Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 641

The Temple of the Creator.

The Creator stood quietly, looking at five paintings. They were almost finished, but around them were many more, still not done.

The first painting showed the Creator and the next Creator laughing and playing with puzzles. Their faces were bright with joy as they tried to fit the pieces together.

The second painting showed the next Creator, having won the puzzle game, standing up and cheering.

There was a puzzle piece on the chair where the next Creator had been sitting. A puzzle piece that the Creator couldn’t find no matter how hard they looked.

The next Creator had accidentally been sitting on it.

And in the third painting, the next Creator found the puzzle piece. They looked surprised and a little embarrassed.

The fourth painting showed the frightened next Creator holding the puzzle piece, watching the Creator from afar, unsure of what to do.

In the fifth painting, the next Creator, unable to tell the Creator the truth, was hiding the puzzle piece.

So, that’s what it was…

The Creator, looking at the five paintings, could see where the next Creator’s corruption had begun.

A small puzzle piece accidentally sat upon. A very minor mistake. Something that would have been easily overlooked if they had just been honest.

But to the still young next Creator, their mistake seemed too big. So, they were too scared to tell the truth and hid the mistake.

And the guilt of hiding the mistake bothered the next Creator more and more.

Just as rust eats away at iron, guilt swallowed the next Creator, ultimately leading to destruction.

It seemed like a small reason for so much destruction. But that’s how the world is. Big things can be destroyed by small mistakes.

The Creator went to the place where the next Creator had hidden the puzzle piece.

Still here, I see.

They found a puzzle piece pushed carelessly between the books.

As the Creator held the puzzle piece in their hand, it glowed with a gentle, warm light, as if it had been waiting for the Creator to find it, and then vanished.

Shimmer shimmer.

The beads moved, and the fifth painting began to change.

The next Creator, with a frightened expression, was giving the puzzle piece to the Creator, who was smiling and stroking the next Creator’s head.

One of the scenes the next Creator had dreamed of, being forgiven by the Creator, was completed.

At the same time, a small knot deep within the heart of Destruction disappeared.

The outskirts of Destruction.

Doing well, are we?

Heh heh heh! Doing great, nya!

Sejun and Theo, who had woken up early to check on the Great Destruction’s Tears, said.

Sejun and Theo went to check on the Great Destruction’s Tears, shimmering pools of dark water that bubbled softly.

Having confirmed that,

Hum hum hum.

Sejun, returning to the Black Tower, hummed as he prepared breakfast. The smell of seaweed soup filled the kitchen, mixing with the sweet scent of Choco Pies.

He also made seaweed soup and Choco Pies for the dragons to eat.

-Heh heh heh. Dragon chicken!

Brother-in-law, am I doing great?

-Yes! You’re the best, brother-in-law!

He also made what Ace liked, earning points for the first time in a while.

Aileen, here.

After sending food to Aileen, giving a Choco Pie to Pink Fur who brought Kkueng, and enjoying a delicious breakfast,

Beep!

[Greetings, Sejun!]

A messenger rabbit appeared before Sejun and bowed.

Yes. But what’s the matter?

Beep!

[I have brought a personal letter from Heukwolbok, the King of the Red Ribbon Kingdom.]

The messenger rabbit politely handed Sejun the letter with both front paws.

Even though Pochi was there, Heukwolbok was still worried. He sent another messenger to Sejun.

Yuren has entered the country…

Sejun read the letter.

What? Yuren being here doesn’t always mean bad luck…

He thought Heukwolbok’s worries were unfounded.

-P.S. Uncle, I had a dream where I ate a whole rotten carrot! I’m so anxious! Please come quickly!

What?!

Seeing the words written at the end of the letter, Sejun suddenly understood the black rabbit’s worries.

Sejun knew what happened every time Heukwolbok dreamed of eating a rotten carrot.

As far as Sejun knew, Heukwolbok had dreamed of eating carrots several times, and each time, something bad happened.

When Wolbok dreamed of eating one bite of a rotten carrot, Sejun received Aileen’s health soup, or Sejun and Heukwolbok were moved to a different floor alone because of the land documents.

When he dreamed of eating two bites, Sejun was almost killed by Aileen’s tail hitting the back of his head.

When he dreamed of eating three bites, Raknos, the invincible gray stone lion, one of the five immortals that Kamang couldn’t digest, appeared and almost destroyed the Red Ribbon Kingdom.

Of course, he didn’t believe it at first, but it had been verified several times, so he now completely believed it.

Heukwolbok’s bad luck predictions were always right, even better than the weather forecast.

Wolbok had never eaten more than half a rotten carrot until now…

He ate a whole one?!

This was a very serious situation.

The misfortune forecast was predicting an unprecedented misfortune.

Kids, wake up. We’re going to the 55th floor of the tower.

Sejun’s family hurriedly went down to the 55th floor of the tower.

Heh heh heh. Going to see Wolbok, nya?!

Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I’ll be able to see Ppyu Ppyu after a long time too.

Koo heh heh heh. Kkueng!

[Heh heh heh. I can see Wolbok hyung after a long time!]

Kki hi hit. Kking!

[Heh heh. I’m going to show Wolbok hyung how strong the great Kamang-nim has become!]

Of course, everyone except Sejun was carefree.

Black Tower, 55th floor.

Uhehe. More food here, please!

Yuren ordered food without a break.

It was safe for 3 days, but Yuren was planning to leave tomorrow instead of the day after tomorrow just in case.

So, he was eating hard before leaving.

Yuren ate like he hadn’t eaten in days! Spaghetti disappeared down his throat in huge mouthfuls. He slurped and chewed, his cheeks bulging.

Bbi-rong.

Bbi-yot had already filled his stomach a long time ago and was sleeping.

At that time,

Excuse me, Yuren-nim, the dishes that come out with the amount you paid are up to here.

An employee came and said.

Is that so? Then I’ll use this cup. Kkuik!

At the employee’s words, Yuren picked up the cup and used his talent, Midas’s Hand.

Swish.

The cup turned to gold,

Here’s the food cost. And bring me 100 servings of this spaghetti. It’s so delicious. Uhehe.

Yes!

Yuren handed the golden cup to the clerk and ordered food again.

Mohehe. Yuren-nim’s misfortune has become thicker!

Poyo, a small, shadowy creature, floated around Yuren, happily licking up the dark cloud of misfortune that surrounded him. It tasted like the richest, most delicious treat to Poyo.

But even misfortune that Poyo couldn’t feel or lick was piling up inside Yuren.

Yuren was using his talent, Midas’s Hand, too much. This talent was angry at Yuren for trying to change his fate. The anger of the talent was growing, and it would cause terrible things to happen.

Something ominous was engulfing the 55th floor of the tower, but no one noticed.

Kkyuk.

Lala-ssi, let’s eat something while we’re watching.

Pochi spoke to Lala, who was watching Yuren.

He wanted to create a good atmosphere with Lala by eating delicious food since they came to a nice restaurant.

However,

Beep?! Beep!

[Can’t you see I’m on duty right now?! If you want to eat that much, eat alone!]

Lala’s reaction was cold.

Lala didn’t even glance at Pochi. *Food is the last thing on my mind right now,* she thought, her eyes fixed on Yuren. *Something about him feels wrong.*

Kkyuk. Kkyuk···

[No. I’m with Lala-ssi ···]

Pochi’s ears drooped. He mumbled, his voice quiet, ‘Oh… okay. I just thought…’

As the embarrassed Pochi was about to make an excuse,

Crack!

Suddenly, space cracked open! A monster’s hand reached out from the crack and grabbed at Lala. It felt like all the bad luck in the world was in that hand.

Kkyuk!

[Where do you think you’re going!]

How dare you, to our Lala-ssi!

“Scritch.”

Bbozzi quickly wrapped Aura around her fingers and slashed at the monster’s hand.

But there wasn’t just one hand, or just one monster. There were many.

Suddenly, there were monsters. Thousands and thousands of them. They poured out from beyond the space.

Battle Merchant Headquarters.

“Huh?! What’s this?!”

This shouldn’t be happening…

The God of Misfortune felt uneasy as misfortune piled up around Yuren.

This was very strange. For the God of Misfortune to feel worried about misfortune… it was almost unheard of.

It was as strange as the God of Joy feeling uneasy about joy.

However, Misfortune’s feeling was understandable.

Yuren’s misfortune wasn’t pure.

The misfortune around Yuren was filled with a thick, evil feeling from the abyss, more primal than bloodlust or rage.

It was tainted misfortune.

And it saw me!

Misfortune felt a cold dread. It was as if the corrupted misfortune was aware of him, watching him, and waiting for something.

Kroooooh!

Uooooh!

The monsters looked different from each other. They were all made from terrible misfortune.

Kkyuk!

[Cleave!]

Scritch. Scritch.

Bbozzi, the hero of Hamk, the wielder of thirty swords, simply cut them down.

But there were too many monsters to cut down with only thirty swords, and they began to break free from the space.

Bbyot!

[Relay Sprint!]

“Kkuik! Pink Crush!”

“Sandstorm, arise!”

Bbyot, Yuren, and Poyo dealt with those monsters.

Bbeep!

[Please evacuate this way!]

Meanwhile, Lara evacuated the rabbits.

Ooooong.

Dark red energies oozed and pulsed from the dead monsters, gathering high in the sky. Everyone was focused on the battle and didn’t notice.

A short while later.

Bbyak!

[Attack!]

The Black Moon Squad rushed over after receiving the report and joined their subordinates, creating a little more space on the front lines.

At that moment,

Stagger.

Unluckily, a monster lost its footing, and Bbozzi’s sword missed.

At first, she thought it was just a coincidence.

However,

Kkyuk?!

[Another fall?!]

Bbyak?!

[Why are we suddenly slipping?!]

Bbyot!

[A headwind suddenly!]

“Kkuik?! Why is the ground dug up?”

Small misfortunes kept happening to Bbozzi and her companions, and they began to sense something was wrong.

Moreover,

“Be careful! You all smell delicious!”

Poyo’s words were decisive. This was definitely not a coincidence. Misfortune was slowly engulfing them.

The series of small misfortunes created a gap in the front lines.

Kuwek!

A monster broke through the encirclement and ran towards where the rabbits had evacuated.

Bbyak! Bbyak!

[No! Stop it!]

The Black Moon Squad shouted to their subordinates while dealing with the monsters.

Bbeep!

Bbeep!

When the subordinate black rabbits hurriedly chased after the monster,

Kkueng!

[Papa is in danger!]

Wham!

Kkuengi punched the face of the monster running towards Sejun.

Bang! Craaaash!

The monster hit by Kkuengi’s punch rolled and rolled, plunging into the hole from which the monsters were pouring out.

For a while, the hole was blocked, preventing the monsters from coming out.

“What is going on here?”

“Fuhuhu. Greetings, everyone, meow!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Hello!”

Kkueng!

[Everyone is safe!]

Meanwhile, Sejun and his companions approached.

Bbyak. Bbyak···

[It’s okay. We’re safe now…]

The Black Moon Squad felt relieved seeing Theo clinging to Sejun’s knee, Iona clinging to Theo’s tail, and Kkuengi clinging to Sejun’s side.

It was the perfect dream team. Now, they felt safe no matter what enemy came.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. The great Blackie-nim has arrived!]

Blackie’s family also barked enthusiastically, trying to show they were there, but

Bbyak. Bbyak?

[Yes. The youngest is here?]

To the Black Moon Squad, he was just the youngest.

As Sejun and his companions joined, the monsters were instantly pushed back, unable to even come out of the space and dying.

“I’m not getting any experience.”

Sejun lamented, seeing that the message wasn’t appearing.

At that moment,

“Meow?!”

Theo looked up at the sky.

“Vice President Theo, what’s wrong?”

“There’s something in the sky, meow!”

“Is it an enemy?”

“No, meow! It’s something good, meow!”

“Something good?”

Whoosh.

Theo answered and jumped into the sky.

Rising through the clouds, Theo discovered a massive dark red sphere where misfortune had gathered.

“Meow!”

May it be helpful to our great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow!

Paat.

He slapped the sphere with his golden paw, burning money.

Craaaash!

The dark red sphere was dyed golden and exploded.

No!

The talent controlling the sphere: Midas’s Hand, vanished.

[Black Tower Luck Beneficiary Park Theo has achieved the great feat of eliminating Black Tower Beneficiary Yuren Damon’s Talent: Midas’s Hand.]

[Black Tower Luck Beneficiary Park Theo has acquired >Title: Talent Slayer>.]

[You have acquired >Title: Talent Slayer Accomplice>.]

“Huh?!”

I’m an accomplice?

At the same time, Sejun gained a strange title.
