<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
ck Tower, 99th floor.
ck Park-Ai Wizard Tower. Master’s Chamber.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot! From now on, ck Park-Ai Wizard Tower’s master is ckster!”
Iona, havingpleted the handover to ckster, spoke in an extremely bright voice.
ckster, who had exceptional talent in magic, had significantly improved his skills while carrying out the tasks assigned by Iona.
Kyoot kyoot kyoot! I found a sessor!
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. ckster, within a month, you’ll be the Tower Master!”
“Huh? Me?!”“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. Just ept it as it is!”
Iona had forcibly enhanced ckster’s magic skills, grooming him as her sessor to take over as the Wizard Tower Master.
Finally, Iona was free from simultaneously serving as both the Chairman of the Wizard’s Association and the ck Park-Ai Wizard Tower.
In her current mood, she felt she could smile through any insult thrown her way.
Of course, the consequences of actually insulting her would be the insulter’s responsibility.
But where there is light, there is also darkness.
“I’ll do my best…”
Unlike Iona, ckster’s voice was extremely gloomy.
It was only natural. Things were already tough for him, and bing the Wizard Tower Master would make them several times harder.
ckster, who had been assisting Iona, knew all too well just how much work the Wizard Tower Master had to do.
Why is my talent so exceptional…
While for some, bing the Wizard Tower Master might be a dreame true,
‘I already only sleep 10 hours every three days…’
Will I even be able to sleep in the future?
For ckster, actually bing the Wizard Tower Master brought no joy at all.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Then, good luck!”
With that, Iona left ckster stuck in the Tower and cheerfully departed.
Now I have more time to be with Theo~nim!
Eager to share this joyous news, she immediately went to find Theo.
However,
“Kyoo- Theo~nim isn’t here!”
Theo was not in the ck Tower.
“Kyoo… Searching.”
He must be near Sejun~nim.
Hurriedly, Iona focused her mind and searched for Sejun’s Void Storage.
Using his Void Storage as a medium for dimensional teleportation minimized magic consumption while greatly increasing spell stability.
Momentster,
Found him!
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot! Gate of dimensions, open!”
Iona cast a dimensional teleportation spell and disappeared from the ck Tower’s 99th floor.

<Avian>
“Guys, it’s time for dinner. Tonight’s dinner is fried squid.”
Thud.
As Sejun ced a massive te of fried squid at the center of the table,
Kueng!
Cuengi wiggled his hips in a celebratory dance, raising his arms in excitement.
“You alle eat too.”
“Yes!”
“Thank you!”
At Sejun’s call, Badin and his subordinates, who had been hesitating at a distance, reluctantly took their seats.
They had been anxiously watching Sejun cook with the fire moths they had just hunted.
Though the aroma was tempting,
Cooking a cmity?!
They knew exactly what the ingredients were.
However,
Crunch.
The sound of Cuengi biting into the fried squid,
“Huh?!”
“What…?!”
Shook their resolve.
Gulp.
Badin and his subordinates swallowed their saliva.
Maybe… just one bite?
Hesitantly, they picked up a piece of fried squid, dipped it in soy sauce like Cuengi, and carefully put it in their mouths.
And then,
Crunch.
The moment they tasted Sejun’s cooking, Badin and his subordinates were stunned.
This is actually delicious?!
Contrary to their expectations, the fried squid was unbelievably tasty.
On top of that, it granted a special effect that enhanced fire-based attacks.
While they were eating dinner,
“Sejun~nim, if we head north, we can take down the petrifying spider, then move east to deal with the Flesh Eaters.”
Badin exined their next movement route to Sejun.
With a vast intelligencework covering almost all of <Avian>, Badin used it to track down cmities.
“Then tomorrow morning’s breakfast will be king crab ramen.”
Kueng!
At Sejun’s words, Cuengi cheered while munching on his fried squid.
“Then let’s depart right away.”
“Yes!”
Sejun and his party rode horses through the dark desert.
Flying would have been faster, But,
“I want to tour the desert on horseback.”
Sejun wanted to experience traveling through the desert on horseback.
The reason this was possible was that most of <Avian>’s residents were nomadic tribes.
Having received Badin’s information, they had moved away from areas affected by the cmities, so the damage caused by them was minimal.
Without realizing it, Badin was building a positive reputation among <Avian>’s residents.
And so, Sejun mounted his horse for the desert tour.
“Giddyup!”
Neigh.
In response to Sejun’smand, the horsepletely ignored him.
But then,
“Puhuhut. Obey the words of great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Move out, meow!”
Kueng! Kueng!
[Stay still, you! If you don’t listen to Dad, you’ll be in trouble!]
Neigh!
[I will listen!]
As soon as Theo and Cuengi stepped in, the horse suddenly began to understandmands.
Tremble. Tremble.
Though it did shake its legs slightly in nervousness.
Kihihit. Kking. Kking.
[Hehe. Too bad. Great ckie was about to punish you.]
ckie added ament with a smug expression.
It sounded like bravado, but it was not.
If ckie had stepped in, the horse’s soul would have been erased.
After riding north for about five hours,
Kieek!
They spotted the petrifying spiders.[Sejun Company full-time employee, <Avian>’s hero, the radiant star of the desert, Badin, has in the petrifying spider.]
[You have obtained 250,000 experience points, which is 25% of the experience points acquired by Badin, the full-time employee of Sejun Company, <Avian>’s hero, the radiant star of the desert.]
[ck Tower’s lucky legendary merchant, Park Theo…]
…
..
.
[Advanced Herbalist Park Cuengi…]
“Come on, everyone, fighting!”
Sejun cheered on his team while staying on his horse.
“Hey, stay still!”
Neigh…
[I was staying still…]
He randomly yelled at his still-standing horse just for the sake of it.
A little whileter,
[You have leveled up.]
…
..
.
Sejun leveled up and reached level 170.
And then,[A job quest has been generated.]
[Job Quest: A thousand years ago, <Avian> was a vast, lush grasnd. However, due to an unknown heat, thend lost its vitality and turned into a desert. Find and eliminate the unknown heat and make 10,000 flowers bloom in <Avian>.]
Reward: Level 171 unlock, 30 billion Tower Coins, all stats +1000
A job quest message appeared before Sejun.
Find and eliminate the unknown heat and make 10,000 flowers bloom?
<em>“Create Thundercloud!”</em>
After confirming the quest, Sejun used the Rain Thunder skill to form thunderclouds in the sky.
Rumble.
The sky within a 60km radius around Sejun was covered with dark clouds.
Moreover,
Gulp.
Sejun ate a Magical Blue Bean and a Transcendence ck Bean at the same time, causing the thunderclouds to grow evenrger.
With his magic power amplified 16 times, the radius of the clouds also expanded 16 times,pletely engulfing the surrounding area in darkness.
And then,
“Let it rain.”
Sejun started a light drizzle.
He didn’t need to pour too much rain; he only wanted to moisten the soil for future farming and locate the unknown heat.
Kking!
[Butler! I’m getting all wet!]
ckie grumbled as he got drenched.
“Alright.”
nk.
To avoid the rain, Sejun opened the door to his Void Storage and went inside, watching the battle unfold outside.
104.28.193.250
“Meow!”
Kueng!
Theo and Cuengi took down 95% of the petrifying spiders.
“Die!”
Badin took care of the remaining 5%.
Badin’s subordinates merely stood by in the rain, watching.
The petrifying spiders were not an enemy they could take down without getting hurt.
A little whileter,
As Sejun ran out of magic power, he stopped the rain.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, it’s over, meow!”
Kueng!
[Cuengi want to eat king crab ramen quickly!]
Theo and Cuengi returned after finishing off the petrifying spiders.
“Hurry up and load them!”
“Make sure the legs don’t break while loading!”
Badin and his subordinates began loading the petrifying spider corpses into the Void Storage.
“Hehehe. Just wait a moment.”
Meanwhile, Sejun set the water to boil for the ramen and prepared the petrifying spider legs to be added to the dish. He also grilled three fish for Theo to eat.
Once the ramen was ready,
Slurp.
The group began eating.
“Make it rain.”
Sejun again began a light drizzle.
Eating king crab ramen inside the Void Storage while watching the soft rain fall outside.
The atmosphere was perfect, and the rich aroma of ramen carried through the damp air, stimting their appetite.
Hehehe. This looks delicious.
Sejun quickly scooped up a spoonful of broth and brought it to his mouth.
Gulp.
“Krrr.”
The cool yet spicy broth slid down his throat, instantly refreshing him. He hadn’t even been drinking, but it felt like the perfect hangover cure.
Slurp. Slurp.
Sejun fully immersed himself in devouring the ramen.
After finishing his bowl,
“Who wants to mix in some rice?!”
Kueng!
At Sejun’s call, Cuengi eagerly raised his front paw.
Seeing this, Badin and his subordinates also followed suit and raised their hands.
They had realized something, the best way to eat was to copy Cuengi exactly.
“Alright. Here you go.”
Sejun handed out the pre-cooled rice he had prepared.
Slurp.
The group mixed the rice into the ramen broth and resumed their meal.
Once breakfast was finished, they set off eastward toward the Flesh Eaters.
Two hourster.
Keeeek!
A horde of Flesh Eaters appeared, moving through the desert.
“We’ll handle these ones, sir.”
Step.
Badin stepped forward confidently.
“Wait.”
Sejun stopped him.
And then,
“Summon door.”
Thud.
Sejun summoned a gate leading to the 10th Tower.
Click.
He inserted the key into the gate and opened it.
“Guys,e on out!”
He called into the door.
At that moment,
Kiki!
Kiki!
Destruction Devourers poured out in response to Sejun’s call.
Kiki!
They immediately fixed their gazes on the Flesh Eaters, sensing their aura of destruction.
Keeeek!
Sensing the threat instinctively, the Flesh Eaters reacted with hostility toward the Destruction Devourers.
But,
Kiki!
Kiki!
The Destruction Devourers kepting. There was no end to them.
Soon, the Flesh Eaters werepletely surrounded.
Chomp. Chomp.
The Destruction Devourers began devouring the Energy of Destruction from their foes.
Since assimting the enemy still counted as an elimination for questpletion, there was no need to y them outright.
A short whileter,
Kiki!
Kiki!
The entire area was filled with nothing but Destruction Devourers.
“All right, time to go back.”
Sejun sent the destruction devourers back, and
Kiki!
Kiki!
In an orderly line, the Destruction Devourers marched back into the 10th Tower.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe! Listen up, everyone! Great Boss ckie will now tell you of his glorious achievements! Earlier, my butler tried to-]
Before returning, ckie started boasting to the Destruction Devourers in line, recounting histest “feat”,
How Sejun had tried to make him diet, but he had sessfully protected his roasted sweet potato snack.
…Is that really something to be proud of?
While Sejun looked at ckie in utter disbelief,
“Meow?!”
Suddenly, Theo started looking around frantically.
“Vice Chairman Theo, what’s wrong?”
“Iona is here, meow!”
nk.
Theo hurriedly opened the Void Storage.
And then,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot! Theo~nim!”
Just as she was about to step out of the gate, Iona flung herself toward Theo.
“Puhuhut. Iona, be careful, meow! You might get hurt, meow!”
Theo caught Iona gently as he spoke.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Okay!”
There was no way she would actually get hurt from falling from this height, she could simply use flight magic.
But,
Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo~nim is worried about me!
Feeling overjoyed by Theo’s concern, Iona nodded with a blissful expression.
“Iona, wee.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun~nim, hello.”
With that, Iona joined the group, immediately clinging to Theo’s tail, and
“Badin, where do we head next?”
“There are reports of giant blood-sucking leeches appearing to the southwest, sir.”
“Oh yeah? Then let’s go right away.”
“Yes!”
Sejun and his group set off toward the next cmity.
A short whileter,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of gravity! Drop the floating stones from the sky upon the enemy! Meteor!”
The giant bloodsucking leeches were instantly turned into perfectly dried seaweed.
“Make it rain. Guys, load the seaweed over here.”
Sejun summoned thunderclouds, made it rain over the area, and directed Badin and his subordinates on where to put the dried leech seaweed.
At that moment,
Sizzle!
Unlike other areas, one spot immediately evaporated the rain upon contact, producing a sharp hissing sound.
Kueng?!
Curious about the sound, Cuengi approached the spot.
Sniff sniff.
This smells like herbs!
There was a faint smell of medicinal herbsing from underground.
Hehehe. Cuengi will get praised by Dad!
Excited, Cuengi dug tens of kilometers into the ground in search of the herbs.
And,
Avake appeared.
And in the center of theke,
[Baby Extreme me Herb]
On a small ind in the middle of thevake, there was the rare herb Sejun needed to be an SS-rank Tower Farmer.
Kueng!
[Cuengi found it!]
Delighted at the thought of getting praised by Sejun, Cuengi flew toward the ind.
But At that moment,
-Who dares awaken my slumber?!
Rumble.
The small ind began to rise.
