Chapter 113: So Many Trolls!

  Jack escaped the dungeon as he escaped the game: as tired as satisfied. After his little stunt, the players had looked at him like Moon Moon did a piece of meat: very hungrily!

  He quickly went around the small apartment on auto-pilot as if a character from a SIMulation game.

  – Eat

  – Drink

  – Take a huge dump

  – Sleep for a little bit

  – Didn't drown in a pool (Too broke)

  He finally awoke, approximately ten phone notifications later and incredibly groggy.

  – Cutest Sister ??( ^?^)??: Bro, you're blowing up! There are so many threads all over social media about you! Take a look!

  – Cutest Sister ??( ^?^)??: This is great news! Also, I found your video on MeTube. Are you working with that streamer? Maybe I could help?

  – Cutest Sister ??( ^?^)??: OMG! Their reaction is priceless! This is what the fools get for slandering my brother, a prompt face-slap!

  – Cutest Sister ??( ^?^)??: Tch—I've been busted. The Teacher is taking my phone away. Talk later! o/

  She seemed so damn excited about the situation. Still, he'd have to chastise her about the cellphone at school. She should know better than to get caught.

  But now, his curiosity was piqued.

  "Let's see what people are writing about me. It has to be about my handsome features since I barely changed my appearance, right?" He chuckled to himself.

  Someone actually had an inkling of how he did it? Did this mean that they had entered the chicken dungeon?

  – Smart Cookie: Here is how he did it all. One word: exploit! The Demon King is a goddamn exploiter, one who's probably going to get banned soon. That's the only explanation.

  – HorseMilk: How does that even make sense? Didn't he already do a bunch of crazy stuff before? There's an entire village saying that he's legit!

  – NailClipper: So what if an entire village does it?! NASA keeps saying they sent people on the moon, yet we all know that it's fake!

  – FurryLover: C'mon, guys. Why are you even arguing here? Just go watch that one highlight he has online.

  – LittleSaltyFish: Fucking Furry!

  – GimmeThatCheese: Fucking Furry!

  – PinkWetAnemone: Fucking Furry! Also, got a link for that video?

  – KillerBroom: That video is edited AF. It's more fake than a pornstar's tits.

  – JoeyBiden: Both are really nice to look at, fake or not. Plus, it's not like we actually know the truth.

  – DinoWithStubbyD: Sauce?

  – AngelForRent: Sauce?!

  Jack could only sigh. As usual, it was quickly devolving into one huge mess. But really, an exploiter? Did he really seem like that kind of guy?!

  No fucking way! If he knew how, he would never have waited until now to exploit, duh! He quickly skimmed the other threads.

  "Haters. Fans. Some more haters. Dude looking for my OnlyFa—, seriously?!" He choked.

  He couldn't believe how crazy they all seemed. At least they were having fun. Hell, the funniest was perhaps the one calling him vile.

  There was an extremely long post about how evil and morally corrupt he was. It was a goddamn novel, so long that probably no one had bothered to read it. But then the comments looked like this:

  – Spitfire: Oh no! Anyway…


  – IShitCActus: Cool story bro

  – ButterflyOnIce: Too long, didn't read.

  – BirdsBeFly: Demon King = Bad?! Really?! #Revelation

  – SpyForHire: Demon King is corrupt? No shit, sherlock!

  – Rabbit373: It took 3 hours of walking for my dad to go to school when he was young. It was long, painful, and torturous. But, it at least served a purpose— unlike this post.

  Then came the author's ramblings that seemed crazy, only to be buried by more of such messages. It wasn't even that people wanted to defend him; the haters were just too easy to bait.

  They tried using logic to explain how people should not believe in him or his lies, but they failed to realize a few points:

  1. Logic? On the Internet?

  2. Most people didn't care that much.

  3. Some people just wanted to see the world burn.

  Thanks to these crazy netizens, "The Professor" soon came under attack. So many had claimed Jack to be a fraud, but he was the most famous analyst of them all.

  As the saying goes: the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Heck, there were already calls to cancel him as many trolls joined the fray.

  #Cancel The Professor

  #The Professor doesn't know shit.

  # The Professor versus Jack'O! Let's get them in a ring!

  In a ring? No one knew his exact appearance. How were they supposed to sell any tickets? This sure was preposterous.

  Either way, this was enough Internet for a day. He closed his phone, for he knew he could easily get sucked into their pace and utterly waste his time otherwise.

  "Now that I'm all rested, time to put these new OP rewards to good use," Jack whispered to himself as he went back into the game.

  Needless to say, as soon as he appeared, he was welcomed by….not them again?!

  All around him were many members of D.L. wearing long black cloth robes. On the ground, there was a reversed pentagram drawn seemingly in blood. To complete the picture was a headless chicken with blood flowing all over.

  Jack couldn't help but sigh:

  "Look, guys. I'm really not that kind of Demon King. I'm not from Hell. I cleared the Hellish difficulty. See the difference?" He explained.

  They stared at him in shock before erupting in thundering shouts of happiness.

  "The Demon King is back!"

  "Our summoning ritual was a success!"

  "I told you guys! We were just missing the sacrifice!"

  Alright, they were a lost cause for sure. Jack left while facepalming. Who knew what disaster they would unknowingly bring this world one day. Whatever, it wasn't his problem.

  Instead, he rushed toward the training instructor.

  "Yo, Igor! I need to train for a bit. I got a nice catalyst" He waved at the man, who frowned.

  "Why is it that every time I see you, you're here to ask me something?"

  "Eh…coincidence?"

  "Ah, whatever. Follow me." The man grumbled, and then they were on their way to his house.

  "They" meant Jack, Moon Moon, Igor, and all the fucking players! Why were they even bothering to come along? They wouldn't be able to enter the man's house anyway.

  It wasn't like there would be a show to see. Then again, he was going to use a pretty rare catalyst…
