Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 309
[Level Up with God Episode 309]
* * *
The light obscured the view.
no.
Not only was my sight blocked, but all my five senses were blocked.
Paralysis of the five senses was a mysterious experience no matter what time I experienced it.
When I think about it, I felt the same way when I came back using Clockwork.
Feeling like everything about yourself is disappearing. Your body, your strength, and even this big world that surrounds you.
After that all disappeared, new things appeared again.
Swoosh swoosh-.
New pictures begin to be drawn on the white drawing paper.
Faint undertones.
It was vague, but it looked like it was somewhere in the middle of the city.
‘I said it was the memory of Uranus.’
What should I do here?
Before the world started moving again, Yuwon waited for the next message.
OK.
[‘Memories of Uranus’ begins.]
[If successful, control of Uranus is obtained.]
‘Control?’
Until now, Yuwon thought he was dealing with Uranus.
But that wasn’t it.
Being able to gain control meant that he had never had control over Uranus.
It was a very possible story.
Ouranos was an ego-shaped item that was difficult to find in the tower.
It was not strange for items to have control over themselves as they had egos.
A message was received through the system,
‘Uranus’s restraint….’
This was some kind of test.
A test to handle an item called Uranus.
It was in a similar context to Susanoo’s tomb being treated as a dungeon.
And it was an obvious story as to who prepared for this test.
“It’s my delusion.”
A voice came from next to me.
“We sell Tanghulu, a martial arts snack!”
“mom! “That’s me.”
“Let’s go quickly, we’re late for school!”
“This is what is trending among young people these days…”
People started to move around.
It seemed as if it had come to life in an instant.
Yuwon turned his head.
Among these countless people.
There was a person standing next to him who stood out and shined alone.
“Isn’t it pretty well made?”
A face that resembles Zeus.
I thought that if Hargan was Zeus’ son, he might also be Zeus’ father.
But Yuwon knew Zeus’ father.
Kronos.
And what was clear was that the man in front of him was not Kronos.
“You’re living well in a place like this.”
“Let’s get rid of it. “Because I’m just living.”
“…but.”
Yuwon continued speaking while looking around the crowded city center.
“No matter how well it is made, it is ultimately fake.”
No matter how many fake fish you hang in an empty fish tank, it cannot become the ocean.
This world was like that.
“so? “What am I supposed to do here?”
If this is really a test given by Uranus, there will be tasks to be completed within that test.
But the message didn’t give any details.
There is only one case like this.
The actions of the player taking the test are reflected in the test, and the success of the test is judged based on the results.
To get a hint, you have no choice but to run with your feet.
And the most important person in this test was Uranus right in front of us.
He opened his mouth.
“It’s a kind of siege.”
“Siege?”
“Among them, your role is closer to Mercury.”
It was a puzzling answer.
Siege.
It was a familiar method.
If there are three tests, this method will be adopted for one test.
However, it was difficult to get a sense of what a siege was like in a city like this.
“Anyway, what do you think? here.”
Uranus turned his back and looked around with a proud face.
Yuwon asked after looking at the cityscape full of people for a moment.
“I don’t think we created a place that didn’t exist. “Where is it?”
“It’s the old Olympus.”
“Old Olympus? here?”
Yuwon looked at the scenery again with new eyes.
Olympus was a city located above the clouds. However, no matter how much I looked around, it was difficult to see that it was a cloud.
This fact can be seen just by looking at the mountain in the distance.
This meant that it was a different land, with only the same name.
“Olympus used to be in a place like this. “It was a big place, but it wasn’t that rich and grand.”
“Was this a long time ago?”
“If you think about the long history of the tower, you could say it was a long time ago, or you could say it was a while ago. But it was probably too long ago for you to even imagine.”
Slur-.
Uranus’s appearance gradually faded away.
He was being erased as if he was never there in the first place..
“Then do your best.”
It’s a light farewell.
It was a cool greeting, like a friend saying that they will meet again soon.
The figure of Uranus quickly disappeared from his spot.
‘It’s not like there are no clues.’
The clue was Uranus’ words.
Old Olympus, which existed a long time ago.
However, that Olympus no longer exists and has been reborn in a new location.
And the siege.
Yuwon was able to find out what was going to happen through the conversation with Uranus.
‘Being attacked by something…’
People who live brightly without knowing anything.
‘This place is disappearing.’
It was unknown when their appearance would change to black and white.
I just know that the fight over what is about to happen is what Yuwon has to deal with.
The broad framework of the exam has been decided.
Yuwon rolled his red eyes and looked around.
‘okay.’
Sigh-.
Countless crowds. A young man walking through them.
Seeing a somewhat familiar face, Yuwon began to follow the young man.
* * *
As Yuwon walked down the street, he looked around more closely.
I wasn’t looking at something specific, like a person, a building, or the sky.
Yuwon just saw this world.
This was not a world that actually existed, like a single layer.
It was a virtual world close to the real thing created by Uranus.
‘Even though there was intervention by the system, it is this realistic.’
The sense of discomfort that initially felt unrealistic has now disappeared.
The life I felt from the people passing by made me confused at every moment whether this place was real or fake.
Jeopuk-.
I followed a person while looking at his back, and at some point I came into a deserted alley.
“Do you think it would be easier to talk here?”
The person who had been following me the whole time turned around. A young man with black hair with his hair curled up looked at Yuwon.
It was a different face that seemed familiar. When I thought about where I had seen it, one person came to mind.
Hades.
Black hair and dark eyes. It was so dark that I thought it couldn’t be any blacker than this.
However, Yuwon knew that the man in front of him was not Hades’ young enemy.
Hades probably wasn’t even born at this point.
‘Chronos.’
He looked at Yuwon with puzzled eyes.
Again. This feeling.
I know the other person, but the other person does not know me. That strange yet uncomfortable person tormented Yuwon.
But that didn’t mean I couldn’t say anything.
Anyway, what was in front of me right now wasn’t Kronos.
“I have something to ask you.”
“To me?”
“okay.”
“This is my first time seeing you.”
When a stranger approaches, it is natural to be wary. This was especially severe in the case of Kronos.
Yuwon looked at Kronos, who was looking at him in front of him, with curious eyes.
I thought we would never see each other again after I returned using Clockwork, but now I see you like this.
I knew Kronos’ personality well.
Although he was very wary, he was not a foolish person.
So, approach slowly.
If you just break down that boundary, you can receive his help.
“I wanted to ask for directions. “It’s my first time here in Olympus.”
“Why did you do that to me?”
“Kronos, a high ranker from Olympus. You’re famous, right? “I’m your fan.”
Pan.
Kronos was the weakest word.
As he became a high ranker and his stock price was rising, he was shy towards players who recognized him and behaved well to the point where it felt like a fool.
“This guy used to be a complete bully.”
This is what Odin said while pointing at Kronos at a drinking party.
The sight of Kronos’ face hardening at those words was clearly visible.
“stop.”
“As long as I say I’m a fan, I’ll give my liver and gallbladder and be nice to whoever I’m dealing with.”
“You can’t treat someone who likes you badly.”
“It was a complete celebrity disease.”
“celebrity?”
“Where I used to live…”
Perhaps because I remembered the conversation at the time, access wasn’t that difficult.
Sure enough, when it was said that Kronos was a fan, the wary expression disappeared and his original soft face was revealed.
“Is that so?”
Hmm.
Kronos cleared his throat and cleared his voice. Yuwon once again found Kronos in his younger days fascinating.
‘It was real.’
I had seen it a few times in the photos stored in the player kit.
But no matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t believe it, so I thought it might have been faked.
It was natural.
Rankers do not age even with age. It was common sense that was the most basic of basics for the residents and players living in the tower.
But there were exceptions.
Kronos was like that.
‘It’s a skill that ages the more you use it.’
The power he had was time.
Although there were many rankers with skills that transcended common sense, Cronos was the only one with skills related to time.
And the price for that wasn’t just mana.
What is needed to manipulate time is the time allowed to Kronos.
Aging is the condition for Kronos to use his abilities.
“hmm. It’s a road. “Where are you going?”
“Royal castle.”
“Wangseong?”
Kronos tilted his head as if wondering.
The king of Olympus.
It was the place where Kronos himself lived. If you’re a fan, it’s understandable why you’re there, but isn’t that actually right in front of you?
“What’s going on in Wangseong?”
“Because I want to meet the king.”
“King….”
King of Olympus.
Kronos’ eyes narrowed at those words.
“You mean father?”
It was a sensitive reaction.
Kronos’ face became serious as he looked at Yuwon. But it was a different kind of boundary than the first one.
“If you are thinking of naturalizing Olympus, stop. “This isn’t as romantic a place as you think.”
Kronos thought that he wanted Yuwon to join Olympus.
The term ‘fan’ was a starting point to create such misunderstandings, and fortunately, it worked well.
Ever since the word ‘king’ was mentioned, Kronos has been unable to manage his expression. From that reaction, Yuwon was convinced that there was something wrong with Uranus at this point.
“If it’s that kind of business, go back. “Don’t think you’ve done anything in vain, just go check out some good restaurants.”
Kronos shook off Yuwon.
It contained concerns about Yuwon.
It wasn’t a roundabout refusal, but he was genuinely worried that Yuwon would join Olympus.
but.
“I know what you mean.”
I couldn’t back out of here.
The test had begun, and I couldn’t miss Kronos in front of me.
“But we can’t go back like this.”
“Didn’t you hear? What’s happening in Olympus isn’t as simple as you think…”
“If there’s a problem.”
Hwareuk-.
A red pupil appeared in one of Yuwon’s eyes.
Kronos’ words stopped as he faced that.
“I will see with my own eyes what the problem is.”
