Chapter 481: Could I actually be the Creator God?
TL: Hanguk
99th floor of the Black Tower.
“What?! You mean the Creator God shed tears while harvesting a Dragon Fruit, and the dead dragon was revived from the dragon fruit?!”
[The Tower Administrator says that’s what Grandpa said.]
Is that even possible?
Sejun was hearing from Aileen about the legend of the Dragon Fruit that she had heard from Kaiser.
[The Tower Administrator says Grandpa told that story from 1,000 years ago just to get a long massage, and she ended up giving him a massage for 6 hours.]
[The Tower Administrator says that on top of that, Grandpa said the tears of the Creator God, who disappeared 3000 years ago, were the way to grow dragon fruit, so she kicked Grandpa out of the administrator area.]
Aileen continued to tattle on Kaiser’s mistakes to Sejun.
Ah. So that’s why Kaiser~nim, whose mood was on cloud nine after becoming a VVIP just a little while ago, suddenly hit rock bottom.‘Ahem. I also think it is the Creator God’s tears, but… I should stay quiet.’
“Kaiser~nim is in the wrong.”
Sejun said firmly while watching Kaiser, who was gloomily gulping down ordinary Samyangju at the fountain.
‘Kaiser~nim, I’ll bring you a few bottles of that golden Samyangju later.’
While sympathizing with Kaiser.
As Sejun continued talking with Aileen,
“I should start dinner. Aileen, is there anything you want to eat?”
[The Tower Administrator says she want to eat the Japanese Pumpkin Soup you made.]
“Japanese Pumpkin Soup? Got it. Vice Chairman Theo, prepare the pumpkins from the Void Storage?”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Kueng?
[What should Cuengi do?]
“Cuengi, you pour the milk into the pot?”
Kuehehehe. Cuengi!
[Hehehe. Got it!]
With the help of Theo and Cuengi, Sejun started making dinner.
As Sejun was cooking,
Tat-tat-tat.
He was chopping onions to put in the soup when,
Shhk.
Without realizing it, he rubbed his eyes with his onion-covered hands.
“Ugh. My eyes sting.”
How could I make such an amateur mistake…
Sejun felt pathetic as he shed tears, blaming himself.
“Huh?!”
Could my tears work too?
Suddenly, the legend of the Dragon Fruit that Aileen had told him earlier came to mind. Could it work if it’s tears?
“Aileen, could you give me the Dragon Fruit pot?”
So Sejun received the Dragon Fruit pot from Aileen and dropped his tears onto the soil.
Drop.
Sejun’s tears soaked into the soil, and soon they dried up quickly.
Is it not enough?
Sejun held an onion in both hands, bringing them to his eyes and started crying in earnest.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Until the soil was thoroughly soaked.
However,
“Is it not working?”
There was no reaction from the Dragon Fruit seed.
At that moment,
[Master, don’t you need butter too?! I’ll get it for you!]
Clang.
Before Sejun’s tears could dry, Flamie hastily opened the door to the Void Storage,
Swish.
and the energy of Creation trapped inside the Void Storage flowed out.
As the blue mist touched the pot,
Crack-crack.
The Dragon Fruit seed suddenly began to grow.
“Huh?!”
Is the Dragon Fruit really germinating with my tears?!”
‘Could I actually be the Creator God?’
Could it be?! Is there a secret to my birth?!
Of course not.
While Sejun was getting ahead of himself,
Crack.
The Dragon Fruit had already finished growing.
At the top of a small cactus stood one Dragon Fruit, just as Sejun heard it.
And then,
[Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun has achieved a great feat of creation by germinating a transcendence grade seed.][As a reward for the great feat of creation, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will be reduced by 0.5%.]
Messages appeared in front of Sejun.
Since this wasn’t the first time, the stay cost reduction rate had dropped significantly from 5% to 0.5%.
“Hehehe.”
As Sejun was about to harvest the dragon fruit while laughing
“No, wait.”
He stopped his hand just before reaching for the fruit.
Aileen had clearly said that after the Dragon Fruit was harvested, one of the Ten Dragons was resurrected.
The Ten Dragons were known for their incredible combat power, revered even among dragons.
So, if he were to harvest the Dragon Fruit?
One of the Ten Dragons would be resurrected.
And then?
I would die immediately.
“Phew.”
That was close.
Sejun let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment,
Snap.
Huh?!
The Dragon Fruit snapped off, unable to bear its own weight.
“Guys, let’s race to the waypoint! Whoever gets there first wins!”
Sejun quickly shouted as he ran out of the cooking area.
It was an idea he came up with because he didn’t want to deal with the consequences or have to explain everything.
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, will be first, meow!”
Kueng! Kueng!
[No way! Cuengi will be first!]
Fortunately, both of them quickly overtook Sejun and sprinted toward the waypoint.
“Whoever gets there first wins! Last place gets no dinner!”
Sejun shouted to everyone while running as fast as he could.
Thus began an impromptu race to the waypoint.
When Sejun finally arrived at the waypoint, many had already beaten him there.
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, came in first, meow! Chairman Park, you came in 1,314th, but don’t be too disappointed, meow!”
“Yeah.”
Theo tried to comfort Sejun, who didn’t seem too affected by it.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi came in second! If big brother hadn’t suddenly turned into light, Cuengi would’ve won!]
Meanwhile, Cuengi clung to Sejun’s waist, proudly boasting about his rank.
But did Cuengi really see Theo using Light Speed Meow-Step, running at the speed of light?
Cuengi’s vision was truly impressive.
“Toryong.”
With Theo and Cuengi clinging to him, Sejun called out to Toryong and observed the farm from a higher vantage point.
The farm was completely empty.
“What’s going on? It’s so quiet.”
If one of the Ten Dragons had appeared, the cooking area should’ve been destroyed just from its size alone, yet the kitchen was completely intact.
Moreover, the dragons of the Four Dragon Council were calmly drinking at the fountain.
“Was I overreacting?”
Sejun cautiously approached the kitchen where the Dragon Fruit had been, with Theo and Cuengi in tow.
Then,
Tat-tat-tat.
Sizzle.
The sounds of someone busily cooking could be heard from inside the kitchen.
Who could it be?
When Sejun peeked inside through the kitchen window
Huh?!
Inside the kitchen, there was a figure with a bronze-colored body continuing the cooking that Sejun had started. Its speed was noticeably slower than Sejun’s.
“Huh? Is that a Dragon Fruit?”
Sejun noticed a Dragon Fruit on top of the cooking figure’s head.
And then,
[A Dragon Fruit with the Ambiguous Dragon Park Sejun’s Energy]Even the name.
“A Dragon Fruit with the Ambiguous Dragon Park Sejun’s Energy?”
Grab.
Curious, Sejun approached the figure, grabbed the Dragon Fruit on its head, and checked its options.
[A Dragon Fruit with the Ambiguous Dragon Park Sejun’s Energy]? A Dragon Fruit seed that absorbed the tears of someone who can barely be called a dragon, and absorbed the energy of creation to grow.
? Due to the low quality of the materials, it failed to fully replicate Park Sejun.
? Replicated 1% of Park Sejun’s abilities.
? [Replicated Stats: Strength (30), Stamina (35), Agility (29), Magic Power (44)]
? [Replicated Skills: Cooking Lv. 9, Seed Harvesting Lv. 2]
? It doesn’t need food or sleep, but will disappear once its expiration date passes.
? Cultivator: Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun
? Expiration date: 30 days
? Grade: S
The description appeared.
“Ah. That makes sense.”
At the same time, Sejun realized that his tears were vastly different from the Creator God’s tears.
In order to sprout the Dragon Fruit seed, it required organic material from a dragon’s body and the energy of creation.
Thanks to the sturdy bones of the young dragon, Sejun’s tears, which were ambiguously recognized as those of a dragon, combined with the energy of creation stored in the Void Storage, causing the Dragon Fruit seed to sprout.
“So, does that mean the resurrection…?”
If it had been a giant dragon, the Dragon Fruit hanging from the tip of its head wouldn’t even have been visible, right?
It seemed likely that the Creator God had made a clone of one of the Ten Dragons through the Dragon Fruit.
However, just having the organic material of one of the Ten Dragons didn’t mean Sejun could create a clone of the Ten Dragons himself.
The higher the abilities of the clone target, the more energy of creation was needed.
Even the Creator God had to shed several drops of tears, concentrated with the energy of creation, to successfully make a clone of one of the Ten Dragons.
Of course, the clone made by the Creator God was perfect enough to be called a resurrection, with all the memories and abilities of the original being intact.
Meanwhile,
“Puhuhut. It’s a fake Chairman Park, meow! But the face still looks just as ugly, meow!”
Kueng! Kueng!
[It’s a fake dad! He’s just as weak as old dad used to be!]
Theo and Cuengi were curiously observing the cloned Sejun.
A little while later,
“Sejun No. 1, you bake the bread.”
Nod.
Upon receiving Sejun’s order, the clone of Sejun began baking bread in the oven.
Though his stats were low, with Cooking Skill Level 9, his ability was reliable.
Thanks to the help of Sejun No. 1, they managed to get dinner ready on time, despite the earlier evacuation chaos.
“Guys, it’s time to eat! Aileen, here’s the pumpkin soup and bread.”
After enjoying dinner with everyone, Sejun was outside relaxing with Theo and Cuengi when,
Kihihit. Kking?!
[Hehe. Are you Butler No. 1?! I am the great Blackie! Bring me some roasted and dried sweet potatoes!]
Nod.
Blackie was excited to have found such an obedient butler.
When Sejun No. 1 pulled out the jar full of roasted and dried sweet potatoes that Sejun had hidden on the kitchen shelf,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler No. 1, hurry up and open it!]
“Quickly!”
Kkiruk!
Shalarrang.
“Hurry up!”
Caw!
Blackie and his underlings were urging Sejun No. 1 excitedly.
Click.
Following Blackie’s command, Sejun No. 1 opened the jar.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Blackie and his underlings hurriedly began eating the roasted sweet potatoes from the jar.
At that moment,
“You little rascals!”
Sejun stormed into the kitchen, shouting at Blackie and his underlings.
What are they up to now? Are they causing trouble again?
Sejun had come to catch Blackie because he had been too quiet.
Kking!
[Run away!]
Thump thump. Thump thump.
Blackie tried to run away in a hurry,
but
Flail. Flail.
He was caught by Cuengi’s telekinesis and handed over to Sejun.
And then,
Kkirorong.
As soon as Sejun started scolding him, Blackie immediately fell asleep.
“Yawn. Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go to bed. Cuengi, sleep well.”
Kueng!
[Good night, Dad!]
Sejun sent Cuengi to sleep with Pink-fur and took Blackie family and Theo to bed.
A few hours later,
Snore.
Gororong.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
…
..
.
The bedroom was filled with nothing but the sounds of snoring.
(Pip-pip. Good night, Flamie-nim!)
The golden bat Paespaes, who had woken up, started its activities.
[Did you sleep well, Paespaes?]
Flamie, who was resting on Sejun’s palm, spoke to him.
(Yes! I’m heading out now!)
[Okay.]
Flap. Flap.
Paespaes flew energetically and arrived at the kitchen.
(Hello, Sejun No. 1-nim! I’m Paespaes!)
After exchanging greetings with Sejun No. 1, Paespaes watched him work while eating the fruit Sejun had prepared.
Sejun No. 1, who didn’t need to sleep, was busy in the kitchen preparing time-consuming dishes like roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
(Pip-pip. I’m full!)
Once the meal was over,
(Pip-pip Patrol!)
Paespaes quickly flew off to scout around the farm.
And then,
(No abnormalities around!)
After finishing his reconnaissance, Paespaes began training in front of the house.
(Pip-pip!)
Paespaes used his dimension-shifting ability, flying swiftly,
104.28.193.250
Whoosh.
Soon, Paespaes arrived at a location completely different from the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
Behind him, a small passageway the size of a baseball, created by piercing through the dimensional wall, remained open.
[Dimension Gate]
After following Sejun to various towers, Paespaes unknowingly awakened this new ability, allowing him to open and maintain dimensional portals.
However, the portal was too small for large beings to pass through.
(Pip-pip! Once the portal is big enough for Sejun-nim to pass through, I’ll show it to him!)
So, Paespaes trained hard, hoping to cross dimensions together with Sejun.
Thanks to his efforts, the portal, originally the size of a tennis ball, had grown slightly to the size of a baseball.
Paespaes continued to train diligently, repeatedly opening and closing the dimension gate.
(Pip-pip!)
Isn’t that the slime that Sejun-nim likes?!
Wobble. Wobble.
Paespaes arrived in a world on the verge of destruction, overrun by slimes.
