The Great Black Dragon’s territory was a dark cave filled with the scent of dust and old bones.
Clunk. Anton placed his claw on the giant crystal ball in the center of his cave.
He closed his eyes and poured his mana into the crystal.
Oooong…
Blue light pulsed from the magic circles carved into the surface of the ball. They glowed brighter and brighter, sucking in Anton’s power.
“Kugh,” Anton groaned. The magic was draining him.
He focused, his golden eyes narrowed with determination. “Find it,” he whispered, gritting his teeth as he pushed more mana into the spell.
Using this magic was hard on Anton’s body. He could only do it once a month before. But Sejun’s crops helped him recover faster. Now, he can use it once a week.
Kaiser quietly watched his son Anton using magic without the other dragons knowing, thinking he was a foolish fellow, and then left.
A little later,
“Hah. Hah. Another failure today…” Anton, his mana depleted, slumped to the floor, panting.
The Temple of the Creator God.
[Iline was destroyed by the invasion of the seventh disaster, the Planet-Destroying Turtle.]
[Baimia was destroyed by the invasion of the seventh disaster, the Planet-Destroying Turtle.]
[Huangga was destroyed by the invasion of the seventh disaster, the Planet-Destroying Turtle.]
Dozens of messages appeared before the Creator God, stating that the world had been destroyed.
“Hmm.”
The Creator God groaned in sorrow, feeling sorry for the worlds that had to be destroyed without using all the life he had given them, and in sadness that the worlds he had created were being destroyed.
“Creator God, shouldn’t we get help from Park Sejun?” Amur Leng, the Creator God’s second apostle, asked cautiously. He was afraid that he might be misunderstood as disrespecting the Creator God or implying that he didn’t want to do his current job.
“Creator God, I agree with Amur’s opinion,” Emila Iveners, the Creator God’s first apostle, supported Amur’s words.
“I also want to receive help from Park Sejun,” the Creator God agreed with their opinions.
However, Park Sejun is weak…
It was a situation where he wanted to receive Sejun’s help but couldn’t. The problem this time was also Sejun’s ability. Sejun was already exerting influence on the world to the maximum extent that his soul and body allowed. No, even more than that.
Sejun was already struggling enough just to handle the influence he had created. If he were given more work here, Sejun’s existence would not be able to handle the influence. In severe cases, he could even disappear. Anything that far exceeds one’s ability is not good. Even if it’s a good thing.
“Fenrir… no. Blackie, I’m counting on you.”
That’s why the Creator God didn’t call his third apostle, Blackie, here but kept him by Sejun’s side, to assist him from the side so that Sejun wouldn’t be swallowed by the huge wave of influence he had created.
And because even if I called, he wouldn’t listen to me. It was also because he knew Blackie’s dirty personality well.
The 99th floor of the Black Tower.
Hee hee hee. Squeak!
[Hee hee. Butler! Wake up! It’s time to eat!]
Lick. Lick.
Hungry Blackie diligently licked Sejun’s face to wake him up. Blackie thought he was being helpful in his own way.
However,
“Ugh… Blackie, go play somewhere else.”
Squeak!
[I hate you, Butler!]
Enraged, Blackie lifted his front paw with all his might and
Thud!
“Ugh!”
Strongly stepped on Sejun and ran outside.
“Ugh… why are you doing this from the morning… ?” Sejun, not knowing why Blackie was doing this, finally opened his eyes and
[Authority: All stat potentials have increased by 30 due to the effect of the Ocean Sunfish Core.]
Checked the message and
“Theo…” Called Theo. He needed a massage to relieve his muscle pain.
And
“Meow…” Theo, who was called by Sejun, started to knead Sejun with his front paws while half-asleep.
Press. Press.
He had received a massage before going to bed yesterday, but the effect was gone.
Kkueng!
[Dad, good morning!]
Filial son Kkuengi also woke up earlier than usual and massaged Sejun’s body with physical and magical power.
Sejun, who regained his normal condition with the two’s massage.
“Blackie, where are you? Let’s eat roasted sweet potato jerky.”
Hee hee hee. Squeak!
[Hee hee. The Great Blackie is here!]
“Hehehe. Got you.”
Squeak?!
Lured Blackie with roasted sweet potato jerky and
“You dared to step on me earlier?! Receive the judgment of justice! Pffft.”
Hee hee hee!
Punished him with butt farts.
“Pfft.”
Koohehehe.
Theo and Kkuengi, as if it were natural, held out their bellies to Sejun from the side.
Sejun spent time giving butt farts to the three of them in turn and
“Patrick, can I go now?” After receiving confirmation from Patrick,
[The divided 11 authorities are combined into one, and for 13 seconds, Authority: The Power to Support the Sky of Thirteen Grabs is activated.]
[Strength increases by 1300%.]
Clunk.
He moved to the 10th floor and upgraded the tower with the creation energy collected during the day.
And
“Hamer, is the enhancement potion still far off?”
[The God of Farming, Hamer, says he is working hard, so stop urging him.]
After urging Hamer once, he planted the Extinction Pioneer Seed and returned to the Black Tower to make breakfast again.
“It feels empty without Sejun No. 1.” The absence of Sejun No. 1, who used to prepare breakfast for him, meant Sejun was busy from the morning.
In the middle, Lamter, who was too excited, came and asked him to make cherry wine and seafood stew that he had eaten yesterday, but
“What you ate yesterday isn’t free. Give me money.”
“Pfft. That’s right, meow! There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, meow! Lamter, give me the money, meow!”
-What?!
He taught Lamter a lesson about money, and Lamter returned to normal.
When breakfast was over,
Slurp.
“Kuh.”
He enjoyed a brief moment of leisure before starting his morning work, drinking the coffee that Kkuengi had made.
When coffee time was over, Theo and Kkuengi went to work in the herb field,
Clang.
Sejun opened the shimmering entrance to his subspace warehouse and stepped inside to begin his usual morning routine.
He planted the Pioneer and Devourer seeds, along with the durian, pine, and cabbage seeds he had bought the day before. Then, he left the subspace warehouse.
He planned to harvest the crops in the afternoon, when Theo and Kkueng finished their work and could help.
He remembered that sometimes when he harvested stats, they could change back suddenly, which caused bad muscle pain. He wanted to avoid that in the morning.
Since he wasn’t harvesting, he had some free time.
“The Moon Sprout seeds must need moonlight, so I’ll expose them when the Blue Moon rises. And the Generous Green Onion seeds…”
Sejun wondered how to make the special seeds he bought yesterday grow.
The green onion really did give a lot.
His thoughts drifted to all the ways green onions had helped him.
The green onion, with its fast-growing leaves, was useful as food, a cooking ingredient, a plate, and even as tools like rope.
If he hadn’t had the green onion when he was stuck, things would have been very hard.
And the green onion helped him make deals with the Black Minotaurs.
Also, he could catch Locusts with the strong Blade Green Onion, and the Detox Green Onion saved Sejun many times with its detox power.
The green onion is truly amazing.
Sejun gazed at the tiny green seed in his palm, a warm feeling spreading through him. He felt a surge of gratitude for this small, unassuming seed.
“I don’t know your name, but thank you too.”
With gratitude.
At that moment…
Poof.
The Generous Green Onion seed began to glow softly.
“Huh?”
What was happening?
Sejun looked closely at the seed.
[Generous Green Onion Seed]
???
You must harvest to check the options.
The seed felt someone’s gratitude and wanted to help others, so it became a World Tree Seed.
The seed’s description had changed.
“World Tree Seed?”
So suddenly?
Sejun was even more careful with the green seed that had become a World Tree Seed.
Just then…
[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: The Generous Green Onion Seed has become a World Tree Seed and now has a mission. Plant the Generous Green Onion Seed in the forgotten world of Omid.]
[Reward: Omid is reconnected with other worlds, all stat potential +1000, all stats +500, Mentality +100, Divinity +10]
A quest message appeared in front of Sejun.
“Why does it give so much?”
Sejun knew this quest would be hard because the rewards were so good.
“Well… I can’t get there anyway.”
He couldn’t go to another world except through the system, unlike other towers.
“-Batbat, if you find a place called Omid while traveling, wake me up.”
He left a note for Batbat, just in case.
And then…
“Seed, I’m sorry. It’s hard now, but I’ll plant you in Omid later.”
He carefully held the World Tree Green Onion seed, comforting it.
“But when will this one grow?”
Sejun took out the Seed of Abundance he had planted and looked at it. He had planted it almost a month ago, but it still wasn’t growing.
[Seed of Abundance]
???
You must harvest to check the options.
It has absorbed the energy of abundance and wants to grow a little, but it’s not ready yet.
“Not yet?”
Plop.
Sejun carefully planted the Seed of Abundance back in the ground.
He had asked Leia through Theo and the merchant god Herr if there was another way, but…
“A way to grow the Seed of Abundance? I don’t know either.”
It wasn’t helpful.
“Now I should start getting the food ready for the meeting.”
Do I have all the ingredients?
Sejun went to the kitchen to check if he had everything he needed to make food for the third Dragon Council, while also making lunch.
If he was missing anything, he needed to buy it now.
Sejun checked the ingredients.
“Hmm… I’m out of milk.”
He was sad to see the milk spring was empty.
Milk was important because Sejun was making a whipped cream cake.
I should go to the merchant street tomorrow and buy some milk. And other things too…
Sejun was planning to go shopping on the 75th floor of the tower tomorrow. As he was cooking…
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m back, meow! I smell delicious grilled fish, meow!”
“Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!”
[Hehehe. Kkueng is back too!]
Whimper…?
[Butler, is it time to eat…?]
Kkamang, who had been sleeping in Sejun’s sling bag, woke up yawning and sniffing.
They all ate lunch together.
“Alright, are you guys ready?”
“Puhuhut. Trust Hybrid Theo, Vice Chairman, meow!”
“Kkueng!”
[Kkueng will make sure Daddy doesn’t hurt!]
Sejun harvested the crops while Theo and Kkueng massaged him.
With three stat harvests, his total stats increased by 190, and 260 stats changed back, making his fighting spirit stronger.
The next morning.
“Then let’s go.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
“Kkuhehehe.”
“Hee hee hee.”
Sejun and his group went to the 75th floor of the tower to buy the things they needed.
[You have arrived at the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]
Soon, they arrived at the bustling 75th floor. The air was filled with the sounds of bartering and the smells of exotic spices as they entered the famous merchant street.
“Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!”
[Hehehe. Kkueng has allowance!]
“Hee hee hee. Whimper!”
[Hehe. Kkueng hyung! Buy me that!]
Kkueng and Kkamang went to buy snacks at the street stalls.
“First, buy 1 million bottles of milk, and give me 10,000 each of cheese and butter over there.”
Sejun bought the food he needed and put it in his subspace warehouse.
And then…
“Goodbye.”
“Thank you! Goodbye!”
Because Sejun bought so much, the store’s sales increased a lot, and he left as the owner bowed deeply.
At that moment…
“Sejun, please stop that guy!”
Jeras of the Wandering Merchant Association shouted, pointing at a small, quick gray squirrel with beady eyes running towards Sejun.
“Huh?!”
Whoosh!
Before Sejun could react, the squirrel ran past him.
“Hehehe. I’ll use this well.”
It easily stole the money pouch from Sejun’s arms as it ran away.
“Meow?! How dare you steal from the great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Unforgivable, meow!”
Theo, angry that the squirrel stole Sejun’s money pouch, quickly chased after it with Nyangbo and caught it.
