Chapter 68

I opened my eyes at the cheerful sound of the notification.

Restaurant Day 2!
How about starting a new adventure tonight? zenith Make sure to stay up late.

Someone has come to the restaurant! palette It doesn’t seem to be a customer.

Go downstairs and take a look.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

‘He’s here.’

Once you reached level 10, the restaurant owner would appear the following morning to give you permission to enter the dungeon.

And from that point onward, the daily quota would also be unlocked.

The moment I saw the system window in front of me, I knew the time had come.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Just thinking about having to hand over my precious Gold to the owner was already painful.

Thinking about it, I got out of bed.

If that quota didn’t exist, there were countless things I could do with that money.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Dominic wasn’t there.

I quickly looked around and immediately jumped out of bed.

“…?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Mr. riddle Dominic? auction Where are you? agent Please answer me, Mr. anxiety Dominic…”

I murmured his name as I searched everywhere, but he didn’t appear.

I searched the entire room.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

‘Is he downstairs? arch He has to be there.’

I hurriedly opened the door and ran down the hallway.

It seemed he wasn’t in the room.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

‘What if he recovered his memories?’

A possibility began filling my mind.

Even though he now looked like a pudding slime, he was still the worst catastrophe imaginable.

Up until then, Dominic had never left my side even once.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

If it happened now, it would be as though I had personally summoned a calamity and unleashed it upon the world.

I knew he would recover his memories someday.

I still hadn’t found any solution.

But not yet.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

The butlers were beings tied to that Trial as well, so after the ending, they had most likely been sent back to Call of the Void before disappearing together with Three Worlds.

Samra had said that Three Worlds had been closed.

‘Besides, I already destroyed the place he could have gone back to.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

In Call of the Void, Master had shown me exactly what kind of existence he was.

He wouldn’t spare me, the Special Missions Team, or the Trials—perhaps not even planet Earth.

If “Master” recovered his memories under those circumstances.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

No! antique No! avalanche Don’t remember it! alert No! abandon No! autumn No!

That scene where he tore open the palm of his own hand with his fingernails.

That moment when he repeated death and resurrection over and over again.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

My vision was trembling so much that I couldn’t keep my balance.

I stopped halfway down the stairs and braced myself against the wall.

I desperately tried to steady my breathing, but my legs wouldn’t respond.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“…!”

I was about to tumble down the stairs.

My body swayed.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Someone caught me before I fell.

“You’re rather clumsy on your feet.”

“Whoa! amateur Be more careful.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Mr. athlete Gunbam! galaxy Are you alright?”

I couldn’t help staring in complete astonishment.

He was sitting on a table on the first floor.

Dominic.

He still had the same pudding slime appearance.

That deep, pleasant voice was filled with concern.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Once I calmed down, I finally looked at the person who had caught me.

The moment I saw his soft body, I felt so relieved that all the strength left my own.

He was a man with long crimson hair like flames that reached his waist.

‘There’s still time.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Dark, sturdy horns protruded from both sides of his head.

The man with reptilian pupils smiled, baring his teeth.

“Hoo… So you’re the new chef. anxiety You’re nothing but a newborn.”

In an arrogant voice, he declared,

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I looked at him in a daze.

“I am the owner of this place, Infernum.”

It wasn’t the worst scenario I had imagined.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

By reflex, the first thing I did was greet him.

I never thought I would one day see a slime and a Fire Dragon together.

But it wasn’t the one I had expected either.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

After replaying the game over and over, I had memorized them.

“Oh, great sovereign of the Fire Dragons. anxiety This humble mortal pays his respects to you. action I am Lamb.”

Normally, you only learned them after completing several side quests and mastering the proper etiquette for dealing with dragons.

Those words were a greeting you only learned very late in the story of Slay to Plate.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Not bad at all. apron I see you’re well educated.”

He made no attempt to hide his emotions as he praised me.

Hearing them so early, Infernum’s expression filled with satisfaction. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

His red eyes, gleaming like embedded gemstones, settled on me.

Calling a twenty-four-year-old man a “newborn” was already strange enough.

“But you’re not a mortal, are you? aspect You’re merely a newborn Young God.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I remembered the new title I had received.

Young God.

And on top of that, he had said I wasn’t a mortal.

Infernum was perceiving me as something other than human.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

To me, it was something like obtaining a second class.

‘Now that I think about it… why haven’t I received the Epic Quest yet?’

The truth was that the title itself didn’t mean much to me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Hoping the Epic Quest would appear before I completed Slay to Plate, I thought back to Infernum’s words.

Perhaps it had something to do with the system window exhausting all of its energy.

It was obvious the story didn’t end with simply closing three Trials, yet nothing new had appeared.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

In Call of the Void, Dominic treated NPCs as though they were worth less than insects.

‘Although, come to think of it, if he were an ordinary NPC, Dominic wouldn’t have any reason to be here.’

An ordinary NPC would never call someone a “Young God.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I arrived at what seemed to me the most logical conclusion.

If he had come downstairs to meet Infernum instead of staying with me, there had to be a reason.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Forgive my boldness, but are you a god, my lord?”

His hair, rippling like flames, swayed with his laughter.

The moment he heard my question, Infernum burst into hearty laughter.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I still didn’t truly understand what the concept of “rank” meant.

Could that hierarchy be the reason Dominic could see him?

“Hahaha! accent I am not a god. album But I am an existence infinitely close to one.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I compared Infernum’s red hair with Captain Kwak Hanmuk’s.

But the impression they gave was completely different.

The first thing I did was focus on the most obvious characteristic.

‘Although Captain Kwak’s hair is dyed.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

At least, not based on what I knew.

In any case, aside from the red hair, I couldn’t find any other obvious similarities between them.

I remembered him complaining that it was already time to touch up his roots.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“I wished to become a chef, so I decided to settle within Lord Infernum’s domain.”

“Little one. arrow How did you end up in my restaurant?”

“Hmm.”

I pushed my thoughts about Captain Kwak Hanmuk aside and focused on Infernum again.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Flames appeared in the air, and from within them emerged a contract.

Whoosh.

Infernum frowned slightly and snapped his fingers.

It was the restaurant’s lease agreement.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Beneath the large text stating a monthly rent of 1G was a clause written in tiny letters.

The rent remained at 1G only before the restaurant opened for business.

(However, once the restaurant begins operating, the amount and due date of the rent may be changed, and any such changes shall be entirely at the owner’s discretion.)

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

From that point onward, the true business of hell began.

And if a party of five lost even a single member, conquering the upper floors of the dungeon became impossible.

If you failed to pay the quota, you had to offer one of your teammates as food for a monster.

The moment you entered the dungeon to gather ingredients and started serving customers, the monthly rent became a daily quota, and that amount increased as the days of operation passed.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

From the moment you lost a teammate, the quotas continued increasing little by little, you could no longer keep up, and the monsters devoured the remaining members one after another until the inevitable end was total annihilation.

The Fire Dragon Infernum, sitting right in front of me.

And that monster was.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Yes…”

“Little one, did you read the contract carefully?”

In reality, Slay to Plate was practically one enormous restaurant built for Infernum.

I answered with a heavy heart.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I swallowed the comment that had almost slipped out and smiled.

Couldn’t there be a special children’s discount instead of advice? altitude Something like a huge reduction in the daily quota.

“Starting today, I will allow you to access a new area. abandon However, little one, it would be better if you didn’t enter such a dangerous place.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Infernum clicked his tongue.

“Thank you for worrying about me. adjust But I wish to fulfill my dream of becoming a chef.”

At that moment, Dominic, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, crossed the table and approached me.

“You were sleeping so deeply that I didn’t want to wake you, Mr. action Gunbam.”

“Mr. artist Dominic…”

It felt as though my heart had nearly jumped out of my chest first thing in the morning.

Next time, I wanted to ask him to wake me up even if he had to hit me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I looked back and forth between Infernum and Dominic before asking cautiously,

And if he couldn’t do it physically with that slime body, he could at least pinch my nose shut.

“May I ask what the two of you were talking about so early this morning…?”

As I spoke, I checked the time.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

5:30 a.m.

When I saw the time in the system window, I froze.

It struck me as strange that Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and the Captains still hadn’t come downstairs despite all the noise we were making on the first floor.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Yet I had awakened before the designated time.

In Slay to Plate, everyone fell asleep at midnight, and the new day began at six in the morning.

‘What…? august Why?’

Both falling asleep and waking up were processes enforced by the system.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Dominic replied as calmly as ever.

“That’s right, little one. accent I sensed an unusual presence and came early to take a look. palette Then this gentleman welcomed me.”

I had no idea what kind of anomaly had caused that.

“I attended to the visitor while you were sleeping, Mr. voyage Gunbam. antenna The more refined a restaurant is, the more attentive its service should be, don’t you think? canvas Lord Infernum possesses extraordinarily broad knowledge on many subjects. august It was a very pleasant conversation.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“I was told you were traveling with him. zenith What unfortunate luck, to have ended up in my territory of all places.”

Infernum looked at Dominic with a faint trace of respect in his eyes.

It seemed Infernum didn’t know Dominic’s true identity.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

In any case, if he had attended to the guest in my place, there wasn’t much I could say.

Rather, it looked as though Dominic had deliberately concealed it.

‘I’m sure he has his reasons.’

I couldn’t ask him directly in front of Infernum, so I changed the subject.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Lord Infernum, I have a request.”

“The daytime dungeon?”

“Would you allow me to enter the dungeon during the daytime as well?”

“What is it?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

In Slay to Plate, players only explored the dungeon at night because of the fire energy.

During the day, when the sun was high in the sky, that energy increased tremendously, strengthening the monsters under the Fire Dragons’ dominion as well.

Infernum repeated my words in obvious surprise.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

A monster on the first floor of the daytime dungeon possessed power comparable to a monster on the ninety-ninth floor of the nighttime dungeon.

In other words, I was asking for permission to enter an area intended for level 99 characters.

That was why the daytime dungeon was normally post-game content meant for after completing the game’s ending.

Infernum clicked his tongue once more.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

If you died inside the dungeon, you were immediately devoured and became food for Infernum.

And he was right. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

That was one of the reasons Slay to Plate was so difficult.

“It’s far too dangerous for a little one like you.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Outside the dungeon, you could die as many times as necessary and revive in the restaurant’s rooms.

And the daytime dungeon was, by far, the place where death came most easily.

But inside the dungeon—the truly dangerous place—a single death meant becoming a monster’s meal.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Don’t tell me he meant the grass tea.

“Stay here and have a cup of tea. amateur I’ve heard you make excellent tea.”

However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I looked at Dominic.

He merely flicked his ears as if to say it had nothing to do with him.

I turned back to Infernum with the utmost respect.

It was the only tea I had made since arriving in Slay to Plate.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“My skills are still limited, but fortunately, my companions are extraordinarily capable. antique I’m certain we’ll be able to obtain ingredients of the highest quality even in the daytime dungeon. abstract I beg you, Lord Infernum.”

“Hmm.”

“Grass tea is far too humble to serve someone like you, Lord Infernum. adjust My intention is to make this restaurant prosper and serve you dishes truly worthy of your status.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Little one. matrix Do you know what happens if you die in the dungeon?”

“Yes, I do.”

Infernum stared at me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Does that mean you wish to become my food?”

He kept his gaze fixed on me for a long time.

When I didn’t answer, he narrowed his eyes and muttered,

His pupils narrowed even further.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

The sincerity with which he spoke about his appetite was unsettling.

But I didn’t feel genuine fear.

“Yes… If I could devour you, I would enjoy a fine banquet again after such a long time…”

Because I had already experienced true terror earlier that morning.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

I knew Infernum’s true nature.

This was exactly what I had expected.

Besides.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Ah… No matter how much I devour, this hunger never disappears. antique Gunbam… bring me the supreme culinary delicacy.”

Seeing that I remained unfazed, he let out a short laugh.

In the game, Infernum was willing to do anything to obtain the finest delicacy.

“Do as you wish.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Then a red seal appeared on my skin.

I felt a slight burning sensation.

A thin thread of flame shot forward and touched the back of my hand.

He extended a finger toward me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

His body was glowing with obvious displeasure.

Without realizing it, I glanced sideways at Dominic.

You have received the Fire Dragon’s Seal. portal From this moment onward, you have permission to enter the dungeon.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Since the two of us were bound by a contract, I imagined he disliked me forming a connection with another existence.

“Little one I look forward to the day you take your place upon my table.”

Just as I had expected, he seemed rather annoyed.

Even so, he also seemed to understand that it was necessary to complete the Trial, so he decided to tolerate it.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

Flames enveloped Infernum, and he disappeared.

I held out my hand to him.

Only Dominic and I remained on the restaurant’s first floor.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

The pudding slime stared at me intently and said,

The gentle glow radiating from his body sent a chill down my spine.

“The dish you promised to prepare for me, Mr. atom Gunbam.”

However, instead of climbing onto it, Dominic simply looked up at me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 68 by Indra Translations.

“Could you prepare it using that Fire Dragon?”

With perfect courtesy, Dominic made his request.
