Spring Batch of Death: The desperate terror of 3 AM is finally over. Course

💀 [Winner Announcement] Book Distribution Operation Concluded: 5(+4) Execution Targets Confirmed

$ ./announce_winners.sh --target=2025_squad
[INFO] Starting reward queue dequeue
[OK] 5 regular execution targets confirmed
[WARN] Priority queue detected. Proceeding with additional executions.
[OK] 4 special execution list targets confirmed
[STATUS] Total 9 people. Dissemination operation nearing completion.

Killgu Squad, I hereby announce 💀

Originally, only 5 people were scheduled for execution, but the firepower of the 1st generation squad in the comments section exceeded expectations. Even the system terminator is human. My heart wavered. Therefore, I activated a separate priority queue. 4 additional executions.

A total of 9 people. The books are going to you.

🎖 5 regular execution targets

$ cat /var/log/reward_queue.log

1) Porori

"At first, I thought he was some kind of lunatic because his persona was so crazy."

"Total lunatic". This is the only goal I pursue. You saw the essence. 💀

2) Coding for a living

"Thanks to Kil-gu hyung, I learned about Batch 5 and Batch 6. If you give me the book, I'll take it to my grave."

The grave. With this single word, you have touched the essence of the KILL-9 spirit. Take it with you as a burial gift. 🪦

3) Jeonghun

"Kill-9 hyung, please deliver a bomb to my house. It would be great if it's a bomb that looks like a book."

Bomb delivery received. A bomb more lethal than any other will be delivered. 💀

4) Frozen

"$ sudo apt install kill-9-book / [INFO] 2025 1st Generation Squad certification complete / [WARN] Lectures are still at 0%, but loyalty is already at 100% / [REQUEST] Please allocate 1 copy of the physical book. Sincere congratulations on the publication. Once I receive the book, I will read it over and over until the end 💀"

Doppelgänger detected. I thought I wrote this comment myself. (0% progress on the lecture... if you ran apt install, at least try executing it, you fake-Gu.)

5) Murmur

"Bro, I need a pot stand."

The world's deadliest pot stand will soon arrive at your dining table. I look forward to a photo in the comments of a ramen pot placed on top of the red skull. 💀

💀 Special Execution List: 4 People

$ cat /var/log/priority_queue.log
[INFO] Targets whose priority has been upgraded for special reasons.

1) Cuty Boy

"Kill-gu hyung. As expected, you didn't forget us. The legacy brothers are crying. Starting with this, please bring the next lecture quickly too..... lol"

"Legacy Brothers". I like that expression. From now on, I will officially call those of you who clicked the payment button before the price increase Legacy Brothers. As for the next lecture... there probably isn't one. If I have time, I will focus on the Batch 6.0.4 update...

2) klord

"Kir-gu Ya-hoo~!"

This kind of nonsense is exactly what I pursue. Out-of-context shouting is another pillar of the KILL-9 spirit.

3) GoHome

"I knew I could count on you"

Kill-gu / Da-9. Random and excellent rhyme. Not bad.

4) jacoba

"I took a quick look at the book in the bookstore and it's great! If I win, please sign the book for me 🫡"

The first request for an autograph. Thanks to you, a handwritten signature option has been added to this distribution operation. Everyone gets a signature because of you. This is a merit award. 🏅

💀 To all the legacy soldiers who did not win

$ ls /var/log/legacy_squad/
[INFO] Printing all personnel logs for 2025...
[STATUS] 9 are targets for execution, but the Medal of Honor goes to everyone.

I couldn't send the book to everyone. But let me make one thing clear.

This book existed because you were there. 💀

I am truly grateful. I don't know what it will be, but I'll see you again in the next operation. 🫡

— KILL-9, System Terminator

P.S. At the very back of the book, in the “Touch Beyond Destruction” chapter, I have engraved a sincere message of gratitude to each and every one of you. Whether you receive the book or not, buy it or not, take a look at least once. 💀
