83 Siblings Selling Ramyeon
Ellie, the Great Sword, was walking while listening to the report of her aide, Ruth.“Count Gedir has collected more taxes than usual and has reigned like a king in the land. If there was anyone who bothered him, he would slit their throat and if he fancied a woman, he would hug her and bed her even if they haven’t come of age yet.”
“Call him in and put him in jail right away. If he refuses then it’s alright to make a summary judgment on the spot.”
“Yes.”
Ellie, just like usual, was living her life as the cold Empress. Then, Ellie suddenly stopped walking as she trembled on the spot.
“Im… Impossible…”
The direction where she was looking was in the direction where Minhyuk just used the Berserk Sword. She could feel a vast amount of power from her swordsmanship in that direction.
‘Minhyukie… has reached Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s Extreme rank…?’Ellie’s Swordsmanship was not always called Ellie’s Swordsmanship before. It was only named ‘Ellie’s Swordsmanship’ after she named it after herself. This was a skill that had always been the framework of the swordsmanship of her ancestors. However, the former Emperors had been blocked by the limitations of their bodies.
‘A godly state that is in reach but can never be reached.’
Ellie and her ancestors had called it like that but the users and the operators had called it as ‘Half-God’. However, this swordsmanship was originally a swordsmanship that God had personally left and dropped in this world. They had said that plenty of skills and powers in Athenae had been born from a God. There were eight extreme attack skills created by Aerod, the god of abilities and destructions, that had fallen on earth. One of them was Ellie’s Swordsmanship. However, no one has ever reached the extreme.
So, when she felt that power from earlier, all she could do was stand in shock.
‘According to the legends…’
Those who had reached the extreme level of Ellie’s Swordsmanship were supposed to save the continent.
However, the power appeared only for a moment and disappeared quickly. And Ellie could tell.
‘Did the power open temporarily because of something?’
She took a breath and calmed herself down.
‘It’s still a bit early but perhaps Minhyukie will be able to reach the extreme level. Something that even I can’t reach.’
Then, she began to walk again.

ATV broadcasting station’s commentator, Lee Daejin, looked at the monitor with blinking eyes. Then, he rubbed his eyes.
‘What, what did I just see…?’
He couldn’t even tell what he just saw. Then…
Badump, badump, badump, badump―
His heart beat intensely as the hairs all over his body stood up. It was a thrilling sensation.
And…
‘The Athenae: World War… I think our country can win…!’
The world experts had said that South Korea was very likely to remain in the 40th place out of the 49 participating countries. And there weren’t even a lot of people who could deny this claim. But then, they saw Minhyuk.
Lee Daejin couldn’t help but mutter loudly.
“Our country is 40th place? Are there any other users in your country who are as powerful as that?!!!!”
And his voice was transmitted just like that.
[Our country is 40th place? Are there any other users in your country who are as powerful as that?!!!!]
Even if he sounded arrogant, no one could say that he was not qualified as a commentator despite his conceited and arrogant comment.
The comments that had fallen silent began flooding in once more.
[Crazy… shit… that’s completely crazy… so crazy…! This is the best out of all the videos that I have ever watched…!]
[Wow… I think I have to change my underwear. It’s so awesome that I might have wetted my pants a bit!]
[I didn’t like User Minhyuk because he’s a Food God but I decided to become his fan today!]
[No user in their countries could ever show their bestest and strongest skill that could rival his.]
[Where are all the members who said that our God, Food God can’t carry others?]
[Everyone, what we need to do right now is certain and has been decided.]
[What’s that?]
[Korea, make some noiiiiiiiiiiseeeee!]
[Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
[Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
And on that day, shouts and screams resounded all over Korea as if they had scored during the World Cup. Korea’s stellar performance in Athenae: World War was not that impossible after all.
***
[The duration of Berserk has ended, your HP has now dropped below 10%.]
[You can’t increase your HP with any sort of potio or heal for 3 minutes.]
[Your defense level drops below 20%.]
Minhyuk felt all of his strength disappear as soon as he heard the notification that the duration of the skill Berserk ending. What came after was none other than a huge decline in HP including enormous muscle pain. What was worse was the fact that he couldn’t increase his HP through any potion or heal so it was safe to assume that the Berserk skill was a double-edged sword.
While feeling the strength leaving his body, Minhyuk recalled the countless notifications that he heard earlier.
‘Demon God’s Knight’s Training Room Stone, Demon God’s special parchment, more than 3,000 platinum and 61 million EXP…’
He even leveled up as much as 11 times straight. There were even two job quests created in a row.
‘Was it created because I reached Lv450?’
Minhyuk immediately checked out the quests.
[Job Quest: Food God’s Warriors]
Rank: ???
Restrictions: Lv450
Rewards: The third legacy dish and Food God’s Secret
Penalty for Failure: Unable to challenge the fifth and final Food God’s legacy dish.
Description: The Food God has the best servants and subordinates all over the world. Raise and collect subordinates and make them into your own warriors. It’s possible to make NPCs and users your own warriors. Can only be fulfilled once they make the ‘Warrior’s Oath’. Have at least 10 legendary people or more.
[Job Quest: Food God’s Kingdom.]
Rank: ???
Restrictions: Lv450
Rewards: The fourth legacy dish and the Food God’s Silver Armor set.
Penalty for Failure: Unable to eat the remaining God’s dishes and legacy dishes.
Description: Food God is a powerful being that shook the entire continent. Take your first steps, create a kingdom and get closer to becoming a Food God like that. The quest will be completed once the kingdom has been declared.
‘A kingdom?’
Building a kingdom was some kind of funny story. No one has ever created a kingdom in Athenae at all. No, there wasn’t any guild that has even declared about owning a great land that could house a kingdom.
But you’re telling me to create my own kingdom?
And there was only one reason why Minhyuk was interested in the quest.
‘A kingdom filled with delicious food! Should I create a kingdom like that?!’
Aaaaaah! Just imagining it is making me happy.
The kingdom in and of itself was filled to the brim with food and no one would be hungry.
As for the Food God’s Warriors, Minhyuk already has warriors.
Kaistra, the Envoy of Incarnation.
Legendary Spear Ben.
Great Sage Aruvel.
Someone who could become a Legend, Haze.
The leader of Talmor Religion, Corr.
Sword Saint Conir.
‘Uhm…’
Minhyuk felt a bit overwhelmed when he thought of it.
‘How come…’
Each and every single one of them were special beings. They were all good when compared to others.
‘They have distinct personalities too.’
Minhyuk suddenly looked around to check on his surroundings.
“……”
“……”
“……”
“……”
All of the people present were looking at Minhyuk and his easy-going expression.
And one of them, Lee Hoseung, couldn’t help but startle and fall on his bum.
“…What?”
“No, nothing. Ho, hohohohoho!”
Genie also smiled awkwardly.
“Just, just because!!! Ha, hahahahaha!”
“You, you succeeded in hunting Ba, Barach!!!”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
“Hohohohohoho! You’ve gotten a lot stronger since the last time I saw you!”
Alicia also laughed.
On this day, Alicia, the Legend Guild and all the other rankers present were given a huge surprise by Minhyuk. On the other hand, they also experienced jealousy, envy, and yearning to be the one to turn around the situation like that.
‘We want to be stronger too…’
‘Move forward. We have to move forward.’
Minhyuk’s overwhelming strength promoted everyone’s growth through their competitiveness and envy.
***
Before BJ’s used Minhyuk’s video of using his skill to kill Barach without permission, ATV broadcasting station has already threatened them that they would write a complaint as soon as a video was published. In this way, they were able to control the video. In addition, the reruns that they had scheduled were also briefly stopped from airing.
ATV was creating a board right now. They also made sure to give most of their proceeds to Legend Guild and Minhyuk as they obtained another approval from them. It was for the ‘Hall of Fame’.
Right now, ATV’s PD Kim Daeguk was standing behind a female employee with his hands in his pockets.
“Upload it.”
“Yes, PD-nim.”
The video that will challenge the Hall of Fame.
ATV had also distributed the opening to users in advance.
“It hit 300,000 views as soon as it opened! 350,000! 400,000! 450,000! This is crazy!!! The number of clicks is so unbelievable!!!”
People from all over the world are watching.
The users and rankers from Korea and other countries tried to check and see this hot scene.
PD Kim Daeguk looked out of the window.
‘User Minhyuk’s video is spreading quickly all over the screens of the viewers.’
Then…
“We’re over 1 million views!!!”
“We’re over 5 million views!!!”
The number of users playing Athenae exceeded hundreds of millions. And the number of views continued to soar thanks to these people. And this was just for one day, just one day. And it did not stop.
And on that day.
“We entered 6th place!!!”
“We reached the 4th place!!!”
And…
“3rd place…!!! User Minhyuk’s video has stayed in 3rd place in cumulative views!!! Oh?!!! Th, that!!!”
When they clicked on the upper right corner of the video, they saw a small crown shape…
“…User Minhyuk’s video has been confirmed for the Hall of Fame!!!”
The world has turned upside down. The video has entered the top 10 in cumulative views in just a few days.
And it did not stop there. They originally estimated that it would take a month to reach the Hall of Fame. However, in just a few days, the video had ranked third in the Hall of Fame.
[Shocking!!! There’s a ranker like that in Korea?]
[That’s a skill that I’ve never heard of!!!]
[Our country’s top ranker Mushashi Kentaro talked about his relationship with User Minhyuk. He said that he’s the one who enlightened him!!!]
[The World’s Number 1 in the Mage Rankings, Alex, stood up and gave a round of applause after watching Minhyuk’s video!]
Meanwhile, PD Kim Daeguk took out his cellphone and commented on the Hall of Fame video.
“What did you write?”
“Secret.”
PD Kim Daeguk smiled as he placed his hands on his pockets and went outside. And although he didn’t mean it to happen, one comment quickly came up as the best comment.
And the comment with the most likes and replies was…
‘World, wait for it. Our South Korea is coming.’
