Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 594

The 99th floor of the Black Tower was quiet on Christmas night, with everyone asleep.

Sejun, who had carefully prepared the presents, looked at the countless tents and sighed, “It’s still not enough…”

More and more residents kept arriving on the 99th floor, even while Sejun was preparing gifts.

Despite gathering every item that seemed useful as a gift, the number of presents was far too few compared to the number of residents.

Plus, according to other residents, news about Christmas had spread throughout the entire Black Tower.

‘I didn’t think the Christmas story would spread from Earth.’ Sejun had assumed that the tower’s residents had heard about Christmas from the Earth’s hunters.

Just as Sejun was worrying about having far too few presents, a deep chuckle echoed through the quiet floor.

“-Khehehe! Don’t you fret, Sejun! We’ve brought gifts too!” boomed a voice.

“-Yes, things… uh… things we found in the warehouse!” another voice added quickly.

-*Ahem!* a third dragon cleared its throat loudly.

“-Dehehehe! Things we’ve been *carefully* storing in the warehouse, of course!” finished a fourth, with a sly giggle.

Sejun looked up in surprise. Nine huge dragon statues, each wearing a slightly crooked red Santa hat and a fluffy white beard made of spiderwebs, were lumbering towards him. They spoke loudly, their voices echoing off the tower walls.

The dragons used strong magic to make everyone sleep. This meant they didn’t need to worry about making noise.

The nine dragon statues approaching Sejun were, of course, the leaders of the Nine Dragons.

Five days before Christmas, as soon as the Dragon Council ended, the leaders of the Nine Dragons headed straight to the Black Tower.

The five leaders, excluding the Four Dragon Society, insisted to Sejun that they, the strongest dragons, should play Santa. Of course, they received five bottles of attribute liquor each as compensation.

With the emergence of nine Santas, Sejun spoke, “Please wear these.”

Sejun handed the dragons Santa costumes.

Since the presents would be moved via teleportation anyway, the costumes weren’t necessary, but… It just wouldn’t feel like Christmas without them.

Sejun couldn’t allow a Santa without a red hat and a white beard.

Thus, under Sejun’s instructions,

Squeak~ Squeak~

Kkomi carefully made Santa hats and white beards with spiderwebs, and nine sets of Santa costumes came into Sejun’s possession.

“-Sejun, are you serious? A Santa suit? We are mighty dragons!”

“-Yeah, this… this doesn’t feel very dignified.”

The dragons initially refused the Santa costumes Sejun handed them, claiming it would diminish their dignity, but…

“-Phee hee hee. Grandpa, that outfit looks cool!”

“-Khahaha. Really?”

“-Grandpa, where did you get that outfit? It suits you so well!”

“-Khahaha. It suits me?! Should I wear it then?!”

Sejun deployed Ace and Aileen to persuade Kaiser to wear the Santa suit.

“-Look, I’m wearing this ridiculous thing, and I’m the Dragon King! So you lot will wear them too, and that’s final! Unless you want to spend Christmas outside in the cold!”

The other dragons had no choice but to wear the Santa costumes due to Kaiser’s stubbornness.

Even though the leaders of the Nine Dragons added their gifts, the number of presents was still not enough to give to all the residents of the tower.

‘I’ll give them to the residents on the 99th floor first, and if there are any left, I’ll give them to the other floors.’

“-Then, please begin,” said Sejun.

“-Alright. Understood.”

“-I’ll take this area.”

“-Then I’ll take this area.”

At Sejun’s words, the leaders each determined the area they would deliver presents to, identified the coordinates above the residents’ heads, and began calculating the teleportation magic.

Even for the great dragons, identifying the coordinates of hundreds of thousands of people and performing teleportation calculations simultaneously was impossible, so they used magic in increments of 10,000.

A moment later,

“-Mass Teleport.”

The dragons, having completed their calculations, began using magic to move the presents to the heads of the sleeping residents.

It was very precise magic, and not a single one of the great dragons failed.

While the dragons were delivering presents,

“-Hehehe. Our Black Rabbit’s present is… Of course, something good for the lower body. Hehehe.”

Sejun also placed the presents he had prepared at the heads of his family members: honey for Kkuengi, a magic microphone necklace for Batbat, a giant brick made of the finest soil for Torongi, and dried sweet potato for the Blackie family.

And for Pink Fur, locust and slime jerky, for the Ox King, grass and mugwort mixed and compressed into pellets, and for Dalkomi, pollen and honey from various trees.

He set aside Fire’s present to give to her when they met later.

‘Alright. Now I just need to give Aileen her present.’

Kaiser had decided to give Ace and Aileen separate presents, but Sejun had also prepared a separate Christmas present for Aileen.

Sejun finished giving presents to his family.

At that moment,

“-Nya?! No! Super-duper Chairman Park, where are you going, Nya?!” Theo suddenly shouted in panic.

Flash!

At the same time, a bright light exploded from Theo’s body, and a giant mass of light rose into the sky.

“-Huh?! What’s that?” Sejun also looked at the sky in surprise.

‘It’s me!’

The mass of light that rose into the sky transformed into Sejun wearing a Santa suit.

Magic from the Creation God flowed from Sejun to Super-duper Chairman Park, who looked just like Sejun. Theo had been praising Super-duper Chairman Park a lot. This praise, combined with the Creation God’s magic, turned him into Santa Sejun.

“-Puhu! Chairman Park, that’s the face, Nya! That’s the uncorrupted face I wanted for Chairman Park, Nya!” With the handsome face that Theo considered most ideal.

Flap. Flap.

Perhaps because he was a hybrid, small black dragon wings were moving on Santa Sejun’s back if you looked closely.

[Black Tower Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s clone has become the Christmas God, Santa Sejun.]

[You have achieved the great feat of creation by having a transcendent clone.]

[This is a clone that Black Tower Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s abilities cannot handle.]

[The reward for achieving the great feat of creation is greatly reduced.]

[As a reward for achieving the great feat of creation, Black Tower Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s divinity increases by 10.]

[Black Tower Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s clone, the Christmas God Santa Sejun, will act on its own until the main body grows.]

Messages appeared before Sejun.

‘My clone is a god? And I’m just a regular person?!’

Sejun stared at Santa Sejun, feeling a strange mix of awe and confusion. *Is that really me? But he’s so much more…* A little bit of jealousy even flickered in his heart.

At that moment,

Snap.

Santa Sejun snapped his fingers, and a sleigh filled with gift bundles and a reindeer pulling the sleigh appeared.

“-Hehehe. Main body Park Sejun. This blessing is a gift for your good deeds. Have a Merry Christmas!”

Clap.

Santa Sejun clapped his hands as he spoke to Sejun.

[Christmas God Park Sejun bestows the blessing of Christmas upon the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

[Due to the blessing of Christmas, snow falls from the sky and peace prevails during Christmas.]

[Due to the blessing of Christmas, even beings of high status can enjoy Christmas on the 99th floor of the Black Tower during Christmas.]

Suddenly, soft white flakes began to drift down from above, like tiny feathers falling from the night sky. The air grew crisp and cold, and a hush fell over the 99th floor.

And,

Snap.

After snapping his fingers again to create a dimensional portal,

“-Well then, goodbye! Giddy up!” He waved his hand and disappeared into the hole riding the sleigh pulled by the reindeer, to give presents to those who had done good deeds in all the worlds.

‘Wow. What is that… Me, but not me.’ Seeing the transcendent god Santa Sejun, Sejun felt insignificant.

But,

“-Puhu! As expected, the great hybrid Chairman Park is incredibly amazing, Nya! He created the super-duper Santa Sejun, the God of Christmas, as a clone, Nya!”

‘That’s right. That’s my clone, and I’m the main body! There’s no reason for me to feel inferior to my clone!’ He quickly regained his self-esteem as he received Theo’s admiration.

And,

“-Puhu! I need to nurture Chairman Park’s clone again, Nya!” Theo hugged Sejun’s knees and began nurturing a new clone of Sejun in his mental world again.

“-But does the fact that beings of high status can enjoy Christmas on the 99th floor mean that Aileen can come too?”

“-Puhu! That’s right, Nya! Aileen can come, Kaiser can come, everyone can come, Nya!”

“-Theo Vice-Chairman! Then… then is skinship possible?”

“-Puhu! It’s possible, Nya!”

Just as Theo was giving a clear answer to Sejun’s question,

“-Khahaha. Today, I can finally clink glasses with our Sejun in person.”

“-Euhahaha. That’s right.”

Thud. Thud.

Kaiser and the other leaders began to appear one by one in their giant true forms.

“-Everyone, quickly transform! Our Sejun will get hurt!”

“-Oh. That’s right! We can’t let our Sejun get hurt! Hey! Transform quickly!”

Of course, due to Aileen, who appeared afterwards, the leaders hurriedly transformed, and seven middle-aged men in their forties and two beautiful women appeared.

Thanks to Santa Sejun’s blessing, Sejun finally got to meet the leaders in person.

“-Kaiser, please accept my bow!” First, he formally greeted Kaiser, Aileen’s grandfather.

There was only one with black hair, so there was no unfortunate incident of confusing Kaiser.

“-Khahaha. Yes, Sejun, nice to meet you! The day has come when we can see each other in person like this.” Kaiser approached Sejun, who was bowing and getting up, and shook his hand. Fortunately, as Theo said, it was okay to touch him.

“-Euhahaha. Nice to meet you, Sejun.”

“-Puhahaha. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

While shaking hands with Kellion and the other leaders,

“-Brother-in-law~!”

“-Son-in-law!”

“-Mr. Park!” Ace appeared with Anton and Elizabeth, who had transformed.

Thud. Thud.

Ace couldn’t transform and was in his true form.

“-Brother-in-law~” He rubbed his head against Sejun, acting cute.

“-Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, hello.” Sejun stroked Ace’s head and greeted Anton and Elizabeth.

-Little brother, move aside. A chilling voice heard in Ace’s head from his sister.

“-Eek.” Ace quickly got up and hid behind Elizabeth, shrinking his body as much as possible. He was so huge that there was no point in hiding, though.

And,

“-Sejun…”

“-Aileen…” Finally, Sejun and Aileen faced each other.

“-Sejun! Oh, Sejun, I’ve missed you so much!” Aileen threw herself at Sejun in delight.

Sejun also opened his arms and caught Aileen’s slender body.

Aileen’s flowing hair, the scent of her skin, the soft touch. Sejun closed his eyes and focused on everything about Aileen.

‘It’s warm.’

Although cold white snow was falling heavily from the sky, Sejun felt warmer than ever.

‘Thank you, Santa Sejun!’ As Sejun expressed his gratitude to his clone,

“-Puhu! It’s warm, Nya!” Theo also hugged Sejun’s knees and Aileen’s knees together, smiling broadly.

Seed Shop Headquarters.

“-Hehehe. I should give presents to everyone here since they prayed for the main body. Time Acceleration.” Santa Sejun, who appeared at the Seed Shop Headquarters, identified the delivery locations and moved slowly while using his authority.

It was a short night to give presents to everyone, but 100 hours for Santa Sejun, who was using >Authority: Time Acceleration<, was 1 second for others. It was enough time for Santa Sejun to deliver all the presents. Of course, the four executives of the Seed Shop Headquarters, who were also transcendent beings, were not affected by Santa Sejun's >Authority: Time Acceleration<. However, >Authority: Quiet Visit<, >Authority: Chimney Travel<, >Authority: Make Dogs Quiet<, etc. Because Santa Sejun had a lot of authorities specialized in secretly leaving presents, it was difficult for the executives to detect Santa Sejun's presence. Santa Sejun finished delivering to the Seed Shop Headquarters in a fleeting moment. "-Hmm. This one has been very generous to Theo." He stopped by Her’s Pawnshop and gave a good present. "-This one doesn’t have many gods to receive presents." He stopped by the Battle Shop Headquarters and delivered presents only to a few, such as Beb, Thunder, Battler, and Hunt. Afterwards, Santa Sejun went around all the worlds and placed presents at the heads of those who had done good deeds. "-Hehehe. Then, let’s all meet again next year!" He clocked out. The night passed, and Christmas morning arrived. And, "-It’s here!" "-We’re alive!" Fortunately, there was a present at the head of each of the Earth Dragons of >Earthworm<.
