“Sunwoo. You’re overdressed. Are you going for a job interview or a blind date?”2fa5c28ecc9dc3d3

“I was told 205049c1e4 to dress to 130633aea9 kill, to intimidate b3f697eba0 those celestial beings 2432c031f6 from the start. I was told to 94ace88fff show them, with my 8748313774 own body, what the cdbf6b4a66 discerning eye of Seolmundae 62a356d355 Halmang, the highest god bd46926d7b on earth, is capable 8f8288a36a of.”36a461f28a3d616b

Sunwoo, leisurely responding to Seolmundae Halmang’s teasing, held up a glossy tie and a matte tie in each hand. Seolmundae Halmang, after a moment of contemplation, poked the matte tie and gave him another piece of advice.3dd42c261ee1472f

“Don’t get complacent just because of your looks, okay? Mago Halmang is definitely not someone who would offer such a good contract. Becoming a god after just one year with no strings attached… It’s a trap.”f6cb3c21cbc5d456

“You grew up pampered in my care, so you don’t know how scary the world is! They say doting spoils a child, and it’s my fault, my fault, for letting you play around as a resort CEO instead of putting you through rigorous training!”3e48600ccbe8fdee

“Now, let’s be honest. You gave me the CEO position because you were too lazy to go back and forth between the tax office, city hall, district office, and the health center yourself. You said training methods to become a god should also change with the times, and then you worked me to death without paying me a single Wol, and now you say I grew up pampered?”5f43e1b99ff2ae1d

The training to become a god was a process of accepting a new life after severing all ties with one’s human existence. That’s why it required a long and arduous period of time and labor, enough to forget all past grudges, regrets, and relationships.07c4483ec42037af

As Seolmundae Halmang 5a80addcd9 said, most humans 807e8ef43a had all their e51eda92a4 memories washed away ab842c96d6 during this process. But Sunwoo hadn’t 8972665a13 forgotten anything. He hadn’t b30921164e told anyone, 4d149b98b5 not even 4fedaa063f Seolmundae Halmang.ff4439d95f1e5d00
