Lucky!

Sejun smiled as he saw the gigantic worm no, the Black Earth Dragon. Who wouldve thought that a monster resembling an earthworm would appear on its own?

Now, whether the field is 330,000 square meters or 3.3 million square meters, it doesnt matter. If the Black Earth Dragon passes by and swallows and spits out the soil several times, its ready. Theres a reason why earthworm farming is popular on Earth.

But do earthworms only eat soil?

Because of its size, Sejun wondered if he needed to feed the Black Earth Dragon something additional.

While Sejun was daydreaming, his fantasies as if he had already tamed the Black Earth Dragon,

Thats a huge worm, meow!

Theo rudely pointed at the Black Earth Dragon with his claw and shouted.

-How dare you! Just for awakening me, the Earth Dragon, you deserve death!! And to insult me by calling me an earthworm!!! I shall not let you die easily!!!

This further fueled the anger of the Black Earth Dragon, who was already sending a murderous glare at Sejun for awakening it.

However,

Humph! So what, meow! I am more amazing, meow! Because I am a subordinate of the great Black Dragon

Theo was introducing himself without any hesitation to the Black Earth Dragon. But,

-What?! The great Black Dragon took someone like you as a subordinate?!!! I cant believe it! If you are really a subordinate of the great Black Dragon, show me the proof!

The Black Earth Dragon interrupted Theo and demanded proof of the Black Dragon.

Puhuhut. Here it is, meow! Cuengi, show yours too, meow!

Theo, as if he was waiting for it, confidently showed the sole of his hind paw.

Krueng!

[Here it is!]

Cuengi also gave a thumbs up in response to Theos words.

Swoosh.

Sejun slowly rolled up his sleeve, flexing his left arm to show his dragon tattoo.

And then,

-This How can this be

The Black Earth Dragon was greatly shocked after seeing the Black Dragons tattoo on Sejuns arm. It wasnt just because the tattoo was large and clearly visible.

-He had time to give such a lowly being his mark!!!

The anger was due to the neglect of not visiting him for centuries despite serving the Black Tower for over a thousand years, yet giving a weak being like Sejun a mark.

Bang!

Eventually, the Black Earth Dragon lost its rationality and lost its temper. Showing the proof had a counterproductive effect.

And then,

-Die!!!

The Black Earth Dragon, having lost its rationality, swung its massive tail towards Sejun.

However,

Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo- How dare you damage my tower!!!

Iona, who had been sleeping on Theos tail, opened her eyes as she felt the enormous force approaching her tower. She opened her eyes in annoyance; the tower had just been repaired from Cuengis damage.

Stones! At my command, strike the enemy! Flame Stone Missile!

When Iona cast her spell towards the approaching tail of the Black Earth Dragon, thousands of stones on the ground levitated and, with rapid acceleration, flew towards it.

Kwa-gwa-gwang!

With a loud explosion, a giant shockwave and fragments of stone rushed towards the tower.

However,

Woong.

As if to prove it was no ordinary wizard tower, the barrier installed on the tower blocked the shockwave and the stones.

Meanwhile,

Gravity, follow my command and strengthen the force! Gravity Control.

Iona cast another spell, applying tenfold gravity on the Black Earth Dragon.

Ku-gu-gung.

-Ugh

With Ionas spell, the Black Earth Dragon was buried into the ground.

The power of magic

Just as Iona was about to deliver the final blow,

Iona, dont kill it! Lets go down, guys.

Sejun hurriedly stopped Iona, who was about to kill the worker needed for earthworm farming.

He hurriedly took the animals and descended the wizard tower. He was planning to coax the Black Earth Dragon, who was angry because of the proof, into working on the farm by giving it the proof.

As soon as they arrived at the place where the Black Earth Dragon was buried,

Kuoooo!

The Black Earth Dragon, overcoming ten times the gravity, raised its head from the ground.

Wait, listen to me. I have the proof

When Sejun tried to persuade the Black Earth Dragon to work together on the farm by touching its body,

[You have made contact with the Black Earth Dragon, the ally of the Black Tower Farmer.]

[A quest has been generated.]

[Job Quest: Tame the angry Black Earth Dragon, the one who swallows the land, that has been neglected for hundreds of years, and give it a name!]

Success is guaranteed as long as you tame it by any means necessary.

Reward: Black Earth Dragon, the one who swallows the land, will help with farming.

A quest was triggered.

Huh?! An ally?

-What?! A weakling like you is a tower farmer?!

While making contact with Sejun, the Black Earth Dragon seemed extremely surprised, perhaps realizing Sejuns identity. It was because Sejun was too weak. There had never been such a weak tower farmer in the history of the Black Tower. It was a bad sign. A sign of the towers downfall.

Yeah. So, lets work together.

Already used to being looked down upon for being weak, Sejun continued to speak to the Black Earth Dragon.

Then,

-I cannot acknowledge a lowly tower farmer like you!

Kugugung.

The Black Earth Dragon attacked Sejun using its tail, which was hidden underground.

Krueng!

[Daddys in danger!]

Cuengi enlarged to block the attack.

Kwaaang!

Krooooo!

The dragon tattoo on Cuengis thumb roared, protecting Cuengi before disappearing.

Krueng?

Although the item description said it would activate when life was in danger, it actually activated automatically when it was attacked with a certain level of force. The Dragon Skin was activated.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Cuengis tattoo is gone! Cuengi is angry!]

Kwaaang! Kwagwagwang!

As the tattoo disappeared, the angry Cuengi started to beat the Black Earth Dragon with its front paws.

Krueng!

[The worm is bad!]

-Euk!

The Black Earth Dragon groaned in pain from Cuengis attack. Due to the 10 times gravity, it was hard to move its body properly, making it impossible to counterattack.

Cuengi, stop hitting it. Ill engrave the tattoo again.

When Cuengi sufficiently battered the Black Earth Dragons body, Sejun stopped Cuengi.

And then,

Here.

Using Kaisers scales, Sejun engraved the dragon tattoo on Cuengis thumb again.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Thank you, Daddy! Cuengis tattoo has returned!]

While Cuengi was happily celebrating the return of its tattoo,

-How could you?

How about it? Want one? Follow me and Ill engrave one for you.

Seeing Sejun engraved the tattoo on Cuengi again, the Black Earth Dragon, who was in shock, was tempted by Sejun showing dozens of Kaisers scales.

However,

-Youre weak

It felt disdain at the sight of him cowering behind strong monsters.

Dont want to? Then theres no choice. Cuengi, hit the worm some more.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Got it! The bad worm needs more beating!]

-No Wait

Krueng!

Kwaaang!

Before the Black Earth Dragon could finish speaking, Cuengis uppercut struck.

After being hit for a while,

Will you follow or not?

Sejun asked again.

-

The Black Earth Dragon didnt answer. It didnt want to be hit, but it wasnt ready to submit yet.

I even thought of a cool name for you Arent you curious?

Sejun gave the Black Earth Dragon a reason it couldnt refuse.

-My name?!

Yes. How about Toryong ()? In Earth, Ryong is the same as Yong (Dragon).

Ryong means dragon, and the fact that Toryong means earthworm was a secret.

However,

-!

The Black Earth Dragon, who didnt know that, was deeply moved by Sejuns words. He even included a word equivalent to dragon in the name!

[The quest has been completed.]

[As a reward for completing the quest, the Black Earth Dragon, Toryong, will help with the farm work.]

Although there was no answer, the quest completion message indicated that the Black Earth Dragon, now Toryong, decided to join Sejuns farm.

-Very well! Master, I will follow you.

Welcome, Toryong.

Sejun said as he engraved the tattoo on Toryongs head. A dragon tattoo the size of a bean was carved on its head.

Welcome, youngest brother, Toryong, meow! I am the eldest brother, Theo Park, meow!

Krueng! Krueng!

[Welcome to the new youngest brother! I am the fourth brother, Park Cuengi!]

-Youngest?

Youre the last to join, so youre the youngest, meow!

Krueng! Krueng!

[Thats right! Toryong is the sixth!]

The second is Flamie, the third is Black Rabbit

Theo recited the family tree.

Having the mark and a name was nice, but getting five older brothers and a sister out of nowhere? The Earth Dragon wasnt sure whether this was a good or bad thing.

However,

-Still, Im over 2000 years old

Being called the youngest felt a bit unjust.

***

20th floor of the tower.

Is everyone here?

Yes!

Han Tae-jun asked, looking at the disciples who had joined halfway.

Then,

Huh?

Jang Rin, who was missing an arm, caught Han Tae-juns eye.

Jang Rin! Why are you here? Go back to the hospital!

Han Tae-jun shouted. It was too dangerous for him to come here with a body that hadnt recovered yet.

Master. I must avenge my brothers! And without me, who remembers the enemys appearance and characteristics, tracking will be difficult. Please let me go with you!

.

Han Tae-jun looked silently into Jang Rins eyes. He could force him to go back, but the determination in his eyes was unwavering.

Fine. But dont stray too far from me.

Yes! Thank you, Master.

First, tell me what you remember.

The attackers who ambushed us were wearing black masks and black clothes.

Is there nothing else?

It was difficult to pursue them based on that alone because it was a common outfit for robbers.

Ah! There was one peculiar thing.

Peculiar?

Yes. I briefly saw a tattoo of a snake with three heads in a circle on one of their necks.

A snake with three heads?!

Yes. Did I see it wrong?

Hmm

Han Tae-jun let out a sigh instead of answering.

A snake tattoo with three heads

He did not know the exact name of the organization. It was just informally called the Three Head Society because they had a circular tattoo of a snake with three heads.

The origin of the organization was known to be made up of hunters from the mafia, yakuza, and triads.

If Jang Rin saw correctly, this was very dangerous. It was not something that could be resolved with just his and his disciples strength.

But if they continued to target the sturdy blade green onions, it was also unavoidable.

For now, lets move to the 40th floor of the tower.

Yes!

Han Tae-jun took his disciples and moved to the 40th floor. He was planning to ask for help from the cat merchants.

***

They returned to the farm riding Toryong. When they arrived at the farm, it was already bedtime.

-Then I will start working right away!

As soon as they arrived at the farm, Toryong shrank to the size of a finger and jumped right into the field.

Alright, take care.

Krueng!

[Cuengi is going to sleep!]

Yes. Good night, Cuengi.

Sejun said goodbye to Cuengi and headed home. It had been a tiring day.

Ker-er.

Gororong.

Kyororong.

Sejun, Theo, and Iona fell asleep as soon as they lay down.

Then,

Thud. Thud.

Without any noise, the door opened, and a white figure entered the room without hesitation. However, no one noticed the intruder as there was no sound.

The being that entered Sejuns bedroom began to rummage through Sejuns body, searching for something.

And then,

-Found it.

When it took out a leather pouch with seeds from Sejuns pocket and tried to swallow a seed,

Snap.

Theos front paw blocked the white beings mouth.

What, meow?! Kellion, are you trying to steal, meow?

-Ah No

Theo asked, looking at Kellion.

-How

Kellion looked back at Theo as if unable to understand why Theo could see him.

Kellion had been waiting for the right moment when Kaiser left to steal the seed of Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power that Sejun had.

And when Kaiser left, he cast not only soundproof magic inside the bedroom but also perception distortion and all other magic to avoid detection. Yet he was still caught by Theo.

Chairman Park! There is a thief, meow!

Theo loudly alerted about the thiefs intrusion. It seemed the day was not over yet.
