I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

There were two bosses in the Dead Zone Deal laboratory.

The first was the Security Guard Zombie, whom you fought as soon as you entered the first-floor lobby.

After turning into a zombie, the remnants of the drug accelerated, transforming him into something that could no longer be considered human.

Back when he was human, that grotesquely swollen security guard had injected himself with illegal steroids to increase his muscle mass.

According to the story, he was a cook who fled to the generator room when the outbreak began and ended up turning into a zombie there.

But Je Hyuno had killed him at the very beginning, so I never even got to see him.

The Security Guard Zombie possessed the greatest offensive power in all of Dead Zone Deal.

The second was the Chef Zombie in the underground area.

If the player focused too much on delivery missions and took too long to confront him, he would completely destroy the generator, and the game would immediately end with a Bad Ending.

The Chef Zombie was a time-limit boss.

Having been trapped in a place filled with constant noise twenty-four hours a day, he had become far more ferocious than any other zombie and had extraordinarily sensitive hearing.

He constantly struck the emergency generator to reduce its operational capacity.

Furthermore, once the battle began, he attacked indiscriminately.

If too much time passed after the battle started without repairing the generator, it would explode, blowing the entire underground sector sky-high.

Game Over.

That was why it was crucial to keep his attention away from the generator to prevent him from destroying it.

The Chef Zombie would self-destruct, causing the generator to explode.

it was also Game Over.

But if you reduced the boss’s health to less than half before finishing the repairs,

I had defeated the Chef Zombie so many times that I was sick of seeing him.

I thought I would be able to react to almost any unexpected situation.

That was why I had let my guard down a little.

It was a battle designed so that anyone unfamiliar with the mechanics would inevitably lose.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Graaaah!”

That had been completely beyond anything I could have anticipated.

But my zombification disappearing…

The moment I exhaled the breath I had been holding, the Chef Zombie lunged at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Recruit!”

“I’m fine!”

Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein immediately reacted to the unexpected situation, but I stopped them.

“Goyo!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

As I broke into a run, I shouted at the top of my lungs.

Kwak Hanmuk ripped off the sling bag in one motion and threw it.

“I’ll handle the boss! atomic Throw me the sling bag!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

I caught it in midair.

The small bag traced a perfect arc before landing right in my hands.

Kwak Hanmuk slammed his entire body into the metal filing cabinet.

Meanwhile, Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein ran toward the spare parts cabinet.

You think you’ve definitely lost your mind.

◆Wha?t?! meadow Ma?in Qu?est!!: Defeat the enraged Chef Zombie.

He tore the door off by force and dumped out every part inside.

Your abilities are also pitifully insignificant.

You swear you’ll never ignore a system window again.

The chef, who was always angry because the researchers complained about the food, became even more violent after turning into a zombie.

However, the disaster has already begun.

He might tear you apart. meadow Apart! action Apart! shadow Apa-apa-apart!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Of course. amber If you actually said something useful from the beginning…’

Defeating the enraged chef will never be an easy task.

Then I’d diligently read every system window myself.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just lectures about not reading them and a bunch of nonsense.

There wasn’t a single useful line.

It was still the same.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Am I the only one whose zombification disappeared?’

I didn’t understand why it had happened.

Judging by the way he was targeting only me, the answer was obvious.

I glanced over my shoulder at the Chef Zombie, who continued chasing me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

After Mo Haein bit me, I hadn’t done anything at all.

was that I was the System.

The only difference between me and Kwak Hanmuk

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

You think you’re truly in a desperate situation this time.

And once the boss had already recognized me as his target, even if I turned back into a zombie now, it wouldn’t matter anymore.

I’d have to face the Chef Zombie as a human.

That was the only explanation I could come up with.

You wish to register ‘Mo Haein’ and ‘Kwak Hanmuk’ to complete the ‘3 slots’ and raise the System’s power to a new level.

But fortunately, there is a way to overcome it.

Do you wish to register ‘Mo Haein’ and ‘Kwak Hanmuk’?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It’s precisely because you keep saying this kind of nonsense that I stop reading you.’

Oh, seriously.

The strange sensation I had experienced when registering Je Hyuno was still vivid in my memory.

I didn’t want to register anyone else.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a spacious area dominated by a massive engine.

Ignoring the system window as I continued running, I surveyed the generator room.

Especially considering my agility.

But not spacious enough to play cat and mouse with the Chef Zombie for six minutes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I were still a zombie, my physical abilities would be considerably better than they were now.

I unzipped the sling bag and reached inside.

What a shame.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

A set of simple plastic gonggi stones.

I pulled out one of the items Kwak Hanmuk had obtained despite asking me over and over what the hell I needed it for.

Gonggi Stones: Use them only to play gonggi.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

The small filling inside them produced a soft clattering sound.

I picked up one of them and threw it in the opposite direction from the one I was running.

The gonggi stones rattled continuously.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It worked.’

The Chef Zombie let out a chilling roar and immediately charged toward the stone.

“Graaaah!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Furthermore, he always picked them up and swallowed them.

Kwak Hanmuk had managed to get the right item.

The Chef Zombie unfailingly reacted to the faint sound they made.

The gonggi stones were a toy played with by a child at the elementary school in Green Zone.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

I couldn’t waste them carelessly.

When he did, he became stunned for three seconds.

The hidden strategy for defeating him was to keep throwing the stones while escaping.

But there were only five.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Chef Zombie picked up the stone with his rotten hand.

“Grrr…”

I had to manage them carefully while the emergency generator was being repaired.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

While the Chef Zombie remained stunned, I climbed a metal shelving unit where several pipes were neatly stored.

He stood still for a few moments before putting it into his mouth and swallowing it.

He had picked it up instinctively, though he didn’t seem to know what to do with it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

The emergency generator repair has begun!

At that moment, a system window appeared.

I climbed onto the platform about two meters above the ground and looked toward the emergency generator.

Repairers: Cheongroe, Morae. acoustic (The repairers cannot be changed once the repair has begun.)

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Current repair progress: 1%.

Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein were sitting on opposite sides of the generator, removing the metal panels.

Clang!

After spraying the rust remover, Mo Haein hurled the aerosol can with all her strength.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just then, the Chef Zombie’s stun ended.

As he searched for me, he immediately rushed toward the source of the impact.

“…”

The can struck the metal fence on the opposite side.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Mo Haein checked with trembling eyes that I was still unharmed.

She ran over to Kwak Hanmuk’s side, and the two of them began loosening bolts with wrenches and replacing the damaged cables according to their respective colors.

They both worked calmly, exactly as I had explained during the briefing.

Then she immediately went back to work.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to the few seconds Mo Haein had bought me, I managed to climb to the top of the shelving unit without any trouble.

“Kieeaaa!”

It looked like they would finish the repairs within the six minutes I had estimated.

The Chef Zombie let out a horrifying shriek and slammed into the shelving unit.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

The impact was so powerful that even the metal frame, firmly bolted to the floor, shook.

I left the repair progress window in the corner of my vision and waited for the Chef Zombie to finish climbing.

The most important thing was to keep all of his attention focused on me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

I sprinted along the long row of metal shelves as though it were a running track.

I took off running.

When he was only one level away from reaching me,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just before reaching the end of the shelving unit, I threw the second gonggi stone to the opposite side.

His apron, riddled with holes, flapped noisily as he ran.

The Chef Zombie immediately chased after me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

As he chased after the stone, he fell off the shelving unit.

Crash!

Just as I expected, the Chef Zombie reacted to the sound once again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

And he ran after the stone once more.

The impact left him motionless for a few seconds.

Then his body bent with horrifying cracks before he got back to his feet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

On the left side, Kwak Hanmuk had already finished connecting the cables and was tightening the bolts one by one.

Mo Haein had returned to the right side to clean off the rust and remove the internal bolts.

I took the opportunity to check on the repairs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

The intense heat radiating from the generator’s engine caused sweat to trickle down Kwak Hanmuk’s temples.

The scorching air it expelled was unbearable.

When the Chef Zombie came back toward the shelving units, I ran this time toward the generator’s cooling fan.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was the noisiest spot in the entire room.

For the next minute, he would wander around looking for me.

As long as I stayed there, the Chef Zombie would temporarily lose track of me.

Just as I expected, the monster hesitated for a moment after losing sight of his target.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

But once that minute was over, he would go back to attacking the generator.

With that brief window of safety, I counted the seconds in my head while watching the metal fence on the opposite side.

I had to act before that happened.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as the Chef Zombie was about to stop searching for me, I threw the third gonggi stone.

The stone passed perfectly through the gap in the fence and landed exactly where I wanted it to.

Behind it stood another generator that was completely shut down.

Not too hard and not too softly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Unable to reach it through the openings, he began ripping the mesh apart with brute force.

The moment he heard the sound, the monster hurled himself at the fence.

In a place the Chef Zombie could barely reach with his hand.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Crack! avalanche Crack!

The sharp ends pierced the backs of his hands.

The wires began to snap.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

A viscous, putrid liquid began dripping from the wounds.

The Chef Zombie completely mangled his own hands as he tore apart the fence.

But zombies don’t feel pain.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

In the end, he managed to grab the stone and shove it into his mouth.

In the game, you only saw him tearing down the fence.

I hadn’t anticipated that.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, the game had pixel graphics.

There was a limit to how much information it could convey.

It never showed him injuring himself like that.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a compact Glock 19 with a fifteen-round magazine.

I pulled a pistol out of the sling bag.

I had no choice but to slightly alter my plan.

‘If he’s a chef, he shouldn’t be destroying his hands.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

he would immediately self-destruct.

But I only intended to fire one shot.

The Chef Zombie didn’t have that much health.

If I mishandled the weapon and reduced his health below half,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

But this time I had no other choice.

I racked the slide and aimed at the Chef Zombie.

I had wanted to avoid using firearms whenever possible.

It was a tool that was as useful as it was dangerous.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

In FPS games, I had been an excellent marksman.

It was the first time I had ever held a real gun.

I hadn’t even received basic military training.

But this was reality.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

The rough texture of the grip lightly scraped against my palm.

With every nerve in my body focused, I placed my finger on the trigger.

He had detected the sound of my breathing and charged immediately.

The Chef Zombie growled as he turned toward me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘When he’s as close as possible.’

That was the best way to minimize the margin of error.

I waited calmly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

I felt an intense heat in my eyes.

As I focused all my attention,

Even though it was impossible for him to actually be moving slowly.

The approaching zombie seemed to be moving in slow motion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

Strange as it was,

It was that same sensation I had already experienced several times.

it didn’t scare me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

I pulled the trigger.

It felt completely natural.

On the contrary.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I smiled.

The first shot only left a long groove across the zombie’s skin before deflecting away.

The recoil caused the barrel to jerk upward, and the shell casing flew off to one side.

Bang!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Kiaaa!”

The bullet pierced his kneecap.

This time I didn’t miss.

And pulled the trigger again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

The sound of the shell casing hitting the floor echoed loudly.

I immediately lowered the gun.

The Chef Zombie lost his balance and collapsed to the ground.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I kept firing, I’d enter his self-destruction threshold.

Both of them had stopped working.

But Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein were no longer repairing it.

I slowly exhaled and looked toward the generator.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

I quickly looked around to see if there was something near me.

‘What’s wrong?’

With tense expressions, they were staring fixedly at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

But there was nothing.

Even through the dirty glass, it was perfectly clear.

Then I saw my reflection in the glass door of the fire extinguisher cabinet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 26 published by TrungTu Reads.

My eyes were glowing with an intense golden color.
