[[folder:Gray Builder Rabbits]]
!!Pimik the artisan, Pipik the wood craftsman, and Pirik the architect
[[quoteright:479:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/solo_farming_gray_rabbits.png]]

Enslaved, starved, and beaten by the evil Grid, three Gray Builder Rabbits could no longer withstand their mistreatment. They tried to abscond to the higher floors beyond the landlord's influence, but were hunted down by the pig's Coyote mercenary subordinates. Thankfully, Elka intervened and brought them to Sejun's farm before they could be recaptured or killed.
----
* ConstructionIsAwesome: They are naturally gifted at craftsmanship, and what they love best. The three can make just about anything if they put their minds together and have the necessary materials.
* TheEngineer: The Gray Rabbits build anything Sejun needs, which is greatly appreciated in the wild untamed 99th floor. Extremely grateful Sejun took them in, they later build a home for him, with a kitchen and food store.
* MadeASlave: Unable [[WarRefugees to escape]] in the beginning, and assumed to be dead by Wolgang and Wolha, they fell into Grid's clutches. The evil pig forced them to work the fields endlessly after a HordeOfAlienLocusts destroyed their home. Sejun noted by their appearance they had been beaten often.
* MistakenIdentity: Like Elka of the Wolf tribe, they mistook Sejun controlling the ferocious monsters of the 99th floor as a sign that ''[[GodInHumanForm he was]]'' The Great Black Dragon of the Black Tower. Sejun doesn't correct them, but requests they call him by [[FriendlyAddressPrivileges his birth name]].
* PatchworkKids: They're the surviving nephews and niece of the White Farmer couple, as the odd bit of white fur on the artisan's and architect's bodies shows they're related (their parents perished protecting them from the Forces of Destruction). The wood craftsman Gray rabbit inherited the most from the Gray tribe side of the family.
[[/folder]]



* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The Black Rabbits were all killed trying to defend their home against the Forces of Destruction embodying a HordeOfAlienLocusts. Having nowhere to go, the surviving White Farmer and Gray Builder rabbits were turned into slaves by Grid and his men, forcing them to work the fields. Sejun noted that Pimik, Pipik and Pirik who escaped were half-starved and had been beaten often.

* OpportunisticBastard: Grid has never let a good crisis go to waste. He easily conquered the 55th floor after the Red Ribbon Kingdom fell, and used mysterious famines to further his grip over the Black Tower's food supply. [[spoiler:The Boar has even collaborated with the White Dragons of the White Tower, who are feuding with Eileen's grandfather]].

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, turning them into slaves.

* {{Greed}}: A walking textbook example. Grid is utterly selfish, and more than happy to monopolize the distribution of food. He cares nothing if the monster of the Tower to suffer hardship and starve, so long as he can profit off their collective misery and gain more power. [[spoiler:Even in death, his remains soak up and horde any toxins of the people who eat his flesh, ''he was that greedy'']].

!!Landlord Grid, of the Wild Boar tribe
[[quoteright:901:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/solo_farming_grid.png]]

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, turning them into slaves.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Just about everyone in the Black Tower ''hates'' him, and for good reason. The Merchants guild and Wizard council have frequently voiced their concerns he is purposefully hoarding food, or raising the price of goods, during famines. These complaints fall on deaf ears. Faced with starvation, wandering Mercenaries like the Coyotes (and formerly the Gray Wolf Tribe) only obeyed him because they had no other choice.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: He is torn apart by [[TheDreaded Iona the hamster Wizard of Destruction]]. Thoroughly '''pissed off''' at the pig's latest failed attempt to kill her, she unleashes the rarely-seen 5th level of her anger. What can normally destroy an entire floor of the Black Tower, is localized entirely on ''him''. The evil monster is cut up into meat, and later given to Sejun as a gift (who mistook it as an item). His castle is utterly destroyed, allowing the Rabbits to take their home back.]]

The youngest dragon of
org/pmwiki/pub/images/farmer_rabbits_solo_farming.png]]

While living alone and lost in
the Pritani family, and Manager of Tower, two monster rabbits approached Sejun. Allured by the Black Tower that looms over Gangnam, Seoul. As GameMaster she oversees vegetable patch he was growing in the forceful summoning and promoting of humans cavern. After proving themselves, he allows them to play in her MarathonLevel gauntlet, with the real promise of treasures beyond stay. They lost their dreams if they complete her quests.[[spoiler: [[WarRefugees original home]] long ago]] so Sejun's cavern becomes a safe haven for them. The cute couple start up a family living with Sejun, becoming his loyal helpers and steadfast friends through thick and thin.



* AgeAppropriateAngst: She wants to have [[FantasticRomance a serious relationship]] with Sejun, and doesn't like being reminded she's young for a dragon, even one using magic [[PlotRelevantAgeUp to reach adolescence faster]]. A further cause of angst is her birthday falling on May 5th, which is ''Children's Day'' in Korea.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Eileen often threatened Sejun with ''death'', if he didn't hand over the magical produce of the cavern farm. Eventually he couldn't [[TheDogBitesBack tolerate this]], which shocked and flustered her. Park was eventually able to get her [[ReasoningWithGod to make reasonable requests]] and/or postpone quests.
* BadBoss: Zigzagged. Sejun was...little more than a slave to Eileen, [[TheUnchosenOne never chosen]] to play her game, but neither ever allowed [[TrappedInAnotherWorld to go home]]. She began many threats with no rewards, until there was only so much the overworked man could take, before he chews the dragon out for being "a terrible employer". The dragon [[HeelRealization is horrified]], yet struggles [[TheUnapologetic to apologize]] for her behaviour, though Sejun trolls her before she can follow-through. The death threats return. [[ReasoningWithGod She settles]] on less-demanding offerings, just as the farmer decides it's [[DoNotTauntCthulhu wise not to]] provoke what amounts to a PhysicalGod.
* TheBeastmaster: As GameMaster of the Tower, she commands every single monster on every single floor, making her TheDreaded to sapient races.
* BrownNoteBeing: Eileen is so powerful, even in her weakened state, that her mere presence can kill Sejun if she stays around him too long in her true form. One of the reasons she is learning [[VoluntaryShapeshifting to polymorph]] into a [[GodInHumanForm Human form]] is so she can get to know him on a face-to-face level. Even then, Eileen struggles to hold back her mana, which along with her stats as her health improves, [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale is off the scale]].
* CharacterDevelopment: She goes from being a selfish dragon, [[BadBoss antagonistic towards]] her farmer Sejun, to gradually softening up as the weeks go by. She stops threatening him with death as a punishment and [[AintTooProudToBeg starts begging]] playfully. Their relationship turns more amicable. Eileen gives out advice freely, and even presenting Park [[LethalChef with an elixir gift]] to commemorate the 200th day trapped in her Tower. As Sejun's magical crops grown for her give her a [[RegeneratingMana quality of life]] she thought she would never have, she in turn grows to love the man.
* CharacterSelectForcing: She decides after capturing a human which one of two FantasyCharacterClasses of Hunter they will have, whether they "awaken" as a magician or warrior, to play her game of climbing the Tower. Making Sejun her Tower Farmer was [[TakeAThirdOption taking a third option]].
* ChildProdigy: She holds the record for being the youngest dragon to ever polymorph, astonishing the other dragon clans and their children, who thought anyone younger than 600 years old transforming was impossible. Eileen cleverly attributes her development to Sejun's crops, which eagerly invites all her brethren to purchase from his store.
* ClingyJealousGirl: The Tower Manager flew into a tearful rage when she saw a screensaver of popular Korean singer Serang aka 'Moonlight Fairy' on Sejun's phone. As her doting grandfather [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Kaiser was watching]], the farmer had to think fast to avoid being blasted into the afterlife for upsetting her. The man explained he was only a fan, and never met her in person. The dragon mistakes "fan" for charity, when having no idea what human fashion is, assumed Serang's ripped jeans [[MistakenForDestitute meant she was a beggar]], and Sejun was merely helping her out of poverty, thus forgives him. Sejun wisely doesn't correct her error.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: The Pritani family have been collecting rare powerful items for millions of years. A single one of these artifacts would be worth ''trillions'' in Korean Won â‚©. Heartwarmingly, Eileen adds a common "Yeosan Washed Apples" shopping bag to the vault Sejun gave her, used to hold the dried sweet potatoes the dragon requested for dinner.
* CrystalBall: Sejun was unaware she sees ''everything'' that goes on in the Tower via her ball. Her [[TheWatcher intrusions of privacy]] irk him at best in [[UnwantedAssistance the beginning]], but accepts there's nothing he can do while he lives in her domain. Eileen watches Sejun's work with interest, often salivating at the freshly-grown magical produce.
* DestroyTheEvidence: For a time she considers killing Sejun for showing up to her Tower uninvited, then realizes after his unusual achievement, the man can be put to work as her Tower farmer, so spares him.
* DivineRanks: Eileen's young, and on the bottom of the totem pole of the dragons. Her grandfather [[UnderNewManagement put her in charge]] of his Black Tower hoping the mana-rich Manager's Floor would speed up her recovery. In turn, the dragons of the other towers generally outmatch the Black Dragons in stats and power, and they themselves were only left to rule the Towers to collect species across the universe, after the [[{{God}} God of Creation]] confronted the Forces of destruction, [[GodIsDead sacrificing himself]] in the process. As the story progresses, the Black Dragons become so absurdly overpowered by Sejun's PowerUpFood, the other Tower clans are struggling to remain competitive and not fall behind. The Black Tower itself grows and expands with the farmer's accomplishments, into a ''Giant'' Black Tower that can claim the planet it currently resides over as its 0th Floor, allowing monsters to visit Earth. Sejun's actions spread throughout all the Towers earning him praise from the dragons. Elieen [[SoProudOfYou couldn't be prouder of her hard-working farmer]].
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: In trying to save Sejun's life, who was drunk and foolishly about to consume [[GargleBlaster fiery dangerous wine]] from the Red Tower, she slaps him away from the beverage. As Park is so weak, this act alone nearly [[OneHitKill killed him]], if it weren't for her grandfather gifting Sejun with a magical protective scale beforehand.
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: As she vows to [[CharacterDevelopment later protect Sejun]], she chides him for finding and equipping items in the Tower that [[UnknownItemIdentification haven't been appraised yet]], and could be dangerous.
* FetchQuest: Eileen would force these onto Sejun to give over his magically enhanced crops, and in the beginning would threaten ''death'' as [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse punishment for refusing]]... until the man began rebelling against the black dragon for her BadBoss tendencies when she stopped offering any form of compensation for the tasks.
* GameMaster: Eileen Pritani is the ''Manager'' variety. No human has completed all 99 floors of her Tower, [[HopelessBossFight as the difficulty]] has forced guilds of hunters/adventurers to abort, before they even reach the 40th floor.
* GiantFlyer: She's a huge imposing dragon that can use a rapier sword as a cocktail stick, and she's the TheBabyOfTheBunch in the black dragon family.
* GodIsInept: Unlike her loving grandfather, Kaiser Pritani, who quickly [[LargeAndInCharge dispatches any threats]], Eileen is too weak to directly confront any problems the Tower encounters concerning the Forces of Destruction, and many inhabitants of the floors have suffered or had to flee to other neutral areas. She couldn't deal with the [[HordeOfAlienLocusts invading Red Locusts]] without Sejun's help.
* GodsHandsAreTied: In the LightNovel, the Black Dragon cannot break the rules to her own Tower game. When asked by Sejun why she can't just give him the Tower Coins as a reward, instead of LevelGrinding for them, she explains she won't have that kind of [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem absolute power]] until she's an adult - in three hundred years time. In the Manhwa, she treats him like a child that hasn't [[ProportionalAging come of age yet]], failing to think outside an immortal's lifespan.
* GooGooGodlike: At two hundred years, Eileen is still a child, and won't come of age for another three hundred. When she asks Sejun to wait for her to fulfil all her promises to him, he snaps back [[WeAreAsMayflies he'll be dead by then]], to which she falls silent.
* GrandparentFavoritism: Her grandfather dotes on her, but her father appears cold and distant, unable to handle the stress her mana-deficiency was putting him and the other dragons through.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Thanks to Sejun's hard work in unlocking achievements, the status of her Tower grows until it can claim Earth as its ''[[MinusWorld 0th Floor]]''. This means managers (and farmers) can visit the physical world where the Towers are currently residing, but at a very steep [[InsertPaymentToUse cost of Tower coins]] to generate a "safe zone" so their mana and strength don't kill regular [[{{Muggles}} unawakened people]]. Eileen really wants to visit Sejun's home, but due to her insane powers, the cost is so prohibitive she can't afford it for both farmer and her at once. Heartbroken, the dragon allows Sejun to visit his family in Korea without her, showing how much the once selfish PhysicalGod has come to [[CharacterDevelopment care for him]].
* InMysteriousWays: Many of her actions are more than just coincidence in benefitting Park. Her black hole summoning brought him up to [[KickedUpstairs the 99th floor]], into a cavern the kaiju monsters outside cannot easily access. The timing was also essential - a day before a Blue Moon eclipse ensured his plants would grow gigantic and avert starvation. She provides the Seed Store which draws in Theo the wandering merchant. On the 200th day of being trapped in her Black Tower, the leftovers [[LethalChef of her elixir gift]] was thrown into the cavern's spring, [[InstantFishKill killing a giant electric eel]] neither Sejun nor the rabbits [[RightUnderTheirNoses knew about]], and would've proved fatal.
* InterspeciesRomance: She becomes badly smitten for Sejun as the story progresses when she [[MistakenForRomance misreads his feelings]] for her, thinking he was proposing and her family consenting to that arrangement.
* LethalChef: The dragon is notoriously bad at cooking, even when copying Park's actions through her CrystalBall, her kebabs still tasted bitter making her spit them out. This angered her how a [[MugglesDoItBetter human could excel at]] anything better than a RealityWarper dragon. Some of her later meals turned into rank-C poisonous dishes. Eileen thoughtfully gave her farmer an elixir gift to commemorate his 200th day of being in her Tower. It was only thanks to a detoxifying onion, Park survived. Thanks to a breakdown in communication, she later thought Sejun left for the Green Tower to escape her cooking, tearfully [[PleaseDontLeaveMe begging him to come back]] to the Black Tower. Sejun is confused, then aghast as she promises to improve working on her meals.
* MarryForLove: As her love for Sejun blossoms over the story, she wants to marry the man someday. When Silver dragon Sylvia enamoured by the farmer's cooking proposes to marry Sejun, she's dragged away by Eileen who threatens to beat the living daylights out of her until she annuls. Sylvia refuses... until force-fed Eileen's [[LethalChef idea of cooking]] making her immediately relent.
* MissingMom: Her mother Elizabeth, disappeared when Eileen was a toddler (for a dragon) at 50 years old. She fought demonic entities attacking the planet Omid, before it got cut off from the Black Tower, leaving her stranded. She was pregnant and began to take on injuries until she was at death's door until Sejun and the Golden Bat came to her rescue. All were relieved. Elizabeth was nursed back to health and bore a son, whom Sejun christened Bongryong Ace Fritani. The young dragon dotes on Sejun and his cooking.
* NoSocialSkills: The dragon Tower Manager has family [[LonelyAtTheTop but no friends to speak of]], talks to herself, and [[{{Bookworm}} reads all day]] in her MageTower. The man picks up on this straight-away when renegotiating the terms of the quests.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She may not care about [[HumansAreInsects human affairs]], but she takes any accusation she's a terrible manager, very, ''very'' seriously.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: They act and behave more like [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]], showing up to Earth one day and materializing vast towers across the planet for [[InMysteriousWays their own purposes]]. What [[{{Magitek}} magic or technology]] the dragons possess is unclear. What's known for sure is, people are powerless to fight back. Those captured by them, can't escape their games without playing along to the rules. Items brought outside the Towers cannot be studied or reversed-engineered. Said towers [[MadeOfIndestructium cannot be destroyed]]. Some nations even tried detonating ''nuclear weapons'' to either get rid of their structures, or brute-force their way inside for the untold treasures within, but the explosions had no effect whatsoever on them. Money is no object to them. The rewards given out, already abundant in the lower levels, are likely ''immeasurable'' towards the top.
* PeopleZoo: The Pritani family, along with other Dragons of their own Towers, have been [[FantasticNatureReserve collecting races]] across the universe on doomed planets, about to be annihilated by the approaching [[CivilizationDestroyer Forces of Destruction]]. As Manager, Eileen has been overseeing the selecting and abducting of 'desirable' humans from Earth, for the past ten years. Due to her [[NoSocialSkills poor social skills]], Eileen hasn't made any friends with those she's made into adventurers to play her game, save for Sejun, who she comes to see as "extremely precious" to her.
* PetTheDog: With Kaiju bears romping around, minotaur armies, and swarms of killer poisonous bees, the end goal 99-floor Tower is virtually unbeatable. But Eileen isn't a sadistic GameMaster. The 1st floor has a training ground with no stakes, to prepare humans for the real dangers ahead. She allows people to go home if they win an [[PlotCoupon admittance ticket]] later, anyone in-over-their-depth at the challenge can escape back to Earth. The Tower Manager gives out Sejun various crop-tending and livestock keeping abilities along with a seed store, to improve his harvests. She even gave Sejun an elixir gift that would boost all his stats, though he [[LethalChef quickly regretted her kindness]].
* ThePowerOfFamily: Though Sejun was beneath their notice for a long time, and even disliked by Kaiser to begin with. The Pritani come to love him as their farmer, and son-in-law if Eileen is serious about marrying him someday. Golden dragon Raon made a disparaging comment about Park Se-jun's crops, which angered the Tower Manager's relative, Gaax who dueled him and beat him until he saw the power of the MiracleFood and apologized.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Eileen's 200 years old. Very young for a dragon, and is not considered to have come of age until they are 500. Her grandfather Kaiser is ''tens of thousands of years'' old. Her love for Sejun can be considered a surreal PrecociousCrush and she wants to mature faster to fulfill her promises to him.
* RegeneratingMana: She has a mana-deficiency her family are treating her for. While Eileen as an immortal can't die, she does feel pain and suffers from seizures. Her dragon heart hasn't beaten for ''two hundred years'' since she hatched. Sejun was a blessing in disguise, as the magic crops he grows, especially those enchanted by the Blue Moon eclipses, are rapidly healing her and her heart begins working. Ecstatic, she vows to protect Park from her Tower's dangers and [[HideTheEvidence her family discovering him]].
* SicklyChildGrewUpStrong: Thanks to Sejun's miracle foods, Eileen is able to overcome her mana-deficiency to grow more massive and healthy. The dragon loves him unequivocally for this, and vows to repay his kindness someday.
* SincerestFormOfFlattery: Park befriended the mother Giant Crimson bear and her cub, but the Silver Wolf tribe mistook this as a sign that ''[[GodInHumanForm he was]]'' The Great Black Dragon of the Tower. Sejun was about [[AGodIAmNot to correct them]], until Eileen found this all very entertaining, giving her farmer the quest to pretend to be her, to punish Elka and the Gray Wolves for attacking Theo. Park convincingly [[LargeHam pulls it off]], and she's delighted.
* StarCrossedLovers: When Sejun finally reciprocates Eileen's love for him, she realizes her [[BrownNoteBeing dangerous godly powers]] would kill him if they ever tried to have a more intimate relationship. The dragon has to try to find ways where they can create safe-zones to be together, even if its only for a few moments.
* StuckInTheDoorway: When she has a growth spurt due to eating Blue Moon infused food, she tries to leave her observation room to get a larger crystal ball to compensate for her new size... and promptly gets stuck in the door, because it was built around her previous size.
* {{Troll}}: She used to butt heads with Sejun often. The dragon taunted Sejun he'll be devoured by a [[KillerRabbit carnivorous poison honeybee]], despite already gifting the human with an [[ForgotAboutHisPowers affinity to nature]] weeks earlier.
* ThirdPersonPerson: How she often speaks via the SuddenGameInterface when communicating with Sejun.
* ThisIsMyHuman: Or better, ''This Is My Blunder'' concerning Park Sejun, and she tries to cover up her mistake from the Pritani family by making him a farmer on her floor. Eileen becomes increasingly possessive of the young man as the story progresses, and jealous of his attentions, when she's supposed to be supervising the other human players.
* TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: Human beings are less people and more [[TheChewToy like toys]] to her and other dragons of the Towers. She rewards them if they succeed her quests, but doesn't give a second thought if they fail, and end up getting killed by her countless legions of monsters.
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The 99th floor of the Black Tower is the final floor, one floor below [[MageTower her home]]. No human has ever conquered it. Earth's bravest most skilled guilds of hunters/adventurers have yet to manage to complete the ''37th floor'' at the time Sejun was consumed by her black hole singularity.

a travelling merchant who supposedly sells "rare items" in growth spurt]]:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eileen_older_solo_farming.png[[/labelnote]]]]

The youngest dragon of the Pritani family, and Manager of
the Black Tower. However, [[HonestJohnsDealership his deals are shady]], Tower that looms over Gangnam, Seoul. As GameMaster she oversees the forceful summoning and intentionally catch inexperienced first-time peddlers unawares.promoting of humans to play in her MarathonLevel gauntlet, with the real promise of treasures beyond their dreams if they complete her quests.



* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He's ultimately [[CessationOfExistence erased from existence]] by the Tower Manager's grandfather Kaiser Pritani, for his wickedness, and being a spy for the dragons of the White Tower. Though brutal, it's hard to feel any sympathy for him when we later see what he was doing to the poor Golden Bat in a WhiteVoidRoom.]]
* BadBoss: [[spoiler:Scaram's cruel abusive treatment of the Golden Bat makes him utterly contemptible, when the magical creature is forced to smuggle items from Earth, and kept alone and hungry in the [[WhiteVoidRoom Void Prison]].]]
* ConMan: He exploits naïve [[FunnyAnimal animal-folk]] merchants with everyday common household appliances from the human world. Said items were brought into the Black Tower when the Manager began abducting people to play her games, years ago. Most inhabitants of the Tower have no idea human-tech [[ItsAllJunk doesn't work]] without electricity, and [[CellPhonesAreUseless cannot be recharged]] by the Tower's {{Magitek}}. He swindled Theo out of almost all of his money in buying useless merchandise. He later managed [[spoiler:to dupe Theo's old hated Granier-village rival, Oren, out of all the money his father Izrael lent him during the Red Locust crisis.]]
* DidntSeeThatComing: Theo managed to not only make a profit, but outrank him in the merchant leaderboard (into the top 1000), baffling him, as he knew there was no way any merchant could've sold everyday junk for serious Tower coinage. Scaram is oblivious to the contract the pushover cat made with Sejun, the MiracleFood being sold, and can only vent his frustration.
* FalseFriend: Scaram manulpatively grooms Theo into thinking he's his friend out for his best interests and doing him a personal favor by tipping him off with information of a seed store customer on the [[spoiler:99th floor]]. In truth he's only out for himself in a [[TheSocialDarwinist competitive dog-eat-dog]] (or goblin-eat-cat) world.
* {{Jerkass}}: The goblin intended to not only bankrupt Theo, but trap the cat merchant in usury, by offering a [[LoanShark high-interest loan]] he couldn't refuse. Theo would spend the rest of his life slaving over a debt he could never repay. [[DidntSeeThatComing This evil scheme backfired]], as he did not account for the successful contract the cat made with farmer Sejun.
* MeaningfulName: His name is an obvious pun on 'scam', as he's a fraudster who deceives other sellers of their money for junk.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: Goblins are the mainstay threat between the 11th-20th floors of the Tower. Yet Scaram and his friends operate beyond those areas, have become traders instead of monster enemies. They appear civilized, well-dressed, and friendly; yet their business practices are dishonest and sordid.

Though brutal, it's hard AgeAppropriateAngst: She wants to feel any sympathy for him when we later see what he was doing to the poor Golden Bat in have [[FantasticRomance a WhiteVoidRoom.]]
* BadBoss: [[spoiler:Scaram's cruel abusive treatment of the Golden Bat makes him utterly contemptible, when the magical creature is forced to smuggle items from Earth, and kept alone and hungry in the [[WhiteVoidRoom Void Prison]].]]
* ConMan: He exploits naïve [[FunnyAnimal animal-folk]] merchants
serious relationship]] with everyday common household appliances from the human world. Said items were brought into the Black Tower when the Manager began abducting people to play her games, years ago. Most inhabitants of the Tower have no idea human-tech [[ItsAllJunk Sejun, and doesn't work]] without electricity, and [[CellPhonesAreUseless cannot be recharged]] by the Tower's {{Magitek}}. He swindled Theo out of almost all of his money in buying useless merchandise. He later managed [[spoiler:to dupe Theo's old hated Granier-village rival, Oren, out of all the money his father Izrael lent him during the Red Locust crisis.]]
* DidntSeeThatComing: Theo managed to not only make a profit, but outrank him in the merchant leaderboard (into the top 1000), baffling him, as he knew there was no way any merchant could've sold everyday junk for serious Tower coinage. Scaram is oblivious to the contract the pushover cat made with Sejun, the MiracleFood
like being sold, reminded she's young for a dragon, even one using magic [[PlotRelevantAgeUp to reach adolescence faster]]. A further cause of angst is her birthday falling on May 5th, which is ''Children's Day'' in Korea.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Eileen often threatened Sejun with ''death'', if he didn't hand over the magical produce of the cavern farm. Eventually he couldn't [[TheDogBitesBack tolerate this]], which shocked
and can only vent his frustration.flustered her. Park was eventually able to get her [[ReasoningWithGod to make reasonable requests]] and/or postpone quests.
* FalseFriend: Scaram manulpatively grooms Theo into thinking he's his friend BadBoss: Zigzagged. Sejun was...little more than a slave to Eileen, [[TheUnchosenOne never chosen]] to play her game, but neither ever allowed [[TrappedInAnotherWorld to go home]]. She began many threats with no rewards, until there was only so much the overworked man could take, before he chews the dragon out for being "a terrible employer". The dragon [[HeelRealization is horrified]], yet struggles [[TheUnapologetic to apologize]] for her behaviour, though Sejun trolls her before she can follow-through. The death threats return. [[ReasoningWithGod She settles]] on less-demanding offerings, just as the farmer decides it's [[DoNotTauntCthulhu wise not to]] provoke what amounts to a PhysicalGod.
* TheBeastmaster: As GameMaster of the Tower, she commands every single monster on every single floor, making her TheDreaded to sapient races.
* BrownNoteBeing: Eileen is so powerful, even in her weakened state, that her mere presence can kill Sejun if she stays around him too long in her true form. One of the reasons she is learning [[VoluntaryShapeshifting to polymorph]] into a [[GodInHumanForm Human form]] is so she can get to know him on a face-to-face level. Even then, Eileen struggles to hold back her mana, which along with her stats as her health improves, [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale is off the scale]].
* CharacterDevelopment: She goes from being a selfish dragon, [[BadBoss antagonistic towards]] her farmer Sejun, to gradually softening up as the weeks go by. She stops threatening him with death as a punishment and [[AintTooProudToBeg starts begging]] playfully. Their relationship turns more amicable. Eileen gives out advice freely, and even presenting Park [[LethalChef with an elixir gift]] to commemorate the 200th day trapped in her Tower. As Sejun's magical crops grown for her give her a [[RegeneratingMana quality of life]] she thought she would never have, she in turn grows to love the man.
* CharacterSelectForcing: She decides after capturing a human which one of two FantasyCharacterClasses of Hunter they will have, whether they "awaken" as a magician or warrior, to play her game of climbing the Tower. Making Sejun her Tower Farmer was [[TakeAThirdOption taking a third option]].
* ChildProdigy: She holds the record for being the youngest dragon to ever polymorph, astonishing the other dragon clans and their children, who thought anyone younger than 600 years old transforming was impossible. Eileen cleverly attributes her development to Sejun's crops, which eagerly invites all her brethren to purchase from
his store.
* ClingyJealousGirl: The Tower Manager flew into a tearful rage when she saw a screensaver of popular Korean singer Serang aka 'Moonlight Fairy' on Sejun's phone. As her doting grandfather [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Kaiser was watching]], the farmer had to think fast to avoid being blasted into the afterlife for upsetting her. The man explained he was only a fan, and never met her in person. The dragon mistakes "fan" for charity, when having no idea what human fashion is, assumed Serang's ripped jeans [[MistakenForDestitute meant she was a beggar]], and Sejun was merely helping her out of poverty, thus forgives him. Sejun wisely doesn't correct her error.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: The Pritani family have been collecting rare powerful items for millions of years. A single one of these artifacts would be worth ''trillions'' in Korean Won â‚©. Heartwarmingly, Eileen adds a common "Yeosan Washed Apples" shopping bag to the vault Sejun gave her, used to hold the dried sweet potatoes the dragon requested for dinner.
* CrystalBall: Sejun was unaware she sees ''everything'' that goes on in the Tower via her ball. Her [[TheWatcher intrusions of privacy]] irk him at
best interests and doing him a personal favor by tipping him off in [[UnwantedAssistance the beginning]], but accepts there's nothing he can do while he lives in her domain. Eileen watches Sejun's work with information of interest, often salivating at the freshly-grown magical produce.
* DestroyTheEvidence: For
a seed store customer time she considers killing Sejun for showing up to her Tower uninvited, then realizes after his unusual achievement, the man can be put to work as her Tower farmer, so spares him.
* DivineRanks: Eileen's young, and
on the [[spoiler:99th floor]]. bottom of the totem pole of the dragons. Her grandfather [[UnderNewManagement put her in charge]] of his Black Tower hoping the mana-rich Manager's Floor would speed up her recovery. In truth he's turn, the dragons of the other towers generally outmatch the Black Dragons in stats and power, and they themselves were only out for himself left to rule the Towers to collect species across the universe, after the [[{{God}} God of Creation]] confronted the Forces of destruction, [[GodIsDead sacrificing himself]] in a [[TheSocialDarwinist the process. As the story progresses, the Black Dragons become so absurdly overpowered by Sejun's PowerUpFood, the other Tower clans are struggling to remain competitive dog-eat-dog]] (or goblin-eat-cat) world.
* {{Jerkass}}:
and not fall behind. The goblin intended to not only bankrupt Theo, but trap Black Tower itself grows and expands with the cat merchant in usury, by offering farmer's accomplishments, into a [[LoanShark high-interest loan]] he ''Giant'' Black Tower that can claim the planet it currently resides over as its 0th Floor, allowing monsters to visit Earth. Sejun's actions spread throughout all the Towers earning him praise from the dragons. Elieen [[SoProudOfYou couldn't refuse. Theo be prouder of her hard-working farmer]].
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: In trying to save Sejun's life, who was drunk and foolishly about to consume [[GargleBlaster fiery dangerous wine]] from the Red Tower, she slaps him away from the beverage. As Park is so weak, this act alone nearly [[OneHitKill killed him]], if it weren't for her grandfather gifting Sejun with a magical protective scale beforehand.
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: As she vows to [[CharacterDevelopment later protect Sejun]], she chides him for finding and equipping items in the Tower that [[UnknownItemIdentification haven't been appraised yet]], and could be dangerous.
* FetchQuest: Eileen
would spend the rest of his life slaving force these onto Sejun to give over a debt he could never repay. [[DidntSeeThatComing This evil scheme backfired]], his magically enhanced crops, and in the beginning would threaten ''death'' as he did not account [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse punishment for refusing]]... until the man began rebelling against the black dragon for her BadBoss tendencies when she stopped offering any form of compensation for the successful contract tasks.
* GameMaster: Eileen Pritani is
the cat made ''Manager'' variety. No human has completed all 99 floors of her Tower, [[HopelessBossFight as the difficulty]] has forced guilds of hunters/adventurers to abort, before they even reach the 40th floor.
* GiantFlyer: She's a huge imposing dragon that can use a rapier sword as a cocktail stick, and she's the TheBabyOfTheBunch in the black dragon family.
* GodIsInept: Unlike her loving grandfather, Kaiser Pritani, who quickly [[LargeAndInCharge dispatches any threats]], Eileen is too weak to directly confront any problems the Tower encounters concerning the Forces of Destruction, and many inhabitants of the floors have suffered or had to flee to other neutral areas. She couldn't deal
with the [[HordeOfAlienLocusts invading Red Locusts]] without Sejun's help.
* GodsHandsAreTied: In the LightNovel, the Black Dragon cannot break the rules to her own Tower game. When asked by Sejun why she can't just give him the Tower Coins as a reward, instead of LevelGrinding for them, she explains she won't have that kind of [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem absolute power]] until she's an adult - in three hundred years time. In the Manhwa, she treats him like a child that hasn't [[ProportionalAging come of age yet]], failing to think outside an immortal's lifespan.
* GooGooGodlike: At two hundred years, Eileen is still a child, and won't come of age for another three hundred. When she asks Sejun to wait for her to fulfil all her promises to him, he snaps back [[WeAreAsMayflies he'll be dead by then]], to which she falls silent.
* GrandparentFavoritism: Her grandfather dotes on her, but her father appears cold and distant, unable to handle the stress her mana-deficiency was putting him and the other dragons through.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Thanks to Sejun's hard work in unlocking achievements, the status of her Tower grows until it can claim Earth as its ''[[MinusWorld 0th Floor]]''. This means managers (and farmers) can visit the physical world where the Towers are currently residing, but at a very steep [[InsertPaymentToUse cost of Tower coins]] to generate a "safe zone" so their mana and strength don't kill regular [[{{Muggles}} unawakened people]]. Eileen really wants to visit Sejun's home, but due to her insane powers, the cost is so prohibitive she can't afford it for both
farmer Sejun.
and her at once. Heartbroken, the dragon allows Sejun to visit his family in Korea without her, showing how much the once selfish PhysicalGod has come to [[CharacterDevelopment care for him]].
* MeaningfulName: His name InMysteriousWays: Many of her actions are more than just coincidence in benefitting Park. Her black hole summoning brought him up to [[KickedUpstairs the 99th floor]], into a cavern the kaiju monsters outside cannot easily access. The timing was also essential - a day before a Blue Moon eclipse ensured his plants would grow gigantic and avert starvation. She provides the Seed Store which draws in Theo the wandering merchant. On the 200th day of being trapped in her Black Tower, the leftovers [[LethalChef of her elixir gift]] was thrown into the cavern's spring, [[InstantFishKill killing a giant electric eel]] neither Sejun nor the rabbits [[RightUnderTheirNoses knew about]], and would've proved fatal.
* InterspeciesRomance: She becomes badly smitten for Sejun as the story progresses when she [[MistakenForRomance misreads his feelings]] for her, thinking he was proposing and her family consenting to that arrangement.
* LethalChef: The dragon
is notoriously bad at cooking, even when copying Park's actions through her CrystalBall, her kebabs still tasted bitter making her spit them out. This angered her how a [[MugglesDoItBetter human could excel at]] anything better than a RealityWarper dragon. Some of her later meals turned into rank-C poisonous dishes. Eileen thoughtfully gave her farmer an obvious pun elixir gift to commemorate his 200th day of being in her Tower. It was only thanks to a detoxifying onion, Park survived. Thanks to a breakdown in communication, she later thought Sejun left for the Green Tower to escape her cooking, tearfully [[PleaseDontLeaveMe begging him to come back]] to the Black Tower. Sejun is confused, then aghast as she promises to improve working on 'scam', as he's a fraudster her meals.
* MarryForLove: As her love for Sejun blossoms over the story, she wants to marry the man someday. When Silver dragon Sylvia enamoured by the farmer's cooking proposes to marry Sejun, she's dragged away by Eileen
who deceives other sellers threatens to beat the living daylights out of her until she annuls. Sylvia refuses... until force-fed Eileen's [[LethalChef idea of cooking]] making her immediately relent.
* MissingMom: Her mother Elizabeth, disappeared when Eileen was a toddler (for a dragon) at 50 years old. She fought demonic entities attacking the planet Omid, before it got cut off from the Black Tower, leaving her stranded. She was pregnant and began to take on injuries until she was at death's door until Sejun and the Golden Bat came to her rescue. All were relieved. Elizabeth was nursed back to health and bore a son, whom Sejun christened Bongryong Ace Fritani. The young dragon dotes on Sejun and his cooking.
* NoSocialSkills: The dragon Tower Manager has family [[LonelyAtTheTop but no friends to speak of]], talks to herself, and [[{{Bookworm}} reads all day]] in her MageTower. The man picks up on this straight-away when renegotiating the terms of the quests.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She may not care about [[HumansAreInsects human affairs]], but she takes any accusation she's a terrible manager, very, ''very'' seriously.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: They act and behave more like [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]], showing up to Earth one day and materializing vast towers across the planet for [[InMysteriousWays their own purposes]]. What [[{{Magitek}} magic or technology]] the dragons possess is unclear. What's known for sure is, people are powerless to fight back. Those captured by them, can't escape their games without playing along to the rules. Items brought outside the Towers cannot be studied or reversed-engineered. Said towers [[MadeOfIndestructium cannot be destroyed]]. Some nations even tried detonating ''nuclear weapons'' to either get rid
of their money structures, or brute-force their way inside for junk.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: Goblins
the untold treasures within, but the explosions had no effect whatsoever on them. Money is no object to them. The rewards given out, already abundant in the lower levels, are likely ''immeasurable'' towards the mainstay threat between top.
* PeopleZoo: The Pritani family, along with other Dragons of their own Towers, have been [[FantasticNatureReserve collecting races]] across
the 11th-20th floors universe on doomed planets, about to be annihilated by the approaching [[CivilizationDestroyer Forces of Destruction]]. As Manager, Eileen has been overseeing the selecting and abducting of 'desirable' humans from Earth, for the past ten years. Due to her [[NoSocialSkills poor social skills]], Eileen hasn't made any friends with those she's made into adventurers to play her game, save for Sejun, who she comes to see as "extremely precious" to her.
* PetTheDog: With Kaiju bears romping around, minotaur armies, and swarms of killer poisonous bees, the end goal 99-floor Tower is virtually unbeatable. But Eileen isn't a sadistic GameMaster. The 1st floor has a training ground with no stakes, to prepare humans for the real dangers ahead. She allows people to go home if they win an [[PlotCoupon admittance ticket]] later, anyone in-over-their-depth at the challenge can escape back to Earth. The Tower Manager gives out Sejun various crop-tending and livestock keeping abilities along with a seed store, to improve his harvests. She even gave Sejun an elixir gift that would boost all his stats, though he [[LethalChef quickly regretted her kindness]].
* ThePowerOfFamily: Though Sejun was beneath their notice for a long time, and even disliked by Kaiser to begin with. The Pritani come to love him as their farmer, and son-in-law if Eileen is serious about marrying him someday. Golden dragon Raon made a disparaging comment about Park Se-jun's crops, which angered the Tower Manager's relative, Gaax who dueled him and beat him until he saw the power of the MiracleFood and apologized.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Eileen's 200 years old. Very young for a dragon, and is not considered to have come of age until they are 500. Her grandfather Kaiser is ''tens of thousands of years'' old. Her love for Sejun can be considered a surreal PrecociousCrush and she wants to mature faster to fulfill her promises to him.
* RegeneratingMana: She has a mana-deficiency her family are treating her for. While Eileen as an immortal can't die, she does feel pain and suffers from seizures. Her dragon heart hasn't beaten for ''two hundred years'' since she hatched. Sejun was a blessing in disguise, as the magic crops he grows, especially those enchanted by the Blue Moon eclipses, are rapidly healing her and her heart begins working. Ecstatic, she vows to protect Park from her Tower's dangers and [[HideTheEvidence her family discovering him]].
* SicklyChildGrewUpStrong: Thanks to Sejun's miracle foods, Eileen is able to overcome her mana-deficiency to grow more massive and healthy. The dragon loves him unequivocally for this, and vows to repay his kindness someday.
* SincerestFormOfFlattery: Park befriended the mother Giant Crimson bear and her cub, but the Silver Wolf tribe mistook this as a sign that ''[[GodInHumanForm he was]]'' The Great Black Dragon
of the Tower. Yet Scaram Sejun was about [[AGodIAmNot to correct them]], until Eileen found this all very entertaining, giving her farmer the quest to pretend to be her, to punish Elka and his friends operate beyond those areas, the Gray Wolves for attacking Theo. Park convincingly [[LargeHam pulls it off]], and she's delighted.
* StarCrossedLovers: When Sejun finally reciprocates Eileen's love for him, she realizes her [[BrownNoteBeing dangerous godly powers]] would kill him if they ever tried to
have become traders instead of monster enemies. They appear civilized, well-dressed, a more intimate relationship. The dragon has to try to find ways where they can create safe-zones to be together, even if its only for a few moments.
* StuckInTheDoorway: When she has a growth spurt due to eating Blue Moon infused food, she tries to leave her observation room to get a larger crystal ball to compensate for her new size...
and friendly; promptly gets stuck in the door, because it was built around her previous size.
* {{Troll}}: She used to butt heads with Sejun often. The dragon taunted Sejun he'll be devoured by a [[KillerRabbit carnivorous poison honeybee]], despite already gifting the human with an [[ForgotAboutHisPowers affinity to nature]] weeks earlier.
* ThirdPersonPerson: How she often speaks via the SuddenGameInterface when communicating with Sejun.
* ThisIsMyHuman: Or better, ''This Is My Blunder'' concerning Park Sejun, and she tries to cover up her mistake from the Pritani family by making him a farmer on her floor. Eileen becomes increasingly possessive of the young man as the story progresses, and jealous of his attentions, when she's supposed to be supervising the other human players.
* TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: Human beings are less people and more [[TheChewToy like toys]] to her and other dragons of the Towers. She rewards them if they succeed her quests, but doesn't give a second thought if they fail, and end up getting killed by her countless legions of monsters.
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The 99th floor of the Black Tower is the final floor, one floor below [[MageTower her home]]. No human has ever conquered it. Earth's bravest most skilled guilds of hunters/adventurers have
yet their business practices are dishonest and sordid. to manage to complete the ''37th floor'' at the time Sejun was consumed by her black hole singularity.
