Witches are harmful.

Once prejudice takes root, it doesn’t easily fade away.

No matter how much the Head of the Gallery gave, that prejudice remains unwashed.

“No matter how much it’s the Head of the Gallery…”

“Is that a witch’s potion? It must be cursed or something.”

If it’s a witch, the first thing you do is kill her.

The witch trials may have disappeared overnight after the Head of the Gallery mediated, but that long-standing period isn’t just gone.

Above all, the anesthetic played a part.

– Bringing the dead back to life, huh?

– Isn’t that defying natural order…?

– Hmm… I don’t really get it.

The Gallery also had divided opinions.

A body descends from heaven, losing all control, seemingly dead.

Then suddenly awakens as if resurrecting.

Skeptics arose, questioning if a curse was being implanted in the soul,

– So it’s reasonable that rifts are appearing?

– Yeah~ I mean, I’m going to die laughing with both my legs cut off and mocking around here~

– Please, let’s boycott; I’ll buy everything!

– But you guys will still buy it when it hits the marketplace, right? ㅋㅋ

– Totally downvoted, lol.

– You guys are choosing not to buy?

– (This is a high-rated joke by commoners.)

Does that even matter? We were split.

“From the start, there was no concept of recovery here.”

If you go back just a few months, humans were pouring milk on their wounds.

It’s only natural that all eyes are on the medical upheaval.

Now, all that remained was to prove it.

Right then, Gallum, the boy, was standing tall and proud, intact.

I just had to prove that.

– zl Storm Magician) Oh, damn.

– Why?

– zl Storm Magician) The kid isn’t breathing, lol.

– Huh?????

– What?

– (An elf pottery Kon, holding its head.)

“Uh.”

And before I could finish my thought, a crisis struck.

*

The boy looked like he might stop breathing any second.

But then he truly stopped breathing.

– What the hell?

– Wasn’t he supposed to be coming back?

– (Ah… Oh… Kon)

“Ah, shit, I jinxed it.”

I needlessly built up proof, and now the boy was in a life-threatening situation.

But there was no need for worry.

The confused ZL Storm Magician hastily placed both hands on the boy.

It was that moment.

(Animated gif of starting to breathe again.)

Surprisingly, he started breathing again.

It turns out, the general anesthesia had temporarily suppressed his breathing.

“Of course it would be like that if he’s dying.”

Even someone intact could be the same once they were under full anesthesia.

So I went off in pursuit of an anesthetic and put out a notice searching for capable magicians.

Not just any attack-type magician focusing on raw damage, but one with various kinds of knowledge.

Like that ZL Storm Magician from the Colorful Magic Tower.

– zl Storm Magician: For now, I’m pumping in air as instructed.

– zl Storm Magician: Is this really going to work?

– Head of the Gallery*: Yes, you’re the most important one right now.

He was practically acting as a human respirator.

Once I ensured the respirator was working correctly, I immediately moved to the next phase.

I started pouring the large quantities of healing potions prepared onto the boy’s body.

Of course, low-grade potions wouldn’t be of much use…

“If healing isn’t working, maybe we just need more potions.”

I doused him in potions.

And like a lie, the wounds that had made his body a mess began to heal.

(Animated gif of skin quickly sealing.)

(Animated gif of a severed leg regenerating.)

– It feels like witnessing a miracle.

– This is so freaking amazing.

– It’s like watching the creation of a human.

– Try talking to him.

– We need to check if he’s the same person as he was before.

– What the hell? ㅋㅋ

– Why the sudden cursing?

– I was just trying to check if you’re the same person as before, lol.

“This, I can’t even deny is amazing.”

Like rewinding a video, the torn and severed skin began to return.

It’s as if he was being reborn.

Hours later.

“Uh, ugh…?”

The boy slowly opened his eyes and began to look around, as if nothing ever happened.

– Wow, legendary.

– What did I just witness?

– Damn, is it you again, Head of the Gallery? I will never doubt you again…

– All the skeptics have the gifs ready, lol.

“It’s a good thing that magician had human respiratory functions.”

Had there not been such magic, he might have been helplessly dead.

Feeling relieved and thankful, I first went to find ZL Storm Magician.

After all, he was the first magician to jump in and offer his help.

“Wasn’t it this guy who made my statue as well?”

Of course, erecting a half-elf beauty statue and placing it at the entrance of the tower was a bit embarrassing.

But it was a good thing nonetheless.

– Head of the Gallery*: Thanks to you, we saved him. Nice.

– zl Storm Magician: No, no, it was all you, haha.

– Head of the Gallery*: So, that said, I can grant you a request or two.

Thus, I intended to give back.

“Well, if you rummage through the marketplace, you can find everything.”

Excluding witches, there is no field of study that requires as many ingredients as magic.

So as soon as I said I would reward him, ZL Storm Magician’s reply came back.

– zl Storm Magician: Seriously???

– Head of the Gallery*: Yes, just don’t go overboard, okay?

– “I heard you were researching golems recently, so I can fetch you stones and whatever.”

There are even stones for sale in the marketplace.

Countless stones, perfectly shaped and sized, flooded the place.

So I thought I’d oblige him with whatever seemed decent and asked.

– zl Storm Magician: Then please give me a position as the Tower’s owner!!!

And just like that, he made an absurd request.

*

I took on the role of the Head of the Gallery and gained the ability to manage it.

Is that why? People seemed to think of me as something magnificent that creates something out of nothing.

“I’m just an ordinary person who knows nothing about mana.”

Before possessing this body, I was a total legend spending my days in front of a computer.

And after possession, I became a legend spending my days gazing around in bed.

“I’ve got a sense of presence, though?”

You could say it positively, or negatively, it could imply I made a big fuss.

So how can I, of all people, call myself a great magician?

– Head of the Gallery*: I wish I could use something like fireball, damn.

If that were true, I would immediately snap a few pics and feast on them.

But regrettably, I didn’t have such abilities.

– zl Storm Magician: You’re going too far with the jokes, lol.

– Head of the Gallery*: Damn.

– Head of the Gallery*: Ask for something else other than a position.

Like, maybe a Mana Stone, or something I couldn’t buy during limited sales, like appliances.

But the affectionate konik ZL Storm Magician wanted only one thing.

– zl Storm Magician: Then please become my master!

– Head of the Gallery*: How about something else?

– zl Storm Magician: Then please enlighten me with the truths of this world!

“Is this guy serious?”

– Head of the Gallery*: I told you I’m not a magician! I have no mana at all!

– zl Storm Magician: ㅎㅎ

It was impossible to get through to him.

Even if he asked me for magical enlightenment, I obviously couldn’t provide something I didn’t possess.

How could I give something that doesn’t exist?

– zl Storm Magician: The time hasn’t come yet.

– zl Storm Magician: If it’s goods from you, I’ll gladly accept anything!

“Well, that won’t be a way to grant him ownership of the tower.”

Ultimately, it was settled that I would go out and look for a gift to give.

The problem was figuring out what to give.

Plus, time passed, and soon it was nearing the evening marketplace opening.

– If we just wait an hour, the marketplace will open!

– Honestly, the real marketplace never gets old no matter how many times you wait, lol.

– I’ll let you know the new products.

– People flocking in to wait an hour in advance, just like Pavlov’s dogs with the Head of the Gallery, www.

“Ah, I haven’t prepared any new products.”

The problem was that not only hadn’t I prepared new products, but I hadn’t even filled existing ones.

What’s more, considering the different demands based on race, people, and personality, it wasn’t easy to decide on items either.

– Are you going to put spicy tuna this time?

– You’re joking, right? This time it’s Vegetable Tuna Can, cool down ㅇㅇ.

– Are you seriously saying Vegetable Tuna? Are you an elf?

– (Elf thumbs up Kon.)

– Of course, that guy is the Elf King.

– Isn’t the Elf King a total waste?

– Do you guys want to perish? Just because I upload Elf thumbs up Kon does not mean it’s all elves?

“Ah, this is bothersome.”

No matter how well-structured, it was only natural for complaints to arise.

Plus, although the marketplace was cheap, no one could arbitrarily buy appliances like that.

– Damn… even though there were leftovers, I can’t buy anything…

– Seriously, the refrigerator is the only thing I don’t have!

– I want so many things, but I just can’t buy anything, damn.

– But honestly, I should be grateful that I’m not starving.

– For real, this is the fickleness of the human heart.

– Wow, even after giving food and everything, you’re still whining, damn, lol.

Poverty is inherently relative.

Though I managed to avoid starvation, it was understandable to feel regret having to only watch the modern items streaming out of the marketplace.

Although the general sentiment was scolding them for being full, my thoughts differed.

“That could happen.”

I would want to buy something too.

But I thought if I couldn’t buy it no matter how hard I tried, I would feel more loss than motivation.

However, it wouldn’t do to give everything for free.

“Hmm, could it be that?”

I came up with one answer.

A method to raise participation and expectations.

Though I have no intention of doing it, it would be a super scamming sales tactic that’s easy to manipulate the odds and highly profitable!

[New feature added to the marketplace!]

[Random Box / Gacha]

“Now, let’s go!”

It was a random gacha lottery.

*

[Title: ㅋㅋㅋ Did the refrigerator show up?]

(A frog Kon smiling uncomfortably.)

I caught someone trying to come in to throw a fit out of jealousy, lol.

Yep, I can’t buy it either~

I’ll never be able to buy it either~

What kind of refrigerator do we have? Let’s gather up some tuna cans before the stock runs out, lol.

[Recommended 5123] [Not Recommended 102]

– Ah ㅋㅋ…

– Where do you live?

– Someday, you’ll get to buy something, right?

– Wake up, Gallum…

– Just lower the price for real, damn, I want to buy something and try it out ㅇㅇ?

– Wow, there’s this kind of person?

– Have you ever seen a thief’s mindset like this?

– The Head of the Gallery’s greatest achievement: saving even the ones on the brink of death.

– The Head of the Gallery’s greatest mistake: saving guys like these.

Two festivals occur daily.

One in the morning when the marketplace opens.

The second during the evening marketplace opening.

Every time, the topics that emerge are about jealousy over expensive items and bragging.

[Title: ㅋㅋ Just bought a ton of new shampoo!]

(An elf image sitting on a tree.)

I am an elf from Elardrien.

[Recommended 102] [Not Recommended 1423]

– Of course, bragging is an elf’s specialty.

– Elves are such shitheads.

– I’m going to bite your ears off!

– No one could ever mistake that for an elf’s way of speaking, how can you be a spy?

Every time, the only option was to feel jealousy and envy.

No matter how well-off I got, there are things common folk like us cannot buy in a lifetime.

But then a new feature was added to the marketplace.

[Ice Water Refrigerator Lottery] new!

1 draw: 10 coins

10 consecutive draws: 90 coins

– Huh, what is this?

– New fridge lottery ← what’s this about?

– Is this a full buy-in plan?

A lottery proudly marked at the top of the category.

Naturally, Gallery folks began to focus their attention, and one Gallum decided to start a draw.

[‘Life-Reversal-in-One-Go’ attempts a 10-draw!]

– Oh?

– Wow, putting down 90 coins all at once.

– I’m so curious about what might come out.

– I’ll hold on and see if I’ll go for it too.

The lottery begins before thousands of spectators.

And true to lottery form, the results began terribly.

– Failure!

– Failure!

– 1 Tuna Can.

– Failure!

– 1 Box of Cola355.

.

.

– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s a total flop, lol.

– As long as it’s not me~~~~

– (Elf Ya-ho~ Kon.)

– By sacrificing myself for the dopamine…

At that moment everyone laughed.

[Congratulations!]

[‘Life-Reversal-in-One-Go’ won an Ice Water Refrigerator!]

[Remaining stock 9.]

– Huh?

– No way, what the hell!

– This is unfair; what a f*ing scam!!!

– Admin! Admin! This bastard is cheating!!

The fanfare bursting in the ears of every Gallery member.

And at that moment, a refrigerator that could really not be bought even with money was really given to a winner.

– Life-Reversal-in-One-Go: Yippee!

– Ho!!!!!

– U!!!!!

– One, two, three, four, five…

– Sax!!!!!

Thus, the affectionate konik, Life-Reversal-in-One-Go’s ruckus for the big gallery lottery officially began.
