.
-Damn, how much oil is that?
-It’s a frying factory???
-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-Newbies can’t hold themselves together, can they?
-Get up, you fools! Welcome to nonsense inferno!
-LOL
[Wait, does that person really intend to fry corn crane flies?]
-Please, saints don’t lie!
-Is that true?
-It’s true LOL
Thanks to that, for Shia’s regularly watching audience, nothing was more entertaining than this.
As the new viewers remained dazed, Shia was truly entering the jungle-like dungeon with the thought of finding corn crane flies while gazing at the surroundings.
Corn crane fly.
In foreign countries, it’s also known as Corn Crane Fly, a massive insect monster around 1 meter in size classified as edible.
The reason it’s classified as edible is due to the earliest party that explored this B-rank jungle dungeon getting lost inside and running out of supplies, hunting the most common monster, corn crane fly, which turned out to be an excellent protein source and even became registered as an officially edible monster in the hunter’s compendium.
However, that’s just formal talk.
The name itself, corn crane fly.
It’s literally a giant fly.
What is a fly, you ask?
It belongs to the fly family and resembles a mosquito that has been enlarged to an enormous size.
These insects are commonly seen around walls in summer, convenience stores, or near bright lights alongside other flying insects.
Naturally, just its appearance could cause most people to squirm.
However, unlike its appearance, it belongs to a family that has nothing to do with mosquitoes, does not suck human blood, and doesn’t harm anyone.
Rather, it feeds on plant sap and nectar and helps in pollination, thus classified as a beneficial insect, but…
Because it resembles a mosquito, it faces numerous persecutions.
And that was no different for the monster called corn crane fly.
“Wow! There it is!”
The corn crane flies, as their name suggests, inhabit this B-rank jungle dungeon, form large groups, and live off the jungle dungeon’s corn.
How would it feel to witness an impressive spectacle of thousands of those creatures flying through the sky?
-Uuaahhh
-Damn it, stop it!!
-That’s seriously disgusting LOL
-Stoppppp
-What the heck is that LOL
-I can’t watch this!
“Okay. Here I go!”
[‘KawaiiHorned’ donated 50,000 won!]
ㄴDidn’t you just eat chicken? Can’t you have something normal?
[‘ChickenShopFail’ donated 5,000 won!]
ㄴStreamer, please don’t do anything you want…
[‘SellingLeafFritters’ donated 3,000 won!]
ㄴUh… Seems like we’re already too late for that? Didn’t you eat centipedes before?
“Um, no! I don’t want to! I mean… As SellingLeafFritters said, we are already late! I’m definitely going to eat that!”
-Don’t go there!!!
-Stop!!!
-You fool!
Boom!!!
And just like that, with all her might, Shia’s body boldly dashed toward a corn crane fly soaring gracefully in the air.
Vwoooom!
The corn crane fly, surprised by something suddenly dashing toward it, attempted a sharp turn but was swiftly caught and crushed by Shia’s tentacle.
Even though it was a massive creature about 1 meter long, since it was named a fly, its body didn’t have that much durability, and the corn crane fly perished with just one swing of Shia’s tentacle.
Alright. One down.
-Uaaah, its blood is green! LOL
-For the corn crane fly: What have I done?
-They said it was herbivorous LOL
-The corn crane fly faces undue violence!
“Oh? Oh? They are running away!”
Seeing one of their own taken down, the corn crane flies began to flee.
Whether they have communication abilities or not is unknown, but with this size, they’d likely be intelligent enough to know fleeing is not a good idea.
Without hesitation, Shia quickly landed and, without stopping, pushed through the ground with her legs.
Boom!
Thud!
With every jump she took, one to three corn crane flies were either crushed underfoot or ensnared by her tentacles.
The corn crane flies twisted their bodies in a desperate attempt to escape the tentacles but, no matter how they tried, they were simply too weak.
“That’s not nearly enough, is it?”
[Miracle – Body Revelation]
“Once more!”
[Miracle – Body Revelation]!
Grrrrrrr
Crack, crack!
-Wow, it’s been a while.
-Look at all those tentacles!
-Each time I see this, it seems so soft.
-I’d say it’s totally possible.
-That guy always says it’s possible LOL
“Okay, here we go.”
As Shia invoked the miracle, the bones in her waist twisted, her flesh boiled, and regenerated repeatedly as hundreds of tentacles burst forth from her body all at once.
The spectacle was grotesque yet bizarrely beautiful, and even felt somehow sacred.
While the appearance was certainly unsettling and uncanny, with the host being the beautiful Mangja Seongnyeo Isia, the unbalanced charm would surely appeal to the viewers.
“Now, catch them!”
Schwaaaaaak!
Hundreds of tentacles covered the sky, chasing after the fleeing corn crane flies.
It was as if these tentacles had infinite length, capturing every corner of the sky and hunting down the fleeing corn crane flies.
-Wow…
-Hee-Eung, Tentacle Noona…
-Tentacle Saintess, it’s been a while LOL
-What’s up with this? Didn’t she usually only use 5 tentacles?
-That’s the usual state!
-Each time she invokes a miracle, the number of tentacles grows exponentially!
-So, right now it’s 125 tentacles?
-Maybe?
-Then if she invokes it again, it’ll be 625 tentacles?
-Who knows?
-She’s never pushed it that far before.
Of course, the reason Shia had increased her tentacles this much was solely to capture the numerous corn crane flies, and so the tentacles began to chase and snag the fleeing corn crane flies one after another.
Crunch!
Snap!
Smash!
Alas, it was unavoidable that due to not managing her strength, the pieces of the corn crane flies that had their shapes obliterated fell to the ground.
These fragmented pieces of corn crane flies fell to taint the ground of the jungle, while the 125 tentacles that emerged from Shia’s waist each caught corn crane flies, preparing for a feast.
Of course, some greedy tentacles did sneak a bite out of the corn crane flies without listening to Shia’s commands, but those minor offenses were forgiven.
○○○○
The jungle dungeon was vast.
How vast, you ask? It was at least twice the area of the Kurtala Mountains, where Shia had entered last time.
While there were indeed dangerous monsters within, there were also many that weren’t ranked as threats, similar to the corn crane flies.
Thanks to that, this jungle dungeon was known as a ‘honey dungeon,’ where beginner or low-ranked hunters could harvest enough for their daily bread as long as they were careful.
And today, in order to earn daily sustenance, a hunter entered the jungle they regularly roamed, soon witnessing the giant tentacles blanketing the sky.
“Aaaah! What is that!!!”
Right now, neither the person screaming nor the one controlling those tentacles could have any idea.
That unexpected meeting would unfold in the most unpredictable place.
