After lunch was over
“Phew. Why is it so exhausting today?”
Kking...
[Butler... even great Blackie is tired...]
“Me too...”
Kkiruk...
Shararang...
Unlike the others, only Sejun and the Blackie Family had deep dark circles under their eyes from extreme fatigue.
It was because they had unintentionally undergone special training all morning while playing tile-flipping with the children.
At that moment
Kueng!
[Dad, drink coffee and cheer up!]
Cuengi brewed some coffee and brought it to Sejun.
“Mm. Thanks.”
Slurp.
“Keu. That's nice.”
While Sejun was drinking coffee to shake off his fatigue
Kueng!
[Blackie, eat this!]
Cuengi handed sweet potato milk to Blackie
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Cuengi hyung! You're the best!]
Lick. Lick. Lick.
Blackie excitedly licked the sweet potato milk.
And so, they spent a lazy and peaceful time after the meal.
“Puhuhut. I heard there’s a snail groom here who grills fish well, meow! I, Magistrate Theo, order you to hand over the mysterious groom, meow! From now on, the snail groom will only grill fish for me, Magistrate Theo, meow!”
“Magistrate Theo, I cannot allow that. The snail groom is my husband.”
Sejun as my husband.
“Hehe...”
Aileen, delivering her line, couldn't help but let out a giggle from sheer joy.
Sejun and his group were rehearsing the performance of the tale of the Snail Bride. Now that the children were napping, it was the perfect time to rehearse.
“Refusal is refused, meow! Then let’s make a bet over the snail groom, meow!”
“Fine. I accept your challenge.”
“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Best of three rounds. Whoever wins two out of three gets the snail groom, meow! Meow... deputy Iona, what should the first bet be, meow?”
“(Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Since the rainy season is coming soon, we should reforest the barren mountain to prevent landslides. That way, Magistrate Theo can get promoted.) Magistrate, I suggest a contest to see who can plant more trees on the barren mountain.”
“The capable subordinate, deputy Iona, who secretly had feelings for Magistrate Theo, suggested a bet to plant trees on the barren mountain, thinking of Magistrate Theo.”
It was a bit different from the original, but it was the nature of this industry that even with the same script, a different director would produce a completely different work.
“Puhuhut. Very well, meow! Then let’s bet on who can plant more trees tomorrow, meow!”
“Sounds good. See you tomorrow.”
“And so, the farmer agreed to a bet with Magistrate Theo and went home to tell the snail groom what happened today. Ahem. Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”
Sejun, who was narrating, lowered his voice to act as the snail groom.
“Mm. Thank you.”
Sejun and Aileen looked into each other’s eyes and smiled warmly.
“......”
Ah. I zoned out for a second.
Momentarily distracted by Aileen’s beauty, Sejun quickly came back to his senses.
“And so, the night passed, and the bet began.”
Thud.
Along with the narration, Sejun struck the ground using the skill Land Moving skill embedded in Myler’s hoe.
Kugugung.
A mountain made of dirt rose high into the sky.
“Puhuhut. Did the farmer come alone, meow?! I, Magistrate Theo, am capable and brought many subordinates with me, meow!”
Theo said his line while laughing. There was no one behind Theo right now, but during the actual performance, he planned to bring rabbits from the Tower to use as extras.
As expected, Theo fits the villain role perfectly.
Sejun smiled in satisfaction as he watched the sinisterly laughing Theo. The role was a perfect match. No matter what he did, he looked sly and shady.
In such a good mood thanks to Theo’s brilliant acting, Sejun failed to realize he was wearing a similar smile to Theo’s. In the end, it was the pot calling the kettle black.
“For now, let’s say the snail groom stepped up and planted more trees and won the round.”
Because it would be a hassle to clean up if they actually planted trees on the mountain
Kugugung.
Sejun returned the ground to its original state as he spoke.
At that moment
[A quest has occurred.]
[Quest: Please find the [Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction] who was left behind in <Aidar> and bring them to the Kindergarten of Destruction.]
Reward: Increases the stored capacity of [Brilliant Darkness Earrings] +5%, <Earth Lv. 3> Evolution Experience 5%
A quest message appeared in front of Sejun.
“Let’s stop here for today.”
It was about time for the children to wake up, so Sejun stopped the performance rehearsal.
“Aileen, I’m going to go pick up the new student.”
“Okay. Be careful.”
After speaking with Aileen,
“Alright. Let’s go, everyone!”
He headed to the Black Tower with his companions.
***
[You have arrived on the 1st floor of the Black Tower.]
When Sejun arrived on the 1st floor of the tower
[The Tower’s administrator speaks in a disappointed tone, saying you haven’t been visiting the 99th floor of the tower enough lately.]
Kaiser spoke to him.
“Ah. Kaiser-nim, I’m sorry. I’ll just take care of my business and go there.”
After speaking to Kaiser,
“Paespaes, sorry for waking you, but can you open a dimensional gate to <Aidar>?”
He gently woke Paespaes.
(Pip-pip... yes.)
Swoosh.
With sleepy eyes, Paespaes quickly flew off and created the dimensional gate.
Baerorong.
Then climbed back onto Sejun’s shoulder and fell asleep again.
“Good job, Paespaes.”
Sejun patted Paespaes’s bottom and crossed the gate with his group.
And then
[You have arrived in the Level 1 world <Aidar>.]
A message appeared in front of him.
At that moment
Kugugung.
The ground began to shake violently.
And then
“Heeheehee. This is fun!”
Far off in the distance, a child the size of a mountain was jumping around wildly, wreaking havoc in the area.
“There he is. Vice Chairman Theo, go!”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Swoosh.
Theo vanished the moment he replied,
Bang!
"Kkeuk!"
Soon the child, who had been hit on the back of the head by Theo, was seen crashing to the ground.
“Eek! Why’d you hit me? That hurts!”
The child shot up in anger from the pain, but
“Puhuhut. I hit you because it’s supposed to hurt, meow!”
Bang!
He got hit hard in the back of the head again and collapsed.
“Ugh! I’m angry now!”
“Puhuhut. If you’re angry, you get hit more, meow!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The child was beaten until he lost consciousness.
Shuryuruk.
Once unconscious, the child returned to his original small size.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ve subdued him, meow! Did I do well, meow?!”
Theo used Light Speed Meow-Step to instantly move to Sejun and clung to his knee, asking with eyes full of determination to be praised.
“Yes. Vice Chairman Theo, well done.”
“Puhuhut. I know, meow! There’s nothing Vice Chairman Theo can’t do, meow!”
Theo stuck out his chin proudly, basking in Sejun’s praise.
Sejun patted Theo’s head and then approached the child.
And then
“Your name is YamYam.”
He gave the child the name YamYam, with the intention of making him behave quietly.
Holding the now-named YamYam in his arms,
“Let’s go back.”
Just as Sejun was about to return
[A quest has occurred.]
[Quest: <Aidar>'s damage rate has exceeded the threshold and is beginning to collapse. Please raise <Aidar>'s level within 1 hour to prevent the collapse.]
Reward: Peace for <Aidar>, incorporation of <Aidar> as a satellite world of <Earth>
A new quest appeared in front of Sejun.
It seemed <Aidar> had been severely damaged because YamYam was jumping around so much.
“Eok-Samchiri, but how do I raise Aidar’s level?”
After checking the quest details, Sejun asked [System Eok-Samchiri].
Until now, Sejun had mainly evolved worlds through quest rewards. So he didn’t know how to directly raise a world’s level.
[You can use the evolution experience of <Earth> that you possess to raise <Aidar>’s level.]
“Really? Then use it.”
While he did regret spending evolution experience that could be used to raise Earth’s level, it wasn’t worth sacrificing a world and the people in it just to save on resources.
[Understood.]
[Then, using 15% of <Earth>’s evolution experience, <Aidar>’s level will be raised.]
[<Aidar> has completed its evolution and has become a Level 2 world.]
As <Aidar>’s level increased
[As a quest completion reward, peace has come to <Aidar>.]
[As a quest completion reward, <Aidar> has been incorporated as a satellite world of Earth.]
[<Earth> now possesses one Level 2 satellite world, and all stats of beings living on <Earth> have increased by +20.]
A quest completion message appeared.
So having a satellite world gives this kind of effect?
Sejun learned something new.
At that moment
[You have achieved the great feat of incorporating the first satellite world into <Earth>.]
[As a reward for this great achievement, you have obtained the <Title: Attractor of Satellite Worlds>.]
A reward appeared just for Sejun, who brought a satellite world to Earth.
<Title: Attractor of Satellite Worlds>
→ You can receive 0.01% of the rewards earned through the system by the residents of the incorporated satellite world once a year. (Reward to be received in 365 days: Strength 0.001, Stamina 0.03, Agility 0.014, Magic Power 0.12, EXP 700, 100 Tower Coins)
“Oh!”
Receiving rewards every year?!
Sejun let out a cry of joy as he checked the title. Though the current reward wasn’t much, he was already excited for the one he’d receive after 365 days.
“Hehehe. Let’s go, everyone.”
Thanks to that, Sejun happily returned to the Black Tower,
[You have arrived on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]
and headed to the 99th floor.
As Sejun and his group arrived
Moo!
[It’s Sejun-nim!]
Whirr! Whirr!
[Sejun-nim is here! It’s breaking news!]
Kkwek!
[Welcome, Sejun-nim!]
The residents of the 99th floor of the Tower welcomed Sejun.
-Uwahahaha. Sejun came because he missed me?!
-What nonsense?! He came because he missed me, not you, Kellion!
-What kind of disgraceful behavior is this in front of Sejun?
The heads of the Nine Towers also moved their dragon statues to greet Sejun.
At that moment
Kueng! Kueng!
[Mom’s not here! I don’t smell Mom on the 99th floor of the Tower!]
Cuengi, panicked because he didn’t see Pink-fur. His big eyes welled up with tears, on the verge of crying.
“Huh? Where’s Pink-fur?!”
Seeing Cuengi like that, Sejun urgently looked around and asked.
Whirr. Whirr.
[Pink-fur-nim went to the 42nd floor of the Tower. She’s going to run a kindergarten there for the children of the Tower.]
Poisonous Bee No. 13,124, a reporter for Honey Bee News, shared the news about Pink-fur.
Kueng?!
Upon hearing about Pink-fur, Cuengi instantly stopped crying.
“Pink-fur’s running a kindergarten on the 42nd floor of the Tower? Then I should go check it out.”
Sejun quickly handed Samyangju and snacks to the dragons
“Guys, can you find out where the land deed for the 42nd floor of the Tower is?”
While preparing food for the 99th-floor residents, he asked for information about the 42nd-floor land deed.
Since the 42nd floor hadn’t yet been saved as a waypoint, Sejun couldn’t go there himself.
"Cuengi, do you want to go see mom first? Dad will be with Theo hyung, so don't worry."
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Cuengi, trust your big hyung and go see your Mom, meow!”
Sejun and Theo reassured Cuengi.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
“Hehehe. Okay! Cuengi will go see Mom!”
Persuaded by the two, Cuengi felt at ease and decided to go see Pink-fur.
"Right. Then dad will be waiting on the closest 44th floor at lunch tomorrow, so come there. Iona, please go with Cuengi.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
Although Cuengi was strong, Sejun knew he lacked real-world experience because he was still young, so he asked Iona to go with him.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
“Hehehe. Got it! Dad, see you tomorrow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo-nim, see you tomorrow.”
And so, Cuengi and Iona moved to the 42nd floor of the Tower, and Sejun and his group returned to Earth.
Then
“Huh?”
When Sejun arrived at the Kindergarten of Destruction
"Come on. Pull!"
“Teecher-nim, can’t we stop now?”
“I want to stop!”
“No!”
He found 15 kids, tattered and worn out, in the middle of intense tug-of-war special training with Aileen.
Is this hell?
Shiver.
YamYam, held in Sejun’s arms, trembled.
