Spiritus was the final stage of edible alcohol.
Of course, it wasn’t meant to be consumed straight; it was more accurate to consider it an ingredient.
“In my previous life, the most I usually had was a few sips as part of a challenge.”
No one would be crazy enough to drink this.
Right, no one would.

– Whoa, it smells like alcohol from the post.
– Are you saying they actually drank that Spiritus stuff?
– The Head of the Gallery is also me.
Nile) It’s also you and me.
Nile is a dwarf.
What kind of conversation is this?
Hey, you guys need to get a grip!
You all have completely lost your minds!
Concept Post) How to drink Spiritus.
Author) Dwarf Gourmet.
Hold the Spiritus bottle.
And drink it.
Eventually, you’ll hit a point where your insides start warming up.
If not, pour yourself another bottle.
When you feel it coming on, stop and neutralize your insides with some homemade liquor.
Finally, eat a piece of fruit, and if you fall asleep, you can guarantee the best sleep!

– Oh! This is the best method!
Is the author a dwarf sage or something?
This is truly revolutionary! The best taste!!
Insomnia vanished like a lie. There isn’t a better sleeping aid in this world!
– Cemetery speedrun, whoa!
This seems like the fastest way to die in this world!
– Why the hell are you drinking homemade liquor to cure a hangover?
Isn’t homemade liquor around 30 degrees?
Do these guys have like four livers or something?
Do you need a detox function for water?
?
??
Before you get angry, clear your hooks!
!
!!
Oh crap!!!!!
– Just add “only dwarfs” to the title!!!!
– Loser, lol!
– I don’t even need to ask why, lol!
– Are you actually following this? Haha!
– Hey, what’s this?
Dwarfs were different.
Dwarfs were a race crazy about alcohol.
– Spiritus, this is my soul!
– The sensation of my insides burning, so blissful!
– Downing a drink and lying down in bed is truly my natural sleeping remedy!
According to the Healthy God, 96-degree Spiritus became the dwarf’s sleeping aid.

Truth be told, I was very hungry.
Alcohol alone can’t be the staple food after all.
So I was wondering if I should post a joke like before…
(One-shot of Spiritus)
Spiritus, the pinnacle of desire!
This could truly become the ultimate staple food!
I love you, Head of the Gallery!
- The Head of the Gallery☆) You tricked me!!!
- The Head of the Gallery☆) You should thank me! You love me!
Nile) ^^;
Also, on the side, help out with the drying machine shares.
Anyway, dwarfs never really obsessed over alcohol levels this much before.
Rather, they valued the taste and color perception of alcohol and would reject it if it's simply high in alcohol content.
"You can tell just by looking through old posts."
Back when the Gallery didn’t yet carry the label of destruction.
6 years ago) Just because it's high in alcohol content doesn’t mean it's good!
(Picture of stacked alcohol bottles by alcohol content in storage)
Humans think that just because it's high in alcohol, it must be good.
That shouldn't be the case.
The taste and aroma of the alcohol are what really matters.
Dwarfs' pride in alcohol is meaningless.
- When did dwarfs start saying the right things?
- Seriously, I don’t get why they blindly like high alcohol content;
I mean, 30 degrees is like disinfectant; is that even alcohol?
Author) Can't you handle 30 degrees?
?
Author) Drunkard!
??
But the Great War changed the dwarfs.
The intense longing for alcohol remained like a deficiency.
Their bodies had become accustomed to a higher alcohol content leading to higher satisfaction.
The problem was other races who got curious and meddled.
Title: Gyaaaaak!!!
(Picture of dipping a tongue into Spiritus)
(Picture of someone collapsed on the floor, groaning in pain)
Don’t drink it!
Don’t let other races buy and drink it!!!
- Lol, a drunken fool!
Author) Alcohol idiot!
I drank it and felt perfectly fine!
Author) ?? How did you do that?
Lol, I couldn’t taste anything; I just couldn't see well, haha.
Author) Oh, were my taste buds broken?
It seems more than just taste buds are broken…

T-this isn’t dew...
It hurts, it hurts, ow, ow…
- Lmao, I'll ruin your taste buds~
You pretended to drink well!
Right? Haha, you got caught!
But isn't that really not alcohol?
Who drinks that as alcohol?
- Hmm... a bit…
?
Numerous posts started erupting as if observing a disaster site.
It was basic to faint while writing reviews, and there were a few posts with broken brains, drinking it like water.
But those who quickly adapted to change eventually found the answer.
Title: Haha, there was another way to use it.
Author: Adrian's Advisor
(Picture of forcibly feeding Spiritus)
(Picture of a betrayer shedding tears while confessing)
Is this how I’m supposed to use it? Yup!
- Gyaaaaak!
No blood or tears left!
Just looking at it makes me feel like I’m gonna puke!
- El-kyu yaaaaaak!
You cruel bastards!!
Don’t you have a shred of mercy?
- Dr-kya yaack!
Are dwarfs afraid of torture too?
That precious Spiritus!!!
These foolish humans! Pour it into my mouth immediately!!!!
???
Title: Spiritus is a truly famous weapon.
(Picture of throwing burning Spiritus)
(Picture of monsters writhing in pain from the scent of Spiritus near their habitat)
Seems to be a hard counter against monsters.
When I sprinkled it in the fields, not only wild animals but even monsters were scared off, haha.
But there is a downside too.
- Oh.
Was this the answer?
- There’s nothing but advantages; what’s the downside?
Human scum!!! Daring to touch the water of my soul!!!
Ah, this was the downside, lol.
Downside: Commit to dwarfs.
Are we already losing our souls? Haha.
Ah, lol, Spiritus, very clever!
“Well, as long as everyone uses it well,”
While the Gallery was going wild, I was also enjoying the flood of posts coming up.
- So does the Head of the Gallery drink this?
Of course, it'd be natural for the seller to have tried it, right?
- The Head of the Gallery☆: Why would I drink this? Haha.
?
This kind of post sometimes got answers while I stuffed Mana Pills into my mouth.
Mana Pills, gallery work, Mana Pills, gallery work.
Maintaining this repetitive daily routine, I finally saw the long-awaited phrase appear before my eyes.
[The Gallery Level has increased!]
[New features will be added to the Head of the Gallery's Marketplace!]
It was finally level up.
*
The initial level up was truly easy.
However, the problem was what came next.
"When the heck do I level up?"
To reach the next level, I’d have to consume dozens of times more.
Just as I was starting to get tired, the phrase appeared.
[Do you want to check out the new features of the Head of the Gallery's Marketplace?]
What’s there to ask?
"Of course, just hit me with it, dammit!"
[The selling function has been upgraded.]
[The free trading post - Barter exchange is possible without the involvement of the Head of the Gallery.]
“Oh?”
The new feature was trading.
In the beginning, I had to be involved somewhere on the buyer or seller's side, but that had changed to allow for free trade.
And that wasn’t all.
[You must pay a fee of 5% for trades.]
[All fees will be revenue for the Head of the Gallery.]
All the fees turning into mine.
In other words, I was stepping into a whole new level of growth compared to before.
I had blocked any possibility of losses for myself with this feature.
"Honestly, handling barter alone was tough."
The number of barter requests had already surpassed 99999+.
It was practically just checking in occasionally to see what was available, but it worked out well.
[Would you like to activate the new feature?]
In response to such an obvious question, I quickly pressed the yes button.
Immediately, an alert for the opening of the new feature, filled with immense interest!
[The Head of the Gallery's Marketplace has been upgraded.]
[Free trading is now available.]
[The remodeling of the Marketplace will take… 7 days 00 hours 00 minutes.]
It didn’t appear.
- Head of the Gallery, suddenly, access to the Marketplace has been blocked?
- What the hell is going on!!!!
- I can’t breathe, kek kek.
- ㅠ ㅅ ㅠ Head of the Gallery, brother?
- Head of the Gallery, you're not abandoning us, right? Please tell me!
- This is a joke, right? Please!
- It’s the end. The end of the Gallery is near!!!
Rather, it was the sudden disaster that prompted the Gallery to stir.
*
- Proof that the Head of the Gallery abandoned us... jpg
- It’s all Healthy God’s fault for not posting.
- The Head of the Gallery: I’m giving up on this filthy Gallery.
- Selling Tuna Can 534 for Mana Pills.
- Buying 5 bottles of 500ml water.
The Gallery was truly a lawless zone.
Posts mixed with all sorts of incitement and fabrication, trembling as they thought I abandoned the Gallery.
Not even taking a 55-times markup on Marketplace supplies had begun to surface.
I posted a mediation post before things got more chaotic.
Title: It’s me.
Author: Head of the Gallery☆
(Picture of a tamer calming monsters)
Everybody, calm down, calm down.
This wasn’t what I intended.
The Gallery’s function increased, but it turns out they needed to remodel the Marketplace to apply it.
With just one week left from this moment, so don’t worry, okay?
Upvotes 999+, Downvotes 999.
- How can you survive a week, you idiot!!!
Calm down? Calm down? Calm... calm down?
My brain feels broken!
- I should have bought things earlier; I’m just unlucky!
- (Frog-con with a noose around its neck)
- (Cat-con shouting "It was good~!")
- Yup, I stocked up on 100 spicy ramen!
- Yup, I’m so damn jealous, you scumbag!
- Yup, fuck, I’m so damn jealous!
- But how can we trust what you say?
- I mean, how could we know you didn’t stop intentionally?
- For real, prove it!
- Head of the Gallery☆: Why should I?
???
- Head of the Gallery☆: It’s my feature, so it’s my choice.
- Head of the Gallery☆: Or should I really just shut it down?
- I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.
- Please, not the chicken! Please, not the chicken!
- Head of the Gallery, yay~! Head of the Gallery~~! Head of the Gallery, hooray~!
“I thought it would just happen like before.”
I never thought it would take this long.
Of course, for me, it didn't matter as I could use the shop, but the Gallery was pure chaos.
And this atmosphere only deepened with each passing day.
Title: Just wait one more day until the Marketplace will open!
(Already shattered ceramic picture)
Because from now on, every 24 hours we wait,
I’m going to smash my head really hard, turning my brain into a mess!
If I can’t remember I waited,
Didn’t I just not wait at all?
So, if I erase my memory before the Marketplace opens,
Wouldn't the Marketplace open in a day???
Just wait one night, and the Marketplace will open!
Just thinking about it makes me so... so... yikes, eek, ack!
- What’s wrong with this guy?
Is he already out of his mind?
- It's like he smashed his head and now thinks he’s back again.
- (Picture of completely shattered head)
- Hahaha!
An eternity that felt like it wouldn't end for a week.
However, time flows inexorably.
On the day when dozens of Gallery Enthusiasts had their heads smashed seven times, the long-awaited Marketplace opened.
Dwarf Blacksmiths got the first sale.
[Sale Item: Weapon Enhancement]
I am a Dwarf Weapon Artisan.
If you entrust me with your weapons, I will enhance them as much as you desire!
Attention: Your weapons may be destroyed!
But nobody knew.
That this incident would lead to an even more chaotic Gallery than now.
