PvZ meets Solo Farming In The Tower. What to expect (and please read the reviews to know what kind of story you're signing up for) - 3 books complete - over 1000 pages to binge - Mature and logical MC who refuse to be devoured by vengeance - A garden full of war crimes - Untraditional progression through soft power (plants, alliances, etc) rather than numbers go up - Character driven story over fast-pace progression - Lovable cast of characters - Lore. Lots of lore regarding the dungeons and the civilizations that had fallen within it for you lorebrarians. - Slice of life (heavy) and found family (actual found family, MC had no gripes against his blood family) - Update on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday on 0:00 am GMT +7 (so 12am for you guys across the pond) “In a gold rush, the position of shovel vendors is reserved for the privileged.” That was a lesson Phong Tran had to learn the hard way. One year after the dungeon appeared, it had become a modern gold rush. People awakened classes, unlocked skills, and dove into the dungeon for its seemingly endless riches and resources. Phong, a level 1 Farmer with a dead EXP bar, naturally gravitated toward becoming a wandering vendor. While other people fought monsters, gained EXP, and became media heroes, he sold them socks, battery banks, and energy drinks. Phong existed in the space between glory and obscurity, until one day, a privileged bastard took everything from him. He was beaten half to death, and his aunt and uncle were “erased” for being inconvenient to those at the top. As if it had a cruel sense of humor, Phong received his first and only quest while lying in his sickbed: “Plant 10 potatoes.” No rewards. No promise of revenge. Just 10 potatoes sitting there, as if to mock his powerlessness. He took the quest. And now, he must conquer the dungeon with only 10 potatoes to his name.
