I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 57

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 057

“It feels like a dream.”

“what?”

“We all play together like this here.”

I laughed and put one of the hardened fries into my mouth.

“What are you talking about? You must have gone to more fun places.”

“I did.”

Jin Jin-ra put down her beer glass and put her legs together and hugged her.

“But. Even if I enjoy a party with popular people in a nice hall or go to a noisy Gangnam club, something just feels empty. There are definitely a lot of people around. The friends I came with are also fun. Even while I was hanging out with those people, I suddenly thought, “Suddenly I felt, ‘Oh, I’m lonely.’”

“…….”

“Actually, I tend to get lonely a lot. That’s why I started SNS. I have to be on my phone all day to get rid of the loneliness that comes with it.”

I nodded silently.

“But this place… I don’t know. I just feel at ease! I just like this place and the people here! It’s warm and comfortable like family… hmm. Wow, I guess I’m drunk.”

Jeong Seo-jin quietly poured a beer and handed it to her.

“It’s better to drink it and forget about it. If you remember it tomorrow morning, it won’t end with you kicking off the blanket.”

“joy.”

She snatched the beer glass and drank it in one gulp. Jeong Seo-jin turned his gaze to me.

“I think if I get a little more drunk, I’ll tell you a lot of stories. Is that okay?”

“…Don’t do it. I can’t handle it if you both explode.”

Jeong Seo-jin laughed loudly. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that guy smile like this.

“Hmm, I think that’s the most special type.”

Jin Jin-ra put down her empty beer glass and continued.

“A third-generation chaebol? Even though he was pushed out in the battle to become the successor, he lives in a different world from us. Why are you working so desperately here?”

“That’s right.”

Jeong Seo-jin, who was fiddling with his beer glass, smiled faintly.

“Because I want to be recognized by those who live in that other world.”

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, Jinbo-ra cleared his throat.

“More than anything, the Magic Tower is a place I chose of my own will.”

Jeong Seo-jin’s eyes became cold.

“Time and time again, I have had to sit back and watch as my company was destroyed by my family. I want to change that fate this time.”

I could roughly understand what was going on.

I filled his glass with alcohol without saying a word.

“Oh, how are you, senior?”

Jin Jin-ra asked, cupping the flower with her hand.

This guy is really drunk.

“…Well, the biggest beneficiary is me, no matter what anyone says. If I hadn’t been chosen by the Magic Tower, I would still have been wandering at the bottom. I wonder what would have happened if I had been prudent and rejected Ea’s offer at that time… I can’t believe what happened before my eyes.”

“Oh my! Are you trying to refuse the magic tower lord’s offer?”

“At that time, what Ea was suggesting was a bit suspicious.”

“What did you say?”

Ea, who was quietly cleaning up behind her, made a flinching expression.

She looked at me with urgent eyes, but I was playful and imitated her.

“I don’t understand! Becoming the magic tower master who oversees the magic of a world is an honor that cannot be greater for a human being! What are you hesitating about?”

“……get on, top owner!”

“Hahahaha! Did you really do that?”

Noisy laughter erupted. Ea said, glaring at me calmly.

“……From now on, we will save all the dark history of the tower owner in the database.”

“Sorry sorry.”

Eunsol woke up, rubbing her eyes to the sound of our laughter.

“what’s the matter?”

“I’m sorry. Was it too noisy?”

“Let’s go to sleep now.”

Jin Jin-ra took Eun-sol to a room with a bed on the first floor. Jeong Seo-jin went up to the 2nd floor and I went up to the 9th floor.

“Tskchacha.”

I sat down in my chair and tilted my head. She appeared next to me with a swarm of Eaga Light, but she was still sulking and was looking away from me.

“Ah.”

“Yes, top owner.”

“Exio concert. I reserved tickets for a week later.”

She looked very surprised.

“Well, that was just something I said! There’s no need to waste your precious time to go see the tower owner…”

“Ah, what’s wrong? I like Exio too.”

She lowered her head. She hesitated and muttered something, but then she spoke quietly.

“Oh, good night.”

As I watched Ea quickly disappear, I couldn’t help but smile.

I guess it’s because the alcohol hasn’t gone away yet.

Everything was just happy.

* * *

After the quarterfinals against Hongyeon, it was no different from graduating from the academy. I didn’t go to class, and I was able to legitimately spend time at the Magic Tower without having to make excuses for going to the dungeon.

I am graduating from the academy that I have longed for, and I am a certified level 5 hunter that I have longed for.

There was a gut-wrenching sense of accomplishment.

But the truth is, these are things that I was naturally able to achieve when I became the owner of a magic tower.

My ambitions are bigger now.

We cannot be satisfied with just one professional hunter doing his job. While we’re at it, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to follow Ea’s words and conquer the world? I feel like I can accomplish anything if I have the Magic Tower.

It’s been a while since I overslept. Now that I am unemployed, I am lounging around on the golden sofa in the lobby on the first floor, tapping away at my smartphone.

I accessed Messenger and there were almost thousands of messages piled up. In many ways, this is a sight I have never seen before.

[This is Team Leader Choi Young of the River Guild. I watched the game with great interest. The only things our guild has to offer are passion, planning, and sales, but if you give us the opportunity, the River Guild… … .]

[Yoo-shin! Congratulations on your early graduation! The club kids are all crazy! Should we have a party?]

[Congratulations Yushin! Do you remember me? It’s Lim Yunji. I took the same class last year… … ]

[Student Kim Yu-shin. My name is Yunhyeon Lee, the professor in charge. Stop by my office around 6 tomorrow. Talk about job opportunities… … .]

[hello! Cheonho Management welcomes you… … .]

As I was writing down the message with an expressionless face, I stopped at a certain point.

[I heard you took the 4th round? Congrats on your graduation.]

A short congratulatory message from Han Yun-jeong. Actually, I was a little bothered that I graduated and left this guy alone.

I sent a reply right away.

[thanks. Did you see the game?]

[Of course I saw it. It really didn’t feel realistic.]

[What sense of reality?]

[That’s right. Is that person who is fighting on equal footing with Hong Yeon the same Kim Yu-shin who was whining with me just a few months ago? I was thinking something like that.]

I jokingly tried to write a reply but deleted it. And after writing and erasing it again three times, I finally sent it like this.

[You can do it too. really.]

[Thank you, at least for words.]

I thought for a moment and typed a message.

[Yoon Jeong-ah. Are you interested in working with me?]

[That’s it. I’m also busy with school work.]

You don’t even hear what’s going on.

Well, I thought Han Yun-jeong would reject it.

It’s not that I didn’t think about dragging her into the magic tower. However, whether viewed objectively or as a matter of equity, the current manager position cannot be given to Han Yun-jeong.

Even if she were given it, Han Yun-jeong would constantly compare herself to Seo-jin Jeong, Jin-ra Jin, and Eun-sol, who are all showing monstrous talent in their respective fields, and would fall into a swamp of self-destruction and misfortune.

Is that truly a happy path for Han Yun-jeong? That’s questionable.

[And thank you.]

[what?]

[Dungeon travel rights have been reorganized, so non-combat type kids can now go to hunting grounds. Is this what you did?]

… Anyway, I’m quick to notice.

[Enter the 1st rank dungeon starting tomorrow. I don’t give up. I will work hard to become a hunter.]

[Okay, cheer up. I will sincerely support you.]

I felt a little relieved.

This is how Han Yun-jeong is.

Han Yun-jeong in the Oeyu Naeyu lecture, and Hong Yeon in the Oeyu Naeyu lecture. I think about how great it would be if two people resembled each other just a little bit.

“I’m a senior-”

While I was lazing around on the sofa, I heard a voice calling me from next to me.

“What are you thinking, smiling so happily?”

It was Jin Jin-ra. She was wearing an apron and her hair was tied back. They must have already started making today’s quota, and there was something that looked like colorful pigments on their aprons.

“never mind.”

She pursed her lips and looked at me lying down on the sofa.

“I envy you because you look so carefree, our Kim Hunter.”

“You’re asking for help, right?”

“Oh, no? I can do it alone!”

Without saying a word, I put on an extra apron and went to the pot with her.

“What should I do first?”

“Oh my, you don’t have to intentionally help me. Then, could you please put the liquid spores in there first?”

Anyway.

First of all, I also have the ‘Potion Preparation’ trait, so I would assist her whenever I had time.

“Where are you booking this time?”

“This is Kalos Guild. This is an order for 30 bottles of cold resistance potion.”

“Wow, looks like it’s going to be a cold dungeon.”

We skillfully worked together to create the potion.

“Tsk!”

After pouring the ingredients into the pot, Jin Jin-ra grabbed a ladle as tall as herself and started stirring the contents.

“Take a break. I’ll do the stirring.”

“Yes? Oh, it’s really okay!”

“Not even if I did it.”

I took Jin Jin-ra’s ladle away and stirred the contents in the pot myself.

She had a troubled expression, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she was in a bad mood.

“Where are you sitting and resting?”

“Mr. Ui, how can I sit when my superiors are working and it’s uncomfortable!”

She said and naturally walked back and sat down on the sofa.

“…….”

It’s been almost a month since I worked together with Jin Jin-ra, but I still feel like she’s an unpredictable person.

Sensing my gaze, she suddenly struck a pose with her legs stretched out, her left leg brought together, and her arms wrapped around it.

“…What are you doing?”

“What do you think? A sexy pose that makes your legs look long.”

She showed me various poses as if she was at a fashion show. Pretending to be fatal to her self, she puts one hand on her waist and shouts ‘Yoo-hoo!’ She made a sound like that, but I don’t know if it was fatal and she just looked cute at best.

“Why are you acting so crazy all of a sudden?”

“I can’t just sit still while my senior is working! I need to give him some eye candy! Don’t you feel energized?”

“Get some psychiatric counseling somewhere nearby.”

“too bad!”

Dealing with female college students who needed attention was tiring in many ways.

Is this how it feels to have an immature younger sister? Still, these days, she looks cute in her own way, perhaps because she’s adapted to her 4th dimension.

“Ah, come to think of it, senior!”

“why?”

“If you become a certified hunter, will you join the guild? But you can only become stronger if you continue hunting.”

“I’m still thinking about it, but I’m thinking about management that can suit my schedule.”

Hunters usually have three affiliations.

Association.

Guild.

Management.

Simply put, the Hunter Association is public officials and hunters who fight for the public interest.

Of course, he has the lowest income among the three, but he has the strongest power and authority. Since you get a pension, there is no need to fry chicken after retirement.

Next is the guild. Most hunters go here because they can earn the most money.

In addition to a huge down payment, you can receive support for everything from dungeon catching to your style, schedule management, professional training, hunting device production and legal advice, tax services, and transportation.

However, there is a disadvantage of having to live a life controlled by a guild.

Lastly, management is where hunters who want to operate freely sign contracts.

It is convenient to think of it as a kind of freelance concept, outsourcing complex procedures such as dungeon catching and non-combat aspects to a specialized company.

Unlike guilds, where team members live together and work strictly as a team, hunters under management form a team with other hunters when they arrive at their assigned dungeon.

In fact, when you are a licensed player, you spend a lot of time playing solo like this, and this pattern has become so established that many people stick to this method even after they become pros.

If the guild is a team, the manager feels like a mercenary.

‘Hmm, then which would be better?’
