nBlack Tower Administrator Area.
n“How dare they betray my Sejun?!”
nAileen trembled with rage as she read the report sent by Ice Cube and Piercing.
n-Such ungrateful bastards!!! My dear granddaughter, you mustn’t let such people go unpunished! This old man will go and teach them a lesson…
nKaiser, who had been waiting for a chance to calm Aileen’s anger, also became enraged beside her.
n“No. Grandpa, stay put. I’ll handle it.”
n-You will?
nAileen responded to me! Thank you, Sejun.
nKaiser, now finally having a conversation with Aileen, quietly smiled and watched how she would deal with the stars.
nA little later.
nWhen morning came, and the disappearance of stars wouldn’t be noticeable, Aileen summoned all twelve Zodiac stars.
nThus, twelve star-shaped stones were summoned into the Administrator Area.
n“I am Aileen Pritani, the Administrator of the Black Tower and a Great Black Dragon. I’ve heard that among you, some have betrayed my Sejun and are now following some so-called god of starlight, Milki or Milk or whatever. Is that true?”
nAileen asked, glaring fiercely at the stars in front of her.
n-Yes, that’s true. We don’t know how you found out, Aileen-nim, but even if you are the great black dragon, you can’t change our decision!
n-That’s right!
n-We will follow Milky-nim, the god of starlight.
nFive stars stepped forward, asserting their stance, their bodies twinkling and sparkling as they spoke.
n“Is that so? Polymorph, release.”
n104.28.193.250
nIn response to the five stars’ declaration, Aileen’s expression turned cold as she reverted to her true form.
nAnd then…
nBoom!
n“How dare you speak so boldly after betraying my Sejun?! Do you think I won’t get angry?!”
nShe began her punishment, stomping firmly on the five stars.
n-Gyaaah!
n-Ugh!
n-Why are you doing this?!
nThe stars, pinned under Aileen’s foot, groaned in pain but held their ground.
nPress.
n-We were wrong!
n-Please spare us!
n-We were wrong!
nUnable to bear the increasing pressure, they began to beg for forgiveness. However, they didn’t humble themselves enough to declare their allegiance to Sejun.
n-She’s gotten stronger.
n-Indeed. Still, it was harder when we were Holy Stones.
n-I agree. I thought I’d be shattered back then…
nIce Cube and Piercing reminisced about their own past as they watched Aileen mercilessly stomp on the five stars.
nAt that moment…
n-Do you know why Aileen-nim is doing this?
n-Tell us. Why is Aileen-nim so angry?
n-It’s satisfying to see, but I’m curious about the reason.
nFive stars that had been loyal to Sejun from the start asked Ice Cube and Piercing.
nAlthough it felt gratifying to see Aileen disciplining the stars who had betrayed Sejun, they couldn’t understand why the Great Black Dragon herself would step in just because of a little betrayal of a mere tower farmer.
n-Fine. We’ll tell you, just for you. The truth is, Sejun-nim and Aileen-nim are lovers.
n-From what I see, Aileen-nim likes him more.
nThe two stars proudly explained to the others why the five traitorous stars were being trampled by Aileen.
n-You’re lucky. Normally, she starts by stomping on everyone.
n-That’s right. Ice Cube got stomped on twice.
n-One of those times was because you tattled, Piercing!
n-Well, who told you to betray Sejun-nim in the first place?!
n-That… I regret it.
nWhile Sejun’s loyal stars listened to Ice Cube and Piercing’s story…
n“Blind! Did you call my Sejun a ‘mere human’?! You’re just a mere star! How dare you?!”
nAileen was still holding down four of the stars with her left foot, while using her right foot to press down hard on Blind, who had insulted Sejun, demanding an explanation.
nAnd then…
n-Gyagyaak! I’m sorry!
n“If you’re sorry, then swear your allegiance to Sejun!”
n-What?! No matter what, how can we submit to such a weak being as Sejun-nim…
n“Then die!”
nPress!
nAs soon as Blind gave his reply, Aileen pressed her weight down even harder on her right foot.
nCrack.
n-Aaaagh! My body is cracking! The star’s dying!
nBlind screamed in agony.
n– Aileen, I will submit to Sejun-nim!
n“Then swear properly!”
n– I, the star Blind, swear to obey Sejun-nim for the rest of my life!
nFinally, he swore allegiance to Sejun, and
n“Now, next is Power-Up. You said you couldn’t trust my Sejun, didn’t you?”
n-That’s correct…
n“What?!”
nPress.
n-Sob sob… I was arrogant! I, the star Power-Up, swear to obey Sejun-nim for the rest of my life…
nThe other stars, too, eventually surrendered as Aileen stomped on them.
nAs expected, my granddaughter.
nKaiser looked proudly at his granddaughter Aileen, who had made the stars swear allegiance.

n99th Floor of the Black Tower.
n“Ah, I’m so full.”
nKueng!
nDad, here’s your coffee!
n“Ah, thanks.”
nSllluuurp.
nSejun sipped the coffee that Cuengi had brought him.
n“Mmm, delicious.”
nMorning coffee really is the best.
nSejun enjoyed a brief moment of relaxation, sipping his coffee.
n“Well then, let’s head to the Silver Tower.”
n“Let’s go, meow!”
nKueng!
nLet’s go!
nKihihit. Kking!
nHehe. The Great Blackie is on his way!
nAs Sejun stood up, the rest of the party also rose and entered the Void Storage.
n“What are you doing, meow?! Kwin, you’re a full-time employee now, so hurry and get in, meow!”
nTheo, who had already claimed the front spot by lying in the loaf position at the entrance of the Void Storage, called out to Kwin, who was standing awkwardly.
n“Yes.”
nKwin responded and entered the Void Storage.
nHe said he was a butler, but…
nKwin glanced back at Sejun through the closing gap of the door.
nClearly, he seemed the weakest among the group, suited only for serving others, but strangely, Sejun was the leader of this group.
nAnd the Great Blackie, who had blown away the storm in his mind with just a snort, was…
nKihihit.
nKueng!
nBlackie, don’t secretly eat the roasted sweet potato slices!
nKking…
nBeing treated as the weakest in this group.
nWhat’s going on?
nKwin was utterly confused.
nClunk.
nThe door of the Void Storage closed.
n“Alright, shall we go?”
nRustle.
nSejun unfolded the Land Deed for the 82nd floor of the Silver Tower.
nThe summoning function for the initial engraving of the land deed for the Silver Tower’s 82nd floor has been activated.
nWith the message, Sejun vanished.
n***
nYou have arrived on the 82nd floor of the Silver Tower.
n“Camouflage.”
nUpon arriving at the Silver Tower, Sejun quickly used his skill to hide himself.
nAnd then…
n‘Hehehe. There are really a lot of them.’
nLying flat on the ground, Sejun chuckled as he observed the residents of the Silver Tower resting.
nSejun was aiming for four birds with one stone on this visit to the Silver Tower.
nQuest completion, raising stats with
nAt that moment…
nClunk.
n“Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
nSlap!
nTheo, who could find Sejun regardless of his disguise, clung to Sejun’s face, and
nKueng!
nKking!
nCuengi and Blackie also rushed towards Sejun.
n“Ahem.”
nKwin, looking somewhat awkward also stepped out of the Void Storage.
nThen…
n“It’s Kwin-nim!”
n“Kwin-nim has returned!”
n“Kwin-nim, are you alright?!”
nThe residents of the Silver Tower, upon spotting Kwin, flocked to him.
nThey had been waiting anxiously for Kwin, who had suddenly been taken away by a dragon.
n“I’m fine.”
n“Kwin-nim’s eyes…?”
n“Yes, my madness has been cured.”
n“Oh! Congratulations!”
n“Don’t push, please.”
nWhile Kwin received the congratulations of the residents, Sejun, on the contrary, was pushed to the outskirts of the crowd as he tried to avoid the influx of people.
nDuring this time…
nWhoosh.
nA blue mist emerged from the open Void Storage.
nPark Sejun, the Black Tower Farmer, has accomplished the Great Creation feat by spreading the energy of creation within the Silver Tower.
nThe balance of the Silver Tower has been partially restored.
nAs a reward for the Great Creation feat, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will be reduced by 1%.
n“Ah, right. There was this too.”
nSejun’s reason for coming to the Silver Tower had now become a five birds with one stone situation.
n“This looks like a good spot to plant.”
nSejun found a flat piece of land and dug into it.
nPlop.
nHe planted the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree.
nHowever…
nYou have planted the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree using Magic Seed Sowing.
nThe land is too barren.
nPlease plant it in a location with richer soil fertility.
nA message appeared, stating that the seed couldn’t grow due to the poor fertility of the soil.
nHeheh. No problem.
n“Abundance!”
nI’m not the same person I used to be.
nSejun, with a smug expression, placed his right hand on the ground and used his Power while sipping on a Mugwort Juice of Life potion with his left hand.
n“Abundance!”
nThe
nThe soil in the farm becomes twice as fertile.
nAs he continued to boost the fertility of the land using his power, Sejun’s life force consumption increased, and the state of the land gradually improved.
nThe once dry and crumbly soil began to gain moisture and gleam with vitality.
n“Abundance!”
nAfter using his power ten times on the soil…
nYou lack enough life force to continue using your power.
nOne Life Orb has been consumed.
nThe amount of life force drained all at once had increased significantly, consuming one of his Life Orbs.
nThis is the last one.
nEven the Life Orbs couldn’t keep up with the consumption beyond this point.
nAs Sejun drank another mugwort juice and replenished his Life Orbs back to three…
nCrunch.
nFinally, the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree began to sprout.
nPop.
n…i… freewёbnoνel.com
nPeek.
nA small sprout energetically pushed its head out of the soil, extending its roots down.
nBoing!
n…Y…
nSoon, the sprout spread its leaves left and right, as if raising its arms in a cheer.
n“Oh!”
nIt’s out!
nSejun looked at the sprout with a joyful expression.
nBut then…
n“Huh?”
nThe World Tree remained in its sprout form even after several minutes had passed.
n“What’s going on?”
nCould it be that the soil’s fertility is still lacking?
n“Abundance!”
nSejun used his power once again.
nThe
nThe soil in the farm becomes twice as fertile.
nThe World Tree had indeed absorbed much of the land’s fertility, causing the fertility to drop. With the fertility now improved, Sejun’s life force consumption decreased significantly.
n“Good, Abundance!”
nWhile Sejun continued to increase the fertility of the land by repeatedly using his power…
nWhooosh.
nSuddenly, the wind began to blow fiercely.
nThe strong winds, which had been suppressed by Kwin after drinking the Golden Grape Wine of Explosive Magic Power as a reward from the grape wine drinking competition, had started up again.
nMoreover, due to the backlash from the previously suppressed winds, the gusts were even stronger this time.
nRumble.
nFrom a distance, dozens of massive tornadoes rapidly approached Sejun and the residents of the Silver Tower, surrounding them.
n“All of you, quickly evacuate the residents!”
n“Yes!”
nThe wind magicians, following Kwin’s orders, began evacuating the residents into underground shelters.
nStep. Step.
nKwin walked towards Sejun.
nKwin had heard that the reason Sejun came here was to grow a World Tree that could stop the winds. Determined to help Sejun at all costs, Kwin approached him.
nEven if it costs me my life…
nStanding next to Sejun, Kwin was ready to lay down his life if necessary.
n“Ha…”
nAs Kwin prepared to slow down the approaching tornadoes with a determined shout…
n“Meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will punish those who interfere with the great Hybrid Chairman Park’s work, meow!”
nTheo rushed toward the tornadoes.
n“What?! You’ll get yourself killed-”
nKwin quickly swallowed his words as he was about to stop Theo.
nAs Theo approached the tornadoes…
n“Meow! Meow! Meow, meow! Meow-meow Storm Fist, meow!”
nUsing his Meow-step technique, Theo quickly ran in the opposite direction of the tornadoes, reducing their strength and causing them to gradually dissipate one by one.
nIs that even possible?
nKwin was astonished, watching Theo’s unbelievable actions.
nA short while later.
n“Puhuhut, Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve earned the title ‘One Who Subdues the Wind’, meow! With this title, I can easily subdue the wind, meow! Chairman Park should get one too, meow!”
n“Hmm. I can’t do that.”
n“No, that’s not true, meow! It’s easy to get, meow! I’ll help you, meow!”
n“No, I really can’t.”
n“Don’t give up, meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will…”
n“I said I can’t!”
nAs Theo, who had dispersed the tornadoes, tried to convince Sejun to obtain the same title as him…
nWhoosh.
nThe wind began blowing again. Since the tornadoes didn’t work, this time, the wind blew fiercely in a straight line.
nAs the wind started to blow, sand was carried with it, shooting like bullets.
nKuhehehe. Kueng!
nHehehe. This time, Cuengi will handle it!
nCuengi ran toward the direction of the wind.
nKuueeeeeng!
nYou can’t come!
nCuengi used his Kueng-fooo ability against the wind.
n…
nThe wind, hit by Kueng-fooo, quickly stopped.
nNo.
nWhoooosh.
nInstead, the wind reversed direction, wiping away even the distant gusts.
nKuhehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
nHehehe. Dad, Cuengi got the power ‘Reverse Wind’! With the power of Reverse Wind…
nWhile Cuengi was proudly showing off the new power he had gained to Sejun…
nDocking!
nIn the deepest part of the underground, where Flamie had been waiting to keep Sejun safe, the roots of Flamie and the World Tree met.
nThe World Tree had been growing only its roots to meet with Flamie.
nAnd then…
nHere, eat this quickly!
nThank you for the meal! It’s delicious!
nUnlike Podori, who was also a grapevine, the World Tree happily gobbled up the nutrient supplement Flamie provided.
nNow I feel stronger! Here I go!
nCrack.
nAfter eating the nutrient supplement from Flamie, the World Tree began to grow rapidly.
