I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

However, one thing was obvious.

Besides, deep down I knew that those errors in the choices were not something I could fix.

But I had been too busy worrying about Dominic to stop and think about them.

Ever since I entered Mournveil and met Dominic, the system’s choices had been strange.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

They kept presenting options to join the Order of the Apostles of the Void and spark my interest in the god they worshipped.

They wanted me to follow the Order leader route.

The choices were constantly trying to push me in the same direction.

It was the god whose summoning had failed because of a game bug when I followed the Order leader route in Call of the Void.

And now, at last, they were forcing me to use the Order’s sacred relic to summon the Outer God.

I knew the Outer God.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, the game’s very title was Call of the Void.

I was convinced that the Outer God was the true ending of Call of the Void.

I recalled the grandest title attributed to it.

Besides, the titles used to describe it were impressive.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The Lord of All…’

And now the system was asking me to attempt that failed summoning once again.

It was a title anyone would recognize as belonging to the final boss.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

As I looked at the system window, I shifted my gaze.

The person I thought would be staring at the Luminous Irregular Polyhedron was looking at me instead.

On the journalist route.

And in front of Dominic.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

I absolutely must not perform the summoning ritual in front of Dominic.

My heart began beating faster and faster.

As though waiting to see what decision I would make.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Cold sweat began running down my back, as if I were standing before a bomb about to explode.

But every available option involved summoning the Outer God.

My instincts were setting off every alarm in my body.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Just as I thought only that one is left.’

I read the options again.

I chose the last one.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m sure you and I can summon the god! riddle The Lord of All will descend upon this land!”

Holding the metal box containing the Luminous Irregular Polyhedron with both hands as if it were the most precious treasure in the world, I exclaimed excitedly,

“Mr. voyage Dominic. meadow Let’s summon the Outer God together.”

My body completely escaped my control and spoke the predetermined words.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

But, as always, it was impossible to speak or act in a way that directly contradicted the dialogue imposed by the chosen option.

I tried to say something completely different.

It was a speech worthy of the most deranged fanatic.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was only natural.

It was a Trial based on a game of choices.

I stood completely still, waiting only for Dominic’s reaction.

Outwardly, I looked like a fanatic ready to begin the ritual at any moment.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Inside, anxiety was crushing me.

He slowly parted his lips.

“Mr. apron Gunbam.”

By then, Dominic’s expression had already calmed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Please.

“Weren’t you supposed to come here as a journalist to expose the Order’s atrocities?”

It worked!

Please…

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Honestly, it had been a gamble.

He had reacted exactly as I had hoped.

I had to fight the urge to hug Dominic and start shouting with joy.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, I bet everything on the words together with Dominic.

But only the last one mentioned Dominic.

It was the most suspicious one, the one with the largest letters.

Every option demanded performing the summoning.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all.

He was a being outside the system.

And besides.

I was convinced Dominic would notice the contradiction between my previous actions and the behavior the system was forcing me to display.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was why I assumed he would find the very idea of summoning a being superior to himself distasteful.

“The Lord of All? alien What a ridiculous expression. apple I’ve never allowed anyone to exist above me.”

He was the Master.

Dominic’s true identity wasn’t that of a doctor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Master of the mansion had to occupy an unimaginably exalted position.

Fortunately, Dominic reacted exactly as I had anticipated.

So even if he had lost his memory, I thought he wouldn’t appreciate hearing that someone greater than himself existed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

I continued praising him without pause so that, if something like this happened again, he would once again pull me out of the hell of the system’s choices.

With tears of emotion almost welling up in my eyes, I began showering him with praise.

“Forgive me. sphere I think, for a moment, I had the wrong idea. acquire I’m truly glad to have someone like you as my companion, Mr. armor Dominic, someone who always guides me down the right path.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

And I took the opportunity to blame my behavior on that cursed object.

I quickly placed the metal box on the floor, took out the camera, and snapped a photograph.

“The truth is, Mr. absorb Dominic… what I just said and did, difficult as it may be to believe, wasn’t of my own free will. apple I think it was all because of this object’s power.”

The first one came out blurry, so I took another.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. palette Gunbam.”

However, while I had already gotten to my feet, Dominic was still kneeling in front of the box.

Then I immediately closed the box.

I wanted to leave that place as quickly as possible.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

In that position, he was only slightly shorter than I was.

Our eyes were almost at the same level.

I answered somewhat uneasily.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes…?”

That was what I wanted to answer.

“Would you mind if I observed this object a little longer?”

No, please.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I think it’s a dangerous object.”

So I replied cautiously.

But I wasn’t in a position to do so.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

The inside of the hidden chamber was completely dark.

“Even so, I feel that if I keep looking at it, I might remember something.”

And yet, Dominic’s blue eyes shone like a star.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. amateur Dominic.”

“I’d rather you didn’t. atomic As your companion, I can’t allow you to approach something so dangerous.”

Careful not to be drawn into that abyss disguised as starlight, I held his gaze.

“Yes, Mr. aspect Gunbam.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

I placed one hand over my chest and, with the other, barely brushed his shoulder as I spoke.

There wasn’t a single lie in those words.

“It frightens me to think that something might happen to you.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

In either case, I was dead.

Whether he summoned the Outer God or recovered his memories.

My life would literally become cosmic dust.

If Dominic were to change.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You don’t need to take such a risk. apron I’m sure you’ll recover your memories someday.”

Dominic watched me silently for a few moments.

At no point did I say that I would be the one to help him recover them.

After the lesson the butlers had taught me, I was still paying the price for making promises too lightly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately, Dominic finally gave up on the box and stood up.

Then he slowly repeated part of what I had said.

I didn’t understand why that, of all things, was what had impressed him the most.

“You’re… sure…?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just before leaving the passageway, I cast one last glance behind me.

“We’d better leave this place.”

After successfully convincing him, I quickly led Dominic out of there. advance Once again, he had to walk completely hunched over.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

The metal box containing the Luminous Irregular Polyhedron was still emitting a faint glow even in the middle of the darkness.

Deep down, I wanted to bombard him with questions about when, where, and how he had seen it.

But that could become the trigger for him to recover his memories.

“It’s something I had already seen in the past.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had absolutely no intention of bringing up anything related to his memories again.

And I intended to keep doing so.

That was why I was avoiding, as much as possible, any topic related to his past.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

What kind of being was Dominic?

With that unanswered question lingering in my mind, I looked away from the metal box.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Evidence gathered so far: 8.

— Companions recruited: Dr. echo Dominic, Prophet Edel.

With eight pieces of evidence gathered and two companions recruited, I welcomed the morning with a great sense of satisfaction.

It is the third day in Mournveil.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

The previous day, after finishing my investigation inside the Order, I barely managed to get away from Edel, who insisted on keeping me there, and headed to the train station.

I sent the Mist’s Breath item to London to have its components analyzed.

Dominic accompanied me the entire time.

Then I traveled around Mournveil to unlock new travel destinations.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before leaving my bedroom to meet Dominic in the living room, I took a few moments to breathe deeply and calm myself.

To the point that I began to believe what Edel had said—that Dominic had treated every resident of Mournveil—wasn’t an exaggeration, but the plain truth.

There wasn’t a single person in Mournveil who didn’t know him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then I gathered my courage and opened the door.

My cheerful greeting immediately turned into a cry of surprise.

“Good morning, Mr. legend Dominic… what is all this?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Amid that mountain of flowers, Dominic was pretending to read the newspaper and pretending to drink tea with complete composure.

The enormous living room was completely covered in flowers.

“Good morning, Mr. anxiety Gunbam.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

I stared at him in complete bewilderment.

Absurd as it seemed, Dominic surrounded by flowers was a surprisingly harmonious sight.

“But where did all these flowers come from…?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then an idea crossed my mind.

Dominic smiled faintly.

“Don’t tell me they were from Miss Edel…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

I had a reason for guessing it immediately.

“How did you know? autumn Miss Edel sent them for you, Mr. academy Gunbam.”

When I followed the Order leader route and recruited Edel as my companion, something very similar happened to me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Sometimes I’d wake up and find her singing and dancing inside my room.

The mountains of flowers and gifts were only the beginning.

Back then, we lived inside the Order’s headquarters, so Edel constantly came to see me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

She did absolutely everything one would expect from a fanatical believer.

“Ah, Mr. ability Gunbam! antenna My beloved prophet! august I’d do anything for you!”

She would even burst into tears while saying how happy she was to be able to serve Mr. adjust Gunbam.

Or she’d put on performances with the Twelve Apostles exclusively for me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

In the game, from the moment she gave you her heart, Edel began following you with absolute devotion and expressing her affection passionately.

It was impossible not to grow fond of her.

‘At least when I was the Order’s leader, I could change the Apostles’ clothes.’

Although I never imagined it would happen on the journalist route as well.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Tonight, I would very much like to show you the ritual we will be holding.

Remembering how I had forced them to wear far more decent clothing, I picked up the card that came with that explosion of flowers.

Please come and see me.

I hope you’ll accept these flowers as thanks for the ones I received yesterday.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

I think it’s still far too early to be talking about love.

We’ve only known each other for two days.

— With affection, Edel.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you going?”

Dominic asked with obvious curiosity.

That straightforward letter left me completely speechless.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because tonight’s ritual won’t take place.”

I slowly shook my head.

“I won’t be able to.”

Seeing his interest, I explained why.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the third day in Mournveil.

“Exactly.”

That day, we had to rescue the people being held captive as sacrifices for the Order’s ritual.

“Will we be the ones to stop it?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“First, we need to visit Mournveil’s town hall and persuade the mayor.”

After explaining the plan to Dominic, I told him the first step.

It was one of the most important events on the journalist route because it allowed you to gather evidence while also preventing the human sacrifice by saving the victims.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

As he listened to the plan, Dominic asked,

He was a man completely corrupted by the benefits he received from the Order of the Apostles of the Void.

He was in league with them, so convincing him wouldn’t be easy.

We needed to prepare carefully before speaking to him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“We’ll go to the place where they’re keeping the victims captive and free them.”

“And after that?”

My intention was to get the mayor to mobilize the authorities to protect them once they had been rescued.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as I was about to continue explaining the plan—

Someone pounded on the door.

Bang! anxiety Bang! canvas Bang!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

Puzzled, I went to open it.

Several police officers were standing outside.

The knocking was far too forceful to be the hotel staff.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Y-Yes… that’s me…”

“We’re with the Mournveil Police. zenith Are you Mr. aspect Lamb?”

A man holding a baton looked at me with obvious suspicion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 53 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. harbor Lamb! legend You are under arrest for the murder of the Mayor of Mournveil!”

Iron handcuffs snapped shut around my wrists.

Click!

Then a thunderous voice roared so loudly it almost deafened me.
