2024-10-29 19:42:56The waiter’s eyes broadened, and he quickly shouted, “M-Manger!” And then he ran away.
“Mm? What’s wrong?” Ulmer wondered.
The people who saw the crystal were also almost gasping.
“I-Is that the energy crystal?” one man asked.
“Ah… yeah,” Ulmer answered.
“W-Where did you get it?”
“Somewhere far away from this place,” Ulmer said.
“Will you sell that to me?” one man asked.
“No. Sell it to me,” another man said. “How many gold coins do you need for it?”
“How many can you give?” Ulmer asked. He was trying to see how much this inch-big crystal would sell for.
The manager quickly rushed over to the table and said, “Sir, I will take it. Please give that energy crystal to me. I will give you the gold, and you can also eat freely in this hotel today and for another week if you want.”
“Oh… I like that offer,” Ulmer said and then put the crystal in the manager’s hand. “Give me a fair price. If I know that I’ve been cheated, I will make you pay.”
“I would never cheat on a VIP customer, sir,” the manager said and rushed away to his counter.
“Does that mean he will happily cheat on ordinary customers?” Ulmer could only shake his head.
Within a minute, a dozen dishes were brought to the table, and Ulmer was shocked to see meat items. There was fish, beef, chicken, prawns, lobsters, bird meat and more, with sliced lemons on every dish. They even brought him cool water as well as desserts and fruit juices.
“Whoa…” Ulmer’s mouth drooled, and he wasn’t ashamed of it.
He quickly began to gorge on the items like there was no tomorrow. He didn’t care if he made sounds while eating. He was so hungry, after all.
He ate all the dishes and didn’t leave anything. He didn’t let anything go to waste. Not even a grain of rice, or a piece of meat!
Everyone was impressed by his ability to eat, and some suggested to him that he should participate in food-eating competitions so that he would win great prizes.
Soon, the manager came over with what looked like a bank card in his hand. He then scanned Ulmer’s fingerprint on the card itself, and it automatically saved his data. Ulmer’s name also appeared on the card, surprising him.
How were they able to tell his name from scanning? He guessed that some kind of a supernatural system was working behind the scenes.
The manager then leaned closer and whispered, “There are 850 gold coins worth of money inside. You can use this card to pay for anything at any store, sir.”
“How much is this food worth?” Ulmer asked.
“Just 620 copper coins.”
“Copper? How much is a copper coin worth?”
“100 coppers is 1 silver, and 100 silver is 1 gold.”
“Oh, that means…” His eyes somewhat widened at the thought. “I can eat like this more than ten thousand times with the money that’s in the card?”
“Yes, sir. You can buy a dozen big houses with that money,” the manager said. “However, the outsiders are not allowed to buy property in their name unless they spend at least ten years here. I hope you’re satisfied with the price I paid.”
“Mm…” Ulmer was greatly surprised to hear that, but he didn’t show it on his face.
As Ulmer was leaving, he was also given a VIP customer card, which he gladly took.
“I guess I don’t have to pay for seven more days for eating,” Ulmer thought to himself. “But I can’t stay in one place. I have to roam around and know more about this place. And I need to find Brianna.”
As he was walking, he saw that the streets were very clean, and the houses were extremely clean. Every house was bright as if they all painted their houses every other year.
“Everybody is slim and is dressed neatly,” Ulmer said. “And I don’t see any beggars or even poor people for that matter. This place is one of a kind, alright.”
He was walking slowly because his stomach was very full.
“W-Wait,” just then he remembered something. “We got here through a portal. We can also leave through a portal whenever we want, right?”
Dove didn’t say anything.
“W-Why aren’t you saying anything, Dove?” Ulmer asked. “Stop making me feel nervous.”
“I can open a portal,” Dove said, “but let us first achieve our goals.”
Ulmer was somewhat relieved to hear that. “I know my goal, but what exactly is your goal?”
“This city is ruled by who they call an Emperor,” Dove said. “You just have to… choose… to either kill him or save him.”
Ulmer frowned. “I can choose? What kind of bullshit is this? If it’s your goal, then why are you giving me the right to choose?”
“I’m the Spirit System, Ulmer,” Dove said. “I don’t force you to do anything against your will. As you move forward, you will be presented with two choices whether you like it or not. I’m just telling you about the future, that’s all. It will be up to you to decide what you’ll choose, and depending on your actions, I will be able to come to a conclusion.”
“I don’t get what you’re saying, but this sounds way too troublesome than I thought,” Ulmer said. “The people here look nice. They are smiling and are being friendly toward an outsider like me. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble in this peaceful place.”
Just then, a young lady came running and ended up bumping into Ulmer hard from the side.
Both of them fell to the ground, and their lips ended up squeezing together very hard.
Both their eyes enlarged very much.

Ulmer never kissed a woman before.Not counting his family members., the only woman who ever kissed him on the cheek was Brianna.So, right now, Ulmer was goggle-eyed when a strangely pretty woman not only pushed him down to the ground but also gave him a very hard kiss that made both of them exchange each other’s breaths.On top of that, she did not get up but just kept staring at him with mild shock in her eyes.Ulmer could see that she was a bit embarrassed and shocked by what happened.“A-Are you going to get up?” he asked her.“U-Um, I’m sorry,” she quickly got up. She had a long ponytail, and she was wearing loose jeans. Her hair was so dark, shiny, and long that it naturally caught his attention. It’s not a fake wig, right? Because he had some women fool men with wigs.“It’s okay,” Ulmer got up to his feet. He was four inches taller than her, who was 5 foot seven inches.“No, it’s not okay. We kissed each other,” the young brunette said rather innocently. “You should marry me.”

Ulmar’s POV:A few hours passed since I stepped foot in the Revers family house.And now I found myself watering the banana plants. There were more than a dozen big banana plants, and I must say that the bananas tasted so damn good.I water the plants not manually but by just operating the water pipe systems that were neatly arranged to automatically pour water to the plants.Kale was observing me from a distance. He was 14 years old, and he was yet to speak a word with me. He had the same name as one of my friends, the one who attacked me not long ago. So, it feels a bit weird that he has the same name, though I’m not thinking much about it.After finishing my job, I sat down on a stone bench under a custard apple tree and looked at the evening sun.“Is the sun I see real, or is this some kind of an illusion?”[It is real.] Dove said. [Though, it’s somewhat like a hologram.]“Huh? How can it be real if it’s a hologram?”[Well, I will tell you more about it when you’re ready.]“Anywa

Ulmer got married that same night.He never even expected this before coming to this city, but he ended up marrying whom he believed was the prettiest girl he ever met. He just didn’t want to miss this opportunity, and so he changed his mind and did not run away.The marriage didn’t happen grandly, but it wasn’t boring, either. The Revers family called those they were close with, and the wedding happened in the presence of about fifty or so guests in the backyard itself.The one thing that Ulmer was not able to forget was that the groom had to personally serve guests fruit wine and sweets.It was a custom followed in the city to humble males during the marriage.But what disappointed Ulmer was that he didn’t get to kiss Ayana during the wedding because kissing on the lips in public was actually seen as obscene in this city. So, everyone was expected to keep their romantic and sexual life hidden from the public.And last but not least, Ulmer wished his grandmother was with him to see h

“How can you betray me like this, Ayana?” A loud voice reached everybody’s ears.Ulmer was very surprised to hear those words, but he also saw that everyone else at the table looked even more shocked and anxious.Many men entered the house, with a short-haired, long-bearded man entering the house first. He was wearing a brown uniform with star-badges, making Ulmer wonder if he was some sort of military or police or something.And he began to look at Ayana and Ulmer and saw that both of them were wearing the same golden rings. And his blood boiled immediately.“What is the meaning of this?” he shouted.“Senior Henry,” Dustin tried to calm him down. “Please don’t do this in front of our son-in-law.”“Don’t do what? I’m supposed to marry Ayana!” he shouted.“What do you mean?” Ulmer asked.“Don’t listen to his words, Husband,” Ayana quickly said. “He’s been chasing after me for years, trying to marry me, but I rejected him because he’s a pervert. If he wasn’t an officer, he would be in j

A few minutes passed since Henry and his men left.Dustin was definitely still anxious but he had to hurry to his restaurant as it was already seven o’clock by then. He forgot to take Ulmer with him.“I’ll go out and take a look around the neighborhood,” Ulmer said.Robin only allowed him to leave after he wore the local clothes so that others wouldn’t be able to easily tell if he was an outsider or not.On top of that, Robin told Kale to accompany Ulmer.Kale just nodded in return.“Why doesn’t he say anything?” Ulmer asked openly.“Uh, about that…” Robin smiled and said, “he can’t speak. He’s born that way.”“Oh…” Ulmer suddenly felt foolish for not approaching Kale to talk with him. Just because Kale was silent, he assumed that Kale didn’t want to speak with him.“But he can use sign language,” Robin added and then spoke with Kale using signs.Kale smiled back.“What did you just say?” Ulmer asked.“I told him he can introduce you to his friends,” Robin said. “He’s happy about it.”
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 12
“Dustin isn’t home, either, so he can lick Robin’s feet, too,” another man said, making the rest laugh even more.Ulmer stopped.Kale waved his hands in a cross-manner, telling him to don’t do anything stupid and just keep going.However, Ulmer turned around and walked toward them, looking at the one that just spoke, “Take back what you said.”“Or else what?” all of them stopped playing and surrounded him quickly.It was so obvious that this was their plan from the beginning. Kale quickly rushed away to ask help from the other adults around, but because of Henry, nobody helped him. Kale came back in about two minutes, and everybody except Ulmer was gone.And Ulmer had no injuries on his body or face.“Where did they go?” Kale asked in sign language.“They learned their mistake and apologized before leaving,” Ulmer said.Kale could see that the poker cards, water bottles, and meat packets were still there under the tree. Why would they leave these things here? It didn’t make any sense,

Dustin came home in the afternoon, looking half the man he was in the morning, in terms of happiness.Without Dustin saying anything, Ulmer understood the situation of the restaurant.“If this continues for another couple of days, we won’t be able to pay the rent,” Dustin was telling Robin and Ayana. “We’ll be forced to shut down the hotel business.”Their family was producing lots of vegetables and fruits. Their hotel business was a way for them to use those fruits and vegetables. If they couldn’t do that now, they’d have to sell them from the house itself.But who would come to their house and buy these things when nobody came to the hotel to eat food?In the end, they might be forced to throw away the extra vegetables and fruits.“It seems I might have to become a porter once again,” Dustin was telling Robin.Ayana heard that from outside and frowned.She came to her room and wrote a letter.Ulmer was sitting on the bed right now, and he could somewhat see what she was writing. Her

Ulmer, Ayana and everyone in the house ate the same food in the afternoon and at night because not a single customer came to their shop.Dustin and Robin felt so depressed and ashamed that they didn’t even come out of their room to eat. Ayana had to take the food to their rooms and make them eat.After they ate the food, Ayana stored some food in an advanced yet earthly refrigerator that was in the shape of a giant pot with doors and many compartments. Then, she tossed the rest of the food in the dustbin.There wasn’t a single street dog present in this neighborhood because Henry had his subordinates hunt every single one of them down. It was only the birds and squirrels that came to eat from the leftover food.At night, after Suki finished her reading, Ulmer asked her to tell him about Henry because he wanted to hear a child’s perspective.To his surprise, Suki told him about Henry’s role and authority as an officer. The gold-badged Senior Officers were ranked from one to five stars.

A few months later.Ben and Amelie not only started their business together but also got married, and Ivy as usual caused a lot of noise during the marriage, asking Ross Richard to give her son this and that.Ross had to give in to her demands because of his daughter Amelie.Ivy’s brother took some gold from her and started a restaurant business because Ulmer had commanded him to stop his finance business as he was sucking people’s blood with it.

“Your wife?!”“That girl who looks younger than Ruth is your wife?” Ivy quickly said. “Are you out of your mind, Ulmer?”“She’s 19,” Ulmer coldly glanced at her. “So, what’s the problem?”“T-That’s…” Ivy found her throat shaking. His gaze felt intimidating. “I-Isn’t there too much age gap between you two?”“What bullshit are you saying, Ivy?” Mollie snorted. “My grandson is not even thirty, and you say there’s an age gap? Can’t you see that they both look nice next to one another? Also, it’s actually nice if there's a five to six year gap between the husband and wife.”Mollie gently held Ayana’s cheeks and lifted up her head.“Where did you hide such a pretty girl all this time from us, Ulmer?” Mollie said. “You will get punished for this later.”“Ulmer always talks greatly about you, Grandmother,” Ayana said. “So, please forgive him this once.”“Hahaha,” Mollie laughed heartily. “Your wife is already defending you so much, Ulmer.

The news of so many Thorns dying did not get leaked in the underworld, much less to the common public.However, some of the topdogs in the underworld eventually heard of the heart-shaking news that more than half of the thorns died in the hands of someone called the Urban God.And the title Urban God started to be feared by those who have heard about it.Also, a new bounty appeared on the Urban God, whose name and face were kept hidden by the thorns on purpose.His current bounty was a quadrillion dollars, twice as much as the current world’s known wealth.The amount was so ridiculous and crazy that many bounty hunters thought it was just a fake bounty. A scam. A joke.But then there were those who believed that it could be real and started to investigate the name Urban God. However, most of them would give up on their search the more they learned about the recent history of the Urban God.A few weeks after Crimia was buried from the hidden face of the earth.Minerva had woken up, but

Some still stayed outside, afraid of the quake happening again.Around three in the night, Dark Monarch arrived at the Bronich city, but he was surprised to find out that the entire Crimia had been buried by mud. All the entrances were sealed off by mud.“What the hell just happened here in the time I was gone? Was he responsible for this?”Just then, he looked up into the sky.Miles high in the sky, Abbie was flying away with her mother’s body in her arms, her expression dark and desolate under moonlight.“Isn’t that…”Suddenly, immense pressure was put on his body.“Gravity Cage…” Ulmer appeared next to him.Dark Monarch’s body was crushed from every angle by pressure he had never experienced before. He screamed at the top of his lungs.“You should have never returned,” Ulmer did not spare even an inkling of mercy on him. “Gravity

“She’s going to live,” the royal healer, Irvi, an old lady with poisonous pimples all over her face, said. She was 120 years old but was still able to stand straight. However, her voice was not steady. She was observing Minerva’s pulse.Minerva was lying on the bed in the medical chambers not far from the royal palace.“However, her system has integrated with her body, so we can’t take it out,” Irvi said. “If we do it right now, she will die.”“Is it not possible to separate the system without killing her?” Ulmer asked.“It is, but that’s only possible when she overcomes the system?” Irvi responded. “The chances of that ever happening are slim.”Ulmer frowned but then said, “Do what you can to heal her.”“I will. That’s my job, after all,” Irvi said. “No matter how wicked a person may be, if they come to my doorstep, I will not turn my back toward them.”Ulmer slightly bowed his head to her and walked out onto the balcony of that building, where Minerva’s dad, Neodus was present.“I t

The vines suddenly dashed at Ulmer from behind.Ulmer didn’t even move an inch and stood unmoving.The vines rushed past him at a terrific speed and pierced Minerva’s body everywhere. She coughed out a lot of blood.“I didn’t want my blood on your hands,” she tried to smile despite the pain coursing through her body. “I’m… really sorry… for everything.”She was collapsing forward.Ulmer let go of the sword and held her shoulders, stopping her from falling to the ground.Minerva’s eyes began to turn completely dark. The vines that pierced her body began to turn direction and then pierced through Ulmer’s body from behind.Blood rushed to Ulmer’s mouth, but kept his mouth shut. Still, blood slowly leaked from a corner of his mouth.He sent a mental message to her. “It’s okay…”He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.Minerva’s eyes shed more tears, and the blackness in her eyes began to disperse slowly but surely.In a few moments, Minerva’s eyes closed.He could still feel her spi

Someone with whom he had gone shopping with? Someone who seemed so innocent and lovely when he first met her?Remembering the times when they both went to a jewelry shop, and she studded herself with all kinds of gold and acted like a royal made Ulmer laugh heartily back then.He thought he fell in love with the best girl there was.But look, what has become of her now?She was reduced to someone who would hypnotize a little girl in order to lure Ulmer’s relatives out of the house.Even though Ulmer was just standing, he felt his heart strings playing hard to the point they were hurting because he knew that the time was near.“U-Ulmer…” Minerva could feel his emot

The Drunken Disaster Dionysus, the Wild King Enkidu, the Snake-haired Perseus, the Moon Goddess Artemis, the Sun God Apollo, the War Goddess Ishtar, and the one standing in front of them all and more was the mighty, monstrous King of Heroes Gilgamesh who stood nearly six meters tall.Not one of them could be called anything less than a monster.They were all absolute powerhouses, who made a name for themselves around the world in their times.Some of their powers transcended common sense and logic.“How dare a mere artificial system holder stand in our path? Know your place, vermin!” Ishtar, the war goddess, who looked extremely seductive as well as scary, squinted her eyes, releasing a powerful wave of energy that was supposed to suppress her opponent.Ulmer felt goosebumps all over. “Whooo… that tingles.” He smiled with excitement. (She saw through my system with a glance. I don’t know who she is, but she’s very dangerous. It’s not just her….) His gaze fell on others. (They are all
