I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 14

#14. Feeding Cerberus (1)

My vision was slowly encroaching.

This is already my third part-time job with Gods.

This scene transition also feels quite familiar.

‘The address rate is the address rate, but…’

First of all, I didn’t want to miss the good opportunity called ‘double salary chance’.

‘With a double, I can finally buy something at the store.’

It was a golden opportunity to become a consumer at the extremely expensive God’s Store.

‘Is the point of this part-time job not to be bitten by Cerberus?…’

[A word from the boss: My dog doesn’t get bitten. ^‿^*]

This means that it bites unconditionally.

‘cancer. ‘Unconditionally.’

Still, I’m not too worried.

‘At least they only provide food.’

If you combine the skills and talents you have acquired so far and the newly acquired authority of the Sword God, I think it is possible to provide food.

‘Anyway, what does Hades look like? Do you think it looks as scary as it looks in the book?’

At that moment, my vision was becoming brighter.

A shape hovering before my eyes.

As my vision became clearer…

“Oh, what a surprise!”

Damdeok screamed.

Even though the face was close in front of me, it was too close.

Bald and with a grim look.

Moreover, the mouth of the man wearing rags slowly opened.

“You… are not dead.”

A low, wet voice.

To the sound, a ferry boat sways in the current behind.

Squeak! Sigh!

‘ship…?’

Only then did the surrounding scenery come into view.

A river completely immersed in darkness.

An old ferry boat visible behind the man.

I had a rough guess.

The man would be a boatman.

Transporting the dead of the underworld….

‘Then this is the River Styx.’

River Styx.

In Greek mythology, it refers to the river surrounding the underworld.

In Korea, it would be about three degrees thousand.

The man gestured firmly.

“go back. This is no place for a brat like you. “The living cannot cross.”

Damdeok’s eyebrows twitched at the word ‘kid’.

“hmm. “Then where do I go to meet Hades?”

Boatman Charon’s eyebrows twitched this time at the name ‘Hades’ being spoken without hesitation.

“How dare you mention His Hamzah without permission?”

“Then let’s call Hades Hades. What but? Oh, should I give it a title? God of the underworld? King of the underworld? Zhienha?”

Charon’s mouth twitched like crazy.

…He just swore in Greek, right?

“Isn’t life a waste?”

“That’s what I wanted to ask. “You were the one who provoked me first, right?”

“you?”

“Yes you. “You said it informally first?”

Puzzle!

Sparks flew from the boatman’s eyes. Charon, who was glaring at me as if I wanted to kill him, turned around and took out a long hooked pole from the ferryboat.

What are you going to do with it?

To hit me…?

“I definitely warned you. “Go back.”

Charon said threateningly, aiming his pole.

Maybe it’s because he’s bald and he’s so big. I was just a little scared.

“All the less energetic gods like you died hanging from this pole.”

“and. “You are such a bad guy.”

“…What a nonsense. It’s your last chance. “You little one, just go.”

Huh again.

I don’t know why I get so upset about that word.

He quietly raised his middle finger.

“Such insolence!”

What do you understand?

Charon’s pole began to spin menacingly.

I also quietly moved the moonlight fox to my shoulder.

Charon snorted.

“Hmph, are you saying we’re going to fight together with the spirits? “There is no god in this world who would treat a little bastard like that!”

Charon swung the pole like a whip.

I also quickly transformed Baekseol.

Kaga River!

A heavy metal sound rang out.

A simple bounce.

But Charon was looking at Damdeok with an expression of disbelief. It wasn’t because he blocked his own attack.

“You… how are you holding that?”

Charon’s eyes were shaking wildly.

The corner of my mouth quirked up.

‘What, it seems like the story in the myth was real?’

To make it more visible, a white club was draped over his shoulder.

“why? “Do you recognize what this club is?”

Charon began to tremble with anger at Damdeok’s whining words.

I know… I know!

That club made of olive wood!

It was definitely true. “Isn’t that

the club of Hercules…!”

Charon wins! I ground my teeth.

Hercules.

He was a man who dared to come to the underworld while alive, beat up himself, the god of the dead, and cross the river.

And because of his human status, he

even pays the fare!

He’s like a pure bladed robber!

The club Hercules used to beat himself at that time was that olive tree club.

‘It’s definitely a different color.’

Charon gritted his teeth.

Apart from the rising anger,

my body did not move quickly.

Damdeok hits with a stick! He hit my shoulder and touched it.

“Well, if you know what this club is, the conversation will be faster.”

Charon felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.

The memory trauma of that scary day was creeping up.

“…What on earth do you want to say?”

“What do you mean? “Let’s go quickly, I’m busy.”

“….”

“why? no? Are you really going to try it?”

When the club was suddenly lowered, Charon flinched and took a step back.

“Then at least the boat fare….”

“What? Are you kidding me?”

Charon kept his mouth shut as the atmosphere became more hostile.

‘That guy is very similar to Hercules!’

Even the threatening style of speaking and threatening.

‘Damn it, what crime have I committed!’

It was the moment when Charon’s pride completely collapsed.

The fear of that day when I was beaten like a dog on a dog day.

To be honest, I felt like I wanted to give him a ride quickly and not see that stick.

“…Follow me.”

When I finally gave up and was about to guide them to the ferry, the fiery spirit of Hades suddenly passed by.

“You useless bastard! Invading the living! “You will be imprisoned in chains for a year!”

I felt a chill in my stomach.

The criminal who threatened and even committed assault was Hercules, but didn’t he, the victim, receive a terrible punishment?

Charon, who was trembling in fear, suddenly turned and swung his hooked pole.

“I can’t be sentenced to chains again!!”

Wedge!

It was an attack that Damdeok, who was defenseless, could never avoid.

But

[the intuition of power comes into play!]

Huh? what?

It feels like all the blood from the whole body is rushing to the head at once.

I felt it.

Life overflowing from Charon in a split second!

Wedge!

The pole narrowly grazed his left cheek, and Damdeok instinctively kicked the ground.

“This bastard stabs you in the back?!”

“…omg!”

It was only a moment, but Charon saw Hercules in Damdeok.

Hercules wore the Nemean lion armor and beat himself up like a beast of hell.

“Please save me…!”

Panic came due to severe trauma.

Damdeok’s club hit with all his might on Charon’s stiff head.

Kwaang!!

“Keuok!”

Immediately, Charon’s egg white turned over and then fell down with a foamy consistency.

Damdeok scratched his head sheepishly as the battle ended so smoothly.

“What… why are you so weak?”

* * *

chin!

As soon as I got off the boat, I saw a large cave.

“Oh, so this is the entrance to the underworld?”

I asked Charon, but there was no answer.

I looked back and saw that he was rowing away quickly.

Damn! Sigh!

– @#&@$%#@!

He walks away while shouting something. It must be an insult, right?

“…You’re a total coward.”

While I was clicking my tongue a couple of times, I heard a beautiful voice from behind me.

“Are you here in charge of Cerberus?”

When I turned around, there was a goddess standing there. This was not a figurative expression, she was a real goddess.

Her richly braided golden hair, transparent white skin, and particularly red eyes proved that the woman in front of her was not human.

‘Aphrodite…?’

For a moment, her appearance could have been mistaken for a goddess of beauty, but that couldn’t have been the case.

‘Because this is the afterlife.’

I cleared my voice.

“Yes, this is Yu Dam-deok.”

“nice to meet you. “My husband was so angry that there were no applicants, I almost had to take over the job.”

The goddess smiles as she offers to shake hands.

‘If Hades is the husband… is it Persephone?’

Persephone.

She was a goddess who reigned as the ‘god of the underworld’ along with Hades.

“Let’s go. “I will guide you to where Cerberus is.”

I walked along the winding road for a while, following the goddess.

What was surprising was that as I entered the cave entrance, there was a vast wasteland stretching out endlessly.

“Cerberus is very far away.”

“In the past, I would call directly to where Cerberus was… But my husband told me not to do that anymore.”

“Why?”

“Half of the part-time workers who came like that couldn’t handle Cerberus and ran away. So, I thought that I would have to be capable of subduing the boatman Charon in order to deal with Cerberus.”

‘So that was some kind of test.’

I understand. In mythology, Cerberus was a fearsome monster called ‘the sentinel of hell.’

‘I’m feeling nervous again for no reason.’

How long did you walk?

I saw a faint light in the distance.

“We’re all here.”

As the goddess spoke, an open land spread out before my eyes.

“That’s Cerberus….”

It was huge.

Shiny black fur that matches the size of a house.

Above all, it had three heads.

– Crrrrr!

The guy looked in my direction and bared his teeth. It was the action of three heads at the same time.

‘If I get bitten, I think I’ll have to open the gate of the underworld right behind it and go in…’

The huge gate of the underworld located at the back.

It was a huge door, probably ten times bigger than Cerberus.

‘The scale is really big.’

Seeing the entrance to the underworld in person gave me a truly new feeling.

The time for appreciation was soon broken, but…

– Crrrrrrr!

Cerberus growled fiercely.

It seemed like he would attack at any moment, but Damdeok surprisingly remained calm.

‘Still, I feel a little relieved because I’m tied up.’

A huge pillar next to the Gate of the Underworld.

Because Cerberus was tightly tied to that pillar.

“Please read this before you start work.”

Persephone handed over an old parchment.

[*Cerberus Precautions*]

It is usually gentle, but there is a high risk of injury when feeding. Be especially careful not to get bitten on your hands, arms, head, torso, or legs!

‘What you need to pay attention to is your hands, arms, head, torso, legs… Just tell everyone to be careful.’

Other situations that require attention include when Cerberus is guarding the gates of the Underworld, when Cerberus is lying down, when Cerberus is standing, when Cerberus is sitting, when Cerberus is licking its front paws, when Cerberus is yawning, etc.

‘Are you kidding me?’

Wagjak the parchment! I was about to crumple it up, but I held back and folded it up.

“My husband has organized the precautions, so it will be clear. “I also have a daily schedule on the back, so please refer to it.”

Hearing Persephone’s kind explanation, he unfolded the parchment again.

As said, Cerberus’ daily schedule was written on the back page.

[*Cerberus daily schedule*]

Breakfast and a walk (only in the underworld!)

Lunch and a walk (only in the underworld!)

Dinner and a walk (only in the underworld!)

It was a very simple and clear daily schedule, but Damdeok could not help but be astonished.

No, you mean taking a walk?

“Does Cerberus take walks?”

At those words, Persephone smiled without saying a word.

An expression that asks why you are asking the obvious.

No, it’s clear that Gonggo only needs to give food….

Damdeok’s gaze slowly turned towards Cerberus.

– Crrrrrrr!

The guy’s fiercely exposed teeth said this.

Kill! Be sure to bite and kill!

“…Hahaha, it’s going to spin, really.”
