Spite Farming on the Final Floor
By @john1208
Zaltis Vorn was supposed to die. Shoved into a spatial rift by the treacherous Heralds of Zantari, he wakes up somewhere impossible: the mythical, uncleared Floor 100 of the Morvun Ziggurat. Too lazy to fight his way down, Zaltis decides on a cozier path to vengeance. He starts a farm. Aided by a terrifying corrosive slime behemoth that makes an excellent watering can, Zaltis begins cultivating glowing cabbages and bizarre carrots that permanently boost agility and eyesight. When his loyal best friend Juroq smuggles the crops to the surface, the outside world's economy shatters. Black markets erupt overnight just to trade his magical lettuce, bankrupting the Heralds while Zaltis collects legendary artifacts as rent from the local dungeon boss. But Zaltis's peaceful revenge is interrupted by a hidden countdown: the Ziggurat's core is degrading, and in exactly 365 days, it will detonate and erase the continent. Can a lazy farmer grow a solution without leaving his porch, or will his spiteful harvest be his last?
