It all started as a joke.
“I want to be a head mod.”
There wasn't any particular reason.
Just like all the meaningless galleries overflowing in the community, I simply wanted to be the head mod of one.
That day, I suddenly found myself coveting the position and power of a head mod who had to delete gore pictures and tactical nukes for free.
[Would you like to be appointed administrator of the Otherworld Destruction Gallery?]
An unfamiliar message appeared on the site's main page.
“Destruction? Well... honestly, anything is fine.”
With nothing better to do, I drifted around the gallery, then clicked the acceptance prompt out of curiosity.
[Yes.]
And just like that, I became the head mod of the Otherworld Destruction Gallery.

-Head Mod, I'm hungry ㅠㅠ

-Sell me 32 packs of Buldak Bibim Noodles.
-Anyone want to trade 500 ml of bottled water for 250 ml of cola?
Title: Is today's food up yet?
Head mod, please put out some canned tuna...
I haven't eaten in three days...
At this rate, I think I'm really going to die...
ㄴ? What are you talking about? The head mod puts out canned tuna every day.
ㄴ (OP) Huh? For real?
ㄴ (Photo of a can of vegetable tuna listed on the marketplace) There it is.
ㄴ (OP) That's disgusting vegetable tuna. I only eat chili tuna, yeah.
ㄴ LOL, then just starve to death.
Title: Head Mod, are you awake?
(some roughly framed cleavage compilation pic shot from above)
I haven't been able to eat for days, so I'm hungry ㅠㅅㅠ
I'm just waiting for the head mod...
ㄴ Wakya-pa~
ㄴ (roughly, an elf emoticon giving a thumbs-up)
ㄴ Hmm. May I compliment you?
ㄴ Do you have a lot of canned tuna?
ㄴ Nope, I don't even have anything to eat today.
ㄴ If you don't have any, open Notepad or something.
ㄴ (OP) I didn't post this so you guys could look at itㅇㅗㅇ
“Oh, right. I need to hand out food.”
Whether in my previous life or in this destroyed otherworld, the start of my day was much the same.
Logging onto the gallery and killing meaningless time.
Having just woken up in an underground bunker after evading magical beasts, I fidgeted for a while before opening the shop window.

Thump!
As soon as I bought the goods, a mountain of food filled the cramped bunker.
“I always wonder: how does it get here?”
Putting it out in the gallery was simple.
[Would you like to list it on the head mod's marketplace?]
It was a gallery feature: listing items on the marketplace.
Without a second thought, I pressed Yes, and the countless food items in front of me vanished.
[Items listed!]
[All quantities sold out.]
To my surprise, everything sold out in just two seconds.
Since every regular on the gallery had been waiting for this with bated breath, the sellout was incredibly fast.
Even though I gave away food regularly every day, I still couldn't help being surprised.
Naturally, the moment I switched from the sales tab to the gallery tab, new posts flooded in.
-LOL, buying ten cans of chili tuna was such a steal
-Any suckers here who couldn't buy canned tuna?
-Ah!!! Fuck!!! I want to fucking kill this lag, fuck!!!!
-For sale) One can of tuna for 50 mana dumplings
“Ah, I'm going to have to ban this guy.”
Once I banned all the scalpers hiding among them and selling the same goods for several times the price, my morning routine ended along with the income I'd earned.
[You obtained 2,000 mana dumplings.]
Mana dumplings—the currency of this otherworld.
“Whoa, how much is all this?”
At roughly 1,000 won each by Earth's standards, 2,000 of them amounted to a whopping 2 million won!
It was undeniably an enormous profit for something I'd bought with points earned after just a few clicks.
Title: Head Mod
(some random photo of light)
Upvote if you agree. I'll start, lol.
ㄴ Upvote.
ㄴ The head mod is definitely legit.
ㄴ Damn, I saw the head mod again. I have no choice but to worship...
“Even if the world ends, everyone's still having fun.”
I chuckled as the gallery was quickly plastered with posts praising me.
Then, it suddenly hit me.
“This really is another world.”
This gallery wasn't inhabited by humans alone.
Elves, dwarves, and beastfolk were there too, and outside there were zombie-like monsters classified as magical beasts.
This wasn't the Earth I knew.
It was another world—one that had been completely destroyed by all sorts of apocalypses.
And I had become the head mod of that destroyed otherworld.
