47
After transforming Am Wol into the shape of a shovel.
Woo Jin had been descending from Tower Floor 90, progressively expanding the space around him at a brisk pace.
“Soil Leveling, Soil Leveling!”
Thump-thump-thump!
[Your Proficiency in Soil Leveling Lv. 6 has increased slightly.]
[Your Proficiency in Soil Leveling Lv. 6 has…….]
[You have acquired Soil Leveling Lv. 7.]
Those who labor diligently deserve their reward!
— Kekeke! Dark Magic Power, flow to me!
That sentiment applied equally to Woo Jin and to Am Wol.
Woo Jin was pleased because he could raise his Soil Leveling skill proficiency, and Am Wol was pleased because she could absorb the faint Dark Magic Power scattered throughout the corridor.
A win for the sister, a win for the brother-in-law.
“Am Wol. Stop for a moment.”
— Hm? What’s wrong?
It was possible that the master, despite appearances, possessed sharp senses and had detected some sign of an enemy nearby—or something like that.
Though Am Wol had not felt any presence until now, just to be safe, she unfurled her Energy Sensing and swept the entire area, but sensed nothing except Kkamangi and the Doppelgänger on Tower Floor 99 connected to the corridor.
— There’s no one here?
“Phew. What do you mean? Let’s just rest for a bit.”
When they had descended to Floor 86.
Woo Jin pulled a homemade stamina potion from his Subspace Backpack.
[Carrot Juice]
– Grade: C
– Effects
– Taste Bonus +20%
– Permanently increases Stamina by +0.01 upon consumption
– Increases Stamina Recovery Speed by +10% for 30 minutes upon consumption
– Description: A juice made by grinding the Tower’s vitality carrots. Drinking it will increase your stamina recovery speed for a period of time, and you’ll feel like your stamina is rising.
The carrot juice he had poured into an empty stamina potion bottle.
He uncapped it and gulped down the Carrot Juice.
Because he’d chilled it in lake water and preserved it in the backpack, he was able to drink it refreshingly cold.
“Ahhh.”
[Your Stamina permanently increases by 0.01 from consuming Carrot Juice.]
[Your Stamina Recovery Speed increases by 10% for 30 minutes.]
One might think a mere 10% was nothing, but a recovery speed increase for stamina or magical power wasn’t simply a 10% numerical difference.
It was comparable to the difference between taking a one-hour power nap when you’re utterly exhausted and not taking one at all. Of course, there was some placebo effect mixed in, but to Woo Jin’s perception, a 10% increase in stamina recovery speed made an enormous difference.
“Okay. Let’s get back to work.”
Woo Jin, who had been sitting at the edge of the corridor, rose lightly, grabbed the Am Wol shovel, and resumed the corridor expansion work.
Thunk-thunk-thunk!
.
.
.
Thud!
“Good grief. This’ll be the death of me.”
Even after the Carrot Juice, he couldn’t go on any longer.
His stomach was beginning to growl a little, which meant it was about time for dinner.
Whoosh.
A glance at his smartphone showed it was already pushing five in the afternoon.
[80]
He noticed the number 80 written on the Administrator door.
The Tower awarded Rewards every ten floors—what prize did Floor 80 offer?
Tap.
He placed the Teleportation Ring on the ground.
This was the one connected to the Dragon Rare on Floor 99.
Woo Jin thrust his face through.
Kkamangi was curled up in a ball, adopting the posture of toasted bread.
“…meow. The land of treats, meow.”
This little furball.
He was munching treats even in his dreams.
Woo Jin gave Kkamangi a playful tap on the rear.
“Kkamangi. Wake up.”
“Mew-mew-meow?!”
Kkamangi jolted awake, swallowing the drool pooling at the corners of his mouth.
“Is it dinner time?”
“Good grief. With an appetite like that, how did you even survive on dry kibble all this time? Anyway, open the door to Floor 80 for me.”
Woo Jin and Kkamangi arrived at the corridor before Floor 80 via the Teleportation Ring.
“When did you finish all this work?”
“I’ve been at it all along. Just open it.”
“Sure thing.”
Kkamangi no longer showed any hesitation about using the Administrator Key. Woo Jin stepped back from the door and watched as the cat used it.
Click.
[Using Administrator Key to open Tower Floor 80 Administrator Gate.]
The door to Floor 80 swung open.
The view was barely different from Floor 90.
A dark plaza sealed off on all sides.
‘What’s this?’
The difference was that Floor 80 had an enormous Wishing Stone floating in its center.
But this floor had something else—a pool-like structure on the ground, roughly one meter by one meter in size.
It was hard to describe.
It looked as if that area alone were paved with ‘different tiles.’
When Woo Jin glanced at Kkamangi, the cat nodded and immediately pulled out the Administrator Manual.
Whoosh!
[Floor 80 Objective]
– Catch fish in the sea (0/1)
[Floor 80 Information]
– A marvel of nature itself, the Continental Sea is home to countless marine creatures that live and breathe.
– From tiny minnows to colossal whales!
– And perhaps even creatures beyond your imagination!
– Challenge yourself at fishing. And catch a fish!
– When you catch a fish, we will grant you a reward.
– The larger and more powerful the catch, the greater the reward awaiting you.
– However, you have only one chance.
From the description, it seemed that the pool-like structure must be the sea.
Floor 80 was utterly silent—no sign of any creature. Woo Jin made no effort to use stealth or concealment skills.
After all, this was a reward floor; there shouldn’t be any enemies.
Footfall.
He stood before the sea.
On the shimmering surface, Woo Jin and Kkamangi could see their own reflections.
Woo Jin drew a deep breath.
Then he plunged his face into the water.
‘Wow!’
A vast underwater seascape unfurled before him.
From the outside, it had seemed nothing more than a tiny pond.
But from within, it revealed itself as a boundless ocean—a beautiful world of water and life.
Like something from a nature documentary.
One could almost say it was half water, half fish.
Aside from fish, the seafloor was scattered with coral, seaweed, sea cucumbers, sea squirts, crabs, and shrimp.
‘Gasp! What is that?’
He’d thought it was just a darker patch, but it turned out to be an enormous fish. Woo Jin quickly lifted his head and withdrew his face.
“I get the idea now.”
Fishing, though.
Woo Jin had tried fishing a few times as a child.
He’d never taken it up seriously—he’d only tagged along on chartered fishing trips a handful of times.
“Alright. Shall we give it a shot? They’re giving rewards for fishing, right?”
Tap-tap.
Kkamangi pressed his front paws against Woo Jin’s thigh.
“What?”
“You forgot, didn’t you? You can’t receive rewards.”
“…Oh.”
He’d momentarily forgotten about that.
Rewards given in ten-floor increments.
That required the system’s permission.
For Woo Jin to receive the reward from Tower Floor 80, he had to clear Floor 79 and reach Floor 80, and his status window had to display “Floor 80.”
But Woo Jin was on Floor 99.
In other words, he couldn’t receive any rewards.
It meant there was no point in fishing.
“And I see here they give out a special Fishing Rod, so it looks like you’d need to fish with that. Of course, Woo Jin can’t receive the Fishing Rod either, meow.”
“Can’t be helped.”
To Kkamangi’s eyes, Woo Jin seemed to show disappointment. But Woo Jin’s mind was occupied with something else.
‘How is there a sea right beneath this floor?’
Woo Jin didn’t know the Tower’s structure completely.
But to see the vast Continental Sea spread out directly beneath the stone floor was nothing short of miraculous.
Woo Jin couldn’t contain his curiosity and stepped closer. Then he switched Am Wol to dagger form and sliced at the stone floor.
To his surprise, the floor came away with a sharp crack, and he obtained a ring.
[Teleportation Ring]
– Grade: S
– Effect: Creates a doorway that enables Teleportation.
– Description: Install the ring to warp distance and create a doorway for instantaneous travel. However, travel between different dimensions where physical movement is impossible is not allowed.
“…Huh?”
When he placed the ring back on the floor, a small pond-like aperture appeared again. Woo Jin realized this Teleportation Ring connected to the Continental Sea.
“That was a Teleportation Ring?!”
“Seems like it.”
Woo Jin looked at Kkamangi.
“Can I take this with me?”
Pop!
He consulted the Manual.
But nowhere in it was there a rule stating that Adventurers couldn’t remove a Teleportation Ring installed on a stage and carry it away.
Whoosh.
[The Teleportation Ring has been stored in your Subspace Backpack.]
That was when it happened.
[The God of Fate looks at the God of Order and asks if that’s really allowed.]
“…Ah. Should I put it back?”
Woo Jin withdrew the Teleportation Ring from his Subspace Backpack once more.
[The God of Order says, what’s wrong with it?]
[The God of Fate looks taken aback and offers the opinion that it appears to be an act that violates the Tower’s rules.]
[The God of Adventure, having eaten Woo Jin’s meals, shrugs and says there’s no need to be so fussy about it.]
[The God of Order says that since Woo Jin obtained the item using legitimate methods and means available within the Tower, it does not constitute a violation of the rules.]
[The God of Dominion looks at the God of Order as if dumbfounded, then loses interest.]
[The God of Adventure chuckles and praises the God of Order, saying that’s what he’d expect.]
“So… you’re saying I can keep it?”
[The God of Order nods with a benevolent smile.]
Woo Jin stored the Teleportation Ring in his Subspace Backpack once more and bowed deeply toward where the sky was.
“Thank you.”

“Back we go.”
Woo Jin returned to Dragon Rare and laid down the Teleportation Ring that connected to the sea.
He’d initially thought about installing it beside the lake.
But deciding it was better to keep it separate from the water he used for drinking, watering crops, and washing, he installed it on the opposite side instead.
“Yes. This is perfect.”
Woo Jin peered into the sea once more.
To confirm it was still properly connected to the ocean.
The view was exactly as it had been on Floor 80.
A beautiful underwater world where countless marine creatures lived and breathed.
Gurgle.
A sound came from his belly.
The time was 5 p.m.
It was nearly time to prepare dinner.
“…Hmm.”
Woo Jin gazed out at the Sea.
