The Chairman’s Office of the Wandering Merchants Association.
Sejun, who came to the Wandering Merchants Association headquarters to collect the bounty for the pickpocket Chwichwiyi, decided to drop by Mason’s office.
“Here are the land deeds I’ve gathered so far.”
“Thank you.”
Mason handed over three land deeds to Sejun.
[Black Tower 72nd Floor Land Deed]
[Black Tower 89th Floor Land Deed]
[White Tower 55th Floor Land Deed]
“Sejun-nim, since you’re here, why not have a cup of tea before leaving?”
Mason offered tea to Sejun as he was checking the land deeds.
However,
“No, thank you. If I’m away for too long, Cuengi and Blackie get anxious.”
Sejun declined, worrying about the two he had left behind at the street stall, and quickly got up to leave.
As Sejun made his way back to the street stalls…
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad’s triple price haggling always works!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Big bro! This is delicious! Let’s eat more!]
Contrary to Sejun’s worries, Cuengi and Blackie were happily buying and eating street snacks.
Moreover, the two worked well together
Kueng!
[I’ll haggle!]
When Cuengi tried to haggle,
Kking! Kking!
[Cut the price! Give us a discount!]
Blackie would bark noisily from the side or…
Kking! Kking!
[We won’t move until you cut the price! If you want to keep running your business, you’d better listen to my big bro!]
He would lie down on the ground and throw a tantrum.
There was no bigger nuisance than these two.
As Cuengi and Blackie’s notoriety was slowly building among the street vendors
“Guys, let’s go!”
Fortunately, before their reputation could fully take root, Sejun called them back.
Kueng!
[Dad’s here!]
Kking!
[Butler!]
Hearing Sejun’s call, Cuengi and Blackie rushed over to him.
“Let’s eat out today before going home.”
When Sejun suggested eating out because he didn’t feel like cooking dinner
Kueng!
Kking!
While Cuengi and Blackie immediately liked the idea of trying something new,
But…
“No way, meow! I want the grilled fish made by the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
The home-cooked food enthusiast Theo voiced his opposition.
However,
“Theo, you can eat the churu I made for you. That should do, right?”
“Puhuhut. Fine, meow! The churu made by Chairman Park is also delicious, meow!”
Since there was an alternative in the form of churu, Theo was easily convinced and
“Alright, let’s go.”
Sejun and his companions went out for dinner, even enjoying dessert afterward, and returned late at night to the 99th floor of the tower.
“Looks like the Blue Moon will rise soon.”
Sejun began preparations for the Blue Moon.
He took out Moonfruit Seeds and Blueberries, spreading them out carefully to better absorb the Blue Moon’s energy
Slurp.
“Puhuhut.”
Kuehehehe.
Sipping the coffee brewed by Barista Cu, Sejun waited for the Blue Moon to rise, stroking Theo and Cuengi, who were nestled on his lap and by his side.
Kirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kkirurung.
···
..
.
The Blackie family, exhausted from their day of fun outside, had already fallen asleep and entered dreamland.
Moments later…
As a blue light illuminated the surroundings, a single blue moon suddenly appeared in the sky.
Kkwek!
The Mushroom Ants quickly scattered to harvest crops imbued with the energy of the Blue Moon.
And
But who do the Mushroom Ants serve? The God of Mushrooms or the God of Ants?
“Land Moving.”
As Sejun had these useless thoughts
[Achievement Monument for the God of Green Onions]
Sejun began erecting Achievement Monuments to honor the gods of beings and things that had helped him.
[Achievement Monument for the God of Mushrooms]
[Achievement Monument for the God of Ants]
[Achievement Monument for the God of Cherry Tomatoes]
···
..
.
In large quantities.
He was both expressing gratitude and killing time while waiting.
104.28.193.250
As Sejun erected monument after monument, he thought to himself:
Surely, dragons must have a god too, right?
[Achievement Monument for the God of Dragons]
He even set up a monument for the Dragon God, Mirna.
Although Mirna was the one who had provided the Dragon Fruit, the fruit’s description had no information about her, so Sejun still didn’t know of Mirna’s existence.
By the time Sejun had erected about 30 monuments,
Kkwek!
A Mushroom Ant, assigned to monitor the Moonfruit Seeds, called out to Sejun.
The Moonfruit Seed, having fully absorbed the Blue Moon’s moonlight, was trembling while emitting a soft blue light. As if calling out to Sejun.
Tak.
Sejun hurried over and picked up the seed.
[Moonfruit Seed Fully Soaked in Blue Moonlight]
→ ???
→ You must harvest to check the options..
→ The Moonfruit has awakened to the power of moonlight by fully absorbing the energy of the Blue Moon.
→ The seed’s desire to grow is immense. Please plant it quickly before its enthusiasm wanes!
The seed’s description had changed.
“I got it. Hold on, I’ll plant you right away.”
Clank.
Sejun quickly opened the Void Storage and,
Thud.
[‘You’re a Field’ Lv. 9 has been activated.]
[You have planted the Moonfruit Seed Fully Soaked in Blue Moonlight in the body of Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider and 9th seat of the Apostles of Destruction.]
…
..
.
He planted the Moonfruit in Alice’s body which was overflowing with vitality.
Crack.
Fueled by its overwhelming growth drive, the Moonfruit rapidly absorbed Alice’s life energy, growing quickly.
Before long, a single gourd the size of a watermelon had grown, perfectly round and golden.
Is this it?
It was too small to be considered a moon.
Even though Sejun knew there was more inside the gourd, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Moonfruit, I’m sorry for being disappointed.
Sejun quickly apologized in his heart to the Moonfruit.
He felt he had no right to be disappointed in the fruit of the Moonfruit’s hard work.
Only the Moonfruit itself, the one who had created the fruit, had the right to judge it.
“Wow. It’s like a real moon. Such a beautiful moon.”
After apologizing, Sejun sincerely praised the Moonfruit.
Then, as the Moonfruit’s fruit reached its climax and radiated a brilliant golden light that illuminated the surroundings,
Pop.
Sejun harvested the fruit containing the moon.
[You have harvested the Moonfruit.]
[Your job experience has increased slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 9 has increased slightly.]
[You have gained 100 experience points.]
Along with the harvest message,
Crack.
The gourd opened on its own, and a golden aura ascended to the sky.
The golden energy expanded as it ascended and quietly took its place at the edge of the night sky, finally completing the Black Tower’s Night Sky.
[You have achieved the great feat of placing a moon in the night sky of the Black Tower.]
[As a reward for this great feat, you have acquired the <Title: One Who Raised the Moon>.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: One Who Raised the Moon>, magic power increases by 20% while moonlight is present.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: One Who Raised the Moon>, divinity increases by 1 for each god you command.]
[As a reward for this great feat, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower is reduced by 0.1%.]
More messages followed.
Then
[You have 2 similar titles to <Title: One Who Raised the Moon>.]
···
..
.
As <Title: One Who Glimpsed the Beginning> has been activated, it had combined <Title: One Who Restored the Night> and <Title: One Who Illuminated the Stars> have been combined with <The One Who Raised the Moon> to form a single title.
<Title: One Who Completed the Night Sky>
– All stats increase by 25% during the night (maximum stat increase: 1,000,000).
– Divinity increases by 1 for every star you light in the night sky
– You receive the blessing of the Blue Moon whenever it rises.
“Oh. This is good?”
Hehehe. The name is cool too.
Sejun smiled with satisfaction after checking the title.
And
[An Ambiguous Dragon has built a temple for you.]
[Your Divine Power has increased by 300.]
“Ehehe.”
Meanwhile, a god in the Seed Shop Headquarters was also smiling with deep satisfaction.
“I can’t believe there’s a dragon following me!”
Although she found the ‘ambiguous’ prefix slightly annoying, a dragon was still a dragon.
“It’s fine! This noona will take good care of you!”
The Dragon God Mirna grinned widely and began crafting a Divine Relic as a gift for Sejun, the ambiguous dragon that followed her.
***
Black Tower, 99th Floor.
It was the morning of the 489th day, a week after the Blue Moon, and the day of the Third Meeting of Dragons.
Sejun was incredibly busy from the crack of dawn, preparing the final dish for the gathering.
“Alright! Cuengi, move the chocolate over here!”
Kueng!
At Sejun’s instruction, Cuengi carefully lifted a massive chocolate replica of the Black Tower and placed it in the center of a giant cream cake.
The cream cake was 10 meters in diameter and 5 meters tall.
On top of it sat the chocolate Black Tower, surrounded by dozens of chocolate figures of Great Black Dragons. These dragons were secured in place with Ggomi’s invisible spider threads, creating the illusion of them flying around the tower, fiercely protecting it.
The dynamic and valiant appearance of the Black Dragons made them look truly imposing.
Kaiser came to check in the morning and after seeing the Great Black Dragon chocolates Sejun made, asked him to make as many as there were Great Black Dragons, but
“How am I supposed to make that many right now? You should’ve told me earlier!”
Sejun flatly rejected the idea.
“Alright, let’s add the fruit now. Vice Chairman Theo, have you finished cutting the fruit?”
“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! The great hybrid Chairman Park’s orders have all been carried out, meow!”
“Good. You’ve worked hard. Cuengi, lift it up.”
Kueng!
When Cuengi used telekinesis to lift the fruit,
Kking?
Blackie, who was holding a piece of fruit in his mouth, ended up dangling along with it.
“Blackie! What are you doing up there?!”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Escape time!]
At Sejun’s yell, Blackie quickly fled the scene.
“Sigh… that little rascal…”
While Sejun was busy adding the finishing touches to the cream cake,
“Kellion-nim, welcome!”
“Welcome to the territory of the Black Dragons.”
Dragons began to gather one by one at the Black Dragons’ domain, and Anton and the other Black Dragons were busy welcoming their guests.
And
“Welcome!”
“Here, try this! Sejun made these snacks – they’re delicious!”
Aileen also opened a portal and, as a member of the Great Black Dragon clan, eagerly welcomed other dragon clan guests from the Black Tower administrator area.
At that moment,
“Khahaha! Great dragons! Welcome to our Black Tower! Now, let us begin the Third Meeting of Dragons!”
Kaiser loudly declared the start of the meeting to the assembled dragons.
And so,
“The green onions sold in the Black Tower are exceptional. I believe we should use them in other towers as well!”
“That’s right. Ever since we distributed green onions and grapes, the speed of world destruction has noticeably slowed!”
Throughout the meeting, the central topic was Sejun’s crops.
Park Sejun’s crops are incredibly effective.
We must use Park Sejun’s crops in other towers as well.
When we used Park Sejun’s crops in this way, the results were even better.
The majority of the discussions revolved around these points.
‘That’s right. That’s right. Our Sejun’s crops are the best.’
Nod. Nod.
Kaiser crossed his arms with a pleased smile, nodding earnestly as he listened to the other dragons praise.
A while later,
“Then we’ll end this meeting here.”
At Kaiser’s announcement of the meeting’s end, suddenly all the dragons’ eyes sparkled.
They were all eagerly awaiting the feast that would follow.
“Khahaha! Everyone must be hungry, so let us eat!”
With Kaiser’s words, the food appeared in the center of the gathering.
Nine types of liquor brewed to match the nine dragon clans’ attributes.
Spicy braised chicken cooked with calamity, seaweed soup, spicy octopus stew, steamed king crab and lobster, pork ribs, and more.
The variety of dishes was immense, but,
“Wow!”
“What is that?!”
“It’s so beautiful!”
The centerpiece of the feast was the cream cake in the middle.
The dragons marveled at the beautiful cake, adorned with chocolate decorations and fruit.
Their eyes naturally traveled from the outer edges of the cake inward, then upward.
The dragons’ gazes naturally moved from the outside of the cake to the inside, from bottom to top, and
They continued to marvel at the vibrant Great Black Dragons and majestic Black Tower sitting atop the snow-white cream.
And the dragons’ gazes stopped on the beautiful and elegant Black Dragon standing proudly at the peak of the Black Tower.
……
The long silence without a single exclamation revealed how moved the dragons were.
That’s…
Of course, the most moved was Aileen.
After all, it was a chocolate sculpture shaped like Aileen that Sejun had prepared without her knowing.
Feeling that a mere chocolate sculpture wasn’t enough to express his feelings,
[To Aileen, the Most Beautiful Dragon in the World – From Sejun♥]
He didn’t forget to add a heartfelt message beside it.
***
Black Tower, 99th Floor.
“Great hybrid Chairman Park, no matter how much I think about it, the heart was a bit much, meow!”
“Was it? Ugh… I should’ve left the heart out, after all?”
Hearing Theo’s honest advice, Sejun twisted in embarrassment and belated regret at how cringy it was.
