I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

I swallowed the curse that was about to escape my lips.

The moment I heard that confirmation, countless thoughts raced through my mind.

And, trying to remain as calm as possible, I said,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I think it is. sphere There are missions, and besides, it’s one of the Developer’s games that I had already played.”

— That’s correct. antique We can’t even say with certainty that the place where you are, Mr. atomic Han Goyo, is actually a Trial.

“Then… even if I complete the Trial, it’s possible I won’t be able to get out.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

After saying that, we both remained silent for a few moments.

— As you already know, the place where a Trial hatches is related to its content. antique If it had hatched normally, it would probably have been a Trial located in the United Kingdom. antenna However, at this moment, there is no information about that Trial anywhere.

I gave him a brief summary of Call of the Void, and while he listened to my explanation, Samra began searching for information in real time.

— Could you explain what that Trial is about?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I put a little blood on it.”

— How did you activate the badge?

But he soon began asking questions to find a solution.

Even Samra was at a loss.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— We’ve tested similar objects many times, but this is the first time one has actually worked.

And what he said next was what truly surprised me.

I sensed a trace of surprise in his voice.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— I will be your operator.

Apparently, I was still valuable to Samra.

Was he going to support me as my operator?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Knowing I was connected to the outside world gave me an enormous sense of security.

I gripped the Hologram Badge inside my clothes again and asked,

It was as if, after drowning, someone had thrown me a lifebuoy.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you very much. absorb Can you hear the sounds around me too, or only my voice?”

Perhaps because it was an item, its performance far surpassed that of any conventional communication device.

I didn’t even need to hold the badge up to my ear to hear Samra clearly.

— I can only hear your voice, Mr. canvas Han Goyo.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

While quickly searching the mayor’s office, I continued with what I still hadn’t told him.

— What kind of anomaly?

“Uh… something strange is happening in Call of the Void right now.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I promised the butler NPCs from Trial of the Three Worlds that I would find the mansion’s Master. abandon And that Master is here, in Call of the Void.”

— …We received the report about your forced transfer caused by the butler NPCs.

Since we were communicating remotely, I couldn’t be certain, but I had the impression that Samra had been completely taken aback.

His response took much longer than usual.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— They are safe. august Focus on your own safety, Mr. silence Han Goyo. orbit Tell me about this NPC you call the mansion’s Master.

“Are the Lieutenant Colonel and the Captains all right?”

As I took out the wire to unlock a locked drawer, I asked,

“Yes…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, the bottom was shallower than it appeared from the outside.

When I opened the drawer, I found nothing but insignificant items.

As I searched for the mechanism to remove the false bottom, I explained who Dominic was.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

He could interfere with the system.

He was three meters tall.

He had lost his memory and didn’t know what kind of existence he was.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

As I finished explaining my plan to make use of Dominic’s goodwill and complete the Trial in order to escape, I finally managed to remove the false bottom of the drawer.

He was capable of transforming objects.

He exerted influence over NPCs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

★ You have found the “Secret Documents of the Mayor of Mournveil”!

“…That’s why we’re acting separately right now.”

Documents detailing the crimes of the Order of the Apostles of the Void.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Afraid the connection had been cut off, I hurriedly called out,

Only then did his voice return.

Only then did I realize I had been talking by myself for quite some time.

“Samra?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— I know perfectly well that you usually achieve unprecedented results precisely because you don’t act according to common sense. meadow But this time, it’s too dangerous.

— Mr. august Han Goyo.

“Yes?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The calm tone in which he admonished me was even more intimidating because it lacked any emotion.

“I’m sorry. admire But I had no other way to get out…”

I immediately lowered my head.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— I’ll look for similar cases. arch Please wait a moment.

— Can’t you cancel the companion relationship?

“I can, but if I cancel it unilaterally, he’ll become hostile immediately.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although he had said to wait a moment, Samra returned almost immediately.

I used the pause to quickly photograph the documents.

Perfect photograph! echo Registered as decisive evidence.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— It would be better not to break the companion relationship.

Then—

I nodded to myself and placed a hand on the windowsill to climb out of the mayor’s office.

It was exactly what I had expected.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Besides communication, the Hologram Badge has another function.

— Escape.

“What function?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment I heard that, I understood what he meant.

“…Escape?”

Video games had an escape function for when the character became stuck in an impossible position or a bug prevented the game from progressing.

— It’s a function created by taking advantage of the fact that this Trial is based on a video game.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

But before I could get my hopes up, Samra immediately brought me back to reality.

‘Could I get out right now?’

— The Escape function can only be used when the Trial enters a system error state.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you mean errors like when the text in the system windows becomes corrupted?”

Such a powerful function couldn’t be used without restrictions.

Even in video games, it existed only to resolve bugs.

That made sense.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Exactly.

— And for stability reasons, you will have to end the communication before using that function.

The connection to the outside world that I had finally established would have to be cut off again.

In other words, I would have to wait until the system glitched again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

But there was no need to say which of the two was more important.

I answered briefly.

“Understood.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Trial of the Three Worlds…?”

Then I finally asked the question I had wanted to ask from the very beginning but hadn’t dared to voice.

— It has been closed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Samra’s voice brought me back to my senses.

I felt relieved and, at the same time, a faint sense of emptiness.

The moment I heard that answer, Samra gave me exactly the information I had wanted to know.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

That thought made me smile faintly.

I didn’t know whether that kind of expression was appropriate for an android, but I felt that Samra was genuinely worried about me.

— I trust that you will return safely, Mr. canvas Han Goyo.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

No voice answered.

The communication had ended.

“Yes. abandon I’ll see you outside, Samra.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘For now, I’ll have to keep progressing through the Trial while looking for an opportunity to use Escape.’

I remained seated on the windowsill for a few moments, lost in thought.

I was alone again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed the system had already accepted it as normal for me to die and revive in front of Dominic.

As I organized a plan in my head, I suddenly stuck my head out the window.

The safest course would be to wait until Dominic caused another system error.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Booooong…

Then a bell rang.

Bong…

It wasn’t the usual bell that announced the time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘There was never an event in Call of the Void where an enemy army attacked.’

It rang out like an emergency alarm.

It wasn’t even the top of the hour, and the sound wasn’t normal either.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

I waited for the sound to stop.

At that moment, the door of the building across the street flew open.

People stepped out with vacant, almost hypnotized expressions.

And, as if it were a signal, every door along the street began opening one after another.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

All of them walked in a line toward the same place.

Something was terribly wrong.

It was the direction of the Order of the Apostles of the Void headquarters.

I leaned farther out the window to see where they were going.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

A system window appeared.

I chose the first option and left the mayor’s office through the open door.

Unfortunately, although the content was still strange, the text appeared completely normal.

An extraordinary event has begun.
— Leave.
— Leave and enjoy happiness.
— Leave and rejoice.
— Leave and praise the Outer God!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed that even the city hall employees had followed the sound of the bell to the Order.

The building was completely empty.

I had seen anomalies caused by NPCs or bosses in other Trials before.

The entire way down to the ground floor, I didn’t encounter a single person.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the perfect opportunity to approach the Order without attracting suspicion.

Puzzled, I decided to blend into the crowd.

But it was the first time I had seen so many NPCs affected by an anomaly at the same time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The only one who wasn’t smiling was me.

Everyone walking there was smiling.

Little by little, the Order’s building came into view.

As if they were heading off on a joyful vacation.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I knew it.

I had never heard it in Call of the Void.

Then a melody began to play.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

A grand choral symphony of male and female voices echoed everywhere.

Some kind of festival was taking place in front of the Order’s building.

It was Ode to Joy.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The black blade fell.

A young man and a young woman approached, grinning from ear to ear.

Two Apostles wielding enormous black swords stood on either side of the entrance, beckoning with their hands.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

I saw countless heads.

And came to rest beside an enormous pile of other heads.

They rolled across the ground.

Two heads flew through the air.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The beheadings continued.

Every single one still wore a blissful smile.

As I stood frozen, staring at the scene.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Only cheerful laughter mixed with the triumphant chorus of Ode to Joy.

There were no screams.

No cries of pain.

No desperate pleas.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

If Edel had followed Dominic’s instructions, then the ritual should have been using members of the Order as sacrifices.

“I’ll hold a grand ritual, Doctor.”

Blood flowed in such quantities that it was about to reach my feet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Don’t tell me everyone in Mournveil belongs to the Order?’

There was no other explanation for what I was seeing.

But Edel shouldn’t possess that kind of power.

Then an impossible conclusion crossed my mind.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Order’s power depended directly on the Outer God they invoked.

Everything began by making a contract with a low-ranking Outer God, and gradually they established contracts with increasingly powerful entities.

I knew that because I had played the cult leader route.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

During the cult leader route, Edel made contracts with numerous Outer Gods, and her body eventually became deformed into something resembling a chimera.

I would have known.

‘Because those who make contracts with an Outer God undergo physical transformations.’

If the current Prophet, Edel, had made a pact with an Outer God capable of granting such power.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

And then the game glitched before I could complete the summoning.

That was how I inherited the position of leader.

When I played Call of the Void, I had promised her that I would break all of those contracts by making a pact with the supreme entity.

When had everything started to go off course?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Blood soaked my shoes.

My face was reflected in a large crimson puddle.

I lowered my gaze.

I looked rather foolish.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The scattered fragments of my thoughts began coming together.

“……”

I fit every piece into place.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

From the very beginning.

And then I understood the truth.

Every anomaly that had occurred from the very moment I entered Call of the Void.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Apostles spotted me and cried out joyfully.

This world of Call of the Void had been clearly telling me what it wanted.

But I was already too late.

The instant I understood, I started running.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The two Apostles smiled as they held their swords.

Their white robes were completely stained red.

“Mr. sphere Lamb!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

I ran straight into the Order’s building.

Just as I had expected, they didn’t try to stop me.

“We’ve been searching for you for so long. arena The Prophet has been waiting for you this entire time.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I didn’t slow down.

I was out of breath.

I rushed straight down into the basement where the Order’s ritual was held.

The hymn proclaiming that everyone would become one through the power of the god echoed endlessly in my ears.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

The flames cast a gigantic shadow upon the walls.

The entire place was illuminated by hundreds of candles.

The melted wax had hardened into a chaotic blanket across the floor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

She gazed in ecstasy toward the ceiling, where not a single ray of sunlight had ever reached.

She wore robes far more magnificent than ever before.

“Edel!”

Standing atop a white marble altar was Edel.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Her lips, spread into a radiant smile, were completely red.

With a thin veil covering her eyes, Edel turned her head toward me.

“Mr. adopt Lamb!”

Even though the candlelight barely allowed her to see, she recognized me by my voice alone.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was an unnecessary question.

“The ritual for the Outer God?”

“What a relief… What an immense relief. athlete You arrived just in time. ability We were about to begin the ritual.”

Panting, I asked,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

And she knew that I had understood the truth.

I already knew the answer.

“Yes, Mr. matrix Lamb!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 56 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then she looked at me and exclaimed,

“It’s a ritual dedicated to Dr. arcade Dominic!”

Holding the obsidian dagger, Edel began to move with the elegance of a dancer.

“Eternal Abyss, Origin of Chaos, Absolute Void! adjust Terror that creates and destroys! afford Lord of All Things!”
