Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 523

* * *

“I won!”

Son Oh Gong’s cry roared through the sky.

The cry was a signal.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“I won! Argh!”

“I’m alive, I’m alive-!”

The joy of winning. The joy of surviving.

Rankers drunk on victory shouted. While the earth was screaming, Son Oh Gong, who was the first to scream, fell backwards.

Flop.

There was no more rush.

With tension, I could not do anything because my whole body was relaxed.

But I feel good, I can’t help but laugh.

“Good work.”

“You’re a good fighter, monkey?”

“You did it, after all.”

Colleagues approached around Son Oh Gong.

Son Oh Gong’s eyes, which had burst into laughter, slowly faded away from his colleagues.

“Are you going?”

Odin nodded at Son Oh Gong’s question.

“It’s almost time is up. As the road disappears, I have no choice but to go back.”

“Well, I’m fine.”

Son Oh Gong was fine, unlike his hazy colleagues.

Son Oh Gong was completely subordinate to the time line here, unlike his colleagues who had been forced to open the door.

Son Oh Gong smacked his lips with disappointment. On the other hand, I was worried.

“What are you going to do about it?”

I won the fight here.But it was different over there.

There was still Yog Sotos, and on the contrary there was no way to move on from this side.

“Mimir said, If we work this out, everything will be better.”

It was incomprehensible.

Together, he studied the clockwork, and since Zeus came into the future, Odin thought the two worlds were completely separated.

But everything will be better when you get back.

“I thought it was a parallel world without connection.… I don’t know if that’s not the case. Or maybe he’s prepared another move, but we’ll find out when we get back.”

Nevertheless, Odin believed Mimir’s words.

Odin and his colleagues’ belief in Mimir was almost absolute. There was nothing wrong with what he had done, and what he was sure to say.

“Yes, if that’s what he said…….”

Son Oh Gong nodded and struggled to raise his upper body.

I couldn’t lie down on my back like this when I saw my colleagues off.

“Good-bye, my friends.”

Shoot.

Colleagues scattered throughout the battlefield disappeared. Son Oh Gong gazed wistfully at the scene of disappearing with a faint swarm of light.

It’s really over now.

Really.

It was when I thought so.

“What about YuWon?”

Throughout the fight, Pandora, looking for someone, approached Son Oh Gong and asked.

“Where did you go?”

Apparently he showed up on this battlefield. Pandora was sure she didn’t see anything in vain.

But YuWon was nowhere to be seen.

“Huh?”

Confused, a silly face that looks like it’s asking what it is.

I used to think that face was funny.

“Who?”

At this moment, Pandora’s expression was just creepy.

Son Oh Gong didn’t remember YuWon.

* * *

The fight is over.

The tower has undergone a period of upheaval for quite some time. Odin’s death and the change of power between the great guilds caused by the war, drove the tower into another kind of chaos.

Fortunately, it was Zeus who came back alive to clean up the mess.

“From now on, Olympus is allied with Asgard.”

Alliance between Asgard and Olympus.

Odin died, but Asgard’s forces remained the same.

And Olympus, and Zeus, joined it.

A force of power that cannot daren’t disobey

Besides, Zeus wasn’t the only one in Olympus.

“There are no disputes to expand the power. Say it, say it.”

Hercules, who is now called a hero throughout the tower, as well as Gigi-Tomakia.

“I think I’m all right.….”

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

Son Oh Gong, who was bored because he had no one to fight with, also became a mercenary of Olympus under Zeus’s temptation.

The presence of a guild with overwhelming power was enough to contain the fight.

As such, Olympus began to act as a deterrent to the tower’s conflict, as did the former Asgard.

That’s how time went by.

Crispy.

Pandora chewed well-baked bread in her mouth under the sunlight.

She stayed in a building owned by Olympus. The spacious mansion, which costs millions of points, has become Pandora’s.

Zeus spared no support to her. Of course, decades later, she still blamed Zeus.

At Pandora’s house, where she was eating bread and stew, Hercules and Son Oh Gong came to play.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s a gift.”

When Son Oh Gong opened the door, he greeted with a wave of arms, and Hercules held out a bundle of presents in his hand.

It’s already been so long.

The two visited her every few years. Every time Hercules visited, she always brought desserts like clothes and her favorite cake as gifts.

I heard you’ve been living as a carpenter lately. Although he earned points, he had no place to use them, and most of the points he earned seemed to be donated or used to give gifts to someone.

“Bring Kim YuWon.”

“……?”

Two people with the same facial expressions.

It was the same reaction this time.

Looking at the two people who did not remember this time, Pandora closed the door.

“Get out if you don’t know.”

Boom!

A nervous gesture caused the door to shut with a loud noise.

Looking at the closed door right under his nose, Hercules murmured awkwardly.

“This is why the door creaks every time.”

Kki-ee-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Then, the door opened again.

Pandora reached out. Her outstretched hand headed for a bundle of gifts from Hercules.

Whoosh, Pandora, who snatched the bundle, closed again.

Boom!

But I guess he wanted to get a present.

Nevertheless, he seemed to be very angry when he didn’t let him in at last.

Given that it hasn’t been solved for decades.

“Who the hell are you looking for?”

“I don’t know.”

Son Oh Gong shrugging at Hercules’s question.

Nevertheless, the two did not bother to find the name ‘Kim YuWon’.

There must be traces of it somewhere.

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

No one tried to recall his name.

* * *

“Fools.”

Pandora bragged and unpacked the gift that Hercules had brought.

Hercules brought several desserts, including cake and chocolate.

Sweet desserts were Pandora’s only hobby of not going out of the mansion. After learning that she has a sweet tooth, the two have always bought these as gifts.

Do the two of them know why they’re coming here?

You probably don’t know. Not even close enough, they kept taking care of themselves even when they were beaten up like this.

There was a reason.

Maybe because of his relationship with YuWon.

In particular, Hercules protected Pandora for YuWon in the war, so it was understandable to take care of himself like this.

From the day Pandora declared that she would marry YuWon, Hercules used to call her a jesus and jokingly.

by the way

“They’re real idiots.

Taking care of yourself like that, you don’t actually remember YuWon’s name.

After those improbable acts, the two finally gave up their thoughts when YuWon’s name came out.

When the name Kim YuWon came out, he went back to the trouble of coming a long way.

Indeed, the word “fool” was just right.

Deeply.

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

“Why don’t you remember?”

Choked up.

My hand stopped at one stroke.

After more than twenty years of waiting, he still hasn’t returned.

“Why… is it gone?”

As she ate the cake, she finally cried.

I didn’t want to cry.

She started putting the cake back in her mouth because she felt like she had to move her hands.

Pandora then went back and forth, just in case.

Kim YuWon.

Even if everyone has forgotten, they will never forget.

And I’ll wait.

I hope that one day the one who opens that door is not Hercules or Son Oh Gong, but the one who’s

I’m sorry.

Stop.

YuWon woke up with disheveled eyes, turning off the loud alarm.

I heard you don’t use your favorite song as an alarm. It’s a cartoon song that I’ve been listening to since a long time ago, but it was too loud to listen to in the morning.

“Ugh.”

YuWon, who woke up with stretching, checked the smartphone in his hand.

[AM – 7:30]

A fairly early morning than usual.

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

You can’t be late from the first day of school. Getting up quickly, YuWon headed to the bathroom attached to the small studio apartment.

Shoot.

After taking a shower with lukewarm water, I came outside, shaking my head with a towel.

It’s not too far to school. Thanks to finding a studio apartment near the school, it was possible to go to school without having to pay for transportation.

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

“YuWon-!”

On the hill leading up to the front gate of the school, there was a voice calling his name from behind.

When I turned my head, Han Hae-eun, a colleague who dyed her hair in a subtle brown color, was running toward YuWon.

“Doesn’t your leg hurt?”

“I called you from afar, and you chewed it!”

Looking at the reaction, it seemed to have been called from quite a distance.

However, it was not worth listening to from afar. I was listening to music with earphones in my ear.

“That song again?”

“Uh.”

“How can you listen to a song like this that doesn’t match what you look like?”

Han Hae-eun took out an earphone from YuWon’s ear and plugged it into her ear.

Chikichikichakka chakka choco choco choco choco choco choco!

If you do something wrong, you’ll–

Just in case.

YuWon was listening to a cartoon song that aired when YuWon and Han Han-eun were babies.

An old cartoon with Son Oh Gong as the main character in the background of ‘Western Organic’.

Han Hae-eun looked at YuWon strangely listening to the comic song even after the start of school.

“Why do I look like that?”

“You look a little bit like a thug. He’s handsome, too.”

“He’s sick and he’s sick and he’s very…….”

“Why do you always listen to this? Is that a concept?

Not once but every day.

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

Some people thought YuWon was weird because of it, but I don’t know.

A handsome man was bound to make friends no matter how unusual. Furthermore, YuWon’s personality was fine, except for listening to unusual songs over and over again.

” Because of Son Oh Gong.”

“What about Son Oh Gong?”

“It’s just, somehow friendly.”

“If that’s the case, then Drax Balldo…”

“It’s a little different, I don’t know.”

YuWon, who answered that way, took Han Hae-eun’s earphone again.

The same song played again in the ear. I’ve heard it tens of thousands of times, but YuWon has heard it over and over again.

Whether you want to talk to Han Haeun next to you or not.

YuWon focused more on the song.

‘ Son OhGong. Son OhGong…….’

Listening to the song, YuWon kept thinking.

Son OhGong.
