Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 49Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()
5,000 years ago.
“The noble wolf who hunts gods, Lord Fenrir, has returned!”
“They say it didn’t even take him a month this time?”
“As expected of the great Lord Fenrir!”
Thump. Thump.
As Fenrir returned in triumph to the heart of Destruction after annihilating an entire world, walking with majestic dignity amid the praises of his subordinates—
Jingle. Jingle.
A cheerful bell sound, strangely out of place, rang from beneath Fenrir’s feet.
What’s this?
When Fenrir looked toward the source of the sound—
“Huweeng, huweeng! Noble wolf who hunts gods, Lord Fenrir, how can I become strong like you?!”
He saw a white snake, far smaller than even Fenrir’s pinky toe.
If not for the sound of the bell, its voice and size were so minuscule that he might have stepped on it without noticing. The floor beneath the white snake was quickly soaked with its tears.
“He recently lost his entire clan and defected to our side. Should I dispose of him?”
The beguiling spider, Alice, approached Fenrir and asked.
Jing-a-ling! Jing-a-ling!
As Alice spoke, the bell rang loudly.
It wasn’t intentional—the snake was trembling in fear, and its tail, shaped like a drooping bell, was violently shaking.
“No. Grrr. Do you want to become strong?”
Fenrir stared directly at the snake and asked.
Normally, he would’ve ignored it—or just killed it—but for whatever whimsical reason, Fenrir responded to the snake.
Maybe it was a way to ease the guilt of being unable to avenge the snake’s clan himself.
“Huu...weeng? Yes! I want to become strong! I want to get revenge for my clan! They slaughtered us just to get our bells!”
The white snake replied with desperate earnestness.
“Then I shall grant it. The strength for revenge.”
Fenrir gave the snake a portion of his power. Though it was a mere speck to Fenrir, it was more than enough for the white snake to exact vengeance.
Jing-a-ling! Jing-a-ling!
“Sniff... sniff... Noble wolf who hunts gods, Lord Fenrir, thank you for giving me strength!”
Apparently, the bell didn’t only ring when afraid—it also rang in joy. The white snake wagged its tail enthusiastically and thanked Fenrir while crying copiously.
For some reason, the previously annoying sound now felt pleasant to Fenrir.
“You’re such a crybaby. So, crybaby, what’s your name?”
“Akasha! I am Akasha of the Bell-Ringing Rattlesnake Clan!”
In response to Fenrir’s question, Akasha answered boldly.
“Very well. Crybaby Akasha. Go and avenge your clan.”
“Yes!”
And Akasha departed for his world, set on revenge.
Roughly 2,000 years later—
“Noble wolf who hunts gods, Lord Fenrir, have you been well?!”
A massive red snake approached and greeted Fenrir.
“Who are you?”
Fenrir asked the unfamiliar serpent.
“It’s me! Akasha, the one you granted power to long ago!”
The red snake replied.
“Ah... crybaby Akasha...”
Only then did Fenrir recognize the trace of his power within Akasha.
But his appearance had changed so drastically, not a trace of the old Akasha remained.
He no longer cried. He had grown massive. His once pure white scales were now dyed a blood-red hue.
And most of all—
“The bell is gone.”
The tip of his tail, which used to emit a cheerful ring, had been severed.
“Yes. It rang annoyingly every time I fought, so I cut it off.”
“...I see.”
Fenrir felt strangely bitter at Akasha’s response.
“Well then, I have to go destroy another world.”
With that, the two parted ways once more.
And now, in the present—
Thinking back, I probably shouldn’t have given him the power for revenge.
Kkamang watched the Akasha who had been completely consumed by vengeance and destructive power, now turned into a monster.
But don’t worry! The great Kkamang shall return you to your original self!
With a confident expression, Kkamang flew toward Akasha.
However—
Shara-lang!
Screech!
Ppiyak!
Mumu!
Being carried by Kkabi, Kkareureu, Sharri, and Mubalchiri, Kkamang’s flying speed was still painfully slow.
Meanwhile—
Kkueng!
A massive Queng had Akasha in a headlock.
— Grr! Let go of me!
Akasha struggled to escape Queng’s grip, but—
“You’re doing great, Queng! Great job! Great job!”
“Puhuhut. Queng is doing well, nya~!”
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Power of magic... Strength enhancement! Power-up!”
[Hehe~. You’re doing great!]
(Bat-Bat! Queng-hyungnim, you look awesome!)
Fueled by Sejun and the others’ cheers and Iona’s support magic, Queng was full of courage.
Kkueeeeng!
Queng’s choking strength intensified.
— Grrgh...
Eventually, Akasha passed out.
Squeak...
[Rest in peace, Akasha...]
Still in mid-flight, Kkamang offered solemn condolences.
A moment later—
Kihehe. Squeak! Squeak!
[Hehe. Butler! This guy used to be a subordinate of the great Kkamang! I’ll re-educate him properly!]
Thunk.
Kkamang and his crew finally arrived and bonked Akasha on the head.
And while Kkamang began Akasha’s mental re-education—
[Emergency Rescue Service has been used.]
[Starting next month, your insurance premium will increase by 10%.]
[No Emergency Rescue Service coupons remain.]
[Would you like to purchase 1 coupon for 300 billion Tower Coins?]
“Uhehehe. Yes!”
[System Eoksamchiri] once again neatly wrung money out of Yuren. He had to patch up the financial holes behind Sejun’s back, after all.
[System Eoksamchiri] was truly thankful for Yuren’s existence.
“Queng, put him in the subspace warehouse.”
Kkueng!
At Sejun’s request, Queng picked up Akasha and tossed him into the subspace warehouse. The rift between worlds that Akasha’s tail had been holding open quietly closed.
Thanks to that, the nearly-destroyed world was saved from Akasha’s clutches.
Just then—
[Remnants of Destruction: You have saved <Earth (Lv. 5)> and <Erebus °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° (Lv. 8)> from Akasha, the World-Strangling Snake.]
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
Sejun waited for the reward message to follow—
“......”
But no additional message came.
You’re seriously going to leave it at that?!
“Eoksamchiri, do you want to be impeached?”
Sejun threatened [System Eoksamchiri] in a low voice.
[As a reward for saving <Earth (Lv. 5)>, you have gained 1% evolution experience.]
[As a reward for saving <Erebus (Lv. 8)>, you have gained 0.3% evolution experience.]
[Converting 0.3% evolution experience of Lv. 8 world to Lv. 5 equivalent...]
Flustered, [System Eoksamchiri] began rapidly printing out messages.
Heheh. See how easy it is if you just do it from the start?
Thanks to subduing Akasha, Sejun gained 3.4% Earth evolution experience.
And just as the situation wrapped up—
“Sejun, where are you~?!”
“Daddy~!”
Aileen and Taecho’s voices called from aboveground. Looked like they had finally come out of the women’s changing room.
Sejun and the others hurried back up.
“Sejun, how do I look?”
“......”
Sejun stared at Aileen in her swimsuit, completely mesmerized. He didn’t answer, but his expression said everything.
He had asked Sedol’s girlfriend, Sera, to prepare a plain black swimsuit to match Aileen’s preference for black. But the moment Aileen put it on, “plain” ceased to exist.
She’s my girlfriend... but she’s too pretty.
I must’ve saved not a country but the world in my past life. At least ten times.
‘Thank you, my past self!’
While Sejun silently thanked his past life—
“Sejun, but where did you go?”
“Yeah! Daddy, where did you go?! You told me to go check on Mommy!”
Aileen and Taecho asked.
“Oh, Yuren suddenly showed up, so...”
He explained what had just happened.
“But why were you late, Aileen?”
“Oh. This thing was harder to put on than I thought...”
Aileen turned around, showing her back.
Unlike the simple front, the back of her swimsuit was open down to her waist, held together precariously by thin black strings that clung to her pale skin.
The back-tie style was what had taken so long.
“Taecho helped Mommy!”
Taecho proudly shouted.
And then—
“......”
Sera, you genius!
You being born was a gift to humanity!
Sejun was dazed once again—this time, his face turning beet red.
“Nya?! Chairman Park, why is your face suddenly turning red, nya?!”
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Blood is rushing to Sejun-nim’s face, increasing his blood pressure! If this keeps up, his face might explode!”
[Sejun-nim, your nose is bleeding! Nooo!]
Kkueeeng! Kkueeeng!
[Daddy! Your face can’t explode, da yo!]
(Bat-Bat. Sejun-nim, please relax!)
Thanks to the commotion, everyone thought Sejun was unwell and quickly began emergency treatment.
A bit later—
“So, what should we do first?”
Calmed by the group’s foot massages, Sejun started water play in earnest.
For reference, Piyot and the rest were left behind—exhausted after being chased by Akasha.
“Let’s start with the waterslide!”
Their first attraction was the waterslide.
However—
“Too slow, nya!”
It was far too slow and boring.
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Shall I use speed enhancement magic?”
“Oh, that sounds great. Do it.”
Sejun also found it dull and asked Iona for help.
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Power of magic...”
Boom!
They underestimated the strength of Iona’s magic. The slide couldn’t withstand the speed and collapsed.
As soon as the slide broke, Sejun called Han Tae-jun.
“Hahaha. It’s fine. Actually, this works out. My nephew was planning to remodel it soon anyway.”
Han Tae-jun assured him. Though it was unclear if he really meant it.
Once the call ended, Sejun and the others went diving.
“Heheh. This is what a real superhero landing looks like!”
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park! Behold my superhero landing, nya!”
Kkueng!
[Daddy, Queng does superhero landing too, da yo!]
Sejun, Theo, and Queng dove together, managing their strength so as not to break the pool.
Then—
“Sejun, I wanna try too!”
“Sejun, me too!”
I have to show Sejun my superhero landing!
Aileen, who had practiced hard with the other young dragons, stepped forward to show off her own landing.
“Aileen, are you sure...?”
Sejun asked in a worried tone.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just back up a little.”
“Okay.”
Following her request, Sejun retreated about 50 meters and placed Theo and Queng in front of him.
“Here I go!”
Whooosh.
Aileen soared into the sky, descending into the center of the pool.
“Super! Hero! Landing!”
She landed perfectly—in a dazzling pose.
BOOM!
...Though she slightly misjudged her strength, launching everything in a 5-meter radius.
“Aileen, that was amazing!”
Sejun rushed over, clearly moved, and praised her.
“Hehehe. Right? I did good, huh?”
“Yeah! You were amazing! And that strength control? Totally perfect!”
Sejun had expected a 50-meter blast radius, so this was a pleasant surprise.
“I practiced strength control a lot. Just so I could go on a date with you.”
Aww... How could a girl this sweet be my girlfriend?!
Sejun was touched by Aileen’s words.
I can’t let her be the only one making effort!
I’ll become even stronger too!
And with that, he once again resolved to grow stronger—for the 3,007th time.
