Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 561

It cost 3.5 million Topcoins per hour for the Great White Dragon Ajax Mamv to visit, paid for by the Great Blue Dragon Kin Aster. The payment was confirmed, and the summoning of Ajax began.

Wow. If an hour’s stay in a level 10 world costs 3.5 million…

“Earth would have to add nine zeros to that cost…”

“3.5 quadrillion Topcoins per hour?!”

As Sejun was shocked by the enormous amount,

“Sejun hyung! You’re here!” Ajax roared with delight as he tumbled out of the swirling blue hole, his white scales gleaming.

Whoosh.

Ajax quickly dashed into Sejun’s arms.

“Meow!”

As Theo, sensing the powerful energy of a Great Dragon, hurriedly absorbed some of Ajax’s aura to shield Sejun, just in case.

Come on, Ajax!

Sejun welcomed Ajax with open arms and a determined expression.

Wham!

Ajax launched himself at Sejun with the force of a small avalanche. The sound echoed through Draconia, more like a collision than a hug. The ground trembled slightly.

However,

[Talent: Master of Deflection deflects 99% of the power of the first attack.]

Thanks to his talent, Sejun, who deflected 99% of the destructive power, was unharmed.

Ugh.

It hurt because of the remaining 1%, but this was a great save.

Sejun chuckled, opening his arms. “Ajax, you big dragon! It’s good to see you too. How have you been?”

“Fantastic, hyung! Absolutely fantastic! And you? Have you been doing alright? Looking good, hyung! Definitely stronger than last time!” Ajax said, his golden eyes sparkling with excitement.

Ajax thought Sejun was still weak compared to a dragon, but for a human – or even a ‘sunfish’ as Ajax jokingly thought of him – Sejun had become much stronger.

At that moment,

As expected, this is the energy of a great dragon!

“It is an honor, Great White Dragon Ajax Mamv. Thank you for gracing us with your presence and revealing your esteemed name,” Evan said respectfully, feeling the tingling energy of the great dragon.

Being with Ajax made him even more certain that Sejun was not a great dragon.

However,

“Hey! Can’t you see I’m talking to Sejun hyung right now?!” Ajax, whose conversation was interrupted, got angry at Evan, perhaps because Sejun’s position was more significant than Evan had thought.

And then,

“Yes!? I’m… I’m sorry!”

“Ajax, now, now. It’s important to be polite, even when you’re excited to see me. Dragon Lord Evan is offering a greeting. Let’s be respectful,” Sejun said gently but firmly.

“Oh?! Okay, hyung. Alright. Nice to meet you. Dragon Lord, this body is the Great White Dragon Ajax Mamv.”

“Yes! Thank you for letting me know the name of the great one.”

Evan’s mind raced. ‘He calls Sejun ‘hyung’… Sejun scolded Ajax… Could it be? Has a new, incredibly powerful dragon type – a Great Hybrid Black Dragon – been born?’ Evan’s imagination ran wild.

A little later.

“Hehe. As expected, the hotcakes Sejun hyung makes are the best!” Ajax dipped the golden-brown hotcake Sejun made in honey, steam curling off it, smelling of warm butter and sweet honey, and ate it with a happy expression.

Hehehe. Queng! Queng!

[Hehehe. That’s right! Everything Daddy makes is delicious!]

Quengie also smiled broadly while dipping the hotcake in honey and eating it.

Queng.

[You guys eat a lot too and grow up quickly!]

Quengie also didn’t forget to feed the mini turtles he had caught with hotcakes dipped in honey.

Hehe. If you eat hotcakes dipped in honey and grow up, you’ll taste like hotcakes dipped in honey!

Quengie was completely mistaken.

And then,

Munch munch!

(Master, it’s so delicious!)

Munch munch!

(As expected, the power of loyalty! Master, I will rub even harder from now on!)

The turtles showed their loyalty to Quengie even more diligently after eating the food.

“Hehe.”

Hehehe.

Munch munch!

When everyone was intoxicated with sweetness and in a good mood,

“Ajax, I have something to say,” Sejun said, waiting for an opportunity.

“Huh? What is it?”

“Teach the dragons how to use breath.”

“Breath? Okay! Leave it to me!” Ajax readily replied.

Ajax immediately got up from his seat and

“All dragons who can’t use breath, gather around!” He summoned the dragons.

A deep rumble echoed through Draconia as Ajax called. The ground vibrated, and the lesser dragons felt a primal fear grip them. They gathered, scales shivering, eyes wide with a mixture of awe and terror, like mice caught in the gaze of a hawk.

A brutal breath lesson.

However,

“Shoot your breath.”

“Yes!”

Koo… Cough!

“No. You have to push it all the way to the end. And the initial breath is too strong. That’s why the breath can’t continue to the end. Try again.”

“Yes!”

Kooo…

“See? It’s gotten a little better because you adjusted your breathing. Go practice what I taught you 1000 times and come back.”

“Yes!”

The dragons’ fear gradually disappeared.

“I told you to do it 1000 times?! How dare you deceive the Great White Dragon Ajax Mamv?!”

“Hiek! No!”

Of course, he turned back into a scary dragon who instilled fear in dragons who didn’t do what they were told and tried to slack off.

As evening approached,

“Hyung! I’ve taught them all!”

The dragons who could now breathe fire praised Ajax, saying “Ajax’s words are like breath itself!” meaning his instructions were perfect and powerful.

[Quest Progress: 62.3%]

Thanks to this, Sejun’s quest progress instantly surpassed 50% and entered the 60% range.

After two days passed,

[All dragons in >Draconia> have recovered their strength.]

[Quest completed.]

[As a quest completion reward, >Authority: Strong Young Dragon’s Bones> is enhanced to >Authority: Mighty Young Dragon’s Bones>.]

[As a quest completion reward, Black Earth Dragon Bakto Ryong’s stay in >Draconia> is permitted.]

Sejun was finally able to complete the quest.

And then,

[Black Earth Dragon Bakto Ryong is summoned.]

Toryong was summoned in front of Sejun.

Perhaps because he had received a stay permit, there was no stay cost.

“-Huh?! Sejun, where is this?” Toryong, who had been eating soil on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, looked around and asked.

“Toryong, this is Draconia. Everyone, this is Black Earth Dragon Bakto Ryong. Since you’re all dragons, get along well,” Sejun told Toryong where this was and introduced Toryong to the other dragons.

However,

…

Despite Sejun’s introduction, there was a great awkwardness between the two dragons.

Sejun was mistaken; not all dragons are the same.

There are dragons that resemble the dragon race, but there are also other types of dragons such as Earth Dragons and Sea Dragons.

In short, this was a difficult world for the Earth Dragon Toryong to make friends.

“Sejun, I don’t think this is the right place,” a tiny voice squeaked.

*Wiggle, wiggle.*

The small earthworm in Sejun’s hand shook its head very hard. Its pink body twisted back and forth.

“Okay, okay. Sorry, little friend.” Sejun gently placed the earthworm back on the ground. “I’ll find you a better friend next time, I promise.”

Sejun felt a little sad for the earthworm. He really wanted to find it a good friend.

A message appeared in front of Sejun: **[Black Earth Dragon Bak Toryong is returning.]**

With a flash of black light, the dragon Toryong landed on the 99th floor of the Black Tower. This tall tower was where Sejun lived and farmed.

“We should go back to my farm now too,” Sejun said. “Ajax, you should return as well.”

“Okay! See you next time, Sejun hyung!” Ajax, a friendly spirit who looked like a young boy, waved goodbye. He held a stack of golden pancakes Sejun had cooked for him. “Thanks for the pancakes!”

As Ajax disappeared in a swirl of light,

“Move Earth!” Sejun called out. Using his magical hoe, Miller’s Hoe, he easily shaped the earth. He was building something special. Soon, a stone pillar stood tall. Sejun carved words into it.

**[Dragon God Monument No. 2]**

“If you ever feel lost or scared, pray here,” Sejun told the earth around him. He hoped this monument would bring comfort.

*‘If it’s for the Dragon God,’* Sejun thought, *‘maybe even real dragons will feel a little safer too.’* He smiled, pleased with his Dragon God Monument.

He then touched the smooth, blue surface of the nearby Blue Tower.

**[Would you like to return to the Blue Tower?]** a message asked.

“Yes, please,” Sejun replied.

**[Returning to the Blue Tower.]**

In a flash of blue light, Sejun and his friends vanished from the 99th floor.

**Seed Shop Headquarters.** Inside a bright, airy office, messages popped up on a screen in front of Mirna, the Dragon God.

**[The Ambiguous Dragon has built a second temple in Dracenia for you.]**

**[Divinity increases by 300.]**

**[The dragons of Dracenia now follow the Ambiguous Dragon’s command and worship you, an unknown god, as their guardian.]**

**[One million dragons witness your temple!]**

**[Divinity increases by 100,000.]**

…

…

…

“Huh?!” Mirna’s eyes widened. “I’m the guardian deity of a level 10 world?!” She jumped up from her chair, clapping her hands. “Wow! This is amazing!”

But then, she quickly became serious. “Wait, I need to thank the Ambiguous Dragon right away!”

Using the new divinity she had just gained, Mirna quickly tried to contact the Ambiguous Dragon. Since she didn’t know his real name, it used up a lot of her power just to find him.

A moment later, a connection was made.

“Ambiguous Dragon,” Mirna said excitedly, her voice echoing through the magical link. “This is Dragon God Mirna! Thank you so much for building my temple! It’s a huge help! But… what is your name? Who are you really?”

Then, a reply came through the communication channel.

**[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun answers that he is Park Sejun.]**

“Huh?!” Mirna blinked. “Park Sejun? Wait… Park Sejun… could it be… Mutddapak?”

Suddenly, it clicked. Mutddapak! The strange name she had heard before! Could *he* be the Ambiguous Dragon? Mirna’s eyes widened in realization. *It must be!*

“Kuh-huh,” Mirna chuckled to herself, completely misunderstanding. “Mutddapak’s kindness is unbelievable! He’s pretending to be a dragon and even acting like a follower for me, when I don’t even have any real followers!” She was deeply touched by this imagined devotion.

“Mutddapak, please accept this gift! It’s a divine artifact I made!” She quickly sent a glowing object to Sejun.

Then, filled with excitement, Mirna rushed outside and shouted, “Mutddapak! Mutddapak!”

“Mutddapak!” echoed back.

“Mutddapak!” another voice joined in.

“Mutddapak!” Soon, other gods, her comrades, gathered around, curious about the commotion.

Beaming, Mirna announced to them, “Everyone, you won’t believe it! Mutddapak is even pretending to be a dragon for me!” And she began to tell them all about Mutddapak’s supposed devotion, completely unaware of the truth.

**Temple of the Creator God.** In a grand hall filled with light, the Creator God watched as terrible news flashed across his divine screen.

**[World Amos has been destroyed by the invasion of the seventh disaster, the Planet-Destroying Turtle.]**

…

…

…

But then, a different message appeared, a small spark of hope in the darkness.

**[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun and his party have defeated the Apostle of Destruction, Leviathan, the Serpent who Summons the Twelfth Seat of the Sea, and have completely saved Dracenia.]**

“Heh heh,” the Creator God chuckled softly. “He’s done it again…”

He shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. Amidst all the destruction, Sejun was a constant surprise. It was almost unbelievable. How could a simple farmer keep defeating these powerful beings, these Apostles of Destruction?

The Creator God didn’t understand it. Logically, it shouldn’t be possible. But Sejun and his friends had proven it, not just once, but many times. He had to accept the impossible. They were truly capable of fighting back against Destruction.

And thankfully, Fenrir, another powerful being, was managing the unexpected consequences of Sejun’s actions better than he had hoped. In fact, other former Apostles of Destruction were secretly helping Fenrir, though the Creator God didn’t know the full extent of it.

“I have to trust Sejun,” the Creator God murmured. “I have to take a chance.”

He had always been careful with Sejun, wanting his help but also worried about asking too much. He had been afraid of losing Sejun’s help by overusing him, like someone afraid of killing the goose that lays golden eggs.

But now, fear was replaced by a growing faith. He had to believe Sejun could somehow find a way to stop this destruction.

Because time was running out. Fast. Thirty percent of his creation was already gone, destroyed. The power of Destruction was growing stronger every day. Worlds were starting to vanish on their own, even without being attacked.

And now that Destruction had found Dracenia, a hidden level 10 world, it was only a matter of time before it found others. Level 10 worlds were the most important, the most powerful. If they fell…

The Creator God knew he had to act. Thinking quickly, a plan formed in his mind. “We need to set a trap,” he decided. “We’ll wait for the next Apostle of Destruction to appear, and then… we’ll send Sejun.”

A plan was set. He called out, “Emila! Amur!” His voice echoed through the Temple as he summoned his most trusted apostles, ready to put his risky plan into action.

**[Arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]**

…

…

…

Sejun was back home! As soon as he arrived, a loud shout greeted him.

“Brother-in-law~!”

*Thud! Thump! Thud!*

Ace, the giant black wolf, bounded towards him. Ace had grown even bigger! In just a few days, he was now five meters tall! Sejun stared up at him, a little scared.

Ace, completely unaware of Sejun’s fear, wagged his tail with all his might, showing his happiness.

*WHAM!*

“Kuh-erk!” Sejun gasped as Ace’s huge paw landed on his shoulder in a friendly greeting. It was a very noisy welcome home.

Just then, another message appeared.

**[The Dragon God Mirna sends down her divine artifact.]**

A shimmering light descended from above, and a beautiful cyan trident appeared in front of Sejun. It pulsed with a gentle energy.

**[Trident of Fire, Wind, and Water]**

Sejun picked it up, turning it over in his hands. “Huh? Is this… a pitchfork?” he wondered aloud. “But why is it shaped like this? Kkuengi, could you bend this part a little?”

Kkuengi, the small black rabbit, hopped over excitedly. *Kkueng!* Following Sejun’s instructions perfectly, Kkuengi used his magic to bend the prongs of the trident at a right angle. Now it looked even more like a farming tool.

*Kkueng!* **[Daddy, I did it!]** Kkuengi chirped proudly.

“Good job, Kkuengi!” Sejun patted the rabbit’s head. “Hehehe. This will be perfect for tilling the fields!” He grinned, completely pleased with his new, improved farming tool, unaware that it was a powerful gift from a Dragon God.
