Chapter 1192: End of summer vacation (8)
Seong Si-wan’s Room.
Gae I-dam, who had become mentally wrecked, crouched in the corner.
Even now, Gae I-dam could vividly recall the cold gaze of Yong Je-geon, the contemptuous expression of Yeom Jun-yeol, the cold face of Cheon Dong-ha, and the shocked mouth of Ma Jin-seung.
Gae I-dam had confessed his past to the three 3rd-year classmates and Yong Je-geon.
‘Now that they know what I’ve done, I guess I won’t be able to hang out with them like before.’
As an internet troll, Gae I-dam had collected past remarks or incidents from celebrities, influencers, athletes, and community users—anything that could become a weak point. He dug up rumors without evidence, or past events that had been forgotten, and spread them under the guise of raising questions.
The most common thing he did was to add made-up comments whenever a new story was updated in Plmago and a new character was introduced, reminding people of past incidents in the game.
Whenever Gae I-dam posted, people eagerly joined in to trash-talk the game, since Plmago already had a reputation as a dead game.
Jo2god111 relentlessly tried to confirm the facts and countered him, but most people, like Gae I-dam, just needed someone to target and weren't interested in knowing the actual truth of the game.
‘That insane Christmas event ended, and then when Yeom Jun-yeol appeared, there was a surge in players. When it became popular, I wrote some posts, and that cold-hearted bastard Jo Yi-shin almost wrote a thesis in rebuttal.’
He had spread false rumors about the character gacha probability manipulation, the story errors that were pointed out by users who either misread or skimmed through the settings, and even bugs from other games, all aimed at provoking Jo Yi-shin.
In the middle of this, Gae I-dam cleverly mixed real problems with Plmago between his lies, leaving room for him to cover his tracks.
