The first light of morning touched the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Oof.”
Sejun stretched his arms wide as he got out of bed. *Flap, flap*.
Batbat hurried over. “Good morning, Sejun!”
“Yeah. What were you doing, Batbat?”
Batbat chirped, “I soaked the seaweed!”
“What?! Really?! I completely forgot… Khew. You’re the best, Batbat.”
Sejun praised Batbat with an exaggerated reaction.
Batbat smiled brightly at Sejun’s praise and climbed onto Sejun’s palm, and Sejun gently stroked Batbat’s soft head.
Baerorong.
Batbat quickly fell asleep from Sejun’s stroking.
“Batbat reminded me! I almost forgot to check if the Pull is working well.”
“Nya…”
Sejun took Theo, moved to Jormungandr’s disguise, and visually confirmed that the Giant Tear of Destruction was doing well.
“Theo, Vice President, how is it?” He asked, grabbing Theo’s front paw and extending it towards the Giant Tear of Destruction.
“Puhuhut. I can really feel the Pull!”
Once Theo’s cross-check was complete, Sejun returned to the Black Tower, made seaweed soup, and prepared breakfast at the same time.
A little later.
“Eileen, here’s the seaweed soup.”
Eileen’s voice came into Sejun’s mind. *Are there any Choco Pies left?* she asked.
“Choco Pies? Aren’t there a lot left?” He made millions of Choco Pies with 10,000 chocolate bricks.
Sejun could make lots of Choco Pies because he had magic and the ingredients. It was like he had a Choco Pie factory!
Eileen’s voice came into Sejun’s mind. *There are less than 10,000 Choco Pies left,* she said.
“What?!” They ate all of that already?!
According to Eileen, Choco Pies were incredibly popular, to the point where several dragons were donating blood and scales multiple times a day to eat more Choco Pies, leaving them weak and sickly.
Sejun was taken aback by Eileen’s words. Seriously. You ignorant dragons! How much blood and scales did you take out to be so weak?!
“Eileen, from now on, limit blood and scale donations to once a day, no exceptions. And send some seaweed soup to the weak dragons.”
Eileen’s voice came into Sejun’s mind. *Understood,* she said.
He quickly spoke to Eileen and then said, “Theo, Vice President, I need 10,000 chocolate bricks.”
“Puhuhut. I understand!”
“Herr, please get me 10,000 chocolate bricks!”
At Sejun’s words, Theo asked Herr, and Herr quickly went to Mud to purchase 10,000 chocolate bricks.
Herr was happy to get 5 points for doing a small job and thanked Theo.
“Puhuhut. President Park, here they are!”
“Yeah. Thanks.”
“Puhuhut. If you’re thankful, stroke my belly quickly!” Theo immediately lay on his back, showing his belly at Sejun’s words.
“Alright.”
Sejun melted the chocolate bricks in a double boiler and stroked Theo’s belly.
Kkihihit. Kking!
Blacky also lay on his back in front of Sejun, waiting for his turn.
However,
“Wow. Blacky, look at that belly. You need to go on a diet. Let’s cut back on the dried sweet potatoes.”
Sejun thought this was a good chance to give Blacky fewer sweet potatoes.
“Kking?! Kking?! Kking!” Blacky cried out. “What diet? The great Mr. Blacky does not need a diet!”
“No. I can grab so much belly fat.”
Sejun said, looking at the belly fat he could grab with two fingers of Blacky’s hand.
“Kking! Kking!”
That’s not belly fat! It’s the dignity of the great Mr. Blacky!
“Yeah. Not dignity, fat. Mr. Blacky, your diet starts today.”
“Kking!”
“No!” Blacky dramatically covered his face with his small, adorable front paws and screamed at Sejun’s words.
Sejun’s heart softened as he looked at Blacky. Khew. So cute.
“Ahem. Let’s try to help you lose weight by exercising instead of changing your food for now.”
He decided not to reduce the amount of dried sweet potatoes.
Kkihihit. Kking?! Kking!
“As expected of the great Mr. Blacky!”
Kkilook!
Shalalang!
Blacky, who achieved another trivial feat today, was praised by his subordinates.
“Puhuhut.”
Kkihihit.
Sejun stroked Theo and Blacky’s bellies, took a break, and then baked bread to make Choco Pies when the chocolate melted.
“Cooking.”
While he was stamping out Choco Pies,
Thud. Thud.
Kueoong.
“Good morning, Sejun.”
“Good morning, Pink Fur.”
Pink Fur appeared with Kkuengi in his mouth.
Kueoong.
“Please take care of Kkuengi.”
Pink Fur handed Kkuengi over to Sejun.
“Yeah.”
Sejun took Kkuengi and put him under his arm.
Kkuengi clung to Sejun’s side.
Gulp.
Meanwhile, Pink Fur was drooling as he looked at Sejun. More precisely, he couldn’t take his eyes off the Choco Pies piled up next to Sejun.
“Ah. Should I give you some?”
Kueong!
At Sejun’s question, Pink Fur nodded vigorously and held out his huge snack pouch.
“Here you go.”
Sejun filled Pink Fur’s snack pouch with Choco Pies and handed it over.
Kueooeong. Kueong.
“Thank you, Sejun. I’ll enjoy it.”
Pink Fur hugged his snack pouch tightly and replied with a bright expression.
At that moment,
Slurp. Looks delicious!
Kkuengi, who had woken up at some point, drooled as he looked at Pink Fur’s snack pouch.
“Kkuengi, let’s eat this.”
Sejun put a Choco Pie in Kkuengi’s mouth, protecting Pink Fur’s snack pouch.
Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!
“Delicious!” Kkuengi enjoyed the Choco Pie.
Meanwhile, Pink Fur quietly disappeared without saying goodbye.
A little later.
After breakfast was over,
“Then let’s get going.”
Sejun prepared to leave.
Sejun was going to Avian. This world was on the third level and connected to the White Tower.
Sejun chose the White Tower first. He had only set up travel points on the first floor of the White Tower and the Green Tower.
Sejun decided to go to the White Tower first because he owed Kellion a great deal.
And next was the 6th level world connected to the Green Tower, Migros.
The remaining towers would be visited in the order that the land deeds for the 1st floor of the tower were obtained.
Having arrived at the 1st floor of the White Tower, Sejun moved through the private passage.
The Great Dragons were paying for his trip and his place to stay. Sejun just needed to find the Calamity and come back.
Heh heh heh. It feels like I’m going on a vacation.
It felt like he had a vacation to go on, but the company was sending him there on a business trip.
With a joyful heart, Sejun placed his hand on the private passage.
[You have arrived at >Avian>.]
Sejun arrived at Avian.
Huh? Where is this…?
It’s a desert!
The surroundings were full of sand.
Just in time, sand carried by the wind flew into Sejun’s mouth.
Ptooey! Pthpth! Pthpth!
Sejun hurriedly spat out the sand that had entered his mouth.
This isn’t a good start, is it?
Sejun had a bad feeling.
Ggoohehehe. Ggooeng!
[Hehehe. Ggooeng will keep Daddy from eating yucky sand!]
Ggooeng created a wind blowing from top to bottom like an air curtain, blocking the sandstorm.
Huh? Ggooeng, you can control the wind too?!
Ggoohehehe. Ggooeng!
[Hehehe. Ggooeng can use wind after eating Windron!]
What?!
You can use the wind attribute after eating Windron?! Then the poison and lightning attributes of Necma and Raton too?
As expected, my son is talented!
Sejun praised Ggooeng.
He felt a little jealous, but if a crow-tit tries to follow a stork, its legs will be torn.
He just accepted it.
If he had eaten that bead, he wouldn’t be here.
Alright. Let’s go to work!
Thanks to Ggooeng’s wind, Sejun, who no longer had to chew sand, moved with his party to find the Calamity.
Suddenly, bandits on horses appeared in front of Sejun and his friends.
[The hero of >Avian>, the radiant star of the desert, Bardin]
Huh?
A hero?!
At the head of the bandits was the hero of Avian.
[A quest has occurred.]
[Quest: The hero of >Avian>, the radiant star of the desert, Bardin, is still out of his mind, committing robbery and causing havoc. Please correct Bardin’s manners.]
Reward: All stats +100
[If you complete the quest within 10 minutes, you will receive double the reward.]
[As usual, you can quickly complete it with the help of the Black Tower’s luck-based Park Theo and the superior herbalist Park Ggooeng]
A quest message appeared in front of Sejun.
[System 371] doubled the quest reward by setting a time limit to impress Sejun.
Even advising him to get help from Theo and Ggooeng.
Are you underestimating me too much?!
Sejun felt a sense of resistance because they kept saying he wouldn’t lift a finger and that he should get help.
I can handle a level 3 world hero on my own!
Because I am a disciple of Master Posa of the level 7 world Hempk.
Sejun, whose rebellious spirit had been awakened after a long time, decided to take matters into his own hands.
In the worst-case scenario, he had Dragon Scale, Authority: Strong Body, and Authority: Spare Life, so there was no need to worry about dying.
Guys, I’ll take care of the boss!
Puhuhut. Understood, Meow!
Ggooeng!
[Understood!]
The party didn’t worry much either.
Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Just say if it’s too hard! The Great Blackie will help!]
Only Blackie was hoping that Sejun would get beaten up.
Here I go!
With a shout, Sejun ran towards Bardin.
Bang!
Kugh!
Bardin, who was hit in the face by Sejun’s fist, fell off his horse and rolled on the ground.
You rascal!
Whether it wasn’t a big impact, Bardin immediately got up and charged at Sejun.
Bang! Wham!
Sejun and Bardin relentlessly threw punches at each other.
Sejun was stronger, but Bardin was better at fighting.
Neither side could gain the upper hand in the fight.
Thwack!
Ugh!
Bardin began to grasp Sejun’s simple attack patterns, and Sejun gradually became disadvantaged.
Puhuhut. President Park, I’m back, Meow!
Ggooeng!
[Ggooeng is back too!]
Fortunately, Theo and Ggooeng, who had defeated the other bandits and returned, came back to Sejun, reversing the situation.
Thwack! Thwack!
Theo and Ggooeng jumped in front of Sejun, blocking the attacks meant for him.
Kugh!
Bardin was in pain every time he hit them.
A moment later.
Thwack!
Sejun punched Bardin in the abdomen, ending the fight.
Kkeueu… such cowardly…
Bardin wore a very resentful and frustrated expression.
Puhuhut. This isn’t cowardly, Meow! We are one, Meow!
Ggooeng! Ggooeng!
[That’s right! We are one!]
To Theo and Ggooeng, who had been well(?) educated by Sejun, fighting like this was natural.
Heh heh heh. The loser has a lot to say.
Thwack!
Sejun punched Bardin in the back of the head one more time, knocking him unconscious.
Heh heh. I won.
Sejun wore a proud and elated expression, feeling pleased that he had won on his own.
Puhuhut.
Stamp.
In the meantime, Theo stamped Bardin, making him a permanent employee.
[You have completed the quest.]
[All stats have increased by 100 as a quest completion reward.]
[You did not receive double the reward because the time limit was exceeded.]
The quest completion message appeared.
If it had ended here, Sejun would have been in a good mood and just moved on, but…
[From now on, please do not fight alone and be sure to get help from the Black Tower’s luck-based Park Theo and the superior herbalist Park Ggooeng.]
[System 371] unnecessarily added another comment, making Sejun feel bad.
Why did you even use an exclamation mark on ‘be sure’?!
Today, Sejun’s favorability towards the system only worsened.
