Expanded entries for All Crimes Are Equal and Inspector Oblivious in Jeras' folder, to make them more clear how those tropes fit the character.


* AllCrimesAreEqual: One of his missions given by his superiors was to investigate stolen items from Landlord Grid's warehouse on the 55th floor. Jeras makes no secret that he ''despises'' Grid, who is infamous as a wicked boar that [[spoiler:exploited and mistreated rabbit tenant farmers, formerly of the Red Ribbon Kingdom after the plague of Locusts destroyed it]].

* InspectorOblivious: Jeras doesn't know how Scaram is smuggling human junk appliances in the Tower, or how Theo became an overnight-success selling crops to human hunters on the 38th Floor. Theo's poor-timing of trying to help Jeras avoid being scammed by the goblin, thereby messing up the undercover operation briefly puts the gullible cat [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished under scrutiny]].

Theo's poor-timing of trying to help Jeras avoid being scammed by the goblin, thereby messing up the undercover operation briefly puts the gullible cat [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished under scrutiny]]. This in turn puts Jeras in place to rescue Theo from Elka and the other mercenaries who were hired by Grid to [[spoiler:retrieve a straw hat (which was actually an artifact level item) that had been stolen from Grid)]], thwarting his plans and putting into motion events that would [[spoiler:bring the silver wolves under the employ of Sejun, rescuing them from the ignoble service under Grid]].

* MiracleFood: As a Tower Farmer, Sejun specializes in growing magically imbued crops that have various effects depending on his rank and the crops in question. For example, one of his earliest crops is the cherry tomato, which provides a minor temporary buff to mana and (most noteworthy to most humans) breaks down a significant amount of fat when eaten, making it a popular diet food both in and out of the Tower.



* PunyEarthlings: He's so weak and low in {{Mana}} he fainted and passed out for days at the mere sight of The Tower Manager flying overhead. This is justified later in [[spoiler: when its revealed Earth is among the very weakest worlds in the universe, so naturally humans would be frail. When the Black Tower connects to the planet Hamk [[RodentsOfUnusualSize with giant hamsters]], they are ''seven times more powerful'' than people (though even they are no match for the [[AlwaysABiggerFish monster bears from the 70th floor]] defending the human hunters)]].
* ReasoningWithGod: After so many [[BadBoss death-threats]] from the Tower Manager, Sejun could no longer put up with her behaviour and began refusing her [[FetchQuest Fetch Quests]]. Eventually she conceded to fairer terms and the option to postpone missions without any consequence.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Upon reaching Rank C as a Tower Farmer, Sejun gains the Friend of Nature skill, which allows him to communicate with animals and plants more clearly. This includes the monsters like the White Farming Rabbits and the Giant Crimson Bears, who previously could only make noises and required Theo to properly translate anything beyond general intention without gestures, but now Sejun could understand and communicate with them perfectly, much to the delight of all involved.

[[folder:Minotaur King]]

to:

[[folder:Minotaur King]]King & The Black Minotaurs]]



Uma is the ruler of all minotaurs, and the Boss monster of the floor where Sejun is trapped on. As this is the 99th floor of the Black Tower, this makes him the FinalBoss for any hunters who seek wealth and fortunes beyond their wildest dreams.

As this is the 99th floor of the Black Tower, this makes him the FinalBoss for any hunters who seek wealth and fortunes beyond their wildest dreams.



* PortalNetwork: Unless a dragon reassigns and teleports him elsewhere, he's [[GateGuardian bound to the waypoint]] of the floor that he rules as Boss over. [[spoiler:Sejun [[TeleportationWithDrawbacks realized his error]] in saving at his waypoint [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe without needing to defeat him]] - there's no floor above, he can't go to the Manager's area, or return to the 1st floor where the exit for Earth is located. Sejun [[UnwinnableByMistake is hopelessly trapped]] on his floor. Fortunately, he is able to find a loophole, when Theo begins securing [[WarpWhistle land title deeds to farms of other floors]], then befriending the resident bosses there to use their waypoints to return to 99th floor when required.]]

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The black minotaurs of the 99th floor pride themselves on their honor as much as on their strength, and the Minotaur King has to be the strongest and most honorable. He's thus somewhat ashamed when he winds up [[spoiler:stealing a punch of green onion leaves from Sejun's field to feed his people]]. In the King's defense, the minotaurs (including the King) had been eating mud for so long that he [[spoiler:briefly became delirious when he saw the small mountain of delicious leaves, barely registering that anyone else was there (including the ''colossal Red Fur'') with his focus on taking the pile back to his starving people]]. The King did plan to go back to pay for the crops the next opportunity he got to leave [[GateGuardian the waypoint]], even before [[spoiler:Sejun showed up to demand payment, though he still got [[BerserkButton pissed]] when Sejun outrighted accused him of theft]].

* EvolutionPowerUp: When the baby yellow rabbits grow into their adult forms, they each gain a magical tool or weapon to help with their intended role. White rabbits get a farming tool, black rabbits get a weapon, and grey rabbits get a tool for craftsmanship. These tools can also evolve ''again'' to improve their usefulness if their user levels up (e.g. the water capacity in a watering can may double, such as what happens when the White Farmer father's watering can evolved).



* PatchworkKids: All except [[ADogNamedDog Black Rabbit]] are White farmer rabbits (but you'll notice the odd bit of black fur on their bodies, inherited from their mother, whose parent or grandparent was a Black warrior rabbit. The rabbit couple also have Gray Builder rabbits for nephews and nieces.

* UtilityWeapon: The rabbits with the most weapon-like tools (namely the sickle-using rabbit) often use for more mundane purposes, besides simply helping with the farm (which is the tool's intended purpose to begin with). These include food preparations and, in at least one instance, giving haircuts to the other rabbits.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's a [[ToBeLawfulOrGood lawful good fox]] who has the power to strip someone of their status as a merchant, including all their privileges and skills that go with it. This leaves them unable to do business again, vulnerable to monsters, and unable to travel between floors in the Tower.

He doesn't use this authority on suspicion alone, only when he has undeniable proof that said merchant is a criminal (otherwise, Grid would have likely lost his merchant status ''long'' ago).



* AmazonianBeauty: The females are every bit as strong as the males. Ox Number 4 is far stronger than Number 3 who has a crush on her, and is reputedly second only to Uma. She will kick the ass of anyone who is disrespectful to Sejun.

!!Landlord Grid, Grid/Greede, of the Wild Boar tribe



An evil and supremely greedy monster who commands the Wild Boar tribe. When the Rabbit tribe were being massacred by the Forces of Destruction invading the Black Tower 100 years ago, Grid used the opportunity to take over. He built a huge castle on the 55th floor over the former Red Ribbon Kingdom, and has exploited the survivors, [[MadeASlave turning them into slaves]].

* DelicateAndSickly: Part way through the story, it's revealed that Eileen was the dragon version of this, suffering from mana deficiency that stunted her growth and threatened her life (apparently it had been about 10 years since ''her heart even beat properly'', with seizures being a real risk), kept alive with aid from her grandfather. Her family gave her the position of Black Tower Manager in the hopes that the mana that could be earned from it would be enough to keep her stable while they searched for a suitable medicine. Fortunately, it turned out the crops Sejun offered to her had enough mana within them that she started getting healthier after eating them. In particular, eating the extremely mana-rich blue moon crops was enough to cause Eileen to [[SicklyChildGrewUpStrong have a massive growth spurt]].

* TheAce: Zigzagged. Barring one exception who was cursed ([[spoiler:his mentor]]) and had to retreat, Kim Dong-sik is considered the strongest hunter of the strongest guild of human warriors and magicians. He can easily down most monster threats without breaking a sweat. Unfortunately, in the grand scheme this makes Kim Dong-sik a NormalFishInATinyPond at best - the monsters keep getting stronger and more lethal from here on out as he progresses further up the floors.
