Franchise God Episode 003

Chapter 1 I am the heir? (3)

“If I eat this consistently, will I eventually transcend humanity and become closer to God?”

Ha Soo-young folded her arms and slumped down on the spot.

He squinted his eyes and stared blankly up at the unidentifiable tree that had appeared overnight.

Not only does it show no signs of being transplanted from outside, it appears overnight, and it is now sending messages directly into your head.

“I’m sure my father is a god. Either that or I’m crazy right now.”

Ha Soo-young narrowed her eyes even further and looked up and down the tree.

“But I’m completely sane right now. Even a crazy person thinks he’s sane….”

Ha Soo-young opened her palm. The drop of liquid inside had not evaporated and still boasted a brilliant golden sheen.

Unless I’m hallucinating, this mysterious liquid called elixir is really there before my eyes.

“The exclusive possession of the ancient gods… If I consume this consistently, I can escape from being human?”

Why did my father reveal that he was God?

Why did he pick himself up from Earth and raise him for nearly 20 years?

Twenty years is nothing to God. Was it really just a short moment of play?

But then, why did we leave these trees behind?

“If you just leave me a decent amount of money in my bank account, I will manage it well and use it properly, but I feel like I can’t do that…”

Ha Soo-young felt a little wronged. Ever since she was young, she had managed her money very well, even though it was not appropriate for her age.

My father must have seen it too, but he left me something strange like a tree instead of physical property.

“What’s the point of leaving humanity behind? You’re going to die anyway. It’s better to just have fun and enjoy the time you have left.”

Now I even feel a little resentful toward my father.

“Instead of giving me something like this instead of the Cheongdam-dong building, why don’t you just stay here?”

Ha Soo-young, who was mumbling in a half-sincere voice, turned her gaze to the liquid on her palm.

He gazed at the softly shiny figure for a moment, then brought his palm to his mouth. Then he licked it.

“Ugh!”

In an instant, a hot and sharp sensation pierced my tongue. The pain that pierced my head felt like it was tearing at my heart.

It hurt. It hurt so much. It felt like the heat was digging into my flesh and burning my pain nerves.

“Eww!”

Ha Soo-young rolled around just like that. Her whole body felt a tingling sensation and hot heat surged down to the tips of her toes.

Ha Su-yeong, who had been writhing in pain for a long time, lost consciousness at one point.

When he came to his senses again, the darkness of dawn had already descended.

He opened his eyes blankly and looked up at the tree his father had left behind.

After a while, he opened his mouth as if he was muttering.

“Father, why didn’t you tell me it would hurt like this?”

At that very moment, as if he had been waiting, my father’s answer came back.

– Didn’t I say that drinking more than one drop a day would be bad for your soul? If you abuse it, it would really, really, really cause you serious harm, so it’s definitely one drop a day. I’m still worried that you’ll save it up and drink it all at once because of your personality.

“You were just waiting for me to answer, but you disappeared without a word earlier? Are you giggling while watching me suffer?”

-Oh, what do you think of this father?

“Back in the day, when I accidentally put mustard sauce on a hamburger and took a bite and rolled around, I laughed so hard I held my stomach. And when I accidentally deleted my game account, you laughed so hard. Oh, and when I lost one of my AirPods a while ago, you laughed out loud in the backyard by yourself, right?”

-It’s all a misunderstanding.

“What misunderstanding? I know what Father really means.”

Ha Soo-young grumbled, shook her hands, and turned away. Then, an urgent voice was heard from behind her.

-Son! You have to take this! It’s cool down!

“Elixir?”

-Eat lots and grow up quickly so you can shed your human skin. You need to shed your human skin as soon as possible.

As the tree branches swayed and came forward, Ha Soo-young looked up with displeased eyes and then put both hands together and stretched them forward.

The tips of the branches turned golden, and a single drop of translucent golden liquid fell down.

“What should I do with this…?”

Ha Soo-young stared blankly at the elixir in a transparent container, her chin resting on her hand.

I was watching.

The golden liquid did not disperse, but rather pooled in the center of the container. At first glance, it looked like a glass bead rather than a liquid.

Ha Soo-young put her hand on her chest. Her heart was still pounding hard.

Thinking about the pain I had just experienced sent shivers down my spine.

“Oh, this hurts too much. I can’t do it. What should I do…”

Ha Su-young thought about it carefully.

The elixir was said to have the power to promote growth of the body and soul, completely heal, and revive.

Is there any way to utilize it other than ingesting it?

He slowly turned his gaze and looked around the house. Then his eyes stopped on a colander placed on one side of the kitchen.

The basket contained neatly arranged several pine mushrooms that had been purchased a while ago.

“Oh, should we try that?”

Ha Soo-young clapped her hands lightly.

“Is it worth a try?”

* * *

The next day.

“Father, please give me the elixir quickly.”

-What’s going on? Okay, I understand. Take it.

And then the next day.

“Hasn’t the cooldown ended yet? Hurry up and give me the elixir. I’m feeling dizzy.”

-Oh, pretty thing. Eat lots and lots and quickly shed your human form. Take it now.

The next day again.

“Father! Elixir! Elixir!”

-Here it is. But lately, the screaming seems to be getting less and less refreshing.

‘Ugh! Was the acting yesterday too bad?’

“Ah, that… I can bear it now. I’m used to the pain, so I can bear it.”

– Very good. As expected, my son has all the qualities to become a franchise god.

“Oh, well then. If I, a one-tenth of a trillionth of a human being, don’t have the qualities, then where in this universe can I find the qualities?”

-That’s something special.

The next day again.

“Father, I’ve been thinking about it, and don’t you think two drops a day would be enough?”

-Oh, they say that when you think you’ve gotten used to something, something big happens. Have you already forgotten that time when you thought 60kg squats were too easy and tasted good, you increased it to 70kg and almost tore your hamstring?

“I really think it’ll be okay.”

-No. There has never been a case of increasing the dose of elixir so quickly. This father is against it.

Just as Ha Soo-young was about to be disappointed, Eun Ha-shin spoke softly again.

-Let’s do this. One drop per day for six days a week, and two drops on the seventh day.

“Call, daddy.”

-But I haven’t seen you hanging around the house lately. Where do you go out so often?

“I’m growing mushrooms these days. That keeps me busy with a lot of things.”

-Why mushrooms all of a sudden?

“There’s a field in the corner of the front yard that my father used to cultivate for growing mushrooms. I don’t want to let it just sit there, so I do it as a way to pass the time. When I do this, the day goes by in a flash.”

-Hmm, when I asked you to do it together, you just said no and loafed around.

“I guess you only realize the value of your parents after you lose them. Without my father by my side, I feel lonely for no reason, so I am reflecting while tending to the mushroom patch he left behind.”

-That’s right. Filial piety should be done well when the parents are around. Parents never wait for their children. Do you understand?

“sorry.”

After Ha Su-yeong left, the Milky Way tree, which had been quiet for a long time, began to sigh and shake all of its branches thinly.

-This son of a bitch is trying to fool his father with something so obvious. Yeah, I’ll let that kind of rebellion and deviation be tolerated because it’s all part of the growing process. You’re bound to become a franchise god anyway, you punk.

And then Ha Soo-young… … .

“I’ve been a war hero and conquered the world, I’ve been a great wizard and saved planets, I’ve done a lot of different things, but fame and power are all useless. A life of peace, a life like a resort, is the best.”

The well-kept fields within the garden were surrounded on all sides by a two-meter high brick wall.

“Elixir is the best natural fertilizer.”

Ha Su-yeong muttered with satisfaction as she looked at the mushrooms that had grown in abundance.

“I decided before I was born that I would spend this life comfortably, taking rent, and resting well. Do you think I’m crazy and would spend my whole life cleaning?”
