I Became the Head of Returners Gallery

[You have helped returnees in difficulty.]
[The returnees’ average distress level is 1.5.]
[120,000 points have been credited.]
120,000 points just for putting spare phones and power banks on auction?
Ding—
[Total auction price of 100,000 points has been credited.]
[Commission fee of 1,000 points has been credited.]
[Current points: 221,000 points]
[Gallery level increased! lv.2→lv.9]
[Additional permissions granted.]
[The shop is ‘partially’ opened to regular users.]
[Once a day, you can enter a fixed nickname or IP into the gallery management window to transfer to that user’s world. (Return is also possible once a day)]
[Current shop and auction usage fee is 3 percent.]
Wow, seven levels at once.
At this rate, I might be able to transfer the manager position to someone else and bail within a year.
‘Wait, I earned nearly 200,000 points but only went up by 7 levels?’
I quickly opened the gallery management window.
[Gallery lv.9 (35,000 points to level 10)]
[Permissions: File manager appointment, Gallery shop, Gallery auction, Otherworld transfer, Manager transfer]
That figures.
I expected the points needed for each level to increase, but I didn’t think they would rise this steeply.
Doubling the required points for each level seems excessive.
I guess I’m lucky the system doesn’t use points when leveling up.
I accessed Gaji Market and Coobang for the first time in a while.
Then I sent trade requests to everyone selling spare phones in my neighborhood and bought 10,000 ampere power banks.
Might as well earn properly since I’ve started earning.

“What? They get 10 points each time they write a post?”
I had never received points for posting.
All the points I had earned so far were from the auction and solving distress situations.
I felt a bit unfair.
Regular users earn 10 points for even posting garbage, but I, the manager, don’t get points.
‘But I receive commission fees, and when I sell a smartphone, the points multiply…’
My feeling of unfairness itself was a deception against gallery users who earned points by posting.
Still, after spending days meaninglessly passing time, helping someone somehow made me feel good.
[Gaji!]
While I was reading posts praising me, a notification from Gaji Market rang.
-Seller: I’ve arrived.
Other sellers accepted my suggestions to send to a convenience store or leave it with the security office, but this seller insisted on meeting at the apartment complex.
Along with the message that they didn’t have a bank account and could only accept cash.
But I had no choice since I had already bought all the used spare phones in this neighborhood.
‘I don’t want to go out.’
But gallery points were important.
‘Should I just buy new ones?’
But new products would take time to be delivered.
No matter how much money I had, I couldn’t do anything about time.
Then it would take longer to gather points, and I would be stuck in the manager position longer.
“Let’s go, go…”
I put on a hoodie and a mask.
There’s no point in showing my ugly face.
Creak—
And I opened the front door after a very long time.
It was already morning, with light pouring in.
As soon as I got on the elevator, I sent a message.
-Wearing a black hoodie and white mask.
[Gaji!]
A reply came in less than 10 seconds.
-Okay.
It was a short answer.
I sent a random emoticon and got on the elevator.
‘The sunlight is too bright. Dazzling…’
My eyes hurt as if I had become a vampire.
With my hood pulled down, I somehow made it to the bank, withdrew cash, and arrived at the entrance of the complex.
“Gaji.”
A girl wearing a dirty gray hoodie waved her hand, calling out “Gaji.”
She seemed to be a runaway teenager.
She must be selling her spare phone because she had nothing else to sell.
“Here’s the phone.”
She handed me a shopping bag with the phone.
“Thank you. I’ll check it first and then give you the money.”
Nod—
The runaway teenager nodded.
I checked the phone in the box.
It was an ordinary domestic phone with a cracked screen.
‘Somehow this phone looks familiar.’
At that moment, I felt something thick on my hand.
It was a mark where a grip tok, which was popular when this spare phone was in use, had been attached and fallen off.
‘This spare phone is one that I sold in the Returnee Gallery!’
“Have you finished checking? Then give me the money.”
“W-wait a moment!”
I bit my tongue.
But she turned around.
At that moment, red eyes under the hood gleamed.
“Could it be a return…”
“Heavenly Demon Bone-Dislocating Breath Technique.”
Crack!
With a creepy sound of bones breaking, I collapsed to the ground.
There’s no human who could stand upright after their shin bones break, except for returnees.
“Urgh…”
“I had no ill intent.”
As I fell to the ground, she took the cash envelope from my hoodie pocket and ran away.
Who would believe there was no ill intent when she broke my bones?
“Arghh…”
I lay on the ground for a long time until someone called an ambulance, and I was able to go to the hospital.
I returned home with a cast.
Fortunately, the bone broke cleanly, so I didn’t need to be hospitalized.
Although I had to wear a cast for a month.
Since I don’t go outside anyway, it doesn’t matter whether I have a cast or not.
I considered reporting that girl but decided to just go home.
She ran away too quickly, so there were no witnesses, but I had a feeling that if that girl, or rather the returnee, got caught by the police, she would face unfortunate consequences.
I don’t know why.
If she bought two phones I sold in the auction, she must be a gallery addict who stays in the gallery 24 hours a day.
I should ban her from using the gallery as punishment for breaking the manager’s bones.
That would be a greater punishment for her.

[Content: Foolish children, this one has returned.
I’ve come back with methods to avoid capture by the police and Hunter Association, which I couldn’t share yesterday due to mobile phone usage instructions.
Returnees must not reveal the fact that they are returnees.
But countless unpredictable events occur in life.
If you are revealed to be a returnee on the run, the only way to silence witnesses is to kill and destroy.
However, most returnees in this gallery probably lived in worlds similar to modern Earth.
Killing and destroying should be considered only as a last resort.
Instead, if you practice the Bone-Breaking Technique, you can subdue anyone who discovers you’re a returnee in one move.
This one used a more noble martial art because I am a Heavenly Demon, but I’ve modified the incantation so that even those with just first-class internal energy can practice it. Be grateful.
The incantation is attached.

-Are you proud of breaking someone’s bones?
└Author: The world is survival of the fittest. If you get caught by the police and get devoured, you would do the same.
-Just click an A-class skill instead of learning some Bone-Breaking Technique lol I could do it with my toe^^
└Not many returnees reach SS-class like you, S-class bitch
└Author: Skills are the power of status windows, not your own power. Returnees from worlds with status windows always worship skills and end up getting hurt badly. You too will someday realize the powerlessness of skills.
└Yes, yes, that someday will come someday, ma’am lol

And as soon as I got home, I discovered who had broken my leg.
Filled with anger, I pounded on my keyboard.
