Breathing Life into Real Dolls

1.

Writing the post did not take long.

Since I had already explained once at the survivor representative meeting during the day, all I had to do was repeat those explanations in writing, so the content was well organized in my mind.

However, I added more detailed descriptions about the inside of the rift.

Once inside, the body would become red as if fused into the rift. Still, other than a feeling that one’s mind was becoming slightly unstable, I couldn’t find any differences.

Based on a D-class rift, 10 mutant zombies had attacked.

If you killed the core that looked like a vine with many blood vessels sprouting out, the rift was sealed, and you returned to where you originally entered.

I wrote as meticulously as possible so that those who read this information would not be too startled and could respond even if they entered the rift for the first time.

“So that those who challenge to seal the rift can be helped.”

“Hmm…”

However, after writing the post, I noticed that the attached photo of the rift looked too playful compared to the very serious content.

A photo of Serena and Ciel, who were smiling and making a “V” sign next to the rift…

Wouldn’t people struggling to survive in a zombie apocalypse feel aggravated if they saw this?

Thinking that this post might appear deceptive, I replaced the photo with one that only showed the rift I had initially taken.

…Now it was perfect.

Post.

The title of the post I registered was like this:

[Rank 1 Kim Doha. I will share the information I know. (Rift photo attached)]

And the first comment was this:

-Stop fishing, you bastards. If you’re Kim Doha, then I’m Kim Doha’s father.

And a minute later, there were tons of replies:

└ The post is really something, lol. If it’s a fabrication, it’s well done.

└ What? It seems plausible, though? Is it not real?

└ There’s a rift photo, too. This is a first.

└ Isn’t it graphic synthesis? Damn, there are too many baits; you should be trustworthy.

As expected, they wouldn’t trust it just with the rift photo.

That was why I wanted to upload a picture taken with Serena and Ciel, but I decided not to post it, so…

What could be a way to authenticate that I was Kim Doha?

I thought hard but couldn’t come up with anything.

It would be best if I could take a picture of the status window and upload it, but the system doesn’t get captured by the camera.

“Hmm…”

Ah.

I remembered what the person who was ranked 2nd said in their post, that I could change the name in the ranking window.

“Ranking.”

Ding-!

The Contribution Ranking window appeared before my eyes.

Unlike when I first saw it during the day, names were already filled up to the 100th place.

It meant that more than 100 people in South Korea had contributed to killing mutant zombies in just half a day.

When I touched the part where my name was, I saw that I could definitely change it.

I wrote a reply to the first comment:

└ I am the real Kim Doha. I will change the name of the 1st place to ‘Real Kim Doha,’ so please check.

As soon as I left the comment, I changed the name in the ranking window.

From Kim Doha to Real Kim Doha…

And after a brief wait, explosive replies began to pour in.

└What?

└Crazy lol

└Why is it real? lol

└So, is everything in this post real?

└You just spill all the information for free. Kim Doha, may you be blessed…

└Are you really Kim Doha? Ah, lol Hello, Kim Doha’s father lol.

The person who posted the first comment also left a reply:

└Wow, it really is you. I apologize, hyung… Today, more than 100 bastards pretending to be someone else haven’t stopped lying.

As soon as it was revealed that my post was genuine, the recommendation count quickly went up.

In an instant, it passed 100, and as it was registered in real-time popular posts, comments began to be posted at an incredible speed.

-Real Rank 1 is posting, lol

-The current Rank 1 nickname ‘Real Kim Doha’ lmao

-Wow, what’s your special ability rank? I’m super curious, for real…

└Seriously… Tell us your overall ability rank, please.

However, most of the comments were drawn to the fact that I was ‘Rank 1,’ and there were no reactions to the content yet.

As I had tried to write meticulously without leaving anything out, the post was quite long, and it might take some time to read it all.

-But is it just because you’re Rank 1? The post is super long. 3-line summary, anyone?

└Seriously, lol It’s even hard to read because it’s like a brick wall lol.

└Someone, summarize it, please haha

└Do these bastards have no conscience? Just read it yourselves, lol

For a few minutes, only such meaningless comments were posted.

As I covered Baek Seona with a blanket and waited; finally, those who had read the content began to comment.

-I can’t authenticate myself, but I am within the current top 10 ranks. The content is all credible, and it is similar to what I had guessed. But the information about the inside of the rift seems precious, and no one but the real 1st place would know. Thank you so much for sharing this information. If we meet later, I would love to greet you in person.

“Oh, wow…”

It felt rewarding to see such comments after working hard on the post.

This person seems to be planning to tackle the rift using the information I provided.

However, that comment was soon ridiculed through replies.

└Huh, without proof, I’m also the second in ranking~

└Actually, I’m the goddess Hestia lol

└I’m a mutant zombie, yeah!

This was a bit frustrating, so I also responded to the comment.

└I hope you’re thoroughly prepared and successful in conquering the rift. If I find a new rift, I will also try to capture and upload a strategy video. Good luck.

And then, the replies to my comment exploded.

└You’re really watching and commenting in real-time, lol

└Where do you live, sir? Can you take me in?

└Wow… even strategy videos? Why is this person so kind, lol

└If I were as strong as the first in the ranking, I’d probably be kind, too. Wouldn’t you feel more relaxed?

└Kim Doha! Kim Doha! Kim Doha! Kim Doha! Kim Doha! Kim Doha!

└You don’t look at the ranking window? It’s not Kim Doha. It’s the real Kim Doha.

└Real Kim Doha! Real Kim Doha! Real Kim Doha! Real Kim Doha! Real Kim Doha!

The reactions were praising me for promising to upload a strategy video.

It seemed that I needed to find a new rift soon. People were probably eagerly waiting.

“Shall we set out early in the morning……?”

Comments were still pouring in.

─Kim Doha, sir. I am a person within the top 50 rankings, but I noticed that when hunting mutant zombies in a party, everyone’s contribution increases. How did you become number one by yourself? Did you seal the rift all by yourself?

A very polite comment.

Seeing me read and comment in real-time, the tone of the people talking to me became gentlemanly.

I was pondering what to reply when suddenly, more replies started pouring in.

└No way, lol. According to the content, 10 mutant zombies attacked. How could you beat that alone?

└Even 10 veterans would struggle with 10.

└Hey, you loser, do you think the number one and you are the same? Think.

└You, what’s your ability’s grade?

└No matter being number one, beating 10 alone sounds like a lie… Anyone who has fought a mutant zombie once would know how unbelievable that is.

└The world is wide. I’ve seen a ranker within the top 10 near me handle 5 alone. Number one could probably do it.

└Really? That’s on another level…

People began to speculate on their own.

Hmm……. In fact, dealing with 10 mutant zombies on my own would probably be difficult.

After all, my ability was [The power to turn a Real Doll into a person].

Without Serena and Ciel, it would have been as if I had high overall ability points but no special ability.

Single-handedly monopolizing the contribution points from sealing a D-class rift was possible because Serena and Ciel were subservient to me, but how should I explain this…?

…Did I really need to explain?

I should probably just let people imagine it as they wish.

I didn’t know what might happen in the future, and leaving even a hint about my ability could work against me.

Even afterward, comments continued to pour in, but I felt no need to reply to any of them.

I should get some sleep to prepare for tomorrow. I have to find a new rift and record a strategy video.

“Uhm….”

I fell asleep holding Baek Seona in my arms.

3.

“Uh, Doha oppa…?”

Baek Seona woke up, rubbing her eyes.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes… Did I faint again yesterday…?”

“Yes.”

“What about the community post?”

“I just wrote it and posted it.”

“Ah… I’m sorry….”

“Why? It’s my fault for pestering you for sex. Don’t worry about it.”

I stroked Baek Seona’s hair gently.

“I’m going to take Serenana and Ciel with me and look for rifts nearby from today on. Please take care of things here while I’m gone. Call me if anything happens.”

“Okay. Got it, oppa. You have to be careful, too? Call me if anything happens!”

“Heh, heh. Alright.”

I left Baek Seona’s room and headed to my own room.

Serena and Ciel always woke up early, offering to perform morning fellatio.

They must have already woken up and were waiting for me by now.

We should eat breakfast together and then head out to search for rifts.

I had that thought as I opened the door.

Creak-

“Oh? The boss is here.”

There was a familiar guest inside the room.

“Hello~?”

A woman was holding a camcorder in her hand and smiling brightly.

It was Han Miin, a member of the expedition team.
