Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

PR: MiniPixelZ

Tartarus, the prison of the gods.

Pusshuk.

“Keoek!”

Sweetie stabbed the guard standing in front of her with her venomous sting.

And

Whirr?

[Are you certain this guy is Rascal’s last remaining minion?]

She asked as she stared coldly at Ganjalli, the God of Sycophants.

Since even a small mistake could later lead to grave danger, Sweetie did not tolerate errors.

“Y-yes! That is correct!”

At Sweetie’s question, Ganjalli trembled with fear and shouted as if crying out in desperation.

Whirr. Whirr. Whirr.

[Good. Then let’s go see Rascal. I’m curious what expression he’ll make this time.]

“Yes!”

Sweetie, who had removed all of Rascal’s eyes and ears, headed back to the prison where Rascal was confined. She had also gathered some information during her investigation, so Rascal wouldn’t be able to keep smiling this time.

Creak.

As Sweetie entered,

“We’re seeing each other too often. They say frequent meetings build fondness… but it seems Tartarus has become noisy because of me. Don’t you think you’re being too harsh?”

Once again Rascal greeted Sweetie with a smirk. However, he didn’t seem so relaxed this time, as the edges of his forced smile trembled slightly.

Whirr.

[That’s a more tolerable expression than last time.]

Sweetie ignored Rascal’s words and replied in a lofty voice, as if to show who held the upper hand.

Then

Whirr. Whirr.

[Rascal-nim, I’ve obtained an interesting piece of information. I heard you were planning an escape.]

She mentioned something Rascal absolutely did not want revealed.

“……”

Even at Sweetie’s words, Rascal simply grinned silently.

How did she find out?!

No, he was desperately trying to hide his agitation.

However

104.28.193.250

Whirr. Whirr. Whirr?

[There’s no use pretending. I already have the evidence and witnesses. And you know, don’t you? Prisoners who attempt to escape must rot in prison for life until they perish.]

As Sweetie continued to speak, Rascal’s expression froze solid. At the same time, he regretted it.

I should have been more careful…

Since the former Warden, Helta, the God of Tyrants, had little interest in managing Tartarus, Rascal felt safe planning an escape. Who would’ve thought the warden would be replaced?

A long silence followed.

I can hear your gears turning from here.

Sweetie waited leisurely, intending to hear what Rascal would propose.

And then

“Warden-nim, is there something you desire from me?”

Rascal asked in a polite tone, using honorifics, a clear sign of total surrender.

“Hmm. Let’s see. I wonder if there is something I want?”

To Rascal’s words, Sweetie replied cryptically.

Revealing your desires first in a negotiation is something only amateurs do.

Since I don’t possess overwhelming power like Sejun-nim, I have to play it this way, even if it’s a bit tedious.

Of course, the power Sweetie spoke of wasn’t Sejun’s personal power but the strength of the Sejun Family.

As Sweetie fell silent again,

“Warden-nim, I will give you everything I have. So please turn a blind eye.”

Rascal pleaded earnestly with desperate eyes.

It was more advantageous to give up all his treasures and get a chance than to rot here until his end. He could always go out and steal more treasures again.

“Well, let’s see. I’ll look at the items first.”

Sweetie conditionally accepted Rascal’s offer, hiding her victorious smile.

“Sigh… Thank you. If you take this key, you can go to the world where the treasure lies. And the treasure vault as well…”

Rascal handed one key to Sweetie and spoke the name of the world where his right eye was located.

So that’s why he only had one eye before entering Tartarus, he had hidden his right eye to protect the key to the treasure vault.

And thus, Sweetie obtained the treasure vault key.

Whirr.

[Seventh, come to me.]

Whirr?!

[Sweetie-nim, did you call for me?!]

Using the power of the Poisonous Queen Bee, she summoned Seventh.

Then

Whirr.

[You will be the warden in my place.]

Whirr!

[Yes!]

She handed over the warden’s position to Seventh. That way, she could return to the Black Tower.

The other Poisonous Bees also developed divinity after consuming Flamie’s nutritional supplements, so there was no issue with Seventh receiving Sweetie’s position as warden.

Whirr. Whirr.

[Manage this place well and secure any helpful information.]

Whirr! Whirr!

[Yes! Leave it to me!]

And so, after entrusting Tartarus to Seventh, Sweetie left.

Whirr. Whirr?

[Wihihit. Am I going to rule this place now?]

Power tastes sweet.

Seventh sat arrogantly at the warden’s desk, elated.

A short while later.

“Huh? Who are you?!”

Ganjalli, who had come into the warden’s office to report, shouted upon seeing Seventh instead of Sweetie.

Whirr!

[I am the new Warden, Seventh-nim!]

“What?!”

Why are you the warden?! I was next in line!

Ganjalli, the God of Sycophants, and Seventh, the sycophant of the Poisonous Bees, glared at each other. Their personalities clashed.

Thus began a power struggle between the two.

Whirr! Whirr?!

[How DARE you! How DARE you look directly at me! Do you wish to taste my venomous sting?!]

Seventh, in a sharp voice, pulled out the Poisonous Bee’s ultimate weapon, the venomous sting.

“N-no, not at all. I’m sorry!”

Ganjalli quickly backed down.

***

Kamyeoldaeseong.

Three days had passed since returning from the White Tower.

Sejun and his companions could see the two groups of calamities that Corruption had sent today as well.

And then

Kueng!

[Surrender!]

Bukbuk!

[Surrender or death!]

Bukbuk! Bukbuk!

[Show your belly and you’ll live! Show your back and you’ll die!]

Following Cuengi’s orders, 800 Bukbuks overpowered 200 Planet-Destroying Turtles

Jiiing.

Jiiing.

and defeated 2,000 Ogres.

As the anticlimactic battle ended,

[You have completed the Tower Master Quest.]

[As a reward for completing the Tower Master Quest, you are recognized as the Master of the 10th Tower.]

A quest completion message appeared before Sejun.

I’m really a building owner now!

Sejun was deeply moved.

System bastard, if you pull another absurd stunt, I won’t let it slide!

As Sejun warily anticipated what the system might do next,

[You have been granted exclusive Tower Master Powers usable only by the Master of the 10th Tower.]

[Due to stats limitations, some powers have been restricted.]

[<Exclusive Power of the 10th Tower Master: Banishment> has been granted.]

[<Exclusive Power of the 10th Tower Master: Demotion> has been granted.]

[<Exclusive Power of the 10th Tower Master: 10th Tower’s Protection> has been granted.]

A message stating that exclusive powers had been granted appeared before Sejun.

So you’re going to screw me over after all. I’ll definitely impeach you.

With a burning desire to impeach the system, Sejun checked the powers.

<Exclusive Power of the 10th Tower Master: Banishment>

→ Banishes the designated entity from the 10th Tower. (The stronger the resistance of the target, the more magic power consumed.)

<Exclusive Power of the 10th Tower Master: Demotion>

→ Deletes all Waypoint records of the designated entity and demotes them to the 1st floor of the 10th Tower. (The stronger the resistance of the target, the more magic power consumed.)

<Exclusive Power of the 10th Tower Master: 10th Tower’s Protection>

→ The 10th Tower bestows its blessing to protect the Tower Master.

“Is this good?”

Just by reading the descriptions, I can’t tell.

“Banish Hel-nim.”

So to test it, he tried banishing Hel, one of the freeloader residents.

Then

[You are attempting to banish Hel, the god who lost her divinity.]

[Hel, the god who lost her divinity, is resisting strongly in an rude manner.]

[To banish Hel, the god who lost her divinity, you need a Magic Power stat of at least 1 billion.]

The message appeared.

“Hm.”

It requires 1 billion magic power?! Useless.

“Demote Hel-nim.”

Sejun then used the next power on Hel as well.

And

[You are attempting to demote Hel, the god who lost her divinity.]

[Hel, the god who lost her divinity, is resisting strongly in an rude manner.]

[To demote Hel, the god who lost her divinity, you need a Magic Power stat of at least 300 million.]

Hel resisted again.

“This one’s useless too.”

Sejun decided to disregard the powers of “Banishment” and “Demotion” as if they didn’t exist.

“Cuengi, try releasing your power just a little bit.”

Next, to test the 10th Tower’s Protection, he had Cuengi unseal his power.

However.

Kueng!

[Cuengi will release power as gently as possible, but dad must be careful!]

“Okay.”

Crack crack crack.

“S-stop!”

Even just a bit of Cuengi’s released power caused the blessing to crack.

In the end, all three powers he received turned out to be useless.

The test subject might’ve been the problem, but if the powers couldn’t even withstand that level of test, Sejun had no use for them. Any problem would be resolved before needing them.

“Well, whatever. As long as I’m the building owner. Hahaha.”

Even though all three powers were useless, Sejun grinned with satisfaction at having become the Master of the 10th Tower.

“On such a good day like today, we can’t just let it pass! It’s party time!”

He decided to throw a party.

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow! Chairman Park, let’s have a grilled fish party, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I like that too! Sejun-nim, how about a peanut party?”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi wants a honey rice cake party!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! We absolutely must have Extremely Delicious Royal Honey Sweet Potatoes party!]

At Sejun’s suggestion, everyone started insisting on the kind of party they wanted.

However.

“Hehehe. Why fight? Let’s just do them all.”

Now a building owner, Sejun was generous.

And so, deciding to throw the party, they returned to the Black Tower.

Whirr!

[Sejun-nim!]

Sweetie, who had returned from Tartarus, flew over to Sejun

Rub rub.

and rubbed her body against his face affectionately.

“Sweetie! You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?!”

Sejun asked as he inspected Sweetie’s body.

Whirr. Whirr…

[I’m fine. Sejun-nim, I…]

I need to get praised quickly!

Sweetie quickly told Sejun the information she had obtained from Rascal.

And then.

Whirr.

[This is the key.]

She handed Sejun a rusty key.

[Secret Key of Rascal, the God of Thieves]

→ A key that opens the treasure vault of Rascal, the God of Thieves.

→ If you infuse the key with magic power, it will open a path to the world where the treasure is hidden.

“Hehehe. Sweetie, well done.”

When Sejun patted Sweetie’s head,

I knew it was worth finding!

Sweetie beamed brightly, wearing a proud expression.

As Sejun praised Sweetie,

Thud. Thud.

Pink-fur showed up to get choco pies.

“Hold on.”

Sejun went to the kitchen and filled Pink-fur’s snack pouch with choco pies, then had breakfast with the group.

And then.

“Shall we go?”

Sejun stood up with his companions.

Whirr

[Yes.]

Sweetie, sitting on Sejun’s right shoulder, answered excitedly. This time, Sweetie was coming along too.

Whirr.

Whirr.

With 1 million Poisonous Bees who came to protect Sweetie.

“Open!”

Sejun infused the secret key of Rascal with magic power and shouted boldly.

But.

……

There was no response from Rascal’s secret key. Sejun’s magic power was far too insufficient to open a path connected to another world.

“Ahem. Guys, want to try infusing it with magic power together?”

Pretending to offer the others a chance, Sejun spoke.

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I’m in!”

Kueng!

Kking!

Whirr!

One by one, their paws stacked onto the key.

Wooong.

A hole opened in mid-air.

And when they passed through the hole,

[You have arrived in the Level 0 World <Manota>.]

A message from [System 371] informed Sejun of the world’s level and name.

There’s such a thing as a Level 0 world?

“Vice Chairman Theo, energy absorption to maximum.”

“Understood, meow!”

Though curious, Sejun instructed Theo to absorb as much of his energy as possible, there might be danger to nearby life forms.

However.

“Chairman Park, I don’t think anyone lives here, meow!”

There were no life forms in the area.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. That’s right. Nothing’s showing up on the magic scan. Except for one thing over there.”

Iona pointed in one direction,

Kwoong. Kwoong.

The ground trembled as something massive approached from the direction Iona had pointed.

A short while later.

[One-Eyed Sentinel]

A colossal one-eyed golem appeared before the group. It was larger than a small hill.

Kuong!

Without warning, the golem swung its fist toward the group.

It raised its fist at Dad!

Kueng!

[Cuengi is angry!]

Enraged, Cuengi gigantified and delivered a cross counter with his giant fist.

Kwaang!

Thus the golem with its abdomen blown through by Cuengi’s punch collapsed, and from the impact, the golem’s eyeball rolled toward the group.

The golem’s eyeball resembled the pupil of Rascal, the God of Thieves.
