NPCs and players reacted to rumors quite differently in Athenae. For Athenae players, all they needed to do to verify any rumors was to search the person involved or watch Ztube videos related to them.

This was the case with the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.

When they were still Legend Guild, the players had repeatedly watched the videos of their legendary battle in the Continent Cloud. There were also videos of their battle against Black Dragon Vormon and Great Demon Verus.

Most of the NPCs, on the other hand, could only listen to stories and they did not have any way to confirm it. They did not have a way to watch videos like the players, which was why the other kingdoms and empires labeled the rumors surrounding Beyond the Heavens Kingdom as fake.

An intellectually disabled boy was the Sword Saint? A best-selling author of erotic novels was strong enough to crush legends? Also, the Great Demon had become jealous when the Lesser Demon had decided to follow the Beyond the Heavens King, so he had staged an attack?

Just listening to any of these was enough for the NPCs to label these news as exaggerated rumors that were created by the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom! They all assumed that the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom was spreading nonsense as legends so that other kings and their subjects would not ignore...
