ââ¦.â
ââ¦.â
Damdeok and Ju Ju-yul stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.
It was Damdeok who spoke first.
âA forgotten god called Grandmother of the Underworldâ¦. She was stronger than I thought. Did you know? âYou have precognitive abilities.â
Ju Soo-yul thought about his answer for a moment.
There is no such thing as a weak god with the word âunderworldâ attached to it, but the underworld grandmotherâs particularly strong power has been passed down like a legend.
âAccording to rumors, they eat not only humans but also the Jade Emperorâs young godsâ¦â
The Jade Emperorâs young gods are called immortals in Taoist thought, but if we quantify their strength using the system of godsâ¦
â About mid-level god.â
So, it means that mid-level gods like Damdeok and himself are nothing more than a meal to the grandmother of the underworld.
âWhy arenât you saying anything? After all⦠the god of the underworld grandmother is really strong, right?â
Damdeok asked again.
Jooyul bit his lower lip.
I was reluctant to tell the truth because it seemed like it would break Damdeokâs spirit too much.
Still, what can you do?
Anyway, Damdeok will have to settle the matter with Asmodeus someday.
Asmodeus was a being two times, no, three or four times stronger than the grandmother of the underworld.
Ju Soo-yul took a short breath and then spoke.
âokay. âAlthough not as strong as Asmodeus, Grandmother of the Underworld is the god with the highest level of power among Korean gods.â
Moreover, judging from the energy I felt at that time, it seemed like the old woman from the underworld had already become strong enough by using the gate.
âIs that really the caseâ¦.â
Damdeok muttered as if he was anxious.
Although he didnât say that in detail, Ju Ju-yul knew very well what Damdeokâs shadowy face meant.
âokay. It must be a bit daunting right now.â
As Ju Ju-yul, who had encountered the grandmother of the underworld several times before, he could understand how Dam-deok was feeling right now.
âI wouldnât have been able to move because I was so scared, and even if I could move, there wouldnât have been anything I could do.â
It is known that a living being who looks into the eyes of a grandmother from the underworld suffocates with extreme fear.
I donât know, but I must have been quite embarrassed because I felt fear for the first time in my life.
âBut the reality has already hit us hard.â
It was a bit early to fight the grandmother of the underworld, but I couldnât help it.
âSince it has appeared, I have no choice but to deal with it.â
Ju Soo-yul looked at Damdeok sitting on the bed with a serious expression.
âNo need to worry. Because there is a strategy. In the fight against the grandmother of the underworld, the difference between winning and losing depends on how you overcome the fear in front of you. So, there is a simpler solution than you might thinkâ¦â
It was at that time that Joo-yul was trying to tell me about his next part-time job.
Completely unexpected words came out of Damdeokâs mouth while he was muttering.
âAsmodeus is stronger than the underworld grandmother who destroys the system⦠How did the gods come to be?â¦â
Damdeokâs eyes were downcast.
A look of embarrassment was evident on Ju Soo-yulâs face as he looked at that scene.
âWait a minute, who broke something?â
Damdeok slowly looked up at Jusoyul.
ââ¦Oh, didnât I tell you? The grandmother of the underworld broke my part-time job window. âI completely destroyed it with my dry hands.â
Damdeok reenacted the performance, even making vivid hand gestures.
Ju Soo-yul slowly shook his head without realizing it.
âIt doesnât make sense to destroy the system⦠It canât be possibleâ¦â
What kind of thing is the system?
Isnât it a system with a very noble and complex mechanism that the Mother of the Beginning created to create a field of communication and harmony for all living things, including gods and humans?
You can break it?
The 1869 reincarnations were an absolute nonsense that had never been seen or heard of for 93,450 years.
âIt would be more credible to say that the sun rose in the west.â
However, compared to this confident woman, Damdeok was casually muttering about destroying the system.
âThat old lady said she was a Korean god, so I guess sheâs from Hwarangdo or something like that. Are you a Taekwondo graduate? âHa, it didnât even look that fast.â
As Damdeok said that, a part-time job window appeared in front of him.
It was a system that was only visible to the person involved, so it was not visible to Joo Joo-yul, but looking at the frowning face staring into space, it seemed like there was definitely a problem with the system.
But even so, Ju Ju-yul could not readily believe Damdeokâs words.
âIt makes no sense to destroy the system. Iâve never done anything like that beforeâ¦â
Damdeok shook the whale as if he was frustrated.
âOf course, you donât know because you havenât seen the system broken. What is that way of talking? âYou talk as if youâre doing it alone for the second time in your life.â
ââ¦.â
Jooyul cleared his throat a couple of times to keep his composure.
âgood. âYou have no reason to lie to me.â
Rather than arguing about something that cannot be immediately confirmed, it was more important to find a way to move forward from here.
âI donât even want to reach Asmodeus yet. If you want to beat the old woman of the underworldâ¦.â
Of course, I had to go to a part-time job.
Godâs part-time job.
ââ¦Ah, the system is broken, how can I get a part-time job?â
Damdeok blinked his eyes at Jusoyulâs question.
ââ¦Is that what I wanted to ask?â
Ju Ju-yul shook his head vigorously at Damdeokâs words.
âCome to your senses!â
When unexpected events occur, the plan begins to go wrong.
âWe have to fix the system first.â
If Damdeokâs system is not corrected, his future great work will be in vain.
âRepair⦠If you want to entrust the repair, of courseâ¦â
Jooyul quickly opened his part-time job window.
I donât know how to fix a broken system, but if I were to be the leader in this field, wouldnât
, the blacksmith god of Olympus, be perfect?
âHephaestus will definitely return it to its original state somehow.â
Jooyul nodded and found a part-time job to go to his blacksmith shop.
However,
[(Hephaestusâ Blacksmith)] All part-time jobs for making gold ingots are canceled this week! I got an urgent business trip!]
âUrgent business trip? âAt a time like thisâ¦â
It was a disaster.
Hephaestus was the only god with good skills and close relationshipsâ¦
Joo Ju-yul looked into space and bit his lip.
Damdeokâs face, looking at that scene, also became anxious.
âThat guy usually doesnât get embarrassedâ¦â
Isnât he a person who always maintains a chic look?
Sometimes humanity radiates at strange points, but that was only occasionally.
âThis is the first time Iâve been in such a hurry since I met a guy named Asmodeus in the demon worldâ¦â
It was definitely from when I said earlier that the system was broken.
From then on, Jo Soo-yulâs mentality was visibly shaken.
âOf course, I was shocked that the grandmother of the underworld destroyed the system, butâ¦â
Still, is this really this surprising given that a war between the gods may occur in the future and the human world may be destroyed?
âAs if something happened that should never have happened.â
Damdeok looked at Jusoyul quietly.
Her hands were busy moving in the air.
It seemed like they were having a hard time finding a suitable scene.
âDamdeok. âAre you okay?â
I heard my mother Jo Yoon-heeâs voice from outside the door.
He probably informed his companions that he had woken up as they left.
âDamdeok, mom, are you going in?â
Squeak â
As the door slowly opens, Soo-yulâs eyes, who were searching through the part-time job window, sparkle! It shone.
âfound.â
Shuaa â
A bright light enveloped the room.
When my mother, Jo Yoon-hee, entered the room carrying a tray of sliced fruit, she said,
âOh my?â
The two people were already gone.
Only the faint light fell on the bed like sunlight.
* * *
Geumbaeksan (éç½å±±).
The base of the sacred ridge where the primordial god resides.
Damdeok and his companions were sitting awkwardly in a magnificent pavilion built from east to west, south to south, with giant nutmeg trees as pillars and jujube trees for rafters.
ââ¦Wow, a visual that looks like something out of a history book.â
âIt looks a lot like the forest of Atlaum?â
White Cloud and Adele Sharon looked around and said that.
To the east of the open pavilion, there was a colorful flower field, to the west was a withering flower field, and to the south and north there was a mixture of fiery flower fields and ice-cold flower fields.
Damdeok looked at the scene and quietly asked Ju Soo-yul, who was sitting next to him.
âCan the Real Samsin Halmi fix the broken system?â
ââ¦I donât know. âBut isnât there a way, so you personally asked me to come here?â
Jo Soo-yul said that while recalling an incident from a while ago.
[If you help me organize the flower garden, I will at least help you repair the broken narinchang.]
It was a simple message.
Immediately, Samsin Halmiâs customized announcement came to mind, and I had just learned from the ownerâs words that Narinchang means a window from heaven in pure Korean, or the system of the gods.
âHow did Grandmother Samsin know that my system was broken? âNo one can see this, right?â
Damdeok said, waving his hand in the air.
ââ¦Well, Samsin Halmi is the god who governs life. In Korea, she is known only as a god who predicts babies, but in fact, in a broader sense, it can be said to be a similar concept to the goddess of the beginning. Since he is the highest god, there must have been some way to know.â
It was when Damdeok was nodding his head at Ju Soo-yulâs words.
[What are you doing? If you come, quickly roll up your sleeves and donât help out.] I donât
know when she appeared, but an old woman with a warm expression was standing in the middle of the pavilion, looking at Damdeok and the others.
âUgh! Itâs a surprise!â
âWow! âI was really surprised!â
Baekgureum and Adele Sharon were startled and took a step back.
Grandmother Samsin looked at Baek Cloud and Adele Sharon alternately as if she thought they were just cute.
[Hmm, one of them is not the child I took care of⦠Still, the Samshin of that world has made it quite a bitch.] The
Samshin grandmother looked at Adele Sharon and smiled happily.
âHa⦠Haha⦠Thank youâ¦?â
Adele Sharon smiled awkwardly and remained alert.
[As the old saying goes, if you donât work, you shouldnât eat either. What are you doing, you guys, if you donât roll up your sleeves?]
Damdeok and his party suddenly got up and rolled up their sleeves at Samsin Halmiâs gentle shout.
âPlease follow me.â
Following the guidance of the young child, the group went to the flower field.
âThis is the eastern flower garden of Grandmother Samsin, the flower garden of babies welcoming new lives.â
Everyoneâs eyes widened at Dongja Shinâs explanation.
âWow⦠there are so many flowersâ¦?â
âThere are so many different colors. âDoesnât it look like the color of a flask in a magic lab?â
âHyung, look at this! These flowers come in a variety of pastel colors. Sniff! Wow sweet smell! âIt smells really good!â
âIt looks like sweet paints were released.â
Dongjashin smiled brightly as he watched Damdeok and his party looking around the flower field as if they were seeing it for the first time.
âYour job today is to water this flower garden. âItâs easy, right?â
Damdeok and his companions nodded vigorously.
In fact, Ju Ju-yul and Dam-deok were there to fix the system, while Baek Gu-reum and Adele Sharon were just forced to finish their part-time jobs quickly.
âBut a healing experience like this would be a thousand times welcome!â
Baekgureum said, clenching his fists, and Adele Sharon also looked quite happy.
âYou evil business owner. âFor today, I will think of you as a good boss.â
âKuk, I didnât know something like this existed, but itâs okay.â
Damdeok was also giggling as he looked at the flower garden, and even Jooyul, who kept a straight face the whole time, had a calm smile on his face.
The flower field to the east of Samsin Halmi was a place where you could feel a strange ecstasy just by standing there.
âletâs go!â
âGive me all the water!â
âGo go!â
To the group who were very excited, Dongja Shin grinned and added words.
âYou can get water for the flower garden from there.â
Everyone smiled and shifted their gaze, following the finger of the child god.
I had to tilt my head back all the way to see a huge willow tree on top of a cliff so tall and large that I could see the end.
âhmmâ¦?â
âNo wayâ¦â
âAhâ¦â
However, contrary to everyoneâs wishes, the faint sound of waves lapping was coming from the willow tree in the distance.
The expressions of the companions suddenly darkened and Damdeok muttered quietly.
ââ¦The guy who just said it was a healing experience, come out.â
