Leveling with the Gods

[Level Up with the Gods Episode 101]

* * *

Azathoth laughed a lot for the first time in a long time.

Like a completely different person than just now, who seemed to have no facial expressions.

When the sun sets and not only the alleys but also the streets become dark.

“I’ll go now.”

Nyala, who was playing hide and seek, reappeared and said regretfully.

“Do I have to go?”

“Because my sisters are waiting. “Let’s play again next time.”

The next promise was meaningless.

She lived a life that would not be strange even if she died at any time.

I didn’t know if there would be a next time or not.

but.

“okay.”

Azathoth waved his hand without showing his regret.

“Let’s play again next time.”

Nyala waved and walked away.

Azathoth smiled faintly as he stood there for a moment and watched her disappear into the village alley.

“It was fun.”

His expression brightened.

All day. No, every day was the worst.

Among the worst, there were bound to be people like Nyala.

There was still a reason for this world to remain.

Jeopuk-.

I was walking towards home like that for a while.

“….”

Azathoth turned to look in the direction where Nyala disappeared.

Come to think of it, over there.

“Get out of here, kid.”

This was the direction I met them.

‘no way.’

My skin crawled with ominousness.

The thought of “no way” filled my head.

I closed my eyes.

The whole world went dark.

When I open my eyes again.

He was standing in an alley brightly lit by the moon and stars.

“What’s this?”

“Two fairy tales? Is this really all there is?”

“That stupid bitch. Are you risking your life just to protect this?”

It was the voice of the men and the middle-aged woman I saw earlier.

They were getting irritated as they picked up two coins that had fallen on the floor.

And after that.

I saw a familiar face lying on the floor, bleeding red.

I could see my own face reflected in her eyes.

It was Nyala.

“…Sat….”

Her eyes met for a moment, but she was unable to fully say Azathoth’s name.

The faint light that remained in his eyes went out.

Moment.

Azathoth’s face turned earthy.

“Hey hey.”

“huh?”

“Look over there.”

Azathoth was discovered by men holding a knife with Nyala’s blood on it.

“The kid in the day?”

“what. “Did you bring more money?”

“There was a lot of ash. “Are you from a rich family?”

“The clothes are not perfect.”

They giggled at Azathoth. They

didn’t even pay attention to Nyala’s body lying on the floor. Just a

moment ago, they were saddened by the two coins.

Azathoth’s eyes turned to the coins in the man’s hand. .

That was

all Nyala had.

“I just needed one.”

Blinking.

For a moment, the surroundings blinked as if a light was turning on and off.

“Huh?”

“What happened just now?”

It was outside, not indoors.

It was also an alley where the only light was moonlight and starlight.

But for a moment,

the world blinked.

“The reason not to destroy this dirty world. Not too many, just one…”

Blink blink-.

The light of the world turned on and off repeatedly.

A middle-aged woman raised her head to see what was happening and pointed her finger in shock.

“Everything, everything… the moon….”

“Aaaah!”

“What is that!”

Blink…

An eye appeared on the surface of the moon.

Bloody tears flowed from the moon’s eye, and it blinked several times.

Azathoth did the same.

Bleeding…

Bleeding from his eye.

The small boy slowly I walked towards Nyala’s body.

“Why did you take it away?”

Blink…

The moon blinked again.

I was angry. No, I was always angry. Even

when I woke up this morning in a smelly warehouse. Even when

I got slapped right after I woke up.

Even when I got my money taken away by them. I was always angry.

Still, I thought that just one thing was enough. Even

though it was a world like this.

Still, I just needed one reason to stay.

“I said, ‘Let’s see, let’s see,’ what kind of nonsense did this brat say earlier?”

The moment the man with the sword in his hand was walking towards Azathoth.

Suddenly, Azathoth came within a stone’s throw and placed his palm on his stomach.

“

I don’t need it anymore.”

“…!”

The man’s eyes widened as if torn.

There wasn’t even a scream.

There were no special premonitory symptoms.

But soon.

Shootaaa-.

The man’s body turned into sand and fell to the floor.

“I’m crazy!”

“Kyaaaa-!”

Two companions screamed.

A friend turned into sand.

It was simply an extinction in the realm of the incomprehensible, regardless of whether it was life or death.

What on earth happened right in front of my eyes?

Tadada-.

In fear, the two people started running in different directions.

It’s trying to run away.

but.

“I told you.”

Shootaaa-.

The kid who was looking down at Nyala’s body.

Starting under Azathoth’s feet, the entire world began to turn into sand.

“There is no need.”

Shootaaa-.

The man who was running away and the middle-aged woman who was his colleague.

The man who slapped me in the morning and the people who looked at Azathoth with disgust on the street.

Everything turned into a handful of sand.

That’s how the world came to an end.

* * *

“I will not abandon this world like you did.”

Nyala Totep was clearly mistaken.

A desolate and dry world completely covered in desert.

It is said that Azathoth’s insensitive personality is what caused the world to turn out that way.

but.

“Did you say you wouldn’t neglect this world like I did?”

He was thinking wrong.

“Wrong.”

Azathoth never neglected the world.

Rather, it was the opposite.

“It is I, Nyala, who created the world you hated so much.”

It was Azathoth who made the world like that.

It’s Nyala Totepdo. Yog-Sothoth too. As for Shub Nigguras…

it was a story that only Yuwon knew, and not everyone close to Azathoth knew.

‘That’s why I was afraid.’

Nyala Totep thought she knew everything about Azathoth.

But that’s wrong.

No one knew about Azathoth.

Even Azathoth himself.

‘A person who can destroy the world just by putting his mind to it. A truly immortal being who cannot die even if he wants to.’

Kuuk-.

Yuwon did not want to become that kind of person.

Not even the Cthulhu in front of me or the countless administrators who rule this tower.

It was merely a by-product of a dream Azathoth had during his childhood.

Skaat-.

Yuwon swung his sword.

Managers who appeared before our eyes.

No, he cut down Azathoth’s old nightmares.

Huh-.

The nightmare was cut down as easily as a mirage.

Unlike the managers outside who had physical strength, the nightmares in these dreams were scattered very easily.

– That doesn’t make sense…

Cthulhu kept repeating the same thing.

You’ll want to deny it.

He was the very nightmare of Azathoth, and he could not understand how the nightmares he had had for so long could disappear so easily.

Sigh-.

Dreams are being torn apart.

It didn’t take much effort.

This was the reason Yuwon wanted to come here.

Because the existence of a manager here is just a powerless illusion.

-No way…

I was saying the same thing over and over again.

“Cthulhu.”

Yuwon’s voice was heard nearby.

“Now it’s time to dream.”

Seok-.

Krullu’s eye is cut in half.

Tuk-.

A long dream came to an end like that.

* * *

Chiji Chijiji-!

Thor struggled to control Gungnir, which was going crazy in his hands.

This is the third shot.

Perhaps thanks to borrowing the power of Yggdrasil, I was able to activate Gungnir for the third time in one day.

“Lord Vishnu!”

To increase his chances of hitting, Thor asked Vishnu for help.

Vishnu moves Yggdrasil.

He moved his hands as if he was annoyed and lifted the bound manager up.

Kwarung-!

Gungnir left his hand and flew away with a loud noise.

‘This guy did it again…’

That moment.

Slur-.

Kwaung-!

Gungnir passed by the manager’s seat, which disappeared like a mirage.

“uh?”

“…?”

“…?”

Similar reactions erupted here and there.

He wasn’t the only one who disappeared.

All the managers who were fighting with Zeus, Ananta, and Vishnu

also disappeared as if they had never been there in the first place.

“Did you run away?”

Zeus, not knowing what was going on, dropped his hand along with the spear as if in vain.

And at the same time,

“I’m having a good time, what are you doing?”

Son Goku’s face was swollen.

Although he pretended to be strong, he and Hercules were already exhausted.

And in the meantime,

Pandora was also sitting on the floor with her head down.

“Are you finished?”

“Yes,”

Pandora replied to Hercules’ muttering to himself,

“…It’s over.”

Pandora, whose physical strength had been exhausted to the bottom in the fight with the managers, did not even have the strength to stand.

Both Goku and Hercules reacted in bewilderment at the sudden situation.

Why

on earth did all the managers who were fighting well disappear?

In the hazy fog.

An unusually clear sign of presence was felt.

Pandora, who had been helplessly lowering her head, raised her head and stood up unsteadily.

Whose footsteps were these?

Toward the man vaguely hidden in the fog in the distance.

Pandora ran with all her remaining strength. .

“Yuwon-!”

* * *

After the war with the administrators, Zeus lay down on the hospital bed with bandages wrapped all over his body. His

pride was hurt more than the wounds on his body.

He looked up at the scenery outside the blue window and muttered,

“I have two debts. “It’s my turn…”

Even in the war with Outer. And also in this war with managers.

Not only himself but also this world was saved twice by Kim Yu-won.

Vishnu, who returned to being a deva, had no time to rest properly as he was busy handling the backlog of work.

“Collect all the materials related to Kim Yu-won again.”

“yes? “Where do you get that from?”

“You forgot and threw it all away. Find it yourself.”

“I hope Vishnu has forgotten too…”

In response to Varuna’s tearful face, Vishnu laughed and shook his head.

The world forgot the name Kim Yu-won.

Everything related to him seemed like it was no big deal. He was ignored and discarded.

But now,

the world remembered him again.

And at the same time.

“Hey man! Kim Yu-won-!”

Bang, bang,

bang! Hargan called his name while knocking on the door of Yuwon and Pandora’s house.

If he didn’t open it right away, he was ready to break the door.

Yuwon, who was just preparing a meal, sighed as if he was annoyed and opened the door.

“Why are you doing this?” “Didn’t you tell me?”

“You didn’t remember.”

“You should have said it! My name is Kim Yu-won! Like this! Why can’t you say it!”

“How do you explain it to everyone?”

Tak.

Yuwon put down the food on the table and tried to calm Hargan in his own way.

“Just eat and go.”

“huh?”

The reconciliation was made suddenly.

Yuwon didn’t disappear on purpose in the first place,

so there was no need to fight. While eating with Hargan,

“Me too!”

“I left the tree outside.”

Son Goku, who came to play saying he was bored, and Hercules, who had been cutting wood, came into the house.

Like that again.

Yuwon returned to his original position.

On the noisy and peaceful table.

‘I guess he wanted a world like this.’

Yuwon looked around at the world around him and thought,

‘Boys. And girls too.’

* * *

Kiit-.

The girl drew a picture on the floor with a long, bumpy stone.

The boy looked at the picture the girl drew and asked,

“What is this?”

“The house we will live in together later.”

“house?”

The boy made a puzzled expression.

The picture was too tall to be called a house.

Like a castle or a tower.

What kind of house could this be?

The girl smiled happily.

“Our house will be 100 stories high. On the first floor. “It grows pretty flowers and the second floor is full of sweet snacks…”

The girl explained the house she drew.

Painting was the girl’s desire.

A big, pretty, dream-like house.

The more he listened, the more absurd it became, but the girl’s story made the boy laugh more and more.

“Oh, and again… on the 41st floor…”

“You’re too greedy, Nyala.”

The girl scratched her head at the boy’s words,

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Make it a little smaller.”

“Keu-.”

The girl thought in pain.

The hand holding the stone trembled.

She paused for a moment, then pulled out her hair and screamed.

“Ugh! I can’t do it! I can’t give up!”

“Calm down, Nyala! Oh flea da.”

“Flea? Where?”

The girl, who was startled, made a fuss.

Seeing her, the boy burst out laughing.

As the girl was shaking off the fleas from her head, the boy looked at the picture on the floor.

“Niala.”

“huh?”

“Are you sure you can’t give up?”

“of course!”

At the girl’s brave answer, the boy nodded in understanding.

“You said it was on the 100th floor, right?”

This has already happened, the boy thought.

Although I may be greedy, I hope that

this house, unlike this world, will be filled with only happiness.
