Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

“Alright. Let’s get going now.”

As the incident caused by Father Rabbit’s lie came to an end, Sejun tidied up his surroundings and spoke.

And then,

“Alright. Now, let’s head out to find the treasure!”

They all headed off together to search for the final divine relic of Misfortune, the God of Misfortune.

Ppiik!

Bbaek!

Ppyack!

The baby rabbits echoed Sejun’s shout enthusiastically.

Sejun had heard that Father Rabbit and the baby rabbits had climbed the Tower just to meet him.

Since it would feel like a shame to let them leave just like that, he thought he should do something for them.

Thus, he decided to let them join the treasure hunt.

Originally it would have been dangerous, but given who the members were, the difficulty dropped dramatically to the level of a picnic.

On top of that,

“Meow! Baby rabbits, form a line, meow!”

Bbaek?

[Uncle, can I touch your tail?]

“Then, Black Torch, grab my tail and follow me, meow!”

Ppyack.

[Uncle, I’m hungry.]

“Fatty, eat this Churu, meow! And look ahead while eating, meow!”

Theo, who returned to his uncle role after a long time, skillfully managed the baby rabbits.

The baby rabbits were too scared to approach Uncle Theo at first, but now they talked to him and even whined.

And then,

Kueng

[Follow Uncle Cueng!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Follow the great Uncle Blackie!]

Cuengi and Blackie also tried to act like uncles, but for some reason, they didn’t gain much popularity.

“Uhehehe. This way.”

They followed Uren’s lead as they made their way to find Misfortune’s divine relic.

“Mm.”

Sejun, with a serious expression, stared intently at the back of Father Rabbit’s head as he walked ahead of him.

The reason was…

Since he was the father rabbit, would it be Toppa? (TL: Toppa is a combination of the first and last characters from 토끼 아빠 (Father Rabbit or Dad Rabbit), forming 토빠 (Toppa))

Or, since he is Black Rabbit’s dad, would it be Blacka? (TL: It is combination of Black (흑) and 아 from 아빠 (Father/Dad) making it Blacka (흑아))

Sejun was trying to come up with a name for Father Rabbit.

He had grown so accustomed to calling him Father Rabbit that he hadn’t realized Father Rabbit didn’t actually have a name.

Kking?

[Butler! Why don’t you give him a name?]

Blackie’s question made Sejun realize that Father Rabbit didn’t have a name.

Thus, Pandora’s Box was opened by Blackie’s inquiry.

I should make it a name commemorating our first meeting.

Sejun recalled his first meeting with Father Rabbit.

Father Rabbit, you appeared on the surface drooling, stepped on my shoulder, and asked for green onions me.

At that time, you looked like a moon rabbit living on the moon, peeking through a round hole.

And then, you brought Mother Rabbit and rubbed salt in my wounds.

“Hmm. Alright, I’ve decided. Wolgang.”

Since you came down from the moon, Wolgang. (TL: Here, ‘Wol’ (월) means moon, and ‘Gang’ (강) means descent or descend, forming 월강, which means ‘descended from the moon’.)

After pondering for a while, Sejun spoke the name he had decided on.

“Mother Rabbit can be Wolha then.” (TL: Here, ‘Wol’ (월) means moon, and ‘Ha’ (하) means under or below, forming 월하, making it ‘Under the Moon’.)

Naturally, he gave Mother Rabbit a name too.

Once the names were given,

[The effect of Talent: Namer has been activated.]

[The name ‘Wolgang’ has been imbued with a special effect.]

[All stats have increased by 12.]

[Talent: Moon’s Essence has been awakened.]

[The name ‘Wolha’ has been imbued with a special effect.]

[All stats have increased by 12.]

[Talent: Moon’s Warmth has been awakened.]

The names Wolgang and Wolha were imbued with special effects.

Ppiik?!

[Sejun-nim gave me a name?!]

Thanks to this, Wolgang was deeply moved.

Kking!

[Butler! This isn’t fair!]

“Exactly! Something is wrong here!”

Kkiruk!

2a09:bac1:40c0:10::1d6:d8

Shalarang!

“This isn’t right!”

Kkak!

Ppiyak!

Blackie family expressed their dissatisfaction with Sejun’s naming skills.

Mumu!

Ppuu!

Especially, Mubalchil and Mukbupal were the most vocal in their complaints.

“We’ve arrived.”

While Sejun was busy naming, Uren pointed at an ominous building, announcing they had arrived at the location of Misfortune’s divine relic.

And then,

“Alright. Let’s start the treasure hunt. Everyone, follow carefully.”

[Heheh! Yes!]

Bbaek!

Ppyack!

Ppiyat!

Sejun with the reliable bodyguard Theo attached to his knee took the lead, and behind him Piyot, Uren, and then Wolgang and the baby rabbits followed in a line.

Kueng!

At the very back of the group, Cuengi stood ready to handle any emergencies.

Sejun and his companions entered the building with a bit of tension and anticipation at the thought of treasure hunting, but

“Huh?!”

Why wasn’t it hidden?

The divine relic, about the size of a fist, was sitting right in the middle of the central altar in plain view.

[Star that Blesses Misfortune]

A radiant yet ominous golden star.

[Huh?! We already found it?]

Bbaek…

Ppyack…

Ppiyat…

Flamie and the baby rabbits were greatly disappointed that the treasure had already been found so easily.

“Chairman Park, let’s examine the relic for now, meow!”

“Alright.”

Following Theo’s suggestion, Sejun picked up the relic and examined it.

[Star that Blesses Misfortune]

→ A divine relic created by Misfortune, the God of Misfortune, by embedding her authority into a star that fell to the ground.

→ It bestows a blessing that increases the wearer’s abilities using their misfortune. (The effect lasts as long as it is worn.)

→ Usage Restriction: Must be acknowledged as unfortunate by Misfortune, the God of Misfortune.

→ Creator: Misfortune, the God of Misfortune.

→ Gr

“It’s interesting how it blesses you according to how unfortunate you are.”

As Sejun marveled at the relic’s options,

[Misfortune, the God of Misfortune, says she will let you experience her relic.]

Misfortune offered her goodwill. She had heard from Uren, who carried her relic, that for him to thrive, he needed to stay on Sejun’s good side.

Thus, when Misfortune allowed him to test the relic,

[Star that Blesses Misfortune measures your usable misfortune.]

[Using the misfortune measured, it grants a blessing that increases all stats by 150.]

The relic boosted Sejun’s stats proportional to the amount of his misfortune.

“Oh, this is interesting. Vice Chairman Theo, you try it.”

“Puhuhut. Alright, meow!”

When Theo grabbed the relic,

[No misfortune detected.]

[Instead of misfortune, luck is used to grant a blessing that increases all stats by -20,000.]

For Theo, the relic reduced his stats instead of boosting them. It was more of a curse than a blessing, the divine relic’s other name must surely be the ‘Star that Curses Fortune’.

“Meow?! This feels awful, meow!”

Theo quickly withdrew his paws from the relic.

Having experienced the relic, Sejun handed it over.

“Here, take it.”

“Uhehe. Thank you.”

He handed the divine relic to Uren.

At that moment,

Bang!

A powerful shockwave erupted from Uren as soon as he touched the relic.

[Star that Blesses Misfortune measures your usable misfortune.]

[The misfortune measured is so vast that it cannot all be used.]

[The Star that Blesses Misfortune grants a blessing that maximizes all stats.]

The relic blessed Uren by using his misfortune.

The impact of the blessing was immense.

“Everyone, come here!”

Sejun quickly hugged Flamie and Blackie to shield them from the shockwave.

Kwakwang!

An enormous shockwave rushed toward Sejun, but,

[Talent: Master of Deflection reduces the force of the first attack by 99%.]

The talent’s effect nullified most of the impact.

Fortunately, the baby rabbits, who had gone outside out of disappointment with the treasure hunt, and Cuengi, who had escorted them, were unharmed by the shockwave.

“I… I’m so sorry!”

As Uren hurriedly bowed his head in apology,

Kwakwang!

Another shockwave erupted.

As Uren’s stats surged, even the smallest movements unleashed tremendous energy.

“Meow!”

Kueng!

This time, Theo, who had latched onto Sejun’s knee, and Cuengi, who had flown over quickly, blocked the shockwave.

Piyo…

[Sigh…]

Thump!

“Kuik!”

In the meantime, Piyot let out a deep sigh and struck Uren on the back of the head, knocking him out.

And then,

Piyo. Piyo.

[Sejun-nim, I’ll head to the 99th floor of the Tower with Uren once he wakes up. It seems he needs some special training from the Minotaur King.]

Piyot informed Sejun that he would take Uren to the 99th floor of the Tower for training with the Minotaur King.

Since Uren, unable to control his power, was no different from a ticking bomb, it was best for everyone that he undergo special training with the Minotaur King until he could master his strength.

“Alright.”

Leaving the two behind, Sejun stepped out of the building.

And then,

“We’re heading down to the first floor of the Tower now. Do you want to come with us?”

He asked Wolgang if he wanted to come along to the Tower’s first floor.

This was to give Kyung-chul the Relentless Hunter’s Bow, the divine relic of Hunt, the God of Hunting.

Ppi…iik!

[Ye…no!]

Wolgang shook his head vigorously after initially nodding instinctively in response to Sejun’s question.

His neck hurt from the abrupt motion, but it couldn’t be helped.

On the way here, he had suddenly realized,

‘Huh?!’

There were still a few lies he hadn’t been caught in yet.

Before he got exposed, he decided it was better to escape.

A short while later,

“Kids, take care!”

Ppiik!

Bbaek!

Ppyack!

Sejun waved back at the rabbits, who were enthusiastically waving their front paws at him, as he descended to the first floor of the Tower.

Combat Shop Headquarters.

“Battler-nim.”

Hunt who had returned went to find Battler.

“Huh?! How did it go?”

Battler, who had been waiting only for Hunt’s return, asked eagerly.

“Theo is calling for you to hurry over.”

“What?!”

“He stamped me too. He said you’ve got three days and to get there as fast as possible.”

Battler’s mind went blank at Hunt’s words.

“Theo said if you’re late, he’ll impeach you, so you’d better go quickly.”

Having delivered his message, Hunt returned home. He had promised he would craft bows to offer to Theo from now on.

“This… this can’t be…”

This is all because of Park Sejun! If only Park Sejun hadn’t used my divine relic…

As Battler who was left alone blamed Sejun

“Ahahahaha! I did it!”

Misfortune, the God of Misfortune, passed by him, laughing brightly.

Now that Uren had found all three of her divine relics, Misfortune had regained tremendous divine power. No longer was she dressed in rags.

Moreover, Curselina, the God of Curses, and Pober, the God of Poverty, who had lived alongside her on the streets, were now dressed elegantly in new clothes that Misfortune had bought for them.

It was all thanks to Park Sejun.

If Sejun hadn’t given her relic to Uren and hadn’t helped him find the other relics, she wouldn’t have been able to recover her divine power.

Unlike Battler, who resented Sejun, Misfortune was deeply grateful to him.

“Everyone, this is all thanks to Park Sejun. So if any of you ever get a chance to talk to him, make sure to treat him with the utmost kindness. Got it?”

“Yes, unnie!”

“Yes, noona!”

She warned her companions about how they should act toward Sejun.

Even within the Combat Shop Headquarters, the number of battle gods who held Sejun in high regard was steadily increasing.

***

[You have arrived at the 1st floor of the Black Tower.]

…

..

.

Upon reaching the 1st floor of the Tower, Sejun asked,

“Do you know where Kyung-chul is?”

He went to Kueng gang and asked the Black Bears about Kyung-chul’s location.

“Please wait a moment. We’ll find out immediately!”

The Black Bears scattered to search for Kyung-chul.

Meanwhile,

“Mom, Dad, I’m doing well.”

Sejun took a video of himself and his companions using his Hunter Phone and sent it to the Earth Defense Force Guild headquarters to deliver it to his family.

Although the threats to Earth had disappeared, the Earth Defense Force had not disbanded and was continuing as a guild to maintain its legacy.

After sending the video, Sejun returned to his original spot and quietly observed his surroundings.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

At that moment,

Kkyui!

Kkyui!

Sejun noticed hamsters from Hamk scurrying around the 1st floor of the Tower.

Although the threat of destruction had passed, the Black Tower and Hamk were still connected, and adventurous hamsters had begun exploring the Tower.

Just then,

“Sejun-nim, we’ve found him. He’s currently on the 2nd floor.”

One of the Black Bears reported Kyung-chul’s location to Sejun.

“The 2nd floor?”

Why is he there?

Sejun used a waypoint to move up to the 2nd floor of the Tower.

Kkyui! Kkyui!

“These hamsters have lapped me twice! Plant faster!”

The 2nd floor was bustling with hamsters and people planting green onions on the farm.

Ssibal the 18th, who had been instructed to plant green onions here, had hired hamsters and people to complete the farm as quickly as possible by paying them.

Farm Restoration Progress (80%)

Thanks to this effort, the farm restoration progress had significantly increased.

There he is!

Sejun spotted Kyung-chul amidst the crowd, planting green onions.

“Kyung-chul!”

When Sejun called out to him,

“Oh!”

Kyung-chul also spotted Sejun and ran over.

“Ah, that’s right! Flamie, this is Kyung-chul. He’s the one who gave me the apple you were born from.”

Sejun introduced Kyung-chul to Flamie.

[Hehe. Hello, Uncle Kyung-chul. Thank you for sending me to Sejun-nim.]

Flamie bowed at a 90-degree angle, sincerely thanking Kyung-chul. If it weren’t for Kyung-chul, she wouldn’t have met Sejun.

“Huh?! Oh, uh…”

Kyung-chul was flustered by Flamie’s polite greeting.

I’m not an uncle… I’m only 27…

Kyung-chul, who hadn’t even dated once yet felt too wronged at being called uncle.
