Solo Farming In The Tower

“Phew…”

After hearing the shop owner’s words, merchant Zidin immediately went to the Wizard Association’s branch for a free appraisal.

“I should quit being a merchant.”

Zidin gave a bitter smile as he looked at the palm-sized item in his hand.

He hadn’t hoped for a huge windfall. He just thought it would be nice if he could recover the losses from this business trip…

‘Of all things, a cursed seed…’

The item Zidin had appraised was a seed of a plant called the Darkbloom.

As it grows, it attracts all sorts of dark and negative energies, making its surroundings gloomy and dark, hence the name Darkbloom.

Because it carried negative energy and nobody would eat it, there was a time when Darkblooms had overrun a floor of the tower…

The Black Dragon had nearly caused their extinction.

Since then, Darkbloom seeds were considered plants to be eradicated on sight, rendering them worthless.

‘Considering the effort to dispose of it, maybe I should pay someone to take it…’

The wizard had earnestly advised him to burn and dispose of the Darkbloom seed, so Zidin ended up keeping it because he couldn’t just throw it away.

‘Should I ask the blacksmith to burn it?’

As Zidin thought about going to the blacksmith,

Kking… Kking…

A pitiful whimpering sound came from beneath his feet.

When Zidin looked down following the sound,

“Oh? It’s a puppy?”

A dark navy colored puppy, with its pink tongue sticking out slightly, was lying on its back, showing its belly, and acting coy(?).

‘Cute.’

As Zidin squatted down to touch the puppy’s belly,

Snap.

“Huh?!”

Suddenly, the puppy got up, snatched the Darkbloom seed from his hand, and started running.

“Hey! Drop that!”

Zidin quickly chased after Fenrir to snatch back the Darkbloom seed.

***

Kking! Kking!

[Yes! I feel energized because I’m full!]

Fenrir ran, devouring the negative energy contained within the Darkbloom seed.

Thud. Thud.

Feeling energized, his legs became stronger, allowing him to run more vigorously than before.

“Puppy! Drop that, it’s dangerous!”

Despite Zidin chasing from behind,

Kking?! Kking!

‘Hmph! you think I’m going to get caught?! I am Fenrir, the First Seat among the Apostle of Destruction, !’

Fenrir, with movements honed from dodging people’s feet, nimbly avoided between the legs of passersby as he fled.

As Fenrir was diligently escaping,

Swoosh. Swoosh.

“…?!”

At some point, while moving quickly, he realized his feet weren’t touching the ground.

Kking?

[Why aren’t my feet touching the ground?]

When Fenrir was puzzled why his feet weren’t touching the ground,

Flap. Flap.

An annoying sound was heard.

Piyo!

[Theo~nim, I’ve caught Whiny!]

Piyot had grabbed Fenrir by the legs and was now flying.

Squeak! Squeak?!

‘Ugh…how humiliating! Caught by such a tiny thing again?!’

Fenrir was frustrated to be caught again by Piyot,

“Whiny, why are you wandering alone-meow?!”

Piyot arrived at Theo’s location.

Piyo!

[Theo~nim, here!]

As Piyot handed Fenrir over to Theo,

Snap.

Theo grabbed Fenrir’s scruff with his front paws.

Then,

Thud.

The Darkbloom seed Fenrir had been holding in his mouth dropped to the ground.

The seed, which was originally the size of a palm, had shrunk to the size of a fingernail after Fenrir absorbed all the negative energy.

“Whiny, what did you pick up to eat,meow? Eating just anything can cause big trouble,meow!”

As Theo was scolding Fenrir and about to pick up the seed,

“Huff! Huff! Are you…that…puppy’s…owner…?”

Zidin, who had followed Fenrir, asked Theo breathlessly.
