Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

Black Tower Kitchen.

“Hmm hmm hmm. Soak the leech seaweed~”

(Pip-pip~ Stir-fry the slime meat with garlic~ Add some sesame oil too~)

Sejun had woken up early at dawn and was boiling seaweed soup while singing the “Seaweed Soup Song” with Paespaes.

“Best seaweed is from Gijang~” (TL: It is considered one of the best seaweeds)

(Pip-pip~ But ours is leech seaweed~)

Sejun made some weird jokes in between, but Paespaes responded well.

The reason Sejun was suddenly making seaweed soup at dawn was to help the dragons who had donated blood recover their blood quickly.

As Sejun and Paespaes sang and cooked,

Gororong.

Sejun’s clingy shadow, Theo, was sleeping, clinging to Sejun’s knee.

Meanwhile, the Blackie Family had completely taken over the bed, sprawled out in deep sleep.

A little while later.

2a09:bac5:47e8:b05::119:13

“It’s done.”

The large pot was now filled with a milky-white broth of seaweed soup.

“Cooking.”

Sejun began to replicate the seaweed soup using the ingredients he had prepared.

Thanks to this, a huge pot of seaweed soup was made in no time, enough for hundreds of bowls.

“Aileen, from today, serve a bowl of seaweed soup to the dragons who donated blood or scales.”

He sent the seaweed soup to Aileen.

[The Tower’s Administrator cautiously asks if she can have some too.]

“Of course you can! Ah. Just wait a moment.”

For my dear Aileen, I’ll make it with love and lots of extra meat!

Sejun quickly made a seaweed soup with plenty of meat and sent it to Aileen.

After sending out all the soup,

“Oh? The sun is rising now.”

Morning had come.

(Pip-pip. Sejun~nim, I’m going to sleep now. Let’s make another song next time. Pipihihi.)

Paespaes yawned deeply, suggesting they create another song next time.

It seemed Paespaes had really enjoyed making and singing together with Sejun today.

“Alright. Next time, let’s make a cabbage soup song.”

(Pipihihi. Yes!)

“Paespaes, sleep well.”

(Pip-pip. Okay!)

As soon as Paespaes climbed onto Sejun’s shoulder,

Baerorong.

it immediately started snoring.

Just like Sejun, the entire Sejun Family would fall asleep the moment their heads touched something.

Once Paespaes was asleep,

Step. Step.

Sejun strolled around his farm as usual.

“He’s still swinging that sword so diligently.”

Sejun commented as he watched Sejun No. 3 practicing his sword swings tirelessly.

Sejun No. 3 had only two days left to live.

It made Sejun feel oddly sentimental.

“Yes. Swing to your heart’s content.”

Sejun watched Sejun No. 3 for a while before continuing his walk.

Kwoooong.

Soon, Pink-fur arrived, dropping off Cuengi before leaving.

A little later.

“Alright, let’s go. Summon door.”

After finishing breakfast, Sejun and his party headed to the 10th Tower.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Hey guys, great boss Blackie is here!]

While Blackie proudly announced his arrival to his subordinates,

Clang.

Sejun opened his Void Storage.

Immediately, the blue Energy of Creation was sucked into the Void Storage.

No, to be precise, it was being drawn into the Creator God’s Tablet stored inside the Void Storage.

Sejun had placed the Creator God’s Tablet inside to conveniently offer tributes.

As the Creator God’s Tablet absorbed the surrounding Energy of Creation,

Puk. Puk.

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer Seeds into the body of Leviathan, the serpent that summons tsunamis and 12th seat of the Apostles of Destruction.]

…

..

.

Sejun planted seeds.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Yesterday, great boss Blackie secretly stole a piece of roasted and dried sweet potato from the lunchbox without butler noticing!]

Blackie boasted to his subordinates about his daring feat from the previous day. In the end, he had simply stolen from his own lunchbox.

Blackie was bragging as if he had done something incredible, even though it was something utterly trivial.

Kiki!

Kya-kya!

His subordinates, however, were wildly enthusiastic.

They gazed at Blackie with eyes full of admiration, listening intently so as not to miss a single word.

Once their business in the 10th Tower was finished, Sejun and his companions returned to the Black Tower, had lunch, and took a break.

And then,

“Guys, come in after a little while.”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”

Kueng!

Kking!

Leaving the others behind, Sejun entered the dimensional gate connected to Jǫrmungandr’s stomach alone.

And then,

Squirm. Squirm.

Squirm. Squirm.

The Tears of Destruction were transforming into Destruction Sejuns.

“How many are there this time?”

This time, there were too many to count at a glance. Thanks to Flamie luring a large number of Tears of Destruction, their numbers had significantly increased.

“One, two…”

Sejun started counting the Destruction Sejuns.noveldrama

“Ninety-eight. That’s the last one.”

A total of 98 Destruction Sejuns.

“Alright. Go and harvest those crops.”

Sejun skillfully lured the Destruction Sejuns and made them harvest the crops he had planted.

At that moment,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”

Kueng!

Kking!

Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie ran up and clung to Sejun.

“Meow?! There are way too many ugly Chairman Parks, meow!”

This is dizzying, meow!

Theo belatedly noticed the nearly 100 Destruction Sejuns and made a big decision.

It’s time to fix the original, meow!

Theo decided to spend money to fix Sejun’s face once again.

Lately, he had been earning a lot, so if he burned through his fortune, he could probably upgrade Sejun’s face to a slightly less ugly version.

However,

“Meow?! Where did all the money go, meow?!”

The money Sejun had stored in the Void Storage was nowhere to be found.

That was because Sejun, fearing Theo would recklessly burn through it again, had already offered it all to the Creator God’s Tablet.

“Meow…”

Theo was disappointed but still used the 100 billion Tower Coins of pocket money(?) he had to create golden shining front paws and stepped on Sejun’s face, but

But,

It’s not enough, meow…

The amount was far from sufficient to satisfy Theo.

While letting Theo knead his face,

Kiki!

“Thank you.”

Sejun collected 20 Incomplete Creator God’s Tears that had appeared after the previous 20 Destruction Sejuns disappeared.

Then,

“Here you go.”

He immediately sent them to Emila, the First Apostle of Creation, in exchange for 100 drops of Great Growth Elixir.

“With 100 drops… I guess I’ll do four-four today.”

Four drops each for the others, and 40 for himself.

“Guys, open your mouths.”

Sejun once again used persuasion and force to make his companions drink the Great Growth Elixir.

Gulp.

Then, he drank the remaining 40 drops himself.

[You have gained 400 million experience points.]

[Your lowest stat, Agility, has increased by 4,000.]

[Your proficiency in Mastery of Farming Tools Lv. 2 has increased.]

[Your proficiency in Mastery of Farming Tools Lv. 2 has been filled, and the level has increased.]

[Your proficiency in Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 8 has increased.]

[Your proficiency in Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 8 has been filled, and the level has increased.]

…

..

.

“Hehehe. I leveled up two skills today.”

After Sejun happily checked the messages

“Time to get to work.”

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer seed into the body of Jǫrmungandr, the world-devouring serpent and 3rd seat of the Apostle of Destruction.]

…

..

.

Sejun planted the Destruction Devourer seed.

This time, he did not open the Void Storage.

Since Jǫrmungandr’s body was surrounded by Energy of Destruction, it would be dangerous without Energy of Creation.

While Sejun was diligently planting seeds,

Puk.

“Huh?!”

Suddenly, the ground beneath Sejun collapsed.

As Jǫrmungandr’s life force dwindled, its body’s durability weakened, and unfortunately, the spot Sejun had stepped on was fragile and crumbled.

Kueng!

Thankfully, Cuengi used telekinesis to catch Sejun before he fell further, But,

“Huh?!”

Sejun’s body was already outside of Jǫrmungandr’s body.

And then,

“Wow.”

So that’s the Black Tower…

For the first time, Sejun saw the grand appearance of the Black Tower from outside. He could also see the other Towers.

From this central vantage point, the nine Towers seemed to be encircling Destruction, and the 10th Tower beneath his feet appeared to serve the same purpose.

In reality, Sejun didn’t realize it, but the distance between him and the Towers was over a light-year, an incredibly vast distance.

Meaning, the actual size of the Towers was far more immense than he had ever imagined.

“Oh. So that’s the Black Moon.”

He could also see the Black Moon at the center of Destruction.

Although it was the same black color as the Black Tower, it felt so different that it seemed like an entirely separate shade.

For reference, Flamie had quickly withdrawn its roots the moment Sejun entered Jǫrmungandr’s body, since her power could unintentionally harm Sejun.

But… is there no up?

When Sejun looked upward,

“Huh?!”

Thud.

A massive portion of Jǫrmungandr’s body came into view.

It was so enormous that it couldn’t be taken in at a single glance.

“Cuengi, let’s step back a bit to get a better view.”

Kueng!

[Got it]

At Sejun’s request, Cuengi moved to a better vantage point where they could properly see Jǫrmungandr’s body.

After traveling several dozen kilometers, Sejun was finally able to take in the sight of the enormous, pure-white serpent.

“Wow. It’s truly massive.”

Sejun was in awe as he admired Jǫrmungandr’s enormous form.

He had seen Kabulto’s true body within the mental world before, but witnessing something this grand in reality was an entirely different experience.

Kking…

[I was actually even bigger…]

Caw!

[If only my body was here…]

Blackie and Karurur watched Sejun’s admiration with regret, wishing they could show him their own once-gigantic forms.

Yol-yol!

Ahem! This is me!

On the other hand, Kabulto, the youngest and smallest of the group, puffed up proudly, feeling on top of the world for the first time in ages.

At that moment,

Bwoooom!

With a loud explosion, blue gas burst from both Jǫrmungandr’s mouth and tail.

It was the Energy of Creation that had been accumulating inside, all released at once.

There was no actual smell, of course, But,

“Ugh!”

“Meow!”

Kueng!

Kking!

Witnessing the massive burp and fart gas, the entire group instinctively hurried to cover their noses.

And then,

Yol-yol…

[A burp and even a fart in front of everyone…]

Get rid of that quickly!

A moment ago, Kabulto had been full of pride, but now, overcome with shame, he wanted to disappear from existence.

***

Temple of the Creator God.

“This time, there are a lot more than before.”

Emila observed the beads produced during the process of transforming the Incomplete Creator God’s Tears into the Great Growth Elixir.

Compared to before, the number of beads created had multiplied several times over.

This was because, during the great dragons’ hunt for Tears of Destruction, the beads within the destroyed Tears of Destruction were absorbed by other surviving ones.

With the gathered beads in hand,

“Creator God, here they are.”

Emila presented them to the Creator God.

“Well done.”

The Creator God poured the beads onto the ground.

“Find your pair.”

Chajajak.

At the Creator God’s command, the beads began to roll rapidly across the floor, merging with other beads that were already spread out.

Once assembled, the image was about 10% complete.

There were still too many missing parts, making it impossible to discern the memory of the Incomplete Creator God.

However,

“This place…?”

The location was somewhat identifiable.

“So it’s here.”

The image depicted the very place where the Creator God currently resided, the Temple of the Creator God.

More specifically, it was one of the many rooms inside the temple, a place where the two of them often played puzzle games together.

“What are you trying to tell me?”

There were still far too many missing beads to answer the Creator God’s question.

***

Outskirts of Destruction.

“Cuengi, over there.”

Kueng!

After taking in the sights, Sejun moved around with Cuengi, exploring the surroundings.

Squirm.

He personally captured a Destruction Sejun.

Unlike the smallest Tears of Destruction that Flamie had been luring in, Sejun targeted slightly larger ones, about 1.5 times bigger.

Once transformed, the Destruction Sejun,

Kueng!

Cuengi used telekinesis to lift it back through the hole Sejun had fallen through, sending it inside.

It immediately became a diligent worker.

Even though its level was low, it was still a highly capable worker, especially since it could even use You’re a Field skill.

“Cuengi, let’s catch that one next.”

Kueng!

Excited by their success, Sejun continued searching for Tears of Destruction of manageable size, turning them into Destruction Sejuns.

At that moment,

Bwooom.

Once again, blue gas erupted from both Jǫrmungandr’s mouth and tail.

Kihihit. Kking?!

[Hehe. Kabulto, did you fart again?!]

“No manners.”

Kkiruk!

Sharalang!

…

…

…

Sensing an opportunity, the Blackie Family enthusiastically teased their youngest.

“That’s it. From today on, Kabulto is Fart Captain Kabulto!”

Sejun too joined in.

“Puhuhut. Fart Captain Kabulto sounds great, meow!”

Kueng!

Kking!

And, as always, Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie immediately threw in their votes in agreement with Sejun.

The surroundings were filled with an ominous Energy of Destruction, but as usual, the Sejun Family was having a great time.

Yol-yol…

Well, except for Kabulto, who seemed a bit unhappy.
