Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

Kueng! Kueng?!

[Dad, are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere?!]

Kking?! Kking! Kking!

[Butler! Are you alright?! Don’t worry anymore! The great Blackie will protect you!]

Following Theo, Cuengi and Blackie family emerged from the Void Storage and threw themselves at Sejun, who had been alone for over an hour.

Kuehehehe.

Kihihit.

Once Cuengi and Blackie family confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Sejun’s body, they rubbed their bodies against his, showering him with affection.

“Puhuhut. Since they dared to target the life of the great hybrid Chairman Park, they must become full-time employees, meow!”

Meanwhile, Theo took out a stamp, preparing to stamp it on the back of the ogre’s head.

“But Theo, how did you get out?”

Sejun asked Theo curiously. Originally, there should have been about 20 more minutes until the Void Storage synchronization was complete.

“And who is this hamster?”

Chuee! Chuee! Chuee!

[Hello! Great hybrid Chairman Park-nim! While I’m here, I will serve you with utmost loyalty!]

Lick. Lick.

The brown hamster, who was trying to stick out its tongue to lick his shoes, was a bit much to handle.

“Stop that.”

As Sejun moved his foot away,

Dadada.

The brown hamster, refusing to give up, quickly rushed toward Sejun’s shoe.

However,

Swish. Swish.

Since the brown hamster’s agility wasn’t that high, it couldn’t catch up to Sejun’s shoe no matter how much it ran.

Not wanting to keep playing this game of tag, Sejun grabbed the brown hamster by the scruff of its neck.

Chuee! Chuee!

[Please don’t do this! Please grant me the honor of licking the great hybrid Chairman Park-nim’s shoe!]

The brown hamster whined, wiggling its four short legs.

Just to be sure, Sejun took a quick look and confirmed that it was male.

Phew. That was a relief.

It seemed like there wouldn’t be a bloodshed over this.

As Sejun breathed a sigh of relief,

“Puhuhut. So many things have happened, meow!”

Theo began to speak with a nostalgic expression.

***

30 Minutes Ago, Sejun’s Void Storage

Meeoooow…

I miss the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow…

Theo was waiting with a blank expression for the Void Storage to open.

[Battler, the God of Battle, says he picked this up on the way and tells you to enjoy eating it.]

[Battler, the God of Battle, sends down a brown hamster.]

In front of Theo, who was waiting, a brown hamster appeared along with a message from Battler.

Chu…ee?! Chueeck!!!

[Ca…cat?! Hiiik!!!]

The brown hamster, who had been offered as a sacrifice by the god, saw Theo and immediately sensed its impending doom.

A mouse in front of a cat.

All the mouse could do was

Shiver. Shiver.

Trembling in fear at the horrible future that awaited.

However,

“Haak! Haak! How dare you give me, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, a creature of the same species as Iona to eat?! Battler, you won’t get away with this when we meet, meow!”

Rather than eating the hamster, the cat was angry at the god who had sent it and,

“Hel-nim, can you hear me, meow?! I want to send this one back, meow!”

Since Battler didn’t respond, Theo started talking to another god, hoping to find a way to send the brown hamster back.

A cat talking to gods?! Incredible!

The brown hamster gazed at Theo with eyes full of reverence.

Kihihit. Kking?! Kking!

[Hehe. Newcomer, are you? Then you should have come to greet the great Blackie-nim first!] (TL: It’s actually ‘Are you a newcomer?’ but I was imagining Blackie talking like Yoda. 😁)

Blackie barked at the brown hamster and,

Chuee! Chuee!

[I apologize! New hamster recruit, Kalchi, reporting in!]

Kalchi hurriedly lowered his head and introduced himself.

Kihihit. Kking?

[Hehe. Your name is Kalchi?]

Chuee! Chuee!

[Yes! My teeth are brown, so my name is Kalchi!] (TL: ‘Kal’ (갈) comes from ‘갈색’, meaning brown, and ‘Chi’ (치) means tooth.)

Kalchi showed his brown teeth as he spoke.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. I really like the name of this rookie! It sounds like a name our butler would give!]

After establishing the hierarchy with Kalchi, Blackie went back to playing.

And then,

“Meow?! This place is synchronizing, meow?!”

Through Hel, Theo learned that Sejun had already arrived in Recia.

At that moment,

Meow?!

The great hybrid Chairman Park is in danger, meow!

Sejun’s knee detector alerted him to the danger he was in.

“Hel-nim, synchronize it quickly, meow! If you refuse, I’ll push for impeachment, meow!”

So Theo hurriedly threatened Hel, and as a result, the synchronization finished 20 minutes earlier than scheduled.

I’ll have to do something nice for Hel-nim later.

Thinking of Hel, who must have had a hard time, Sejun pondered a reward.

“By the way, is your name really Kalchi?”

104.28.193.250

Chuee!

[Yes!]

Kalchi, held in Sejun’s hand, smiled and proudly showed off his neat brown teeth.

“That’s a pretty clever name.”

Chuee!

[Thank you!]

Kalchi was filled with joy, having his name acknowledged by the most esteemed person here.

Stamp.

As Theo finished his story, he stamped the back of the unconscious ogre’s head.

However,

“Meow?!”

[This being is contaminated with the energy of Destruction.]

[Unable to make employee with the Nine Dragons’ Employee Contract Seal.]

Red energy repelled the seal, preventing the stamp from being made.

Stamp. Stamp. Stamp.

Become a full-time employee of Sejun Company, meow!

Theo, refusing to give up, kept stamping, but the seal still wouldn’t take, and frustration started to show on Theo’s face.

“Vice Chairman Theo, what’s wrong?”

Sejun asked, noticing Theo’s frustration.

“Chairman Park, the stamp won’t stick, meow!”

“It won’t stick?”

“That’s right, meow! It says it’s contaminated with the energy of Destruction, so I can’t make it an employee, meow!”

“Really? Destruction Devourers, come out for a moment.”

Sejun called out the Destruction Devourers, who had been absorbing the energy of Destruction emitted from Alice’s body in the Void Storage.

“Try absorbing the energy.”

He instructed them to absorb the energy of Destruction from the ogre’s body.

Chomp. Chomp.

The Devourers diligently absorbed the energy of Destruction from the ogre’s body.

As they did, the red ogre’s body began to turn white. No, it was turning transparent, starting to dissipate.

A Calamity is a being composed of the energy of Destruction. To strip it of this energy meant death.

Death was the only way to be freed from destruction, unless one possessed special abilities like Blackie family.

“Oh?! Guys, stop!”

Realizing belatedly that the ogre was vanishing, Sejun shouted, and the Devourers froze mid-bite in awkward positions.

“No, you can move. Just don’t eat the energy of Destruction.”

Kiki!

Kiki!

At Sejun’s words, the Devourers nodded and closed their mouths.

“This ruins my plan…”

Sejun had intended to restore the people to the Ogre King Les, the boss of the 99th floor of the White Tower, but now he was troubled as he looked at the ogre.

Purifying the energy of Destruction would cause it to vanish…

It was a situation where he couldn’t do one thing or the other.

Meanwhile, the ogre’s body continued to become more transparent. Once the dissipation began, the energy of Destruction was scattering.

Sejun, who had been watching the ogre and contemplating for a while.

Should I just let it disappear?

Just when his thoughts had almost completely leaned toward disposing of the ogre,

“Oh?!”

He sensed a certain energy from within the ogre’s body. A hot, dynamic, and powerful black energy.

It was battle aura.

And then,

-He…lp…me…

The ogre’s battle aura communicated through Sejun’s own battle aura, asking Sejun for help.

-Let…me fight…

It wanted to fight against destruction.

-I promised…our king…Les-nim…that I would buy time…

It wanted to keep its promise.

A plea so earnest that it was impossible to refuse.

“Alright.”

So Sejun decided to respond to the request. He didn’t know how he could help the ogre.

But the ogre’s desperation moved his heart, and he had a vague certainty that his own meager battle aura would reveal a way.

Clasp.

As Sejun placed his hand on the ogre’s vanishing body,

Buzz.

The ogre’s battle aura resonated with Sejun’s.

And then,

Seureureuk.

…?!

The battle aura that escaped from the ogre’s body settled into Sejun’s. It wasn’t absorbed by Sejun’s own battle aura.

-Thank you.

The ogre’s battle aura persisted as an independent force, existing solely as the ogre’s battle aura. It was merely residing temporarily in Sejun’s body until it could find a new vessel.

It said there would be a way when they went to Ogre King Les.

With that, as the ogre’s battle aura transferred into Sejun’s body,

Pasasak.

The ogre’s body disintegrated.

[You have defeated the Sixth Calamity Ogre.]

[You have gained 500 billion experience points.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have obtained 1 bonus stat point.]

[Strength has increased by 30.]

[Strength potential has increased by 1%.]

[A quest has been triggered.]

…

..

.

Upon reaching level 130, Sejun received a job quest.

The job quest required securing 20 new crop varieties, but since Sejun already had 27 new varieties, he completed it easily.

As Sejun annihilated the ogre,

“Wow! The God of Frogs has defeated all the calamities protecting us!”

“Long live the God of Frogs!”

“Hurray!”

Gaeroro and the residents of Frog City, who had gathered around Sejun on their knees, bowed down to him in reverence.

The appearance of the Frog God rekindled hope in the hearts of Frog City’s residents, and their eyes were ablaze with renewed spirit.

But then,

“That’s not true, meow! The great Chairman Park is not the God of Frogs, meow!”

Theo poured cold water on their fervor, putting a stop to their cheers.

He had to.

“Chairman Park is a god greater than the God of Frogs, meow! Because Gaeron, the God of Frogs, is my subordinate, meow! And I am Vice Chairman Theo, the right hand of Chairman Park! My subordinate Gaeron, come out, meow!”

There was indeed a separate God of Frogs. To be precise, he was the God of Jewel Frogs, but since he was still a frog, it would be fine.

– Theo-nim, did you call me? Gaeron, the God of Frogs, answers your call and manifests before Theo-nim.

Gaeron, who had been pestering Theo to summon him, emerged from the water with a grand presence, speaking in an dignified voice.

He had dressed up as much as he could, especially in front of other frogs.

And then,

“Oh! It’s truly the God of Frogs!”

“Long live Frog God Gaeron-nim!”

The majestic appearance of Gaeron, a god who shared the same frog form as them, was enough to fill the hearts of the frogs with awe and pride.

Then,

[Your subordinate, the slave of Theo Park, the God of Jewel Frogs, Gaeron, is being praised by the residents of Recia.]

[Currently, Recia has no guardian deity.]

[Would you like to appoint Gaeron, the God of Jewel Frogs, as the proxy guardian deity of Recia?]

A message appeared before Sejun.

“Yes.”

Sejun immediately approved.

Gaeron had been working hard under Theo for a long time, so it was time for him to find some freedom.

When Sejun appointed Gaeron as the proxy guardian deity of Recia,

“Long live Sejun-nim! Long live Theo-nim!”

Thank you so much!

Gaeron shouted in gratitude.

“Long live Sejun-nim! Long live Theo-nim!”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

The frog residents echoed Gaeron’s cheers.

At that moment,

Flash.

Light began to radiate from Kalchi’s body.

This was Hel’s arrangement, completed to send Kalchi back home.

Chuee! Chuee!

[Ah! It looks like it’s time for me to go back now! Goodbye, everyone!]

“Alright. Take care.”

Chuee! Chuee!

[Yes! If you ever come to Hamk, please make sure to visit me!]

Kalchi waved his two front paws enthusiastically and returned to where he originally came from.

“Alright, then. Let’s go hunt down the other calamities.”

– Yes! I will lead the way!

Having become the proxy guardian deity, Gaeron now had the authority to observe the situation in Recia in detail. He carried Sejun and his party,

Leap. Leap.

setting off to deal with the remaining calamities attacking the Blue Tower.

And then,

“Let’s follow Gaeron-nim!”

“Yes!”

Gaeroro gathered all his forces and followed behind them.

***

In the small hamster village of Hotori in Hamk.

Flash.

Kyoik?!

[Kalchi?!]

Twitwi!

[Kalchi has returned!]

As Kalchi, who had once been offered as a sacrifice to Battler, the God of Battle, reappeared in a flash of light, the hamsters cheered in excitement.

Chuee! Chuee!

[Listen up! I’m about to tell you the story of how I survived meeting a great cat that even dared to defy the gods!]

With that, Kalchi enthusiastically began sharing his adventure story with the other hamsters.
