The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 23
Later that day, exactly four customers came to the restaurant. All of them were old people who had grown accustomed to eating in this place.And all of them gave excellent reviews, and when they went home, they told their family members about the new dishes available in the restaurant. Their words made people drool.Though nobody came to the restaurant straight away, the incident that was going to take place that night would change everything.At night.Ulmer told Dustin, “I’ll be here, so you guys go home.”“No, I’ll be here. You should go home because Ayana will be waiting for you,” Dustin told him.“Uh, it’s fine, Father-in-law,” Ulmer said. “For this one night, I’ll be here.”“Are you sure?”“Yes.”“Since you insist on doing this… stay here, but not past ten o’clock,” Dustin said.Ulmer nodded.Dustin and Robin then took some food and went home.About two hours later. It was nearing ten o’clock, and most people in the neighborhood had long shut their doors and were probably sleepi

“Hallowed Strike!”The armored knight swiftly slashed the long sword with a double-handed move, unleashing a blue flame that cut through the air and earth alike and struck Ulmer in the blink of an eye.It was supposed to slice through him and then cut the restaurant asunder.However, the fire slash somehow vanished before it hit Ulmer, leaving the knight utterly puzzled.The knight’s expression changed. “What did you do?”“That was dangerous,” Ulmer said. “How could you use an attack like that in a neighborhood where people live?”“If you don’t want to talk about it, then I’ll force you to show it again,” he slashed his sword again. “Hallowed Strike!”Ulmer didn’t even raise his hand, and the flame slash disappeared just before it hit him.Though the knight had seen it for a second time, he couldn’t understand how Ulmer did it. He had never seen anything like it, after all.“What the hell?” he frowned. “Are you using some kind of an ancient artifact? Are you a Systemo?”“Systemo? What

“Twisting Launch of Exalted Phoenix Flame!” He swirled the long sword, creating a huge tunnel-shaped fire that flew into Ulmer like a living, breathing, and screaming phoenix!“Whoa!” Ulmer raised his hand and punched the phoenix flame, completely blasting it away in all directions.It sent a strong heat wave in every direction, making the walls and the ground crack from heat. Even the water in the stone tubs boiled.“That was hot!” Ulmer was blowing his hand.Mobel looked astonished. (Did he just punch my phoenix flame? How is that possible? My flames can’t be fought that way.) He had never seen someone fight his flames like they were nothing. “W-What system do you have?”“Why would I tell you something that’d better your chances of winning this fight?” Ulmer said. “But man, your flame attack was no joke. My hand still feels hot. It feels so much worse than when you touch hot cooking pots.”Mobel felt his ego hurting greatly because his phoenix flame attack was being compared to the
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 26
Sixty percent of the food they made was sold the other day, so on this day, they prepared for only a little more than that, thanks to Dustin’s optimism.Even Ulmer said only sixty percent of the previous day should be cooked, but Dustin said that more people could come.And he was right as well as wrong.Because more people did come. In fact, a heck of a lot came to their restaurant. Too many to simply sit and eat in the restaurant. Ayana also had to come to serve the increased customers and keep up with the demand.And every single one of them was talking with Ulmer and asking him how he managed to fight off a knight!Their words shocked Dustin and Robin, but Ayana was surprised as much. Ever since she knew that Ulmer had 850 gold in his account, she guessed that he might be a system user, though she didn’t ask him about it.People asked Ulmer if he defeated the knight, and he told them that the knife just left. They took his words as if the knight got scared of Ulmer and left.“He s
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 27
It was the busiest morning Dustin and Robin had experienced in a long, long time. They didn’t have the food to serve anymore, but the people just wouldn’t leave. They kept talking to him about this and that.Their excitement was understandable, but Ulmer had grown tired by the afternoon. And so did Ayana and her parents.They had to close the restaurant at noon and go home.Many people greeted and talked with them on their way home, and it didn’t really give a pleasant feeling for Ulmer anymore because these same people completely ignored Dustin and his family until today. Now that they knew Ulmer was a Systemo, they didn’t care about Henry anymore.Once they got home, Dustin had to tell everyone to give them some time to rest. If he hadn’t said those words, those people probably wouldn’t have let the Revers family be.Dustin closed the door and lastly entered the home.Everyone was sitting on the ground, with Suki and Kate smiling brightly as they sat on both sides of Ulmer, grabbing
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 28
Ulmer and others rushed out of the house, and four flying chariots came down a smoky sky-road on a starlit night.Even the horses were decorated with cloth and gold ornaments, for all the chariot riders were High Knights.All the four of them were full-armored with gold and silver gear that made them look awing as well as intimidating.All of them had string-like feathers that were glowing in bright gold color like the brush of a painter.And their helmets and armor also had crystalline structures that covered their joints. These people did not have a single weak spot to exploit.Just their presence alone was enough to send shivers down the spines of everyone in the Revers family, except for Ulmer.Suki and Kate didn’t even dare to come out. They stood by the door and watched agape as the chariots stopped midair above the lawn of the Revers household.One of them jumped down and landed in the garden ever so silently, despite wearing heavy armor.Ulmer clenched his fist, ready to fight
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 29
Ulmer didn’t say ‘Lord Dracarius’ but only ‘Dracarius.’Whether that was on purpose or not, the knights did not like it. They were more upset about that than the fact that Ulmer refused to join Dracarius’ side.Dustin quickly came to Ulmer and whispered, “It’s Lord Dracarius.”“The Revers family is no longer part of the noble family,” Nirvan said with a cold expression. “You are not allowed to call Lord Dracarius without honorifics. For disrespecting the lord, according to the moral code 4242, you are punishable by forty floggings.” He brought his hand to his right.One of the knights from above threw their whip, and it fell accurately in Nirvan’s hand.“Do you want to receive forty floggings?” Nirvan asked. “Or do you want me to talk about the fact that you let two criminals escape?”“I won a challenge agaisnt the night that came last night,” Ulmer replied. “By doing so, I earned the freedom for those criminals. That’s why you cannot punish me according to your law.”Nirvan smirked.
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 30
The next morning.Revers Joint was opened as usual, and many customers visited the shop. They were more interested in the news than the food.“Is it true that four knights came to your house last night?”“Did your son-in-law agree to work under the noble then?”“It’s a great offer, so he must have taken up that offer with both hands, I’m sure.”“But is it true that your son-in-law got flogged yesterday? Is that why he didn’t come?”“He’s okay, isn’t he?”Lots of questions were asked, but neither Dustin nor Robin gave them straightforward answers.At Dustin’s home.Suki and Kate were both studying together. Suki was reading out loud, while Kate was writing with both hands.Ulmer had never seen someone write with both hands at the same time. Also, Kate was writing different things in two different books.“What are you writing?” Ulmer asked him.Kate said something in sign language which Suki didn’t understand.“So, you remember things by repeatedly writing about them, huh…” Ulmer smiled

EPILOGUE
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. His wife didn’t like it and went back to her home, but she would eventually return to his side a few years later, after her mother would die.Rick Orsini’s right-hand man, Lexor, was sitting alone on the rooftop of a big hotel, reading the online news on his tablet.“Someone called Urban God joined the Underworld Kings competition?” Lexor raised his eyebrows. “If he’s the real deal, no one will be able to stop him.”Underworld Kings was a world-wide martial arts competition where people with all kinds of superpowers competed, with loose rule

“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. She’s not just beautiful but also smart. I think it’s

CHAPTER 478
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

At around two in the night, the vibrations stopped, and the people finally were able to breathe freely.Many of them went back into their homes and slept. 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

CHAPTER 474
Minerva thought she could kidnap Ulmer’s family but now realized that she was the one who was tricked by him.He was already well prepared for her.And he wasn’t going to let her harm his family twice.However, now that Ulmer was looking up at her, both sadness and anger filled his eyes.What has become of his ex-girlfriend? 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

CHAPTER 473
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
