Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 523

[Level Up with God Episode 523]

* * *

“I won!”

Son Goku’s shout echoed through the sky.

That cry was a signal.

“Aaaah!”

“I won! “Aaaah!”

“I lived, I lived!”

The joy of winning. The joy of surviving.

The rankers, intoxicated with victory, screamed. While the ground was screaming at the top, Son Goku, who was the first to scream, fell backwards.

Slurp-.

There were no more crowds.

My whole body was so tense and I couldn’t do anything.

Still, I felt good and laughed heartily.

“Good work.”

“You fight well, monkey?”

“I did it in the end.”

Colleagues came around Son Goku.

Son Goku, who was laughing out loud, noticed that the images of his colleagues were slowly fading away.

“Are you going?”

Odin nodded to Goku’s question.

“Time is up. “The road has disappeared so I have no choice but to go back.”

“Tsk. “I’m fine.”

Unlike his colleagues who were fading, Son Goku was fine.

Unlike his colleagues who forced open the door and crossed over, Son Goku was completely subordinate to this timeline.

Son Goku licked his appetite with regret. On the other hand, I was also worried.

“What are you going to do about that?”

The fight here was won, but it was different over there.

Yog-Sothoth still remained there, and on the other hand, there was no way to get over from this side.

“Mimir said so. “If we resolve this, everything will be better.”

It was something I couldn’t understand.

After studying clockwork together and Zeus coming to the future, Odin thought the two worlds were completely separate.

But when I come back, everything will be better.

“I thought it was a parallel, unconnected world… but maybe that’s not true. Or maybe he has another move prepared, I don’t know, but we’ll find out when we go back.”

Nevertheless, Odin believed Mimir’s words.

Odin and his companions’ faith in Mimir was almost absolute. Nothing he had done or said with certainty was wrong.

“okay. “If that guy said that…”

Son Goku nodded and struggled to raise his upper body.

I couldn’t see off my colleagues lying down like this.

“Goodbye, friends.”

Shootaaa-.

Colleagues spread throughout the battlefield disappeared. Son Goku watched with faint eyes as the figure disappeared along with a faint ray of light.

It’s really all over now.

really.

That was when I thought so.

“What about Yuwon?”

Pandora, who had been looking for someone after the fight, approached Son Goku and asked.

“Where did you go?”

Surely he appeared on this battlefield. Pandora was confident that she had not seen anything in vain.

However, Yuwon was nowhere to be seen.

“huh?”

A foolish face as if confused and asking what that is.

I usually thought that face was funny…

“who?”

At this moment, Pandora’s expression felt truly creepy.

Son Goku didn’t remember Yuwon.

* * *

The fight is over.

The tower has been going through a period of upheaval for quite some time. Odin’s death and the change in power among the major guilds due to the war threw the tower into another kind of chaos.

Fortunately, it was Zeus who came back alive and resolved the chaos.

“From now on, Olympus will form an alliance with Asgard.”

Alliance of Asgard and Olympus.

Even though Odin was dead, Asgard’s power still remained.

Olympus and Zeus also joined in.

A force with power that cannot be dared to be opposed.

Moreover, Zeus was not the only one in Olympus.

“Disputes to expand power are prohibited. Say it with words, with words.”

Hercules was now called a hero not only in Gigantomachia but also in the entire Tower.

“I think I’m okay…”

“If you want to fight, I’ll fight you. So please help me.”

Son Goku, who was bored because he had no one to fight with, fell prey to Zeus’s trick and became a mercenary for Olympus.

The presence of a guild with overwhelming power was enough to suppress fighting.

In this way, Olympus began to act as a suppressor to prevent conflict in the tower, just as Asgard did in the past.

Time passed like that.

Crispy-.

Pandora took in the well-baked bread and chewed it in the sunlight.

She stayed in a building owned by Olympus. The spacious mansion worth millions of points became Pandora’s.

Zeus lavished support on her. Of course, as decades passed, she still resented Zeus.

Hercules and Son Goku came to Pandora’s house, where they were eating bread and stew.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s a gift.”

When the door was opened, Son Goku waved both arms and greeted them warmly, and Hercules held out the gift bundle he was holding in his hands.

How many times has this happened already?

The two visited her every few years. Whenever Hercules visited, he always brought gifts of clothing or desserts, such as her favorite cake.

I heard he’s been living as a carpenter recently. Although points were earned, there was no need to spend them, and most of the points earned seemed to be used to donate or give gifts to someone.

“Bring Yuwon Kim.”

“…?”

“…?”

Two people with the same expression.

It was the same reaction this time.

This time, Pandora closed the door as she looked at the two people she couldn’t remember.

“If you don’t know, get out.”

bang-!

With a nervous gesture, the door closed with a loud noise.

Hercules muttered with an embarrassed expression as he looked at the closed door in front of him.

“This is why the door creaks every time.”

Kiyi-.

Then the door opened again.

Pandora stretched out her hand. Her outstretched hand headed toward the bundle of gifts Hercules was carrying.

Pandora snatched up the bundle and closed the door again.

bang-!

Still, it looks like he wanted to receive a gift.

Nevertheless, seeing as they didn’t let him in in the end, it seemed like he was very angry.

This is because it has not been resolved for over several decades.

“Who on earth are you looking for like that?”

“I don’t know.”

Son Goku shrugs his shoulders in response to Hercules’ question.

Nevertheless, the two people did not bother to look for the name ‘Kim Yu-won’.

Even though there are definitely traces of it left somewhere.

Even though he was the one who ended that fight decades ago.

No one tried to recall his name.

* * *

“Fools.”

Pandora huffed and unwrapped the bundle of gifts Hercules brought.

The gifts Hercules brought were cakes, chocolates, and other desserts.

Sweet desserts were Pandora’s only hobby that did not leave the mansion. After finding out that she likes sweets, they always bought these things as gifts.

Do those two know why they come here?

You probably don’t know. Even though they weren’t that close, they continued to take care of him even when they were shut out like this.

There was a reason.

Probably because of my relationship with Yuwon.

In particular, Hercules protected Pandora for Yuwon during that war, so it was understandable that he took care of himself like this.

From the day Pandora declared that she would marry Yuwon, Hercules used to call her Jesu, both seriously and jokingly.

however.

“They are really idiots.

You take care of yourself like that, but you can’t remember Yuwon’s name.

After all these improbable actions, the two people finally gave up on the idea when Yuwon’s name came up.

As soon as the name ‘Kim Yu-won’ came up, I turned back despite all the hard work I had gone through.

The word stupid really suited me.

Deeply…

Pandora scooped up the cake, put it in her mouth, and chewed.

“Why can’t you remember?”

I’m crying-.

My hand stopped after one stroke of the fork.

I waited for over twenty years, but he still hasn’t come back.

“Why… did you disappear?”

She ended up crying while eating the cake.

I tried not to cry.

Feeling like she had to keep her hands still, she started putting the cake in her mouth again.

At the same time, Pandora kept repeating to herself over and over again in preparation for that unexpected moment.

Yuwon Kim.

Even if everyone has forgotten, I will never forget.

And I will wait.

I hope that one day, the person who opens that door and enters is not Hercules or Son Goku, but the person I have been waiting for.

Chikichikichakyakyachocochococho!

Chikichikkichakyakyachocochococho!

Doing something bad

…

Yuwon turned off the loud alarm and woke up with wet eyes.

I heard you don’t use your favorite song as an alarm. Although it is a cartoon song that I have enjoyed listening to for a long time, it was too loud to listen to in the morning.

“Ugh-.”

Yuwon stretched and checked the smartphone in his hand.

[AM – 7:30]

Quite early in the morning than usual.

I wanted to sleep a little more, but I couldn’t.

You can’t be late from the first day of school. Yuwon quickly got up from his seat and headed to the bathroom attached to the small studio.

Shootaaa-.

After taking a shower with lukewarm water, I came out, wiping my hair with a towel.

It wasn’t far to school. Thanks to finding a studio apartment near the school, I was able to go to school without having to pay extra for transportation.

Although the monthly rent was more expensive than other studio apartments.

“Yuwon-!”

He heard a voice calling his name from behind the hill leading to the school’s main gate.

When I turned my head, I saw Handa Eun, a classmate with hair dyed a soft brown, running towards Yuwon.

“Doesn’t your leg hurt?”

“I called you from far away, but you chewed it!”

Judging from the reaction, it seemed like the call came from quite far away.

However, it was hard to hear the song being sung from far away. I was listening to the song with earphones in my ears.

“Is it that song again?”

“uh.”

“What kind of song do you listen to that doesn’t suit your appearance?”

Handa Eun took one of the earphones out of Yuwon’s ear and put it in her own ear.

Chikichikkichakyakyachocochococho!

Chikichikkichakyakyachocochococho!

If you do something bad, it

will happen anyway.

Yoo Won was listening to a song from a cartoon that aired a long time ago when Yoo Won and Han Eun were babies.

An old cartoon with Son Goku as the main character, set in ‘Journey to the West’.

Handa Eun looked strangely at Yuwon, who was still listening to the cartoon song even after the semester started.

“Why did I come into existence?”

“It looks a bit like a gangster. “He was also handsome.”

“Give me a bottle, give me medicine, a lot…”

“Why do I always listen to this? “Is it a concept?”

Not once in a while, but every day.

Yuwon listened to the same song over and over again. A cartoon song that doesn’t even fit any generation.

There were some people who looked at Yuwon strangely because of that, but I don’t know.

A good-looking person, no matter how unique, was bound to have friends. Moreover, except for listening to unusual songs repeatedly, Yuwon had a good personality with no special flaws.

“Because of Son Goku.”

“Why Son Goku?”

“It’s just that it’s somehow friendly.”

“If that’s the case, Drax Ball would also-.”

“Well, that’s a little different.”

After answering like that, Yoo Won snatched the earphones from Han Eun’s ears again.

The same song played in my ears again. It was a song he had heard tens of thousands of times, but Yuwon listened to it over and over again.

Regardless of whether Hana Eun next to me says something or not.

Yuwon focused more on singing.

‘Son Goku.Son Goku….’

Yuwon kept thinking while listening to the song.

Son Ogong.

It was clearly just a character that appeared only in comics and in the myth called Journey to the West.

Nevertheless, why?

Yuwon’s name did not feel like a fictional character appearing in myths or comics.

‘…I know it’s strange.’

Nevertheless, at some point, Yuwon started listening to this song obsessively.

I felt like I would remember something if I kept listening to this song.
