Chapter 9

Researchers completely outfitted in protective suits and equipment reported in tense voices.

The error tones continued sounding repeatedly.

“Attempt number three failed. anxiety It has been determined to be an error, and it has been confirmed that even forced measurement is impossible.”

Beep— Beep— Beep—.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Ham Jiwol, Head of the Research Analysis Division, who was reviewing the values, quickly turned her gaze toward Kwak Hanmuk.

Fear began spreading among the researchers.

Kwak Hanmuk waved a hand to indicate that he was still maintaining the restraint properly.

One of the monitors displayed a waveform that had never been seen before.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

‘I wish it were radioactive material.’

It looked as though she were handling radioactive material.

Ham Jiwol cautiously approached ‘it’ and replaced the patch that had been attached to it.

Thinking that, Kwak Hanmuk observed through the glass.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

However, the protagonist of all that remained calm.

The man sleeping peacefully, completely wrapped in rosary beads, seemed to be one step removed from all the commotion surrounding him.

The atmosphere was heavy with tension.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Kwak Hanmuk absentmindedly rolled one of the beads of his rosary, as was his habit.

His rosary was a defensive item.

It was an ideal item for restraining and subduing targets.

Made from byeokjomok wood and infused with lightning energy, it could extend freely and, within a certain range, even separate into multiple sections.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

The reason was simple.

In fact, he rarely used its original function of restraint and capture.

However, Kwak Hanmuk usually used it in extravagant ways as an offensive weapon.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“Hanmuk, restrain him.”

Because it was boring.

But what had happened a little while ago?

The moment Mo Haein gave the order, he launched the restraint technique without a second thought.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

It had been an instinctive movement.

The feeling from that moment, when he acted purely on intuition without passing through reason, was still vivid in his memory.

When Kwak Hanmuk asked while shaking his head, Mo Haein answered immediately.

“Haein. arch What the hell did you pick up this time?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Mo Haein had submitted reports to her superiors without even having time to rest.

Her face looked exhausted.

“I didn’t pick him up. armor He appeared in front of me.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“Could he be human?”

“…I don’t know.”

However, her eyes were shining intensely.

The only thing keeping her standing was the euphoria of having permanently closed a Trial through a True Ending.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

At the moment Park Seonggyeon’s head exploded into golden fragments, Mo Haein saw it clearly.

Something impossible for a human being. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

At that moment, all available personnel of the Trial Response Agency were investigating the existence known as Han Goyo.

The change that occurred in ‘its’ eyes.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Whether he was someone infected by a Trial virus.

Soon Samra would begin a formal investigation.

Perhaps then they could discover what he truly was.

Or whether he was a non-human existence.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Only one thing mattered.

Could he be used?

In truth, Mo Haein did not care very much what Han Goyo was.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Or not?

If he helped close Trials through True Endings, Mo Haein was willing to accept whatever he was.

“You worked hard, Captain.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

But Mo Haein pushed that memory out of her mind.

Suddenly, she remembered the way he had congratulated her.

That faint smile belonged to a completely ordinary university student.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

However, now they only interfered with her judgment.

The feelings she had experienced then had been genuine.

While watching the sleeping Han Goyo without taking her eyes off him for even a moment, Kwak Hanmuk, who had been toying with the rosary beads, suddenly spoke.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“You said the Trial NPCs showed a friendly attitude toward Han Goyo.”

Mo Haein frowned at the absurd question.

“Yes.”

“By any chance, did you try attacking him with the Black Moon Blade?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

But Kwak Hanmuk was completely serious.

Kwak Hanmuk let out a disbelieving laugh, as if he himself couldn’t believe what he was saying.

“No, I know it sounds fucking crazy, but my rosary keeps feeling it.”

“It wants to release him.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Finally, he voiced the impossible hypothesis that had been weighing on his mind.

Mo Haein slightly parted her lips.

Kwak Hanmuk pressed the beads of his rosary while watching Han Goyo.

For a while now, the rosary had been giving him small chills on his skin, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“Not only the NPCs of the Trials…”

“…Even the items might be favorable toward Han Goyo.”

“Ugh…”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

I saw a white ceiling. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

I opened my eyes while suppressing a groan.

It looked like a hospital room.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

But reality was completely different.

Moreover, I was wearing a restraint uniform and was tied to a chair.

When I opened my eyes, I was in an interrogation room.

…That was what I would have liked to think upon waking up.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

‘Now I’m really screwed.’

But this could barely be called a trial.

The Trial Response Agency belonged to the Ministry of Defense, so trials were held in military courts.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“This bastard is evil!”

In other words.

Due to the organization’s special nature, they had their own courts and completely independent procedures.

And the Agency’s military judge could imprison or punish you immediately.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

‘Come to think of it, why can’t I register Kwak Hanmuk?’

Noticing that the pain in my thigh had decreased considerably, a question crossed my mind.

All my injuries had been treated.

At least there was a small piece of good news.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Someone like Captain Kwak was an important and powerful character.

He should be registrable.

But the system window had never appeared.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

You currently possess only ‘3 registration slots.’

There is a possibility that he may escape from your ■■.

You think you must proceed cautiously when registering characters.

You consider it far too early to use a slot on ‘Kwak Hanmuk.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

A simple question received an extremely strict answer.

You think it would be a good idea to register ‘Mo Haein.’

You wish to increase your abilities as a System as soon as possible.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

At that moment, the closed door opened.

Since my doubt had already been resolved, I ignored the system window as usual.

“Hello, Mr. amateur Han Goyo.”

A man wearing a Trial Response Agency uniform entered the room.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“I am ■■■ of the Trial Response Agency.”

The man smiled kindly as he introduced himself.

Although I heard his name, he was a character I did not recognize at all.

But what had he said his name was?

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

The man looked at how I was wrapped up like a cocoon and put on a sympathetic expression.

“It must be very uncomfortable, right? album If you cooperate properly, we’ll release you immediately.”

I fully intended to cooperate.

No matter how hard I tried to remember, the name I had just heard would not come to mind.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

After all, I had nowhere else to go.

If I left here, I would become homeless, so I tried to put on the friendliest expression possible and replied.

‘They are literally my solution for lodging, food, and survival.’

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“First of all… what does Gunbam mean?”

The man sitting across from me briefly checked a tablet and smiled.

“Yes. anchor I look forward to working with you.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

But I ended up giving him a stupid look instead.

I was prepared to answer immediately.

“Excuse me?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

I panicked.

“Ah, Gunbam…”

“Gunbam.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

‘How the hell do I explain Gunbam? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’

Not knowing what to do, I blinked several times before answering hesitantly.

For a moment, I thought it might also be some kind of interrogation technique.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Trying to appear as cooperative as possible, I explained everything I could.

“Well… it just means Gunbam. amateur You know, roasted chestnuts.”

The atmosphere turned cold.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Wow.

The more I explained it, the more I felt I was ruining the situation.

That sounded pathetic.

“My name is Han Goyo. anchor You know, like the Christmas carol Silent Night. arrow At first, people called me Gobam. abstract Then one day I was eating roasted chestnuts with some friends, and Gobam turned into Gunbam…”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“So Gunbam is a nickname you chose yourself?”

But stopping halfway through would have been even stranger.

“…And that’s how my nickname changed. alpha Since it was a familiar word, I ended up using Gunbam quite often as a username online and things like that.”

Even when I played Archive, I always used Gunbam as the player’s name.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“……”

“Yes.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

I wanted to move on from the Gunbam topic as quickly as possible.

But there was nothing else I could explain.

‘Let’s go to the next question.’

The man fell silent.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“The names assigned within a Trial reflect a Compatible’s characteristics or possess some kind of symbolism.”

He stared directly at me.

While I waited obediently, the man spoke again.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

It was the first time I had heard something like that.

I had always thought everyone chose whatever name they wanted, just like when creating a character in a video game.

“And all of those names are assigned by the Trial itself.”

It was the kind of gaze meant to detect lies.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Even though I had played Archive extensively, much of the world’s information appeared as bonus content after finishing the game.

“There has never been a single case where a name without any special characteristic or meaning, and one personally chosen by the user, was used inside a Trial. autumn Not once.”

It was inevitable that there would be things I didn’t know.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

The man showed me the tablet.

“Park Seonggyeon received a completely different name from the one the Trials had normally assigned him.”

“During [Happy Smile Factory], there was another Compatible besides you whose name underwent a change.”

A photograph of Park Seonggyeon appeared on the screen.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Sample.

Written on it was:

I immediately remembered Park Seonggyeon’s identification badge in HasFac.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Sample.

[‘Park Seonggyeon’ is a registrable sample character. anchor Would you like to register him?]

It was such an obvious name that it practically screamed:

And I also remembered another system window.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

The choice had not been bad either.

From the very moment he entered HasFac, Park Seonggyeon had been marked as a sample for me.

“Please notice it!”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

I could clearly feel the will of some existence that wanted me to develop my abilities as a System.

However, I did not like the situation. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Precisely because it was Park Seonggyeon, I was able to choose the execution option without guilt or hesitation.

In any case, the interrogation seemed to be going poorly.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

While I was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, the man continued questioning me.

‘I can’t exactly say that my characteristic or symbolism is Gunbam…’

“You knew the method to complete [Happy Smile Factory] with the True Ending. athlete Correct?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

The man smiled slightly before finishing the sentence.

“It was a coincidence.”

“Han Goyo displayed exceptional skill during the boss battle and knew completely new strategies that even the Trial Response Agency was unaware of. voyage Thanks to that, he achieved the True Ending.”

“…That was what Captain Mo Haein reported.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“It really was a coincidence. silence It reminded me of a video game I liked, so I decided to try a few things, and it just happened to work…”

And asked the question as though he had already decided I was responsible.

The man interrupted me.

“Why did Park Seonggyeon’s head explode?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

The man let out a long sigh.

“I don’t know anything about that.”

I denied it again.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

I knew that…

“Yes.”

“Mr. arena Han Goyo.”

“Perhaps you still don’t understand, so allow me to explain. crystal Torture is legal in the Trial Response Agency.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

‘Can’t this guy be registered either?’

To do that, I would have to tell the absurd truth that I had entered the world of Archive from a video game.

But I couldn’t confess so easily either.

Believe me, I knew that perfectly well…

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Entities that are not ■■ cannot yet be registered.

Then a system window appeared.

The window appeared suddenly.

For a moment, I imagined registering him and threatening to execute him.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

‘Damn black blocks. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. ’

To avoid letting him notice where I was looking, I lowered my gaze and pretended to be frightened.

I didn’t understand why it hid certain words.

Then another window appeared.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Insufficient.

It only sent a single word.

Now it didn’t even bother writing, “Your abilities are insufficient.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

At this rate, it would eventually communicate using only initials.

I was about to ignore the window.

■■…

But then I looked again at those black blocks.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

One of the main characters of the Trial Response Agency.

The moment I thought of that word, a revelation hit me like a hammer.

What if it meant human?

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

I spoke his name.

He was an artificial intelligence android system.

He was not human.

An existence created by South Korea using Trial items to fight the Trials themselves.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

At that instant, I could clearly see the face of the man who until then had seemed completely normal.

“Samra Man-Sang.”

His face was covered by a black stain, as if someone had scribbled all over it.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

And revealed his true appearance.

The paint covering his face gently disappeared.

The moment I perceived that anomaly, the dark Trial Response Agency uniform turned white.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

That existence smiled.

An existence with colors impossible for a human being.

Hair and eyes shining with holographic colors that constantly changed depending on the light.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

A wall formed from countless monitors, smartphones, tablets, and screens of every kind connected to one another with no apparent order.

In its place appeared a gigantic wall whose height seemed endless.

The dark interrogation room disappeared.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

Seated high above, Samra looked down at me.

In front of that wall stood an absurdly high platform.

Each displayed different images from around the world.

On top of it was a chair without a backrest.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 9 by Indra Translations.

“How did you figure it out, Mr. legend Han Goyo?”
