Chapter 6: Awakening

nTL: Hanguk

nLooking at the newly transplanted cherry tomatoes, Sejun also looked at the other cherry tomato trees with a curious mind, wondering if they were any different..

n“Hehehe, there they are.”

nThe space is now occupied by five cherry tomato. Sejun felt pleased, thinking about the many more cherry tomato that would grow in the future.

nHe laughed with delight, imagining cherry tomatoes filling the entire field. His mood was too good for such a small thing.

nIn the afternoon, the inside of the cave became busy.

nPeep!

nPeep!

nThe rabbit couple began to block the entrance to their burrow. Sejun realized that the Blue Moon was about to start by watching the rabbits’ behavior.

nSejun hurriedly moved too. To prepare for the monsters that would come, he put out the fire, buried or moved anything that had a smell, and tried his best to erase the scent.

nAnd a few hours later.

nThe sunlight turned blue, and Sejun faced his third Blue Moon.

nRoar!

nScreech!

nThe roars of the monsters could be heard.

n‘No matter how many times I hear it, I can’t get used to it.’

nEvery time he heard the roars, his heart throbbed, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

nHe thought this Blue Moon would pass without any problem.

nHowever,

nThud. Thud.

nOne monster started to roam above the cave where Sejun was.

nAnd

nSniff! Sniff!

nThe red-furred monster began to seriously sniff the scent towards the hole in the ground.

n‘Oh no! Did it notice something?’

nSejun unknowingly held his breath and just hoped the monster would go away.

nBut

nSniff! Sniff!

nThe monster continued to sniff. How long had it been sniffing?

nScreech!

nWhen a monster’s roar was heard from afar,

nRoar!

nThud! Thud!

nThe red-furred monster roared and ran towards the sound.

n*****

nSlap! Slap!

nSejun woke up from the husband rabbit’s slaps.

nPeep!

nThe husband rabbit looked at Sejun with a worried expression.

n“Uhm… when did I fall asleep?”

nDid he faint?

nHe had heard that there were cases of fainting when hearing the roar of a strong monster.

nTremble.

n“Ugh…why is it so cold?”

nHis body had been tense when he fainted. Moreover, the temperature was much lower at the end of the cave. Having slept in such a place, his body couldn’t be in good shape. It seemed like he caught a cold.

nSwoosh.

nSejun struggled to approach the wall where he recorded the date and drew a line.

nAnd

n‘I need a fire.’

nSejun, shivering, went to the fireplace. He needed to light the fire again.

nTremble.

nWith trembling hands, Sejun held a water bottle, directed sunlight towards the dry leaves, and created a spark.

n30 minutes later.

n“Whew. Whew.”

nCrackle.

nSejun barely managed to create a spark, lit the fire, and crouched down at the fireplace to roast a green onion.

nAnd

nGobble Gobble.

nHe ate the roasted green onion eagerly.

n‘All I can do right now is eat well.’

nSejun went to the pond and caught 5 fish to cook after eating the green onion and regaining some energy.

nAs Sejun was fighting off his cold by eating,

nPeep!

nThe husband rabbit called Sejun.

n“What…?”

nPeep!

nWhere the husband rabbit was pointing, the cherry tomatoes that were smaller than beans just yesterday had grown to the size of golf balls.

n“But why is the color like this?”

nThe cherry tomato was bluish.

n“Is it ripe?”

nIt couldn’t have ripened overnight, but since it was so big, Sejun touched the cherry tomato.

nTap.

n“Huh?!”

nThe cherry tomato fell off easily as if it was completely ripe.

n“Wow.”

nWhile Sejun was marveling at the huge blue cherry tomato,

nYou have achieved the feat of harvesting fruit containing the energy of the Blue Moon.

nTransparent blue letters appeared on a window in front of him.

n“Huh? What’s this?!”

nIt’s a message window.

nThe Tower’s manager watches your amazing feat.

nThe Tower’s manager examines you closely.

nThe Tower’s manager frowns.

n‘Why is he frowning all of a sudden?’

nThe Tower’s manager realizes you are an uninvited guest.

nThe Tower’s manager wants to hide his mistake.

n“What?! A mistake?”

nA mistake? So my coming here was a mistake?

n“Then send me back!”

nThe Tower’s manager considers killing you to destroy the evidence.

n“Excuse me… I don’t have to leave…”

nYou said I achieved some feats, right? Please spare me.

nThe Tower’s manager awakens you.

nYou have awakened.

n“Oh!”

nFinally, I have awakened. I decided to forgive him for wanting to kill me. Until now, survival had been the priority, but the reason Sejun came to the tower was to awaken.

n“Now I don’t have to buy 150 million ticket to awaken Hehehe.”

nNow, just climb the tower….

nThe Tower’s manager assigns you a job.

nYou have become a Tower Farmer(F).

n“Huh? Farmer?”

nJob trait: You won’t get minor illnesses.

nJob trait: You’ll be friendly with nature.

nJob trait: You’ll gain experience when harvesting crops.

n“…Status window.”

nIt can’t be. There must be something wrong. Sejun wanted to believe desperately. Sejun called the status window with all his heart.

nBut

nPark Sejun Lv. 1

nTalent: Mediocre All-Rounder

nStats: Strength(1) Stamina(1) Agility(1) Magic(1)

nJob: Tower Farmer(F)

nSkills: None.

n“This is…my status window…”

nTalent determines base stats and stat increases when leveling up. However, Sejun’s talent is Mediocre All-Rounder, which means just average.

nThere wasn’t a single glimpse of hope in the status window.

nIndeed, lotteries are better when you don’t scratch them. That way, you can at least daydream..

n“Sigh… I’m a mediocre all-rounder… and my job is a farmer…”

nWhat’s your job?

nTower Farmer.

nIt was embarrassing to even think about answering someone with his job.

n“Should I just go back to farming?”

nIt seemed difficult to make big money in the tower even if he managed to survive here.

n‘Goodbye, Serang. It seems destiny doesn’t allow us to be more than a star and fan.’

nSejun decided to remain as Serang’s fan, holding back tears.

nThen he looked at the blue cherry tomato in his hand.

nMagic Cherry Tomato Imbued the Energy of the Blue Moon

nA cherry tomato grown in the tower, it is delicious as it has absorbed enough nutrients.

nThe energy of the Blue Moon enhances its flavor even more.

nUpon consumption, magic power permanently increases by 0.05.

nCultivator: Tower Farmer Park Se-jun

nExpiration date: 30 days

nGrade: E

n“Huh?!”

nIt was an item that, albeit slightly, raised one’s stats.

n‘Maybe I can make some money by selling this later?’

nJust as Se-jun began to have new hopes,

nA quest has been generated.

n“A quest?”

nQuest: Offer the fruit containing Blue Moon’s energy to the tower’s manager.

nReward: 1 job skill

nIf refused: Death

n“What…?”

nJust ask for it! Don’t make it seem like there’s a choice!

nIt wasn’t a quest, it was a threat.

nDid you have to take everything?!

nMy dreams, my blue cherry tomatoes.

nIt was unfair, but Se-jun had only one choice.

n“Here.”

nAlong with Se-jun’s words, the blue cherry tomato in his hand disappeared.

nYou have completed the quest.

nAs a reward for completing the quest, you have acquired the job skill – Seed Sowing Lv. 1.

n“Are you kidding me!”

nWhy do we even need a skill for seed sowing?!

nSe-jun grumbled and got angry, but after that, the tower’s manager said nothing.

n“Sigh.”

nSe-jun sighed and checked the skill he received.

nJob Skill – Seed Sowing Lv. 1

nSlightly increases the germination rate when seeds are planted.

n“……”

nAt least, thanks to the job’s characteristic of not being bothered by minor illnesses, the body aches had disappeared.

nOn the 61st day of being trapped in the tower, he awakened and obtained the job of Tower Farmer.

n*****

nAs soon as Se-jun opened his eyes, he approached the cave wall.

nWhoosh.

nWith a fishbone, he completed the 15th 正(line) on the wall.

nIt had been 75 days since he came to the cave.

nSplish! Splash!

nSe-jun washed his face in the small pond and came to his senses.

nAnd then,

nSwish swish.

nHolding a torch in his left hand, he waved it left and right over the large pond.

nSplash!

nThe fish that spotted the torch jumped up. As he awakened, he could know the names of the fish. The name written above their heads.

nPiranha

nThwack!

nHe struck the piranha with a club in his right hand. The club was made by tying several layers of dried Scallion leaves with a rope.

nThwack!

nThwack!

nThe piranhas struck by the club flapped vigorously on the ground. In this way, Se-jun caught five piranhas. The number of piranhas he had to catch increased due to the baby rabbits.

nA moment later.

nYou have defeated a Piranha.

nYou have acquired 2 experience points.

n…

n..

n.

nWhen the piranhas could no longer breathe and died, he gained experience points. Since awakening, Se-jun could gain experience points. Thanks to this, he reached level 2 already.

nHowever, he did not hunt piranhas recklessly. At this point, survival was much more important than experience points.

nIf the piranhas’ egg were to run out, both Se-jun and the rabbits would be in trouble. So, he caught only as many as he needed.

nWhile Se-jun was catching piranhas and preparing breakfast, the rabbit couple also started their morning farming.

nAnd something had changed.

nPeep!

nPeep!

nThe baby rabbits started helping with farming, following their parents. Now they were carrying Scallion leaves, trying hard to help.

nUpon awakening, Seojun was able to learn the identity of the rabbits. The names above the rabbits’ heads:

nFarmer White Rabbit

nThis was the true identity of the rabbits. He didn’t know what had happened to them, but they seemed to have lost their farm, wandered around, and settled here after finding the field Seojun had created.

nAt that moment, a delicious aroma began to fill the air.

nBefore he knew it, the piranha dish was ready.

n“Let’s eat breakfast!”

nThe hungry baby rabbits quickly dropped the scallion leaves they were carrying and ran over. After eating their fill, the baby rabbits went back to their burrow to take a nap. They were still young and needed a lot of sleep.

n“Alright. Let’s start harvesting then.”

nSqueak!

nSquee!

nAt Seojun’s words, the rabbit couple made a serious expression. Today was a very important day.

n“Let’s see.”

nSeojun went to the cherry tomato field and examined the ripe red cherry tomatoes.

n‘Good, they’re ripe.’

nPop.

nSeojun picked a ripe cherry tomato.

nYou have obtained a Well-ripened Magical Cherry Tomato.

nYour occupation experience increases slightly.

nYou have gained 10 experience points.

n“Magical Cherry Tomato?”

nMagical Cherry Tomato

nA cherry tomato grown inside the tower, it is delicious and full of nutrients.

nWhen consumed, it breaks down 10g of body fat and increases mana by 0.1 for 10 minutes.

nThe effect stacks up to 10 times within an hour.

nWhen consumed by a non-awakened person, it breaks down 10g of body fat and revitalizes the body.

nCultivator: Tower Farmer Park Seojun

nExpiration date: 30 days

nGrade: E

n“Wow!”

nThis time, it was an item as well. Moreover, just by eating the Magical Cherry Tomato, it could increase mana up to 1.

nThunk. Thunk.

nSeojun began to harvest the cherry tomatoes diligently.

nWhen he accidentally picked an unripe cherry tomato,

nYou have obtained an Unripe Cherry Tomato.

nYour occupation experience does not increase.

nYou have gained 7 experience points.

nThe experience points were reduced, and the occupation experience did not increase.

nMoreover, the cherry tomato turned into a regular cherry tomato instead of an item.

nAfter that, Seojun carefully harvested the cherry tomatoes.

nAnd

nYou have obtained a Well-ripened Magical Cherry Tomato.

nYour occupation experience increases slightly.

nYou have gained 10 experience points.

n…

n..

n.

nYou have leveled up.

nYou have obtained 1 bonus stat.

nBy harvesting 53 Magical Cherry Tomato, Seojun leveled up twice as a bonus.

nThanks to that, Seojun reached level 4.
