I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

I had made the proposal, but I didn’t know whether Dominic would accept it.

I felt that I wouldn’t be able to endure it.

And this time.

Perhaps I would die and resurrect over and over again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

If captain Mo found out, she would definitely scold me.

To think that I was willing to stay beside the very existence that had put me through all of that.

Just remembering that pain made my body begin to tremble like a conditioned reflex.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I didn’t have the strength.

I wanted to laugh.

I only smiled faintly to myself as I waited for Dominic’s decision.

And this time, even captain Kwak would probably join in.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

It couldn’t be interpreted as either acceptance or rejection.

The expression in his eyes was strange.

If I had to describe it, I would say it resembled curiosity more than anything else.

“Mr. riddle Gunbam.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

His words were impossible to decipher, and I became more and more anxious.

That was the ambiguous comment he made.

“You never cease to surprise me.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

If he was going to condemn me, I wished he would just tell me already.

‘Is he going to accept or not?’

At least then I could prepare myself mentally.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

He simply continued watching me in silence.

But Dominic didn’t answer.

‘So is he going to make the contract?’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Very well. zenith I will make the contract.”

After a long while of trying to guess his intentions, he finally spoke.

‘Then… not…?’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Did it really work?’

I had thought there was some chance he might accept, but for it to actually happen left me stunned.

I looked at him in disbelief.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

If he had refused, I was planning to look for another solution.

Just moments ago, I hadn’t even been able to move a finger.

But this was undoubtedly the best possible outcome.

It felt like returning alive after standing on the very brink of death.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you very much. audit Then… um…”

Now I felt that I could at least move my tongue without difficulty.

That was when I realized a huge problem.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

But now that I had to do it myself, I had no idea what I was supposed to do.

I had no idea how to make a contract.

In the game, the ritual was simply performed, the Outer God appeared, and the contract was made automatically.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Do we have to draw a magic circle or something?’

Recite an incantation.

That was the typical image you saw in stories.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Or use blood.

If none of those worked, I even considered drafting a contract the way people did in the real world.

Dominic asked a question.

Just as I was turning those thoughts over in my head.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What name did you use during the ritual when you summoned me?”

“Gunbam, I suppose.”

Even so, I answered immediately.

Why was he asking that?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It doesn’t completely reflect your true essence, but I’ve always thought it was a good name.”

After hearing my answer, Dominic praised that name.

Since the ritual had taken place inside the game, it must have been Gunbam.

“That explains it.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

I assumed he eventually accepted it simply because he had grown used to it.

When I first met him in Call of the Void, Dominic had said that the name Lamb didn’t suit me and called me by my real name instead.

So I had quickly improvised the name Gunbam.

Although he didn’t seem particularly fond of it, from then on he began calling me that.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

My eyes widened.

“If you’ll excuse me for a moment, Mr. audit Gunbam.”

After that unexpected compliment, Dominic spoke with perfect courtesy.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

And I slowly lowered my gaze.

Dominic’s hand had passed through my body.

Huh.

Even though I was seeing it with my own eyes, I found it hard to believe.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not a single drop of blood flowed.

I felt no pain.

And yet.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Simply.

The hand that had passed through my chest firmly grasped something.

Thump! legend Thump! accent Thump!

I felt absolutely nothing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the last thing I heard.

With the same calmness as someone signing a contract, Dominic spoke.

My heart began pounding violently.

“Now I remember a little more. aluminum I believe this is the first time I’ve made a contract with a ■■ ■. crystal Since your rank is still far too low, Mr. zenith Gunbam, I have no choice but to resort to such a traditional method…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

The next instant, I lost consciousness.

“…!”

***

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

…Fortunately.

I immediately placed a hand over my chest.

The moment I regained consciousness, I jolted upright.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

I wasn’t in pain either.

No wounds.

It seemed that none of my organs had been ripped out.

I could still feel my heartbeat.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

My entire body was overflowing with energy.

No bleeding.

In fact, I felt even better than I had before passing out.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly opening someone’s chest wasn’t exactly normal.

‘He could have at least warned me.’

The horrifying sensation was still etched into my memory, so I rubbed my arms, which were covered in goosebumps.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

The underground chamber was completely empty as well.

Silence filled the place where all the believers had been only moments before.

Once I had finally calmed down a little, I looked around.

Dominic was gone.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

But one person remained.

It was Edel.

“Prophet…”

Only then did I realize that I had remained on the altar the entire time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

She seemed to have come up with an explanation on her own and asked me cautiously,

It seemed that Edel had not left my side for even a single moment.

Although she was clearly bewildered to discover that everyone had disappeared except for her, she was doing her best to remain calm.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

I didn’t have the strength to come up with any explanation.

And it wasn’t entirely a lie.

“Does… this mean that God has saved us?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

So I simply nodded.

And yet, she didn’t seem happy.

Upon hearing my answer, Edel bit her lip with a conflicted expression.

This was the moment she had always longed for.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I hadn’t been able to.

I felt guilty.

I had wanted to show her the ideal world she had dreamed of for so long.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment I said that, her expression darkened even more.

“Edel is free now.”

I hurriedly wondered if I had said something wrong.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What felt strange?”

“From the very first time we met, everything felt strange.”

Then Edel spoke.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Edel slowly walked toward the altar where I was sitting.

“Everything. portal Even now, I keep having very strange thoughts.”

“Perhaps… you are my ■.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed to be a word I still wasn’t able to hear.

The most important word was drowned out by loud static, and I couldn’t hear it.

The same thing had happened when Dominic spoke about the contract.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since I hadn’t even understood the question properly, I didn’t know how to answer.

Nor did she ask again.

Edel didn’t press the matter.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Will we meet again?”

I hesitated for a moment.

From the beginning, she didn’t seem to expect an answer.

Instead, she asked something else.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course.”

Then I smiled at her.

“What a relief.”

My lie made Edel happy.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately, I fulfilled the promise I made to her.

I’m sure I would have kept thinking about her over and over again.

If I had left her here alone.

‘I’m glad I managed to get the True Ending.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Edel. apron Thank you for saving me just now…”

I wanted to thank her.

And I gave her the freedom to stop being bound to the Trial.

But I left the sentence unfinished.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…….”

Call of the Void completed!
— Apostle Ending of ■■ ■.

Before I realized it, Edel had already disappeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I should have thanked her before anything else.’

Even so, I thought we would have had a little more time to talk.

No matter how many times I went through a farewell like this, I doubted I would ever get used to it.

I felt a little lonely.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed that Mr. beacon Black Blocks was still watching me.

Standing there completely alone, I watched as system windows began appearing one after another before me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

The number changed.

Then, all of a sudden, my Recognition jumped by 0.1% in a single leap.

Just as I was surprised by such a generous increase after it had always gone up only by hundredths.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘What…? legend Don’t tell me this is some kind of x10 experience event…’

Current Recognition: 99999%

I stared in disbelief as the number skyrocketed to a completely absurd value.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then it reappeared as though nothing had happened.

As I wondered what on earth that had been, something even more absurd happened.

The instant it reached 99999%, the system window exploded with a loud bang.

Current Recognition: 0.2%

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

You were the greatest contributor to (Call of the Void).
You may take ‘9999’ items with you.

In 80 seconds, the Trial will be permanently closed.

The Trial (Call of the Void) has ended.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

9999 items?

Another window immediately appeared.

I didn’t even have time to be surprised by the obviously incorrect number.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Huh?

Item selection has been completed.

Wait a second.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

I didn’t choose anything!

The world began to collapse.

While I stood there bewildered, the eighty seconds continued counting down without stopping.

And this time I hadn’t even received any items from any NPCs, so I had no idea what had been selected.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

I left the Trial.

And finally.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

I stared at it for a moment before slowly turning my head.

I saw the night sky.

The moonlight illuminated my face.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

A lookout…?

It seemed to be the same Haewoljeong I had used to enter the Trial of the Three Worlds.

‘Haewoljeong?’

The wind carried a faint scent of salt.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Now that the meteorite from Trial of the Three Worlds had disappeared, the place was under reconstruction, with construction materials scattered everywhere.

‘I survived.’

I looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

After getting some rest first, of course.

Dominic was nowhere to be seen.

I still had my communication earpiece.

All I had to do was contact the Trial Management Agency.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

The air was so clear that the stars were perfectly visible.

Thinking about that impossible wish, I lay back on the ground and gazed up at the sky.

Then the system window I had been waiting for finally appeared.

‘I guess a happy ending where he disappeared along with Call of the Void was too much to ask…’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was confirmation that I had managed to save my arms and legs.

◆ Epic Quest (Han Goyo): Close 3 Trials within one month.
Trials currently closed (3/3)
Warning! beacon If you fail this mission, you will lose all four limbs. silence If you succeed, you will keep them.

A small smile escaped me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not “Lamb,” nor some ordinary system message, but Young God?

Young God?

You have completed the Epic Quest! airport A portion of the knowledge of Archive World has been unlocked.

You are a Young God of planet Earth.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, I remembered something Dominic had said.

But no matter how long I stared at the window, “Young God” didn’t change.

After everyone in Call of the Void had constantly talked about Outer Gods, I even wondered if I had misread it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

Come to think of it, the system had always insisted that I needed to improve my abilities.

Besides, he had also said that my rank was still far too low…

What if the part I couldn’t hear meant Young God?

“I believe this is the first time I’ve made a contract with a ■■ ■.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

I couldn’t believe I had been placed in anything resembling the same category as Dominic.

‘Could this be another system error?’

Everything seemed to fit together.

But I found it hard to believe.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

The difference between us had to be as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.

His was something like Lord or whatever it was.

My title was Young God.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Young God…?”

“Don’t you like the title Young God?”

I said it out loud because I still couldn’t believe it.

Even so, the mere fact that we were both classified as “gods” seemed ridiculous to me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

I looked around.

I sprang to my feet in complete shock.

“Mr. apron Dominic!?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, the voice spoke again.

I desperately wished it had been a hallucination.

But the three-meter-tall man was nowhere to be seen.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Where are you?”

“Yes, Mr. meadow Gunbam.”

“Ah. voyage I suppose it’s time for me to come out.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 59 published by TrungTu Reads.

And it slowly started to emerge.

Something inside my chest began to writhe.
