Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

99th floor of the Black Tower.

Bochi, who had been sitting on the floor with a miserable expression, brushed off his rear and stood up.

And then,

Kkyuk.

[Sejun-nim, to be honest, Momori wasn’t really my type either.]

He tried to act like he was fine while speaking to Sejun. Three hours after Momori left.

Three hours after Momori had left.

Master Bo, that’s way too late.

Sejun, seeing Bochi looking as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment, placed him on his palm, patted his head, and comforted him.

Bochi, now consoled by Sejun.

Kkyuk! Kkyuk!

[In times like these, it’s all about training! Sejun No.3! Let’s train together!]

He grabbed his sword and began training with Sejun No.3, who had been tirelessly swinging his sword for a while now.

A little while later.

Kkyuk!

[Sejun-nim, I’ve attained enlightenment!]

Bochi moved his sword without even touching it. It was mind sword technique.

[Bochi, the Hero of <Hamk>, the One Who Wields a Single Sword.]

He had reached a new level.

“Master Bo, congratulations!”

To think he could melt even the sorrow of heartbreak into swordsmanship.

‘Does he get stronger the more he gets rejected?’

Sejun couldn’t shake the feeling that Bochi had reached his current level thanks to his heartbreak.

Just then,

[The Dragon Fruit with the Ambiguous Dragon Park Sejun’s Energy has gained a great enlightenment while using Beginner Magic Swordsmanship.]

[The Dragon Fruit with the Ambiguous Dragon Park Sejun’s Energy’s enlightenment is transmitted to Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun.]

[The level of the Beginner Magic Swordsmanship skill has increased by 3.]

[Beginner Magic Swordsmanship has reached Lv. 9.]

A message appeared before Sejun.

Sejun No.3, standing beside him, also seemed to have been influenced by Master Bo, as his Beginner Magic Swordsmanship skill level had increased by 5 as well.

Hehehe. Just a few more of Master Bo’s heartbreaks, and my swordsmanship skill will shoot up in no time!

Sejun grinned mischievously and began plotting ways to get Bochi rejected again.

“Meow?!”

Chairman Park’s face is getting ugly really fast, meow!

Of course, Theo immediately gave him an intense kneading therapy session.

“Let’s eat dinner now.”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

Kueng!

Kking!

The group cheered at the mention of a meal.

Sejun headed to the cooking area with his companions to prepare dinner.

“Master Bo, what would you like to eat?”

To celebrate Bochi’s advancement, Sejun asked what he wanted to eat.

Kkyuk! Kkyuk!

[Roasted peanuts! And maybe two roasted walnuts as well.]

“Got it.”

In addition to the peanuts and walnuts Bochi requested, Sejun also added pine nuts and prepared some strawberries and green grapes as fruit, placing them in front of Bochi.

And then,

“Cuengi, isn’t it delicious?”

Kuhehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]

Sejun and Cuengi made honey garaetteoks for the first time in a while and enjoyed them together.

Theo and the Blackie Family had their usual meal of grilled fish and roasted and dried sweet potatoes, so the only one eating the same thing as Sejun was Cuengi.

After they all finished their delicious dinner,

“Ugh. I’m so full. I ate too much.”

As Sejun patted his bloated belly and lay down on the bench,

“Puhuhut.”

Kuhehehe.

Kihihit.

Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie climbed onto Sejun’s body, each claiming their own spot.

Kkyuk!

[I’m heading back to train!]

Master Bo, saying he needed to solidify his enlightenment, returned to training with Sejun No.3.

“Wow. The sky looks amazing.”

Sejun admired the sky as it darkened into the night.

Though he saw it every day, the sky always had a different look, occasionally offering breathtaking moments.

As the night deepened and the sky was completely engulfed in darkness,

“One, two…”

Sejun began counting the number of stars he had placed in the sky.

“Nineteen.”

A total of nineteen stars were shining in the sky, combining the twelve Zodiac stars and the seven stars Sejun had placed later.

Each star possessed unique powers, such as [Ice Cube], [Piercing], [Blind], and [Darkness].

“I wonder if I can use Starlink now?”

Sejun suddenly thought about his power Starlink while looking at the stars.

Last time, he had passed out due to insufficient mental strength, but now, his mental strength had grown nearly tenfold compared to then.

Well, if I fail, I’ll just pass out again.

Sejun had never been in danger of dying before, so this time, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Determined to use his Power, Sejun spoke.

“Starlink.”

He attempted to connect with a star that drew his attention.

[<Power: Starlink> connects with [Delicious].]

And then,

-Sejun-nim, hello!

Along with [Delicious]’s voice, vast visual information began pouring into Sejun’s mind.

“……”

Sejun quietly analyzed the information flooding his mind.

And then

Tap.

He lightly touched the end part of the dried sweet potato that Blackie had left while eating. Somehow, he had a conviction that touching that spot would make it more delicious.

As soon as Sejun placed his hand on the dried sweet potato,

Kking! Kking!

[Butler! That’s the great Blackie’s! I was saving it for later!]

Blackie, who had been sprawled on Sejun’s chest, suddenly sprang up and bit into the dried sweet potato Sejun had touched.

And then,

Kking?!

Why does it taste so good?!

Blackie was baffled. Of course, it had been delicious before, but now it was even more delicious.

Kking?!

[Butler! What did you do?!]

When the excited Blackie barked while looking at Sejun

Kurrrr.

Only to find that Sejun had already fainted.

Connecting to a star and using its power were entirely different matters.

“Meow?! Chairman Park, when did you fall asleep, meow?! Cuengi, let’s move him together, meow!”

104.28.193.250

Kueng!

Theo lifted Sejun by his back, while Cuengi hoisted his legs onto his head, and together, they carried him away.

Meanwhile,

Kihihit.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Blackie, perched atop Sejun’s chest as they moved, happily munched on the now even more delicious dried sweet potato.

A little while later,

Kurrr.

Gororong.

Kkirorong.

…

..

.

The quiet bedroom was soon filled with the sounds of Sejun, Theo, and the Blackie Family snoring.

Kkyuk! Kkyuk!

[No! Sejun No.3-nim, you need to twist it a bit more here!]

Meanwhile, Bochi and Sejun No.3 burned the midnight oil, continuing their swordsmanship training.

***

Inside Blackie’s mental world.

“I’m sorry.”

“”We’re sorry.””

As always, the Blackie Family was diligently apologizing to the souls.

Thanks to their continuous efforts, about 100,000 souls had now forgiven them.

Gururuk.

A red energy seeped out from the souls and began coalescing, manifesting another Corruption.

But this time, the Blackie Family had already prepared a strategy to deal with it.

“Go! Mukbupal!”

“Yes!”

At Blackie’s command, Mukbupal quickly exited the mental world.

“Eight Shadow Ink Clones!”

Puuuuu!

Using his Power, he created clones.

Then

Kurrr.

Mukbupal propped up Sejun’s sleeping body and pried his eyes open, directing his gaze toward Blackie.

And in that moment

Paaat.

A golden light began to shine down into Blackie’s mental world.

That was it. Corruption could only be destroyed when it was within Sejun’s line of sight.

The reason?

It was due to Sejun’s <Title: One Who Glimpsed Long Into the Beginning>.

The primordial power contained within the title obliterated the will of Corruption.

As the will of Corruption vanished, Mukbupal gently laid Sejun back down and returned to Blackie’s mental world.

“Mmm.”

Sejun turned over and comfortably fell back into a deep sleep.

***

The next day.

“You guys wait here for a bit.”

After stopping by the 10th Tower to pick up the Destruction Devourer Seed, Sejun stood before the dimensional gate and spoke.

If Destruction Theo were to be born again like last time, it would only reduce the number of workers.

“Got it, meow! We’ll follow in 10 seconds, meow!”

“Alright.”

As Sejun entered <Earthworm> first,

Slosh. Slosh.

Six drops of Destruction began transforming into Sejun’s appearance.

“Welcome, everyone.”

While Sejun distributed Destruction Devourer Seeds to the workers,

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

Kueng!

Kking!

Theo, Cuengi, and the Blackie Family rushed through the dimensional gate and ran toward Sejun.

“Huh?! Two are missing?”

Sejun looked around and commented.

The number of workers had decreased from 12 to 10.

Kya-kya!

The Destruction Devourers explained to Sejun why two of them were missing.

“So, all of a sudden, Sejun No.2 and No.4 turned into blue droplets of water?”

What the heck?

As Sejun frowned in confusion,

Kya-kya!

One of the Destruction Devourers extended a leaf, revealing two transparent droplets of liquid.

[Tear of the Incomplete Creator God]

“…?!”

Why did purifying Tears of Destruction result in something like this?

“Blackie, what’s the connection between Destruction and the Creator God?”

Kking! Kking!

[The great Blackie is super busy these days! He has no time to play with you!]

While pushing away the Destruction Devourers that were clamoring for attention, Blackie responded to Sejun’s question.

Then,

Kking! Kking!

[Of course! Destruction-nim was originally supposed to be the next Creator God!]

Blackie answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

What?! How was I supposed to know that?! Even the Dragons don’t know that!

Feeling unjustly belittled, Sejun immediately decided to discipline Blackie.

“Boobooboobup.”

Kihihit.

Of course, the discipline turned out to be nothing more than blowing raspberries on Blackie’s belly.

Hoohoo. That was satisfying.

Since his anger had subsided, it still counted as discipline.

“Puhuhut.”

Kuhehehe.

Next, he blew raspberries on Theo and Cuengi, both of whom had already presented their bellies in anticipation.

Then, before he knew it, five Destruction Sejuns had approached and were lying on their backs, exposing their bellies as well.

It seemed their aggression had lessened quite a bit after being somewhat purified.

“Hey! Not you guys! Absolutely not!”

As Sejun recoiled in horror, the five Destruction Sejuns drooped in disappointment and went back to planting seeds.

After chasing away the Destruction Sejuns

“So you’re saying the next Creator God is Destruction?”

Sejun turned back to Blackie for clarification.

Kking!

[Yep!]

“How did that happen?”

Kking! Kking!

[I don’t really know! One day, his personality started becoming a bit twisted, so we stopped playing with him. Then suddenly, he fell into Corruption and became Destruction!]

Yol-yol… Yol-yol?

[But I was right there when Destruction-nim became corrupted… I think the ‘Corruption’ we saw might have been what corrupted Destruction-nim?]

The youngest of the Blackie Family, Kabulto, cautiously shared his thoughts.

“Corruption?”

Kking! Kking…

[Yes! When we were apologizing to the souls…]

Blackie then explained to Sejun about the Corruption they had witnessed.

“Hmm. So, I have to just watch?”

So, my title had this kind of effect too?

Kking!

[Yep!]

“Alright. From now on, I’ll keep an eye on it whenever Blackie is apologizing.”

As their conversation wrapped up,

Kking?! Kking!

[Hey! The great Blackie was about to explain Corruption to Butler, and you interrupted?! Didn’t I tell you not to be rash?!]

Kabulto, who had stolen Blackie’s moment, got thoroughly scolded by him.

While Blackie was busy reprimanding Kabulto, Sejun examined the Tear of the Incomplete Creator God.

[Tear of the Incomplete Creator God]

→ A single tear shed by an incomplete Creator God in sorrow.

→ Contains a powerful energy of creation.

→ Upon consumption, grants 20 million experience points and increases all stats by 50.

“Oh.”

Not bad? Tears of Destruction really was a gift that kept on giving.

I thought it was three birds with one stone, but it’s four birds with one stone.

“Something this good should be consumed immediately.”

Sejun was about to swallow the tear when,

[<Title: One Who Glimpsed Long Into the Beginning>partially understands the essence of the Tear of the Incomplete Creator God.]

A faint golden light flickered in Sejun’s eyes, and an additional line of explanation appeared for the tear.

-Can be used to create 5 drops of the Great Growth Elixir.

Ah. So Tears of the Creator God are an ingredient for the Great Growth Elixir.

Now that he knew this, Sejun decided to save the tear for when he met Emila, the First Apostle of the Creator God, who could make the Great Growth Elixir.

With that settled, Sejun continued his work, and soon, the five Destruction Sejuns who had earlier exposed their bellies also transformed into droplets of water.

Should I have done it?

For a brief moment, Sejun felt a pang of sympathy.

But then, when he imagined himself actually blowing raspberries on his own clones’ bellies,

“No way!”

Get a grip, Park Sejun!

Shuddering, Sejun shook his head vigorously.

As evening arrived,

Kkyuk!

[Sejun-nim, I can now wield two swords at once!]

Bochi had ascended to yet another level.

At this point, it was undeniable, 80% of Bochi’s swordsmanship progress was fueled by heartbreak.
