: I Might Lack Physical Strength, but Do I Lack Mental Strength?
<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
Plop.
Huh?
Sejun discovered Fenrir falling out of his pocket on its own.
Our ckie 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 couldnt get far, so he let him be.
Then,
Kking?
Fenrir suddenly disappeared into the ground not far ahead.
ckie!
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! Ill save you!
(Sejun nim!)
Piyo!
[Sejun~nim, Im 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,nded on his back.
A momentter.
Kking
Fenrir regained consciousness.
Where is this?
Fenrir looked around.
But,
Kking.
I cant see anything.
He could barely see in front of him; beyond that was pitch-ck 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 d to see Sejun; he felt relieved.
And then,
Kkingcha. Kkingcha.
He climbed eagerly onto the unconscious Sejuns chest and,
Tap. Tap.
Kking!
Wake up!
He hit Sejuns 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!
Donte! Dont touch him!
Fenrir barked loudly at the darkness, threatening it.
However,
Swoosh.
The darkness kept approaching,
Kking!
I said donte closer!
Fenrirunched itself at the darkness.
Swoosh.
And then, Fenrir was swallowed by the darkness.
Swoosh.
So was Sejun.
***
-Whats 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
-Im in spirit form?
Fenrir was now in a spirit form. The darkness had separated Fenrirs spirit from its body.
Then,
Step. Step.
-I am the Night Walker, wee to the world of the night.
A darker being emerged from the ck darkness.
And then,
-Be part of the night.
As the Night Walker spoke, hundreds of thousands of hands emerged from the darkness to bind Fenrir.
-Hmph! Ridiculous!
I mightck physical strength, but do Ick 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 couldnt 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 trulycked 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, erging 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. Imand you to perish.
-Huh?! Fenrir nim? Wait a moment
The Night Walker, realizing Fenrirs identity toote, called out to it but
Wooooo-!
was drowned out by Fenrirs roar.
-Fenrir~nim? Why would you?
Were 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,pletely unaware it hadmitted 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 whileter,
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 Sejuns face with healing energy.
Then,
Ugh.
Sejun regained consciousness and opened his eyes.
Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!
Yeah, Im fine. But why am I here? Ah!
I was chasing ckie when the ground gave way!
Huh?! Wheres ckie?!
Sejun hurriedly looked for Fenrir.
And then,
Kkirorong.
He found Fenrir, lying on its back on top of him, peacefully sleeping in a rxed 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 couldnt break free.
As he was being pulled into the darkness, thinking of death,
ckie 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.
Ill give ckie some dried sweet potato snacks when it wakes up.
Just as Sejun thought he hadnt really been in danger but had a frightening dream,
Kueng!
[Dad, there are sweet potatoes here!]
Cuengi called out to Sejun.
Sweet potatoes?
Following Cuengis 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 umte as the job quest has not beenpleted.]
Messages appeared.
Hehehe. Found them. Night Sweet Potatoes.
Sejunughed 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 theres no night in the ck Tower?
How did these grow, then?
As Sejun was puzzled[You have achieved the great feat of restoring the night to the ck Tower.]
[As a reward for the great achievement, you have obtained the <Title: The One Who Restored the Night>.]
[As a reward for the great achievement, all stats increase by 100.]
[Rewards will be given to those who helped in the great achievement ording to their contributions.]
Huh?! Me?!
When did I? Sejun was baffled by the message stating he had restored the night to the ck Tower.
However,
Kkirorong.
The only one who could answer, Fenrir, was asleep.
Whats going on here?
Sejun thought for a moment and then said,
Ah. Nows not the time for this. Guys, help me out.
Creak. Creak.
He and hispanions focused on harvesting the Night Sweet Potatoes.
As Sejun emerged outside after harvesting all the Night Sweet Potatoes,
Huh?! Its gotten dark?
He was greeted by a slightly dark sky. Night was falling.
What, meow?! Why is the sky dark, meow?!
Kueng!
[Its scary!]
Piyo?!
[Why is the sky getting dark?!]
Theo, Cuengi, and Piyot, who had never seen a dark sky in the ck Tower, clung to Sejun in fear.
And then,
(Pip-pip! This is great!)
The golden bat, who liked the dark, was happy.
Ah. Its getting dark.
Lastly, Ajax disliked the arrival of the night.
Because the White Tower, unlike the ck Tower, had only night and no day.
Lets go back for now.
Sejun took hispanions back to the 99th floor of the tower.
He wanted to enjoy the ck Towers first night at home.
***
ck Tower 99th Floor.
-Ah. Nice!
-Come on, fill up the sses!
-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?!
-Whats this?!
-Why is it getting dark?!
-Who dares?!
The dragons became displeased and looked up at the sky, thinking someone was looking down at them from above.
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!N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
Aileen informed Kaiser who had brought the night to the ck Tower.
-Hahahaha. As expected of our Sejun!
-Right. Who else but Sejun could do such a thing?
-Im jealous. Our tower should get some rain too
-Ramter, see if theres anything among Sejuns crops that could be helpful. Im thinking of nting the Detoxifying Green Onion in the Purple Tower with Sejuns permission.
While the dragons were conversing,
Boom.
Sejun appeared in the distance, riding on Toryong.
A momentter,
Heh. Praised again.
Hehehe. Sejun, having received immense affection from Kaiser, smiled smugly.
His arms were full of scales and ws, gifts from Kaiser for bringing back the night.
But,
Is this really okay?
Sejun, who didnt know exactly what he had done, yet everyone said he had restored the night.
Just enjoy it. Hehehe.
Sejunughed and went to the yard in front of his house.
And then,
Crack. Crack.
He continued to erge 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 Theos dragon ws.
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 me 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 potatoes and potatoes in foil and tossed them into the fire.
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 zed more fiercely, and conversely, the sky grew even darker.
And thepanions sat around the campfire.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It really tastes amazing when eaten like this!]
Really?! Eheh. Im looking forward to it.
Me too.
Ajax and Veronica swallowed their saliva as they listened to Cuengis exnation.
Piyo! Piyo!
[Pfft! This is how you make fire peanuts!]
Piyot skewered raw peanuts and roasted them over the fire.
Meoow. Nice, meow!
Theo, loungingzily on Sejunsp and basking in the warmth of the fire.
Kkirorong.
Fenrir, still sleeping in Sejuns pocket.
This is nice.
Sejun watched hispanions contentedly, enjoying a peaceful time when,[Night has fallen.]
[<Title: The One Who Restored the Night> is activated.]
[All stats increase by 20% during the night.]
Night hade to the ck Tower for the first time.
