Solo Farming In The Tower

Plop.
'Huh?'
Sejun discovered Fenrir falling out of his pocket on its own.
'Our Blackie has grown and can move well now?'
Sejun did not try to catch Fenrir, just watched it.
No matter how hard it tried to run with its plodding steps, he couldn't get far, so he let him be.
Then,
Kking?
Fenrir suddenly disappeared into the ground not far ahead.
"Blackie!"
Sejun hurried to where Fenrir had vanished.
Plop.
"Huh?!"
The ground gave way, and Sejun also sank into the darkness.
And then...
"Chairman Park has fallen, meow!"
Kueng!
[Dad disappeared!]
"Sejun hyung! I'll save you!"
(Sejun nim!)
Piyo!
[Sejun-nim, I'm on it!]
The group waiting in the void storage rushed towards where Sejun had disappeared.
However, the ground that swallowed Sejun and Fenrir had already returned to normal.
"Dig the ground, meow!"
The group began to dig to find Sejun and Fenrir.
***
Rolling.
Thud.
Fenrir, having rolled down the inclined cave for a while, landed on his back.
A moment later.
Kking...
Fenrir regained consciousness.
'Where is this?'
Fenrir looked around.
But,
Kking.
'I can't see anything.'
He could barely see in front of him; beyond that was pitch-black darkness.
As Fenrir was looking around,
Rolling.
Thud.
Sejun, like Fenrir, appeared next to him, having rolled down the cave.
Kking?!
'You came too?!'
Fenrir was so glad to see Sejun; he felt relieved.
And then,
Kkingcha. Kkingcha.
He climbed eagerly onto the unconscious Sejun's chest and,
Tap. Tap.
Kking!
'Wake up!'
He hit Sejun's face with its cute front paws to wake him up.
Then,
Creeping.
The darkness began to approach Sejun and Fenrir little by little.
Kking! Kking!
'Don't come! Don't touch him!'
Fenrir barked loudly at the darkness, threatening it.
However,
Swoosh.
The darkness kept approaching,
Kking!
'I said don't come closer!'
Fenrir launched itself at the darkness.
Swoosh.
And then, Fenrir was swallowed by the darkness.
Swoosh.
So was Sejun.
***
-What's happening?
Fenrir, swallowed by the darkness, looked around to understand the situation.
But there was no difference from before.
However, if there was one change...
-I'm in spirit form?
Fenrir was now in a spirit form. The darkness had separated Fenrir's spirit from
its body.
Then,
Step. Step.
-I am the Night Walker, welcome to the world of the night.
A darker being emerged from the black darkness.
And then,
-Become part of the night.
As the Night Walker spoke, hundreds of thousands of hands emerged from the
darkness to bind Fenrir.
-Hmph! Ridiculous!
I might lack physical strength, but do I lack mental strength?! If you consider only
mental strength, Fenrir was at a level where he could stand toe-to-toe with gods
even at ten to one.
Of course, Fenrir being the 1.
Boom.
With just a slight increase in mental strength, the hands of darkness couldn't
even approach Fenrir.
However,
-Ugh! What is this?! Let go-!
It was different for Sejun. He was caught by ten hands of darkness and dragged
into the darkness.
Sejun truly lacked both mental strength and physical strength, a true sunfish.
Before long, Sejun was swallowed by the darkness, his voice no longer audible.
-How dare you! A lowly being like you dares to touch the one who feeds me?! Angered by the attack on Sejun, Fenrir grew in size and became gigantic.
This is the world of the spirit. For Fenrir, enlarging its body was an easy task if it
wished so.
Thus, Fenrir returned to its original form.
-I am Fenrir, the wolf that hunts gods. I command you to perish.
-Huh?! Fenrir nim? Wait a moment...
The Night Walker, realizing Fenrir's identity too late, called out to it but
Wo0000-!
was drowned out by Fenrir's roar.
-Fenrir-nim? Why would you...?
We're on the same side... The Night Walker sent a look of injustice towards
Fenrir as it vanished.
-Hmph! Dares to touch people when you are not even worth a bite!
Fenrir, completely unaware it had committed "team kill."
-Come out.
Fenrir retrieved Sejun from the darkness that had swallowed him.
As the Night Walker, tasked with sealing the night by destruction, disappeared,
Swoosh.
The night, sealed by the Night Walker, was released, and the darkness of the
cave began to fade away.
Keeerooong.
Kkirorong.
As their separated spirits returned to their bodies, Sejun and Fenrir fell into a
deep sleep.
A while later,
Boom.
The ceiling broke, and Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, the golden bat, and Piyot, who had
dug down into the earth, appeared.
"Chairman Park, wake up, meow!"
Press. Press.
Discovering Sejun lying on the ground, Theo rubbed Sejun's face with healing
energy.
Then,
"Ugh."
Sejun regained consciousness and opened his eyes.
"Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But why am I here? Ah!"
I was chasing Blackie when the ground gave way!
"Huh?! Where's Blackie?!"
Sejun hurriedly looked for Fenrir.
And then,
Kkirorong.
He found Fenrir, lying on its back on top of him, peacefully sleeping in a relaxed
position.
Click.
Sejun carefully picked up Fenrir and put it back in his pocket.
'What a good boy.'
Before regaining consciousness, Sejun had a terrifying nightmare.
Countless hands emerged from the darkness, dragging him into the abyss.
He struggled, but couldn't break free.
As he was being pulled into the darkness, thinking of death,
'Blackie saved me.'
It was a dream, but it felt so real. Though, the sunfish Fenrir saving him was
unlikely...
Still, Sejun was proud of the dream figure that protected him.
'I'll give Blackie some dried sweet potato snacks when it wakes up.'
Just as Sejun thought he hadn't really been in danger but had a frightening
dream,
Kueng!
[Dad, there are sweet potatoes here!]
Cuengi called out to Sejun. "Sweet potatoes?"
Following Cuengi's call, Sejun got up and looked around,
"Huh?! Real sweet potatoes?!"
The cave was filled with sweet potato vines, covering the walls and ceiling.
And then,
Crack.
As Sejun pulled on the vines to harvest the sweet potatoes,
[You have harvested 30 Night Sweet Potatoes.]
[Your job experience has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You gained 2100 experience points.]
[Experience points do not accumulate as the job quest has not been completed.] Messages appeared.
"Hehehe. Found them. Night Sweet Potatoes."
Sejun laughed as he checked the options for the Night Sweet Potatoes.
[Night Sweet Potato]
→ A sweet potato grown inside the tower, it is tasty as it has absorbed enough
nutrients.
→ It has a characteristic of growing only at night. Consumption helps you sleep well, and during sleep, one of the stats among Strength, Stamina, Agility, Magic Power randomly increases by 3.
+
Grower: Tower Farmer Park Sejun
Expiration Date: 150 days
→ Grade: A
"Huh?!"
Although it had nothing to do with the power of darkness Sejun was looking for,
the options were better than expected. Except for one thing...
-It has a characteristic of growing only at night.
Are they called Night Sweet Potatoes because they grow at night? But there's no
night in the Black Tower?
"How did these grow, then?"
As Sejun was puzzled...
[You have achieved the great feat of restoring the night to the Black Tower.]
[As a reward for the great achievement, you have obtained the .]
[As a reward for the great achievement, all stats increase by 100.] [Rewards will be given to those who helped in the great achievement according
to their contributions.]
"Huh?! Me?!"
When did I? Sejun was baffled by the message stating he had restored the night
to the Black Tower.
However,
Kkirorong.
The only one who could answer, Fenrir, was asleep.
"What's going on here?"
Sejun thought for a moment and then said,
"Ah. Now's not the time for this. Guys, help me out."
Creak. Creak.
He and his companions focused on harvesting the Night Sweet Potatoes.
As Sejun emerged outside after harvesting all the Night Sweet Potatoes,
"Huh?! It's gotten dark?"
He was greeted by a slightly dark sky. Night was falling.
"What, meow?! Why is the sky dark, meow?!"
Kueng!
[It's scary!]
Piyo?!
[Why is the sky getting dark?!]
Theo, Cuengi, and Piyot, who had never seen a dark sky in the Black Tower,
clung to Sejun in fear.
And then,
(Pip-pip! This is great!)
The golden bat, who liked the dark, was happy.
"Ah. It's getting dark."
Lastly, Ajax disliked the arrival of the night.
Because the White Tower, unlike the Black Tower, had only night and no day.
"Let's go back for now."
Sejun took his companions back to the 99th floor of the tower.
He wanted to enjoy the Black Tower's first night at home.
***
Black Tower 99th Floor.
-Ah. Nice!
-Come on, fill up the glasses!
-Phrhrhrhr. Kellion, you seem to be in a really good mood?
-Of course. Thanks to Sejun these days, Ajax and I are getting along.
While the dragons were happily drinking Samyangju at the fountain,
-Huh?!
-What's this?!
-Why is it getting dark?!
-Who dares?!

The dragons became displeased and
looked up at the sky, thinkingom someone
was looking down at them
from above. The content is on

However,
There was no one in the sky. Instead, they could only see the darkened sky.
-Huh?! This is night!
Kaiser was moved as he watched the sky grow darker.
At that moment...
-Grandfather, our Sejun did this! Aileen informed Kaiser who had brought the night to the Black Tower.
-Hahahaha. As expected of our Sejun! -Right. Who else but Sejun could do such a thing?
-I'm jealous. Our tower should get some rain too...

-Ramter, see if there's anything
among Sejun's crops that could be helpful. I'm thinking of planting the Detoxifying Green Onion in the Purple Tower with Sejun's permission. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read

While the dragons were conversing,
Boom.
Sejun appeared in the distance, riding on Toryong.
A moment later,
"Heh. Praised again."
Hehehe. Sejun, having received immense affection from Kaiser, smiled smugly.
His arms were full of scales and claws, gifts from Kaiser for bringing back the
night.
But,
"Is this really okay?"
Sejun, who didn't know exactly what he had done, yet everyone said he had
restored the night.
"Just enjoy it. Hehehe."
Sejun laughed and went to the yard in front of his house.
And then,
Crack. Crack.
He continued to enlarge the protective tree shield by infusing it with mana,
"Vice Chairman Theo, cut it."
"Puhuhut. Understood, meow!"
He had Theo cut it.
Though it was made from the World Tree and was tough,
Swoosh. Swoosh.
It was easily cut by Theo's dragon claws.
"Cuengi and Ajax, stack the wood."
Kueng!
[Understood!]
"Okay! Hyung!"
He had them stack the wood Theo had cut.
Once the wood was piled high,
Snap.
Sejun snapped his fingers, creating a flame and lighting the wood on fire.
"Hehehe. A campfire is perfect for a dark night."
Crackle. Crackle.

Listening to the sound of the wood
burning, Sejun wrapped sweet m
potatoes and potatoes in foil and
tossed them into the fire. The content

Making roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Sejun put in two types of sweet potatoes: Golden sweet potatoes and the Night
Sweet Potatoes harvested today. While the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes were cooking,
The fire blazed more fiercely, and conversely, the sky grew even darker.
And the companions sat around the campfire. Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It really tastes amazing when eaten like this!]
"Really?! Eheh. I'm looking forward to it."
"Me too."
Ajax and Veronica swallowed their saliva as they listened to Cuengi's
explanation.
Piyo! Piyo!
[Pfft! This is how you make fire peanuts!]
Piyot skewered raw peanuts and roasted them over the fire.
"Meoow. Nice, meow!"
Theo, lounging lazily on Sejun's lap and basking in the warmth of the fire.
Kkirorong.
Fenrir, still sleeping in Sejun's pocket.
"This is nice."
Sejun watched his companions contentedly, enjoying a peaceful time when,
[Night has fallen.]
[ is activated.]
[All stats increase by 20% during the night.]
Night had come to the Black Tower for the first time.
