Description: This is a spear that is filled with love and care for his father, created by Bennid for Ben. His love is carefully engraved on the spear with the word ‘Ben’.
It might seem like an insignificant spear. However, Ben had kept and used this spear for decades.
Hyemin’sDaddy looked at this spear and grabbed it tightly with his hands. He had a daughter named Hyemin, who had leukemia. Hyemin was the apple of Hyemin’sDaddy’s eyes. He felt his heart break every time he saw the child get weaker by the day.
‘God, why did you give me such an ordeal? Do not take this poor child, take me instead.’
Every day, he prayed to God like this. That was just how parents were. That was why Hyemin’sDaddy could understand how important this spear was to Ben.
‘And that’s how important His Majesty is to him too.’
After all, Ben was willing to put down this spear for Minhyuk. Hyemin’sDaddy could understand that too. After all, it was also thanks to Minhyuk that he could see Hyemin live a healthy and happy life.
Hyemin’sDaddy wanted to repay Minhyuk. He would do anything for Minhyuk, even helping the boy rise and become a God. He also wanted to make a wonderful spear for Ben, so that he would not regret putting down the spear that his son gave him, for Minhyuk.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
[God of Blacksmiths’ Skill has been triggered!]
The God of Blacksmiths’ Skill’s level was increased by +6. With the triggering of this skill, a red current of energy appeared inside the smithy and surrounded Hyemin’sDaddy’s body.
The items that Hyemin’sDaddy intended to utilize for this spear was none other than ‘God’s Tree’ and ‘God’s Ore Everedium’. Of course, both were ‘God-grade’ artifact materials that Hyemin’sDaddy had never dealt with in his life.
Hyemin’sDaddy began to hammer out the impurities from the ore.
Claaaaang—! Claaaaaaang—!
The clangs of metal resounded in the area as a loud roar erupted from deep within the ore.
“Graaaaaaaaaaaa!”
According to the description of God’s Ore Everedium, the ore contained the soul of a monster that once terrorized the world. The roar belonging to this monster, caused blood to flow from Hyemin’sDaddy’s eyes, ears and nose.
[Your HP is decreasing rapidly!]
However, it was manageable.
“Great Heal.”
“Great Heal.”
“Great Heal.”
Because the priests that Minhyuk had kept on standby were all surrounding Hyemin’sDaddy.
‘I will make sure to repay you.’
For the one that saved his beloved daughter, who was the apple of his eye, and for those that believed in that person and followed him, Hyemin’sDaddy would give it his all and beat the ore as hard as he could.
Claaaaaaang—! Claaaaaaaaaang—!
“Wow…”
“Crazy…”
“So, that’s Hepas’ descendant…”
Each time Hyemin’sDaddy beat the anvil with his hammer, a white light would flash and make his HP fall. Blood also continued to flow from his eyes, nose, and ears. Even the veins on his arms bulged and turned red from the roars of the monster that slumbered in the ore.
Blink—
By now, Hyemin’sDaddy’s gaze had turned into a glare. Even if his body recovered from a heal, his mental strength did not. It was already taking a toll on him. However, his ears were deaf to the sounds of the world. His now bloodied and red vision was solely focused on the ore that he was handling.
“Ha! Ha!”
Claaang—! Claaaaang—!
Everyone was transfixed by Hyemin’sDaddy and what he was doing. Even Saintess Loyna, the popes and the priests around him could not take their eyes off of him.
Rumbleeee!
The ground shook and the skies roared.
‘What is he?’
‘He can even make the ground and the sky roar and tremble.’
Then Loyna realized. She turned to look at one person, only to see that he was looking at Hyemin’sDaddy with a soft and gentle smile on his face. He was none other than Beyond the Heavens’ King, Minhyuk. Minhyuk was looking at Hyemin’sDaddy, truly believing that he would be able to make it.
“Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!”
A loud roar erupted and sent Hyemin’sDaddy flying back, his back slamming into the wall behind him.
“Urk…!”
The priests immediately healed and cured his injuries, though when Hyemin’sDaddy stood up, he was bent over from the impact before. That was when his eyes met Minhyuk’s own.
‘Don’t worry.’
‘I trust you.’
The two trusted each other. The popes’ mouths dropped open in awe. Even Pope Carunu could not help but smile softly at the scene, ‘It’s a good thing that I came to Beyond the Heavens.’
Why was Beyond the Heavens Kingdom developing day by day? It was because of the deep bond between the king and his vassals. At that moment, Pope Carunu thought that he finally understood why Saintess Loyna cared for and treasured Food God Minhyuk dearly.
Vwoooooooooong—
A blast of red energy appeared in the air and began to spin fiercely. As Hyemin’sDaddy continued to endure and work hard despite the never-ending pain that was wreaking havoc throughout his body, the notifications rang in his head.
[Your concentration has reached the pinnacle!]
[Even the Gods are surprised by your concentration!]
[God of Blacksmiths Hepas is in awe of your amazing concentration!]
[All of your stats will increase by +5!]
[You have activated the skill: Unwavering and Resolute Blacksmith!]
[Your mental fatigue has disappeared. All of your stats have increased by 24%. Your DEX has increased by 28%. Your skills’ levels have increased by a small amount!]
With those notifications, Hyemin’sDaddy’s movements grew more sophisticated and faster. Hyemin’sDaddy’s muscles bulged and moved with every hammering until he finally finished the tip of the spear. Even then, he did not stop, immediately moving to make the body of the spear. As if on cue, sharp branches stretched out and stabbed Hyemin’sDaddy all over the moment he touched God’s Tree.
“Keuaaaaaaaack!”
[Your HP is decreasing rapidly!]
[Your body has become rigid and stiff!]
[Your HP has dropped below 10%!]
Even if he had the support of the priests and the popes, they would not be able to do anything if Hyemin’sDaddy’s HP turned zero.
Thud—
The hammer in Hyemin’sDaddy’s hand fell down as his body turned rigid in an instant. Everyone that watched him gulped dryly in nervousness. Then, they watched as Hyemin’sDaddy picked up his hammer with trembling hands. There was no turning back, all that was left for him was to continue moving forward.
Suddenly, a thick branch appeared from the God’s Tree and wrapped around his body. The branch tightened its grip on his body and tried to squeeze his neck. Seeing that, the popes and Saintess Loyna became flustered.
“Our powers can’t release him…?”
“He’s the only one that can cut down that branch.”
Hyemin’sDaddy, who was being squeezed by the branch, moved and exerted his powers.
[You have activated the skill: Clueless Blacksmith!]
[Nothing will be able to interfere with your production for an entire minute!]
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
The branches that were wrapped around his body tightly, suddenly disappeared as his skill cut them down. Hyemin’sDaddy’s eyes glinted sharply as he used God’s Tree to create the body of the spear. God’s Tree was a material that was incredibly white and pristine.This white wood was now being made into the body of the spear.
The production process might seem to be long. However, it was a process that had already been reduced by 80%, thanks to the increase in Hyemin’sDaddy’s crafting speed. And since 80% of the time had been reduced, the gluing process had been significantly reduced. Hyemin’sDaddy was able to connect the blade and the body of the spear in an instant. Then, he added the red cloth that Spear God Ben had always tied around the tip of his spear to complete the artifact. Then…
Baaaaaaaaaaaang—
A huge pillar of light appeared and struck down from the sky above them. At the same time, notifications rang loudly and continuously in Hyemin’sDaddy’s ears.
[You have made the God Piercing Spear.]
[The God Piercing Spear is God-rank.]
[‘Anonymous’ has been announced to the entire continent for your achievement in creating a spear closest to God.]
[The God of Blacksmiths’ Skill has leveled up.]
[You will now be able to make better artifacts.]
[You have gained 100 DEX.]
[You have gained 200 REP.]
[You have gained 10,000 AP.]
[You have received 300,000,000 EXP as a special reward.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[…leveled up.]
[Your ‘passion’, ‘love’ for crafting, and your ‘dedication’ to your king has been poured into the spear that was created solely for Spear God Ben.]
[You are God of Blacksmiths Hepas’ descendant.]
[You overcame your limits and reached a new level.]
[Your probability of creating God-rank artifacts has increased by 40%!]
[Your probability of producing God-rank artifacts has increased to 50%. This will last for a week.]
[Thanks to the effects of the gamjatang, your probability of producing a God-rank artifact has increased to 200%!]
[The effects have overlapped!]
[The God of Blacksmiths is looking at you with a pleased smile.]
[The God of Blacksmiths increases your probability of creating God-rank artifacts by 200%!]
[Plenty of Gods have started to pay attention to you.]
[Something surprising has happened!]
[The Absolute Gods have started to pay attention to you!]
Plenty of the Gods that ruled the world were watching Hyemin’sDaddy. The reason?
[The Gods are curious about you, who overcame his own limits and created a God-rank artifact!]
That was right. The truth was, by his own strength, Hyemin’sDaddy was truly incapable of producing God-rank artifacts. However, Minhyuk’s dish, the popes, the priests, the Saintess, and Hyemin’sDaddy’s firm determination to somehow repay Minhyuk, had all contributed and created this result.
[Something special might happen to you.]
Those notifications rang in Hyemin’sDaddy’s ears.
Meanwhile, the popes, the Saintess and the priests could not take their eyes off of him and the spear in his hand. The spear was made with a beautifully crafted blade and a body made with pristine white wood that was engraved with the word ‘Ben’. Hyemin’sDaddy gasped, the muscles in his arms bulging as he grabbed the beautiful spear tightly.
Even the hundreds of thousands of people, including the executives and Named NPCs of Beyond the Heavens that rushed to the source of the pillar of light, could not take their eyes off of Hyemin’sDaddy’s cool figure. In fact, the Absolute Gods were still watching Hyemin’sDaddy, who took one step at a time as he moved to do what he needed to do next.
Now, Hyemin’sDaddy had gained the title of someone that had made a ‘God-rank’ artifact and the very first blacksmith at that too. What he did next was simple. He approached the young man in front of him, knelt down on one knee, and presented the spear that he made, to his benefactor and his king, Minhyuk.
“This humble servant dedicates this spear to you, Your Majesty!!!”
Hyemin’sDaddy was very clever and quick-witted. He was aware that the popes, the priests, the Saintess, and hundreds of thousands of people and Named NPCs were watching his every move. What he wanted to do here was to show his eternal loyalty and promote his king’s greatness and majesty.
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
The impact of his actions was huge. It was showing them that the God of Blacksmiths made this spear for Minhyuk, and Minhyuk alone.
Minhyuk looked down at Hyemin’sDaddy.
“Thank you,” Minhyuk’s soft and gentle voice rang in everyone’s ears.
He made a God-rank spear just for his king?! This was something that they showed at a time when many of the Gods were watching. Then, a petal suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the spear.
[One of the Absolute Gods, the one that loves cooking, praises the bond between the king and his vassal.]
[The consumable artifact God Piercing Spear’s maintenance time has increased by ten minutes!]
Immediately after that, dozens of petals fell down from the sky and landed on the spear.
[One of the Absolute Gods, the one that loves helping others, praises…king and his vassal.]
[The consumable artifact God Piercing Spear’s maintenance time has increased by ten minutes!]
[One of the Absolute Gods, the one that rules over the dead, praises…king and his vassal.]
[The consumable artifact God Piercing Spear…]
The popes, Saintess Loyna, and the priests knelt down in reverence as they watched the Gods’ praises land on the spear. Even the citizens, troops, and players of Beyond the Heavens that saw this scene all knelt down on one knee.
The sight of hundreds of thousands of people kneeling down in front of the two was a magnificent and spectacular sight to behold. They all watched as the man that created the God-rank artifact politely and carefully dedicated the weapon that he created to his king, who was smiling softly at him.
At the same time, the greatest and most beautiful flower fell down from the sky and landed gently on the spear.
[The greatest God, the God that rules over all creations, praises the bond between the king and his vassal.]
[The praises of the Absolute God and the Greatest God dwell in the God Piercing Spear!]
[A change has occurred in the God Piercing Spear at the appearance of the Greatest God’s praise!]
[The God Piercing Spear has changed into a semi-permanent weapon!]
Minhyuk, who was looking at Hyemin’sDaddy, accepted and checked the details of the God Piercing Spear.
