I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

“Mr. wizard Goyo…”

Han Jiwol, who was adjusting her glasses, quietly walked over to my side.

After Director Jang Seokyun left, I remained standing motionless in the middle of the laboratory.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

As though she wanted me to hear her, she was practically talking to herself.

She murmured as she looked at the IV needle embedded in the back of my hand with a pained expression.

“Mr. academy Goyo shouldn’t have to wear this… Why did they put it on you…? arrow I-I told them not to…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

She hurried over and removed the IV needle from my hand.

Han Jiwol’s eyes immediately lit up.

When she discreetly tried to keep the bloodstained gauze, I called out to her.

Without saying a word, I simply held out my hand to her.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Y-yes! apron I do! aluminum I need it very badly!”

“Director Han. antique Do you need a sample of my blood?”

Her eyes and mouth opened at the same time.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll let you draw my blood. accent But first, I want to talk to you.”

“O-of course…! airport Talking to Mr. avalanche Goyo! crystal I’d love that!”

Han Jiwol ran off, saying she would immediately go get the equipment to draw blood.

Seeing that she was practically on the verge of cutting me open with a scalpel, I spoke calmly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Once she disappeared from sight, I was alone again.

Suddenly, I felt all the strength leave my body.

She seemed to be in a hurry, afraid I might change my mind.

Even standing was difficult, so I simply sat down on the floor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, both Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and the captains were always busy.

Naturally, I had assumed she was out on a mission.

I looked up at Mo Haein, suspended inside the glass cylinder.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I even thought that.

She slept with a completely peaceful expression.

I had never imagined finding her in a place like this.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I silently gazed at her.

Perhaps she was experiencing a more peaceful moment than any she had ever had while awake.

Then I slowly lowered my eyes.

The Trial meteorite emitted a soft pink glow.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I couldn’t remember a single one.

I spent quite some time staring at the meteorite, trying to guess which Trial it belonged to.

Which only made it seem even stranger.

That light didn’t suit Mo Haein at all.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had no idea.

I slowly lowered my head.

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I didn’t know that Mo Haein had a meteorite embedded in her.

The Developer’s games were set in South Korea.

Nor that her sister was trapped inside a Trial.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had explored the Trials and the entire country within World Archive, gathering an enormous amount of information.

But in the end.

I could only know what he wanted to show me.

All of that information had first passed through the Developer’s hands.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I knew quite a lot about the members of the Special Operations Team.

The information was completely unbalanced.

But I didn’t know everything.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Meanwhile, there were some people whose lives had been explained down to completely unnecessary details.

‘I didn’t even know the names they used inside the Trials, and I knew absolutely nothing about each of their pasts…’

The only information I had received about the Special Operations Team was scattered fragments.

Even the most important aspects contained enormous gaps.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Like Chairwoman Kang Cheonseo. canvas They even told me the personal story behind why she changed her name.’

The same applied to everything else.

And it wasn’t just people.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

What criteria determined what information was shown?

The Developer was undoubtedly following some kind of logic.

‘I didn’t even know where the first Trials had appeared in Korea.’

Sometimes information that could easily have been revealed was simply omitted.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then a strange possibility occurred to me.

Maybe.

The only things he had wanted to show me were the most pleasant aspects of World Archive.

But I couldn’t figure out what it was.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Or a movie.

Or an entertaining novel.

As though it were a fun video game.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

After the dream I had this time about the Developer, the idea no longer seemed so far-fetched.

But.

Perhaps he had created a fairy tale-like world for me, where fascinating characters overcame hardships and adversity together through everyone’s efforts.

It was only a guess.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I can’t keep judging reality solely based on the information I got from the game.’

He seemed to care a great deal about me enjoying the game.

Either way, there was one thing I now understood completely.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Developer selects only part of that event and turns it into a game.

The information I knew had gone through the following process.

A particular event occurs.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

And yet.

I had accepted it as absolute truth without ever questioning it.

After being filtered twice—first by the Developer and then by myself—that information could never represent the complete truth.

I play it and obtain information only from my own perspective.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

If she hadn’t personally explained it to me.

The first time I sensed a discrepancy between the game and reality was with Mo Haein’s Black Moon Blade.

In the game, I had been convinced that Black Moon Blade was a spear.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had always regarded him as nothing more than an absurdly powerful being, just as he appeared in the game.

It never even would have occurred to me to ask her, because I was convinced I was right.

The same was true of Je Hyuno.

I probably never would have realized I was wrong.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Never.

And today.

Not even once had it crossed my mind to imagine him trapped by Gorgos’s illusion magic, reliving happy memories while wounding himself.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

After seeing the condition Mo Haein was in.

I needed to leave the game behind.

I finally understood it completely.

I couldn’t keep judging who someone was based solely on information from the game.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I picked up the Pudding Slime, who had been silently waiting for me the entire time, and placed him on the palm of my hand.

“Mr. crystal Gunbam.”

And start listening to the stories of reality.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. academy Gunbam is the master of this place.”

Dominic let himself be picked up without resistance and, sitting in my hand, looked up at me.

“If a human dares oppose Mr. aluminum Gunbam’s will, there is no need for you to act personally. arena Simply give an order to your subordinates. aluminum That subordinate made of black metal seems quite useful for this sort of matter. alpha Let us make him your vassal.”

He gently scolded me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Whenever he spoke about me as though I were some extraordinary existence, it comforted me a little.

My only accomplishment was that I had played a little more than everyone else.

As I listened to Dominic’s long speech, I smiled faintly.

When in reality, I was just an unemployed man whose body had been ruined, forced to retire as a professional gamer, spending his days shut inside his house playing video games.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, Mr. anchor Gunbam.”

Whenever Dominic spoke to me so seriously like that, I truly started to feel as though I were the Young God of Earth.

“Mr. aspect Dominic.”

And right now, I could barely survive Quests that demanded things like amputating my limbs or gouging out my eyes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

I looked back at him with a pleading expression.

The Pudding Slime stared intently at me.

“Can I squeeze you again? airport Just a little.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If it’s only for a moment, I’ll allow it.”

She was carrying a whole collection of blood-drawing equipment and asked excitedly,

In the end, the generous Pudding Slime gave me his permission, so I spent some time enjoying his softness.

It was then that Han Jiwol returned.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. accent Goyo! acid U-um… H-how much…?”

“No! sphere Th-that’s far too little…!”

“100 mL.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I took advantage of her impatience to make her a proposal.

She probably wanted to draw my blood by force, but at that moment she had no way of restraining me.

And if she called in other researchers, her attempts to secretly draw my blood would be exposed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Han Jiwol nervously bit her lips.

“Uuugh…!”

“If Director Han answers my questions honestly, I might increase the amount.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A-ask your questions first!”

In the end, her greed won out.

While vaguely remembering that a normal blood donation was around 400 mL, I waited patiently.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is the meteorite embedded in Captain Mo… okay?”

Pouting, Han Jiwol began telling me.

“O-of course it is…!”

As she answered, she tried to stick the needle back into me, so I gestured for her to finish explaining first.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, if it was implanted into the body of a Suitable, it entered a state of hibernation, like a computer that had been shut down.

“I-if a meteorite is implanted into a Suitable… it enters hibernation…!”

Normally, if a hatched Trial meteorite wasn’t completed within a certain amount of time, it would explode.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it wasn’t enough for the ranks alone to match.

An absurdly vague condition also had to be met.

The higher the meteorite’s rank, the higher the level of the Suitable capable of withstanding it also had to be.

“I-it’s an extremely dangerous procedure…! avalanche A-and only I can perform it!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

If either of those two conditions failed, the meteorite would explode the instant it was implanted.

The Trial itself had to “favor the Suitable.”

During the early years of the Trials, this technique had been considered a possible solution.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was ultimately abandoned, both for ethical reasons and because of the enormous difficulty of finding compatible Suitables.

If too many Suitables died during implantation, humanity’s ability to defend itself against the Trials would be drastically reduced.

Although, to be honest, there was probably another reason.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

The first.

That was why even someone with an implanted meteorite could continue entering other Trials.

A meteorite in hibernation was treated as nothing more than an ordinary stone.

However, Suitables with an implanted meteorite had to be careful about two things.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Emotional instability.

They could not die.

The second.

The moment the Suitable died, the meteorite would immediately explode.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Captain Mo… was admitted to the special isolation facility after clearing Three Worlds… precisely because of that…”

Out of fear that an episode of post-traumatic stress might trigger the meteorite’s hatching.

Intense emotions could act as a catalyst and cause the meteorite to hatch.

I hadn’t even known she had been admitted to a special isolation facility.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Were you the one who performed the implantation, Director Han?”

Then I asked,

I silently lowered my gaze.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the reason she was now “hospitalized” in the laboratory was probably so they could monitor the meteorite for any problems.

Hoping that she would one day be able to clear that Trial.

“N-no! riddle I-in Captain Mo’s case… authorization from the higher-ups was required…! arctic A-and she was the one who wanted to receive the implantation…!”

She had chosen to implant the meteorite containing the Trial where her sister was trapped.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then I looked up at Han Jiwol, whose eyes seemed to burn with anticipation.

“200 mL.”

I thought about it for a few moments.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“W-why…?! arctic I tried so hard to answer…!”

Han Jiwol immediately began nodding frantically.

“Do you want it to be 300 mL?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Her eyes wavered.

“Then lend me your phone.”

I held out my arm so she could clearly see the blue veins.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was obvious she was thinking she shouldn’t.

“I’ll give you 400 mL.”

***

I smiled faintly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Her wallpaper was a photograph of me.

And immediately, a chill ran through my entire body.

I was asleep.

Back in my room, I turned on Han Jiwol’s phone.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

I only remembered the hospital room, so I tried to think back.

‘When was I ever in the laboratory?’

Judging by the objects visible in the background, it looked like it had been taken in the laboratory.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that time, I had still been a suspect.

It was probably the first time they had brought me to the Trial Response Agency.

This new room no longer had surveillance cameras.

After shuddering for a few moments, I looked around the room.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I could get hold of any electronic device, Samra would find a way to handle the rest.

Holding the phone, I spoke confidently to the world’s most advanced android.

“Samra.”

My reasoning was fairly simple.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Samra did not betray my trust.

‘If he can generate a reverse-phase electromagnetic wave field and control nanorobots, he can probably do this too.’

And, as expected.

The phone’s screen suddenly went black.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

A percentage appeared beneath the text.

Now loading….

Then a brief loading screen appeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Mr. atlas Han Goyo.

It was Samra.

It started at 0% and quickly climbed until it reached 100%.

Then, at last, the person I had been waiting for appeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although his expression carried a faint hint of concern.

“Are you alright? accent Pasung’s CEO Cha attacked you with Great Sun Tathāgata.”

The moment I saw him, I brought the phone closer to my face and asked,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Upon hearing my words, Samra remained silent for a few moments.

“I’m glad to hear that. avalanche I was worried about you.”

— I am fine.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

He looked at me through the screen.

— Mr. atomic Han Goyo worries about me as well?

Then he slowly closed and opened his eyes, imitating human behavior.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

— It is nothing. amber Please continue.

“Huh?”

Since he had said something so obvious, I found myself worrying again that Great Sun Tathāgata might have caused some kind of malfunction.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, judging by what I saw on the screen, he seemed perfectly fine.

“What about Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and Pasung’s CEO Cha?”

— Both are unharmed. arrow Pasung’s CEO Cha was taken into custody for this terrorist attack.

After watching him for another moment, I asked,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

There were many more questions I wanted to ask him.

But first, there was something far more urgent.

I was a little surprised that he had let himself be captured so docilely, although I supposed that after causing such enormous destruction, he hadn’t had many other options.

In practice, that only meant he had allowed himself to be arrested.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

— What do you need?

“Samra, I need your help.”

What I wanted was perfectly clear.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 93 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I want to give Director Jang Seokyun a little surprise.”

And I had no intention of acting exactly the way Director Jang Seokyun expected.
