Solo Farming In The Tower

: What Are You Guys Really?

TL: Hanguk

The moment Sejun marked the waypoint on the 99th floor of the Golden Tower and returned to the Black Tower.

“To think a human could defeat an Apostle of Destruction…”

The nine leaders of the dragon race, gathered in the Golden Tower’s administrator area, were still in shock.

Fifteen days ago, when Sejun began fighting Delia,

[Delia, the Demon of Corruption and 8th Seat Apostle of Destruction, has invaded the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.]

Woong woong.

The administrator’s crystal orb began to vibrate violently, sending out a blood-red alarm.

“What’s going on?”

Artemis Yul, the administrator of the Golden Tower and the head of the Yul family, checked the crystal orb.

And then,

“Tier, Ramter, come to the Golden Tower! The main body of Delia, the Demon of Corruption and 8th Seat Apostle of Destruction, has appeared on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower!”

As per their agreement, he called Tier, the leader of the Great Purple Dragons, and Ramter, the leader of the Great Red Dragons, who were on either side of the Golden Tower.

– An Apostle of Destruction has appeared on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower?

Hearing this, Tier and Ramter informed Kaiser and Kellion that a Apostle of Destruction had appeared in the Golden Tower.

– What?! Apostle of Destruction appeared on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower, where our Sejun went?!

– Then we’ll go too!

As the four leaders quickly flew to the Golden Tower, the other dragon leaders, curious, also came to the Golden Tower, resulting in all nine dragon leaders gathering, though not for a meeting.

And so, the nine dragon clan leaders gathered in the Golden Tower’s administrator area, watching the battle through the crystal orb.

Initially, Artemis, along with the other two leaders, was prepared to intervene, expecting the extinction of all life on the 35th floor of the tower.

“Wait! Let’s watch a little longer! Our Sejun is still fighting!”

“Yeah! You know our Sejun, right? The Tower Farmer of the Black Tower!”

After confirming that Sejun was unharmed, Kaiser and the other four dragons (Kellion, Ramter, Tier, Brachio) strongly insisted on watching a bit more.

If the three leaders appeared on the 35th floor of the tower at that moment,

Sejun’s life could not be guaranteed.

Given how well Sejun was holding up against the Apostle of Destruction, it seemed there would be no problem if the leaders did appear.

But there was something off.

Kaiser, who had seen sunfish Sejun faint dozens of times, did not let his guard down.

Moreover, since Sejun had recently brought back the body of the 7th seat of Apostle of Destruction, Krueger and the 9th seat of Apostle of Destruction, Alice, from the Green Tower, it was worth trusting him.

Although Brachio didn’t seem to know about this.

If Sejun were to defeat the Apostle of Destruction, Delia, in front of the other leaders?

‘Kuhehe. No one would be able to look down on our Sejun then.’

Thus, the decision to observe was made with a majority of 5 to 4.

“Fine. But if Delia so much as moves, we’ll start the battle immediately.”

Artemis, seeing Delia unmoving, though uncertain of the situation, agreed to step back and observe.

One hour later.

“What’s this? For a human, he’s holding up well?”

“Hey now! What do you mean, ‘for a human’?! Why is our Sejun just ‘for a human’?!

“Yeah! Grave! Our Sejun may be weak, but he’s not someone to be treated like that!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

At the words of the brown dragon Grave, Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, Tier, and Brachio reacted fiercely.

One day later.

[Tower Farmer Park Sejun of the Black Tower has achieved the great feat of spreading the energy of creation in the Golden Tower.]

[Some of the balance of the Golden Tower has been restored.]

With the message, the frequency of lightning strikes in the Golden Tower slightly decreased.

“Energy of creation?”

“The blue mist was the energy of creation?!”

The leaders realized that the blue mist emitted by the plants Sejun had planted was the energy of creation.

“Kuhaha. Artemis, you should be grateful to our Sejun.”

“Yeah. What would you have done without our Sejun?!”

“Fuhaha. Give Sejun some scales later!”

Thanks to this, the Sejun-supporting dragons became even more boastful.

Seven days later.

The size of the red mist emitted by Delia, who was completely enveloped in blue mist, gradually decreased.

As the tide of battle began to visibly shift in Sejun’s favor,

“Ahem. Shall we have a drink while we watch? You know the Samyangju our Sejun made, right?”

“Shall we?”

“Duhahaha. Our Sejun also makes great snacks, doesn’t he?”

Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier began to pull out the Samyangju and snacks Sejun had made, and started recruiting for the pro-Sejun faction.

A few days later, while they were happily drinking,

“Huh?!”

The nine dragon leaders suddenly realized the battle was over as they saw Cuengi putting Delia’s body into the Void Storage.

No, could that even be called a battle? He just planted some plants and won?

So that’s how he won…

The leaders were in shock.

“Kuhahaha. Did you see that?! As expected of our Sejun! I’m in a good mood! I’ll treat for the second round!”

“What?! Our Sejun won, so why are you buying, Kaiser?! I’ll buy the second round!”

“Our Sejun is the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, so of course I should buy!”

“What nonsense?! Our Sejun is my grandson’s hyung! So it’s only right that I treat!”

Kaiser and Kellion, who had come to their senses first, began arguing over who would pay for the second round.

***

99th floor of the Black Tower.

Sejun, who had come home and taken a nap, woke up.

“Alright. Let’s give you a name.”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

Sejun opened his naming shop to decide on the name for the new black butterfly that Blackie had brought in.

Dun dun!

Heheh. The time has finally come!

That’s right. It has finally come. That time…

Why am I more nervous?

Why is everyone acting like this?

Gulp.

Blackie and his subordinates were nervous at Sejun’s words.

At that moment,

“But before that, I think we need to have a serious conversation. What are you guys really?”

Sejun spoke heavily.

Kking?!

[What we really are?!]

No way?! Has the butler noticed that we’re Apostles of Destruction?! What should we do?

A tension far greater than when they were waiting for a name engulfed them.

If they were found out to be Apostles of Destruction here, not only would their happy life disappear,

They might be captured by the dragons, sealed away deep underground, or kicked out of the 99th floor of the tower and have to live a hungry life.

As Blackie and his subordinates worried about what would happen if their identities were exposed,

There really is something going on.

Sejun was convinced as he watched Blackie and his subordinates avoid his gaze with their heads down.

When he thought about it, it was strange.

Blackie’s voice that he heard when he lost consciousness from the dragons’ overwhelming praise in the past.

The Fenrir’s Core fragments that were absorbed whenever he woke up.

Eomdol, who suddenly appeared, looking similar to Krueger, whom Blackie had brought.

Blackie, who was unconscious when fighting the main body of the Apostle of Destruction Alice, and Ggomi, who appeared after the battle and resembled Alice.

And when Nellie, who had been refusing to answer, started answering in fear after Blackie and his subordinates slept around her,

This time too, the new black butterfly appeared beside Blackie and his subordinates, who were sleeping next to the soulless Delia.

Although its appearance was different, it had the feel of Delia.

Everything led to one conclusion.

Hehehe. You can’t fool the eyes of Sherlock Sejun.

Sejun, engrossed in his own deductions.

“Blackie, you know how to exorcise, right? And you guys are the Apostles of Destruction that Blackie exorcised.”

He confidently pointed at Blackie and his subordinates, speaking as if identifying the culprit.

Sejun was only half correct. No, actually 75% correct.

Kking?

!!!

!!!

!!!

At Sejun’s words, Blackie panicked, and his subordinates froze.

Kking… Kking!

[Th… That’s right! In fact, the great Blackie is a wolf that knows how to perform exorcisms!]

Blackie, who was nervous that their true identity might be revealed, hurriedly agreed with Sejun’s misunderstanding.

“Oh. Then you’re an exorcist wolf?”

Kking! Kking? Kking! Kking!

[That’s right! You could say I’m also called an exorcist wolf! Anyway, butler, you don’t have to worry about the Apostles that the great Blackie has exorcised! The great Blackie guarantees it!]

Suddenly, Blackie’s subordinates found themselves labeled as beings who had been exorcised by Blackie.

“Alright. But don’t mention to anyone else that they’re Apostles of Destruction. The dragons really hate them.”

Kking!

[Got it!]

nod, nod

Blackie and his subordinates nodded their heads vigorously in agreement with Sejun’s words.

Phew. We can continue to eat delicious food.

The four sighed in relief at Sejun’s words.

“Oh, and I decided to name this one ‘Kkabi.’ It’s short for ‘Kkaman Nabi’.” (TL: 까만 나비 (Kkaman Nabi) = Black Butterfly)

Kihihit.

“As expected!”

Kkiruk!

Shalarrang…

At Sejun’s words, three laughed, and one cried.

Thus, Sejun made Kabi, who was an Apostle of Destruction until yesterday, cry with just one name.

“Everyone, gather around. We need to go pick up the remaining Devourers.”

“Ready, meow!”

Theo, who had been clinging to Sejun’s lap the whole time, answered.

Kuhehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. I can charge the Thunderbolt Staff again!]

Cuengi also rushed over, holding the Thunderbolt Staff.

Iona, who had a backlog of work due to being away for half a month, returned to the Wizard Tower as soon as she got back yesterday.

Piyot and Uren were undergoing special training with the Minotaur King.

When Sejun arrived at the waypoint,

Piyo!

Kkuik!

He saw the two, Piyot and Uren, training hard, each holding up one of the Minotaur King’s arms.

Now that I’ve gotten stronger, I should be able to withstand two of the Minotaur King’s fingers, right?

Thinking about his increased stats, Sejun placed his hand on the red crystal.

And then,

[Moving to the 99th floor of the Golden Tower.]

He soon disappeared.

***

99th floor of the Golden Tower.

“So you’re saying that an outsider appeared yesterday, knocked you out, and registered a waypoint?”

“Yes… I’m sorry.”

Yohan, the Elf Grand Warrior who guarded the waypoint as the boss of the 99th floor of the tower, answered in a dejected voice to Cecilia’s question.

“An outsider… This is a big problem.”

Cecilia’s expression turned serious.

Artemis Yul, the great Golden Dragon and administrator of the Golden Tower, extremely disliked outsiders coming to the 99th floor of the tower.

So, except for a few who had Artemis’s permission, none of the Golden Tower’s residents came up to the 99th floor.

This was to avoid incurring Artemis’s wrath.

But someone came here, defeated Yohan, the boss of the 99th floor of the tower, and then disappeared?

If Artemis found out about this, it would be a major issue.

For both the outsider and for them.

The outsider who had invaded the 99th floor of the tower would undoubtedly face Artemis’s wrath, but

they, who had failed to properly manage the 99th floor, would not be free from that wrath either.

‘We’ll have to take responsibility.’

The only fortunate thing was that Artemis had not noticed yet.

‘Luckily, it seems Artemis-nim hasn’t realized it. As long as the outsider doesn’t appear again…’

Please, don’t appear again.

As Cecilia was praying earnestly,

[You have arrived on the 99th floor of the Golden Tower.]

“Huh?!”

“Eh?!”

Suddenly, Sejun appeared.

“Capture him!”

“Yes!”

Cecilia hurriedly gave instructions to the elves who had come with her, but

Clink.

“Meow! You can’t touch Chairman Park, meow!”

Kueng!

[If you touch Dad, Cuengi won’t stand still!]

With the appearance of Theo and Cuengi, the situation was quickly resolved.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Slaves, meow!”

Indeed, when you’re with the great Chairman Park, you end up with lots of slaves, meow!

Stamp. Stamp.

Theo eagerly stamped the Five Towers’ Slave Seal on the foreheads of the elves who had been subdued while praising Sejun. As a result, the beautiful elves now had a cute paw print of Theo’s on their foreheads.

And then,

“Meow! The money keeps coming out, meow!”

Press, press.

When Theo stamped Cecilia, who continued to produce money, about ten times,

[Guard Theo Park, has enslaved Cecilia, the Golden Tower’s Tower Farmer.]

[While Guard Theo Park has Golden Tower’s Tower Farmer Cecilia as a slave, you can command Golden Tower’s Tower Farmer Cecilia.]

[Due to your job trait, you will borrow 0.5% of Cecilia’s stats.]

[Strength increases by 15, Stamina by 10, Agility by 55, and Magic Power by 45.]

Messages appeared in front of Sejun.

She was a Tower Farmer?

Come to think of it, he remembered hearing Cecilia’s name from the raccoon tribe he met at the harvest festival in the past.

They said she grew rice and wheat, right?

“Cecilia, lead me to your village.”

Hehehe. I should ask for a few wheat seeds.

Sejun, excited at the thought of growing wheat and having an unlimited supply of flour, grinned.

“Yes…”

Cecilia obediently guided Sejun.

A little later,

“Great Golden Dragon, please save us!”

Suddenly, the elves knelt down in front of the Golden Dragon statue, pleading.

“Huh?!”

Did they trick me?

Sejun, startled by the sight of the Golden Dragon statue in front of him, was about to flee using the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet when,

-Welcome! Park Sejun, Tower Farmer of the Black Tower!

Artemis warmly welcomed Sejun.

And then,

?!!

We’re doomed…

The kneeling elves began to tremble in fear.
