Chapter 106: Hungry Monsters

Translator: ChubbyCheeks

PR: MattForgenti

The Phoenix looked at Minhyuk in puzzlement. Meanwhile, Minhyuk despaired as he finally realized an unfortunate fact.

Why cant I see any black light?!

The Phoenix did not shine any color at all. And he wouldnt be able to eat it if it did not shine a black color.

What was worse was that the Phoenixs condition was almost as bad as the monsters lying around. It was so thin that it looked like only its bones were left. It looked like it was about to collapse any time soon.

Are you the descendant of Allen, the Food God?

The name of the Food God that existed in the past! It seems like he was named Allen.

Minhyuk nodded his head.

I see.

The Phoenix stared at him quietly. It saw the frying pan on his back and the chocopie on his hand. Even if he was in front of it, he was still nibbling on something.

Im the Phoenix Lord, the protector of this monsters paradise. Chronicle.

A monsters paradise.

However, looking at the state it was in right now, it did not seem like it was a paradise at all. Perhaps it was a paradise for the hungry.

By any chance, is Chronicle-nim the subordinate of the Food God-nim?

Chronicle shook her head when she heard Minhyuks question.

Dont compare me with him. He is my king. Also, he has now entered his eternal rest.

Yes?

Minhyuk couldnt understand what he meant by eternal rest. He was quite sure that the presence standing above Chronicle would have known the whereabouts of Gods dishes.

But now he had been told that he was dead.

However, theres still a way to wake him up. My king is still waiting for the day that his close friends, the Food Gods, descendant came. My king left me with the power to wake him up.

Chronicle said this as she looked at Minhyuks eager eyes.

This land was once the paradise for monsters. Monsters originally couldnt socialize and live with the rest of their race. However, theres a law here that prevented us from eating and attacking each other. In addition, we could get food from the seeds so we could easily get along with each other and even socialize with the weak outside this land. The Food God and his apostle were the ones who managed this place. The apostle planted the seeds and nurtured them to bear fruits. And through the nutrients from the cliffs, they once again bore seeds. The Food God would then cook us a dish. The dish was named Wouldnt Get Hungry for 50 years and gave us the power to not get hungry for 50 years. But not long ago, that power had run out. And just like that, four months have passed. And just before we die of hunger, you came right on time.

Minhyuk nodded his head.

A dish that wont let you get hungry for 50 years! What a great dish.

However, the Food God and his apostle had long left this world. And he had now appeared as the new Food God.

A notification rang.

Ring!

Along with the completion of the previous quest, his quest window refreshed and popped out once more.

Minhyuk was completely shocked when what he expected really came true.

There was only one reason for his shock.

Im already so busy eating to the point of dying

And as if Chronicle expected this answer, she said

The Food God said Im sure hell tell you that hes so busy eating to the point of dying.

As expected, hes the only one who understands me.

Minhyuk was extremely excited to find that someone understood and sympathized with him.

But the Food God not only loves to be full and satiated, he also loves the feeling of cooking delicious food for others. And now, you have the chance to feel that joy. Right? And if you feed us, you will also get something that will extremely satisfy you.

Satisfy me?

Chronicle just replied to him with silence.

At this time, Minhyuk noticed

It seems like cooking ingredients will come out!

Then, Chronicle spoke again.

My king told me that he had one big fight with the Food God in his lifetime. And not long after that, he learnt of the sad news about the Food God. He was extremely sad and despondent.

The two of them must have been extremely close, huh? So why did the two of them fight?

Suddenly, Chronicles face was filled with undisputed anger. Her body that was too weak to move was suddenly covered with blazing flames!

Crackle, crackle, fwoosh!

The Food God stole my eggs.

Minhyuk tilted his head in thought.

Huh?

And when my king asked him in a fit of rage he said Oh, I made it into jangjorim and ate it. It was delicious!. If I ever meet the Food God in hell, I will not let him go!

Minhyuk felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Ha, hahaha. H, how can he do that? How can he make your eggs into jangjorim Th, that Bad person!

Boy, Im glad that you understand us too. Oh my god. Boy, you(?) look much better than that crazy bastard, Food God, that took my eggs and made them into jangjorim.

He, hehe.

Minhyuk had no choice but to laugh at her words. If he said the wrong words then he would be forced to log out by Chronicle! After all, the Phoenix Lord Chronicle was estimated to be at Lv450.

That wasnt even the main point. The Phoenix Lord was a legendary monster. It was a monster that had never been discovered by any other user in the country.

As you can see, there are a lot of monsters that are starving to death. I can only give you two weeks. Keep in mind that if youre not able to fill their fullness stat to 50% then you will fail this quest. And you can only obtain the food supplies and the seeds to feed the monsters from the land of Salov that is connected to this place.

Chronicle told him this as he nodded his head along. Then she continued to say

You should tell your apostle where we are and save the monsters from this hunger.

I dont have an apostle.

Minhyuk shook his head as he told her the same thing he told to Boroto.

Chronicle looked shocked and in disbelief from his words.

Y, you dont have an apostle? What are you saying

She had no choice but to be shocked. In the past, the Food God and his apostle were always together when they came to this paradise. The apostle would gather the ingredients while the Food God would cook for them. There wasnt enough time even if the two of them moved together.

But hes saying that he has no apostle? The apostle was a man of great abilities and he was able to easily obtain ingredients, though? Does this mean that the Food God would collect the ingredients himself?

Even if the apostle was with him right now, it would already be a hard feat to feed all of these monsters. In fact, Chronicle would already be grateful if he was able to fill 50% of their fullness stat.

The apostle and the Food God are not mature enough. Especially the apostle.

But then, Minhyuk said

I have the abilities and power of the apostle so you dont have to worry.

Th, the apostles power? How did you?

The apostle was clearly a brilliant and talented man.

Hes saying that he has the power of the apostle?

Boy, dont tell me?

Thats right. I can do it all

Did you eat your apostle?

I wont eat a person!

Minhyuk shouted at her in a fit of rage but Chronicle still looked at him with disbelief.

Youll be doing the work thats supposed to be done by two people No matter how capable you are, this is still

Chronicle thought that they would starve to death.

She soon curled up her huge body to preserve her powers.

Im hungry. Please dont talk to me at the moment.

Yes. I understand.

Minhyuk nodded his head at her as he moved along. As Chronicle watched his back as he walked forward, her stomach grumbled.

Grooooowl!

Legendary monsters were also weak in front of their boundless hunger.

Chronicle soon fell asleep. This was also a way to forget her hunger.

Jihye, Seoktae and Jisoo were sitting together in a cafe.

Seoktae sighed.

We cant find him like this. Almost every single person in Athenae is wearing a horned helmet and a frying pan on their backs.

Jihye and Jisoo both nodded their heads in agreement. Meanwhile, Jihye was quite expectant since Yoon Chan said that he would arrive here soon.

Rovan-nim was the only person who had been in contact with Minhyuk until recently

Perhaps they would be able to know why Minhyuk disappeared and did not contact them for so long through Rovan?

Just as they were thinking of these things, the door to the cafe opened.

Clack

Yoon Chan came inside of the cafe.

Hello.

Welcome. Rovan-nim.

The three of them warmly welcomed Yoon Chan. They had often seen each other in real life and were quite familiar with each other.

Yoon Chan ordered a drink before sitting down with them. Jisoo picked his mobile phone up as if he was not interested in whatever conversation that they were going to have. Seoktae looked at him fiercely but soon sighed in defeat. It wasnt worth it. If it werent for Jihyes sake he also would have cut off anything related to Minhyuk after what he had done to them.

Its quite shocking to me. Minhyuk-nim is friends with our guilds executives

These people were Versals legends! And they were gathered here right now and he still did not know what kind of legend they would be going to write in Athenae.

What about Minhyuk? Is he doing well?

Yoon Chan folded his arms and Jisoo who looked like he wasnt interested silently placed his phone down as he looked at him.

I dont want to say this but

The three people stared at him seriously.

I dont think hes like a human at all

Hmm?

Huh?

Yes?

The three of them were taken aback with his words.

You see, we were hunting together in a party. Suddenly, he said that he was thirsty so he quickly pulled out 4 gatorade. Then he one shotted the drinks and said Ah, my throat is finally moistened..

4 cans?

No. Its the 1.5L bottles.

?

When they finally registered what he said, they all stared blankly at Rovan.

No, isnt that something impossible?

Yoon chan nodded his head at Seoktaes words.

He even said that he wanted to go to the Shrieking Hills because he wanted to eat ducks

?

You know the magic duck right? We killed 40 of those ducks and he cooked them into spicy stir-fried bulgogi and even made fried rice. Then he told me this when I wanted to get another spoonful Youre supposed to let go of your spoon once youre full. Its not good to overeat..

Keok?

The three of them were shocked and in disbelief. Minhyuk had been quite gluttonous even when they were young but it was not to this point.

What happened to him?

Jihye wanted to know the answer to this question.

Minhyuk-nim was very polite and has a good personality. So I wanted to invite him to our guild but

His words made Jihyes heart thump faster. However, Yoon Chan shook his head in disappointment.

He said that it was good for him to be alone right now since theres still a lot of food in the world that he wanted to eat.

His whisper is still off?

Yes.

Yoon chan nodded his head as the three of them sighed together in unison.

Jisoo looked like he was interested now. Even though he pretended that he did not care he still wanted to see him again.

What in the world happened to that punk

Seoktae mumbled to himself as the four of them fell into silence.

Then

Huh? Jihye-ah, look at the guild chat.

The GC? Why?

When Jisoo told her to look through their guild chat, she quickly opened her phone and checked her guild chat window.

Huh?

Everyone suddenly became interested.

The Legend Guild wanted to send their first signal to the world by successfully clearing and breaking that dungeon and uploading their videos on Ztube. And right now, Abel, their guild member with the legendary class Informant told them that he found a way for them to clear the dungeon.

The reason why they needed to have an excellent buffed dish was because the dungeon would only allow a three-people-party to go in at a time. And if one person from the three-people-party were to fall because they did not have enough buffed dishes then the dungeon would be extremely hard to attack.

The less people to clear the dungeon, the more amazement the people would feel. Doing it this way meant that they would not be able to push ahead and clear it with numbers.

Much better than the buffed dish made by the Twilight Chef with A-ranked ingredients?

Of course this was just a reward from a hidden quest but it was something that was perfect for them.

She looked at the guild chat window with great expectations.

TLs corner!!!

I bet one chapter that they would probably meet each other through Boroto or she would get some news from Boroto about Minhyuk. Kek.
