Eugene Gallery is permanently archived, lololololololololololololololololololol
This should be pinned as an announcement.
What the hell, why is he so cute with that?
The tail flicking is hilarious, lololololololololol
Haha, seriously, his character is amazing, lolololol
I've been seriously thinking about this lately... It’s just that my house feels empty, what do you guys think about raising a snake?
Because of this guy, YourSpace’s algorithm has been overtaken by a giant anaconda, lolololololololololololololololol
Why does he look cute even when he’s all bundled up?
Even though he’s wearing it because Dice gave it to him, it’s so funny that he’s wearing it so proudly, lol.
His visuals make him look like a kindergarten teacher, but the background is...
“Hehe, hehehehe...”
“Laurentina, your mouth is about to tear open...”
“She does this every time she meets water.”
9:00 AM, Penthouse underground pool.
A massive pool that could easily accommodate hundreds of people welcomed us. There was even a 7-meter deep section at the far end—of course, we were warned not to go near that area, or we’d be used as practice for the Black Dragon’s wheel demonstration, which made everyone promise never to go there.
Anyway, it had been a while since we were at a pool. Laurentina was already in, like a fish in water, swimming excitedly. Logan and I felt like we had become swimming instructors with about twenty people in front of us.
"Alright, everyone, let’s stretch thoroughly. If anyone gets a cramp, we’ll be giving you the full Navy SEAL combat diving course, so if you want to skip warm-ups, you’re free to dive right in."
"Ugh..."
"Eh, we’re not trying to kill you with warm-ups, just a little stretch-ugh!"
Everyone was complaining over just a little stretching.
Their legs didn’t even stretch straight—complete lack of flexibility. But since pushing too hard could cause muscle tears, Logan, Laurentina, and I were being careful, pushing the limits of flexibility just a little.
As always, Laurentina was targeting Harmony. Of course, she kept business and personal completely separate and only provided necessary physical contact—nothing else, or maybe just a little cheek pinching.
Suddenly, someone screamed in the middle of the pool, but it faded after a few minutes.
"Alright, you’re free to swim however you like. But like I said, don’t go to the deep end... Anyway, if you want to watch us swim, feel free."
"Of course we’re going to watch, who wouldn’t want to see this, hehe."
"How about the youngest? Want to review combat diving?"
"Ugh."
That sounded terrifying.
When Laurentina gets in the water, her gills—usually closed—open up and she could even nap underwater. In fact, during Navy SEAL combat diving training, Laurentina had... just played around. She had received equipment training, of course, because she needed to help the team in emergencies.
While other trainees struggled with water drills, Laurentina? Well, there wasn’t much for her to do—she could breathe underwater.
Of course, I wasn’t any different.
"Should we start with a 10 km swim?"
"That sounds boring, not really..."
"True, haha."
As expected.
Swimming for 40 minutes straight? That would be boring. Plus, when I finished in 40 minutes, Laurentina would already be done 20 minutes ahead and waiting outside with a cola.
Laurentina was really excited to be in the water after a long time, swimming energetically. She swam back and forth across a 100-meter lane several times, then grabbed my ankle and headed toward the 7-meter deep zone.
After about 15 minutes of underwater combat drills, Laurentina and I were interrupted by Logan, who swam up, grabbed our clothes, and pulled us to the surface.
There, a crowd of twenty people were watching us.
"They’ve been fine underwater for so long, don’t worry about it, just have fun."
"Yeah, whatever."
"...Why is everyone watching us here?"
"Don’t you know? You’re the one who’s missing out."
Naturally, there was a difference in perception. Those who had been playing for a while noticed that we weren’t around, so they came looking, and found us practicing underwater combat in the 7-meter deep area.
While they were staring in awe, Laurentina waved her hand and called out to Mina.
"Newbie, want to try the shark attraction?"
"Uh... yeah!"
After that, Harmony, riding Laurentina like a shark, zoomed through the pool at insane speed. Everyone was laughing, not sure whether this was part of the content or not. After a moment, DICE and I shared a look, and within 30 seconds, she was yanked into the water by my tail.
Meanwhile, Logan looked at the scene with a blank expression and muttered:
"I shouldn’t have let the youngest get near that idiot."
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.
Of course, Laurentina heard it, stopped by Logan for a moment, and with a swift use of her immense strength, splashed water all over his face before running off. The polar bear chased after Laurentina through the water at terrifying speed.
Naturally, Harmony, who was on Laurentina’s back, felt like she was actually being chased by Logan.
And so, the swimming session lasted until about 11:30 PM. What began as a typical housewarming event turned into an absurd spectacle, with Eugene’s plan to get everyone moving after the previous night’s feast utterly failing.
"Well, as long as it’s fun, right?"
"Exactly."
The second day of the housewarming was going on.
“Ugh, I’m sleepy...”
"Never thought I’d end up taking a nap."
4:30 PM, the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, and the people who had been napping began to wake up one by one. The reason was simple. Everyone had exerted so much energy in the morning's swim that after lunch, everyone started complaining about being tired.
The combination of food coma and cardio was so intense that even the three ability users, including me, couldn’t escape it. After eating, about two hours passed, and by around 2:30 PM, everyone started casually lounging around.
Without needing any explanation, two people sneaked off to the master bedroom, and I, on a slightly too large bed, ended up napping there.
And so, we return to the beginning.
“Ugh.”
"Hold on, I’ll brush your hair."
"I just want to sleep more..."
The people who had woken up were sluggishly sitting on the living room sofa. After taking just one nap, the afternoon had been erased. Logan and Laurentina, who had woken up, came walking with more energy than before.
Especially Laurentina... Why is her body so smooth and shiny?
“...Did you put something on your face?”
"I was taking a bath and fell asleep, and this happened."
"That’s a response I never expected."
Considering how my skin was in a similar state last summer with high humidity... maybe it made sense.
Anyway, after wasting some time, everyone was gradually coming back to their senses. For those who weren’t fully awake, I had to shake my tail for a while, so there was no reason they couldn’t wake up now. Of course, once they heard what I was going to say next, they would wake up immediately.
"Dinner’s at 7 tonight, so let’s go for a light... gym session before then."
"...What?"
"The housewarming party is nice and all, but we can’t leave here gaining weight, can we?"
Most people blinked in confusion.
The person who clapped their hands and shone their eyes brightly was... Hotteok.
"Of course. I’ve been waiting for this! Shall we go now?"
"You know what’s up."
And thus, the gym session began, led by Hotteok.
Hotteok, otherwise known as the operator of the YourSpace health channel, had clearly been itching for some physical activity. Without wasting time, he ran over to the closet, quickly grabbing shoes, a water bottle, a waist support belt, knee sleeves, wrist supports, straps, and a whole bunch of other gear stuffed into his duffel bag.
Kimstone, Harmony, and Limit exchanged confused glances, wondering what had gotten into him, but it didn’t matter. Hotteok’s expression was the happiest it had been all day.
We all headed to the elevator, and despite some initial hesitation, most of the group followed. The gym, located on the lower floor of the penthouse, was quickly accessed. Of course, clothes had already been provided for the session, and for those who hadn’t brought their own shoes, they had been sold in the lobby.
But these weren’t just any regular shoes—trained staff would analyze your body and recommend the perfect pair for you, even making custom insoles if necessary. Everything had been prearranged, and the payment was already taken care of.
Those who hadn’t brought their own shoes were given a pair, and the responses were positive:
"Wow, these shoes are so comfortable."
"Do I have to return them when we leave?"
"You can just think of them as a gift since you’re here for the housewarming. Also, if anyone doesn’t want their body composition shown, raise your hand now."
At that, a few people raised their hands—mostly thumbnail artists and one or two of the editors. It was clear they didn’t mind getting their bodies analyzed, but they just didn’t want it broadcasted.
So, we entered the fitness club. The ones who were already somewhat used to strength training hopped on some fancy treadmills and began to warm up.
"…Ah, hello. It’s Hotteok, everyone. I didn’t give a heads-up earlier, but the reason I turned on the stream so suddenly is that... tada! We’ve arrived at the top-tier fitness club on the floor below Eugene’s penthouse."
It looked like some had already started streaming individually. So, the streams were integrated, and soon, Limit, Harmony, Kimstone, and I were all streaming together. As soon as the viewers entered, they saw several people eagerly waiting in front of the body composition machines, taking their turns.
"Hello, everyone. It’s Eugene, celebrating the second day of the housewarming."
"Everyone! Eugene promised to make sure everyone gets some muscle soreness today! Please save us—ugh...!"
"When did I ever say that?" Eugene quickly retorted, swiftly pinching Harmony’s cheek as she was about to run her mouth.
With a grin, Eugene grabbed Harmony by the armpits, lifting her like a long cat, before setting her down on the body composition machine. With a sound of whoosh, the printout of the results came out.
Naturally, the printout was immediately blurred out...
"Mina."
"Well, I’ve been getting so many tasty snacks lately, hehe..."
"I’m going to call Laurentina."
"Ugh, noooo!"
There was simply too much body fat to be forgiven.
And so, Eugene’s fitness club, Eugene School style, officially opened.
