Chapter 598: Oh. What is this?
TL: Hanguk
Black Tower, 99th Floor.
As dinner was nearing its end,
“Hahaha! Let’s make a toast for Sejun who worked hard!”
When Kaiser raised his glass and shouted,
“Sejun, good work!”
“Good work.”
“Thank you for making such a joyful time for us.”
The other leaders and the Great Black Dragons raised their glasses and expressed their gratitude to Sejun, who had worked hard to prepare for Christmas.
And then,[You have received great recognition from the leaders of the Nine Great Dragon Clans and the Great Black Dragons.]
[
[No matter how great the gap in status, the Great Dragons will not only refrain from looking down on you but will also hold a favorable opinion of you.]
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
“Hah. Dragon Race’s Useful Helper?”
What nonsense is this?
‘So, are you saying I wasn’t useful until now?! The dragons love my cooking so much! I even have dragon friends already!’
How slow is this system?!
Frustrated by the system’s anachronistic message, Sejun quickly dismissed it and raised his glass high with the other Great Dragons.
And then,
“To our Sejun!”
“To Sejun!”
Clink.
They all clinked their glasses together, downed their drinks in one go, and spent the remaining time either partying or saying goodbye to Sejun before leaving the Black Tower.
A little while later,
“Sejun, I’ll be leaving now.”
The Great Black Dragon, Rudion Pritani, also bid farewell to Sejun.
“Alright, Rudion. Take care.”
“Sejun, let’s meet again soon.”
“Of course. Rudion, take this.”
“Huh?! Sejun, this is?!”
“Hehehe. What are friends for? Just take it.”
Sejun secretly handed over 10 bottles of cherry wine to Rudion, his dragon friend who had been the first to ask to be friends.
After saying goodbye to Rudion and returning to his seat,
“Hohoho. Sejun, come here quickly. Where did you go?”
Except for the Four Dragons Council, Brachio and the other leaders were waiting for Sejun.
“Ah, I just went to say goodbye to Rudion. But, is there something going on...?”
Sejun cautiously asked, noticing the five leaders surrounding him.
“Muhahaha. Sejun, don’t be scared. We’re just here to make an important announcement to you.”
Kin answered.
“Huh? An important announcement?!”
I’m already scared, though?
Sejun, nervous at the mention of an ‘important announcement’, braced himself.
“Yes. Unlike those sneaky Four Dragons Council guys, we’ve decided to form the Five Dragons Council!”
Artemis spoke to Sejun.
The five leaders had decided to leave their dragon statues here and proposed merging with the Four Dragons Council to form the Nine Dragons Council, but were rejected. So, the five of them formed their own Five Dragons Council. rἈNȯΒËṥ
“Eh? Five Dragons Council?!”
That’s what you’re calling an important announcement?
Relieved that it wasn’t a big deal, Sejun let out a breath.
But why are they telling me about this?
He didn’t realize that he was recognized as the master of the Black Tower’s 99th floor by the Great Dragons.
When the Five Dragons Council finished speaking and returned to their seats,
“Ahem. Sejun, you know we came here first, right?”
“That’s right. And don’t forget how much we’ve helped you.”
This time, the dragons of the Four Dragons Council approached Sejun, reminding him of their shared history before finally returning to their own seats.
As time passed and midnight approached, the Great Dragons began to leave the 99th floor of the tower one by one. Sejun walked alongside Aileen, chatting as they strolled together.
Theo, Cuengi, and the Blackie Family tried to follow them thoughtlessly, but,
“Kyoot! Don’t disturb the two of them. Stay here and behave!”
Iona actively intervened, creating some alone time for Sejun and Aileen.
Iona, thank you. I’ll set up a date for you and Theo later.
Sejun silently made a deal with Iona.
And so, Sejun enjoyed a delightful date alone with Aileen.
For an hour, they talked without pause, but Sejun couldn’t quite remember the specifics of their conversation.
However...
“Aileen, wait for me. I’ll definitely become stronger.”
“Yes. I’ll wait.”
Sejun asked her to wait, and Aileen promised she would. Beneath the cold moonlight, they shared a kiss.
And then,
“Sejun, I’m going now.”
“Okay.”
[Blessing of Christmas has ended.]
Just before midnight, when the Blessing of Christmas ended, Aileen returned to the Administrator’s Area.
However,

“I should get to work too.”
Sejun, who watched until Theo and Cuengi were out of sight, also began to move to start his day.
Click.
Recently, Sejun had been busy preparing for Christmas, leaving the 10th Tower and
***
Black Tower, 75th Floor.
“Alright. Gorina, congratulations on becoming a manager!”
104.28.193.250
“Manager Gorina, congratulations on your promotion!”
“You’re amazing!”
Gorina, who had risen from an entry-level intern to a manager in Sejun Company within 300 days, was receiving everyone’s congratulations.
“Thank you, everyone!”
Thud! Thump! Thud! Thump!
Gorina responded by pounding her chest hard in appreciation of the other employees’ congratulations.
However,
Not enough! I need even bigger achievements to become the Vice Chairman of Sejun Company!
The manager position wasn’t enough to satisfy Gorina’s ambition. She had her eyes set on Theo’s position as Vice Chairman of Sejun Company.
My love, just wait a little longer! I, one of the three beauties of the Black Tower, will win you over!
Gorina, the daughter of the Gorilla Tribe’s chief, had fallen in love with Sejun at first sight when she saw him on the 77th floor of the tower. (TL: In ch 128)
Even after being punched by Cuengi, she didn’t give up. She left her homeland to join Sejun Company, working diligently as she eagerly awaited the day she could be by Sejun’s side.
Then one day,
“What?! Full-time employee communication network?”
Gorina caught wind of new information.
“Yes. Only full-time employees can use it, and it seems there’s all kinds of information about Chairman Park being shared there.”
Information about Sejun?!
‘I want to use the official employee network too! I want to know what time Sejun wakes up, what time he goes to bed, and what he eats!’
Gorina longed to gain access to the official employee network.
But becoming a full-time employee wasn’t easy.
You had to either target Sejun’s life or make Theo extremely angry.
Unlike normal standards, Sejun Company’s requirements for becoming a full-time employee were bizarrely difficult and required considerable “bad luck”.
‘How can I make Vice Chairman Theo angry?’
Gorina spent the entire day working hard while brainstorming ways to enrage Theo.
However,
[Manager Gorina’s Work Attitude: Excellent.]
She had no idea that her actions were actually pleasing the very person she needed to anger.
Puhuhut. Excellent work, meow!
Theo, secretly observing Gorina as she worked hard while scheming to upset him, found the irony amusing.
There was no greater irony than this.
If Theo had known she was targeting his position, he would have immediately promoted her to permanent full-time employee. But alas, Theo lacked the ability to read Gorina’s mind.
“Puhuhut. Gorina, since you’re working so well, there’s no need for you to work long hours, meow! I’ll suggest reducing your schedule to four days a week, meow!”
As a result, Gorina found herself drifting further and further from the full-time position she desired, and from Sejun as well.

“Hey, everyone. Hello.”
As Sejun stepped through the dimensional gate,
Kiki!
Kiki!
The Destruction Devourers greeted him warmly.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, great leader Blackie is here!]
Blackie began playing with his subordinates and the Destruction Devourers.
While Blackie and her family were busy having fun,
Plop Plop
Sejun planted seeds of the Destruction Devourers he had brought from the 10th Tower.
At that moment,
Plop.
A thick, red, sticky liquid blob fell from the sky.
It was a Tear of Destruction that had accidentally entered Jǫrmungandr’s body and leaked out through a gap devoid of Energy of Creation.
SloshSlosh
The Tear of Destruction, following its instincts, began to transform into the appearance of the closest being, Sejun.
PlopPlop
It started digging into the ground to create spots for planting seeds, mimicking Sejun’s original habits.
The Tear of Destruction was replicating the behavior of its main body perfectly.
“Oh. What’s this?”
Sejun’s eyes sparkled as he realized he had gained a new worker.
