Chapter 110: The Birth of the School of Fast Eaters

Salov’s Land.
Remy, who was in a party of four, was hurriedly trying to cast heal on a warrior user named Corco.
“Holy power, please lend me your strength!”
[Heal.]
[Restores 25% of the HP of your specified target.]
The wounds that were littered all over Corco’s body were starting to heal.
“Ugh! These damned spiderwebs!”
The spiderwebs of the Salovs were extremely tough. It was one of the reasons why they were extremely hard to fight against.
The archer user quickly used his skill to fend off the monster’s attacks.
[Triple Shot.]
[Three arrows will be fired consecutively.]
Tak!
Tak!
Tak!
The arrow stuck on the body of the Salov! Before they knew it, Corco had already dwindled down and cut down the body of the Salov with his axe.
Slam!
“Kkiiiieeee!”
Slam!
The Salov died not long after.
“Hoo. That was really tough.”
Corco sighed deeply.
Remy’s party members were all at Lv200. If there were two Salovs that came out to fight with the four of them then the fight would still be ongoing. The only reason why the Salov was quite difficult to fight despite the fact that they were at the same level was because of their tough webs. Once they got caught in those webs then it would be extremely difficult to remove themselves from it. Remy had the ability to remove the web but her MP wouldn’t be able to keep up with the fight.
However, the EXP and rewards were extremely satisfying that they would still happily hunt those spiders even if they felt that they were walking on a tightrope every time they did so.
At that moment…
“Bbiiiiiiiiiiii!”
“A bird’s cry?”
The sound was not jarring or uncomfortable but it was so sudden that they couldn’t help but tilt their heads to follow the sound.
But they couldn’t help but to hold back their gasps. The cliffs surrounding the area, which was previously just the color of ordinary cliffs, suddenly turned black.
“Why did the cliffs suddenly become black?”
The archer user used his skills to look in the distance.
[Hawk’s Eye.]
[Vision will temporarily be twice as good as your normal vision.]
“Heok……?!”
The archer user stepped back as he trembled in fear.
“What’s wrong?”
The archer’s lips were quivering as he contemplated on what to say.
“It’s…… no…… bla……”
“Yes?”
“The cliffs did not become black! Those are all Salovs!”
“……heok?!”
“Kyaa!”
Each and everyone of them were taken by surprise.
The cliffs. The black thing that filled the cliffs are all Salovs?
It looked like the number of the monsters were in the hundreds.
Then, at that moment…
They saw a man running through the cliffs. The man was wearing a frying pan on his back together with a horned helmet on his head.
“……Cosplay?”
This was what they thought of since a lot of people were wearing the same thing.
“D, don’t tell me that he took all of those aggro?”
“Crazy…… That’s impossible.”
“I think that user is the real Frying Pan Killer?”
“Yes?”
Remy looked back at Corco when they heard his words.
“In the video of the Frying Pan Killer, he made a strange bird cry and drew the aggro of the surrounding monsters. The same is true right now……”
“Wow. I’m going to take a screenshot! But what the hell is that bird cry to draw aggro like this?”
Advertisement
It was truly an amazing aggro ability that was enough to break common sense.
What was more amazing was the fact that the man could easily slice through the spiderwebs with his sword all while being chased by a huge amount of Salovs. He did not even let a single attack lay on him.
“But what’s wrong with those mobs? You’re too naive……”
In all honesty, it did not make sense to draw the aggro of such a huge number of mobs. Meanwhile, the Frying Pan Killer went inside a cave.
“Ah. Maybe……!”
Corco looked as if he finally realized what the Frying Pan Killer was trying to do.
“Maybe there’s a small space in the cave where only one Salov can only get in?”
“A small space?”
“Yes. The user will first enter that small space. Then, a Salov will definitely follow him inside. Once a Salov enters that small space then the user will hunt it. And if it dies, another Salov will fill in the gap.”
“Oho. Then the time to look for mobs will definitely be reduced? Huh? But isn’t it impossible because of the mob’s body?”
“We can use Livis’ Corpse to make sure that the body will disappear right away for 1 hour.”
Livis’ Corpse was a scroll that users use when they hunt especially if they did not want to see any dead bodies littered around the place.
“Aha!”
“Huh? But, when you think about it again……”
Corco was astonished.
“I can’t believe that he’s trying to hunt hundreds of them in one go…… When you think about it, it doesn’t make sense either…… Doesn’t that person get tired? His HP won’t be able to hold out either.”
It was possible to hunt Salovs one by one in such a small space but it was only possible if there were around 5~10 Salovs. However, he’s hunting hundreds of Salovs just like that?
“It doesn’t even make sense for a single person to hunt hundreds of those monsters one by one……”
They all turned to look at the cave. All of them were wondering whether they could still be able to enter the cave with the amount of Salovs that entered. There were still a lot of them stuck near the entrance.
However, something more amazing happened.
“Heok……?”
The Salovs, who seemed to be unable to enter the cave, suddenly began to move again and flood inside.
‘That means that there’s an empty space so he can keep on hunting!’
All of the Salovs finally entered the cave.
They looked at it as they took their rest.
Then…
The Frying Pan Killer came out of the cave again. Then, he stretched himself and went back inside again.
“……OMG?!”
“I, impossible. He hunted hundreds of those within 20 minutes?!”
That’s impossible!
“Shall we go and take a look over there? It’s a good chance to go and get some screenshots too.”
Corco looked at him with admiration and surprise.
“That’s right!”
Just as they were about to move, a shadow was suddenly cast above them. All of them felt extremely uneasy beneath that shadow.
Then…
Puhaaa!
Puhaaa!
Spiderwebs wound their body up. They looked behind them and saw four Salovs.
The four Salovs took advantage of their blindspot and inattentiveness to sneak up on them and bind them with their spiderwebs!
They were all forced to log out!
“Ah, I’m so annoyed! It’s a relief that my level did not drop.”
Remy, or Hyun-ah, came out of the capsule and rubbed her hair in annoyance. Then, she suddenly thought…

“Ah, I still got the screenshot. Right?”
They weren’t able to get a glimpse of the events in the cave but there were still plenty of users who were dying to know and get a look at the Frying Pan Killer! What was more important was that the picture that she took was the picture of the Frying Pan Killer running with hundreds of Salovs after him.
She hurriedly posted the screenshot she took and shared it to the world.
***
Minhyuk, who was just checking his level, was smiling contentedly. He was already nearing Lv200.
He just went outside to draw the monsters inside so he could get the seeds that he needed. The moment the Salovs entered the cave, the Twin Headed Ogre, Red Troll and Wyvern all hunted them down. The Twin Headed Ogre was over Lv300 so it could deal with dozens of Salovs without breaking any sweat. And there were still other stronger monsters so the hundreds of Salovs were no match for them at all. In addition, since Minhyuk was the one who drew the aggro of the monsters, he was also able to get 10~20% of EXP since he contributed in the hunt. With just that 10~20% he was able to quickly level up.
What was more was that the EXP given when he fed the monsters allowed him to bomb his way up in his levels. And right now!
[You have acquired the Roasted Seaweed.]
[You have collected all of the ingredients and dishes in the Fantastic Home Cooked Dishes.]
“Kgghk!”
Minhyuk was so happy. He could now stop feeding the monsters in a frenzy. Now was the time for him to eat!
He quickly prepared the dishes using the ingredients that he had just acquired. He first boiled the doenjangjjigae in an earthen pot.
Then he cooked the deliciously seasoned spinach and bean sprouts. He prepared the garlic, sesame oil, salt and sesame seeds. These ingredients were essential to make a delicious seasoned vegetable dish. The sesame oil would tweak the bland taste of the vegetables and add a savory flavor while the crushed garlic would accompany and catch the soft taste of the vegetables and harmonize with the rest of the flavors of the dish. And the salt will add that salty flavor while the sesame seeds would emphasize the flavor of the sesame.
After he finished preparing the seasoned vegetables, he saw that the doenjangjjigae was now boiling. Then he took his spoon, scooped out a spoonful, blew on it to lower the temperature and sipped it all in one gulp.
“Slurp! Kya! This moderately spicy and savory flavor is the best!”
Minhyuk liked his doenjangjjigae on the spicier side. And his doenjangjjigae was more savory since he mixed half doenjang and half cheonggukjang in the soup.
Then, he began to grill the salted mackerel.
Sizzle!
He might be in big trouble if he grilled the salted mackerel wrongly. The point of this is to cook the flesh inside well. And once you cooked the outside to a crisp then it would be the best of the best!
After he finished cooking the salted mackerel, Minhyuk looked at the table that he had set.There were salted mackerel, seasoned spinach, seasoned bean sprouts, dried seaweed with nothing on it and roasted seaweed, and steamed eggs in an earthen pot.
“Kya!”
He couldn’t help but admire the table. Then, he opened the lid of the doenjangjjigae once more.
Shwaaaaa!
Steam rose up from the pot. The steam was already delicious in and on itself. Minhyuk took a spoon and tasted the doenjangjjigae first.
“Kghhk! Good, it tastes excellent!”
This was the taste that calls for rice. It was the savory and spicy doenjangjjigae! Then he scooped out a lot of doenjangjjigae on his pot. Tofu, zucchini, enoki mushroom, and other ingredients came with it. Then, he brought it near the rice and poured some soup over the rice. He then mashed the zucchini and tofu together with the rice and placed it in his mouth.
“Chew, chew. Good. It’s really good!”
He mumbled happily.
Then, he placed a seaweed on top of his rice and easily folded it in half. He quickly dipped it in soy sauce before placing it in his mouth. The crispy texture of the seaweed and the salty flavor of the soy sauce was truly excellent!
He couldn’t help but chuckle at the taste.
He stretched his spoon towards the soft steamed eggs next. Minhyuk blew softly at the yellow steamed eggs. Once he placed it in his mouth, he could taste the green onion from the soft and chewy steamed eggs.
“Wow. Isn’t this too awesome?”
Minhyuk, who was still reeling from the taste of the steamed eggs, tore the meat off of the salted mackerel. Then, he added it to a spoonful of hot rice. The steam was still rising rapidly from the rice. He carefully placed it on top of the piping hot rice and placed it in his mouth in one go!
“Chomp!”
The savory taste of the salted mackerel made the taste of the rice infinitely better. Then, he dipped it in soy sauce with wasabi and took another bite.
“Wow! It’s a rice thief! A rice thief, I say!”
That wasn’t the end.
He added steamed eggs over the rice again, mixed it well and placed the delicious combo in his mouth. The slightly salt steamed eggs and the piping hot rice combined to create an extremely pleasant taste.
The Food God’s home cooked set meal was extremely delicious!
He was filled with overwhelming admiration for the man who left it for him.
Minhyuk, who had finished eating all of the dishes in front of him, heard the notifications.
[You have eaten a God’s Dish.]
[You have leveled up.]
Minhyuk nodded his head when he heard the notifications. The level up might not have been much but it seemed like the rewards for this dish was focused on the EXP and items gained from feeding the monsters as well as the monster egg. However, Minhyuk still felt that he had received the best reward from the God’s Dish that he had eaten.
As he finished his food, Minhyuk felt that he might have forgotten something.
“Now, it’s a bit disappointing.”
He wanted to have something that was more delicious. Then, he looked around and saw the sleeping Chronicle!
When he asked the other monsters, the other monsters said that Chronicle tended to sleep a lot. When she fell asleep, sometimes it would take a week before she woke up.
Minhyuk quietly crept up towards the sleeping Chronicle.
***
Chronicle slowly woke up from her sleep.
When she saw that Minhyuk was plowing the fields vigorously to try and save the monsters, she gladly gazed at him and fell asleep without any worries.
Recently, she had slept more because she was hungry. She slept so deeply that no noise could ever rouse her from her sleep.
Chronicle, who was on the verge of waking up, heard a sound near her.
“Right, right. Good job, well done…… The wyverns should come closer.”
‘What are they doing?’
She listened in a daze as they worked somewhere in her vicinity. Then she heard the sound of something ripping.
“Keuhaha! The hotbar that’s heated with fire is really delicious!”
The voice was whispering but his words and joy were truly contagious.
“Let’s grill it one more time. Yes, yes. Be careful not to wake……”
Then, Chronicle woke up completely. The now awake Chronicle could see…
Minhyuk was holding a skewer with five hotbars on it while riding on a wyvern and roasting it on her own fire.
“……?”
“……”
“……?”
“……”
Minhyuk made eye contact with Chronicle. He looked at her silently while Chronicle also remained silent.
***
TL’s corner!!!
LOL. That’s so funny. I thought he was grilling it with the wyvern’s fire but he rode the wyvern and roasted the hotbar with Chronicle’s fire!!!! KEK.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

I am but Divine
Being a god is a dream. A very big, ambitious dream that probably no one has ever achieved. In the world of Taerrea, there were a set amount of gods that ruled over the world; the god of war, the god of the skies, the god the earth, etc. and that the general rule of thumb was that the numbers of the gods could not be added nor removed. That changed after one fateful event. Nemer, a Slayer, had died from a battle, and from a deal he made with a doubtedly wise god of wisdom and knowledge, Wize, he became the first ever lesser god.
