I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

“Are you saying the Butlers lied to me?”

I lowered my gaze to the metal hand resting against my chest and then looked back at Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Instead of answering, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno walked into the room.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

His movements were so relaxed that it looked as though he had simply come to pay me a visit.

I closed the window behind him.

He calmly walked around the guest room.

He gave no indication whatsoever that he intended to answer my question.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it wasn’t easy.

Up until now, every time I entered a Trial, I had always assumed it was the real world and that it could be different from the game I had played.

While Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno inspected the room, I tried to understand what he had just said.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were the very same NPCs from the game I had played.

I had spoken with them over and over again after completing CCC countless times.

Neither the Cat Butler nor the Rabbit Butler was the type to lie.

However, this time was different.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Why would they lie to me just to keep me in the mansion?

Nor did they have any reason to do so.

No matter how much they liked me, that was an entirely separate matter.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

I decided to keep those thoughts to myself.

If I could get through one week safely and leave CCC, everything would become clear on its own.

‘They’ve always known how to separate personal feelings from work.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thump!

Thump!

Just as Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno finished looking around the room.

I didn’t want to argue with Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno only for him to end up treating me like an idiot.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Heavy footsteps echoed from the other side of the door.

Thump!

Thump!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Aaaah!! avalanche Help me! meadow No! alpha It hurts! admire Aaaagh…!”

The scream was abruptly cut short.

After those sounds, as though a giant were walking down the hallway, someone’s bloodcurdling scream rang out.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Creatures were beings created by the mansion to consume its sacrifices more efficiently.

The Creatures had begun to move.

In its place came the sound of crunching, as though someone were chewing flesh.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Sometimes too many Creatures appeared, and then the Butlers either dealt with them personally or assigned that task to the players through a quest.

The more cleaners they devoured during the night, the more brilliantly the mansion shone the following day.

That was precisely the purpose of defeating the boss monster.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

It sounded as though they were trying to fight back, but it wouldn’t be easy.

At night, the cleaners’ vision was reduced, making everything much darker.

Apparently, the cleaners assigned to the third floor of the East Wing were being swept away by the Creatures like dry leaves.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Simply attacking them was useless.

Of course, none of that mattered if you possessed enough offensive power to crush them outright.

On top of that, they seemed to have no idea how to deal with the Creatures.

Unless you used the proper method for each Creature, they regenerated health far faster than they took damage.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was slowly clicking his metal hand.

As I stared at the door, I turned my gaze toward him.

‘Like Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What should we do, Goyo?”

After staring at the closed door for a moment, he slowly shifted his gaze back to me.

He seemed to be suppressing the urge to dash outside and tear every Creature apart.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

His voice, mixed with the faint sound of metal, posed the question.

“Kill all the Butlers.”

“Do you want me to get you out of here?”

“…And how exactly would you get me out?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

It certainly was a very Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno way of “rescuing” me.

“……”

“And if necessary, the Creatures too.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it would never be the True Ending.

To begin with, rescuing me had absolutely nothing to do with the world of CCC.

Using his method, we’d probably manage to clear the Trial somehow.

And yet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

If we failed CCC, it would become physically impossible to close the remaining two Trials within the time we had left.

I still wanted to achieve the True Ending.

I had to achieve it.

No.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Unconsciously, I rubbed my wrist before speaking.

A phantom pain ran through arms and legs that had never actually been amputated.

After all, the Special Mission Team was only assigned Trials rated four stars or higher.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno narrowed his eyes.

“I’ve learned some things from talking to the Butlers. avalanche I’m not completely certain yet, but…”

“I think it’s still possible to achieve the True Ending.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You want me to wait?”

Calmly, I tried to persuade him to set aside the rescue quest and focus all our efforts on achieving the True Ending.

“Yes. canvas Give me three days.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno looked at me as though saying, Go on.

“Could you deliver a message to the Captains for me? harbor Now that I’ve become a Butler, it’ll be very difficult for me to contact either you or them.”

So I continued explaining.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

After bringing him up to date on my situation, I explained what I needed him to do.

And at night, I’d have to stay quietly in my room to avoid arousing suspicion.

Besides, I had work to do.

During the day, the other Butlers would most likely remain by my side.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah all the cleaners brought here are dangerous criminals. agent In the story of CCC, the protagonist is the only one who ends up here after being deceived without knowing anything…”

The moment I said it, it sounded far too cruel.

“Kill the cleaners. orbit Or rather… let the Creatures kill them.”

So I hurried to explain.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Neither Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno nor the Captains, who weren’t here right now…

But while trying to justify myself, I realized something.

would have any problem killing NPCs, whether they were guilty or innocent.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

To them, an NPC was still just an NPC.

“Until the night after tomorrow, if possible.”

“Until when?”

“…In any case. silence So please do it without worrying. acoustic In the end, the only cleaners who should remain alive are you and the Captains.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

This was already a game whose endings had all been completed.

If the cleaners died too quickly, that would also raise suspicion, so I planned to spread their deaths over the course of three days.

Meanwhile, I would gather as much information about the Master as possible.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

And if it truly was possible to create that DLC.

An expansion.

My goal was to create a DLC for CCC with my own hands.

In other words.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The East Wing garden.”

“Which area were you assigned to, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno?”

I was convinced that the Master, who never returned to the mansion, would be the key to the new ending.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘As expected of a Footman chosen by the Butlers.’

Pruning trees was something he could easily do with his metal hand.

Footman Zeta had truly assigned him an area that suited him perfectly.

Apparently, he had been assigned to maintain the ornamental trees.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“He definitely knows how to do his job.”

The plan was to communicate with the Captains through Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and pass along any instructions if something came up.

“I’ll send you a Message every night. shadow Please come whenever you receive it.”

In any case, the East Wing garden would make it much easier for us to stay in contact.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed like the simplest method.

“Is that all?”

After outlining the overall situation, I told him where the Captains had been assigned and asked him, if possible, to check on Mo Haein first.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how safe we might be inside the room, staying there for too long was still dangerous.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno. alpha Would you mind if I touched the metallic part of your body just once?”

Just as I was about to send Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno on his way, I remembered something that had been bothering me ever since we entered CCC.

“Yes. beacon That’s all.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

It felt cold and completely solid.

As though he found the request amusing, his eyes curved slightly.

Careful not to touch the blade, I very gently held the tip of his metal hand.

Then he extended his hand without the slightest resistance.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Butlers’ heads seem to be made of the same metal as you.”

I let go of his hand and said honestly,

I tried applying a little pressure with my fingers, but it didn’t give even a millimeter.

It felt completely different from the Rabbit Butler’s metallic ears, which bent easily when touched.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

So it only looked similar?

“It’s not the same.”

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno’s eyes curved even more.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he gave me a wink and abruptly opened the room’s door.

ㅇ <

I wanted to ask more, but Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno put his glasses back on.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment it identified its target, it began walking backward toward him.

Thump!

The adorable doll turned its head one hundred and eighty degrees to look at Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Standing in the hallway was a porcelain doll shaped like a little girl wearing an elegant dress.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Every time its tiny feet touched the floor, the entire hallway rumbled as though a giant were running through it.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

And just as the porcelain doll rushed toward him at full speed, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno charged at it even faster.

Only once.

Crash!

He shot forward like an arrow and cheerfully swung his metal hand.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Crunch.

Crunch.

With a single strike, the doll was shattered into pieces.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

But Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno also needed to indulge in his hobby a little if he wanted to keep his sanity in a place like this.

As he stepped over the porcelain fragments, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno made a couple of motions through the air, as though regretting that it had ended so quickly.

‘Maybe I should’ve told him not to kill too many Creatures.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

So I didn’t try to stop him.

He would probably enjoy himself for a while before going to find the Captains.

Even if I had, he wouldn’t have listened anyway.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

I closed the door and returned to the room.

I flopped face-first onto the bed and slowly blinked as my eyes were already beginning to close.

Suddenly, all the exhaustion I had been ignoring hit me at once.

‘I’ll just close my eyes for a moment, then I’ll get up.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

I still had to check the item Samra had given me.

But I fell asleep instantly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

When I opened my eyes, it was already morning.

After hurriedly getting ready, I opened the door and found the Rabbit Butler waiting for me.

I jumped out of bed and straightened my rumpled clothes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Without lowering the hand he had raised, he gave me a gentle wave.

He looked as though he had been about to knock, one hand already raised.

“Gunbam. atom Good morning.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Good morning.”

The Rabbit Butler intended to take me to the dining room.

“Come eat.”

I replied with a smile.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then do you want to go to work?”

In fact, I felt like I could even skip lunch.

I wasn’t hungry at all.

“Ah, there’s no need. afford I think I ate too much last night.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although the Creatures must have devoured quite a few cleaners during the night, the mansion hardly seemed to have changed.

“Yes!”

I answered enthusiastically.

The Rabbit Butler led me toward the main building.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was rather strange.

When we reached the central hall of the main building, all twelve Footmen were gathered there.

It should have been gleaming brilliantly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The Footmen are shorter than the Butlers.’

Standing before them was the Cat Butler.

The twelve Footmen stood in two rows of six, and every single one of them looked exactly alike, as though they had been copied and pasted.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Butlers were about eight feet two inches tall.

The Footmen stood at around seven feet seven inches tall.

And judging by the proportions of the mansion, I estimated that the Master had to be around ten feet tall.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Cat Butler, who had been pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back while inspecting the Footmen, spotted me and hurried over.

I wondered whether I would grow taller as well if I ever became an official Butler.

At my current height, working in the mansion was rather inconvenient.

‘Could it be that the higher your rank, the taller you become?’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Day News?’

Surprised to see such an old-fashioned medium, I glanced at it out of habit.

He handed me a newspaper.

“Gunbam!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh…?”

Below it was a large headline accompanied by an article.

The first thing that caught my eye was the newspaper’s name, which felt strangely familiar.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

That one I could actually read.

But almost all of it was covered by black blocks.

While I was still confused, the Rabbit Butler pointed at a small article in one corner of the newspaper.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

The spacecraft belonging to the cleaning service company “Clean! agent Clean! acquire Clean!” was shot down while traveling along its regular flight route.

The ship was struck by a high-energy missile that could not be detected. adapt Immediately after the impact, it exploded and was reduced to fragments. alert All employees aboard the vessel were killed.

At this time, the party responsible for the attack remains unknown.

<Cleaning Company Ship Shot Down by an Unknown Attack!>

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 42 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was an article reporting that the spaceship that was supposed to come and pick us up had been struck by a missile and blown to pieces.

“Clean! amateur Clean! orbit Clean!” has currently suspended all new cleaning reservations and has also canceled the dispatch of ships to retrieve the cleaners currently deployed.
