I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

I swallowed.

It took me a few moments to realize that everyone present in the underground chamber had stopped even breathing at the same time.

It was such absolute silence that it almost seemed possible to hear the crackling of the candles.

A chilling silence descended over the place.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I never managed to complete Call of the Void.

The god I had summoned became trapped inside that unfinished game.

The decisive clue that made me realize I was the one who had summoned him was SamClass’s butlers.

‘Dominic is connected to one of my previous playthroughs too, just like the butlers.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

And after losing his memories, he ended up imprisoned in the form of doctor Dominic.

Either way, one thing was certain.

I had fulfilled the conditions for the True Ending.

‘Although it’s also possible that the game broke precisely because it summoned an existence like Dominic.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

The system window announcing the ending still hadn’t appeared.

The proof was that the system window could no longer force me to act and had begun to malfunction.

But.

Because, as the Prophet, I had summoned the God of the Void.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

A chill ran through my body, and without realizing it, I shrank back.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the very essence of my being.

Watching me in silence.

And Dominic was still there.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’m going to die.’

I was certain Dominic was about to tear my very existence apart.

Strange thoughts began to rise in my mind again and again.

A primal fear took hold of me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Those thoughts were not born from my own will.

But dying before Master is infinite happiness!I’m happyI’mhappyI’mhappyI’mhappyI’mhappyI’mhappyI’mhappyI’mhappyI’mhappyI’mhappy!Aaahhh!All glory to Master!

The longer I held Dominic’s gaze.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

More.

“…!”

Strange.

The.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

I couldn’t hold back the nausea.

The instant our eyes stopped meeting, I immediately doubled over.

But only saliva and stomach acid came out of my mouth.

Several red drops fell onto the floor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

I wiped beneath my nose with the back of my hand and looked up.

His blue eyes, far above my reach, were icy cold.

Dominic was standing there with his arms crossed, looking down at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

A chance to take it back.

“This isn’t funny.”

A chance to apologize.

He was giving me a chance.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I couldn’t accept the mercy he was offering me.

“It was a joke, wasn’t it?”

As though patiently teaching a child, Dominic spoke again in that slow, calm voice.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m truly sorry, Mr. arctic Dominic.”

I didn’t know how I had managed to summon an existence like him into the game.

I apologized with complete sincerity.

I genuinely felt guilty toward Dominic.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

That only made me feel even worse.

But I also had no intention of helping him recover his lost memories.

From now on, it wouldn’t be easy for Dominic to recover his memory.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter what I said, he would never recover all of his memories.

“Do you really believe a few words spoken by such insignificant beings would be enough to restore my true existence?”

Before telling him the truth, I had already made up my mind after hearing his words.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

But if I wanted to complete the True Ending and escape from this place, I had to accept that level of risk.

Of course, after hearing my words, he might recover a small fragment of his memory.

Dominic would have to discover his true identity on his own.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

After weighing everything, I decided to tell him the truth.

I was prepared to pay the price.

“……”

That’s why.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Your companion relationship with doctor Dominic has been canceled.

A system window appeared before me.

In the end, when I still failed to give him the answer he wanted to hear, Dominic’s face became completely expressionless.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

He simply expressed his feelings through his actions.

He didn’t ask me anything else.

Nor did he say another word.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

I died and resurrected in an instant.

You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

“Gah…!”

You have died.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Everything began spinning before my eyes.

Even though my stomach was empty and there was nothing left to throw up, the nausea was unbearable.

My stomach churned, and an overwhelming urge to vomit overtook me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

You have died.

But I didn’t even have time to catch my breath.

You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

A groan escaped my lips involuntarily.

It was the first time I had experienced death and resurrection back to back.

“Ha… agh…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

And it was far more painful than I had imagined.

You have died.
You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

Wasn’t it supposed to be nothing more than a system process…?

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

A sensation I had never experienced before tore through my entire body.

You have died.
You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

I felt that this should never happen again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

You have died.
You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

Even thinking became difficult.

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

You have died.
You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

You have died.
You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

It hurts.

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

You have died.
You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

“……”

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No!”

You have died.
You will resurrect in front of doctor Dominic.

A scream that was almost a shriek echoed throughout the chamber.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

He slowly turned his gaze toward the place the scream had come from.

Dominic stopped repeating that action with complete indifference.

It was such a desperate cry that it pierced through even my numb ears.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

My body trembled with relief at the realization that I was still alive.

‘I’m still… alive…?’

I remained lying face down on the floor, unable to move.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Outwardly, my body was completely unharmed.

The aftereffects of dying and resurrecting over and over again in such a short span of time were unbearable.

It wasn’t something that could be described as mere pain.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was suffering I never wanted to experience again.

But I felt as though something, deep inside me, had been damaged.

Perhaps it was an exaggeration, but the best way to describe it was that it felt as though my soul had been torn apart.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’m sure that was Edel’s voice…’

With great effort, I raised my head.

If Dominic were to ask me now whether it had all been a joke, I would probably say yes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

My vision remained blurred.

Nothing good could come from getting involved with him when he was like this.

Dominic was clearly in a foul mood.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Edel was clinging to Dominic.

Only after blinking several times did I manage to focus on what was in front of me.

She had stabbed him with an obsidian dagger.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Edel’s eyes were wide open, and she was breathing heavily.

And yet, not a single drop of blood flowed from Dominic.

The dagger seemed to have been absorbed into his body, as though it had become part of him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though cold sweat ran all over her body beneath the blue eyes looking down at her, she managed to speak.

She looked terrified by what she had just done, unable to even control herself.

And yet, she did not remain silent.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you could… show mercy to the Prophet… just this once…”

Almost beside herself, she begged for my life.

“Please… forgive me, Doctor.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter that I was the Prophet, she had no reason to protect someone against whom her own god had directed his wrath.

After all, Edel was an Apostle who served Dominic.

It was an unexpected situation.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not even the superficial companion relationship created by the system was enough to justify it.

She had protected me by attacking Dominic.

And yet.

Edel slowly lowered her head.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then she slowly turned her head.

She was trembling so violently that her teeth chattered.

She had gathered every ounce of courage she had, but she could no longer keep looking at Dominic out of fear.

Our eyes met.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

So I simply blinked several times.

I wanted to thank her.

Edel’s face suddenly crumpled.

But I couldn’t make a sound.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

She seemed convinced that something terrible was about to happen to me at any moment.

Seeing her cry in silence, I didn’t know what to do.

Resentment, worry, and fear were all mixed together in her gaze.

Her eyes, as red as her irises, began to fill with tears that fell one after another.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘At least… this isn’t so bad.’

All I could do was keep blinking.

I had even been ready to face something far crueler.

From the moment I said I had one last thing to tell Dominic, I had already prepared myself for something terrible to happen.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I couldn’t explain any of that to reassure her.

It hadn’t even cost me a heart.

I still had one spare life left.

Compared to that, this was surprisingly restrained.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

As she struggled with all her might to hold back her tears, Edel moved her lips.

The only thing I could do was watch her cry.

“Gunbam…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

I stared at her.

She simply kept crying as she looked at me.

But she didn’t even seem aware of what she had just said.

Then a calm, authoritative voice called my name.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. adapt Gunbam.”

I spat the blood that had pooled in my mouth onto the floor.

It felt as though someone had dumped a bucket of ice-cold water over my head.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

But my arms and legs had no strength at all.

I tried to stand up.

I wondered if this was how someone felt after having their limbs amputated for failing an Epic Quest.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic grabbed me by the back of the neck and lifted me with one hand.

Then he sat me down on the altar.

Perhaps watching me writhe on the floor seemed pitiful to him.

My body slumped forward.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic gently supported me.

It was such an absurd question that I didn’t even have the strength to smile.

“Are you alright?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. riddle Dominic…”

Gathering what little strength I had left, I managed to move my tongue.

I remained completely still.

Even my own voice sounded strange to me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

The pain made my entire body tremble.

“Has… your… anger… eased… a little…?”

I clenched my teeth before finishing the sentence.

Dominic watched me silently before answering.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So, Mr. galaxy Gunbam. autumn What do you intend to do now?”

“……”

“At least I’ve calmed down now.”

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“……”

“I no longer see any point in holding you accountable for what happened. auction What’s done is done. sphere The only thing I want now is to recover myself.”

“Are you going to help me recover my memories?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Perhaps I should simply leave you here forever. anchor At least then I won’t be bored anymore.”

“Let’s… make…”

“If you can’t do that, you should never have told me the truth in the first place. adapt Because I can make both you and anyone important to you suffer.”

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

And spoke the final condition required to reach the True Ending.

“Let’s make a contract, Mr. altitude Dominic.”

I gathered every ounce of strength I had left.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was so intense that it seemed to have a form of its own, making my skin ache.

For the first time since this entire conversation had begun, Dominic fell silent.

I tilted my head back.

I could feel his gaze fixed on me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Weren’t you trying to leave me trapped in this place?”

“And let’s leave this place together.”

With my face drenched in sweat and tears, I met his eyes.

After a few moments, Dominic asked quietly,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since when had he realized?

So he knew.

It felt as though he had seen through all my intentions.

Without meaning to, I smiled.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

At first, I had done everything I could to keep Dominic trapped inside Call of the Void.

“At first… I was… but now… I want to leave with you, Mr. zenith Dominic.”

Though the moment I smiled, the pain forced a groan from my lips.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Because he was an existence that I myself brought here.’

But the moment I realized I was the one who had summoned him, I changed my mind.

It had been an accident.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

So it was better to keep him by my side from now on and think of a solution while watching over him.

That was inevitable.

With Dominic’s power, sooner or later he would leave Call of the Void.

But I felt I had to take responsibility.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 58 published by TrungTu Reads.

“As your companion, I will stay by your side until you recover your memories, Mr. crystal Dominic.”

Faced with an existence that might one day become the greatest catastrophe imaginable, I made the only promise I could offer.
