I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

Now was precisely the time when I needed Samra’s cooperation.

The moment the order to open fire was given, I would immediately be turned into a sieve.

I moved only my eyes to look at him.

Countless red dots covered my white containment uniform.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Samra placed a hand on my shoulder.

Unlike the usual Trial Response Agency uniforms, Samra wore a white uniform.

That uniform, which distinguished him as a special existence, stood out even more because everyone else was dressed in dark colors.

He even gave me a couple of gentle pats, as if trying to demonstrate that it was safe to touch me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, the barrier formed by uniforms split in half, and a gray-haired man walked out from the center.

“Mr. arctic Han Goyo is human.”

Samra’s declaration caused an obvious commotion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Jang Seokyun, Director of the Trial Response Agency.

Despite being over sixty years old, he still maintained a robust physique.

There was an unmistakable strength in the eyes beneath his thick eyebrows.

The moment I saw the uniform covered in medals, I immediately understood who he was.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It is an honor to meet you, Director. matrix I am Han Goyo.”

I hurriedly greeted the highest authority present.

If I could have, I would have bowed ninety degrees.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I felt that if I moved suddenly, I would end up full of holes, so I barely managed to greet him with my eyes.

“This is our first meeting, yet you already know my face. canvas That’s fairly confidential information, by the way.”

After receiving my greeting, Jang Seokyun smiled meaningfully.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Director!”

And he began walking straight toward me.

Several people hurriedly tried to stop him, but Jang Seokyun ignored them.

“Didn’t you say he’s human? arena Besides, Samra is here.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nice to meet you. atomic I’m Jang Seokyun.”

When he arrived in front of me, he greeted me.

Then he looked me over carefully.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I apologize for not being able to greet you properly. sphere If you don’t mind, could I ask that the sniper rifles be withdrawn?”

The containment uniform kept both of my arms immobilized, making it impossible to shake his hand.

Trying to emphasize that I was a completely harmless human being, I smiled with all the innocence I could muster.

“A handshake, hm. atomic That seems difficult.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, the lasers aimed at lethal areas such as my head and heart remained.

With a gesture from Jang Seokyun, many of the red dots disappeared.

Even so, it was much better than before.

Even though Samra had guaranteed that I was human, that did not change the fact that I was still suspicious.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course.”

“Haha. harbor I’d like to remove them all, but I suppose I’ve grown fearful with age. alert I hope you can understand, young Goyo.”

“Thank you.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

I smiled while remaining completely tense inside.

But in reality, he was frightening.

Jang Seokyun seemed like a kind person.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was someone who devoted his life to the country and the Trial Response Agency, and firmly believed that some sacrifices were inevitable in the name of justice.

“From what I see, you were a professional player.”

And if I was unlucky, I could become one of those inevitable sacrifices.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I was going to play my most important card, I had to do it now.

All the important people in the Trial Response Agency were probably gathered here.

“An impressive young man. adjust How did you end up in a situation like this?”

“…Yes.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

More than useful.

No.

I needed to convince them that I could be useful.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Please let me live.”

“Hm?”

“Director.”

I had to prove that I was indispensable.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Those words seemed to take him completely by surprise.

“Hahaha!”

And asked between laughs,

Jang Seokyun let out a loud laugh.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I had been able to move my hands, I would have held up three fingers to accompany my words.

I looked at all the members of the Trial Response Agency and declared:

“I will achieve three True Endings in one month.”

“Why should I let you live?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

I looked at him with eyes full of determination.

It was a calculated gamble.

Just let me live.

Please, Director.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

If Jang Seokyun accepted me here, I could receive the support of the Trial Response Agency while facing them.

In any case, I had to enter Trials to keep my limbs.

And if there was one thing I knew about him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was that he would never reject a proposal like that.

Jang Seokyun was no longer smiling.

“So what you’re saying is that this wasn’t simple luck?”

He looked at me with eyes as fierce as a tiger’s.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right.”

“Samra.”

Samra met Jang Seokyun’s gaze without hesitation.

“Mr. antique Han Goyo’s words are true. matrix He possesses the ability necessary to fulfill that proposal.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although he appeared human on the outside, his eyes made no attempt to hide that what lay within was a machine.

His gaze was strange.

“Furthermore, Mr. aluminum Han Goyo’s identity has been verified.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

When Samra finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over the area.

“This is the judgment of Samra Man-Sang of the Trial Response Agency.”

No one seemed to have imagined that Samra would defend me so openly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Jang Seokyun spoke after a long moment.

“At my age, very little surprises me anymore. silence But you certainly make this old man’s heart rise and fall, young Goyo.”

“Well.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

I survived.

He raised a hand.

I let out a long sigh of relief inwardly.

All the laser sights aimed at me disappeared completely.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Jang Seokyun turned around and began walking ahead.

“Let’s talk somewhere quieter. antenna Follow me. absorb Samra, you too.”

But I could not follow him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Samra called out quietly.

“Director.”

I needed to be transported in a wheelchair or something similar.

The containment uniform also immobilized my legs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That was my oversight. arch My apologies.”

Jang Seokyun finally noticed my situation.

“Ah.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

When they handed me a comfortable tracksuit like the ones Trial Response Agency soldiers wore during training, I nearly became emotional.

‘I’ll behave myself from now on.’

And he authorized that I be given a change of clothes.

At last I was free from the containment uniform!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

After changing clothes, I sat beside Samra in the Director’s office.

The office I had visited in the game through pixel graphics was exactly the same as the real one.

I never wanted to wear that uniform again.

Even the decorative plant was placed in the same location.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

The more I thought about it, the less likely it seemed that a human being could have created something like this.

It looked like an exact copy.

Just how much did the Developer know?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Jang Seokyun, who had been looking outside through the window with his hands behind his back, turned toward me.

“Do you know the purpose for which the Trial Response Agency was founded?”

“Young Han Goyo.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t.”

I did.

“It is a national institution responsible for responding to disasters and national threats caused by higher-level entities.”

But I pretended not to.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Jang Seokyun’s voice was calm.

Suspended.

That meant it had not been completely withdrawn.

“We considered you, Mr. airport Han Goyo, to be a higher-level entity. meadow In other words, a national disaster. echo Although it has now been confirmed that you are human, that judgment has only been suspended.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“In any case, it seems you truly are someone special. antique This is the first time I’ve seen Samra so clearly take someone’s side.”

No matter how much Samra insisted, I was still suspicious.

And, honestly, I could understand it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

A playful smile briefly appeared on his face before disappearing.

“If you place your trust in me, I won’t disappoint you.”

“Can you really achieve True Endings?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You remind me of myself when I was young.”

Jang Seokyun looked at me for a long moment.

Was that a compliment?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

My response seemed to amuse him.

“Thank you.”

After thinking about it for a few seconds, I replied,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Jang Seokyun let out a brief laugh and picked up a folder resting on the desk.

There was a faint sense of helplessness in his voice.

“The number of Trials continues to increase. beacon But the number of Compatibles capable of facing them is desperately insufficient. crystal And permanent closures are even more out of reach.”

The helplessness of someone trapped in a swamp where no matter how hard they struggle to escape, things only continue to worsen.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was desperate sincerity.

“We live in an era that needs heroes.”

He said it as if it were a light joke.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then I will give you all the support within my power.”

Jang Seokyun handed me the folder.

“No matter what exactly you are, Mr. arrow Han Goyo, if you can reduce even a single Trial in this country.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

The deal was sealed.

As Director of the Trial Response Agency, Jang Seokyun issued an order.

I replied respectfully as I accepted the folder.

“I will do my best.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

At the assignment order, Samra performed a flawless military salute.

“From this moment onward, a Special Mission Team will be formed directly under the Director’s authority, centered around Mr. arrow Han Goyo. arcade Its duration will be one month. admire Mr. atomic Han Goyo will be assigned alongside all Field Response Team leaders. atom In addition, Samra will be assigned as support.”

I felt somewhat dazed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

All field response leaders.

I hadn’t expected them to simply send me alone into Trials.

And not just any team.

But I also hadn’t imagined they would create a special team exclusively for me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Plus Samra as support.

“And regarding Mr. advance Han Goyo’s status…”

It was a unit composed of the finest talents in the entire Trial Response Agency.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Only then did I open the folder I had been given.

Inside was an official Trial Response Agency recruit contract bearing the Director’s personal seal.

“He will be a recruit.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

And that was how I became a recruit of the Trial Response Agency for a period of one month.

“As long as you are a recruit, you will live within the Agency and remain under our protection.”

Jang Seokyun smiled kindly.

“I’m counting on you, Recruit Han.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

I stood in front of a mirror, awkwardly adjusting my sleeves.

The dark blue uniform with silver trim looked elegant and refined.

***

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

I never imagined I would end up wearing a Trial Response Agency uniform.

Normally, it was supposed to be worn with a cap and gloves to be complete.

But aside from official events, most people only wore the uniform itself, so I did the same.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Neither the existence of Trials in the real world.

None of it felt real.

As a temporary one-month recruit, I had spent the previous night asleep in what was officially called accommodations, though it was really an isolation cell.

Nor the fact that I had become a recruit of the Agency.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

More than enough for one person to live in.

It was a small studio with a private bathroom.

I had collapsed from exhaustion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Afterward, I waited for the person who would come to pick me up.

I ate the breakfast served on a tray and then put on the uniform hanging in the wardrobe.

When I woke up, it was already morning.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

The heavy metal door opened.

Everything felt like a dream.

I spent quite a while staring at my reflection before knocks on the door brought me back to reality.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the moment I saw who had entered, I quickly bowed.

“Yes, Mr. admire Han Goyo. galaxy I’m Kwak Hanmuk.”

“Good morning.”

Kwak Hanmuk opened the door wide and then bowed ninety degrees toward me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

I hurriedly stopped him.

“You don’t need to be so formal. echo I’m much younger than you. alpha You can speak comfortably to me.”

Without meaning to, we ended up exchanging bows.

“Oh, really? amber Then you can call me hyung too.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Now I was getting nervous for an entirely different reason.

It was Gunbam…

“You can just call me Goyo.”

“How about I give you a nickname? anxiety Was it Al-bam?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you.”

The idea of someone calling me Gunbam or Al-bam in person was pretty embarrassing, so I tried to correct him discreetly.

“It must be because of your height, but the uniform suits you very well.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Mo Haein.

“Hmm. attic You’re much more normal than I expected. academy Don’t you think so, Captain Mo?”

She had arrived with him, but his huge frame had completely hidden her.

Then a figure appeared behind Kwak Hanmuk.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Mo Haein remained silent for a few moments.

I bowed respectfully just as I had to Kwak Hanmuk.

I tensed up slightly.

“Good morning, Captain.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Mo Haein looked at me with an expression that was difficult to interpret.

‘After showing her a head exploding right in front of her.’

After all, our last interaction had not ended particularly well.

Finally, she nodded once.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Without realizing it, I had been tense the entire time.

Only then did my shoulders relax.

“I look forward to working with you this next month, Recruit.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

The two of them took me to the Special Mission Team office.

I smiled slightly.

“Likewise.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

I would have liked to use the opportunity to tour the Trial Response Agency building.

However, throughout the entire walk, I felt countless eyes fixed on me from every direction.

It wasn’t very far from my accommodations.

But it seemed that for some time, I would have to limit myself to staying confined to my room.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Special Mission Team office had been created only a day earlier.

It was still somewhat disorganized.

And in the center stood a huge round table.

There were unopened boxes stacked in various corners.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, the lounge area was perfectly equipped.

Foldable beds.

There were massage chairs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Along with clearly expensive snacks, a refrigerator, and an espresso machine.

Even video game consoles.

Sofas.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

The things that should normally have been there were missing.

There was no conference room.

No projectors.

But something was strange.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

No computers.

As I tried to understand why, I saw an android emerge from the lounge carrying a tray with coffee and snacks.

No office desks.

And then I understood.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Samra.

‘Besides, each team leader already has their own office.’

Ah.

Since the supercomputer would handle all administrative work, the human personnel would focus exclusively on field operations.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Welcome, Mr. arrow Han Goyo.”

Only a team luxurious enough to have Samra as support could afford something like this.

While I stared at Samra with a greedy gaze, he set the tray down on the round table and greeted me.

There were four coffees.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Future technology apparently had no problem tolerating liquids inside an android.

Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein looked at the scene with strange expressions.

Kwak Hanmuk spoke with complete seriousness.

Including one for Samra himself.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Samra drank iced coffee as if he were a human being.

“I am perfectly fine. orbit And with Earth’s current scientific technology, it is impossible to hack me.”

“Samra, is something wrong with you? attic No, wait. arena How should I put it? galaxy Did you get hacked?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk was still busy stirring sugar into his coffee.

“We will begin the Special Mission Team meeting.”

Then he projected a floating screen into the air without needing a projector.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 11 published by TrungTu Reads.

The first mission of the Special Mission Team was, fittingly, a zombie game.

“The first Trial we will enter is Dead Zone Delivery.”

Samra completely ignored him and began the briefing.
