Leveling with the Gods

Chapter 624

[Level Up with God Side Story Episode 100]

* * *

Yuwon looked around the space where he was standing due to Cthulhu’s confidence.

All kinds of dreams came to fruition.

All the forms of monsters one could imagine were visible.

Imagination.

That was the essence of the dream.

– No matter how strong you are, no one can defeat your dreams.

A person who dreams great dreams.

That was Cthulhu’s name and his essence.

-The stronger you are, the stronger you are. Because fears and imaginations tend to grow together.

Yuwon nodded at his explanation.

That was correct.

Children’s first nightmares usually feel infinitely trivial and cute.

But naturally, as time passes and the fear disappears.

Ironically, the form of the nightmare grows as the dreamer’s body and mind grow.

just now.

-The forms of fear are generally similar.

Slur-.

In a purple dream.

Formed beings appear one by one.

-Is it different because it’s you?

A green, one-eyed monster with dozens of legs like an octopus wriggles its body.

Beside it, a sphere with hundreds of pupils blinks, and above in the sky, a huge snake flails around, whipping its three heads and tail.

All kinds of strangely shaped monsters were targeting Yuwon.

Looking at them.

Yuwon called out each name one by one.

‘Igg. Juke Shabu. Big….

everyone knows the faces and names.

Even that number was not just one or two.

There were quite a few dozen.

They have one thing in common.

“Administrators.”

They are all acting as administrators in this world.

-Deep dreams are no different from reality.

I saw managers who looked familiar.

These are the guys I met on the way here.

A huge wild boar that looked like the king of the mountains.

A green one-eyed monster with dozens of legs…

it was all a nightmare created by this guy’s dreams.

-This is where it is now. How do you feel? No matter how much you have their name, will you be able to handle it?

Hearing the confident voice, Yuwon looked around at the figures of managers who appeared around him with narrowed eyes.

The dream became a reality.

He brought out things he had seen in his nightmares, and those nightmares created a manager.

No one can overcome a nightmare.

If you can win, it won’t be a nightmare in the first place.

If you think about it that way, ‘Great Dream’ was a name that was closer to perfection than any other name.

but.

-…?

Nothing changed as time passed.

The dozens of managers who appeared around didn’t even move.

-why…?

The reaction was that this couldn’t be happening.

To his dismay, it was Cthulhu who was embarrassed when nothing happened.

-What did you do?

“nothing.”

When you step into this great dream yourself.

Yuwon was confident.

“There is only one way to overcome nightmares.”

Cthulhu.

There was only one way to defeat him, who was a dream itself.

“Realizing that it was a dream.”

Dreams are all reality until you realize them.

But once I realized it, it was just an illusion that I couldn’t grasp like fog.

Cthulhu was like that to Yuwon now.

of course.

– That’s ridiculous!

It was not possible simply because we knew.

Even if I know it’s a dream.

Overcoming the fear of nightmares was impossible in the first place.

-There is no one without fear. Even with the mad courage of risking death, there is bound to be another fear that surpasses it!

“I know you too well to be afraid of something like you.”

Hearing his cries that were almost like a struggle, Yuwon continued speaking as if laughing.

“He had nightmares as a child.”

Parr-.

Moment.

Cthulhu’s widened eyes were seen trembling.

He reacted to the word ‘childhood’.

“It was a scary dream. What did it look like? It looks like an octopus, or a dragon, or a ghost…”

It was a very old memory.

Yoo Won traced the memory and shook his head.

“When he woke up from the nightmare, he found out that it was a monster created in his imagination. “Everyone does that, right? Everyone does it when they’re young.”

Yuwon referred to the memories he had as ‘he’

in order to avoid being assimilated to Azathoth any longer.

“It’s a ridiculous imagination. But do you know what else is there?”

-…What are you saying?

“He was so special.”

Whoa whoa whoa whoa…

The world of Klulu is shaking irregularly.

The space that was said to be a great dream was feeling confused by the story told from Yuwon’s mouth.

“The dream became reality. The nightmare became a monster. Once like that. “The nightmare that was born did not disappear even when the child grew up and was no longer afraid of dreams.”

-No way… No way…

I had been thinking ‘No way’ for a long time.

Amorphous chaos.

One of the names that Azathoth had.

From the moment I saw it with my own eyes, I had a 1 in 10,000 chance that the amusement park in front of me might be Azathoth. I thought I didn’t know.

But I didn’t want to admit it.

No, I couldn’t admit it. That

the person in front of me

was really the great father who created the dream that was me.

– That couldn’t be possible…

“That’s right. That couldn’t be possible. I thought of you. “It’s not him who does it.”

Yuwon also denied Azathoth.

His true name has disappeared.

Once his true name is gone, it never comes back, but he was special. Just

like the phoenix is resurrected.

He will be resurrected someday, somewhere.

Maybe he will become a vessel for that. I don’t know.

But.

“But I know you. And that too well.”

Cthulhu denied Yuwon.

It wasn’t a wrong choice.

In fact, Azathoth’s true name had disappeared and Yuwon’s power was only a fraction of Azathoth’s.

However, what was needed to deal with the great dream was not his power, but his power. It was ‘memory.’

“Do you understand now? It’s Cthulhu.”

Sugaak –

The tip of Yuwon’s sword cuts through the illusion of a great dream.

“To him, you are nothing more than a nightmare from his childhood.”

A child grows into an adult and realizes that he or she was afraid of nothing, and

so was Azathoth:

“All of you.”

Sigh…

Yuwon’s eyes once again scanned the surrounding administrators.

Their names appeared in his mind.

They were all beings that Azathoth had dreamed of as a child.

* * *

As a child,

Azathoth often had nightmares. I had a dream.

The types of monsters that appeared in my

nightmares were diverse. From octopuses to frogs, ghostly boars, and snakes.

That’s what a child’s imagination is

all about. They are afraid of all kinds of animals and things with unclear shapes.

Aja . Toth was like that too.

“Azatoth-!”

It was the same that day.

A shabby warehouse piled with dry straw.

Just like any other day, an adult from the village came to Azathoth, who was sleeping there.

Whoops!

The flying punch didn’t hurt.

No. It did, but

I got used to it. “I told you to clean up the front yard and all the poop before the sun rises,

right ?”

Clap!

This time, I got slapped.

It hurt less. But I felt sad for no reason.

Azathoth bowed his head.

“I’m sorry.”

It was a nonsensical instruction.

A small child.

It was absolutely not an amount of work that the child could have done alone.

But,

“Do everything by midnight and go to the village to buy some wheat and firewood. If you delay, I won’t let you go today.” ”

“Yes, sorry.”

“Ugh tsk.”

A bad guy.

After muttering that, the man immediately turned around and walked away.

A small money bag was placed in front of Azathoth.

He looked back and forth between the back of the man walking away and the money bag on the floor.

“…It hurts.”

Kuk kuk.

It was not my body that hurt, but my heart.

It was not my face that had been punched and slapped, but my chest where my heart was.

Swoosh…

Azathoth blinked his eyes as he put the money bag in his arms.

And at that moment…

thump…

Before he knew it, he had arrived in the middle of the market.

“Ah!”

The man who collided with Azathoth made a noise as if in pain and looked down at Azathoth.

A small child barely around the height of his waist.

“You filthy brat…”

He looked at Azathoth with irritated and disgusted eyes. .

Eventually, people moved away from Azathoth one by one.

The reason was that it was dirty and unlucky.

Meanwhile.

“Are you okay?”

She was a middle-aged woman with a warm appearance.

She asked Azathoth, who bumped into her.

“What were you doing here alone?”

“I came to buy groceries.”

“page?”

“yes. “The owner told me to buy wheat and firewood…”

“I see.”

The woman, who was thinking for a moment, grabbed Azathoth’s hand and said,

“Come this way. I will show you the way.”

Azathoth knew the path.

But she led him in the exact opposite direction of the path Azathoth knew.

A dark alley. To a corner of the village full of shadows.

When he fell among the people like that.

“What are you, kid?”

“Why did you bring this bastard?”

Her group appeared.

Two men with drawn knives.

The two blades instantly created an eerie fear.

“I looked to see if you had some money. You’re not an idiot, are you?”

Azathoth was troubled for a moment by the middle-aged woman’s question.

His expression was fearless.

The men looked displeased at Azathoth’s reaction.

“This bastard is here?”

“You don’t understand what I’m saying?”

“That’s not right. “I just-.”

Sigh-.

Tuk-.

It was then.

Azathoth took out the money bag he had in his arms and placed it on the floor.

“Can I go now?”

“….”

The men who were looking at Azathoth in bewilderment checked their money bags.

Although it is not a large amount, it is not a regrettable amount.

The men nodded and gestured towards Azathoth.

“Get out of here, kid.”

Azathoth nodded and turned around.

A dark alley.

It was a street that I walked a lot before being taken to the owner’s house.

It was around this time that I began to wonder if this place would have been better than a warehouse piled with straw.

“Azathoth!”

A voice calling your name.

For the first time, colors appeared on Azathoth’s face.

“Nyala?”

A dirty look like yourself.

A dark face and messy hair due to not being able to wash.

Nyala, a girl of the same age as Azathoth, ran towards Azathoth and greeted him warmly.

“How did you get here? “Didn’t Ktu go into the old man’s house?”

“I went in. “It just came out for a moment.”

“for a moment? how?”

“errand.”

Nyala was a friend of Azathoth who had grown up together in the alley for a long time.

Probably just one person in this world.

They will be people who are not offended by each other, but rather welcome each other.

“Do I have to go in right away?”

Nyala’s expression became tearful as if she was disappointed.

It’s a shame that a friend I haven’t seen in a long time is leaving right away.

Azathoth looked at her skinnier figure than before and shook his head.

“no it’s okay.”

“really?”

Nyala immediately smiles with joy as if she had never done that before.

She smiled brightly, showing off her teeth where no one knew where they had been hit or lost.

“Let’s play together hehe.”
