Just a little more and I’ll see Chairman Park, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dadadada.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As White Castle came into view, Theo quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud explosion, a black object smashed through the wall of a tavern and flew towards Theo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the- Meow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo casually dodged the object flying towards him and closely examined the object whizzing past his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Meow? Black…? It’s a skull, meow?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo identified the object as a skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the meaning of this, meow?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking someone had attacked him with a skull, Theo yelled towards the tavern where the skull had come from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, sorry. It was a mistake. So, why are you standing there… just go on your way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nonchalant monster walked out of the tavern, responding to Theo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo was surprised to see the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud. Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware or not caring about Theo, the monster picked up the skull it had thrown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare a lowly creature from the lower floors talk to me, Paku from the 59th floor of the Tower?! Huh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed the skull onto the ground as he yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grr…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull, unable to answer due to a missing jawbone, just took the abuse miserably. A truly despicable scene of bullying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one around interfered, not wanting to get involved in needless trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop that, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo struck the back of Paku’s head with his front paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch! I was just educating this lowly creature… Who dares interrupt me?! Huh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku, enraged after being hit on the back of his head, shouted furiously with bloodshot eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo was capable enough to send Paku off to the afterlife without much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike Cuengi, Theo could finely control his strength. He hit Paku just hard enough to annoy him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo was annoyed, but he had questions to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Who hit me on the back of the head?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku, completely unaware of who had hit him, asked his companions in the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, the monsters pointed their fingers at Theo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that whoever struck Paku and returned to their spot in a blink of an eye was much stronger than Paku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Paku, being from the 59th floor of the tower, was no slouch either. The nearby threat seemed more intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?! It was you?! I told you to get lost…?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Theo was the one who had struck him, thanks to the other monsters, Paku started yelling at Theo…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…only to get smacked in the face by Theo’s paw, his head turning 90 degrees. This was no healing slap, but a real slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow?! How dare…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku, unable to see Theo’s movements, was stunned by the sudden pain on his face, realizing he’d been hit but before he could react…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap! Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo delivered a double slap to Paku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… do you know who I am…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo continued to slap Paku’s face as he made useless remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap! Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku ended up with dozens of blue paw marks on his face after being slapped by Theo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I failed to recognize someone so noble. I apologize! Please forgive me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku suddenly became polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your relationship with Skaram, meow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo, now that Paku was ready to talk, asked about Skaram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Theo was surprised seeing Paku. It was because Paku was a goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the goblin Paku reminded Theo of Skaram, who had deceived him. They felt similar somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Skaram? Of course, I know him. He’s my uncle! Ah, you know my uncle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo’s intuition was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo’s question brought a glimmer of hope to Paku, whose expression brightened and then darkened rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Oh no.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle was a low-quality swindler who was expelled from the village. Even his own family, like his grandmother and mother, would shudder at the mere mention of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Theo knew Uncle, it surely wasn’t for anything good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Theo, unable to exact his revenge because Kaiser immediately obliterated Skaram upon seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Skaram is your uncle, meow?! That’s great, meow! I owe Skaram a big favor from before; now it’s time to repay it, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo, who had a terrible past with Skaram, chuckled as he took out a contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurorong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slurp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, this is the taste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun, watching over the sleeping Cuengi, enjoyed his coffee and the carrot cake he had bought earlier, smiling contentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Tower’s Administrator says that the appraisal and taming of the item you entrusted is complete.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Aileen’s message, two items appeared in Sejun’s hand. They were the Holy Stone Piercing and the Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Aileen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Tower’s Administrator says you don’t have to thank for such small matters.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! Aileen, try this! It’s sweet and delicious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun took out carrot cake and carrot ice cream from the void storage and sent them to Aileen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it tasty? I’ve got…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Sejun was talking with Aileen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-You’re the Piercing Stone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-The Ice Cube Stone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Yeah. It’s me! Long time no see! How’ve you been? But who’s that person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Cube Stone asked, noticing the unusual aura of the Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-I am the Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Oh! A god, huh?! It’s an honor to meet you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-This is perfect! I’ve been looking for an opportunity to seize this human’s body, let’s join forces and take it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Cube Stone, whose effect from Iona was wearing off, suddenly made a surprising proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piercing Stone and the Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, were taken aback by the proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is my chance!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was inconvenient to have the Ice Cube Stone already beside Sejun…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Ice Cube Stone was harboring such malicious thoughts… it was a perfect opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Aileen~nim! Ice Cube Stone is harboring treacherous thoughts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Aileen~nim! Ice Cube Stone is planning a rebellion to seize Sejun~nim’s body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them simultaneously reported Ice Cube Stone to Aileen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Tower’s Administrator asks if they can examine the original holy stone you possess.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware of what was happening, Sejun handed over Ice Cube Stone to Aileen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Tower’s Administrator asks if they can return it later.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure. I don’t need it right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sejun agreed, Aileen began to crush and tame the Ice Cube Stone under her foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see what their options are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the conversation with Aileen, Sejun first examined the Piercing Stone that Aileen had appraised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Holy Stone Piercing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ A stone created when a star fell from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ If you supply magic power to the stone, it can pierce through any desired target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ Usage Restriction: Magic power 300 or higher\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can pierce through any desired target? Let’s test it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun took out a sweet potato, placed it on the table, made a gun shape with his hand, aimed at the sweet potato, and infused magic power into the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pshoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A finger-sized hole appeared in the sweet potato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! It works! Can it be thinner? Piercing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Sejun thought about making a thinner hole and infused magic into the stone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pshoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, a pen-sized hole appeared in the sweet potato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is fun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pshoo. Pshoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun took out a few more sweet potatoes, making holes of varying thickness, and played around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending some time making holes in the crops, Sejun picked up the Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, to inspect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ This is the heart of the God of Darkness, Dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ 99.99% of Dark’s power is sealed within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ When magic power is infused, it will bind to the owner’s shadow, increasing all stats by 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ It can summon the shadow minions of the God of Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ Usage Restriction: Magic power 300 or higher\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“99.99% of the power is sealed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant it almost had no ability left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fact that it still could increase all stats by 5 and summon shadow minions meant that this item was still incredibly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, it’s the heart of a god, after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun infused magic power into the Heart of Dark to bind it to his shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heart of Dark turned liquid-like and slipped through Sejun’s fingers, dropping to the ground,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slurp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before seeping into Sejun’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, has been successfully bound to Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s shadow.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All stats have increased by 5.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the successful binding, a message appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shadow minions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the heart successfully bound to his shadow, Sejun attempted to summon a shadow minion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the name, they seemed like beings that could labor or fight on behalf of their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe.
