## Chapter 1686 – The Chronicles of a Black-Haired Foreigner – The Life of a Transcendent Being

It was a rare day off, so I called my son.

“Nick, Nick, Nick.”

I made weird gestures at Nick, who stood before the throne.

“Ugh! Stop it, please!”

Nick, face red, dared to spew such nonsense at his own father. Did this brat just tell his heavenly father to stop?

So, I didn’t stop and continued.

“Uh-huh. Gonna keep going. Nick, Nick, Nick.”
“Ugh! Please! Father! Seriously!”
“Nick, Nick, Nick.”
“Aaaagh!”
“Tsk! If you don’t react, I’m cutting off your allowance, got it? And your computer’s getting confiscated.”
“Ugh, why does it have to be like that, Father!”

Nick, who had grown up quite a bit, was going through puberty hard. Even when the great Heavenly Demon Kim Katteu Father played around, he only showed such a cold reaction.

The sparkling eyes of the old days were gone.

“Hehehe, ah, seriously.”

Nevertheless, the fact that he’s my cute kid doesn’t change. The way he gets angry and shouts is just like his mom. That’s why he feels so cute.

“Why is this little punk so cute, huh? Why is Nick so cute? Seriously, wanna die? He’s so cute I wanna beat him up. Damn, I wanna smack him.”

ㅡThwack.

As I raised my fist and spoke, Nick freaked out.

“What do you mean, die again, Father! You always say stuff like that! And stop calling me cute! Do you know how embarrassing it is for a grown man to hear that!”
“Grown man, my ass.”

He might be growing fast, but he’s still just a kid. Really. I didn’t expect those little ones to grow up so fast.

Wasn’t puberty supposed to hit at 15?

Anyway, this bloodline thing was seriously messed up. Just because he was born as my son, he’s ridiculously strong.

“Anyway, I think all my kids are cute, got it? Screw shame, I’ll say what I want, Kim Katcola. I love our cute Nick.”
“Stop it, it’s creepy!”
“Creepy? This little punk. I let it slide for a bit and now you’re saying anything to your dad? You wanna get your ass beat.”
“Well, you always say you’re gonna hit me…”

As I raised my fist again, Nick flinched. Of course, I had never hit Nick in my life. Just occasionally made him sit in front of me and flicked his forehead if he did something wrong. I wouldn’t punch my own kid.

“You’re making me wanna punch you. Nick, Nick, Nick.”
“Ugh, seriously, that! Stop doing that! Why do you always do it!”
“If you don’t like it, become the Heavenly Demon~”
“Ugh!”
“Yeah. Whether you like it or not, I’m the Heavenly Demon. No one can mess with me.”
“Do you have to do that to your son!”
“Yeah. I wanna do that to my son. Why.”
“Seriously frustrating!”

ㅡThump, thump!

Nick, with a frustrated look, pounded his chest. My lovely Nick. No matter what you do, the fact that I’m the Heavenly Demon and your dad doesn’t change.

“Frustrated? Huh? Our Nick, Nick, Nick is frustrated?”
“What are you gonna say now…”
“It’s nothing much. I’m hearing rumors that our Nick is neglecting his studies lately.”

This is highly reliable information.
These days, Nick is slacking off on his studies.

“N-Not neglecting, it’s just that…”
“Just that?”
“I-I don’t really need to study! I can eat well and live well even without studying!”
“Ooh! So our Nick wants to quit everything and just laze around!”

I didn’t know my son was thinking that!

“If you wanted to do that, you should have said so sooner! You could have played with your dad! Come here! Let’s go play together!”

I immediately jumped up from my seat and spread my arms wide, and Nick tried to run away, looking disgusted.

“Aaaagh!”
“Where are you going! You said you wanted to play! Should we play monster tag with Dad like we used to!”
“That’s not what I meant!”
“Then what do you mean?”
“J-Just! I can live comfortably without studying…”
“Your dream is to be unemployed?”
“Why can’t I be!”

Nick was a good and bright kid, but his thoughts changed when puberty hit. He used to swing a toy sword, saying he wanted to be like his dad, but now he wants to be unemployed.

I can’t allow it.

“Hehehe, there’s no reason you can’t. If our Nick wants to be unemployed, go ahead.”
“Then!”
“But if you’re unemployed, there’s no support from the family. You’ll just be unemployed with nothing, are you okay with that?”
“No! Even if I am, I’m still a prince with the blood of the gods! How can you do that!”
“Yeah. Even if you’re my son, I won’t support you if you’re unemployed, hee hee hee.”
“Ugh! Dad, please!”

He who does not work, neither shall he eat. That kind of ideology is firmly ingrained in my head. Well, if he wants to be unemployed, I’ll respect that. Of course, there’s no support.

“You little bum.”
“Huh?”
“Hehehe, hey Nick. If you want to earn some allowance, do that. The Parasite Arts. Dad wants to see that.”

I want to see my son perform the Parasite Arts himself.

“Ugh, I really don’t want to! Why do you keep making me do that!”
“Allowance confiscated.”
“Aaaagh!”

In the end, Nick screamed, his frustration exploding. His face was red, which was truly cute.

But even if he becomes unemployed, he’s still my blood. Physically, he’s very strong, so it won’t be too hard for him.

Of course, I can’t let that happen.

If he becomes unemployed, he’ll be demoted from a superhuman to an ordinary person.

“If you become unemployed, Kim Katteu Power is also confiscated, got it?”
“Ugh, seriously!”
“Find something you want to do in the future. Hey. I’ve let you do everything you’ve wanted to do so far, how can you do this? Do you know how much it hurts Dad’s heart?”
“Ugh.”

Nick’s voice became smaller, as if he felt sorry after I said my heart hurt.

“I… I don’t have anything I want to do…”

It’s a common worry.

Originally, during puberty, you don’t know what you want to do when you grow up, so you worry. That’s why he tried to choose the easy path.

That way of thinking is so trivial that it’s absurdly cute. Damn, that’s why you need to have kids. Everything is healing.

“You can find it.”
“I don’t have it…”
“Why not? There are so many jobs in the world.”

There are tens of thousands of jobs in the world. If you look, you’ll definitely find something you want to do.

“But… even if I find something like that, it’s meaningless.”
“Why is it meaningless again?”

What nonsense.

“What can I do on this small planet… You know it anyway, Dad. That it’s futile. Divine beings destroy planets with just one punch, so doing something in this cramped land is too meaningless!”

Wow.

Our Nick was worried about that. Well, since I’m the Heavenly Demon, he might think that as my son.

Me too. And other transcendent beings too. For those guys, one planet is really nothing. Knowing that, and with puberty and middle school syndrome coming at the same time. Nick ended up thinking that way.

Then I have to comfort him as a dad.

Hugging him tightly.

“Hey. Nick, Nick, Nick. Come here.”
“No.”
“Come here quickly.”
“I’m not going.”
“You’re not coming? You’re not coming? This punk isn’t coming when Dad calls? Come quickly.”
“Ugh, seriously!”
“One. Two. Three. You’re really gonna die.”
“I’m going!”

ㅡWhoosh!

As I counted for real, Nick quickly ran up to where my throne was.

Immediately.

ㅡHug!

“Aaaagh!”

I hugged Nick tightly and bound him in my arms.

“Ugh, seriously! Let go! Father!!!”
“Hehehe, you’re pretending you don’t like it.”
“I don’t like it!”
“You can’t be like that.”

ㅡRub, rub.

I hugged Nick tightly and rubbed my cheek against his cheek. Small and weak Nick couldn’t withstand my physical assault.

“Aaaagh! Stop hugging me like this! You always do this!”
“Yeah, I’m gonna hug you.”
“Seriously!”
“If you don’t like it, become the Heavenly Demon~”
“Keuk!”

What if I want to hug my son?

“Wow, but why is this punk so small. Nick, you said you’re all grown up. Huh? Is this all grown up? Are you kidding Dad right now? You little punk?”
“You’re just really big, Dad!”
“Oh, you’re raising your voice? That’s blasphemy and sacrilege, got it? You really wanna get a spanking.”
“Do it if you can!”
“I’ll let you off because you’re my son.”

I can’t punish my son with that.

“Okay, let’s lie down.”
“Ha!”

I lay down in my seat, hugging Nick like that. Lying down with my son in my arms made me want to tickle him.

“Hey, damn, Dad really wants to tickle our Nick, is that okay?”

So I asked.

“No! Seriously! Father! Really don’t do that!”

Nick answered like he was having a seizure.

“The more you tell me not to do it, the more I want to do it.”
“Father! Warning! Don’t do it!”
“Sorry, but Dad’s not someone who listens to his son.”

Like that.

ㅡTickle, tickle, tickle.

“I’m gonna tell Mommmmmmmmm!”

I tickled the hell out of Nick’s side, who was completely subdued.

“Hehehe. A guy saying he’s gonna tell his mom. Hey. Winia is mine, got it? Do you think anything will happen if you tell her?”
“Stop ittttttt! Stopppppppp!”

Yeah.

Laugh as much as you want.

You have to laugh a lot during puberty.

This is the heart of a father. If there’s nothing to laugh about, I’ll make you laugh. Kids with a lot of worries need to feel endorphins.

While I was doing that.

ㅡFwoosh.

A gate opened in front and Winia walked out.

“Ugh! You damn darkie! You’re bothering Nick again!!!”

Here comes the relief pitcher.

“Oh, Mom…!”

Nick, hugged in my arms, called out to his mom. What a spoiled brat. I should have taught him that Mom won’t solve his problems forever.

“Hey, Winia? Do you really think I’m bothering Nick?”
“Don’t lie! Darkie, who told you to bother my son! You wanna die!”

Strictly speaking, I can also be said to be Winia’s son… but she’s just yelling at me like he’s her own kid.

That seductive woman.

“What bothering? We’re just playing together. Right, Nick?”
“Mom! This is a lie! Dad told me to do the Parasite Arts!”
“Whattttt!”

How could he tell on me like that.

“Is this punk even a guy? He’s telling on me. Winia. It’s all because you spoil him too much. That’s why he became such a tattletale.”
“Lies! Darkie’s being a Darkie again! Darkie!”
“You should say Darkie did Darkie things.”

How can Heavenly Demon Kim Katteu stop being a Darkie.

“You really wanna get punished!”
“I didn’t do anything to get punished!”
“You bothered Nick!”
“I didn’t bother him! Winia. I’m not lying, do you know what happens if I really bother Nick? All day long-“
“I don’t care! Let go of Nick quickly!”
“Eing.”

I can’t help it.

“Huh? If your husband’s playing with his son, you should at least make some snacks, instead of just telling me not to bother him. That’s blasphemy, blasphemy.”
“I’ll make them when Darkie stops bothering Nick!”

ㅡSwish.

I immediately let go of Nick.

“Mom!”

That punk Nick immediately ran to his mom and hugged her waist.

“Aww, our Nick. Did Papa bother you a lot? Huh?”
“Please punish Father!”

Oh, that guy.

“Yeah, yeah. Mom’s gonna tear him a new one. Darkie! Let’s go get punished!”

She’s gonna punish me with those heavy breasts…!
