I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

I didn’t even have time to flail my arms and legs more than a couple of times.

My body plummeted at tremendous speed.

The fall ended before I could understand what was happening.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I inhaled deeply.

“Haah!”

Splat!

A disgusting sensation enveloped my entire body.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The sky before my eyes vanished rapidly.

The enormous mouth that had opened wide to devour me was beginning to close.

The stench of decay flooded my lungs, yet I could barely perceive it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

My fingers slipped.

But there was nothing I could grab onto.

I planted my feet against the slippery cavity and reached out.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Glup.

And then.

The viscous membranes surrounding my body rippled.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

As I fell through that absolute darkness, system windows appeared as though they had gone mad.

My body plunged down a slippery passage that had to be the esophagus.

I was swallowed.

Do you wish to execute ‘Je Hyuno’?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Do you wish to execute ‘Je Hyuno’?

Do you wish to execute ‘Je Hyuno’?

Do you wish to execute ‘Je Hyuno’?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed the system had become angry because Je Hyuno had done this to me.

Do you wish to execute ‘Je Hyuno’?

But at this point, I couldn’t execute him over something like this.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

For example.

I knew he was strong.

After all, he had already proven far too much.

Killing one million zombies.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Instead, my goal became getting out of here alive and.

But seeing it with my own eyes had been simply overwhelming.

After seeing just how useful he was.

There was no way I could execute Je Hyuno.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

So I’d settle for complaining to him a little.

Well, grabbing him by the collar was asking too much.

Besides, I was convinced the system didn’t truly want me to execute Je Hyuno either.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It said it.

After all.

But it didn’t mean it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was a long explanatory text.

◆ Main Quest!: Escape from Nothing.

As I continued sliding endlessly through that viscous substance, a new quest appeared.

The system itself was the one that most desperately wanted me to register Je Hyuno.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was impossible to read it while I was falling out of control.

Finally.

How long had I been descending?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I landed in a space roughly the size of a small room and let out a faint groan.

“Ugh…”

My body stopped falling.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had slid through the passage as though I were going down a slide.

Fortunately, the impact had been minimal.

And the ground I landed on was completely soft as well.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was dim lighting here that allowed me to make out my surroundings.

It didn’t smell bad.

Unlike the esophagus, which had been shrouded in absolute darkness.

Surprisingly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

As strange as it sounded, I had the impression I’d fallen into the cleanest part of that thing.

The texture was horrifying.

That said.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I watched the wall sink into the exact shape of my hand when I pressed against it.

“Ugh…”

I pulled my hand away.

As I continued touching it, my palm began to itch.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The bloodshot eye stared fixedly at me.

And froze.

An eye had appeared on the damp wall.

The same eyes that covered Nothing’s outer surface also grew inside it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

And more eyes appeared one after another.

As we held each other’s gaze.

The wall began to ripple.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

A chill ran down my spine from sheer instinctive revulsion.

Within seconds, I was surrounded by hundreds of them.

But at the same time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Are these the same eyes from the outside that moved inward? antenna Or have new ones formed?’

My heart was pounding for an entirely different reason.

I carefully observed those eyes embedded in the wall.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I’d already grown accustomed to the disgust.

I’d never had the chance to end up inside the final boss’s stomach in Dead Zone Deal.

So I couldn’t help being curious.

Before I realized it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

If the captains could see me.

They’d probably clutch their heads in disbelief.

Slowly, I reached out and touched one of the eyes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The eye was damp and slippery.

There was no one who could scold me.

But I was completely alone here.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It didn’t blink.

I didn’t know whether that was because it couldn’t feel pain.

The only thing it did was follow the movement of my hand with its pupil.

Or because it simply had no eyelids.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I withdrew my hand and remembered something I’d nearly forgotten.

All I had left was the ammunition belt around my waist and a military knife strapped to my thigh for emergencies.

‘I have to get out of here.’

As for the equipment I still had.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘And I can’t expect the captains to come rescue me either.’

It would be useless against a zombie incapable of feeling pain.

No matter how much I swung that knife.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no way he’d allow Mo Haein and Kwak Hanmuk to come save me.

But it didn’t seem like he wanted to kill me either.

Je Hyuno had personally caught me.

Then he’d thrown me into the final boss.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Most likely.

Je Hyuno wanted to confirm something about me.

“Goyo. adapt Don’t die.”

Those were the last words he’d said before dropping me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

First, I reopened the system window I hadn’t been able to read earlier and started going through it.

‘He could’ve at least thrown me a gun too.’

Although I had no idea what it was.

For a moment, I felt that if I managed to get out of here, I’d even be able to grab Je Hyuno by the collar.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The proper thing to do would be to execute him immediately, but compassion is not a bad quality for someone who aspires to become a ■■ ■.

Kill him! anchor Execute him! adopt Kill him! antique Execute him!

◆ Main Quest!: Escape from Nothing.

You have fallen into a critical situation because of the malicious ■■.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Instead of punishing him, you decide to overcome this crisis through your own strength.

However.

You believe you can escape from Nothing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I read the entire thing, but I didn’t understand what it was trying to say.

“…?”

Nothing wishes to remain with you forever.

It will not let you leave so easily.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It had no will of its own.

But Nothing was a boss created from dead zombies and the remains of the city.

Smiley, from Hespec, tried to draw the player in because he was lonely.

That it wanted to stay with me?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although I thought it was just more nonsense from the system, a strange uneasiness settled in my chest.

Perhaps it was because of all those eyes watching me.

For some reason.

Its sole purpose was to kill the player.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Defeat one another.

Just like in the game, the only thing a boss and an Adept could do inside a Trial was fight each other.

They seemed to be waiting for something with eager anticipation.

But what could they possibly be waiting for?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Unless a special quest appeared.

Neither Je Hyuno nor the final boss.

There was no peaceful way to resolve this.

The only thing I could do now was carve my way out by ripping apart or bursting through its insides.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

When I touched it, I found a shallow cut beneath the torn fabric of my military jacket.

At that moment, I felt a stinging sensation on my back.

I had no idea what they were expecting from me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The bleeding had almost stopped.

Je Hyuno had probably scratched me with his metallic hand when he caught me.

I frowned as I looked at that vivid red blood.

But my palm was still stained with blood.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Every eye was staring at exactly the same thing.

“…”

I slowly raised my head.

Then I felt a gaze.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, Lee Gaon’s voice echoed in my memory.

The blood on my hand.

“Mr. arctic Gunbam’s blood was the cure for the Pandora virus!”

Maybe.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could try something.

Until Goyo fell inside and was swallowed.

From the moment the boss opened its mouth.

***

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not even a minute had passed.

Completely forgetting the minimum protocol she was supposed to observe toward a superior, she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Then she broke into a run.

Mo Haein stood frozen for a moment.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Je Hyuno!!”

Je Hyuno had always displayed excessive hostility toward him.

The taste of blood filled her throat.

From the very first time she met Han Goyo.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

She had found that strange.

However.

But at least she could understand it.

Except toward the Trial Response Agency, Je Hyuno had always been hostile to both Trials and Adepts.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had thrown him at the final boss as though he were nothing more than a toy.

He now clearly recognized Han Goyo as part of the team.

And yet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was an offense for which he should be arrested.

It hadn’t been an impulsive attack.

It violated the Trial Response Agency’s regulations.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The boxwood beads, linked together by a long cord, wrapped around Je Hyuno’s body.

As she ran toward Je Hyuno, a rosary shot through the air from the distance.

“Lieutenant Colonel, damn it!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

He simply floated in the air, restrained by the rosary.

Gripping the rosary tightly, Kwak Hanmuk roared.

But Je Hyuno, the one responsible for all of it, remained completely calm.

“I told you not to kill him!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I wanted to see the color of his eyes at least once too.”

“Then what the hell are you doing?!”

He answered in a voice so calm it almost sounded sleepy.

“I didn’t kill him.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

As she drew closer, she understood the absurdity of the situation even more clearly.

Mo Haein felt her blood boil with rage.

The gigantic final boss, even larger than the laboratory building itself, remained motionless like a shapeless mass of flesh and debris.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It hadn’t attacked again.

Ever since it had swallowed Han Goyo.

The hundreds of eyes that had covered its surface had disappeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the bullets only sank into the soft flesh and were absorbed.

Mo Haein fired several bursts as a test.

It simply remained there, completely still.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If only I could use the Black Moon Blade…!’

Without the Black Moon Blade.

The feeling of helplessness made even her vision turn red.

The only person capable of splitting that gigantic monster in half with a single strike was Je Hyuno.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

But in the meantime.

Of course, they could look for another method.

Mo Haein aimed directly at the dark protective goggles.

Who knew what might be happening to Han Goyo inside that thing?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

A metallic screech rang out.

“Get him out! atomic Right now!”

“Lieutenant Colonel.”

It was the sound of Kwak Hanmuk’s rosary tightening even further around Je Hyuno.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Get Goyo out.”

Je Hyuno cast a brief glance at the rosary.

The beads emitted a brief blue glow.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

And said something completely out of place.

“Captain Mo. wizard Captain Kwak.”

Then he slowly addressed them both by rank.

“Couldn’t you postpone the mutiny for just a moment? echo I think something interesting is about to happen.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as Mo Haein was about to pull the trigger.

What nonsense was he talking about now?

There was no reasoning with him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

She flinched and instinctively lowered her weapon.

“…!”

Splat!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the corpse of one of the zombies it had absorbed.

And that was only the beginning.

Something soft fell from the final boss’s body.

Splat!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Splat!

Splat!

The boss’s flesh began collapsing continuously.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was indiscriminately expelling everything it had absorbed.

The remains of collapsed buildings.

Zombie corpses.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The city’s garbage.

Once it had lost more than half of its body.

Mo Haein and Kwak Hanmuk stared in stunned silence as the final boss disintegrated while it was still alive.

As it lost the materials that made up its body, the gigantic mass began to shrink.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

The one walking out from inside the final boss.

Was Han Goyo.

An intense golden light illuminated the darkness surrounding them.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Completely captivated by that golden radiance, Mo Haein’s eyes widened.

The color of his eyes had changed once again.

Han Goyo’s entire body was covered in blood.

Only then did she notice something the light had concealed until that moment.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Beneath his pale face were several enormous wounds, as though he had been stabbed over and over again.

Blood poured from them without end.

And wherever that blood came into contact with the monster.

The blood that fell was absorbed by the final boss before it could even reach the ground.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Je Hyuno’s laughter echoed through the air.

As Mo Haein and Kwak Hanmuk stood frozen, unable to react.

Its body began to disintegrate as though it were melting.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

Smiling, he exclaimed.

“It really is exactly the same shade of gold…!”

At some point, he had removed his protective goggles.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 31 published by TrungTu Reads.

A cheerful sound announced the appearance of a system window.

Ding.

You have defeated Nothing.

It was the message confirming that Han Goyo had defeated the final boss of Dead Zone Deal.
