All Master of 100 Floors Episode 079

 

Floor 14. Great Ocean (8)

 

“…Ha.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had returned to Earth, let out a hollow laugh.

 

Aloanian Hasar.

 

A believer of the great sea god. A top-tier Player who survived until the very end.

 

She had been one of his comrades from the past.

 

‘Who would have thought I’d meet her in a place like this.’

 

The Tower was a fragment cut away from the past. It wasn’t strange to encounter familiar faces. He felt oddly pleased.

 

[She seemed like a familiar face.]

 

“It’s a one-sided acquaintance.”

 

[She must be someone famous.]

 

“She is quite famous.”

 

She was no different from a hero to the mermaids. Even if this was her past before entering the Tower, she would be able to face a Kraken alone.

 

When he thought the difficulty was too high, it seemed the standard flow was for her to handle the Kraken.

 

‘How nostalgic.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok began checking his rewards with a smile.

 

First, his Spear Technique skill proficiency had risen to D. And he had acquired a passive skill called Mental Immunity.

 

[Passive Skill: Mental Immunity]

 

[Grade: Lowest]

 

[Proficiency: D]

 

[Immunity to mental attacks and damage. You have gained immunity to most mental damage and attacks.]

 

It was literally a skill that defended against mental attacks. Even beyond attacks, it resolved issues like trauma and mental illness – one of the essential skills any Player should have.

 

However, from Kang Jun-hyeok’s perspective, it was a rather useless skill. Mental attacks didn’t work on him anyway. Manbyeonggi muttered as if finding it strange.

 

[Even for a spirit, the Kraken’s Mind Control is difficult to endure with willpower alone. Only those who have achieved enlightenment through spiritual cultivation or reached a certain level through mental training can defend against it. But you weren’t affected at all. You don’t seem to have achieved enlightenment either.]

 

“I have a lot of experience.”

 

[That one sentence doesn’t explain it. Whatever. You’re not strange in just one or two ways anyway.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled. While it didn’t have much meaning now, it would become useful if he raised its proficiency. He checked his clear reward.

 

[Mermaid’s Orb]

 

[A relic and artifact passed down through generations among the mermaids. Allows breathing underwater and free movement without water resistance. It is extremely precious, and it is exceedingly rare for non-mermaids to obtain it.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok showed a satisfied expression after checking the orb.

 

The Mermaid’s Orb was extremely difficult to obtain, just as the description stated.

 

It was their treasure that could only be obtained after building deep friendships with them and becoming like family. Even in his previous life, Kang Jun-hyeok had obtained a Mermaid’s Orb much later.

 

Yet he had obtained one on Floor 14. It was an overwhelming speed. Since there would be quite a few ocean-related floors ahead, he would be able to use it effectively.

 

[Kraken’s Tentacle Mass]

 

[Part : Shoes]

 

[Grade : Intermediate]

 

[Strength + 1]

 

[Speed + 3]

 

[Defense + 6]

 

[Equipment Ability : Using the Kraken’s tentacles, you can freely walk on walls, ceilings, and the like.]

 

[Shoes made by cutting off the Kraken’s tentacles. Even though the main body is already dead, the strange power of its flesh still remains.]

 

“Oh ho.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok showed interest. As they say, seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times. Putting on the shoes, Kang Jun-hyeok immediately placed his foot on the wall of his studio apartment.

 

Thud.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body defied gravity and began climbing up the wall. After reaching the ceiling, when Kang Jun-hyeok relaxed the strength in his legs, his body came down to the ground.

 

“Not bad?”

 

With these shoes, he could now utilize all three-dimensional space. Even when the platform was unstable, he could use the shoes’ power to maintain his posture. It was extremely useful equipment.

 

[Alpram’s Tear]

 

[Grade : Intermediate]

 

[Guardian of the vast Great Ocean. Alpram’s Tear. These tears, condensed over hundreds of years, are like gems and possess their own mystery.]

 

The other Perfect Clear reward. Alpram’s Tear was a material item.

 

Material items were useless on their own, but depending on how you utilized them, their value could be worlds apart.

 

He couldn’t use it right now, but a way to make use of it would appear soon. Kang Jun-hyeok put the tear into his inventory with satisfaction.

 

[Title : Monster Slayer]

 

[A title given to one who has killed a monster class creature.]

 

[When facing monsters, attack power and defense increase by 5 each.]

 

Monster Slayer. It provided considerably high offensive and defensive stats. Since it was a title he had obtained in his previous life as well, there was nothing new about it, but it was powerful.

 

The added Perfect Clear title effect was Speed + 3 underwater. Being limited, it had a high value.

 

“Good.”

 

He had finished checking all the rewards.

 

Then now, it was time to share information about the floor.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.

 

“Shop.”

 

Kiiing.

 

Space splits open and a universe-like world becomes visible. A fairy with a cigar in her mouth. Pixie appears with a mysterious smile.

 

[You’re back? And faster than I expected too. What method did you use this time?]

 

“It would be easier to show you directly rather than explain it a hundred times.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok calmly extended his hand. When Pixie cheerfully grasped it, memories flowed into her.

 

[Uuuuugh.]

 

She groaned and stepped back. Shock slowly began to settle on her face.

 

[You crazy bastard. You reached the Mermaid Village without using Down Fall?]

 

“What’s Down Fall?”

 

[The Mermaid Village exists in the deep sea. Adults might be fine, but young children find it quite difficult to swim up to the surface. There are dangerous parts in between too. To solve such problems, they created something called Down Fall near the village.]

 

Down Fall was a type of transportation device created using ocean currents. It activated with a one-week interval and could instantly travel between the sea surface and the deep sea.

 

[You probably could have discovered it if you observed from the surface for a few days?]

 

“There was such a thing.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered. Even he, who had connections with mermaids in his previous life, was learning this for the first time.

 

‘Back then, I wasn’t in a position to worry about such trivial things.’

 

When the world was on the verge of destruction, mere transportation methods weren’t exactly important. Pixie muttered with an amazed expression.

 

[To dive into the deep sea with your bare body without even knowing where the bottom is. You’re insane. No wait. Do you have exceptional intuition?]

 

Either way, from Pixie’s perspective, it was admirable. That wasn’t all.

 

[How do you even know how to befriend mermaids?]

 

Mermaids were creatures living in the deep sea. Aside from basic information, almost nothing was known about them.

 

However, Kang Jun-hyeok perfectly understood and acted on how to build trust with mermaids on Floor 14 and how to gain their favor. As a result, he succeeded in obtaining the Mermaid’s Orb.

 

Having read his memories, Pixie could tell. Kang Jun-hyeok had calculated and acted on everything from the beginning.

 

But even that was mere child’s play compared to his next actions.

 

[Even if it was a juvenile, you faced the Kraken alone and… defeated it? Perfectly at that?]

 

The Kraken was a legendary monster. It was extremely rare, and even she didn’t possess much information about it. However, Kang Jun-hyeok knew everything about the Kraken, responded to it, and defeated it.

 

His movements were as if he had fought Kraken multiple times before.

 

Pixie asked with an incredulous expression.

 

[You. Have you fought a Kraken before?]

 

“What do you think?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly. Pixie groaned.

 

[It’s full of incomprehensible things. In the end, you succeeded in a Perfect Clear without any help.]

 

The Perfect Clear conditions for Floor 14 were strict.

 

If you’re late, the Mermaid Village gets destroyed by the Kraken, and if you try to respond quickly, the fishmen die. It was a floor that required very careful judgment and movement.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had solved such a floor with pure individual ability alone.

 

It was admirable. It was marvelous. Even she, who had accumulated countless knowledge, couldn’t understand it. Her face filled with excitement.

 

[As expected, you’re interesting. Here. Your reward.]

 

[500 Starlight.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes lit up.

 

Floor 14 gave quite a lot of Starlight as it satisfied Pixie’s expectations. The total Starlight he currently possessed was 820.

 

“Hmm.”

 

This made him conflicted.

 

At this point, what had intuitively high value was the Active Skill Pixie’s Wings.

 

[Active Skill: Pixie’s Wings]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 60 minutes]

 

[For 1 minute, you can obtain Pixie’s Wings and fly around freely.]

 

[1,000 Starlight]

 

The ability to fly freely for 1 minute. Its value was beyond words. It was a very special skill that could solve countless problems with ease.

 

Rationally speaking, it would be right to clear the next floor first, then purchase Pixie’s Wings. Pixie watched with eyes that seemed curious about what choice he would make.

 

After pondering for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.

 

“I’ll purchase Pixie’s Treasure Intuition.”

 

[…Huh? Really?]

 

Pixie’s eyes widened at the completely unexpected answer.

 

[Active Skill: Pixie’s Treasure Intuition]

 

[Grade: Low Grade]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 60 minutes]

 

[If there are valuable treasures within a certain range, you can know their location.]

 

[500 Starlight]

 

Pixie’s Treasure Intuition.

 

He could purchase this skill for 500 Starlight right now.

 

But its effect was far too ambiguous. Being able to detect treasures within a certain range. It was difficult to judge its value at a glance.

 

However, Kang Jun-hyeok nodded as if he was certain.

 

“I’ll purchase it.”

 

The reason Kang Jun-hyeok wanted to purchase Treasure Intuition was simple.

 

The very next floor.

 

Because he could use it on the 15th Floor.

 

No. In his judgment, it was an absolutely necessary skill. Pixie snapped her fingers as if finding it fascinating.

 

[An unexpected choice? Hmm. You’re interesting as always. Take it.]

 

[You have acquired Active Skill: Pixie’s Treasure Intuition.]

 

[Aren’t you going to use your Gold?]

 

“I won’t use it right now.”

 

[Then that’s it for now. The next floor is the 15th Floor… Ah. That guy’s territory, huh?]

 

Pixie laughed as if things had become interesting.

 

[This should be fun too. I’ll look forward to it?]

 

“You won’t be disappointed.”

 

Pixie chuckled and departed.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok lay down on the bed.

 

The next floor is the 15th Floor.

 

It was a floor with great significance for clearing the Tower.

 

He would need to prepare himself mentally and physically as much as possible before going. Kang Jun-hyeok quietly closed his eyes. As he meditated, one thought crossed his mind.

 

‘Come to think of it, is it about time?’

 

The moment he had that thought, a system window immediately appeared.

 

[Universe Announcement.]

 

[Hello, everyone. This is the Administrator of the Tower.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled at the system window that appeared before his eyes.

 

“You really can’t be a gentleman.”

 

[Hello, Players! How have you all been! Most of you seem to be climbing the Tower more enthusiastically than before, which is fortunate. However, there still seem to be some who have given up and aren’t climbing… What a pity.]

 

[I’ll stop the small talk here and get straight to the point.]

 

The system window delivered its verdict cheerfully and cruelly at the same time.

 

[One week from now, the second test will be conducted!]
