Rifts had always been a pain in the ass.
Even with perks like monster meat as food—aka beast meat—and spirit orbs, the downsides far outweighed them.
"Above all, the fact that you can't destroy rifts was the biggest issue."
Rifts were indestructible.
That was common knowledge.
"No, you can destroy them."
Rifts were living beings, after all.
From their reaction when I used chemical weapons before, there was definitely a way to smash them.
But before that, priority one was prepping for the massive rift wave bearing down on Rondel Village.
"If only I could just build a mob tower and call it a day."
In games, there's this thing called a mob tower.
You set up an artificial environment where monsters spawn, then auto-kill them the second they pop out.
It's like a factory that farms the exp and loot they drop.
"But how do I even build one?"
Usually, you build high up and let them splat on fall damage.
But this rift was right on the ground.
No way to artificially reposition it, so I couldn't just lift it up.
"Guess I gotta scour the shop again?"
The shop had every bit of modern tech packed in.
If you think, "Do they sell this?"—bam, they do.
Even shit where you're like, "They sell THAT?"
The solution to this was probably in there too.
But I decided on a slightly different approach.
- Fuck, jobs were already scarce here [3]
- What the hell do I eat now lol sigh [6]
- Life's bittersweet lol [12]
"This is it."
Looking at the posts from Rondel locals in the gallery, I closed the shop window instead.
"Rift repositioning impossible?"
Then just dig a deep hole underground and flip the ground into the sky.
Where there's a will, there's a way—even mountains can be moved.
Proven by ancient Egyptians and Korean soldiers.
"Ground to sky, sky to space."
Endless tribal skirmishes.
Time to create some massive employment.

Adrian was poor.
And the outskirts of Rondel? Dirt fucking poor.
People were born in Rondel, but no sane person came here to make money.
That was the rep.

- Damn, that's pitiful for real
- How's the mindset so positive?
- What if it rains?
ㄴ OP) Just open wide and drink it up
ㄴ lololol fuck positive king
The locals weren't just positive—they were enlightened.
No Adrian emperor in history had fixed Rondel.
Monsters everywhere nearby.
Rugged terrain, hard to access, shitty weather where clear days were rare.
"Perfect."
Ideal spot for an alba hiring notice.

"Hmm, conditions too shitty?"
Was gonna do Korean minimum wage 10.03 orbs but bumped to 13 out of guilt.
Digging the earth, after all.
"Maybe bump it more."
Village half-destroyed, no proper rest spots.
Just tents for basics, drinks and snacks provided.
Rift wave could drop anytime, so cut rest for speed. But...
- Fuck yes signing up
- Why 1 hour for meals?
- Separate rest 1 hour ← tf does that mean?
- Lord Judak, question! So lunch + dinner rest = 1 hour total?
ㄴ Judak*) Nah, 1 each
ㄴ Oh so all three combined?
ㄴ Judak*) No, 1+1+1=3 hours
ㄴ Aah got it, so...
ㄴ Meals self-pay, snacks too?
"No, argh."
But galleryfags can't comprehend.
It's right there in the post, yet they overinterpret to paint me as trash.
ㄴ Judak*) Meals all free
ㄴ Judak*) Read the damn post, sorry but rest is only 1 hour separate????
ㄴ Judak*) Fucking dense fr
ㄴ Then why tf you sorry????
ㄴ Fuck lolololol
ㄴ What the hell's Judak sorry for?
ㄴ If you really don't get why he's sorry, upvote lol
ㄴ Judak you doing this on purpose?
ㄴ Why you keep trying to rile me up?
ㄴ Judak ← this guy's just sax
ㄴ Judak*) Fuck
Aimed for 100 peeps, unsure.
Prioritized locals, obviously.
"Not like outsiders would come anyway."
Rondel was southern outskirts of Adrian.
No one sane comes here for alba. Wrong.

- Wtf food level?
- I'm going rn
- Even nobles can't eat like this lol
- Veggies, meat, seafood—full spread
No food issues.
Modern world overflowing with meal kits.
One shop click, anything you crave.
Cheap as hell too, infinite meals easy.
"And extras who show can get hired more."
Always short on manpower.
Sent incoming galleryfags to village repair/rebuild alba.
Safety vouched by gallery docs.

Excellent doc: (Deep pit under rift meme)
Judak*: Nice
They succeeded in digging underground below the rift.
Down 22m.
"22m should do."
Even cleared a wide open space below.
Modern mob tower complete.
New arrivals to Rondel settled on their own, alba or not.
