I’ll Be Taking A Break For Personal Reasons - Chapter 10
Setting the fire was an extreme choice, but if I hadn’t, I would have been eaten alive by ants.
Mrs. Yu covered her face and let out a deep sigh.
“I can’t help what has already happened. I’ll take care of the aftermath of being hospitalized, so take good care of yourself. The only thing you can see is what a bastard with only a face is good at. Whew.”
It is really reassuring to have an older sister with a back in times like this.
If I were alone, I would have been at a loss as to how to deal with it.
I sincerely bowed to my sister.
“The castle is ruined. A slender and beautiful older sister.”
“I am embarrassed.”
Seongyeon imitated me. not even cute My nephew said
, “Oh, anyway, it’s not a younger brother, it’s a lot.”
“What’s the matter?”
Sungyeon pointed at me with her finger and followed her sister.
Nephew. You can’t follow that. It’s support.
smart!
Then someone knocked on the door of the hospital room.
huh? There’s no one to come at this hour, so who is it?
Could it be that the great person in charge visited me personally after hearing about my hospitalization?
“Yes, please come in.”
But there was no answer.
Seongyeon hurriedly ran, opened the door, and stuck her head out.
“When?”
It’s a nephew who is not good for the heart.
It is a mystery of the century that such a kind and cute daughter could be born from such a vicious sister.
After looking around the door for a while, Seongyeon came back to me.
“uncle. no one is here.”
Instead, he whimpered and brought a large basket of flowers.
“Where did you get that?”
“I was at the door.”
The soft scent of flowers fills the room. The scent is really good. it’s more expensive
But no matter how much I think about it, there is no one to send me something like this?
[I wish the only god a speedy recovery.]
This one note with no sender was all.
“Sung Yeon-ah, can you give me that?”
I held out my hand in case there was something else.
“nah! This is mine!”
This cruel nephew hides a basket of flowers on his back.
okay. take it take it
I don’t know who sent it, but I’ll be sure to contact you later. The most likely thing is to buy a publisher.
Heung, if you really want to send these gentlemen, just send them something to eat. I love you anyway.
“But sister. Did you bring what you asked for?”
“okay.”
My sister frowned and handed me a large shopping bag.
“But what are you going to do with all this? Would you like to set up Cesco?”
“It’s time to write everything. Hehehe. If you want to come, come, damn ants.”
When I received the shopping bag full of pest control products, I smiled grimly as if I had won a thousand and one thousand horses.
If you have this, you won’t be afraid of ants!
“mom! Uncle is strange!”
At those words, my sister crossed her arms and clicked her tongue.
“Daughter, originally, your uncle was strange.”
***
It’s night.
“Cool. Cool.”
Yoo Il-shin, wrapped in bandages all over his body like a mummy, was asleep in the hospital room, snoring.
There were eyes watching him from afar.
The main character of the gaze was a girl wearing a sweatshirt and long straight hair tied in a ponytail.
A B-class hunter who is called Seong Mi-ri.
While hiding on the roof of the building opposite, she was secretly spying on the only god with eyesight that was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
This was not the first time she had met a man with the odd name of God the One.
At first, he went to the Hunter Association for a re-examination, and accidentally saved him from being attacked by a rhinoceros.
At that time, the Brain Emperor surpassed his B-class limits for the first time.
And I met the man again at the scene of the fire that I accidentally found three days ago.
The Thunder Emperor once again rescued him from suffocation in a fire and was on the verge of death.
That’s when I rushed to the emergency room to save him.
‘It was twice as fast as my usual power.’
The Brain Emperor moved at a speed beyond his limit.
When coincidences overlap, sometimes it feels like destiny.
The brainstorm occurred to him that perhaps the man might have something to push him beyond his limits.
It may be an excessive guess, but it felt like a drowning person grabbing at least a straw.
However, for three days, nothing unusual was found in the man.
Besides, he had no friends, so the only ones who came to visit were his older sister and nephew.
I couldn’t stand the impatience and tried to talk face to face, but suddenly an incident occurred and I left the flower basket.
‘But this is a perfect stalker.’
Feeling a sense of shame at the sight of herself spying on a man in hiding, the Emperor prepared to return.
If you leave the house too long, your sister might find you sneaking out.
When I was about to leave with that thought in mind.
The man who thought he was sleeping suddenly jumped up from the bed with a strange moan.
Then it started behaving strangely.

[ The only God bestows grace. (Edit) ]
[Dring! T-ring!]
“Ugh.”
I woke up to the damn God Maker’s alarm.
Even if you keep that silent, it won’t help.
Well, it was a cell phone that was fine even in the fire in the first place.
It would be correct to say that it is not just a cell phone, but something that already transcends my awareness.
But pissed off!
“Why are you yelling again at this time!”
It’s 2 o’clock in the morning.
Looking at the phone screen with sleepy and irritated eyes, I saw a group of familiar termites and black ants lying flat on the ground.
‘what are you doing?’
As if to answer my question, a message came up from Godmaker.
[The saintess and her 101 followers pray to the ‘one God’.]
“Ha.”
In terms of temper, I wanted to crush those who disturbed my sleep, but when they said they were praying for me, I didn’t dare to do that.
yes pray
i need to sleep more
Tring!
[The believers are about to offer offerings to the only God. Will you accept the tribute? (Yes/No)]
Just as I was about to lie back in bed, a message I hadn’t seen before appeared.
“tribute?”
A tribute is like a gift given to a person of high rank.
What the hell are these ants trying to give me?
“Yes.”
I accepted it with half curiosity and half anticipation.
Then the termite saint reverently held something up with both feet.
Tring!
[Successfully sent the tribute.]
Took! Degurur!
At the same time, something the size of half a pinkie nail protruded from the phone.
“What is this?”
I looked at what was sticking out of my phone.
The reddish-dark and talkative look was like the kind of my tzu that Seongyeon gives when she’s in a good mood.
“Sniff sniff.”
I don’t smell anything strange.
Where should I appraise?
do you want to
[The Fruit of the World Tree]
– One of the seven fruits that Yggdrasil, the World Tree, left behind in the world.
Oh that’s it!
“The fruit of the World Tree? The name sounds like it.”
By the way, the special item section is…
[Special item: It may be good for stamina. ]
Yum! Without going through the brain, the hand scooped the fruit into the mouth.
“Ouch!”
At the same time, I twisted my whole body involuntarily at the stimulation of my tongue.
It was bitter, spicy and salty, and it was a new era of taste.
Ugh, how does something called fruit taste like this?
[The saintess and believers watch the reaction of the only god in anticipation.]
On the screen of my phone, I saw ants staring at me with their front legs together.
gulp!
I tried to spit it out, but I managed to swallow it. Well, it’s good for stamina, so let’s eat it.
“phew.”
However, I didn’t feel any change in my body.
Well, it’s strange what you want from ants.
I look on you generously.
“okay. thanks.”
As I muttered a greeting, the ants cheered and danced.
Hey, are these funny?
It even looks a little cute.
When I was young, it was popular to raise an anthill.
At the time, I didn’t understand why ants were kept as pets, but now I think I understand a little bit.
While looking at the ants happily, God Maker reacted.
Tring!
[God Maker’s [God’s Grace] add-on has been activated.
[God’s Grace]
– You can give grace in return for the offerings made by the followers who serve the ‘one God’.
Believers thank God for his grace and will become even more faithful slaves.] The
newly created menu blinked.
[God’s Grace]
Let’s touch it out of curiosity
!
[Choose items to give to your followers. Items from reality will be sent to the God Maker world.]
This message came out.
I only received one really nasty tasteless fruit.
“hmm.”
But I have nothing to give you.
As I was contemplating what to give, something caught my eye.
“What kind of ant is this, right?
Tring!
[‘The only God’ bestows God’s grace.]
***
Some of the survivors of the Black Tribe were dissatisfied with the saintess.
“Saintess, no matter how you say it, you’re offering the clan’s treasure as a tribute! Please reconsider!”
The saintess firmly shook her head.
“Did you already forget the grace God saved us from the imperial army?”
“But the fruit of the World Tree is our tribe’s treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation. You don’t have to sacrifice it, do you?”
The fruit of Yggdrasil, the world tree said to have created this world.
In fact, its authenticity is unknown, but the fruit possesses strange powers.
If you are around the treasure, you will be full without eating and have the miraculous ability to heal small wounds in an instant.
It was all thanks to the efficacy of the fruit that the few survivors were able to escape the eyes of the imperial soldiers.
It was rumored that what the cruel emperor of the empire was aiming for from the black tribe was the fruit of this world tree.
“My heart is already made up. Offering the most precious thing we have left is the way to alleviate even a little of our sins of neglecting and forgetting Him for a long time.”
The saintess was immovable.
So the ceremony began.
The saintess and the 101 survivors of the Black Tribe headed to the dungeon where the god resided.
The passages wriggled like the entrails of a living beast and gave off a terrible stench like brimstone.
It’s not the first time I’ve been here, but I’ve never gotten used to it.
Is it truly divine to live in a place like this?
In fact, this dungeon had another name.
A dungeon that eats people.
Until now, many people have come here to ask for help with the feeling of a drowning person grabbing at least a straw.
But not a single one came back alive.
Except for the saintess, everyone was brutally murdered.
Considering his cruelty, he might be more suited to a devil than a god.
“You are the only God. Your servants earnestly request that the great being descend.”
Goo Goo Goo!
end of the dungeon.
God’s room where God dwells.
God descended into that endlessly vast space.
“Ugh.”
“Hey!”
The survivors shook their heads in terror.
God’s face was terrifying.
Its size was like a mountain, and its whole body was wrapped in pure white cloth.
The only thing revealed were the pupils, but no one was tall enough to dare to look at the gaze of the god that shone ferociously like the sun.
“Oh God. This is the most precious treasure left to our clan. We dedicate this to the one great God, so please take care of our people.”
The saintess lifted the fruit of the World Tree into the air.
through.
Then, the fruit of the world tree disappeared, and it was in the hands of the god before he knew it.
He looked at the fruit for a moment, then opened his abyss-like mouth without the slightest hesitation.
gulp!
“Ah, that treasure like that!”
The survivors of the Black Tribe were frustrated to see the clan’s treasure disappear in vain.
The 100,000 invading imperial army was wiped out, but the empire was still strong.
The 100,000 imperial soldiers who invaded this place were just the tip of the iceberg compared to the true power of the empire.
From such an empire, the few remaining members of the Black tribe needed that treasure in order to survive.
On the other hand, the god who received the offering trembled once as if he was thrilled and opened his lips that looked as heavy as a rock.
-Yes, thank you.
For a moment, the saintess and the survivors shuddered.
God’s voice was benevolent and warm, unlike his savage appearance.
He stretched out his hand towards the believers.
Tring!
[The Sole God grants God’s grace.]
Slowly.
Suddenly, white powder began to fall like snow from the air.
It was as beautiful as a jewel and had a sweet scent I had never smelled before.
A few of the survivors were curious and tasted the powder.
“How can it be!”
“How can it taste like this!”
Their whole body trembled.
It was a sweetness that did not exist in royalties.
It was a taste that seemed to exist only in heaven, where no honey would dare compare.
But that wasn’t all.
“Ohh, strength is boiling from all over my body!”
“omg! My arm, which was eaten by the Imperials, has grown again!”
Their bodies, which had been starving for a long time and were skinny, were energized and tremendous energy surged.
Even new limbs sprouted from the bodies of those whose limbs had been cut off.
It was truly a miracle from God.
While everyone was amazed, only the saintess remained calm as if such a miracle was natural.
“Look, everyone. This is our great God, the One God.”
The saintess shed tears and knelt reverently in front of the only god.
The survivors also shed tears of emotion and bowed their heads following the saintess.
Instead of the fear of earlier, with envy and deep trust.
“Ah, great and merciful, our one and only God!”
