“Sunwoo. You’re overdressed. Are you going for a job interview or a blind date?”c11f54651128d411

“I was 458edd2e00 told to 7caf5ff6e0 dress to c6449599cd kill, to a3d478ce6f intimidate those a62be34982 celestial beings ca61be2636 from the 6fe4e8802d start. I was told to 30a6f31434 show them, with my 4a7f08ec41 own body, what the 76051f8be9 discerning eye of Seolmundae ab45afcf4b Halmang, the highest god d15fb23c73 on earth, is capable 30ab063985 of.”691945cb55ee6879

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.f0689bc83685f899

“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.”e881a43ef4e55e47

“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!”f1fd329caf13b952

“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?”734edd19d6ffa25c

When he returned after passing the state examination, his fiancée, who was more precious than his life, had become the wife of some frivolous scoundrel. He tried to give up and move on, unable to linger on someone who was already another man’s wife, but then rumors spread that the scoundrel was gambling with his wife as a stake.055e753edc2b3039

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.dde91edb44ba99de
