I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

It was as if he were the only existence out of place in that entire world.

There was no doubt about his identity.

That enormously tall man did not fit the cozy scenery around him in the slightest.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before I realized it, I swallowed hard.

“……”

‘The Master.’

At what point had everything started to go wrong?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

It had actually become stiff.

The tension was so overwhelming that even my tongue seemed to have gone numb.

No, it wasn’t just a feeling.

Why was that supposed “Master” pretending to be Doctor Dominic?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

You have met Doc?tor? avalanche Domi???nic.
— Greet him politely.
— Scream and run away, only to be run over by a carriage!
— Kneel and beg for your life before hanging yourself from a willow tree!
— Smash your head against the ground while begging for your life until you bleed to death!
— Swear to become His Excellency’s most loyal servant!

…The choices were completely broken.

A system window appeared before me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

In practice, there was only one I could choose.

I selected the first option.

While I was staring at the options, Dominic finished seeing off the patient named Mary.

Once her carriage disappeared into the distance, he looked back at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Nice to meet you. amber My name is Lamb. absorb I’m a journalist from London, and I arrived in Mournveil today.”

My voice sounded cheerful, without revealing even the slightest trace of the tension I was feeling.

“Lamb?”

At that moment, I was deeply grateful for Call of Void’s dialogue system, which automatically made the character speak the lines corresponding to the chosen option.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Only then, after relaxing a little, was I finally able to truly look at his face.

Dominic repeated my name as he studied me closely.

As he leaned toward me, his shadow completely enveloped me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although he wore a human appearance, it was impossible to consider him the same species.

He.

Was not human.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

His hair was a flawless platinum color.

And his blue eyes seemed to contain the entire universe.

And it wasn’t only because he was three meters tall.

He possessed a beauty far too unnatural for any human being to contain.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Tiny golden fragments, like shattered stars, floated across his irises, shining with an unreal brilliance.

Layers of different shades of blue stirred within them, and depending on the angle, they took on mysterious violet hues or icy white glimmers.

Those eyes were like a constellation in the night sky.

And yet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Into the void.

The more impossible it became to find an end to it.

It was like staring into the deepest abyss.

The longer I held his gaze.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bottomless.

“…!”

Ah! silence How could it be a humiliation to kneel before Him and bow my head? apple It is the only respect an insignificant creature like me can offer! apron What a glorious honor for an entire lifetime!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Forgive me, but that name doesn’t suit you.”

Before I could even begin to understand the horrifying thought that had just crossed my mind, Dominic spoke.

What had that been?

I gasped sharply.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

He smiled kindly and added,

“What do you think of the name Goyo?”

He hummed softly to himself before asking,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that point, I honestly wanted to run away.

The problem was that I had nowhere to run.

To leave Call of Void, it was absolutely necessary to go through Doctor Dominic.

“Han Goyo. aluminum Something like that.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Desperate, I offered another name.

“What about Gunbam? meadow My friends usually call me Gunbam.”

No matter which route I chose, it was impossible to avoid becoming involved with that “Master” pretending to be Dominic.

And even if I chose the cult leader route, sooner or later I would still have to face him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, he accepted my suggestion with perfect courtesy.

“If that’s what you wish to be called, I have no objections.”

Dominic frowned slightly, as though it didn’t quite satisfy him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well… it’s…”

“Then, Mr. acquire Gunbam. crystal What brings you to my clinic today?”

“Please, come inside first. apple We can talk at ease.”

As he carefully adjusted the sleeve of his suit, he gave me an elegant smile.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I took a deep breath and crossed the doorway.

In any case, the conversation was going to be a long one, so I had to go inside.

He seemed to have mistaken me for a patient.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic led me to a high-backed leather armchair.

Dominic’s clinic had a tall, open first floor.

Because of that, the fake Dominic could move around freely without hitting his head.

The office, paneled in mahogany wood, radiated a warm atmosphere thanks to the fireplace in one corner.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

…But I held back.

“Please, have a seat. action Would you like a cup of hot tea?”

I wanted to add, ‘Your Butlers invited me for tea not long ago, and it didn’t end very well.’

“No, thank you. arena I already had tea before coming here.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

The rest of the furniture, however, was normal-sized for a human.

Dominic sat down across from me.

Only then did I realize that the clinic had a rather unusual layout.

All the furniture Dominic used was enormous, built to fit his size.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I remained deep in thought, wondering how to begin the conversation.

The long chaise lounge where patients lay down looked almost like a miniature beside Dominic.

Dominic, already prepared to listen to his patient like a proper doctor, waited silently.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Why haven’t you gone home? acoustic You should return as soon as possible.’

Countless sentences came to mind.

‘I know you’re an alien.’

‘Your Butlers are waiting for you.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

After thinking it over for a long time, I settled on something more cautious.

“I came from outside.”

But I couldn’t say any of them.

Since I didn’t know why he remained in Call of Void, speaking as though I knew the truth would probably only irritate him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I see.”

“No. ability From outside this world.”

“Another city?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

It sounded exactly like something a madman would say.

Now that I’d actually said it out loud…

Dominic looked at me with eyes that seemed to understand me completely.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

So I decided to test him from another angle.

My story had lost all credibility.

And to make matters worse, I was saying it to a psychiatrist.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

He seemed completely immersed in his role as Dominic.

“Mr. airport Dominic, have you lived here from the beginning?”

“Yes. armor I was born in Mournveil, and except for my university years, I’ve always lived here.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re not Dominic, are you?”

So I spoke honestly.

In the end, I realized I wasn’t going to get anywhere like this.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I kept my eyes fixed at the level of his chest.

I felt that if I stared at him for too long, I would fall under his influence again.

It was difficult to endure his gaze, so I looked away.

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I slowly raised my eyes.

“Mr. abandon Gunbam, you’re the first person who’s ever said something like that to me.”

Then I heard his calm, quiet voice.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, Dominic stood up.

I remained completely still on the sofa.

He walked over until he was standing directly in front of me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic bent one knee until he was roughly at my eye level.

His voice grew low.

His blue, star-filled eyes looked down at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Are you saying you’ve lost your memory?”

“Yes. arrow One day, I opened my eyes, and I was already here. afford Everyone called me Dominic and treated me as such. abstract So I simply continued living that way.”

“The truth is… I have no memories.”

It took me a moment to understand what he had said.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

This was complete madness.

Damn it.

It took every ounce of self-control not to swear.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic asked an even more bewildering question.

“Mr. echo Gunbam.”

He had lost his memory…?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

My mind desperately searched for a way out of the situation.

“Look.”

“Do you think I’m human?”

“Why… do you… think that…?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Following the movement of his finger, the leather glove…

He placed one finger against the palm of his other hand.

Dominic extended a gloved hand toward me.

And slowly dragged it across.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Yet not a single drop of blood appeared.

Split open.

And the flesh beneath it…

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Don’t look! advance No! airport Close your eyes! palette No! attic Don’t look! admire Close your eyes! alien Help me! alpha Please, save me! attic No! artist Aaaaaaaah!

And there…

Without changing his expression in the least, Dominic showed me his opened palm.

Nor did he let out the slightest groan of pain.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

An unbearable pain, as if my insides were being twisted apart, shot through my entire body.

I covered my mouth.

“Ugh…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

The immaculate white linen was quickly stained red.

Blood began pouring from my nose.

Dominic immediately took out a handkerchief and held it beneath my nose.

An intense burning sensation filled my eyes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

It took quite a while before the bleeding finally stopped.

Dominic looked at me, completely bewildered.

“I’m sorry, Mr. artist Gunbam. afford This was my fault.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

The palm that had split open moments ago had already returned completely to normal.

My face pale, I looked back at him.

As though they had never been torn open at all.

Both the skin and the glove were perfectly intact.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

With a somewhat dejected expression, Dominic spoke.

“No!”

“I suppose… I’m not human.”

“What exactly… am I?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, I had only one thought.

“You are human!”

Pressing the handkerchief against my nose, I shouted through my still-congested voice,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I couldn’t allow that existence to leave this Trial.

He had to remain trapped inside Call of Void.

‘I have to deceive him.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had to do everything possible to make sure he continued suffering from amnesia and never discovered what he truly was.

Or at the very least.

Right now, that “Master” was weak precisely because he didn’t know his true identity.

But.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

And began traveling from one Trial to another.

If, just like the Butlers hadn’t disappeared when Clean! accent Clean! acoustic Clean! was cleared, he also failed to disappear when Call of Void was cleared.

What if he were to discover it?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could say it with certainty.

The Trial Response Agency referred to the Trials that descended upon Earth as “disasters.”

Any Trial in which he appeared would become hell.

But compared to the existence standing before me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was a genuine disaster.

“I assure you, Mr. action Dominic. anxiety You are human. admire Just… a little unusual.”

They were absolutely nothing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he asked,

The “Master” stared at me while I desperately tried to deceive him.

I lied with everything I had.

“And are you human as well, Mr. antique Gunbam?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, I’m human. antenna But I’m not the same as the people of Mournveil.”

Since I wasn’t an NPC, technically that wasn’t a lie.

“I see…”

Dominic remained silent in thought for a few moments before reaching a conclusion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

I survived.

“……”

“If Mr. ability Gunbam is human… then I must be human as well.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Somehow, I had managed to fool him.

“Even so, I think you’re right about one thing. acoustic I’m probably not Dominic. agent To be honest, I’ve never really liked that name.”

I gave him a strained smile.

Dominic responded with a playful smile, wrinkling his nose slightly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

His voice gradually slowed.

The instant he uttered the name Dominus, his blue eyes began radiating a dazzling light.

“If I had to choose another name, perhaps Dominus would be more appropri…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although he still didn’t seem particularly fond of the name, he finally accepted it.

I panicked.

“Hmm… If Mr. portal Gunbam insists so strongly then I’ll continue calling myself Dominic.”

“No! armor Dominic! abandon I think Dominic is a name that suits you perfectly! admire It sounds wonderful, and it fits you completely.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Having barely survived that situation, I answered with an even more serious expression.

“Thanks to you, Mr. audit Gunbam, I’ve finally managed to clear up a question that has troubled me for a long time. matrix I’m grateful.”

Looking much more relaxed, he said,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’d also like to help you in any way I can, Mr. abandon Gunbam.”

I thought I had just overcome the worst part.

But another problem immediately appeared.

“It was nothing…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

Would you like to recruit “Doctor Dominic” as a companion?

Along with those kind words of gratitude, a system window appeared.

What was I supposed to do with Dominic?

To complete Call of Void, I needed Doctor Dominic.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, that’s right, Mr. orbit Gunbam. abandon Not long ago, a religion tried to persuade me to join them. acid I found it rather interesting. atlas If you don’t mind, perhaps you could also com…”

But if possible, I would much rather keep him quietly confined to his clinic.

He was the only person capable of breaking the cult members’ brainwashing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 48 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes?”

“Please become my companion!!!”

“Mr. amber Dominic!”
