Chapter 73

[Title: The Communist Manifesto]

Author: Mark

(A meme of the Adrian flag being lowered)

(A meme of the red flag marked with Head of the Gallery Marketplace being raised)

Fron abolishes the existing noble system.

The newly born Fron shall not rob anyone of the power to acquire products.

Rather, it will strip the power to subjugate others’ labor to oneself.

From today, Fron declares independence from Adrian as a sovereign republic.

Citizens of all nations, join the wave of revolution!

– Season 4232 Adrian Public Deconstruction

– What the hell is going on?

– Fact: Adrian has no power to stop this.

Fact: That is indeed a fact.

– But what is the noble system?

– Isn’t it just being born into noble or common blood?

– What do you mean I’m equal to the nobles??

– (What is this phenomenon? Count)

– It’s a serious brainwashing addiction.

– Ha! Hilarious. Thanks to the Queen’s grace, we have such freedom of thought.

The Duke’s deputy has gone mad!

“No, this is truly insane.”

Fron had been quiet lately.

But it seems they were in the midst of a revolution.

With the surprise declaration that went up at dawn, people naturally gathered together.

Some celebrated the festival like it was a party,

While some seriously agreed with the contents.

“The noble system must eventually be abolished. Equality is right.”

Even I agreed with part of the content.

That was the noble system.

Reality isn’t a random lottery game, and is it reasonable for our status to be assigned by the heavens at birth?

“But why communism of all things?”

However, it was a bit troublesome if such change led to communism.

“I should have banned this right away when I saw it…”

The post occupied the concept section for a full three hours, basking in all the attention.

I missed the golden time.

But I felt wronged as well.

- (An elf count clapping with tears)

- Whoa... justice is alive...

- What the hell is this dislike of 51?

- Probably other beastfolk?

- For real lol, they’re just hiding in fear.

- But it’s frustrating that only the bunnies are getting help from the Head of the Gallery and taking all the attention, haha.

[Title: So Embarrassed...//]

(A gif of someone curled up on a bed)

Head of the Gallery... when will you come?

[Recommended 9999+] [Not Recommended 151]

- This! Is! Crazy!!!

- Dark Bunny... so precious... hehe.

- Uploading adult content while being embarrassed?

- Hmm… is this totally?

- Reminds me of some succubus...

- Healthy God: ㅡㅡ

- (Got you, you little rascal! Count)

- Please post something!!!!

- Do you want to see me die???

- Healthy God: ^^ ㅎ

- Huh? Huh????

It must be because it was the end of the month and late at night.

Many valuable and excellent informative posts were coming up.

As a modern intellectual, it was impossible for me to miss them, given my thirst for knowledge and information.

Thus, while I was stacking up on virtues and knowledge, the surprise declaration post went up.

- Joint efforts and joint distributions? Who would do this? Haha.

- For real, it eventually leads to the brains at the top appearing, and they must have some serious humility, haha.

- It doesn’t make any sense… huh?

- But if you think about it, it does make sense.

- You know the Head of the Gallery right?

- Joint efforts (just gather mana pills)

- Fair distribution (just trade for necessary goods with the Head of the Gallery and distribute fairly)

- (An elf count looking surprised)

- It makes… sense!

The problem was that one by one, they began to be influenced by such thoughts.

And riding on this momentum, the disruption dropped a bomb on the thread.

[Title: Communism Will Fail]

Author: Mark

For the following five reasons.

Sharing wealth kills motivation to work.

Eliminating entrepreneurs stifles innovation.

Removing intellectuals leaves everyone ignorant.

Eradicating religion leads to moral decay.

Trusting people ends in betrayal.

But there is a way to solve all these issues.

The Head of the Gallery.

I see you’re watching.

If you join us, surely we will find a solution.

Be our secretary of the committee, our scribe.

That is the only way for the salvation of this world.

- Drift is truly the Demon Lord.

- Head of the Gallery, please... if you leave, we’re done...

- ZL Storm Magician: Damn it, keep the order!!!

- Why are humans asking to become leaders on their own?

- That’s right, even cold water has its order.

- The Head of the Gallery is going to Elardrien, you know?

- What is this nonsense?

- Head of the Gallery, my brother, this must not happen!

- Remember the long times we spent in Kilgroth together.

Fron was trying to pull me in unilaterally.

Naturally, sparks flew as others watching were suddenly caught on fire.

The result was one.

“Wow, the world’s first dislike 9999 achieved!”

Thanks to that, the comments lit up like a bonfire.

One by one, they began to mention me, and the debate became so heated it was out of control.

In the end, there was only one thing I could do.

- Head of the Gallery*) Why do I…

- Head of the Gallery*) Thank you to everyone who mentioned me. Your bonding will be replaced by a ban.

- Mark) ?

- ???

- No, you guys.

[Ban Target: 512 people]

[Ban Duration: 24 hours]

[Ban Reason: Go drink cold water]

I began to unleash bans everywhere.

[This post cannot be viewed.]

- Aah! The Head of the Gallery is issuing bans!!!

- Get down!!!!!

[This post cannot be viewed.]

[This post cannot be viewed.]

- Help!

- (A frog count wailing)

- Head of the Gallery*) The innocent shall be spared.

I had no intention of becoming a scribe.

After all, it was clear how communism had played out in modern times.

“Secretary? Isn’t that realistically the Head of the Gallery?”

Most of all, the real Head of the Gallery had no intention of doing that.

*

In an instant, hundreds of people vanished from the ban.

And after a day, the banned users were simultaneously released.

- It’s not right to show political colors.

- Speaking of bonding, yes, it is indeed a reason for a ban.

- This is a righteous opinion.

- I agree with this.

- Let’s all maintain a gallery that follows manners and etiquette!

- Damn, these guys are hilarious.

- The Head of the Gallery, with a dance of the sword, restores order, haha.

- Are you coming to your senses? Haha.

The overheated gallery quickly calmed down.

- But rather, because you declined, we must elect you more as the secretary.

- Yeah, an unselfish leader? We should definitely capture that.

Of course, there were still some guys who couldn’t read the atmosphere...

- Head of the Gallery*) You’re going to die.

- I’m sorry.

- Almost said that.

I had a ban card.

Once I normalized the remaining disruptions, the gallery would be slightly back on track.

Of course, it wouldn’t be gone within the gallery, but I doubt the atmosphere in reality would have eased either.

After all, they had just overthrown the noble system and declared communism, right?

“Should I intervene? Or leave it be?”

The outcome of communism had been heard too much in modern times to feel good about.

But soon, I would realize I wouldn’t need to worry about such matters.

A far more pressing issue soon appeared.

[Title: Emergency!!!]

(A gif of being chased by a monster on all fours)

(A dynamic screen shake, a monster closes in)

(A gif of a monster caught in a bear trap)

There are monsters appearing in our village;

But it was a monster I had never seen before.

The peculiar thing was it emanated pure coldness, its legs and arms were about 2 meters long, bald, and crawled on all fours.

I’m the last survivor.

I’ve been running like crazy night and day, but I just barely survived thanks to luck and I’m writing this.

Shit, raise the guard!

I think the rift just burst.

- No, it’s real.

- It looks really horrifying.

- A bald head isn’t even remarkable, damn.

- It’s a noteworthy feature, right? Haha.

- But what if it really burst?

- Oh damn, something that looks similar has been circling near my town too.

- Oh, you too? Our village is the same.

The Rift, warned of by I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire, has burst.

*

The rift that appeared in Fron has erupted.

From beyond the cold threat of the rift, the monsters have started their invasion in earnest.

“Is this really all there is?”

“Yes. I brought what I could see as soon as I saw it...”

The soldier nearby had a perplexed expression at Mark’s question.

They knew the rift would eventually burst.

But the speed at which it happened exceeded expectations.

More importantly, all the steel that the Head of the Gallery had once scattered was nowhere to be found.

“Why is there only this little equipment? We clearly distributed according to quantity by territory.”

“That’s because…”

The knights gathered from various lordships, big and small, did not wear bright faces.

Mark soon realized the reason.

“Did they melt it down into luxury items?”

“…That’s right.”

The steel armor and weapons given out for defending the castle had been melted down into luxurious pieces by the lords who enjoyed it.

They turned their own statues made from steel, various tableware, and ingots into things they kept for themselves.

But he couldn’t blame them.

Since the revolution happened long ago, everyone had become a soul of the afterlife.

“Why now of all times…”

Just finishing the revolution, they hadn’t even properly reorganized yet.

As I clasped my head with both hands and let out a deep sigh, a system notification arrived.

[New items have arrived at the Marketplace!]

New items had come in.

Soon, the knights in the conference hall checked the items and their eyes widened in surprise.

“Count Mark, no, Comrade!”

“Did you see? We survived!”

As one by one voices called out to him in astonishment, Mark opened the marketplace as well.

And upon seeing the items in the marketplace, he realized.

Why the Head of the Gallery had declined to become a secretary.

And why new items appeared in the marketplace now, in the dire crisis of monsters bursting from the rift.

“Is this a test?”

Fron was the place where the class system was most vicious.

In that remote location, how long had nobles and the privileged looted the commoners?

In that background, the Head of the Gallery had posed a question in tandem with their refusal.

“Are we truly fit for communism?”

To prove it directly.

Understanding the underlying meaning, Mark soon removed his disappointed expression and bought the new items.

[‘M2 Flamethrower’ will be delivered shortly!]

“Then I shall prove it.”

A weapon that suits the red flag of Fron.

A weapon representing the red color, like the cover color of the Imperialism Theory, which had been used since World War I.
