I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

“Stay seated. airport You’re still recovering, aren’t you?”

“Director.”

I barely managed to hide my uncomfortable expression.

I made a move to get up, but Director Jang Seokyun stopped me with a gesture.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Leaning against the headboard, I watched him.

‘It should have been Samra.’

I didn’t object and immediately sat back down on the bed.

I should have spoken to Samra before being left alone with Director Jang Seokyun.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I had been able to learn about the current situation from Samra first, I would have at least had some information working in my favor.

I hid my tension and forced a faint smile, pretending to be calm.

Director Jang Seokyun wasn’t someone who would soften just because you appeared weak.

But Director Jang Seokyun had probably thought the same thing, and that was precisely why he had come to see me without giving me any time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

He would only apply even more pressure.

With someone like him, it was better to appear resolute, even if it was only an act.

As though he had simply come to visit a patient, he pulled over a chair and sat down beside me.

On the contrary.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Had I been unconscious for another three days?

“You regained consciousness after three days. portal How are you feeling?”

Even so, I felt much better now.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you.”

As I drank, I tried to imagine how he intended to persuade me.

“Would you like some water?”

When I answered that I was fine, he picked up a bottle of water and asked,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

It couldn’t compete with the conditions that a private company like Pasung could offer.

He had to know that ordinary conditions wouldn’t be enough to keep me.

But the Trial Response Agency was a government organization.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Most likely, Director Jang Seokyun would talk about things that only the Trial Response Agency could offer.

For example, Samra or Han Jiwol.

The conditions Director Seo Mooncha had listed alongside that insane contract alone far surpassed those of any major corporation.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

From developing vaccines and treatments for the Trials to countless other things that only she was capable of accomplishing.

But her abilities were beyond question.

Han Jiwol was terrifying, yes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The truth is, you managed to clear the Trials. antenna Three of them, no less, in a single month. adopt As Director of the Trial Response Agency and as a citizen of the Republic of Korea, I want to thank you.”

“Recruit Han.”

Director Jang Seokyun began by praising me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

And within the government, he occupied a position equivalent to that of a cabinet minister.

He held the rank of General in the military.

Considering his position, those words were surprisingly simple and sincere.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

It frightened me.

Because I was certain he had no intention of ever letting me leave.

The fact that someone like him expressed his gratitude so directly didn’t move me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

I answered carefully.

Upon hearing my respectful response, Director Jang Seokyun chuckled.

“Without the Trial Response Agency, none of this would have been possible. alien It was all thanks to the trust and support you gave me, Director. armor So I’m the one who should be thanking you.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I like you very much. action And not because you’re someone capable of clearing Trials. athlete I like you as a person.”

“Yes, Director.”

“Recruit Han.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I believe that temperament is also one of the reasons you’ve been able to clear the Trials.”

“……”

As I wondered how to respond, he continued speaking on his own.

“You possess the spirit of a true gambler. acoustic Even when you know the odds are against you, if there’s even the slightest chance of success, you bet on it. acquire Even if it’s only one percent.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

How much could he really have observed me?

He wasn’t even part of the Special Operations Team.

His gaze bore into me as though he knew absolutely everything about me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even adding together every face-to-face conversation we’d had, it didn’t amount to even an hour.

I understood immediately.

He had undoubtedly read the Special Operations Team’s reports.

But Director Jang Seokyun spoke as though he had personally observed me for a very long time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

’…Goyo, the former professional gamer.’

They were directed at.

It made sense.

Those words weren’t directed at the “Trial Response Agency Recruit.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had always felt uncomfortable whenever that period of my life resurfaced.

I slowly clenched my fist as my hand trembled almost imperceptibly.

If he truly wanted to, finding information about my past wouldn’t have been difficult.

If I were in his position, I would have started my investigation there as well.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even after all this time.

Every year, countless extraordinary players emerged.

Who would remember someone who had only competed for a little over a year?

Almost no one remembered or looked for “Goyo” anymore.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Every remaining record of “Goyo” still existed for only one purpose.

At most, I was good for a passing conversation or a fleeting bit of gossip.

To dig into my past and reopen old wounds, just as was happening now.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

I understood perfectly well why Director Jang Seokyun was acting this way.

From the very beginning, he had been trying to throw me off balance so he could seize the initiative.

I gradually calmed myself down. amber Fortunately, the trembling in my hand also subsided.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately, my reply hadn’t sounded awkward.

“…Thank you.”

I promised myself I wouldn’t fall for such an obvious tactic and once again forced a faint smile.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I was like that too when I was young. airport If there was even the slightest possibility, I never gave up and always pressed forward. auction I believed it was the right thing to do. absorb Perhaps thanks to the vigor of youth, I achieved quite a lot. amateur Now I’m getting old and can’t do things the way I used to, which is why it’s so refreshing to watch a recruit like you.”

Director Jang Seokyun smiled back at me.

My voice hadn’t even trembled.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m honored that you think so highly of me, Director. timber However, I’d like some time to think about it. arena It’s not a decision I can make lightly…”

After telling me a story about himself that I couldn’t have cared less about, he finally reached the real subject.

“Of course.”

“Recruit Han. harbor How would you feel about officially enlisting in the Trial Response Agency?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps he noticed my suspicion, because he made another proposal.

The fact that he accepted so easily caught me by surprise.

I had been certain he would try to pressure me somehow.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Captain Mo has been hospitalized ever since completing Slay to Plate. harbor Since the Trial Response Agency building was damaged, her room was moved to a location close to yours. afford I thought you might like to visit her.”

I looked at him in confusion, and he explained the reason as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Goyo. album Would you like to go visit Captain Mo?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

But upon hearing that Mo Haein was hospitalized, my concern outweighed everything else.

I had a bad feeling.

She belonged to the Trial Response Agency.

I wanted to see with my own eyes that she hadn’t suffered any serious injuries.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

It might be months before we met again.

After thinking about it for a few moments, I decided to go with him.

If I turned down Director Jang Seokyun’s offer now, I had no idea when I would get another chance to see her.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

We left the room while I dragged my IV stand along.

Outside, several fully armed soldiers were standing guard.

Since the paralysis in the lower half of my body had already disappeared, I was able to walk on my own.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

When we reached the lowest level, I looked around the hallway in surprise.

“D-Director Jang!… Ah… M-Mr. timber Goyo…!”

Director Jang Seokyun signaled to them before leading me toward the underground floors.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Han Jiwol, who had rushed over to us, widened her eyes the moment she saw me.

“Director Han. alert We’ve come to visit Captain Mo.”

Researchers from the Research and Analysis Department hurried back and forth with tablets in their hands.

The entire underground floor was a massive laboratory filled with every kind of research equipment.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A-ah, Captain Mo…! echo T-this way, please! amateur I-I’ll escort Mr. apron Goyo…!”

Although she couldn’t take her eyes off me, Han Jiwol didn’t dare say anything inappropriate in front of Director Jang Seokyun.

The moment I realized Mo Haein was being kept in a laboratory, an overwhelming sense of unease began to take hold of me.

And I.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

If it weren’t for something truly important, they never would have transferred her there.

‘Why is Captain Mo in Han Jiwol’s laboratory?’

Since the Trial Response Agency building had been destroyed, this had to be a temporary laboratory set up in another building.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Whatever the reason, the fact that she was in Han Jiwol’s laboratory couldn’t possibly mean anything good.

She looked up at me and smiled sweetly.

Without realizing it, I quickened my pace until I was walking beside Han Jiwol.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

At last, we arrived at the place where Mo Haein was “hospitalized.”

I did everything I could not to let my anxiety show.

“Mr. absorb Goyo… You don’t have to worry so much. abandon I’m taking very good care of Captain Mo…”

Simply becoming the object of Han Jiwol’s attention was already unfortunate enough.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

I saw an enormous glass cylinder.

Han Jiwol opened a sealed door using her researcher ID card.

And then.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

While checking the figures displayed on the screen, she commented,

Mo Haein was suspended inside it, submerged in a liquid I couldn’t identify.

Han Jiwol walked past me as I stood there completely frozen and began operating the controls.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

She was wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts as she slept within the liquid.

“Captain Mo… Her condition has become much more stable… But for a while… it’s best if she doesn’t enter any more Trials…”

I couldn’t take my eyes off Mo Haein.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

A Trial meteorite.

“……”

And in her abdomen.

A small stone emitting a faint glow was embedded there.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

A ringing began echoing in my ears, and my vision narrowed.

I felt the air leave my lungs.

I couldn’t even process what I was seeing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Director Jang Seokyun stepped up beside me.

My mind went completely blank.

As though we were simply discussing something ordinary, he said,

“Goyo was a player with a great sense of responsibility as well, wasn’t he?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I watched your matches. antique They were truly impressive. aluminum Especially your last one before you retired. antique You really shined.”

“……”

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“Do you know something? antenna Han Goyo is exactly the person the Trial Response Agency needed. atom As if he had fallen from the sky.”

“Goyo. apple Captain Mo’s younger sister was twenty-four years old. alien The same age as you. absorb But she will remain twenty-four forever.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

He watched her for a few moments before turning back to me.

Then he placed his hand against the glass and gazed at the sleeping Mo Haein.

He slowly took a few steps forward.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Director.”

“Director Jang Seokyun!”

“Is trapped inside it. acid Every time Captain Mo sees you, she probably feels the urge to fall to her knees and beg you. riddle Beg you to save her sister. aluminum Because you’re the only hope capable of clearing the Trials.”

“If she had died, perhaps Captain Mo wouldn’t be suffering so much. aluminum Do you see the meteorite embedded in her abdomen? orbit Her sister…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

I met his gaze.

I couldn’t bear listening to him bring up Mo Haein’s private life just to try to keep me.

He looked at me with complete composure.

Without the slightest trace of the respect I was normally supposed to show the Director of the Trial Response Agency.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I understand what you’re trying to tell me. artist Please stop.”

Even less so because that might very well have been the secret she had never wanted anyone else to know.

I swallowed back all the words that were about to spill from my mouth and spoke.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

His eyes burned with intensity as his deep voice echoed throughout the room.

“No!”

Director Jang Seokyun raised his voice and held my gaze.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you really think Captain Mo is the only one in a situation like this? harbor Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno, Captain Kwak, Samra—they all need you.”

“I…”

“You don’t understand, Goyo. alpha If you truly understood, you would have already enlisted in the Trial Response Agency. antenna You wouldn’t be comparing it to Pasung!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

Then he took an item out of his inventory and pressed it against my chest.

“Are you going to turn your back on everyone who has placed their hopes in you? silence Even the Special Operations Team that was created exclusively for you?”

He slowly walked toward me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

Slowly, I took it into my hands.

Not the simple paper contract I had signed as a recruit.

I lowered my eyes.

It was an official Trial Response Agency enlistment contract.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 92 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I trust you’ll make the right decision, Recruit Han.”

Director Jang Seokyun looked me straight in the eyes and whispered,

But a contract created with a Trial Item, capable of legally binding a Suitable.
