I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

It had been far too long since I had last thought about it.

It took me a moment to remember, as if I had to retrieve that forgotten memory from the depths of my mind.

‘Maybe I really have seen him…’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

It had happened a very long time ago.

To be more precise, it wasn’t that we had known each other, but that there was a possibility he knew me.

‘But that doesn’t make any sense.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Someone like the Chairman of the Cheongang Group would be surrounded by extraordinary people.

He was someone who stood at a height far beyond my reach.

And I wasn’t someone who had left a memorable impression.

He had no reason to remember me, nor the time to do so.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

Samra looked at me as though he didn’t understand what the problem was.

“If that is your wish, Mr. acoustic Han Goyo, I will arrange a meeting with the Chairman of the Cheongang Group.”

“With… the Chairman?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

In any case, I needed Proper Appearance.

Could I really meet the Chairman of one of the country’s largest conglomerates simply because I wanted to?

It was an item that would be tremendously helpful in Clean! accent Clean! apron Clean!

I didn’t know whether it was thanks to the authority of the Trial Response Agency or Samra himself, but I was completely bewildered.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

I finally made my decision.

‘I wish I had Proper Appearance.’

Back when I used to play that Trial, I had thought countless times,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I want to meet him.”

Samra stared into empty space for a few moments.

“Understood.”

He seemed to be contacting someone.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘How does he go outside?’

As I watched him, a question suddenly came to mind.

The light in his holographic pupils glowed softly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

While I wasted time on such pointless thoughts, Samra finished the call.

But even with protective goggles, there was still the problem of his hair.

He would probably cover himself up completely like Lieutenant Colonel Je did.

To completely conceal the holographic light, he would have to wrap his head in something like a cloth.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed my reaction was what he didn’t understand.

“In two days. anchor Lunch at twelve.”

“…Can you really arrange an appointment with the Chairman that easily?”

“Why not?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

After confirming the meeting, he looked at me once again.

Hearing him naturally place me above the Chairman of the Cheongang Group, I could only smile awkwardly.

Samra was probably the only person who thought that way.

“At this moment, there is no one in South Korea more important than Mr. legend Han Goyo.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

He probably knew my condition better than I did.

Samra knew all of my biometric data.

“How are you feeling physically?”

“I’m fine.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I would like to know why you chose to approach the Trial in such a reckless manner.”

“I wanted to become the greatest contributor. accent I wanted to prove to the Trial Response Agency that I’m necessary.”

There was no point in lying to him, so I answered honestly.

As expected, the real question came next.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, that’s not it. artist Thanks to you, I was able to become a recruit… I just… wanted to make absolutely sure. ability It was purely my own ambition.”

As I hurriedly tried to justify myself, Samra watched me without blinking even once.

There was a silent reproach in that inhuman gaze.

“Was my testimony not enough?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Remembering those words, I put on the most remorseful expression I could manage.

Even before entering Dead Zone Delivery, Samra had made the priority perfectly clear to me.

“I’ll be more careful from now on.”

“At this moment, Mr. amber Han Goyo is a unique and irreplaceable existence.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There is something I need to confirm regarding the items you obtained.”

I waited attentively, ready to cooperate.

Samra continued looking at me for a few more seconds.

Fortunately, he decided to change the subject.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Excuse me?”

“It is not possible to extract the items you obtained. acid Is this an ability unique to you?”

It was a completely incomprehensible question.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Trial Response Agency extracts the items obtained by its Awakened when they complete a Trial.”

I had never heard of such a thing.

Extract items?

Seeing my bewildered expression, Samra immediately realized I knew nothing about it and began explaining.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Extract…?’

How exactly did they do that?

It was completely new information.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Even so, if they obtain a good item, I suppose they receive some kind of reward.’

Although, if the items became state property because they belonged to military personnel, I could understand it.

The word itself made me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was strange that I knew nothing about this.

After all, Lieutenant Colonel Je and the Captains risked their lives every time they entered a Trial.

It would only be logical for there to be some kind of compensation.

Once my initial discomfort faded, another question came to mind.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

I even knew numerous secrets that could be considered classified.

While playing Archive World, I had gathered all kinds of information.

It made no sense for me to be ignorant of something so basic that even an administrative employee of the Trial Response Agency would know.

Even assuming the Developer had deliberately hidden that information, the reason still wasn’t clear.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Hide it from the player because it was a negative aspect? apron But why?’

“I knew absolutely nothing about extraction. ability Likewise, I don’t know why the items I obtained can’t be extracted.”

It didn’t seem sufficient as a strategy to keep players engaged.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Based on my physical reactions, he seemed to have concluded that I was telling the truth.

“When (Happy Smile Factory) was completed, the extraction failed. shadow We attempted a second extraction, but Director Han Jiwol requested that it be suspended in order to collect physiological data, and I agreed.”

Samra’s pupils expanded before contracting again.

And when they attempted to extract the items after completing (Dead Zone Delivery), it failed as well.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was something I had been completely unaware of.

“Could you show me the items you obtained?”

It had probably happened while I was still unconscious.

After finishing his explanation, Samra asked,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

I took the small candy and the portable music player, with its wired earphones carefully wrapped around it, out of my inventory and handed them to him.

Perfect.

I thought it was a good opportunity to ask him to listen to the music.

“Happy Smile Candy and a Portable Music Player.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“These…”

“They are bound items.”

However, upon receiving them, Samra wore a strange expression.

He looked at me as though he couldn’t believe it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, such cases were extremely rare; only a handful had ever been documented worldwide.

When that happened, only that Awakened could use them.

Items obtained as rewards for completing a Trial would sometimes become bound to an Awakened.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Two in a row.

And every item I had obtained belonged to that category.

Unlike me, who was bewildered, Samra seemed to grow increasingly interested.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There should be no connection between completing a True Ending and an item becoming bound. agent What kind of items are they?”

Somewhat embarrassed, I read the descriptions aloud.

“Ah… well…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I stopped.

“A candy that makes the person who eats it feel happy and smile, and a music player containing a cassette with 666 cheerful songs. shadow According to the description, listening to the music makes you feel happy.”

I was just about to try convincing him that the items could be useful, before he concluded that I had brought back nothing but useless junk.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Samra, could you lower the brightness of your eyes a little…?”

So intensely that the small room seemed to be completely illuminated.

Samra’s eyes were shining intensely.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is the first time an item capable of affecting emotions has appeared. sphere It undoubtedly has some significance.”

Samra blinked for the first time since entering the room, and the glow returned to normal.

I almost had to close my own because of the intensity of the light.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, they were bound to me.

After carefully examining both items for a while, he returned them to me.

And there was also the possibility that I would have to use them inside a Trial.

In return, I promised to provide him with any information I discovered once I used them.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Also, regarding the creator, we have located a user who watched his broadcasts and played the game.”

That truly caught me by surprise.

“…!”

If my eyes emitted light as well, they probably would have shone just as brightly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

They could arrange a lunch with the Chairman of the Cheongang Group, yet they couldn’t manage to speak with this person?

“However, this person is extremely difficult to obtain testimony from, so we are exploring various methods.”

Who in the world was this person for even Samra to say it was difficult?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If he could tell me, he would have already done so.’

So I decided not to press the matter.

Even so, I was convinced that even if I asked, he wouldn’t tell me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

I replied that I didn’t.

Samra then asked whether I needed anything else.

I simply took the opportunity to make one request.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Isn’t he going to ask about my eyes?’

I sometimes watched animal videos to pass the time, but lately almost all of them were fake.

When they gave me a mobile phone, I wanted him to prevent my MTube algorithm from recommending AI-generated videos.

After saying goodbye to him, I remained alone in the room, staring at the closed door.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Samra never once mentioned the change in my eye color that had occurred inside the Trial.

So I remained silent.

I didn’t know whether he had simply decided not to bring it up or whether those who had entered with me had never reported it.

As for me, I had no interest in stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Right now, recovering was the most important thing.

‘I’d better get some rest.’

Sometimes the door would lock automatically.

Fortunately, every time, Samra found a different and surprisingly effective way to drive her away.

Until the day of my lunch with the Chairman of the Cheongang Group, Han Jiwol appeared in my room several times.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thanks to that, I was able to focus on recovering without losing a single additional gram of fingernails.

On the day of the appointment, Samra came to pick me up.

I had already changed into the civilian clothes they had provided.

Other times, an urgent call for the Director would come over the speakers.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Both his hair and his eyes were beige.

The moment I saw him, my eyes widened.

He was wearing a light-colored suit.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even now he still stood out, but compared to the usual colors of his hologram, he looked like a model student.

Samra smiled faintly at my reaction.

“How did you do that?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I used an item.”

But I restrained myself.

I had an overwhelming urge to ask him which Trial he had obtained it from and exactly what kind of item it was.

“Wow…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je also possesses a similar item.”

Even so, I didn’t ask.

There was another person from the Trial Response Agency accompanying us.

That only made me even more curious.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uh… are we having lunch… at the Chairman of the Cheongang Group’s residence?”

We arrived in a black sedan at a place that made me feel an overwhelming sense of pressure.

It could have been classified information.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

I thought we would eat in a private room at a traditional restaurant, like in TV dramas.

“That’s right.”

I had imagined something much simpler.

While Samra saw no problem with it, I stared at the enormous mansion in Hannam-dong.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

A large van, the kind celebrities usually rode in, came to a smooth stop.

I had never imagined a situation that was far more intimidating.

As I stood frozen in front of the gate.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

The door opened.

“What kind of charity event is Grandma trying to put together this time?”

And the first thing I heard was an irritated voice.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Kang Byeokrin.

Then another strikingly beautiful woman got out, frowning in obvious annoyance.

A woman in a suit stepped out first.

The great-granddaughter of the Chairman of the Cheongang Group.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I already told you I’m not going to associate with ordinary people!”

She was well known even among ordinary people.

Although I also knew she wasn’t exactly kind-hearted.

Her extraordinary beauty had made her a genuine social media celebrity.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

…That definitely seemed to be true.

“If you hire mediocre people, you’ll get mediocre results. absorb I’m already in a bad enough mood lately without Grandma making me…”

She had just noticed Samra and me standing in front of the gate.

Suddenly, Kang Byeokrin stopped mid-sentence.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

I tried to greet her first.

But I never got the chance.

Not even running into Lieutenant Colonel Je in the middle of the night would have produced such a stunned expression.

For some reason, Kang Byeokrin was staring at me as if she had just suffered a devastating shock.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“W-wait! apple Just a moment! voyage My clothes! palette I’m going to change! atomic I’ll be right back! avalanche No, actually, come in! auction Director Woo, please escort them!”

Then she suddenly shouted,

She stood frozen, staring at me as though she had lost her soul.

The next instant, she ran into the house.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

I stood there motionless and looked at Samra.

‘This hasn’t all fallen apart, has it?’

I tried to convey with my eyes,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Everything is proceeding as planned.”

But Samra simply replied with a meaningful smile.

***

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the thought never even crossed her mind.

Normally, she took the elevator to the third floor, where her room was.

Kang Byeokrin raced up the stairs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Neither the cleaning staff nor even Director Woo were allowed to enter it freely.

She sprinted up all three flights in one go.

Breathing heavily, she reached the door of the room at the very end of the hallway.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

The door slowly opened.

The room inside was revealed.

With trembling hands, she grasped the doorknob.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although there weren’t many different kinds of merchandise, there were enough duplicates to completely fill the enormous room.

Every single item belonged to one person.

It was filled with posters, photographs, photocards, plush dolls, and all kinds of official and unofficial merchandise.

Standing before a display case where the same item was repeated dozens of times, Kang Byeokrin staggered closer.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 34 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kang Byeokrin was a fan of the professional gamer Goyo.

Her face completely red, she murmured,

“What is Goyo doing in my house…?”

“M-my goodness…”
