I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

But I struggled to understand them.

I stared fixedly at Kwak Hanmuk.

I had heard both Kwak Hanmuk’s words and Dominic’s perfectly clearly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

The blue lightning-shaped tattoo that stretched all the way to his bicep.

My gaze was automatically drawn to the arm he was offering me, as if he wanted me to examine it up close.

Seeing me completely frozen, Kwak Hanmuk raised his left arm toward me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I remembered the first time we entered Dead Zone Delivery.

At the time, I hadn’t thought anything of it.

But Kwak Hanmuk had been the only one wearing a varsity jacket.

The default outfit was a short-sleeved T-shirt and military pants.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

His tone was that of a teacher giving a lesson using educational material.

While I was still half-stunned, Dominic calmly continued explaining.

Now that I thought about it, it had probably been to hide that tattoo.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“For the same reason, that person cannot hear my voice or touch me. silence He is incapable of using the power of the god sealed within his body; the only thing he accomplished was opening his eyes.”

“He housed a god within his body, but he was incapable of assimilating it and only managed to seal it away. alien Even that is too great a burden for him, which is why he had to engrave that pattern onto his body and use accessories.”

He went on to explain that, aside from bearing that burden, he had gained no benefits whatsoever.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was subtly trying to convince me to help my subordinate assimilate the god.

“If he were to assimilate that god, he would become a subordinate with extraordinary power. adopt His level of existence would increase, and he would be useful in many ways. canvas I could help him.”

Then he made me a proposal with perfect courtesy.

But I was unable to react to the proposal at all.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Seeing that I remained completely silent, Kwak Hanmuk asked again.

I moved my lips slightly.

“And you, Goyo? apron Don’t you have anything like that on your body?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk burst into laughter.

“…I don’t have anything like that.”

“We could go to a public bathhouse together and check…”

My mind was completely blank, so I ended up saying whatever came to mind.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

To anyone who knew nothing, it was nothing more than a rather unusual tattoo.

At that moment, I realized I had fallen into his trap.

Then he narrowed his eyes and said,

“You know perfectly well what this means, don’t you?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was hard not to when I had an extraterrestrial slime whispering in my ear that there was a god inside a person.

Resting one arm on the chair beside him, he said,

Shrugging lightly, Kwak Hanmuk sat back down.

But I had reacted with a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was already completely convinced that I had some kind of connection to a divine existence.

He smiled as he added that he was curious whether I also had something inside me.

“I’m not interrogating you. antenna I was just wondering if you were like me.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Blue Lightning.

And honestly, it was a fairly reasonable conclusion.

After all, someone capable of manipulating the system windows could hardly be an ordinary person.

I looked at the blue tattoo again.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even the parts that weren’t pleasant.

There were still countless things I didn’t know about both Mo Haein and Kwak Hanmuk.

But I wanted to know much more.

The Developer had truly only shown me the most pleasant parts of them in the game.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I wanted to know why he had ended up sealing a god inside his body.

When he had done it.

Before I realized it, the words slipped from my lips.

“How did you end up getting that tattoo?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

And, above all, which God it was.

I didn’t know what kind of expression I had at that moment.

How he had done it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

He put the upper part of his uniform back on, though he only slipped his arms into the sleeves.

“Goyo…”

But Kwak Hanmuk’s smile deepened a little.

With all the buttons left undone, he looked like a rather rebellious soldier.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You hide absolutely everything about yourself, yet you’re trying to find out everything about me, huh?”

he said as he tilted his chin up slightly.

Then he fell silent.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I didn’t even understand why I was so obsessed with the god inside him.

An increasing sense of unease crept over me.

‘The first time the system window advised me against registering Kwak Hanmuk, it was probably because of that God as well.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could even feel a faint warmth around my eyes.

Then I remembered the status window.

The moment that thought crossed my mind, my impatience grew even stronger.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

For now, it only showed simple things, like whether someone was happy.

What if it kept evolving?

But.

As my abilities had evolved, a function capable of displaying the current condition of registered people had been added.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps it could even reveal which god was sealed inside him.

Maybe one day it would be able to display much more detailed information.

I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Yes?”

“Goyo.”

“Ah.”

“Your eyes are glowing.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since it wasn’t something I could control at will, it was difficult to hide as well.

For some reason, it seemed like the color of my eyes was about to change again.

I hurriedly blinked.

‘I don’t even know what causes them to change.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…The color changed a little. arena Ah, it’s back to normal now.”

Before he could examine them any further, the color had already returned to normal.

However, after studying my eyes carefully, Kwak Hanmuk said something strange.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk smiled as he watched me.

But at that moment, the color of my eyes wasn’t what mattered.

I discreetly rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

He explained that only Director Jang Seokyun, Samra, and a few executives at the division chief level knew the reason behind that tattoo.

I promised him that I would never reveal it to anyone.

Aside from them, the only people who knew the secret were Mo Haein and me.

“My tattoo is a secret, Goyo.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Our conversation on the rooftop was gradually coming to an end.

Finally, I gathered my courage and spoke.

But there was still the most important thing I had to say.

As I watched Kwak Hanmuk gather the things from the table, I hesitated for a few moments.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, I realized something.

Kwak Hanmuk, who was stacking the empty plastic cups, looked up at me.

“Captain Kwak, suppose that…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

He hadn’t mentioned even once what should probably have been the thing he was most curious about.

However.

Throughout our conversation on the rooftop, I had asked him many questions about things I was curious to know.

After the uproar caused by Pasung’s CEO Cha, it was obvious that rumors were already spreading throughout the Trial Response Agency that I might end up signing with Pasung.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could easily imagine everyone talking about what my future would be.

Kwak Hanmuk had remained silent.

And yet, the person most closely involved with me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe.

That gave me a strange feeling.

He simply didn’t want to make me feel pressured.

He hadn’t even asked me much about the slime.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Have you already signed?”

Apenas had I started speaking when Kwak Hanmuk interrupted me.

“If I end up officially signing with the Trial Response Agency…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

After thinking briefly, he asked,

“Not yet, but I plan to.”

After hearing my answer, Kwak Hanmuk lowered his gaze for a few moments.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“No. apron This is a decision I made myself.”

It was true that Director Jang Seokyun had said many things to me.

“…What did the Director say to you?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“C-Captain Kwak… if I join the Trial Response Agency…”

If I mentioned that conversation, I was afraid what I was about to say would sound like an obligation to Kwak Hanmuk.

But I didn’t believe any of them had influenced my decision.

Besides.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk simply waited in silence.

I hesitated.

“Weren’t we a team?”

It was incredibly difficult to say what came next.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Could you keep being on the same team as me?”

Honestly.

I wasn’t exactly a good teammate.

In the end, I gathered enough courage.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

It’s true that we managed to clear the Trials.

Even Mo Haein probably didn’t enjoy having me around.

If it hadn’t been for Director Jang Seokyun’s orders, someone as troublesome as me would probably have been kicked out long ago.

But throughout the entire process, all I did was cause trouble for the Special Operations Team.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Unable to look him in the eyes, I heard Kwak Hanmuk murmur,

the more the little confidence I had left disappeared.

The more I thought about it,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

He wore an expression that was difficult to read.

Still looking down, I cautiously raised my eyes toward him.

“A team…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

In the end.

Kwak Hanmuk was the first to look away.

Neither of us really knew how to react.

Staring at the sky, where the sun was already beginning to set, he murmured almost to himself,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, he already had Field Team 3.

It was understandable.

“A permanent team would be one hell of a burden.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk called my name again.

Just as I was beginning to think that maybe I’d have to find a way to clear the Trials on my own.

If the Special Operations Team, which had only been a temporary special unit, became a permanent team, it would naturally be a huge responsibility for him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was very rare for him to call me by my full name.

Startled, I immediately looked up.

“Han Goyo.”

“You…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as he was about to continue.

Rumbleee!

He slowly opened his mouth.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Nor was it storming.

It wasn’t a rainy day.

A deafening roar covered the sky.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

An enormous mass of fire was descending from the sky.

The moment the system window appeared, I looked up on pure reflex.

Run!!!!!

Its long trail shone with such overwhelming brilliance that it seemed capable of blinding me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

And then.

The ground beneath my feet seemed to ripple.

Had barely three seconds passed?

BOOM!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

A thick cloud of smoke, mixed with the smell of burning and concrete dust, engulfed the entire area.

A deafening explosion struck as though a bomb had detonated.

The concrete building shook violently.

My ears began ringing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before they could reach us, the beads of the rosary shot forward and raised a solid wall in front of Kwak Hanmuk and me.

Coughing over and over, I tried to wave the smoke away with my hand.

Chunks of concrete were hurled toward us.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

Kwak Hanmuk immediately dispelled the barrier to see what had happened.

The sight before us left us utterly stunned.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

An enormous crater had formed in the middle of the rooftop.

Was a stone the size of a fist.

At its center.

Deeply embedded in the melted concrete.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Neon green.

It hissed as it radiated an unsettling heat, as if it were alive.

Mixed with coal black.

Little by little, it regained its original color.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I stood there staring at it, frozen, only a few steps away.

It was a Trial Meteorite.

Shining intensely.

And then.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

A white fractal pattern split across the storm-ravaged night sky.

Flash!

***

The entire world began melting into a fluorescent glow.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Mixed with the sound of the rain was a deep mechanical hum in the background.

Rumble!

An instant later.

Thunder roared above our heads.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I” looked up at the building before me with trembling eyes.

Soaked by a storm so violent that it was impossible even to open an umbrella.

It was a maximum-security prison.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

It resembled a gigantic gray concrete mausoleum.

Built on an island in the middle of the sea.

Three or four layers of barbed wire surrounded the entire building.

Its outer walls, blackened by the rain, were covered in moss and salt stains.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had been sent there against my will.

“I” had been assigned there as the prison physician.

That prison had been built to imprison both extremely dangerous human criminals and Creatures.

Searchlights swept across the island, piercing through the curtain of rain until they stopped on me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

And all I felt was fear.

A surveillance camera from the control center watched me from above.

Completely drenched, “I” walked toward the massive steel gate.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was joined by the heavy pounding of a bass drum.

Shortly afterward, accompanied by a mechanical sound, a small metal door opened.

The music began fragmenting more and more as its tempo increased.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment I stepped inside the prison.

The thunderous rhythm felt as though it were crushing my heart.

A suffocating cold enveloped my entire body.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Amid that shrill sound that seemed to tear at my ears.

Five prison guards were staring directly at me.

Not a single drop of rain had fallen on their immaculate black uniforms.

A distorted synthesizer let out a piercing screech.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Every single one of them was exactly the same height.

I had heard about them many times before.

They wore black metal masks that covered the upper halves of their faces, leaving only their mouths visible.

They were said to be even more monstrous than the Creatures themselves.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

He spoke in a deep voice.

Around two meters tall.

Only one of them wore a gray metal mask.

I looked at them fearfully.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Breathing with difficulty, “I” nodded.

“Little Lamb?”

He was probably the Chief of Security.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This way.”

The Chief of Security cut me off.

“Yes. antenna I’m Little Lamb, the new prison physician. attic The weather turned out to be much more…”

There wasn’t the slightest trace of respect in his voice toward a young physician.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“We’re going to inspect your belongings. auction Step forward.”

In the center of the narrow room, surrounded by metal bars, stood a cold stainless-steel table.

I followed him to the inspection room.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Excuse me? attic I came here as a physician.”

“This isn’t the mainland, Little Lamb.”

Hearing such a blunt order, I almost doubted my own ears.

Lightly tapping his riot baton against the palm of his other hand, the Chief of Security continued,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It doesn’t matter how extraordinary a physician you were outside this island. aspect The moment you set foot here, you’re nothing more than a potential smuggler.”

I instinctively shrank back.

His voice overflowed with unmistakable contempt.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

A medical coat.

Another guard roughly snatched my bag away and dumped all of its contents onto the steel table.

A stethoscope.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’ll be easier for everyone if you cooperate according to the regulations.”

A personal notebook.

Several medicines.

Everything crashed onto the table.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

One of the guards lightly poked me with his baton while sneering.

Completely pale, I allowed them to search me as though I were a criminal.

When the inspection was finished.

“Hey, doctor. arctic You’d better keep being this obedient if you want to survive here.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Still soaked from the rain.

After that, they led me to a small room assigned to the prison physician.

I collapsed onto the floor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

A system window appeared before me.

Han Goyo (Little Lamb) has entered (The Cell Block X).

My body wouldn’t stop trembling.

Once I was completely alone.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though I had regained control of my body.

“……”

I couldn’t move for quite a while.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

Little Lamb’s role is “Prison Physician.”

Another system window appeared to inform me of my role.

I remained lying face down, trying to get my breathing back under control.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment.

Was Captain Kwak okay?

Why had a Trial Meteorite suddenly fallen?

So many thoughts flooded my mind that I couldn’t put them in order.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mr. sphere Gunbam! alert Are you alright?”

The Pudding Slime landed with a small bounce and, upon seeing me, opened his eyes wide.

A slime gently fell onto the floor.

Space tore open.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Cell Block X was a Trial I knew.

Trying to suppress the trembling in my body, I forced my mind to think.

The slime’s sudden appearance calmed me down a little.

Fortunately.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 98 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had never liked that game very much.

But.
