Chapter 3

Since I was trying to fulfill the conditions for the True Ending, I couldn’t afford to let the toys develop too much hostility toward me.

‘Since Smiley is a toy too, maybe this can help heal him?’

It was a kind of insurance.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“What are you doing?”

I hurried to catch up with Park Seonggyeon while discreetly glancing back.

“Ah, sorry. voyage I was tying my shoelaces for a moment.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

The candy was still resting on Smiley’s hand.

“……”

The only thing that had changed was that the mechanical noise coming from him had stopped.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

It didn’t seem to have had much effect.

On the walls and ceiling on both sides of the door were dozens of small levers in different colors.

After passing through a long corridor decorated with murals that simply explained the toys of Happy Smile Factory, we arrived in front of a massive plastic door.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“Lieutenant Park, right side.”

Park Seonggyeon did the same with those on the right wall and the ceiling.

When Mo Haein extended her claw hand, a plastic chain shot out with a snap and grabbed a lever on the ceiling.

She quickly pulled down the colored levers on the left wall and the ceiling.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Clack.

When they pulled the final lever, cheerful music began to play and the plastic door opened.

Normally, it was necessary to observe the color patterns drawn on the floor in order to operate the levers correctly, but from the ease with which they acted, it was obvious they already knew the sequence by heart.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

This was the place where players began their first shift as factory employees.

Mo Haein and Park Seonggyeon entered without hesitation.

The task consisted of sorting the toys arriving on the conveyor belt, and since it was the first job, the difficulty was low.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Because—

However, unlike them, I subtly slowed my pace.

“C-Captain.”

“…The pattern changed.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

The lights began turning on from the entrance inward, gradually revealing the dark space.

Clack. arcade Clack. anxiety Clack.

All the toys that should have been quietly moving along the conveyor belt were on the floor. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Music that should have sounded cheerful filled the area, but it only felt unsettling.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

◆ Main Mission: Survive the killer toys.

Staring directly at Mo Haein and Park Seonggyeon with their shining plastic eyes.

A system window appeared along with a notification sound.

Ding!

The toys do not forgive the adult who attacked Smiley.

You believe you must survive while escaping from the enraged toys.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

The most important one was.

As a government organization, the Trial Response Agency enforced very strict rules inside the Trials.

I sighed inwardly as I slowly moved toward a safe area.

‘That’s what they get for hitting Smiley….’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Those who became infected suffered physical mutations and developed intense aggression toward humans.

The reason was to minimize the risk of infection.

The Trials brought from outer space possessed a very peculiar virus.

“No unnecessary contact with NPCs.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

As an Agency soldier, Mo Haein always followed the rules to the letter.

She had likely expected some changes in the story, but she had never imagined the situation would deviate this much.

This was probably the first time she had attacked an NPC ahead of schedule.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

By attacking Smiley, the first NPC in the game, every toy in the factory became the player’s absolute enemy.

The route she was following now was the most difficult of them all.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Throughout every stage, the toys would constantly attack the player, and in the end, the player would escape from a factory engulfed in flames.

It has collapsed.

Smiley was torn apart and thrown into the flames, yet even so, he could not die.

The final line of the Collapse Ending was especially chilling.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

‘But the Collapse Ending route is also connected to the True Ending route.’

Smiley will return to find the player once more, transformed into a terrible nightmare.

It was an ending I still remembered perfectly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“It’s the adult who bothered Smiley. auction An aduuult. abstract A boring adult.”

As I recalled the Collapse Ending, a child’s voice began to sound along with the music.

Hundreds of toys stared at Mo Haein and Park Seonggyeon while swaying their bodies to the rhythm of the music, as if doing warm-up exercises.

If I handled things correctly, I could maintain my role as an ignorant civilian and still obtain the True Ending of Happy Smile Factory.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“But it’s already an adult. amber Adult. palette Aduuult. apron No good. august We don’t like it. adopt It’s boring.”

“We want to make the adult fun.”

“Ah!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“We found the answer! acquire Let’s make the adult smaller!”

The sound of cymbals rang out, followed by the cheers of children.

“Smaller. legend Smaller. matrix Smaller. sphere Like a child. absorb Li-like a child. absorb Smaller. academy Smaller.”

“Pieces. auction Pieces. adapt Pieces. anxiety Pieces. arctic Pieces.”

“Civilian!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Park Seonggyeon, who had been moving his head from side to side just like the toys, suddenly came back to his senses.

The next instant, he placed me on the conveyor belt.

Letting out a curse, he extended his claw hand and grabbed me around the waist.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“Yes!”

In other words, he wasn’t going to save me no matter what happened.

I answered energetically while sighing inwardly.

“If you don’t want to die, stay still here!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

It was a safe zone used to avoid attacks in Happy Smile Factory.

However, there was something neither Park Seonggyeon nor Mo Haein knew.

The conveyor belt classified the player as a toy.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“Let’s begin turning adults into children!”

The conveyor belt was useless. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

On the Collapse route…

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

The plastic chain latched onto a pipe running across the ceiling, and she hung suspended from it.

Children’s laughter echoed along with the end of the announcement.

Mo Haein extended her toy arm toward the ceiling.

The toys that had been swaying began popping up like popcorn and launched themselves into an attack.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

It was Mo Haein’s item, the Black Moon Blade.

An obsidian guandao appeared out of nowhere.

With her human hand, she sliced through the air.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Using items acquired from other Trials greatly increased the likelihood of generating unexpected variables.

The Trial Response Agency recommended clearing each Trial using only the items obtained within that same Trial.

But since this was an emergency, it seemed she had decided to bring out the Black Moon Blade.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Even in the middle of that critical situation, I couldn’t help but be amazed.

I was seeing Mo Haein’s Black Moon Blade with my own eyes.

‘Woah….!’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Park Seonggyeon pushed away the toys with his claw hand while holding a flashlight in his human hand to shine its light on them.

I watched her fight as though I were hypnotized.

And from this close.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

I would have liked to keep watching, but unfortunately I didn’t have time.

Mo Haein did not waste that opportunity and cut them down with the Black Moon Blade.

The toys split apart by the long blade let out screams resembling those of small children while spilling multicolored blood in rainbow hues.

The toys caught in the flashlight’s beam froze for an instant.

I didn’t have any items equipped, but avoiding their attacks wasn’t difficult.

Then I ran across the conveyor belt, dodging the toys that lunged at me.

With great effort, I tore my gaze away from Mo Haein.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

As I sprinted along the conveyor belt, I quickly inspected the toys thrashing around everywhere.

Since I had seen every ending in HasFac, I knew every pattern by heart.

Because I knew their attack patterns.

The movements the toys made while swaying when the music started were clues to those patterns. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

A mass-produced 15-centimeter Smiley doll.

However, finding what I was looking for wasn’t difficult.

New toys kept coming out of the production pipes, turning the place into complete chaos.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

I stretched my arm into the crowd of toys.

But it was an indispensable item for obtaining the True Ending.

Among all the brightly colored and fluorescent toys, that completely black doll barely stood out.

Black Edition.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“Ugh…!”

Even so, I managed to grab the black Smiley.

A pony doll wearing an apron had slashed my forearm with the plastic knife it was holding.

A burning sensation grazed my arm.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

It was the box where the NPC Smiley was originally supposed to be stored.

I ran along the conveyor belt again and arrived in front of some packing boxes stacked behind the production machines.

Among them was one that was especially large.

Smiley Black Edition: The only Sad Smiley that exists in the entire world.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Since it had been designed to contain a one-meter-tall doll, an adult could easily fit inside.

Now it was empty because of the attack Mo Haein had launched against him.

I climbed into the box and curled up inside it.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

By then, they had almost finished off all the toys.

In any case, once I had settled inside the box, I watched Mo Haein and Park Seonggyeon through the transparent plastic.

It was a rather pathetic sight.

When it was pixel art, it didn’t seem that strange, but doing it in real life was somewhat embarrassing.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

‘Is it smiling?’

I quickly examined the Smiley doll.

Every second was valuable, but I froze.

If I took any longer, obtaining the True Ending might become impossible.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

The Sad Smiley doll was smiling.

But I couldn’t have picked up the wrong doll either.

Just as its name indicated, Sad Smiley should have had a sad expression.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

As I stared at it, I realized it was stained with my blood.

When my arm was cut, a few drops had splashed onto the doll, but because it was black, I hadn’t noticed.

In the entire colorful toy factory, Sad Smiley was the only toy without colors.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Even so, Sad Smiley continued smiling.

It was a suspicious situation, but I didn’t have time to think.

I quickly wiped away the blood.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

I firmly pressed Sad Smiley’s belly.

“Please make Sad Smiley happy.”

In the original game, two choices would appear.

A recorded child’s voice sounded from inside.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

— Ask how to make him happy.

— Ignore it.

But there were no dialogue options here, so I had to speak directly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“Please become Sad Smiley’s owner.”

In the game, Sad Smiley was supposed to give a clue related to the hidden secret of the toy factory.

“What do I have to do to make you happy?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

The Sad Smiley in my hand split in half.

“Let’s stay together forever. amateur Being together is fun. amateur If it’s fun, it’s happy. accent Forever. timber Foreeeeever. zenith Forever. antique Forever. matrix Forever. arena Foreveeeer….”

Crack! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Did it just tell me directly…?

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“I told you to stay still, civilian.”

Mo Haein was staring directly at me while holding the Black Moon Blade stained with rainbow-colored remains.

Black blood splattered across my face.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

The transparent plastic of the box where I had been hiding had also been sliced in half, so getting out was easy.

Everything around me was stained with rainbow colors.

Holding half of the Sad Smiley, I climbed out of the box.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

Park Seonggyeon frowned and shouted at me.

“I told you not to move on your own!”

“Sorry. silence I was on the conveyor belt like you told me, but the toys attacked me, so I had to dodge them….”

I was still stunned by Sad Smiley’s strange behavior, so I reacted a little late.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

“They attacked you even though you were on the belt?”

I placed it next to the half I was holding and set a Nut Candy on top.

Mo Haein’s and Park Seonggyeon’s expressions instantly turned serious.

While they briefly discussed it between themselves, I found the other half of Sad Smiley that had been sent flying away.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 3 by Indra Translations.

My heart was pounding with excitement…!

I stared fixedly at Sad Smiley’s smiling face.

Wow, this was a completely unexpected situation.
