Trantor: Chubby Cheeks

Genie, Khan and Locke entered the dungeon solemnly. This was the dungeon that they had failed to clear not only once or twice but six times in total! And today was their final chance to attack and clear this dungeon.
Shortly after they had entered the dungeon the huge form of the cursed dragon appeared in their sights. The cursed dragon! This monster was a Lv450 monster that had a body that was rotten all over. However, having a rotten body did not mean that it was weak because it was literally a monster that imed to be a dragon. A sword couldn’t even prate its thick skin and its powerful Breath could bring about huge damages to users. It would even bring the users under an ‘abnormal state’.
Puhaaaaaa!
The monster breathed out its disgusting and horrendous green Breath!
Genie, Khan and Locke quickly moved aside to dodge the iing Breath.
Shwaaaaaaa!
Genie immediately struck her whip towards the cursed dragon.
[Your attack has failed.]
However, it was something that she had expected. Its skin was too thick to be prated with just one whip attack. Then, the King of Fists, Khan gathered a powerful energy on his fists.
[Battering.]
[Flurry of punches with additional 40% attack power.]
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack has failed.]
“Kiiiiiyeeeeeeeh!”
His attacks missed! However, not all of his attacks had failed.
The cursed dragon almost reeled in ce after it allowed three attacks tond on its massive body. But its skin still looked solid without any hint of a scratch or a dent on it.
“Keuhahaha! Go to hell! Go to hell!”
Locke kept on shing at the cursed dragon with his axe.
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack has failed.]
sh!
Just as his axended a hit on the tough skin of the cursed dragon, Locke quickly used that gap to cast his Crazy Priest’s Heal.
[Crazy Priest’s Heal.]
[Continuous bleeding will be triggered. In addition, there is a 20% probability of triggering various abnormal conditions.]
Spurt!
“Kiiieee?”
The cursed dragon finally realized that something strange happened to its body. A long time had passed but there was still rotten blood spurting out of the injury that it received from the axe earlier. And it did not even end there, the area where the injury was began to rot faster than normal.
[The Cursed Dragon has fallen under the abnormal condition ‘Limited Abilities.’.]
[Breath is temporarily unavable for use.]
“......!”
Locke was caught in surprise when he heard the notifications.
“It, it said that Breath is temporarily unavable since it has fallen under an abnormal condition?”
“Heok……!”
“......!”
Khan and Genie’s eyes both widened in shock. They kept looking at him as if they could not believe what he had just said.
Locke’s Crazy Priest’s Heal can also cause bleeding!
In fact, his skill did not have much of an effect on the cursed dragon before. However, right now in front of them, the cursed dragon was bleeding profusely. And it did not even end there. The cursed dragon even had its abilities restricted by the skill. The +3 on skill effect was truly something that could never be ignored. The skill that they had previously seen was something that waspletely different now after acquiring that +3.
Puhaaaack!
Puhaaaaaaack!
Not long after, the cursed dragon who had suffered from their attacks finally copsed and fell down. Its organs were a mess, it also couldn’t use its Breath and its body even rotted at a speed that was visible to the naked eye which resulted in the restriction of its movements.
Thud!
The cursed dragon fell with a thud.
Genie trembled in excitement.
‘If this video gets out in the world……!’
Then they would be able to get a huge response from the public!
They raided the dungeon at a rapid pace. They wanted to finish this as fast as they could with as much re as they could.
And finally, they arrived in front of the boss monster.
It was none other than the knight of the dead, Death Knight.
Death Knight was even equipped with a white sword! He was even wearing golden armor as he was bathed in red light.
“Keuk!”
“Ugh!”
Genie and Khan both let out groans of pain as they blocked Death Knight’s attacks.
Then…
Stab!
A de was run straight through Genie’s chest.
“Keoheok!”
Locke, who was watching the situation from the back, quickly used his heal on her.
[Heal.]
[You have a 20%~30% probability of recovering the HP of your target.]
The blood spurting out of Genie’s gaping wound on the chest slowly trickled down to a stop and her HP slowly filled her body with energy and warmth.
“I have never seen Locke look this pretty before, really!”
“Pretty……? That’s not……”
“Keuhahaha! The pretty Locke ising through! Die! Die! Keuhahaha!”
Locke literally flew around the ce happily. He did not forget to deal a huge amount of damage to the enemy. Of course, he also did not forget his role as a healer of their party. It was a truly amazing sight.
Finally…
“Keuaaaack!”
The knight of death, Death Knight, was fiercely struck by Khan’s fists and fell down with a shriek. The Death Knight’s sword shed brightly as huge amounts of gold and artifacts dropped after its death.
[You have leveled up.]
After finishing the Death Knight off, the party took off with great achievements and rewards. They were even able to increase their levels by one.
It was a known fact that the higher their levels were, the harder it was to umte enough EXP to level themselves up. In fact, it was truly difficult for Lv400 users to increase their level even by one in a span of three days. This was also the reason why rankers were only separated by one level. However, even if their difference was only at one level, the difference was truly substantial. It was like the difference between heaven and earth whether in terms of strength, attack power or defensive power.
“We did it!”
“Yay!”
“Keuhahaha! It’s all thanks to this body!”
Khan and Genie both shook their heads at his remarks.
“It’s all thanks to Minhyuk.”
Lockeughed crazily but he still admitted the truth.
My god, it wasn’t because they were overgeared but because he ate an overly good dish! But if this overly good dish was this good then he would definitely be Minhyuk’s firm believer!
Just then, a message popped out in front of them. It was a totally unexpected set of messages too.
[You are the first people to have conquered a Time Attack Dungeon.]
[You have gained 20 reputation points.]
[You have acquired +3 on all your basic stats.]
[Time Attack Dungeons will now be opened to all countries of the world.]
[The Time Attack Dungeons can only be essed for 2 weeks.]
[The possible number of attacks per day is 5.]
[Your attack time is limited to 2 hours. If users fail to clear the dungeon then they will not be allowed to enter the dungeon again.]
[After 2 weeks, the three highest-ranked parties will be given special rewards.]
Time Attack Dungeon!
It was an event dungeon. This event dungeon runs on the rule of ‘shorter attack time on boss mobs then the higher the EXP rewards.’.
Don’t tell me that the dungeon that we had just cleared was the start of the time attack dungeon?
What was more surprising was…
‘The Time Attack Dungeons will happen all over the world?’
It literally meant what it said… the Time Attack Dungeons would be open to the whole world. In other words, people from all over the world would bepeting for the Time Attack Dungeon.
So what will happen if our names appeared on that list?
‘We can show them that our country is not dead yet!’
And in order for us to do that?
‘Right now, we can cut our target time to 15 minutes. So if we can get out of here and eat Minhyuk’s food, then……?’
Perhaps they could still shorten that time and clear the dungeon in less than 15 minutes.
***
Minhyuk finally received the blessings that Eidni had promised to give him.
[You have received a blessing from Eidni.]
[You have gained 100 points in Holy Power.]
[You have gained +5 in all of your stats.]
[You have gained 10 reputation points.]
[You will now have 5% additional damage to undead monsters.]
The priests’ Holy Power!
And he even received 100 points directly after obtaining the Holy Power. Along with this blessing, he also received a notification about Varen’s quest.
[Kingdom Quest: Make a Legendary Dish for God Juis!]
Rank: SS
Restrictions: Favorability with Varen
Rewards: Sushi made entirely with S-ranked ingredients, Bad’s cup
Penalty for Failure: Your favorability with the citizens of Valkyrie Kingdom would drop and you won’t be able to enter the Northern Continent anymore.
Description: Due to the wrath of God Juis, Valkyrie Kingdom and the rest of the Northern Continent is now in a crisis. God Juis wanted to taste a dish that is much more delicious than what is usually served for her. Cook for her!
A SS-ranked quest!
“Bad’s cup? Is it a wine ss?”
“......Cough. W, wine ss.”
When he mentioned wine ss, Varen couldn’t stop himself from coughing in surprise.
“Bad’s cup is God’s treasure. Its size is in factrger than the regr size of a goblet but the water that is held in Bad’s cup is said to be holy. It is said that drinking water from the cup will give you a different level of powerparable or even more powerful than whatever the best medicine can give you.”
“Hoo? Is the water in Bad’s cup much more delicious than normal water? Hiyaaa.”
Minhyuk’s eyes glittered in excitement as he licked his lips in anticipation. He even gulped down his saliva as if he was imagining what it’s taste was like.
Varen avoided his stare unknowingly as he was left speechless with Minhyuk’s actions.
“Oh…… Uhm…… I, I think so?”
“I’m going to make a legendary dish!”
“......”
Minhyuk’s will was burning brightly not for the kingdom’s sake but for the sake of delicious sushi and water from Bad’s cup!
‘God……!’
Varen looked wordlessly up in the sky.
“Ah. But before I start cooking can I see God Juis?”
“......It’s possible if you ask.”
“I can only cook for her once I have seen her.”
Varen nodded his head as he called for Eidni. And Eidni who had been called again, prayed and prayed for days to call for God Juis. After a few days, he came out covered in sweat.
“You can now go inside. However, the only person that she wants toe inside is Minhyuk-nim. Your Highness…… she doesn’t wish to see you.”
Varen felt extremely sorry when he heard those words but he still begged Minhyuk.
“Please, I’m begging you. When you go inside don’t say ‘I’m hungry.’, ‘What does the water in the Bad’s cup taste like?’ or ‘Can I just lick it once so I can taste?’! Please don’t!”
“......Heok?! My god. Then, can I ask God about what’s delicious?”
I knew it! I knew it!
Varen’s expression hardened.
“My goodness! Don’t ask God Juis about what’s delicious! I was just about to ask you to drop it off!”
Varen and Eidni both exasperatedly said at the same time.
“P, please don’t say anything weird……”
“We’re begging you, please don’t say anything weird……”
“Eyy. So disappointing.”
Minhyuk clicked his tongue in disappointment. Even though he felt that it was a disappointment, since they were begging him so loudly then there was nothing that he could do.
“When you get inside, just keep your head down. Don’t raise your head at all. And please, be as polite as possible. The future of our kingdom depends on it!”
“I understand.”
Minhyuk nodded his head as he slowly went inside the temple.
***
God Juis finally agreed to answer the prayers of the priest Eidni who had been praying to her for days.
In fact, she could answer him right away but she did not want to do it.
‘You need to go through a bit of trouble!’
She only went down to eat delicious food once every year. In fact, she truly enjoyed having the delicious meal that was served to her after that long and boring ritual. But then, she discovered that her food was covered in poison. She had always hated whenever her meal waspromised so she had no choice but to show her wrath.
Not long after, the person who would cook for her had entered the temple. He tactfully bowed his head as soon as he entered.
“I have seen God Juis!”
His head almost touched his stomach with how low he was bowing. However, When God Juis looked at his figure, she was so surprised that she even took a step back.
‘W, why is he here?’
This question floated in her head as her small figure trembled. Then, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
There was a huge shadow hiding behind Minhyuk. This shadow was in the shape of a baby pig.
She looked like she couldn’t believe her eyes. As soon as she opened her mouth to confirm and ask about the pig…
[The God of Athenae is imposing sanctions on you.]
She bit her lips hard to control herself.
The God of Athenae was the absolute authority. He was the ultimate god among all of the gods. She couldn’t go against his orders even if she was a god herself.
However, when she looked at the man who was almost touching his stomach with his head, she realized that something was strange. He was weak but she was sure that she was quite familiar with the aura he was emitting.
‘A god……?’
The power and aura that he was emitting must be the power of a god.
