I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

Of course, the miracle of the ■ symbols suddenly turning into understandable letters did not happen.

I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the system window, wondering what the hell that ending was.

The other system windows that appeared afterward did not make much more sense either.

I had no idea who had learned my name for me to gain such a tiny amount as 0.01% popularity.

Popularity?

‘Han Goyo’ has revealed his name to Akasha!

Current Popularity: 0.02%

His body turned into a mass of rainbow-colored liquid.

Smiley began to melt.

I was examining the system windows from every angle when something sudden happened.

I didn’t even have time to react.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

And then.

He completely melted within seconds.

At the same time, multiple rays of light flew from the remains of the collapsed factory.

Like a meteor shower, those lights merged into the rainbow-colored liquid.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

He left behind only an unfamiliar candy.

Smiley disappeared.

I slowly crouched down and picked it up.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

You think you must consume this no matter what.

The rainbow-colored candy was shaped like Smiley’s face.

I stood still staring at it when another system window appeared.

Happy Smile Candy: Upon consuming it, a feeling of happiness accompanied by a smile washes over you.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I never imagined it would happen like this.

I thought perhaps Smiley and the toys would become items that I could take outside.

When I had forcibly accepted the system window’s request, I had expected something.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then I carefully stored it in my inventory.

The Trial will be permanently closed in 80 seconds.

I stared at the candy for several seconds.

The Trial has ended.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I-is this… the True Ending?”

She had also read the system window.

I turned toward Mo Haein.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

True Endings carried a special meaning.

They meant the permanent closure of the Trial.

“It’s the True Ending, right…? august I’m not seeing things… right…? ability Permanent closure…”

She was looking at me with trembling eyes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Furthermore, it expelled every person trapped inside it.

And the return of all survivors.

A Trial completed through the True Ending would never be generated again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even those who had undergone mutations would completely regain their original bodies.

Even those who had been trapped for years.

Every single one.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

In the case of Happy Smile Factory, all the factory employees would be rescued.

However, the difficulty was practically impossible.

The True Ending was the only way to save survivors trapped inside a Trial.

Successful cases were extremely rare.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. atom It’s the True Ending.”

When I first started playing Archive World, an NPC had told me that there were only nine confirmed cases in the entire world.

I gave Mo Haein a slight smile.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Mo Haein stared at me without saying anything.

“……”

“Good work, Captain.”

Suddenly, her face twisted.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could see her neck reddening with emotion.

So I looked away and gave her time to calm herself.

She abruptly turned her head away.

Normally, she wasn’t the type of person who expressed her feelings so openly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

When she was back to her usual self, she spoke quietly.

There would probably be a lot of problems explaining my existence once we got out of there.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for her to regain her composure.

“…Thank you.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

You may take 1 item with you.

But at least it seemed she no longer intended to treat me like a suspicious smuggler.

At that moment, another system window appeared.

You are the top contributor of .

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

I chose the Happy Smile Candy without hesitation.

Mo Haein seemed curious about what I had chosen.

In Happy Smile Factory, only the top contributor received that privilege.

By completing the True Ending or certain special endings, the players with the highest contribution could take items out of the Trial.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

But she didn’t ask.

Eighty seconds later, the system window announced the end.

She probably thought she would have plenty of time to interrogate me later.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

The scenery before my eyes folded in on itself and became stained with multiple fluorescent colors.

The place where Happy Smile Factory had appeared was an abandoned industrial complex.

Inside the area cordoned off with police tape, unconscious people were scattered everywhere.

I had returned to the outside of the Trial.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugh…”

I tried rubbing my arms to warm myself.

The wind was cold.

I was wearing only a white short-sleeved T-shirt and gray sweatpants.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If this had just been the game, I would have cleared it without taking a single hit.’

In addition to the wound on my thigh, I had multiple minor injuries scattered across my body.

But I ended up suppressing a groan.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

And actually moving your body.

There was definitely a huge difference between pressing keys and moving a mouse.

With only the basic physical abilities granted by the game, a no-damage run was impossible.

Even though I trained every single day without fail, I could clearly feel my physical limitations.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since things had ended up this way, I planned to take advantage of the opportunity and have the Agency investigate my current situation more thoroughly.

And while I was at it, temporarily rely on them for food, lodging, and everything else.

‘I suppose the Agency will give me medical treatment when they take me in, right?’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

I looked around.

Dressed in her Agency uniform, she stood out easily among the civilians.

In the distance, I could see Mo Haein waking up.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

I felt something cold against my neck.

I was about to limp over toward her when—

“Don’t move.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a fixed-blade military knife.

I shifted my eyes.

‘Ah. audit Park Seonggyeon.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then should I be crying?”

“You’re laughing? portal Damn it, Goyo. anxiety Do you really think this is funny?”

I couldn’t help letting out a short laugh.

I had completely forgotten about him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

He still seemed to think I was that meek and friendly university student.

I looked down at him.

When I answered him casually, Park Seonggyeon looked bewildered for a moment.

“…What?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

She pointed a pistol at him.

At that moment, Mo Haein fully regained consciousness.

“I’ll give you one last chance. shadow Step away.”

“Park Seonggyeon!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Her physical condition was so bad that she should have been on her way to a hospital.

However, the hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

She had been the one carrying almost the entire boss fight in HasFac.

Meanwhile, Park Seonggyeon was perfectly fine.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Knowing that perfectly well, Park Seonggyeon grinned shamelessly.

“I’ll give you a chance too. armor Hand over the Black Moon Blade.”

While Mo Haein and I had been fighting to our limits, he had been hiding and calmly waiting for the end.

“Captain Mo Haein!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ha. anxiety Mo Haein. acid Mo Haein.”

“If it’s money you want, I can give you more…”

“Yeeees, not at all.”

“Aren’t you afraid of the Agency?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Shiiing.

“……”

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? ability Hand over the Black Moon Blade!”

The blade slid across my neck.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

And while Mo Haein and Park Seonggyeon argued.

You know that ‘Park Seonggyeon (Sample)’ will not leave any hostage alive.

I was reading the system windows that kept appearing nonstop.

A thin red line appeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

You think about how to discipline a dog that dares to try biting its owner without recognizing who he is.

You wish to review the ‘Execution’ option.

You feel anger at his insolent behavior.

Fortunately, an appropriate method comes to mind!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

But at this rate, they were about to take the Black Moon Blade, and I was about to bleed to death.

I had no idea what exactly “Execution” was, but the system windows were obsessively insisting that I use it.

‘From the sound of it, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be pleasant.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Blood was still flowing from my thigh.

‘Execute Park Seonggyeon.’

Do you wish to execute ‘Park Seonggyeon (Sample)’?

You are about to execute ‘Park Seonggyeon (Sample).’ This decision is irreversible and will cause a permanent change in Akasha.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Yes.

— I want to execute him.

The options appeared before me.

— Dooo it!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Park Seonggyeon.”

Even though my vision was blurring, the system window was so absurd that it made me laugh.

Park Seonggyeon, who had been facing off against Mo Haein, flinched and looked at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Has this bastard gone crazy…?”

I smiled weakly and said,

“I’ll give you one last chance. antenna Let her go.”

For some reason, Park Seonggyeon’s voice trembled slightly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

As if he were afraid.

Executing ‘Park Seonggyeon (Sample)’!

I chose “Dooo it!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was such a cheerful sound that it felt as though confetti should have been raining everywhere.

And then came the sound of fireworks exploding.

No.

A fanfare played.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the sound of Park Seonggyeon’s head exploding.

His shattered head transformed into golden light.

They weren’t fireworks.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

The headless body also began crumbling apart and turning into golden particles.

She was standing motionless, aiming her gun at me.

It shone brilliantly, as if stars had been scattered everywhere.

Beyond that radiance, I saw Mo Haein.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

And she remained there watching me.

Without lowering her gun even once.

Until the very last particle of light disappeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had thought Park Seonggyeon might die.

But I had never imagined he would be eliminated in such a spectacular fashion.

And outside a Trial, no less.

‘This is a problem.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘This is way too suspicious.’

You wish to register ‘Mo Haein’ as a new character.

Cold sweat ran down my back, but the system window simply displayed another carefree message.

You currently have ‘0 registered characters.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Captain Mo Haein, what the hell is going on? autumn Did you get the shit beaten out of you inside the Trial?”

“Uh… Captain?”

Just as I cautiously called out to her.

Ignoring the system window floating in front of me, I opened my mouth.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Space tore open in midair, and a man in a Trial Response Agency uniform stepped out through it.

He was a tall man with an athletic build.

I turned around.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What were you doing to come out only now, Captain Mo?”

His red-dyed hair fluttered messily in the wind.

Planting a military boot on the ground, he stood with a relaxed posture and a mocking smile.

The smile disappeared from his face.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hundreds of people lay unconscious everywhere.

His eyes hardened as he looked over the abandoned industrial complex.

He immediately understood what that meant.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

In a low voice, he asked,

I didn’t see it because I was looking at him, but it seemed Mo Haein answered with a nod from behind me.

“Haein. august Is it a True Ending?”

The man stood motionless for several moments, unable to speak.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Along with Mo Haein, he was considered one of the Agency’s greatest talents.

Leader of Field Team 3 of the Trial Response Agency.

Captain Kwak Hanmuk.

I knew who he was.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

While I was observing him curiously, he finally noticed me as well.

I wasn’t short either, but he still had a full head of height on me.

‘As expected, Captain Kwak is really tall.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk’s eyes sharpened.

Seeing the state of my injuries, he seemed to immediately realize that I had contributed to the Trial’s success.

Just then, Mo Haein muttered,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I stopped.

“Who would’ve thought the day would come when I’d be glad to see you, Hanmuk.”

When I heard her, I tried to turn around.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

For an emotional embrace celebrating our escape from HasFac.

Mo Haein wrapped her arms around my waist from behind.

Suddenly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Restrain him.”

Ah.

“Hanmuk.”

It seemed a bit excessive.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before I could react, the rosary beads completely wrapped around me.

The instant she gave that brief order, a metallic sound rang out.

A long rosary shot toward me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

Having been turned into an extremely dangerous criminal, I looked at Mo Haein with a stunned expression.

And as if that weren’t enough, they put a new pair of handcuffs on me.

With incredible precision, he avoided trapping Mo Haein and immobilized only me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You do not have the right to remain silent, you do not have the right to an attorney, and anything you say or do from this moment onward may be used against you in court.”

It was the Trial Response Agency’s version of the Miranda warning.

“Mr. shadow Han Goyo, you are under emergency arrest on suspicion of constituting a national disaster.”

She continued rapidly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Knock him out.”

And then she concluded coldly.

I never imagined I would hear such words directed at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 8 published by TrungTu Reads.

And I lost consciousness.

The rosary beads emitted a flash.
