Prologue
The Heavenly Demon Paeng Seong-hyeok spoke.
"Ramen."
His demonic followers scattered in a frenzy, as if fire had erupted at their feet.
The Drunken Demon Ju Sang-do clutched his pounding head and bellowed,
"Drank too much soju-beer—my head's killing me. Go grab a hangover cure."
His drunken guests snapped to attention and sprang into action.
The Blood Cult leader Jo Mun-ryong declared with gleaming eyes,
"From this moment, I proclaim our blood flows as cola! Go buy cola."
His followers bolted off, lightfoot skills flashing.
The Sado Alliance leader Wi Ja-hyeong said,
"My cat won't eat anything but that house brand chu-rup pouch. Get one."
Green Forest bandits poured down from the mountains.
The Murim Alliance leader Yoo Pae-cheon commanded,
"Fetch me a single cigarette."
The Nine Great Righteous Sects flung open doors they'd bolted shut.
The Sichuan Tang Family head Dang Jong-ak remarked,
"They say Sichuan cuisine is spicy, but how can it compare to spicy stir-fried chicken noodles? I'm in a foul mood today—bring something hot."
Tang clansmen snatched up their flying daggers.
Ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling—
'Money's rolling in, vines and all! Kehehe!'
The singularity had descended upon the Murim world just a year prior.
