Solo Farming In The Tower

Earth.

In front of the Black Tower in Gangnam.

“Sejun, it’s time to wake up.”

Aileen, who was kneeling next to Sejun lying on the ground, called Sejun in a soft voice and carefully stroked his hair as if handling something that might break at any moment.

The safe zone only blocks energy. It doesn’t block physical force, so touching Sejun had to be done with care.

Kihihihi. I can see my Sejun this close. Even when he’s sleeping, he’s handsome.

While Aileen looked at Sejun with loving eyes and felt happiness,

“Puhuhut. Aileen noona, don’t worry since I, Vice Chairman Theo, am here, meow! Chairman Park’s face is a bit ugly, but not seriously ugly, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. That’s right.”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. At this level, Dad will wake up soon!]

(Pip-pip. That’s right.)

Theo, Iona, Cuengi, and Paespaes, Sejun’s dedicated massage therapists, stepped on Sejun’s face while treating him.

And then

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Youngest! When butler faints or his face gets ugly, just step on him first!]

Blackie stepped on Sejun’s face while teaching Taecho when to step on Sejun’s face.

“Okay! Blackie oppa. Hehehe.”

Taecho could’ve used her hands, but since Blackie told her to step, she sat her butt on the floor, extended both hands behind her, and stretched her legs to energetically stomp on Sejun’s face.

Hehe. Being called oppa isn’t bad.

Blackie, hearing the word ‘oppa’ for the first time, made a pleased expression.

***

“Huh?!”

Is she a celebrity?

A hunter who was about to enter the Black Tower saw Aileen and stopped walking. No, he was captivated.

Her overwhelming beauty made it impossible to look away.

Glossy, swaying black hair.

Jade-like skin that glowed with a soft light.

Black eyes that seemed to draw you in.

A high nose bridge.

Shiny red lips.

She wasn’t wearing any makeup, yet she was just perfect. Even with makeup, it seemed impossible to make her any more beautiful.

No. It would probably ruin her perfection.

This isn’t the beauty of this world…

As the hunter was mesmerized by Aileen’s beauty, when he barely regained his senses

“Ah….”

He saw that others around him were also blankly staring at Aileen’s face.

Huhut. So I wasn’t the only one.

The hunter felt a sense of camaraderie and pride that he had experienced it first.

A moment later.

“Is she a celebrity?”

“Probably not. I’ve never seen her before.”

“Then, a trainee?”

“Hey. Just film her. With that face, she’ll become famous no matter what, so what’s the worry?”

Click.

Click.

Some reporters who had come to their senses began taking pictures of Aileen with their huge cameras. Reporters were always stationed in front of the Black Tower to cover hunters.

However

“Huh? Why is the photo messed up? Is the camera broken? No, it works fine with everything else….”

“You too? Mine’s coming out weird too.”

“Same here. What’s going on?”

The photos they took didn’t properly capture Aileen’s image. Naturally. The great black dragon Aileen didn’t permit her image to be recorded.

As people began to crowd around Aileen, thinking something interesting was going on, more people were drawn in, and that attracted even more people.

Of course, Aileen didn’t care at all about their gazes. A person wouldn’t care just because many ants were looking at them.

However

What is this?

If it’s noisy, my Sejun can’t sleep.

The commotion was bothering her. She was fine with waking him herself, but she didn’t want Sejun to wake up from other noises.

Should I silence them?

Just as Aileen was about to use magic

“Mm….”

Sejun began to regain consciousness.

“Sejun, are you awake?”

As Aileen’s bright voice reached his ears

Is this a dream?

It feels like Aileen’s voice is right next to me.

Sejun closed his eyes again with a happy expression. If this was a dream, it was one he never wanted to wake from.

However

Whack! Thud! Whack! Thud!

Blackie, you bastard! Step more gently!

Among the feet massaging his face, Blackie’s rough stomping made it impossible for him to focus on the dream.

“Let me sleep!”

Sejun suddenly sat up and shouted.

“Sejun, you’re awake?”

Welcoming Sejun was a beautiful black flower. If he leaned in just a little more, their lips would touch.

Gulp.

“…Yeah.”

Ah. Park Sejun, you stupid bastard! You should’ve gotten more excited and leaned in just a bit more!

104.28.193.250

As he grasped the situation and barely managed to respond, Sejun cursed himself for stopping at such an ambiguous distance.

And he began pondering how to close that one-finger-length gap.

It was a distance that could be closed with the slightest movement, but their breaths seemed to warp space and time, making it feel unbearably far. Like millions of light-years away.

Should I pretend to stumble?

Right now, I don’t even have the strength to hold myself up.

Yeah. I’m still half-asleep.

I can do this! Park Sejun!

Just as Sejun was brainwashing himself and preparing to stumble forward

“Who is that squid?”

“Why isn’t he getting his face off the goddess already?!”

“Back away!”

“Boooo!”

The people gathered around began condemning Sejun for ‘daring’ to be face-to-face with Aileen.

To them, it was a combination they could never understand.

Calling a person a squid?!

Infuriated, Sejun quickly turned his head in the direction of the voices.

Dad’s not a squid!

With an outraged expression, Taecho was toddling forward toward the people who had called Sejun a squid.

That’s right. Good job, my daughter!

Sejun cheered for Taecho.

Uhihihi. Daddy’s looking at me!

Sensing Sejun’s gaze, Taecho proudly walked with a dignified stride and stood confidently before the people.

“Taecho’s dad isn’t a squid! He’s a person!”

She shouted in a confident voice.

It wasn’t incorrect, but still

…He’s a person?

Sejun was more hurt by the fact that she said he was a person than by being called a squid.

And then

Daughter?

Her and him? Together?

He was hurt again by the looks of disbelief from people who glanced back and forth between Sejun and Taecho.

As the Primordial God, Taecho’s appearance was naturally beautiful and adorable. It was a face that could never come from Sejun’s genes.

“Eek! Park Taecho really is Park Sejun’s daughter!”

Reading the people’s thoughts faintly, Taecho puffed up her cheeks and shouted loudly once again.

At that moment, something strange happened.

“Ah. Park Sejun does have a daughter named Park Taecho.”

“That’s right. Park Taecho is three years old.”

“The woman next to him is her mom.”

People suddenly started talking about Taecho as if someone had informed them.

Excited, Taecho had unconsciously used her power to forcefully implant the idea into everyone’s minds: “Park Sejun and Aileen Pritani are Park Taecho’s parents! And Park Taecho is three years old!”

“That’s right! Park Taecho is Park Sejun’s daughter!”

Taecho was thrilled to be acknowledged as Sejun’s daughter by the crowd.

I’m sleepy…

Suddenly, sleep came crashing down like a landslide. It seemed she had overexerted herself while using her power.

“Daddy, I’m sleepy….”

Drifting into sleep, Taecho wobbled toward Sejun

Plop.

Just before she collapsed to the ground, Sejun hurriedly caught her in his arms.

At that moment

“Sejun-nim?!”

Kim Dong-sik, who came out from the Black Tower, called out to Sejun.

“Ah. Dong-sik-nim, hello.”

“Puhuhut. Dong-sik, good to see you, meow!”

Sejun and Theo stood up and greeted Dong-sik.

And then

“This is my girlfriend, Aileen.”

Sejun confidently introduced Aileen to Dong-sik.

In response

“Nice to meet you. Human Kim Dong-sik. I am the great black dragon, Aileen Pritani.”

Soon to be married to Sejun.

Since she had yet to be proposed to by Sejun, Aileen withheld the last part and formally introduced herself.

“Huh? Uh… yes….”

At Aileen’s natural tone of superiority, Dong-sik instinctively bowed his head.

“Puhuhut. And I am the great black dragon….”

Following Aileen’s introduction, Theo also introduced himself with an excited voice.

Of course, none of it registered in Dong-sik’s ears.

A dragon?!

Dong-sik, still bowing his head, was screaming internally.

People on Earth also knew about the great black dragon who managed the Black Tower. They had heard it countless times from the Tower’s residents.

Things like: one breath from the great black dragon erased an entire floor, her mere presence wiped out enemies due to overwhelming presence, or just her roar made the 99th floor boss of the Black Tower, the Minotaur King, kneel.

Even if only part of what they heard from the Tower’s residents was true, it would be a calamity for Earth.

I have to inform Master quickly!

While Dong-sik hurriedly pulled out his smartphone

Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi is Park Sejun’s son, Park Cuengi! Cuengi got a younger sister yesterday! Cuengi’s younger sister’s name is Park Taecho! And Cuengi is the Beast of Apocalypse! So…]

Following Theo, Cuengi was also eagerly introducing himself.

And then

(Bahehehe.)

Kihihit.

Paespaes and Blackie were also waiting in line, their eyes gleaming, preparing to introduce themselves.

“Park Taecho, 3 years old, the Primordial God and…”

Taecho also began hurriedly creating her introduction while looking at her older brothers.

A moment later.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking! Kking!

“Are you heading home now?”

Ignoring Blackie’s enthusiastic barking, Dong-sik asked Sejun. Dong-sik couldn’t understand what Cuengi and Blackie were saying.

“Yes. I plan to stay at home for a few days while looking for a place to live.”

“Ah, yes. A place to live… Wait, what?! A few days?!”

“Yes. I’ll be living here for a while. Maybe a month?”

“What?!”

Dong-sik was once again shocked by Sejun’s words. Normally, Sejun’s stay on Earth lasted only a few hours. So he only needed to be on alert for a few hours.

But he was going to live in Korea for a month?!

With a dragon?!

This was a total emergency.

“Let’s head home first. I’ll give you a ride!”

To prevent any problems, Dong-sik hurriedly got Sejun and his party into the car.

As Sejun and the group left in Dong-sik’s car

“Wow. Good thing the daughter got all her genes from the mother.”

“Yeah. Truly a blessing.”

People muttered to themselves, thinking about Taecho, who looked nothing like Sejun.

Sadly, changing the fact that Sejun looked like a squid was beyond Taecho’s powers.

It was far harder to alter existing perceptions than to implant new facts.

“Still, now that I think about it, the dad didn’t look completely like a squid.”

“Right. It was probably just because the ones next to him were too pretty.”

Still, it seemed like she had shifted things a little.

***

On the way home.

Should I grab it?

Is it okay to?

With Theo on his lap, Cuengi, Blackie, and Taecho in his arms, and Paespaes on his shoulder, Sejun hesitated with his hand while glancing at Aileen sitting beside him.

“How’s Kyung-chul these days?”

As he spoke to Dong-sik,

Slide.

He boldly placed his hand over Aileen’s hand.

I did it!

I didn’t faint!

Sejun smiled happily at the fact that he was holding hands with Aileen without passing out.

Kihihihi. I’m holding hands with Sejun!

Aileen, who had been waiting for Sejun’s hand to come to her, raised the corners of her lips with a grin.

Meanwhile

“Meow?”

Plop.

Theo, not knowing exactly why, followed Sejun and placed his front paw on top of Sejun’s hand.

And then

Kueng?

(Pip-pip?)

Kking?

Following their eldest brother, the younger ones also placed their paws on top of one another, and smiles bloomed on all four of their faces.

“Ah, Kyung-chul? These days, he’s on the 49th floor…”

As Dong-sik talked about Kyung-chul, Sejun and the others, holding hands together, shared a happy moment, and before they knew it, they had almost arrived home.

And then

“Huh?! Was there a building like that before?”

While driving, Dong-sik looked at a newly erected building next to Sejun’s house and two houses down from his own.

[Kindergarten of Destruction]

Kindergarten named Destruction…

The kindergarten teacher must be having a rough time?

When Dong-sik was worrying about the kindergarten teacher while looking at the kindergarten sign,

“It’s Teecha-nim!”

“Teecha-nim!”

From inside the kindergarten, toddlers in diapers ran toward Dong-sik’s car.
