TL: Hanguk
99th floor of the Black Tower.
(Pip-pip. Good night, everyone!)
Having slept well, Paespaes started its activities.
As usual, it headed to the kitchen to eat some fruit.
(Pip-pip! Open!)
I’ll use this one day to go on journey with Sejun-nim!
Paespaes, dreaming of the day it would travel through dimensions with Sejun, continued to open and close the dimensional gate, gradually increasing its size.
As it was exploring various dimensions,
(Pip-pip! That’s meat that will make Sejun-nim stronger!)
Whirr.
It discovered Locusts that had invaded a world called <Skudo>.
I have to take these!
Paespaes couldn’t miss out on Sejun’s nutritional supplements.
Pook. Pook. Pook.
It planted a bunch of Sturdy Blade Green Onion leaves in areas where the locusts were visible.
While it could have attacked directly, that would damage the locust corpses and require it to pick them up one by one.
After planting the green onion leaves, Paespaes moved to a quiet spot and started practicing its self-created skills.
(Ultimate Paespaes Spin!)
(Paespaes Driver!)
(Paespaes Super Drill!)
It tried out various names that suited the new skills it was developing.
After several hours of intense training and skill naming,
However,
(Pip-pip… I don’t like any of these names.)
It couldn’t come up with a satisfying skill name.
Paespaes wanted to perfect the skill names and show them to Sejun, but,
It’s hard doing this alone. I’ll have to ask Sejun-nim to name the skills!
Eventually, it decided to ask Sejun, who had excellent(?) talent in naming things.
The thought of Sejun creating names for its new skills made Paespaes excited.
(Pihehe!)
I’m so happy!
A pinkish smile spread across Paespaes’ face.
Maybe it hadn’t liked the names from the start because it wanted Sejun to name them all along.
(Pip-pip! I should head back now!)
After finishing its training, Paespaes returned to the area where it had planted the green onion leaves. There, it found locusts that had died from eating the Sturdy Blade Green Onion leaves.
And then,
“The Great God of Green Onions has sent the holy green onion to eradicate evil for us!”
“Thank you, Great Green Onion God!”
“O, Great Green Onion God, please have mercy and send us more green onions!”
Beside the area where the green onions were planted, the cute Skudo tribe, a race of dwarfish, chubby creatures, were bowing and praying towards the green onions that Paespaes had planted.
(Pip-pip! Those green onions were sent by Park Sejun-nim!)
Paespaes quickly stepped forward to correct the misunderstanding.
(Pip-pip! By the way, I am Sejun-nim’s subordinate, Paespaes!)
It even emphasized its relationship with Sejun.
“O, Great Park Sejun-nim, please protect us!”
“O, Great Park Sejun-nim’s subordinate, Paespaes-nim, please bless us with green onions!”
Thanks to this, the Skudo tribe began to revere both Sejun and Paespaes, worshiping Sejun as their protector deity.
Thus, Paespaes successfully established Sejun as the guardian deity of <Skudo>.
It planted green onions around the Skudo tribe’s village and took care of the surrounding locusts.
(Pip-pip! If we put locust meat through this hole, Sejun-nim will be delighted!)
Paespaes instructed the Skudo tribe to prepare the locust meat and pass it through the dimensional gate.
A few hours later,
On the 99th floor of the Black Tower, a huge pile of locust meat had accumulated.
(Pip-pip! Today too, I’ve collected lots of meat today that will make Sejun-nim stronger!)
Paespaes looked at the mountain of locust meat with a pleased tone.
And then,
(Pip-pip… I need to get Sejun-nim to name my skills…)
Back home, Paespaes waited for Sejun to wake up, but,
Baerorong.
It fell asleep, dozing off before it knew it.
***
“Alright!”
Sejun woke up energetically as usual.
[300,000 residents of <Skudo>have elected you as the guardian deity of <Skudo>.]
[Your divinity is insufficient to become the guardian deity of <Skudo>.]
[Please designate a proxy guardian deity to become the guardian deity of <Skudo> in your place.]
[You can revoke proxy guardian deity’s status at any time.]
“Hehehe.”
Looks like Paespaes pulled off something good again.
Sejun grinned widely as he looked at the message before him.
Hearing from Paespaes how he had ended up as a guardian deity, Sejun understood the situation.
Becoming a guardian deity didn’t have any major benefits for Sejun. Even though he had divine power, he couldn’t use it.
But,
He could still gain the effects of the title.
By designating a proxy guardian deity, he could trigger the effects of the <Title: One Who Overwhelms Gods>, increasing all his stats by 50 and his divinity by 2.
I’ll have to praise our Paespaes tonight.
Since Paespaes was currently asleep, Sejun decided he’d stay up late to praise him properly.
Just then,
Gororong.
Pirorong.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
…
..
.
“Huh?”
One particular snore caught Sejun’s attention, turning his gaze in that direction.
It was Piyot.
There, snuggled on Theo’s fluffy front paw, using Theo’s fur as a nest, was the Piyot, sleeping peacefully on Sejun’s lap.
As expected, it was Theo’s right front paw.
‘Did he come with Uren?’
Sejun smiled as he looked at Piyot, then
“Meow…”
Carefully lifted Theo onto his lap so Piyot wouldn’t fall.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Piyot was holding onto Theo’s paw tightly with his feet, so he wasn’t likely to fall.
Kking…
Next, Sejun put the Blackie family into his sling bag.
Swish.
Drawing a line on the wall, he began his morning routine on the 465th day of entering the Tower.
As Sejun left the bedroom,
Yurorong.
He heard Uren’s snoring from the guest room.
So they did come together after all.
Sejun quietly closed the front door, careful not to wake Uren, and stepped outside.
Then,
“Wow.”
Is all of this locust meat?!
Before him stood a huge mountain of locust meat that Paespaes had brought.
And there was a sign in front of the mountain:
[Sejun-nim, eat this meat and get stronger! – From Paespaes]
Paespaes…
Sejun was touched by Paespaes’s gift.
I should give him a present too…
Thinking of a gift for Paespaes, he wandered around the farm.
After walking for about 30 minutes,
[The wheat expresses is grateful for the farmer’s footsteps and lends its strength.]
[The effect of <Great Blessing of the Crops (Master)> activates, increasing the potential of your Magic Power stat from 7167 to 7177.]
The wheat thanked Sejun, boosting his potential. The wheat given by Cecilia didn’t have any special abilities, so it was simply called wheat.
Step. Step.
With his potential increased, Sejun kept walking, and when his Strength potential rose again,
Kueng!
Cuengi, who had just woken up, came looking for Sejun.
“Cuengi, did you sleep well?”
Kueng!
Cuengi responded, clinging to Sejun’s side like a piece of gum and rubbing his face against Sejun to soak in his scent.
Kuehehehe.
As Sejun petted Cuengi’s head and strolled around the farm,
Flap. Flap.
Piyo!
[Sejun-nim, good morning!]
Piyot, who had also woken up, flapped his wings energetically, rising to eye level with Sejun and greeting him.
“Yeah. Did you sleep well?”
Piyo!
[Yes!]
Piyot answered Sejun’s question with an energetic voice.
“Meoooow! Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I slept well too, meow!”
Theo stretched and replied just as energetically.
“Good.”
When Sejun patted Theo’s head after he woke up
“Meow!”
Theo rubbed his head enthusiastically against Sejun’s hand.
Piyo!
[Theo-nim, please use this!]
Piyot offered a pouch of money, about the size of his body, to Theo.
It was the pouch of money Piyot had collected as a commission from capturing debtors on Uren’s blacklist.
“Puhuhut. Thank you, Piyot, meow!”
Just as Sejun stroked Piyot’s head like he had with Theo, Theo petted Piyot’s head and opened the pouch.
Then,
“Meow?! Why is there so much money in here, meow?!”
Inside was nearly 10 trillion Tower Coins.
Theo was shocked at the amount of money in the pouch he received.
Piyo!
[I got all the people on Uren-nim’s blacklist!]
Ppyeohem!
Piyot puffed out his chest with pride.
“Meow?! You caught everyone on the blacklist, meow?!”
Piyo! Piyo?!
[Yes! Didn’t I do well?!]
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, here, take this money, meow! Piyot, you did an excellent job, meow! As a special reward, I grant you a three-hour pass to ride on Vice Chairman Theo’s head, meow!”
After handing the pouch of money to Sejun, Theo lifted Piyot onto his head.
Piyo?! Piyo! Piyo!
[Really?! I can ride on Theo-nim’s head! I’m so honored!]
Piyot was deeply moved, perched on Theo’s soft, fluffy head.
Puhuhut. Finally, we’re going to Uren’s place, meow! I heard Uren’s family got a lot of money, meow!
With Piyot on his head, Theo had a mischievous grin on his face.
Even without Uren’s request, Theo had been planning for a while to visit Uren’s house.
While Theo and Piyot were grinning for very different reasons, Sejun headed to the kitchen.
When Sejun arrived, he found a neat array of dishes on the table, prepared by Sejun No. 1 clone: white rice, grilled Spam, fried eggs, stir-fried potatoes, and other side dishes, all ready just in time.
“Cuengi, could you go bring Uren…?”
As Sejun asked Cuengi to bring Uren, since Piyot was happily perched on Theo’s head,
BANG!
A loud crash sounded from outside.
“What?!”
Sejun rushed outside.
“Huh?! Our house…”
Sejun’s house had collapsed.
And,
“Uhehehe. The house collapsed today, huh?”
Amid the rubble, Uren emerged from the debris as if it was nothing unusual.
As expected, Uren, the King of Misfortune, had once again started the day with misfortune.
A short while later,
Using his skill, Sejun rebuilt the house, and the group sat down to eat breakfast.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Putting spam on rice and then a fried egg on top is delicious!]
“Uhehe. It’s also tasty if you put Spam on the spoon, then add rice on top, and then another layer of Spam!”
Cuengi and Uren experimented with various combinations, trying to find the ultimate taste.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Eating roasted and dried sweet potato slices with white rice is so good!]
For the Blackie family, roasted and dried sweet potato slices were always the main dish.
And,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, the grilled fish you made is delicious, meow!”
Piyo!
[I love peanuts so much!]
For Theo and Piyot, grilled fish and peanuts were a must.
As the group continued to enjoy their meal,
[You have consumed 100,000 grains of rice.]
[The Rice-as-Medicine effect has been triggered.]
[Your total stats will randomly increase by 100, randomly distributed among Strength, Stamina, Agility, and Magic.]
104.28.193.250
[Strength increased by 3, Stamina by 49, Agility by 17, and Magic by 31.]
[The potential of all your stats has reached the maximum limit.]
[You can no longer absorb additional stats.]
[The excess stats are returned to nature.]
Sejun also ate his rice deliciously while diligently returning stats to nature.
In the past, seeing messages like these made him feel like he was wasting stats, and his appetite would dip slightly.
But now,
“Hehehe. This tastes amazing.”
Battle aura, absorb these stats and grow quickly.
Now, the taste alone was enough for him.
It was like watching his paycheck disappear from his bank account, only to realize it was secretly accumulating in a savings account.
“Ah, I’m full.”
After finishing his meal, Sejun took out a rice seed.
Plop.
He added the last remaining drop of Enhancing Elixir to it.
Since he ate rice every day, enhancing the rice seeds seemed like the most efficient use.
After enhancing the rice seed, along with the description that the taste would improve, the ‘Rice-as-Medicine’ effect was enhanced to increase total stats from 100 to 150.
“Great.”
Satisfied with the options on his newly enhanced Level 1 Golden Rice Seed, Sejun planted it in the ground.
Plop.
He used 10 drops of Harvest Elixir to quickly multiply the seeds, and then began planting them in earnest in the rice paddies.
Late that evening.
(Pip-pip! Eh?! Sejun-nim, you haven’t gone to sleep?!)
“Yup. I was waiting to spend time with Paespaes.”
Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, was also staying up just to wait, meow!
Kueng!
[Cuengi’s a bit sleepy, but Cuengi will also hold on!]
Paespaes spent a delightful evening playing with the group for the first time in a while.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
···
..
.
Except for the sleepy Blackie family, of course.
(Pip-pip! Oh, right! Sejun-nim, I created a skill, but could you name it for me?)
“Really? Show me the skill first.”
Heheh. When it comes to naming, nobody does it like me, Park Sejun.
(Pip-pip! Yes!) freēwēbnovel.com
At Sejun’s words, Paespaes eagerly demonstrated its skill.
BAM!
While flying at high speed, Paespaes folded its wings, creating a powerful vortex as it spun its body to execute a body slam.
“Hmm. Nice.”
Paespaes spins. It goes round and round.
Watching Paespaes’s skill, a name immediately struck Sejun.
“Paespaes, let’s call that skill PaesSpin from now on.”
(Pip-pip! PaesSpin?! I love it so much!)
For Paespaes, everything Sejun did was perfect.
Thus, Paespaes’s first original skill was officially named PaesSpin.
