## Chapter 1696 – The Life of a Transcender – A Black-Haired Foreigner’s Tale

“You’re here again!”

As a result of forcing my affections on him right away, Nick got angry. Of course, I don’t care… because I’m the kind of guy who always gets what he wants.

Even if my son rebels, I’m the kind of guy who can force him.

“Hey, Winick. You better give your dad a kiss while I’m asking nicely. Or I might have to beat you with the Secretary Kwon martial arts.”
“Beat me? Seriously! Dad, you’re always like this! Do you like this!”
“I fuckin’ love it, why?”
“Like hell! What kind of dad in the world forces his grown-up son to kiss him!”
“This one.”

I pointed at myself and answered immediately.

“Ah.”

Nick stared at me blankly.

“Nick, you should have kids too. See if they aren’t cute. I don’t care if it’s a son or a daughter. To this dad, they all look lovely.”
“Saying fatherly things like that won’t…!”

Even I think I’m saying something cool right now. The heart of a parent who loves their child. That’s also the power of the Love Demon.

It doesn’t matter who it is.

Tell your mom, your dad, or your kids that you love them. Love must be abundant in the home so that you can give warm love outside as well. As a result, I’m scattering my warm love throughout all dimensions.

“This dad, you see, thinks our Nicknickni is fuckin’ cute. So cute that I want to beat him up, that’s how cute he is.”
“Verbal abuse!”
“Daughter or son, it doesn’t matter! Winick! Since you were born as my son, you have to accept my affection!”
“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

In the end.

“Keuheuk!”

I was able to get a kiss from Nick.

Ah.

This is really satisfying.

It’s better when my daughters do it, but there’s a different flavor to it when it’s my son. It feels like Nick’s heart is being properly conveyed. If Zbell and Shuka are daughters full of aegyo, then Nick is a son who’s always being prickly.

A similar feeling to Kaina.

Anyway, even if the ranks of cuteness are a bit different, the fact that they’re lovable doesn’t change. Kids are just so lovable that love explodes just by looking at them, you know?

This should be the natural heart of a parent, so why the hell was that weirdo Kim Mal-soo like that? He was my dad, but he used violence without hesitation.

I can never become that kind of dad.

“This is abuse of power! Abuse of power! It’s abuse of power to use Dad’s power to force affection!”
“Hehehe, Nick. Does it feel like abuse of power to you?”
“You’re stating the obvious!”
“Since this Cheonma Kim Kat has ruled that it’s not abuse of power, it’s not abuse of power.”
“Huh?!”

Nick shouts in surprise at my declaration.

“Th, that can’t be…!”
“Don’t tell me you’re thinking of going against this Cheonma God?”

A world where gods exist.

That means that there is truth in the world. And that truth is created by the god, me. Therefore, if I want something, it is the right thing to do.

“It seems like you still don’t know that this world revolves around Dad. If this dad defines something, it becomes the truth. That’s what a god is, Nick.”
“This doesn’t make sense!!!”
“It does.”

It’s possible because it’s me.

“Hey, hey. Anyway, calm down a bit.”
“How can I calm down?”

ㅡThud.

I immediately patted Nick’s shoulder and sat next to him. This bastard Nick’s bed is so damn comfy. I wonder what his reaction would be if I told him to sleep with Dad here today?

He’d probably be horrified. But my wives would make even more of a fuss.

“Our Nicknickni.”
“What.”

It just so happens that I have a problem too. So let’s talk about my first son Nick’s problem. Didn’t he say a few days ago that it was hard to find meaning in life?

I don’t have such naive worries. What I’m worried about is different. How the hell should I tell my kids about the process of getting together with their moms…

“Did you solve your problem?”
“…”
“The one you told Dad about.”
“…Did you come to check on that?”
“No? I just wanted to see Nicknickni?”
“Jeez!”
“I wanted to see you, and I was also curious if you solved your problem. Are you really going to keep talking back to Dad? If you keep yelling, I’m sleeping here tonight?”
“Yeah?!”

The moment I said that, Nick jumped up and then.

ㅡThump!

He hit his head on the ceiling and came back down.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

He’s completely horrified. He had the face of an infidel who had seen Kim Kat. Nick forgot that he had hit his head and trembled with his mouth wide open.

“I’m going to hug our Nicknickni here and sleep with him for one night. Just say the word. I’ll let you sleep soundly in this dad’s muscles. I’ll hug you so tight that you won’t be able to move all night.”
“I, I, I, I’m sorry, Father…!”
“Kilkilkik.”

Why is it so fun to tease him?

“Ah, this is so damn funny. Hehehe, geez. Really.”

It’s really starting to feel like the ultimate fun of teasing my son. Teasing your son is like a dad’s right. I can do it all if I give him a good allowance.

“Hey, you brat. Do you hate sleeping with Dad that much?”
“Father. I’m sorry. I think I’ve been too rude.”
“Do you hate it.”
“I like it.”
“Then I’m sleeping over.”
“FATHER!!!!!!”
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

I’m going to die laughing, really!

“Hey, hey. It’s a lie! A lie! Geez. I’m busy at night too.”
“…”
“So, did you solve your problem?”
“Hah, hah… Well, Dad.”
“Say Dad.”
“Yes. Dad.”

Nick took a breath and chose his words carefully.

I waited quietly. Now is not the time to joke around. Should I suddenly show up at night again and try it again? No. I have to protect the privacy of the night.

“I just… I’ve been thinking about it a bit since then.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I still have some of those thoughts, but… in the end, like you said, as long as you exist, this world will be eternal. That’s a little bit.”
“A little bit?”
“I keep thinking about it. It seems like there could be meaning even if I’m not a god, like the Earth, you know.”

Nick was talking about Earth.

It’s a world where everything ends as soon as developed countries launch nuclear bombs. Human civilization will collapse with just one nuclear war.

No matter what kind of life you lived, what you achieved, or how many achievements you made. It doesn’t matter in a nuclear war.

But, does that mean that the people of Earth thought that life was meaningless? There is nothing meaningless as long as it exists in the world.

“That’s how I’ve sorted out my thoughts.”
“But you still have… inferiority complex about transcendent beings?”
“Not really an inferiority complex…”
“It’s not like having an inferiority complex is a bad thing. If you’re someone who aims to grow, an inferiority complex can actually work well.”

If a being doesn’t do anything and doesn’t even want to grow, and is caught up in an inferiority complex, that’s fucked up.

You can call them a 개씨팔럼 (gae-ssi-pal-leom – very strong insult). Those kinds of guys become heretics. It’s a bit much for a dad to say this, but Nick was in that state until he confided in me.

“Nicknickni, you know that too, right?”

Nick knows that too.

“…”

Nick nodded quietly.

“Well, if you want to become a transcendent being, I’ll help you as your dad, but that’s going to be damn hard, you know?”
“…That’s true.”
“But you were born a demigod. You’re better than me. So, try as hard as you want.”

Of course, I can give you help.

“Oh, and. Dad was a damn dancer back in the day. I captivated everyone in the capital of the Karga Kingdom with my dance and choreography.”
“Ah… I heard about that.”
“If you have nothing else to do, this dad won’t say anything even if you become a dance singer. Don’t worry about being a god’s bloodline or anything. If you want to be a musician, become a musician. If you want to be a magician, become a magician.”
“I’m not interested in that! And what does a musician have to do with a magician!”
“Get rid of your narrow-minded thinking. Look wider.”
“You’re saying weird things again!”

Well, as I was chatting with Nick like that.

I could see that his expression had loosened up a bit. After all, if you have any worries, it’s best to consult with your family and work them out.

Right at times like this.

I feel a sense of accomplishment as a father. My heart is filled.

“Well, still, Dad.”
“Yeah.”
“I’ve pretty much solved all my worries. I’m just sorting out my thoughts now. Well, I’ll start studying again soon… There’s no point in just standing still.”
“Hehehe, you brat. Hey. You can only say that you’ve grown up when you do that, you brat. Do you feel how small you’ve been until now?”
“Honestly, I do a little.”

The corners of Nick’s mouth went up.

“Find something you want to do. What about Shuka?”
“Shuka?”
“Yeah. Shuka showed me the novel she wrote. If she publishes it later and becomes a successful writer, that’s also an honor, you brat.”
“Shuka wrote a novel…”
“It’s best to develop your hobbies and find your dreams. You should try that too.”
“Shuka is younger than me, but she seems more mature.”

I don’t think I’d call her mature if you saw her.

“Well, that’s that. Nick, you brat. Huh? If you have any weird worries in the future, it’s best to tell Dad right away. If you keep it to yourself… you might end up sleeping with Dad who comes to visit in the middle of the night.”
“What is this, a horror movie!”
“I’m a bit of a terrifying being.”

Kilkilkik.

“Ah, but Dad.”

As I was about to leave, Nick said as if he had remembered something.

“Why? Do you have something to ask?”
“Ah. It’s nothing much. There was something that came up when I was eating with the kids the other day.”

By kids, he means his siblings.

“What did you guys talk about?”
“Dad has a lot of… aunts, right?”

What?

“Putting aside the other aunts. How did you first meet Mom?”

Why are these bastards all asking the same thing!

“Gaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Heoeoeoeoeok?!”

I immediately shouted “Gah!” and overturned the bed, then opened a gate and ran away!

That was close!
