Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 632

Sejun stood at the edge of a ruined land.

Broken black rocks and grey dust stretched out as far as he could see, and the air tasted like ash.

“That one… it’s enormous,” Sejun breathed, his eyes wide.

He stared at the dark, pulsing orb in the distance that Theo was pointing to with a paw.

It was a Tear of Destruction, but unlike the small, manageable ones he usually dealt with, this one was massive, looking like a bubble of black smoke, twisting and growing against the pale sky.

Compared to the Tears of Destruction he usually dealt with, which he’d call a ‘1,’ that thing was over 10,000.

Considering the distance, it would be even bigger.

Besides, how do I even get there?

The place Theo was pointing to was not only far away, but there were also much larger Tears of Destruction in the middle than the ones Sejun had been dealing with.

Will I be alright?

Sejun wore a worried expression.

“Phoohoo! If we go there, I think I can punish that system guy who’s been bothering our Chairman Park, nyaa!” Theo said, unable to hide his joy at the thought of finally punishing the system that often bothered Sejun.

“Let’s deal with the small ones first. Kkueng-ah, send me over there,” Sejun said to Kkueng after dropping off his companions.

Kkueng!

Kkueng used telekinesis to approach Sejun to the Tear of Destruction he pointed at.

As the distance closed, twitch.

A Tear of Destruction twice the size transformed into Sejun’s appearance.

For reference, perhaps due to the basic ability of the Tear of Destruction, Destruction Sejun did not fall, unlike Sejun, who needed Kkueng’s help.

Destruction Sejun rushed towards Sejun, but Sejun smirked.

“Heh heh. How dare you attack Park Sejun!”

Thwack. Thwack thwack.

Sejun easily beat up Destruction Sejun a few times.

Then, Destruction Sejun immediately became docile.

“What is this?”

Sejun felt a little uneasy seeing the Destruction Sejun become so obedient; it was strange to see a copy of himself acting so weak.

“Even if he’s submissive, he’ll still do his job well, right?”

Sejun tried to shake off the unpleasant feeling and took the submissive Destruction Sejun to Jormungandr’s stomach.

Thump. Thump.

Destruction Sejun planted the seeds of the Destruction Devourer more skillfully than the existing Destruction Sejuns.

“Hehehe. Good.”

Sejun gained confidence.

This time, he aimed for a Tear of Destruction three times the size.

“Heh heh. I won.”

He easily subdued it this time as well.

Afterward, Sejun gradually raised the level and pioneered the path to go to the place where Theo’s pull was felt.

When he faced Destruction Sejun, who had transformed from a Tear of Destruction 30 times the size, he found it more difficult.

Thwack thwack.

“Huff. Huff. I won!”

Sejun could no longer easily subdue Destruction Sejun, but still, Destruction Sejun became docile after losing.

“Is there no unyielding spirit to me?”

Sejun reflected on himself, looking at such Destruction Sejun.

And to the 40x Destruction Sejun…

“I would have won if we fought on the ground…”

He lost because Destruction Sejun swung his hand and sent out an aura.

“Why do you know how to do things that I can’t do…”

Destruction Sejun was using skills at a higher level than the skills Sejun possessed.

“Phoohoo! The great Hybrid Chairman Park will be protected by Vice Chairman Theo, nyaa!”

Kkuhe he he. Kkueng!

“[Hehehe. Kkueng will protect Daddy!]”

Of course, Sejun was the ultimate victor because Theo and Kkueng were there.

Unfortunately, from 40x Destruction Sejun onwards, he couldn’t catch them and make them farm.

Their personalities became too violent, so there was no other way but to eliminate them.

When he eliminated them directly like this, the Tears of the Inexperienced Creation God did not appear, but…

[Superior Herbalist Kkueng has eliminated the energy of destruction.]

[Park Kkueng, the Superior Herbalist, has acquired 40 billion, which is 50% of the acquired experience.]

Clang.

Instead, he gained experience and Tower Coins.

Kkihihit. Kking!

“[Heehee. Butler! Hide behind me!]”

Kkamangi also stepped in front of Sejun and pretended to be strong, but his words and actions were different.

His trembling legs and the tail curling between his legs were telling him that he was scared.

“Hehehe. You sunfish. You’re scared of this.”

Sejun gloated as he watched it.

But a problem arose elsewhere.

[Exposed to the energy of destruction.]

[All abilities are reduced by 50%.]

[Life force is rapidly decreasing.]

[You will die soon.]

When he left the area around Jormungandr’s body and entered an area without the energy of creation, he could not move forward due to the energy of destruction.

Sejun realized that going directly was difficult.

[I can send you…]

Fire Spirit looked at Sejun from afar and felt sorry for him.

At that time, Pooong.

Blue gas came out of Jormungandr’s mouth and tail again.

And Kkihihit. Kking!

“[Heehee. Fart Commander Kkabul-to farted!]”

“Haha. Didn’t it move a little just now with the fart?”

Kkilook!

Sharyarang!

…

..

.

Kkamangi’s family teased the youngest, not missing the opportunity.

And “Huh? It moved?”

Sejun had a good idea after hearing their conversation.

A little later, Sejun spoke.

“Kkabul-to, steer well.”

“-Yes…” Jormungandr replied to Sejun’s words.

Currently, Kkabul-to was back in his main body, moving his body, but not too much, just the necessary amount.

If he used too much of the main body’s power, there was a risk of returning to the Apostle of Destruction, craving the power of destruction again.

Of course, it’s not that Sejun becomes dangerous, but Kkabul-to becomes dangerous, and Sejun didn’t want to get hit again.

Currently, inside Kkabul-to’s mental world, the other Kkamangi family members were surrounding Kkabul-to.

“Heehee. Just try to change.”

“Umkeukeu. Kkabul-to, snap out of it.”

“Kareureu. You know what happens if you don’t snap out of it, right?”

They were preparing to beat him up at the slightest sign of becoming an Apostle of Destruction again.

It was like saying you can drink alcohol but don’t get drunk, but Kkabul-to had to do it, or else he’d get beaten up.

“Alright. Fart-mobile, depart!” Sejun shouted.

Pooong.

With the sound of Fart Commander Kkabul-to’s fart, Jormungandr’s body began to move little by little.

This time, since he kept his mouth shut, the energy of creation that would have gone out through his mouth went out through his tail, creating a stronger fart, which resulted in higher propulsion.

Poobooboong.

Yormungandr, the giant white snake, floated through the red space. He moved slowly, pushed forward by bursts of air from his body.

I want to die.

Kkabulto did not want the power of destruction. Maybe he was lucky, or maybe it was just too embarrassing.

And so, Yormungandr, carrying Sejun and his friends, drifted through the space filled with the energy of destruction. It felt hot and buzzy, like static electricity in the air. Small sparks of red light flashed around them.

“Puhu-hut. Chairman Park is a genius after all, nyaang! Theo’s power is pulling us closer, even though we are not moving, nyaang!”

Theo had a special power to pull things closer. Even though Yormungandr was just floating, Theo’s power was pulling them towards the Tear of Destruction.

“Huhu-hut. From now on, call me Genius Park Sejun.”

Sejun grinned proudly at Theo’s respectful gaze.

“Chairman Park, your face is funny, nyaang! Like a rotten tomato, nyaang!”

Theo, seeing Sejun’s face, hurriedly stepped on it with his front paw—a golden paw, no less.

“It’s not!”

“It is, nyaang! It’s rotting a lot, nyaang!”

Hee hee hee! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

[Hee hee! That’s right! Butler’s face is rotting! So, the great Kamang-nim will step on it too!]

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi will give Daddy a massage too!]

While Sejun and his companions bickered, the pure white snake moved through the red galaxy, creating blue foam.

No. Park Sejun, why does he keep getting stronger?

Why is he getting stronger?!

[System 371] couldn’t understand. System 371 is like a computer program that runs the world.

Park Sejun entered the tower due to a system error when Eileen Fritani, the Great Black Dragon and administrator of the Black Tower, lost consciousness.

No. Why did he enter that portal?!

It was connected to the 99th floor of the Black Tower!

Things escalated when Sejun jumped into the portal, which should have simply disappeared.

[System 371] was initially flustered, but after seeing Sejun’s weak talent and power, which could never survive on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, it soon felt relieved.

It assumed Sejun would die quickly and paid no attention. It thought the error would disappear soon.

However, Sejun survived for a long time on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, like a cockroach, and at some point, began to make the system work harder.

Because Sejun was changing the world so much, it was making the system work harder.

Initially, the burden wasn’t significant, but it gradually increased, enough for [System 371] to notice.

And…

Hmph. Coming in as an error.

Hee hee hee. I guess he thought he would get stronger this time?

[System 371] enjoyed subtly messing with Sejun.

Sejun and Theo said they would get rid of it, but…

What?! Get rid of me?!

Hmph! Try if you can.

Hee hee hee. How are you going to do it?

It wasn’t scared at all.

To get rid of it, they needed to access the system with one of the only two system access devices.

One was held by the Apostles of Destruction, and the other was hidden in a place no one knew.

[System 371], while working hard and teasing Sejun in between,

I’ve been feeling a bit more relaxed lately?

It realized that the burden coming to it had decreased at some point.

But…

What is it?

It’s good to work less.

[System 371] didn’t pay much attention.

However, it couldn’t have imagined.

Huh?! What’s that?!

System SJC?!

Where did that come from?!

Sejun Company’s system, [System SJC], was handling the tasks for Sejun Company employees instead of [System 371].

If it had discovered it early on, it would have immediately destroyed it, but by the time [System 371] discovered [System SJC], [System SJC]’s size had already grown too large.

To the point where it was handling 10% of the burden occurring in the world.

There should only be one system, me!

Still, because [System SJC]’s power was still weak, [System 371] tried to eliminate [System SJC], even if it meant taking some damage.

But…

Huh?! Why the gods?!

While dealing with some urgent matters, some of the gods belonging to it had transferred their affiliation to [System SJC], and the number of Sejun Company employees had greatly increased, making [System SJC]’s power too strong.

Now, [System SJC] was handling 25% of the total system burden.

Now [System 371] couldn’t recklessly destroy the fully established [System SJC].

[System 371] could only watch as [System SJC] gradually stole its power as the number of Sejun Company employees increased.

Still, I’m the main system, so my 51% stake is safe.

It monitored [System SJC] with a very naive thought.

Then…

Huh?!

The system felt a chilling golden energy pass by it.

Could it be?!

[System 371] hurriedly checked the location of the system access device.

The one it had hidden was intact, but…

No!

Sejun and Theo were seen closing the distance to the system access device held by the Apostle of Destruction.

Don’t come!

[System 371] cried out in fear, but there was nothing it could do.

No. Even if they have the system access device, they won’t be able to connect…

[System 371] didn’t let go of the last thread of hope.

But…

“Puhu-hut. It’s time to get rid of the system that tormented Chairman Park, nyaang!”

Such a thing was ultimately just an obstacle to be overcome in front of Sejun’s knee fanatic, Theo. As always.

“Let’s stop here for today.”

Sejun stopped moving. It was time to go eat dinner.

And so, Sejun moved back to the Black Tower.

“Kkuenga, what do you want to eat for dinner today?”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. I want to eat Grandma’s kimchi stew today!]

“Oh. Kimchi stew is good! Just a moment.”

Sejun looked for kimchi in his subspace warehouse. Kimchi stew, a spicy Korean soup, was Kkuengi’s favorite.

Whenever the seasons changed, Kim Dong-soo delivered Kim Mi-ran’s kimchi to the 1st floor of the tower, and Elka and the other wolves moved it to the 99th floor.

“Kkuenga, should we put tuna in the kimchi stew today?”

He was thinking of making tuna kimchi stew for the first time in a while, but

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[No! The foundation of kimchi stew is meat kimchi stew!]

Kkuengi was a traditionalist.

“I’m just kidding. Dad was going to put slime meat in it too.”

Sejun naturally glossed over it and started making kimchi stew, setting the rice to cook and grilling fish.

A little later.

“Everyone, let’s eat.”

Sejun called his companions and they ate dinner together.

“Puhu-hut. Chairman Park’s grilled fish is the best, nyaang!”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Grandma’s kimchi stew is delicious!]

Hee hee hee! Squeak!

[Hee hee! Butler! Give me more roasted sweet potato jerky!]

“Okay. Here. Kkabulto, eat a lot too. You need to put in effort tomorrow too.”

Yol yol···

The dinner was quiet and happy.

Then…

Crack!

The Black Moon began to open.
