He asked a casual question, but Seo Kang-rim couldn’t answer right away.
No one could easily answer that question.
Did God really create humans, or did humans create God by writing myths?
Seo Kang-rim opened his mouth while staring at the laptop.
“I don’t know which came first, but some god must have been born from humans.”
“Yes. Just like many heroes have been deified by people.”
There are countless myths in the world.
Many myths say that the gods existed first and then created humans.
But as Seo Kang-rim said, there were also gods who were born from humans.
For example, Seo Kang-rim was such a being.
Although he was human, he became a hero, and people worshipped and revered him, leading to his deification.
Besides Seo Kang-rim, there must have been many gods created by humans.
“In the case of Seo Kang-rim, he is a real person, but there are also cases where fictional stories come to life. If there is enough belief.”
Dokgo Jun smiled brightly and continued speaking.
“That’s why I wanted to try an experiment. If enough people believe in the novel I wrote, wouldn’t it become real? Maybe a fictional race that worships you will be created.”
It may sound like sophistry, but it also sounds like there is some truth to it.
Many myths may have been born from human beliefs.
Dokgo Jun said, tapping the monitor screen.
“That’s why I put that kind of setting into the novel. It’s not a loss if a race that worships you doesn’t emerge, and it would be good if it did.”
As he said, there was no harm done either way.
If virtual beings that worship him are born, his divine power will be further strengthened.
It wasn’t a bad idea, in fact it was a pretty good idea.
Certainly, Dokgo Jun is useful.
The moment he thought that and turned the next page, he canceled the thought.
As Seo Kang-rim started deleting the manuscript by pressing the backspace key, Dokgo Jun quickly snatched the laptop.
“what are you doing?”
“What are you doing? Why are Shin Soo Ah and I… .”
The part that was being deleted was a kissing scene.
I never thought I’d write something like this.
As Seo Kang-rim glared at Dokgo Jun, he hugged his laptop tightly and preciously.
“I already backed it up even if I deleted it anyway. And this scene is absolutely necessary for the novel!”
“I’m sorry for disrespecting Ms. Shin Soo Ah. Delete it.”
When Seo Kang-rim gave a strong order, Dokgo Jun eventually had no choice but to take a step back.
He grumbled with a disgruntled expression.
“It’s too much to kiss. No, why don’t you two date in the first place? From what I see, you two seem like destined partners.”
“I don’t think this is the right story to tell in this situation. And it’s not something you should be talking about either.”
Even if Seo Kang-rim and Shin Soo-ah had romantic feelings for each other, it was not something a third party, Dokgo Jun, could carelessly say.
Dokgo Jun blinked when he heard that.
“Why isn’t this a story I can tell?”
“You are a third party.”
“A third party? Technically speaking, I am like your father.”
What the hell is this?
When Seo Kang-rim stared at Dokgo Jun as if he was crazy, he made a face that said he didn’t understand.
“You, the god, were born from the novel I wrote, so I, who created you, am like a father to you, right?”
“… … .”
“Right, son?”
Seo Kang-rim was amazed.
How can a person be so colorfully crazy?
Seo Kang-rim stood up from his seat without responding.
“Anyway, delete that scene. I’ll come back and check the rest.”
Seo Kang-rim did not respond to the mention of his son, knowing that it was impossible to persuade a madman with words.
As Seo Kang-rim left the room after giving instructions, Dokgo Jun shouted at him from behind.
“Kangrim, you must call Dad when you meet the parents!”
There was no answer in return.
Dokgo Jun smiled with satisfaction.
Since Seo Kang-rim is a very shy person, it was likely that he would hide stories related to love.
Dokgo Jun decided to be generous and understanding to his son who was very shy.
‘But I’m really curious about many things.’
He was making his own story and guessing based on the information Seo Kang-rim gave him.
About the identity of the Protectorate, the return of Seo Kang-rim, and the existence of Baek Young.
I tried to come up with my own hypothesis, but there was still not enough information.
‘I wonder if Seo Kang-rim doesn’t know, or if he’s hiding it from me.’
He knew very well that Seo Kang-rim did not completely trust him.
I also knew that there was something hidden.
But I didn’t rush it because I found the situation interesting.
‘But I still want more information.’
Dokgo Jun thought like that and diligently wrote the rest of the manuscript.

It was late in the morning when Dokgo Jun, who had been typing on the keyboard for a long time, got up from his seat.
He went upstairs carrying a wiretapping device and a surveillance camera in his hand.
‘I failed to infiltrate Seo Kang-rim’s room last time, but I can’t give up. I’ll install it when Seo Kang-rim’s room is out, and for now, I’ll install it in a nearby passageway.’
He walked along quite happily.
As I was humming a little tune and heading to Seo Kang-rim’s room, Dokgo Jun suddenly stopped in the hallway.
Because there was an unexpected person there.
“… …Huh? Ms. Shin Soo-ah?”
The person sitting in front of Seo Kang-rim’s dormitory door was Shin Soo-ah.
When Dokgo Jun appeared, Shin Soo Ah slowly raised her head and stared at him.
“What’s going on? This late at night.”
A soft whispering voice and a piercing gaze.
He could tell right away that she was wary of him.
Dokgo Jun smiled and whispered in a small voice.
“I should be the one to say that. Why is Shin Soo-ah here?”
He couldn’t figure out why Shin Soo-ah was guarding the front of his room, but soon his expression became as if he had realized something.
Dokgo Jun said with a grin.
“Oh, you were waiting for me? Are you afraid I’ll sneak into Seo Kang-rim’s room?”
“That’s not the reason, but now that I hear it, I feel like I have to stop you.”
She looked at the surveillance camera and wiretap that Dokgo Jun was holding.
A quiet life force flowed out of Shin Soo-ah.
It looks like he’ll start a fight if Dokgo Jun approaches.
Dokgo Jun smiled brightly at the sight.
“Hey, I think we’ve known each other for quite some time, but you’re still cold to me.”
“… … Go and sleep.”
“Hmm. I wonder why Ms. Shin Soo-ah is here. It doesn’t seem like she was really waiting to stop me.”
Dokgo Jun looked at Shin Soo Ah persistently.
Given his personality, it was obvious that if he didn’t tell me the reason, he would persist and hang on until the end.
Shin Soo-ah swallowed a small sigh and said.
“I’m standing guard. I don’t think any assassins will come in here, but just in case.”
“Ahaha, should I say that it’s sincerity or overprotection?”
Dokgo Jun looked impressed, but at the same time, satisfied.
He said with a grin.
“I like that crazy part about Shin Soo Ah. But don’t push yourself too hard.”
“… … Go and get some sleep. And keep it a secret from Seo Kang-rim.”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m rooting for you both. Then, Shin Soo Ah, have a good night too. Don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
Dokgo Jun left after saying goodbye affectionately.
Even after he left, Shin Soo-ah sat quietly in the darkness.
It was a lie that he was trying to prepare for the assassin, but it was true that he was trying to protect Seo Kang-rim.
‘If Professor Seo Hwa-kyung hadn’t told me back then, I would have never known what condition Kang-rim was in.’
A few days ago, I received a call from Seo Hwa-kyung through Kang Do-hyun.
The reason she contacted me was to inform me about Seo Kang-rim’s current condition.
When she heard that story, Shin Soo-ah was greatly shaken.
‘Mr. Kangrim, how close have you gotten to the border?’
Although Seo Kang-rim despaired at the fact that he was approaching the boundary and was falling apart, the words that followed were sufficiently hopeful.
Shin Soo-ah, the fact that her presence is weakening the effect.
‘So that’s why you fell asleep in my room at that time.’
Shin Soo-ah recalled the time when Seo Kang-rim was fast asleep in her room.
How peaceful he looked back then.
After finding out the truth, he wanted to let Seo Kang-rim sleep in his room, but there was no way he would accept it.
That’s why Shin Soo-ah has been guarding the door every night since she received the call.
The distance was a bit far, but it was enough to chase away the nightmares he was having.
Shin Soo-ah quietly closed her eyes in the darkness.
If only Seo Kang-rim could have a good dream, even if it was just for a short while, he would gladly accept the lifelong night watch.
‘If only your night could be comfortable even for a moment.’
So today, too, Shin Soo-ah chose to become Seo Kang-rim’s guardian.
Only after the pale dawn light had set in did she quietly return to her room.
Even after she left, the scent of the forest lingered.
* * *
Lucky day, same day.
There were about 10 minutes left until the time designated by the teacher.
Shin Soo-ah, me, and Father John were gathered in my room waiting for the appointed time.
Father John knelt down and prayed for us for a long time.
[The ability ‘Guidance of Light’ is activated!]
As the protective magic settled upon us, faint shards of light sparkled around us and then disappeared.
After the long prayer, Father John rose from his seat, but his expression still looked worried.
“I’ve placed a protective spell on you, so your recovery and defense will be increased for the time being.”
“Thank you, Father.”
“Haa, I’m really worried. I have to send you two off like this. The others also wanted to watch you two leave… … .”
In the morning, a large number of doors were broken into in the city center, and combat personnel, including disciples, were sent outside.
Seeing the worried look on your face all day yesterday, it seemed like it would have been better for you not to be here.
He asked Shin Soo Ah with a slightly sad face.
“Sister Shinsooah said she was going to the shrine first. Is it okay for her to go alone?”
“Yes, the first owner won’t be hostile to me from the beginning, so it’ll be okay for me to go in alone.”
The reason Shin Soo-ah visits the nameless shrine is for her own growth.
Shin Soo-ah suggested to Moo-myung that he help her grow further, and Moo-myung accepted.
Of course, that was only a superficial reason, and it is unlikely that Moo-myeong had really called Shin Soo-ah with a pure purpose.
Anonymous was my enemy, and he was approaching my comrades to possess them.
If such a god called Shinsooah to the new realm, there is only one purpose.
Probably to make her possessed.
Up to this point, it was predictable, but there were still some parts that were questionable.
The first owner has still not been contacted.
Why did the first owner cut off contact with Shin Soo-ah?
