Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 524
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 524]
* * *
When it was time for class, Yuwon took off the earphones he was wearing and put them in his pocket.
Class was boring.
More than half of the students were unable to hold back their drowsiness and lowered their heads, saying that if you want to treat insomnia, go to school instead of the hospital.
Nevertheless, Yuwon listened to the professor.
“Eh, so the encounter between humanities and economics is something we can commonly see in our society…”
Humanities.
It was a department that matched the grades of the school that matched the grades.
However, Yuwon focused more on class than ever before. “The logo of
the
famous sportswear brand Nai
“Nike has no wings.”
“huh?”
Handa Eun, who was dozing next to her, asked in surprise at the muttering that came out of her mouth inadvertently.
Yuwon, surprised, shook his head. Seeing Yoo Won concentrating in class, pretending not to notice, Han Eun began to doze off again.
Although he pretended to concentrate, Yuwon was confused.
‘Again.’
Nike, goddess of victory.
Obviously he didn’t know her. There is no way we could know the existence of God in the first place.
Nevertheless, Yuwon thought.
Nike has no wings.
It was a certainty, not a question mark.
The problem is that I don’t know where this confidence came from.
‘Not once or twice.’
Every time I hear a story about mythology, it’s always like this.
This strange feeling of déjà vu has continued since I was young.
Druk-.
Yuwon got up from his seat.
I put my earphones back in my ears and went outside.
Handa Eun, who had been dozing off during class, followed Yoo Won out with her bag and asked.
“What is it?”
“uh.”
“For what reason?”
He was an amusement park student who never missed class. However, I couldn’t help but wonder when he suddenly abandoned class and left.
“I just feel like it.”
“What kind of puberty?”
“Stop talking nonsense and go get some sleep.”
Grumble-.
Yuwon opened the back door of the classroom and came out.
I came down the hill from the school and started walking along the main street. The feeling of déjà vu became worse as time passed.
Ki-.
A bus stopped next to Yuwon.
I saw posters posted on buses with people getting on and off.
A movie featuring Thor, the prince of Asgard, as the main character.
‘Ragnarok.’
It was a movie I had already seen. From the time it was first released, Yuwon headed to the movie theater as if he was possessed by something.
I felt like I would remember something again when I saw it.
‘It was no problem.’
Rather than remembering it, the feeling of déjà vu only grew stronger.
throughout the movie.
This was all Yuwon’s thoughts were.
‘Ragnarok is not like that.’
It felt as if I had experienced Ragnarok.
Although it was ridiculous.
“Should I really meet a shaman somewhere….”
* * *
Drurr-.
The door closed and Yuwon came out.
Perhaps because it was in the mountains, I could hear the birds singing exceptionally well. An urgent voice came from inside.
“Manshin! “Manshin!”
“Why did I suddenly faint….”
“I don’t know. You were cheerful until morning…”
Yuwon’s heart became anxious at the conversation he heard inside.
Let’s run away.
Yu-won, who hurriedly ran down the mountain, looked up at the path he had run down, breathing heavily.
He went to see the fortune teller, wondering if he might remember his past life, but the shaman who made eye contact with him suddenly foamed at the mouth and fainted.
“What happened?”
It was getting late, perhaps because we had traveled quite far to find a brave shaman.
Yuwon hurriedly got on the bus and by the time he arrived home, it was already completely dark.
Slurp-.
“under-.”
I threw my bag in a corner and laid down on the small bed without even taking off my socks.
I kept feeling strange.
As time goes by, the more familiar names I hear.
This feeling of déjà vu became more and more intense.
Glancing-.
Yuwon’s eyes turned to the nightstand.
One small box.
It was the first thing I saw every time I came home.
When was it?
It was a gift given to me by a woman I met on the street a few years ago.
She was a beauty that made your eyes widen. So much so that even most celebrities look like squids or frogs compared to her.
“You must never open it.”
They say it’s a gift but don’t open it.
“I’m also curious.”
What on earth is inside there that makes me want to never open it?
If she wasn’t his ideal type, he probably would have thrown it away right away or opened it despite the warning.
But despite this, I didn’t give up on it for several years and endured it until now.
-It was because I fell in love at first sight.
Glancing-.
Yuwon’s gaze continued to turn to the box.
‘I’m curious.’
A box that must not be opened.
What did they say about this?
“Is it Pandora’s box?”
One side of Yuwon’s heart felt bitter as he muttered that.
I just couldn’t bear it.
Rattling-.
Yuwon reached out and picked up the box and opened it.
Despite the time spent waiting and worrying, the box was easily opened.
It’s so futile.
“what.”
And as easy as it was to open, the contents inside were also empty.
“…There’s nothing.”
There was nothing in the box.
Hollow-.
Yuwon checked the inside of the box and dropped it on the floor.
I sighed.
Cold water was poured on the foamy, fluffy emotions I felt when I received the box from her a few years ago.
‘Was it just throwing away trash?’
I had high hopes for nothing.
Yuwon lay blankly for a moment, looking up at the ceiling.
As time passed, I felt more and more strange.
My eyes kept falling on the box I dropped on the floor.
Glancing-.
I confirmed with my own eyes that there was absolutely nothing.
“What am I doing…”
Yuwon picked up the box again and checked its contents.
No matter how I looked at it, it was an empty box. Even when I turned it upside down, not a speck of dust came out.
Still, Yuwon felt like he wouldn’t be able to shake off this uncomfortable feeling unless he checked further, so he brought his eyes closer to the box and checked it clearly.
“As expected, there is none…”
Yuwon’s muttering stopped.
I saw something blurry on the bottom of the box.
The more I focused on it, the clearer it became.
Orange hair and beautiful features.
It was she who gave me this box in the middle of the street.
She was wearing a red dress and had a cake in her mouth.
With tears streaming down her face, she continued muttering someone’s name.
“Yuwon Kim Yuwon. Kim…”
Her voice came from inside the box. The name she muttered was her own.
And the moment you hear that voice.
“…ah.”
Yuwon realized the identity of the déjà vu he had been feeling.
I haven’t forgotten it yet.
“Kim Yu-won….”
The person who handed me this box.
Kim Yu-won.
* * *
Knock-.
Someone knocked on Pandora’s mansion.
Pandora, who was sitting at the table muttering the same name, hurried out.
It was to check who it was that knocked on the door.
“Uwah…”
“Are you Pandora?”
“….”
It was a greasy-looking man with bronze skin.
Holding the bouquet in his hand, he got down on one knee and extended his other hand to her.
“I, Varuna, a high ranker of Daeva, formally associate with you…”
A shadow soon covered his face.
Buuung-.
Yep-!
Varuna became a star and flew into the sky.
It wasn’t worth listening to any more. Pandora threw a punch in one go and shook off her hand and closed the door.
It happened often.
After hearing that the most beautiful woman in the tower lives in a remote mansion, they come to woo her.
And then again.
It was the same again and again.
Every time, Pandora would swing her fist and blow away the uninvited guests.
“It would be nice not to know who it is.”
At least there are only two who stop at the doorstep.
Sigh-.
It was like Son Goku or Hercules who always came with a cake in his hand.
“There are people who wait like this.”
“…?”
Pandora made a puzzled expression.
Hercules asked as she looked at her wide-eyed expression.
“why?”
“Do you think I’m waiting?”
“Then it wasn’t?”
It was true.
However, I was just curious because Hercules had never mentioned this before.
“I heard Varuna was flying just now. “Even though his personality is a bit off, he’s handsome and popular.”
Hercules asked with a grin.
His expression was filled with mischief.
“Do you like that guy who’s waiting a lot?”
“huh.”
Pandora nodded and answered.
“I’m going to get married.”
“I’m going to get married.
A scene overlapped in Hercules’ mind.
For some reason, these words from Pandora did not feel like the first time.
Hercules, who had been standing there blankly for a while, came to his senses when he heard Pandora’s voice.
“why?”
“Oh no.”
Hercules shook his head.
“It is nothing.”
“…okay?”
Pandora, who had been secretly expecting something, sighed.
I thought this time would be a little different. In the end, it was the same reaction.
Hercules talked for a while in front of the door and then went back. Pandora watched him walk away for a moment and then turned around.
Kiyi-.
The door closed slowly.
thud-.
No one on Pandora has ever let anyone inside this door in decades.
She prayed that the first person to cross this door would be the one she had been waiting for.
The moment Pandora, who had just entered the mansion with her back to the door, raised her fork to eat the cake she had received as a gift.
smart-.
Someone knocked on the door again.
Hercules has just returned. If it were Son Goku, he would have already made a loud noise instead of quietly knocking.
An unwelcome knock.
However, I couldn’t ignore it.
“Si-.”
It was a moment when I felt a little better thinking about eating the cake that Hercules brought for the first time in a long time.
Feeling that her time had been interrupted, she walked away at a brisk pace, holding a fork in one hand.
Pandora made a promise.
This time, instead of blowing it away, I’ll stab it with a fork.
Just like that, Pandora nervously stretched out her hand and opened the door.
Rattling-.
“Who else-.”
This time, Pandora’s eyes widened as she checked the visitor’s face, asking what kind of person it was.
Under the bright sunlight.
Yuwon looked down at Pandora.
“Looking at the reaction, it looks like a lot of people came.”
Even though he was so upset, he looked no different than usual.
Even though she was waiting like that, when this situation came up, Pandora didn’t know what to say or react, so she froze on the spot.
There were many things I wanted to ask.
Where did you go?
Why are you here now?
Why didn’t everyone remember you?
There were so many questions that nothing came out.
A moment of awkward silence.
“I think I may be asking something obvious…”
Yuwon opened his mouth awkwardly, worried about what might happen.
“My name….”
Do you remember?
The moment I was about to ask that.
Whisper-.
Pandora rushed up and hugged his neck.
“policy-!”
It was as if he had already heard all the questions.
Screaming his name at the top of my voice.

-I had a strange dream.
Yuwon spoke about the dream slowly.
He was a student there.
In that world, Son Goku was considered a mythical god called Journey to the West, and a cartoon was created with him as the main character.
Chiki Chaka Choco Choco The funny and fun song was still ringing in my ears.
If you think about it, Son Goku was particularly popular in that world.
I don’t know how many types of comics there were with that guy’s name as the main character.
Son Goku’s shoulders rose as he listened to the story. He looked at Hercules and shrugged his shoulders as if to say something.
Comics set in Olympus have been published in dozens of comic books. The comic book ‘Olympus Myths’, which came out in over 10 volumes, was a best-selling work with a total of over 10 million copies sold.
At this point, Hercules was a little disappointed and asked why he was not the main character.
The movie featuring Thor as the main character created a global craze. The actor who played the role won an award as the best action actor at a film festival the following year.
Unfortunately, the main character was not Odin.
In addition, in Yuwon’s dream world, stories of countless guilds spread everywhere and were incorporated into people’s lives.
So, even Pandora and Hercules Goku.
When Yuwon told the dream at a gathering of four people, Son Goku was the first to giggle and say.
Where on earth is such a world?
