I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

I stared fixedly at the teacup’s saucer.

While looking at the symbol engraved on the underside, I opened my status window.

It slowly rotated so I could examine both sides with ease.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

I was certain the system had declared me dead.

The number of hearts was still the same.

— Han Goyo (Lamb) ♥×1

I checked the first line.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

I opened my mouth to confirm the true source of the fear I was feeling.

And yet, I hadn’t revived at the hotel, nor had I lost a life.

“Was it you who brought me back to life?”

“Mr. galaxy Dominic…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he calmly put his glove back on.

“Yes. airport I was the one who brought Mr. alpha Gunbam back to life.”

The blood staining Dominic’s hand slowly disappeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Was that disrespectful of me?”

“I’ll be more careful next time. riddle Ah, I already knew that Mr. artist Gunbam could come back to life. album But I found something interesting and wanted to show it to you as soon as possible. accent Besides, it would have taken you quite a while to return here from the hotel, wouldn’t it?”

And, with the utmost courtesy, he asked,

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

The being before me had transcended the rules of the Trial.

As he spoke so calmly, I found myself unable to answer.

Then.

His pleasant, deep voice echoed softly in my ears.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

How was I supposed to define something like this?

I felt as though I were falling endlessly into a bottomless abyss.

A being that defied even the system itself.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter what I concluded, he would always be beyond my predictions.

I moved my dry lips.

At this point, my guesses were meaningless.

“No… Thank you.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Dominic feels sympathy toward me, and I’ll take full advantage of that sympathy to clear Call of the Void as quickly as possible.’

So I had to focus only on what I knew for certain.

Because he was a being I had never encountered before.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the best thing I could do.

Of course, after clearing the Trial, Dominic might cause some kind of anomaly.

‘Leave Dominic here and get out of this place.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

He wasn’t a being that I, as I am now, could deal with.

That would be the worst possible outcome.

And if I failed to clear Call of the Void because I was worrying about other things and ended up trapped here…

‘But that’ll be a problem for then.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

I tried to think positively.

“Mr. alpha Dominic.”

‘Clearing the Trial is the only way to survive.’

And then I found an enormous advantage.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If I die again, can you revive me again? airport How many times could you do it?”

He could revive me every time I died?

“Yes, Mr. ability Gunbam.”

“As many times as you wish, Mr. arctic Gunbam.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if I did something reckless and died, it wouldn’t matter.

‘That means infinite lives.’

And not at the designated respawn point, but exactly where I had died?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

After asking him as politely as possible, I also made sure to praise him to keep his spirits high.

“I’ll continue relying on you. crystal If I die, please revive me immediately.”

“I’m truly glad you’re my companion, Mr. harbor Dominic. auction If I had been alone, all of this would have been far too frightening and difficult.”

After realizing that enormous advantage, living alongside Dominic no longer seemed like such a bad idea.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic is the best.

Then Dominic let out a soft chuckle.

I spent quite a while repeating compliments like those.

Dominic is amazing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

In reality, that symbol did belong to the Order of the Apostles of the Void, but it appeared everywhere as you gathered evidence.

After praising him enough to put him in a good mood, I finally picked up the saucer that was still floating in the air.

On its underside was a symbol resembling the Eye of Horus.

“It’s the emblem used by the Order of the Apostles of the Void in their rituals. adapt Thanks to you, Mr. apple Dominic, things will be much easier.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, I continued showering Dominic with praise.

Then my expression hardened.

“It seems the Order tried to poison me, but I don’t know why. canvas I have a feeling this is only the beginning.”

It didn’t serve any important purpose in Call of the Void; it simply reinforced the game’s unsettling atmosphere.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

In Call of the Void, surviving an assassination attempt didn’t solve the problem.

Until the hostile relationship disappeared, the assassination attempts would continue, whether by poison or other means.

I didn’t understand why she had suddenly tried to poison me, but considering all the possibilities, she was the only suspect.

‘It was probably Edel…’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

You have been poisoned by a hostile character. athlete Tell Dr. acoustic Dominic who you believe is behind the attack.
— Say that he is the culprit.
— Say that Prophet Edel is the culprit.
— Say that the hotel employee is the culprit.
— Say that there is a third party behind everything.
— Say that you want to learn more about the Outer God the Order of the Apostles of the Void is trying to summon.

Just then, a new system window appeared.

I chose the second.

I had only met a handful of NPCs so far, so the available options were quite limited.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘That damned option about the Order of the Apostles of the Void never disappears.’

Prophet Edel has been identified to Dr. meadow Dominic as the one responsible for the poisoning.
— Say that you are afraid of Prophet Edel.
— Propose confronting Prophet Edel directly.
— Say that you want to learn more about the Outer God the Order of the Apostles of the Void is trying to summon.

“I believe Prophet Edel is the one who tried to poison me.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

I thought for a moment as I looked at the options.

But this time, since I was following the journalist route, becoming Edel’s enemy seemed inevitable.

Until now, whenever I entered a Trial, I had always tried to get along with the important NPCs.

Although after dying once the wording had become more normal and the content had changed a little, it was still just as irritating.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I let her do as she pleased, she would end up making my life difficult in countless ways.

In any case, she held enormous influence throughout Mournveil.

The truth was that I actually liked Edel quite a bit, so it was a shame.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I intend to confront Edel head-on.”

I selected the second option.

I had no choice but to establish my position from the very beginning.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic asked with interest.

And as soon as the preset dialogue ended, I added my own words.

“What do you intend to do?”

“If I just sit back and do nothing, I’ll end up becoming an easy target. antique I think I should start taking a more aggressive approach as well.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Edel walked with light steps, humming a melody.

***

I showed him the teacup, which was still half full.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Knock, knock.

“I’m coming in.”

She knocked delicately on the door.

She stopped in front of the reception room and gently cleared her throat.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

She received no reply, but opened the door anyway.

She eagerly anticipated the scene she would find on the other side.

After all, she doubted there was anyone inside in any condition to give her permission to enter.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

But what she saw was a little different from what she had expected.

Suppressing the excitement that made her heart pound, she stepped into the room.

“Doctor…?”

Dominic was standing there, holding a corpse in his arms.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

But.

That was impossible.

And for an instant, Edel thought.

His beautiful blue eyes settled on Edel.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It can’t be…! admire Mr. action Lamb…!”

And, pretending to know absolutely nothing, she exclaimed dramatically,

Startled, she quickly ran toward Dominic.

It seemed to her that the doctor was smiling.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

She bit her lip hard to keep the joy from showing on her face.

He was completely dead.

She had eliminated an obstacle.

While pretending to check the body’s condition, she took the corpse’s wrist to feel for a pulse.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The doctor may have been a target as well! abstract We should take him somewhere safe immediately!”

“A murder has taken place inside the Order!”

When they saw the corpse hanging limply in Dr. meadow Dominic’s arms, they all cried out in horror.

Just then, as if they had been waiting for that moment, numerous members of the Order rushed into the room.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

The reply was a polite refusal.

“We’ll protect him!”

“Dr. apron Dominic. beacon Please allow us to escort you. athlete We must first determine what kind of poison killed Mr. apple Lamb, so if you could hand him over to us…”

Edel stepped in front of everyone and pleaded with Dominic.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dr. afford Dominic’s gaze lowered to the body with a strange look of anticipation.

Anticipation…?

“I don’t think that will be necessary, Miss Edel.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Edel blinked several times.

Questioning herself, she followed his gaze.

Had she misread that expression?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

The young man’s delicate face looked as though he were peacefully asleep.

And yet.

Those closed eyes would never open again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Color slowly returned to the face that had lost all signs of life.

When she witnessed what happened before her, Edel stopped breathing.

His slightly parted lips inhaled and exhaled air.

His chest began to rise again with each breath.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

She stood completely frozen.

As if he had just awakened from a restful sleep, his drowsy gaze turned toward Edel.

Then, little by little, his eyes began to open.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clear.

Those eyes were pure.

Lamb looked at her silently for a long time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t worry, Miss Edel.”

Finally, he spoke.

As if he were willing to forgive everything.

Then he gave her a gentle smile.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

So he knew everything.

The instant she heard that gentle whisper, a wave of revelation swept through her entire body.

He knew that she had tried to poison him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a genuine divine miracle.

And he also knew that he would come back to life.

Edel’s entire body began to tremble.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

As if struck by lightning, she cried out,

***

“Mr. ability Lamb has received a miracle and returned to life!”

“He came back to life…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, there was one indispensable condition.

A single resurrection was enough to make any conflict within the Order disappear as though it had never existed, replaced by absolute devotion toward me.

Resurrecting in front of everyone was a trick I frequently used when following the cult leader route.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

But now I had Dominic.

That was why, before I could set the altar as my respawn point, this strategy had been impossible to use.

The members of the Order had to witness the resurrection.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

I drank the rest of the tea.

And he did exactly what I wanted.

And I died.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

You will resurrect in front of Dr. harbor Dominic.

Since I was going to die anyway, I took the opportunity to carefully observe the system window as it appeared.

— You have died.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, seeing that window appear so naturally, as though it had always functioned that way, was just as unsettling.

I slowly opened my eyes.

Unlike the first time, the system didn’t suffer any abnormalities.

The reception room was packed with members of the Order.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Her eyes were wide open, and she was trembling in shock.

Edel stood at the very front.

It was exactly the reaction I had expected.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t worry, Miss Edel.”

So I finished the job.

I know everything.

But I forgive you.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

And Edel reacted even better than I had imagined.

Before all the members of the Order, she proclaimed my resurrection.

I conveyed that message with those few words.

So you know how you should behave.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thank you, Leader.

“Mr. admire Lamb has received a miracle and returned to life!”

I thanked her silently.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the effect had been far better than I expected.

It was the first time I had used resurrection during the journalist route.

They treated me with the highest honors.

I immediately became the VVIP guest of the Order of the Apostles of the Void.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how much I insisted it wasn’t necessary, she absolutely refused to leave my side.

The way she dressed made me extremely uncomfortable, but I was afraid that rejecting her would turn us into enemies again, so I decided to put up with it for the time being.

They prepared an enormous banquet, and Edel remained by my side the entire time, personally attending to me.

“We failed to recognize someone as precious as you, and because of that, you had to endure such suffering. alpha Please forgive us, Mr. audit Lamb.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before she could truly burst into tears, I hurried to comfort her.

“No, it’s alright. portal Everyone makes mistakes.”

She even started crying as she spoke.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Edel immediately wiped away her tears and began looking at me with even greater devotion.

“What immense compassion!”

And I felt even more uncomfortable.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I knew perfectly well what those same hands, now trying to serve me food, were capable of.

“How wonderful it would be if you joined the Order. auction There is countless knowledge of the stars that I wish to share with you. orbit Although perhaps it’s too soon to speak of that. absorb How about touring our facilities today? galaxy If you have any questions, ask me whatever you wish.”

Accepting dishes offered by a true expert in human sacrifice was rather unsettling.

Her sing-song voice sounded charming.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

With him, however, a single refusal was enough for them to stop offering him anything.

Throughout the banquet, Dominic remained engaged in conversation with the members of the Order.

As I ate with obvious discomfort, I glanced toward Dominic.

They constantly urged me to eat more.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

I swallowed the bite Edel had served me and lowered my voice.

Now that he was farther away, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Everyone seemed to feel a certain fear toward Dominic.

As though he were a sanctuary that no one should approach lightly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Edel smiled sweetly.

“It’s a secret we normally don’t reveal to outsiders, but you’re special, Mr. athlete Lamb, so I’ll tell you.”

“By the way, Miss Edel, how did you end up becoming one of Mr. arena Dominic’s patients?”

She brought her lips close to my ear.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What?”

I felt her breath against my skin, and a shiver ran down my back.

“Everyone in Mournveil was treated by Dr. amber Dominic.”

I pulled back abruptly to look at her.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

She looked up at me and whispered,

“Because he called us.”

Edel’s eyes were completely unfocused.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 51 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, with an entranced smile, she added,

“To his clinic.”

“All of us are Dr. beacon Dominic’s patients, Mr. arch Lamb.”
