Solo Farming In The Tower-Novel

TL: Hanguk

“Hehehe. Now I’m level 76.”

Sejun smiled contentedly.

“But… it’s becoming more burdensome.”

“So much power!”

Sejun commented while watching Ajax, who was flying around the sky with his gigantic body.

Being constantly exposed to the unleashed power of Ajax, Sejun found it increasingly difficult to cope.

“Hyung! Do I look cool?!”

Ajax, oblivious to this, asked Sejun with a proud voice.

“Ajax, hyung is having a hard time. I, Park Sejun, as the master of Ajax Mamebe, command you. Seal.”

Unable to withstand the energy of Ajax any longer, Sejun quickly re-sealed Ajax’s power instead of answering.

And then,

Pat, pat.

“Ajax, well done.”

Sejun praised Ajax, petting the now smaller Ajax on the head.

“Ehehe.”

Ajax laughed while receiving Sejun’s praise.

Then,

Clank.

“I missed Chairman Park, meow!”

Kueng!

[Dad!]

Kking!

‘Don’t leavealone!’

The void storage opened, and Theo, Cuengi, and Fenrir ran out.

The dragons had upgraded Sejun’s void storage into a multi-dimensional void storage that could be opened from other towers, adding a function that allowed authorized beings to open it from inside without external help.

“Kids!”

And so, the group reunited.

“That’s what happened, meow!”

“So that’s why it wouldn’t open…”

After hearing from Theo why the void storage hadn’t opened,

“Take a break. I’ll just harvest these cherries, register the waypoint, and then we’ll go back.”

Sejun said, getting up to pick cherries.

He thought it best to register the waypoint while he was at the White Tower, as he didn’t know what might happen later.

However,

“No, meow! There’s somewhere we need to go before that, meow!”

Theo strongly opposed Sejun’s plan.

“Huh? Where to?”

Click.

“I, Vice Chairman Theo, felt a pull, meow!”

Theo declared proudly, raising his front paw.

“A pull?!”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow!”

“Alright. Then, go.”

“I don’t want to, meow! We’ll go together later, meow!”

Squish.

At Sejun’s words, Theo clung tightly to Sejun’s knee. I’m never going to be apart from Chairman Park again, meow!

This was the first tTheo had been so far from Sejun, and it was a huge shock to him.

And it was the sfor Cuengi and Fenrir.

Kueng!

[We are one, so we’ll go anywhere together!]

Cuengi clung to Sejun’s left arm like a koala,

Kking!

‘Hey! Don’t forget about me!’

Fenrir bit on Sejun’s shoes to make his presence known.

“Alright. Alright.”

Sejun said, picking up Fenrir and putting him in his pocket.

“Eheh! Hyung! I want to cling too!”

Ajax clung to Sejun’s left shoulder.

Because of this, Sejun had to harvest cherries with Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and Fenrir attached to him.

(Pip-pip.)

By the way, a golden bat had already claimed its place on Sejun’s back.

A while later.

[You have harvested Thick Darkness Cherries.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 70 experience points.]

“Done.”

Sejun harvested the last cherry.

“I expected as much, but… there really aren’t many.”

Sejun said in a disappointed voice, looking at the basket filled with cherries.

There were roughly 2000 cherries in the basket, which seemed too few for a harvest from 100 cherry trees.

“Next harvest will be more, right?”

Sejun looked forward to the next harvest.

And then,

“Take good care of the farm.”

He entrusted the farm to the deer and monkeys. Now that the cherry harvest was over, it was tto leave.

Peeyu!

[Yes!]

Ukkik!

[Yes!]

The deer and monkeys energetically responded to Sejun’s words.

Instead of Sejun, it was decided that Ajax would collect a week’s worth of cherries once a week and give the bananas to the moneys.

Although Ajax had wiped out the Crazy Dogs on the 83rd floor of the White Tower,

Just in case, they left behind 100 Dragon Warriors.

Once all the work at the cherry farm was finished,

“Vice Chairman Theo, lead the way.”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow! Just follow my direction me, meow!”

Sejun and his companions followed Theo’s lead to the north.

On the way,

There were a few unlucky ones who blocked the path of Sejun and his party,

Kueng!

[Cuengi will teach them a lesson!]

Cuengi dealt with them,

“Stamp it, meow!”

Theo collected signatures on the contract and sent them to the farm.

By doing so, they added about 100 more farm workers.

“Puhuhut. It’s here, meow!”

A dilapidated temple with an ominous aura appeared before Sejun. It felt somewhat ominous?

“Despair is not yet over. The end of hope is despair. In the end, everyone will fall into despair…”

While Sejun was reading the writing on the temple floor,

“Puhuhut. Let’s go inside quickly, meow! I feel a strong pull, meow!”

Theo, with an excited expression, pulled Sejun’s leg towards the temple.

‘Alright. If it’s Theo’s pull, there shouldn’t be any danger.’

Sejun put his worries aside and followed Theo into the temple.

***

-Kellion, is our Sejun doing well?

-Ah! He’s safe! How many times do you have to ask?!

Kellion replied with annoyance to Kaiser’s question.

It was understandable for Kellion to be annoyed since Kaiser had been asking every five minutes since Sejun disappeared.

But

-Kellion, aren’t you being too much?! Kaiser is just worried about Sejun!

-That’s right! You’re being like that!

Ramter and Tier defended Kaiser. Kellion had no one on his side. I miss my grandson…

Thus, Kellion broadcasted Sejun’s situation every five minutes.

-Huh?! There was such a place in our tower?!

Kellion closely watched Sejun and his companions entering the temple.

***

In the center of the temple, there was a circular altar, and on top of the altar lay a giant gray rock shaped like an egg.

Around the rock, there were four giant statues standing guard.

Statues shaped like figures holding a sword, spear, bow, and staff, all clad in armor. Other than that, there was nothing else in the temple.

“Vice Chairman Theo, do you feel a pull from that rock?”

Sejun asked, looking at the gray rock,

“No, meow! It’s below it, meow!”

Theo shook his head and pointed to the floor with his front paw.

“Really? Then, do we need to move that rock first?”

Step.

As Sejun stepped forward to speak,

Boom!

Suddenly, a giant iron door descended, blocking the entrance to the temple.

And then,

-Welcome, brave heroes who will scream in despair.

Bloody letters of a strange shape appeared on the gray rock, and a voice was heard.

“Huh?”

Why a hero all of a sudden? Sejun was puzzled when,

-I am the antithesis of hope and the ruler of despair, the Demon King Mordor. If you wish to leave here alive, accept my trial.

Kugugung.

As Mordor spoke, the four giant statues surrounding the gray rock moved,

Thump.

and aimed their weapons at Sejun and his companions.

“Oh. They move.”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, do you want them, meow?

Kueng!

[Cuengi is bigger!]

“Hyung! I’ll make one for you later!”

Sejun and his companions were busy talking among themselves while looking at the statues.

“Then, I’ll give the first trial. Defeat these statues in combat.”

In the meantime, Mordor issued the first trial, and

Thud. Thud.

the statue holding a spear stepped forward towards Sejun and his companions.

“Kukukukuk. There’s also an easy way. Kill one of your companions, and you’ll be considered to have passed the trial.”

Mordor laughed, imagining the situation of the heroes falling into despair and killing each other.

However,

“What are you saying? Vice Chairman Theo, slash it.”

Sejun was incredulous at Mordor’s absurd suggestion.

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”

Sssht!

At Sejun’s command, Theo unsheathed his dragon claw,

Swoosh.

swiped through the air with his front paw, and

Crack.

the magical blade that cut through the four statues and the gray rock left five lines on the temple wall.

Crackle.

Boom.

The four statues split in half and fell, shaking the ground,

-I… to be extinguished so easily…

[Guard Theo has defeated the sealed Demon King of Despair, Mordor.]

[You have gained 3 billion XP, which is 50% of the XP obtained by Guard Theo.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

[Your strength has increased by 10.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

[Your strength has increased by 10.]

The Demon King of Despair, Mordor, sealed within the gray rock, bestowed Sejun two levels up as he was extinguished.

Thanks to this, Sejun leveled up 7 times in a day.

“Hehehe. Now I’m level 78.”

While Sejun was laughing,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, this is it, meow!”

Theo dug around where the gray rock had been and brought Sejun a yellow orb.

“Huh? What’s this?”

Sejun examined the yellow orb.

[Heart of the Demon King Mordor]

→ The heart of the Demon King of Despair, Mordor.

→ It contains pure magic power as Mordor was extinguished.

→ Consuming it will increase your magic power by 300.

→ Upon consumption, you can awaken the Talent: Bringer of Despair.

→ If you consthe hearts of all five ancient Demon Kings, you will receive additional effects and the <Title: Devourer of Demons>.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

→ Usage restriction: All stats above 1000

→ Expiration date: None

→ Grade: SSS

“Oh! As expected of Vice Chairman Theo! You’re the best!”

Sejun gave a thumbs up and praised Theo after checking the item’s options.

A 300 increase in magic power and talent awakening.

Moreover, consuming the hearts of all five Demon Kings grants additional effects and a title.

It was the best item Sejun had ever consumed.

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am the best, meow! Chairman Park, since I did well, extend my exclusive rights to your knee for one more month, meow!”

“Sure. No problem!”

Feeling good, Sejun readily agreed to Theo’s request and checked his stats.

Stats: Strength (1036/1193) Stamina (1364/1398) Agility (974/1008) Magic Power (1369/2279) Mental Strength (17/500)

“Huh? I’m short on agility?”

To consthe heart of the Demon King of Despair, Mordor, all stats had to be over 1000.

He was 26 points short in agility.

“I’ll have to eat it when I get back.”

With today’s 7 bonus stats and the elixirs and other crops at the farm, he could easily raise the 26 points.

“Ah. I should take this too, just in case.”

Having organized his thoughts, Sejun picked up the gray rock that Mordor was sealed in and stored it in the void storage.

And then,

“Kids, let’s go.”

Sejun, with his companions clinging to him, headed towards the waypoint.

On the way to the waypoint,

Kyao!

Once again, unlucky beings blocked the path of Sejun and his party,

Kueng!

[Cuengi will teach them a lesson!]

Cuengi and Theo’s punch and stamp combo sent them off to the farm.

And so, Sejun arrived at the waypoint.

Tap.

As he placed his hand on the red crystal,

[White Tower 83rd floor waypoint has been saved.]

[Loading other saved waypoints.]

[No other waypoints saved besides the White Tower 83rd floor; cannot move to other floors of the White Tower.]

The messages appeared. Since it was expected, Sejun wasn’t surprised.

“Let’s go hnow. Finally, I get to use this.”

Tap.

Sejun raised his left arm and infused magic into the black bracelet. It was the Bracelet of the Dragon’s Return given by Kaiser.

Then,

Woong.

The golden characters engraved on the bracelet began to shine.

And then,

[The return magic engraved on the Bracelet of the Dragon’s Return is activated.]

[Calculating the distance between the current coordinates and the return coordinates.]

[Identifying the personnel nearby.]

[Returning six to the designated location.]

Sejun disappeared from the 83rd floor of the White Tower.

A moment later,

[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the White Tower.]

“Eh?!”

Sejun arrived at an unexpected place.

At that moment,

[You are exposed to a powerful magic power.]

[The magic power is overwhelming.]

Messages appeared in front of Sejun.

The 99th floor of the White Tower was a place where the magic power released by Ajax was densely accumulated. It was too much for Sejun to withstand.

“Ugh…”

Along with the message, Sejun fainted.

“Chairman Park!”

Theo, who had been distracted by looking around, hurriedly used Energy Drain to absorb the magic power directed at Sejun and

Squish. Squish.

began to knead Sejun’s face with healing magic.

“Chairman Park is such high-maintenance, meow!”

Today, too, Theo was working hard.
