NOVEL NEXT chapter 18
18. Guys, I’m here.
***
As I was immersed in memories with Azel and Jenna, another screen appeared in front of my eyes.
[A special event prepared for the highest tier sponsor ‘Pogyu Soft Haejoa’]
[Benon God’s 1:1 care service]
“What is this?”
Within.
Tuk─
The feel of a soft cushion against your buttocks.
It fell naturally onto the dazzling chair.
Priests wearing flashy costumes appear before your eyes.
“Uh…”
“The highest tier sponsor has arrived.”
“All priests, show reverence.”
As I looked around blankly, the priests all kneeled down.
Among them, the priest in the front row read something written on a piece of paper as if he were chanting (?).
“Benon God Calendar 310 Sponsored by Fogyu The Lord came down from heaven to bring benefit to the world. Benon God was also amazed and came in person… ….”
Wait, stop.
I want to shout, but I can’t find the timing.
I feel like my ptsd is getting worse during the holidays. My grandfather was very strict, so we used to hold ancestral rites in FM….
The atmosphere is so solemn that it cannot be compared to that time.
I listened for about 5 minutes. When I started to feel sleepy.
“…… “Compensation for Gespreinnat from the Minister of Benon.”
The chanting has finally come to an end.
At the same time, a hologram screen appeared in front of my eyes.
[Benon God]
TOP TIER sponsor ‘Pogyu Soft Haejoa’. Hello, this is Benon God from Benon World.
I usually just call Benongat like ‘this bastard, that bastard’-
In this kind of atmosphere, I tend to show minimal courtesy without even realizing it.
“Yes, nice to meet you. Huh.”
[Benon God]
Thanks to our top tier sponsor, Pogyu Soft Haejoa, our world has become prosperous. We would like to express our sincere gratitude.
… Are you going to come out like this?
Honestly, I thought to myself a thousand times, ‘If I ever meet this bastard in real life, I’m going to swear in his face.’
You suddenly come out with such courtesy that you can’t even swear. In fact, it makes me even more angry.
I sent a whopping 5,700 characters via message…. In fact, this is my first time having a real 1:1 conversation.
When I think about it, I’m not even a developer.
Hey, you’re really a ‘God’, right?
I felt awkward for no reason, so I nodded and Benongat continued.
[Benon God]
Of course, to my soft-spoken son….
“Wait a minute. Time.”
But why do you keep calling me by my nickname?
“Just that…” Heavenly luck. “Please call me Cheonun.”
No matter how much he is a god, it is a bit embarrassing to keep calling him that nickname.
[Benon God]
I understand, Cheonun.
Anyway, Cheonwoon will also have the ‘patron unique abilities’ that other sponsors have. Sponsors will enter the academy with their favorite character. The sponsor’s role at the Academy will be explained in detail by Benon Academy faculty.
It’s a lot different than I expected….
Roughly speaking, this means that I am not an academy student, but rather a separate concept of ‘patron’ entering the academy.
Here, the role that the ‘patron’ must play at the Academy is to go and become an actor.
No matter what, it doesn’t matter that I’m entering school with my daughters.
“I understand.”
After answering calmly, Benongat was the first to say something unexpected.
[Benon God]
I’m just telling you this just in case, but you don’t have to worry about your family. [AI Sponsor] Created through AI learning specifically for Cheonun, AI that analyzed Cheonun’s behavior patterns will live in reality on behalf of Cheonun.
“My behavior pattern….”
How do I analyze it? -I was going to argue.
When I thought about it, it was obvious.
Anyway, since I’m independent and living on my own, I just go to work in the morning, say ‘yes, yes’ to what my father says, and then come back and spend time in front of the computer.
“Ah…”
Your parents will never notice.
Ironically, I felt reassured.
When I think about never seeing my father and mother again, I get emotional, but-
But at least mother and father will not be drowned in sorrow over losing their son.
That’s enough.
When I thought about my parents, I got a little emotional.
I asked in a slightly questioning tone.
“So do I have to live here forever? They called me to another world like this-“
[Benon God]
That’s not true. There is a system called ‘Ascension’ that allows sponsors to return to Earth.
‘We can go back to Earth’, you say?
“How do you do that ascension?”
[Benon God]
Since you are the one asking the question, I will explain briefly.
[Benon God]
If the sponsor raises his/her favorite character ‘well’, he or she can obtain goods (jewels). You can collect goods and purchase [Ascension Ticket] In the [Sponsor] App!
The conditions themselves will not be difficult.
“What will happen to my daughters if I ascend to heaven?”
Benon God said, ‘The sponsor is returning to Earth.’
Contracts should always be read carefully.
It is not specified that I am going ‘with’ my daughters.
I asked about that in detail.
[Benon God]
If you want to be with your favorite characters, you have to stay in this world.
To return to Earth, I have to do something called ‘ascension’, and when I ascend to heaven, I have to say goodbye to my daughters.
On the other hand, it is a story about not being able to return to Earth if you want to remain with your daughters.
So give up one of the two, this is it.
[Benon God]
hahahaha, isn’t that mutual aid? Cheonun will be able to be with his favorite characters, and we will also be able to receive help from our sponsor, Cheonun.
Ha.
He’s finally showing his true colors.
Up until now, I’ve been explaining things in a hard tone, but I’m also annoyed that he only says ‘hahahaha’ at this part.
No, actually, thank you.
You are finally giving me something to criticize.
“You have the power to bring me here, but you can’t let me go back to Earth with my daughters?”
[Benon God]
I’m not saying it’s absolutely impossible, but I’m not in a position where I can exercise my power just because the sponsor wants me to….
I think it would be possible if there was something suitable for it. If you don’t mind telling this story, would you mind doing it later?
Benon God said as if it was a bit awkward to talk about it now. Moreover, she said that there was something going on.
Of course, that didn’t mean he could calm his expression.
How much money did I put in?
As soon as I had a serious expression on my face, Benongat quickly launched a hologram.
[Benon God]
Instead, Cheonwoon will receive special benefits befitting a TOP TIER sponsor.
I guess I can talk about it now. I asked, keeping a straight face.
“What kind is it?”
[Benon God]
Patrons can grow their ‘Patron Buff’ through goods….
There is no magical power or divine power. In other words, the body cannot grow.
You should only rely on your favorite characters.
But, Cheonwoon is the TOP TIER!
“That’s right…”
[Benon God]
Cheonwoon can grow. How do you feel? Are you okay with this? I will be able to maintain this ability even if I return to Earth later.
For now, I nodded.
[Benon God]
Also, we will always consider Cheonwoon’s convenience as our top priority. If you have any inconvenience at any time, you can contact us through the [Sponsor] App or talk to the minister in front of you.
“Okay for now.”
Unlike other sponsors, I can grow.
Of course, I don’t know what ‘growth’ is and how this worldview works, so I’ll have to look into it carefully….
But since it is a top tier sponsor’s perk, it is definitely not a bad thing.
[Benon God]
Do you have any other questions?
“If I have any questions later, I’ll ask separately.”
[Benon God]
Please feel free to contact us at any time! Lol
I hope my explanation satisfies TOP TIER sponsor Chunwoon.
Benon God said as if finishing his sentence.
Honestly, there are parts like ascension that bother me.
Still, from what you’ve said, it doesn’t seem like there’s no way at all.
More than anything, the person called the ‘god’ of a world appears in a low-key manner, so I don’t want to argue further with him.
“Okay. So what should I do now?”
I want to meet Jenna and Azel as soon as possible.
[Benon God]
Could you please wait a moment? hahahaha, we will soon send Cheonwoon to Benon Academy Stadium, where the entrance ceremony is being held. Lol
Benongat, who kept writing ‘hahahaha’, soon made a huge cooing sound.
The turbulent surroundings.
[Message from Benongat]
— Hear, priests.
“”Yes!””
[Message from Benongat]
— Open the [Benon Gatpyo Divine Portal] To bring the heavenly benefactor to the entrance ceremony.
“”Yes!””
Soon, a golden ray of light fell on my head.
***
It’s huge.
That’s just my impression.
Sangam World Cup Stadium? No, I think it’s twice as big as that.
My body fell in a golden light. To the center of the stadium.
There is a huge holographic screen floating in the air.
[Exhibit all reverence.]
[Highest tier sponsor: Pogyu Soft Sojoa]
… Ah.
There is no time to do anything about the embarrassing nickname.
A familiar singing voice hits my ears.
“”Ah, holy pogyu soft! Today too, under his name~””
“”We will all be saved, so we will all shout loudly!””
For a moment, we heard embarrassing hymns.
I quickly turned my head here and there to find my daughters-
For a moment, it felt like time had stopped.
Musical bands lined up in front of me, singing hymns and playing instruments.
Up on the platform at the end-
Because I saw two people showing off their dazzling beauty that CG couldn’t even dare to capture.
Our meeting didn’t actually feel like what I imagined.
A little quieter, a little more comfortable.
It felt like that.
It wasn’t just because I thought of this place as a game. Wouldn’t it be like meeting two people vaguely?
What I thought.
A lot of sounds are hitting my ears.
Fireworks are exploding and the screen is flashing around you.
Okay-
It’s a little crazy, though.
Also, it’s a little embarrassing.
Still.
This might not be bad either.
“Guys, I’m here.”
