TL: Hanguk
At the center of a dense, green forest.
A blue wolf was lying down, sound asleep.
Small birds and weak animals had nestled against the wolf’s body or nearby, seeking its protection.
Just then,
“Fenrir, the Hell Wolves have invaded again! Let’s hurry and stop them!”
A blond, handsome man appeared and called out to Fenrir, causing the small birds and animals to scatter in a panic.
“Grr… How annoying. Tig, just go handle it yourself. You’re the guardian deity of this place, aren’t you?”
Fenrir responded to Tig’s call with an annoyed expression and closed his eyes again.
“Fenrir, don’t be like that, let’s make a bet on who can take down more.”
“Grrr… Fine. Not that it matters, since the noble wolf, Fenrir, will win anyway.”
Tig, the guardian deity of <Helis> and the god of justice, knew exactly what it took to get Fenrir to move.
A short while later,
“Grrr… Tig, I won again this time.”
Fenrir, who was much stronger than Tig, won the bet.
“Hahaha. Yeah, you won, Fenrir. Congratulations.”
Tig cheerfully congratulated Fenrir.
The two got along well, for hundreds of years.
At least, that’s what Fenrir believed.
Squelch.
Until the moment the god of justice, Tig, stabbed Fenrir in the chest, right after Fenrir had slain the last Hell Wolf.
And he did it with the Annihilation Blade, the very sword Fenrir had saved for him…
“Tig, why… why are you…?”
The shock of betrayal left Fenrir speechless. The deeper the trust, the greater the pain.
“Hahaha. Fenrir, because you’re the last Hell Wolf left in this world. Didn’t I tell you? My goal is the total extermination of the Hell Wolves.”
Tig responded with a sinister smile.
“What? Me, a Hell Wolf?! That’s impossible, my fur is…”
The truth was this, Tig had lured Roangr, the god of the Hell Wolves, into a trap and killed him to become the sole god of <Helis>.
After Roangr’s death, Tig discovered that he had been carrying an unborn pup.
So he cut open Roangr’s belly, took out the pup, named him Fenrir, and raised him himself.
Thus, Tig tricked Fenrir, the god of the Hell Wolves, into slaughtering his own kind, while making the Hell Wolves despise their own god.
“When the hunt is over, the hunting dog is disposed of. Fenrir, you’re just a burden to me now. Accept your fate and die by your master’s hand.”
“Master…? Weren’t we friends?”
“Hah! How dare a mere wolf presume to be friends with Tig, the god of justice?!”
Crunch.
In response to Fenrir’s question, Tig drove the Annihilation Blade deeper into his chest.
As Fenrir looked at Tig, reason abandoned him, and his vision turned blood-red.
I’ll kill you before I die!
104.28.193.250
With a desperate resolve for revenge, Fenrir forced his body to rise.
The pain from the wound was nothing compared to the agony of betrayal.
At that moment, everything around him turned black.
And,
Damn it… that dream again…
Blackie, who had just had a nightmare for the first time in ages, regained awareness in a lucid dream.
The day he had been deceived into massacring his own kin and was betrayed by his most trusted friend.
He had no memory after that.
When he regained consciousness, his once-blue fur had turned black, and he had already devoured countless gods.
He had become Fenrir, the First Seat of the Apostles of Destruction, the wolf that hunts gods, feared by all gods.
I hate nightmares… Now I don’t even want to go back to sleep…
As Blackie debated whether to get up or not,
“Hmm-hmm-hmm~”
He heard Sejun’s humming.
Is my butler really happy working all night and then working again?
Well, at least he’s not handsome like Tig and has black hair, so he won’t betray me, right? Hehe. Somehow, I feel relieved…
Blackie smirked, imagining how furious Sejun would be if he knew what he had just thought, and then drifted back to sleep.
This time, fortunately, there was no nightmare.
Instead,
“Blackie!”
In the middle of a vast grassland, Sejun was waving a giant Roasted and Dried Sweet Potato at him.
Kking!
[Butler!]
Excited, Blackie sprinted towards Sejun and leaped for the sweet potato he held.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
It was the happiest dream ever.
***
10th Tower, 1st Floor.
[You have planted the Destruction Pioneer Seed in the body of Delia, the Demon of Corruption and 8th Seat Apostle of Destruction.]
…
..
.
Kihihit.
“Do you like it? Huh? Do you?”
Sejun, who had been eagerly planting the Destruction Pioneer Seed into Delia’s body where Melpheus had disappeared, glared at Blackie, who was grinning in his sleep inside the sling bag. ṙãƝỐ𝖇Ęs̩
When it was because of him that he was working without rest…
“And yet, this guy is just sleeping away!”
Just moments ago, he had been humming cheerfully, but now, for no reason, he lashed out at Blackie while stroking his head.
Then,
“Why are you so damp? Were you too hot? Maintain Cleanliness.”
He washed off the sweat-soaked Blackie, who had been drenched from the nightmare, and resumed planting seeds.
Starting today, he decided not to take the Destruction Devourer Seeds to <Earthworm> but plant them together instead.
This was because the number of Destruction Devourers in <Earthworm> had increased significantly, making it unnecessary to keep bringing seeds from the 10th Tower.
By the time he was finishing up planting the seeds,
Kugugung!
[The 6th Floor of the 10th Tower has been unlocked.]
[The 6th Floor of the 10th Tower has been activated.]
The 6th floor of the tower had opened.
“Oh!”
Upon seeing the message, Sejun immediately moved to the 5th floor and placed his hand on the white crystal.
[As a reward for clearing the 5th Floor, all stats have increased by 300.]
[As a reward for clearing the 5th Floor, you have received 40 billion Tower Coins and 800 billion EXP.]
[Level up!]
…
..
.
[You are moving to the 6th Floor of the 10th Tower.]
With the floor clear rewards, he was transported to the 6th floor.
A vast, empty land stretched before him.
“Hehehe. So, this is all my land?”
At the same time, an intense passion surged within him to fill this massive land with crops.
Plop. Plop.
Excited, he started planting seeds.
Sejun planted seeds relentlessly.
[You have gained 5 million EXP.]
“Ah. I stayed here too long.”
Only after seeing the message did he realize he had spent too much time planting sweet potatoes. He quickly got up.
Because he still had to head to <Earthworm> to plant more seeds.
Growl.
On top of that, he had apparently skipped lunch.
“I should go back to the Tower, have lunch, and then move on to Earthworm.”
Just as Sejun arrived at the Black Tower,
[Due to the effect of <Title: Slave King>, all stats have increased by 1.]
…
..
.
A message popped up before Sejun.
The number of employees in Sejun Company was increasing rapidly.
***
87th Floor of the Red Tower.
“What?! Vice Chairman Theo has arrived at the 27th floor of the Tower?!”
“Yes. He’s personally conducting an auction there.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing his subordinate’s report, Bayon fell into deep thought.
Hehehe. This is a golden opportunity!
Soon, he realized this was a chance granted to him by the heavens.
A chance to boost his performance and become a Manager.
No, this wasn’t just a chance. This was a divine opportunity granted by Sejun-nim! Hehehe.
As Bayon felt deep gratitude toward Sejun,
Balrog asked for a method.
Bayon shared his plan.
The rumor?
‘There’s a sucker cat named Park Sejun with tons of money on Tower Floor 27.’
With just that, full-time employees would start flocking in on their own.
The moment someone shouts ‘Park Sejun, hand over your money!’ in front of Theo, they were 100% guaranteed to become a full-time employee.
Battle Maniac Balrog was thrilled.
Just then,
Yoppi, who had previously received dating advice from Sejun only to be brutally rejected, posted a message in the network.
Balrog encouraged Yoppi.
The reason it was 10 confessions and 35 rejections was that 25 times, he had been rejected before even getting the chance to confess.
Yoppi, assuming that Balrog was also single, responded with appreciation.
However,
Balrog was a popular monster who received confessions without even trying.
Yoppi was heartbroken by Balrog’s words.
[Red Tower’s 22F Boss, Flame Squirrel Yoppi: Really?! Got it! I’ll go right away!]
Rejuvenated by Bayon’s words, Yoppi immediately headed toward Theo.
***
Red Tower, 27th Floor.
“Puhuhut. Another sold-out day! I hope Chairman Park will be pleased, meow!”
Theo was preparing to finish work after another successful sell-out.
At that moment, a group of Red Skunks with red fur surrounded him.
“Are you the guy named Park Sejun?!”
“Puhuhut. Thank you for mistaking me for the Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow! But I’m not Chairman Park, I’m Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”
Theo quickly corrected the Red Skunks’ misunderstanding.
However,
“Don’t be ridiculous! You think we’ll fall for that?! Park Sejun, if you don’t want to die, hand over the money!”
Thinking that Theo was lying to escape danger, the Red Skunks pointed their swords at his neck.
And then,
“Hah?! Did you just say you’d kill my Chairman Park, meow?!”
Theo was far more enraged by the threat to Sejun’s life than by the sword at his own throat.
Pow! Thud!
He swiftly knocked the Red Skunks unconscious.
“Since you threatened Chairman Park’s life, you’re obviously a full-time employee, meow!”
He stamped their foreheads and confiscated their belongings.
Just then,
“Are you Park Sejun?!”
New villains appeared, and
Pow! Thud!
Theo knocked them out, stamped them, and looted them as well.
“You’re Park-”
Before they could finish their words, more villains kept appearing.
At that moment,
“Oh?! Vice Chairman Theo, hello! Let me help you!”
Yoppi, who had just arrived from the 22nd floor, rushed over.
“Puhuhut. Excellent, meow! Yoppi, you take care of collecting the loot, meow!”
“Yes!”
With Yoppi’s assistance, Theo continued to increase the number of Red Tower full-time employees.
[Red Monkey Monggu from the Red Tower’s 43rd Floor has joined Sejun Company.]
…
..
.
As more and more employees entered the Red Tower’s full-time employee network,
[Sejun Company’s influence in the Red Tower has significantly increased.]
[The full-time employee network of Sejun Company has been expanded.]
[From now on, direct communication between full-time employees of the Black Tower and the Red Tower will be possible.]
The full-time employee network had been upgraded.
Today too, Sejun Company’s system grew one step further.
