Forest of Creation.
[Hehe. Mission completed!]
[Good job, Flamie No. 220.]
[Then I’ll take a rest now.]
After reporting to her main body, the avatar Flamie No. 220’s body crumbled into powder, and her consciousness rejoined the main body.
[Only one left now…]
Flamie spoke in a voice mixed with dislike and fondness.
Flamie, who was undergoing the fourth trial of the Tree of Creation. Only one barren land remained, and she would pass the trial if she turned it into land overflowing with life.
And just a moment ago, Flamie No. 225 had discovered the last remaining barren land, <Aerial>.
Her heart felt complicated.
If she passed the trial, her power would grow stronger, making it harder to meet Sejun. However, if she didn’t grow stronger, she wouldn’t be able to protect Sejun from powerful enemies.
It was a contradictory situation.
But now was a time when she needed more strength to protect Sejun.
Though the world seemed peaceful on the surface, it was stained red far more than it appeared. And very deeply so.
Beings that only observed a few dozen worlds couldn’t know, but Flamie, who had taken root in millions of worlds, could sense it.
A great danger was approaching.
[At that time, I will need the strength to protect Sejun~nim.]
As if making a vow, Flamie began the task of transforming the final barren land, <Aerial>, into a land filled with life.

…
..
.
Having defeated the calamities of <Ticha>, Sejun arrived at the waypoint on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Aileen, I’m back.”
[The Tower’s Administrator asks if you’ve had dinner.]
“No. I’m about to eat now.”
While Sejun chatted with Aileen,
Clank.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Kueng!
Kking!
As the void storage opened, Theo, Cuengi, and the Blackie Family rushed out and clung to Sejun.
However,
Plop.
Sejun only set Blackie down on the ground.
Kking! Kking!
[Let go of me! Great Blackie doesn’t want to walk!]
Blackie struggled, refusing to be put down, but
“Blackie, you’re walking. You need to move if you want to lose weight.”
Sejun was firm.
Kking…
[Great Blackie isn’t fat though…]
Grumbling, Blackie trudged behind him as Sejun headed to the kitchen.
“Sejun No. 12, tonkatsu, please.”
He asked Sejun No. 12 to prepare his meal and grilled fish for Theo.
As for the stir-fried peanuts Iona eats, he had already prepared a large batch and stored it in Iona’s void pocket.
About 1 ton or so?
It seemed he wouldn’t have to stir-fry peanuts for at least six months.
Once dinner was ready,
“Alright. Blackie, since you moved a lot today, two pieces of roasted and dried sweet potato.”
Kihihit.
Sejun prepared Blackie’s meal and started eating dinner.
As they were nearing the end of their meal,
Kueng!
[It’s Mom!]
Cuengi, who had his face buried in his rice bowl eating eagerly, suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.
And then,
Thump. Thump.
Kuooong.
[Sejun~nim, thank you for your hard work.]
Soon, heavy footsteps echoed as Pink-fur appeared.
On her way back from training, she came to take Cuengi home.
Kuehehehe.
Cuengi quickly finished the remaining food and clung to Pink-fur’s chest like a koala.
Kueng!
[Dad, good night!]
“Alright. Sleep well, Cuengi.”
Waving his front paw at Sejun, Cuengi left with Pink-fur.
Once Cuengi and Pink-fur were gone, Sejun and the others finished their dinner and headed to the bedroom.
And then,
Kurrrr.
Gororong.
Kyurorong.
Kkirorong.
…
..
.
Soon, the bedroom was filled with the sound of snoring.
“Our… guys are kind of…”
Of course, they weren’t actually asleep, Sejun and his group were offering their apologies.
Meanwhile, the night grew deeper.
(Pip-pip. Everyone, have a good night.)
Paespaes woke up and began his activities.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
After filling up on fruits prepared by Sejun,
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Paespaes began searching for the rest of the worlds where treasures were hidden.
However, luck wasn’t on his side that night, and he wasn’t able to find the world he wanted. Morning came once again.
***
“Alright.”
Sejun got up energetically.
Though his mind had been working non-stop, his body had rested, so he felt no fatigue.
In truth, it wasn’t just his body, thanks to Sejun’s high mental strength.
His physical body was now so strong that even after not sleeping for ten days, it wouldn’t feel tired. And his mental strength had surpassed 30,000, meaning he could stay awake for days without issue.
Sleep had become more of a habit. He didn’t really need it.
Of course, Sejun wasn’t fully aware of his current state.
But sleep is still the best medicine.
Even knowing it wouldn’t change anything.
Maintaining a sharp mind and body, Sejun got up.
“Meow…”
Kking…
After checking in on the Theo couple and the Blackie Family,
Clank.
He opened the void storage to check on the calamity farms.
“Let’s start with the Locusts.”
Creak.
When Sejun opened the door to the Locust farm,
Flap-flap.
He saw so many Locusts that barely any space was visible.
And then,
“Huh?!”
White?
Sejun was startled.
[White Locust]
All the Locusts had turned white.
The key trait of Locusts is that the more numerous they are, the stronger they evolve.
And with an uninterrupted supply of food, their numbers quickly increased and they evolved into their final form: White Locusts.
Hehehe. That means they’ve become even more delicious in an even tastier state?
To Sejun, this was fantastic news.
Creak.
Next, Sejun checked the Giant Bloodsucking Leech farm.
“Hm?”
There, the leeches had cannibalized each other and evolved into their final forms.
[True Blood Leech]
About the same height as Sejun, and red in color.
Though their size had decreased, he had no doubt they’d be delicious.
Creak.
Then, full of anticipation, Sejun checked the Petrifying Spider farm.
[Blue Petrifying Spider]
Some had evolved, showing blue torsos here and there.
[Petrifying Ray Spider]
“Oh!”
Their torsos were blue and their legs green, the final evolution.
Judging from the name, they could now petrify with eye beams rather than biting.
Creak.
There were no noticeable changes in the Fire Moth farm.
Then, Sejun opened the final door to the Slime farm.
Besides the original brown color, there were dark brown and black-brown slimes, and
[Gold Slime]
Five golden slimes that had reached final evolution caught his eye.
“Hehehe.”
What should I eat for breakfast today?
Sejun fell into a happy dilemma.
After a moment of thought,
“Alright. Let’s go light with chicken for breakfast.”
He decided to eat Locust meat.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, why is chicken light for breakfast, meow?”
104.28.193.250
Theo asked, puzzled by Sejun’s decision.
“Haha. That’s because chickens have wings, so they’re light.”
“Meow? What kind of nonsense is that, meow?”
Should I fix Chairman Park’s head?
Theo looked at Sejun, concerned by his incomprehensible logic.
“To be honest, I just felt like eating chicken.”
“Puhuhut. I understand, meow!”
“Good.”
After clearing that up with Theo,
Slash. Slash.
[You have gained 100 million experience points.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: Owner of the Calamity Farm>, you have gained an additional 100 million experience points.]
…
..
.
Sejun opened the Locust farm and caught 100 Locusts.
Then,
“Sejun No. 12, make dakgaejang with these.”
He asked Sejun No. 12 to cook, and while he was at it, he duplicated the seaweed soup and choco pies that Sejun No. 12 had prepared in advance.
“Oh. And Yonggari Chicken too.”
Sejun didn’t forget about Ace. Ace’s favorability toward Sejun was already at its highest, but he didn’t slack off in scoring points.
Of course, he was also diligently looking after Kaiser, Anton, and Elizabeth.
Then,
“Mother, Father, hello! Have you eaten?”
-Yes. Has our Aileen eaten too?
“Yes.”
That was the same for Aileen. Aileen was scoring points with Sejun’s family every day using the Bronze Mirror of Longing.
“But Mother, is it okay not to talk to Sejun?”
-Yes. Sejun will do fine on his own. I prefer talking with our Aileen.
-Ahem. Me too.
Park Chun-ho, Sejun’s father, who had been quietly listening to Aileen’s question, softly chimed in.
Aileen was more popular with Sejun’s family than Sejun himself.
A little while later,
“Aileen, here.”
Sejun sent the seaweed soup and choco pies to Aileen.
Thump. Thump.
“Pink-fur, here.”
Then, as Pink-fur appeared holding Cuengi in her mouth, Sejun handed her some choco pies and sat down to eat breakfast with the group.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. This dakgaejang is delicious!]
Cuengi, excited from eating dakgaejang made with White Locust meat.
“Whew. So good.”
Sejun also took a sip of the dakgaejang broth and admired it.
However,
It would’ve been perfect with bracken…
A wave of disappointment quickly followed.
Should I ask Theo to get some bracken seeds from Hel~nim?
“No. I’m already asking for a lot, so I can’t burden them more.”
If Hel had known, she would have gotten it right away…
It was a missed opportunity to earn some Welfare Points for Hel.
“Come to think of it, tomorrow is the day the Seed Shop opens.”
For now, let’s look forward to tomorrow.
After finishing the slightly lacking-but-still-tasty dakgaejang,
Slurp.
Sejun washed it down with coffee brewed by Cuengi.
Just then,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, give me money, meow! I need money to open a new floor, meow!”
As he was getting ready to go to work, Theo demanded money.
Thirty days had passed, and 1 trillion Tower Coins were needed to open a new floor.
“Here.”
Since there was more than 10000 quadrillion coins in the void storage, Sejun handed over the 1 trillion Tower Coins to Theo without hesitation.
“Puhuhut. Thanks, meow!”
Theo took the money from Sejun and stored it in his Bag of the Legendary Merchant Wandering the Nine Towers.
“Iona, wait for me, meow!”
“Kyung… okay.”
He gently set Iona, who was clinging from his tail, down and entered the bag to check where it was connected.
Meanwhile,
I should just go to <Kivid>, which is connected to the Red Tower, and then visit home once.
Sejun thought he would handle urgent matters and then visit home.
He wanted to go immediately, but he couldn’t leave <Kivid> to fall into ruin.
It was a sense of responsibility, knowing he couldn’t turn a blind eye to what he could do, and also because he didn’t want to see Ramter heartbroken if <Kivid> was destroyed.
“Aileen, please take care of these treasures.”
Instead, Sejun entrusted 90% of the treasures from his void storage to Aileen so Theo wouldn’t burn through all the wealth.
Because if it were Theo, he could very well blow through even that much money in an instant.
A little while later,
Theo emerged from the bag.
“Where is it connected?”
Sejun asked Theo.
“Puhuhut. It’s the 48th floor of the Blue Tower, meow! Chairman Park, I’ll go earn lots of money, meow! Iona, see you later, meow!”
After telling Sejun the location of the connection, Theo said goodbye to both Sejun and Iona and went off to work.
“Kyung…”
Iona, with a sullen expression, slowly trudged toward the bedroom. She’d probably cuddle with the Theo Ball and sleep until he came back.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi is going to work too!]
“Alright. Harvest a lot of herbs.”
Kueng!
[Understood!]
As Cuengi also headed off to work in the herb field,
“Blackie, let’s get to work.”
Sejun also began farming work with Blackie in tow.
Kking…
Blackie wore an expression full of reluctance.
“Blackie, I’ll give you one piece of roasted and dried sweet potato for every thousand seeds you plant.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie will plant seeds well!]
At the mention of a reward, his energy was instantly restored.
And so, Sejun and Blackie worked on the farm on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, then moved on to the 10th Tower for more farming, and then headed to the Skybean Planet to continue farming again.
Kking…
[Great Blackie gives up now…]
Twenty pieces of roasted and dried sweet potato are enough.
Blackie ended up collapsing just before they arrived at the Skybean Planet.
Thud. Thud.
Upon arriving on the Skybean Planet, Sejun diligently planted Sky-reaching Bean, growing the planet.
He had always been busy, but the calamity farms had made Sejun even busier.
However,
“Hehehe. This feels rewarding.”
To Sejun, who found deep fulfillment in farming, it didn’t feel hard at all.
And then,
Another rewarding event occurred for Sejun.
