Chapter 44
"What is that?"
"Oh . "
Marie proudly held out what she was holding . It was a simple silver pendant with a green gem in the middle .
"It's the 'Seal of Jade' . This was what I had . . "
Marie then took off the pendant she was wearing . It looked similar, but it was made out of wood with amber in the center .
"I didn't even get to buy it yet, but I was given the seal that's three ranks higher . "
"Does it represent your rank?"
"YEAH!" Marie shouted and changed the pendant . The change was immediate . The green light shining from the jade was overwhelming . That's when Dohyuk realized her iris color was same as the pendant she was wearing . From orange, her iris turned green . Along with that, the equipment she was wearing changed as well .
"So…" Dohyuk began, "Are we ready now?"
"Oh, y-yes . Here's your payment . "
She nodded as she opened up her trade cart .
"Here . "
-Current coins: 1901040
"Oh, and I can now handle items up to AA rank… thanks to you . "
"Is S above that?"
"Y-yes . I would need to climb to a higher rank to trade for S rank though," Marie said . According to the contract, Marie was bound to give Dohyuk the base price, and she would be giving up most of the profit .
"And I think I can give out one item from to A rank for free . "
"Free?"
Marie nodded, "I-it's my way of saying thank you and asking you to keep the contract for the future…"
Dohyuk then glanced over items that Marie showed to him . Then he asked, "You don't need to answer me if you don't know, but-"
"Yes?"
"Do you know where those gods gain their power?"
Marie was puzzled by the unexpected question, but she answered, "Uh… I heard they get the power from their admirers . "
" . . . Even without having them as followers?"
"Huh? Erm… I think so?" Marie answered hesitantly .
"I heard that if a god, or any god for that matter, wants to gather power, they need to spread their fame or achievements or legends so that people can admire them… and be awestruck, I should say . I heard that gives them power . "
Marie then seemed to be interested in her own story .
"I mean, most of the recent gods have similar stories . I didn't hear any spectacular ones . They all just fought someone, killed someone, and so forth . "
Dohyuk understood now . If being awestruck and admiring was the origin of the power, it was understandable as to why he had earned the power when he fought against the god . There were more people around him . And now, even though there was no one around-
< the="" 1st="" chapter="">>
It was the story that was complete when Dohyuk sliced off Aruga's head . Dohyuk now knew how this record was used . This was a story of a legend, written to tell people of one's tale and gather admiration . The people that witnessed the fight were expelled, but they were still alive .
'And they will spread the story . '
Dohyuk's story, or the one that no one even dreamed about .
-Faith: 4021
He now understood why his rating was still going up . Dohyuk then picked out an item .
"I'll have this . "

"This?" Marie asked .
It was on the affordable side from the list of items that Marie could give out, and the rating wasn't that spectacular . And there was only one option .
Crazy lunch box(Lv . 11)
"This… it's not really a great option . "
The effect was to make the user's mouth and stomach bigger, comparable to the size of the dimensional space, to be able to consume a large amount of food and preserve it . However, one could only 'swallow' with it .
"I just use it as a backpack or something like that . "
There were better items to store things for that purpose .
"I did hear someone used this to imprison an enemy but… isn't it useless in your case?"
"Yeah . " Dohyuk agreed . But still, he asked, "Are there any other items with the same option? I will purchase them . "
"WHAT?"
Marie was shocked, but Dohyuk did not change his mind . So with the 'discounted' price, Dohyuk spent almost 600 thousand coins to purchase similar items, all with the option, 'Crazy lunch box' .
"T- . . thank you . "
These were items that would normally never be sold . Marie wasn't sure if she should be happy or not .
"Oh, and-"
Dohyuk took the glass bottle out from his pocket .
"Can you purchase this too?"
She activated her now green examination eye . She knew right away that it was a Godly Item .
"O-of course!"

"You don't need to pay me much for this . "
"NO! Of course not . I'm now a Jade-rank merchant!"
Marie then received the glass bottle . Dohyuk immediately saw Marie open her eyes wide in shock . He could easily guess that some words were now popping up in front of her .
"He-"
"Huh?"
"HEEEEEEEEYAK!!!"
She let go of the bottle, throwing it away frantically . Dohyuk quickly snatched it back .
"Wh"
Before Dohyuk could speak, Marie had retreated to the corner of the room, under the desk, trembling in terror .
"H-H-H-HOW… HO-HOW…"
"Hey . Are you okay?"
Marie turned to Dohyuk . She was crying with snot running down her nose . She was terrified beyond reason .
"What did you see?"
"W-W-W-W-W-WO-WORD… L-l-lot of them… It-it's…"
What word could make a person be so terrified?
"I'I'm s-s-sorry b-but I don't think I-I can… purchase t-this…"
"If it harms you…"
"N-no . It c-can't do t-that… at-at least th-that's the r-rule, b-but…"
Marie couldn't speak anymore other than apologizing to Dohyuk, so he put the bottle back in his pocket . After all, it was he who felt like he needed to apologize to Marie .

"…uk!"
Dohyuk woke up from his sleep .
"Dohyuk!"
Heeyun was looking at him . Dohyuk was sleeping by Heeyun's side with his back on the wall after he had finished trading with Marie .
"It's bad!"
"What are you-"
Before Dohyuk finished, he saw the messages popping up .
