All Master of 100 Floors Episode 001
Prologue.
Humanity was perishing.
The reason was simple.
Because he had been a pushover.
There was a world that had turned into ruins.
A world where everything had turned to ash, where not even a single tree remained, crumbled by the long, long flow of time.
A man was gazing at that world.
“Fuck.”
What burst from his lips was a primal curse. The pupils of the man looking at the ruins were trembling.
“You are feeling anger.”
Behind the man stood an old monk. His eyes, formed through deep cultivation, were endlessly sunken.
“You have returned. Milarepa High Monk. Were there any results?”
“Our world was the only place in the universe where life remained. Regrettably.”
“It’s not surprising since I expected as much.”
The man spoke indifferently. Milarepa High Monk calmly asked him.
“What makes you so angry, Kang Jun-hyeok?”
“Don’t you know as well?”
The man called Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.
“This damn situation. The situation itself.”
“Is that so?”
The high monk smiled bitterly.
One day.
A message arrived in the universe.
That the owner of the universe had changed.
That they would abandon the current universe and create a new one.
So you will all disappear.
But at the same time, that existence said.
That they would give you one more chance.
Climb the tower, reach the goal, and prevent destruction.
All beings in the universe moved with all their might to prevent destruction. Countless time had flowed since then. After countless sacrifices, they were reaching the end.
They could win. They had gathered enough power for that. In terms of simple strength alone, it was possible.
But at the same time, Kang Jun-hyeok was certain.
That it was impossible.
“Come to think of it.”
Milarepa asked as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
“What are our heroes doing?”
Among the beings in the universe, those who were exceptionally strong. The mighty ones who could overturn the war situation.
They were called heroes. Milarepa asked about the whereabouts of one of them.
“What is the Hero, owner of the Holy Sword, doing?”
The great Holy Sword. A gift that the defeated gods had gathered their last strength to give to the earth. The one who possessed it would gain the power of all gods. They had enough power to be called a hero.
“Isn’t he right over there?”
Kang Jun-hyeok raised his finger and pointed to the other side of the world. Even though it was very far away, they could confirm it without problem.
Milarepa High Monk muttered as if he understood.
“He’s clutching the Holy Sword and constantly talking to himself.”
“He was already weak-minded, but it got worse after he got the Holy Sword. All day long he clutches the Holy Sword and only seeks comfort. Normal conversation doesn’t work with him.”
“Is that so?”
Milarepa High Monk muttered as if it was regrettable.
“Then where is the owner of Lemegeton, the Half-Human Half-Demon?”
The book of Black Magic. Lemegeton. It was said that whoever possessed it could handle all Black Magic. They could have power reaching the demon king, on a different level from ordinary mages.
Kang Jun-hyeok said indifferently.
“He couldn’t bear the fear and committed suicide just yesterday. Since no one but the owner can read Lemegeton, it’s been reduced to a pretty collectible.”
“Is that so?”
Milarepa High Monk muttered again as if it was regrettable.
After that, Milarepa High Monk continued to ask.
“Where has the High Elf’s Bastard who contracted with the Four Great Spirit Kings gone?”
“Where has the Greatest Martial Artist who consumed Azure Stone Oil and Great Return Pill, Ten Thousand Year He Shou Wu and Imugi’s Inner Core gone?”
“Where is the Esper who reached the end of evolution and can handle all Superpowers?”
To all those questions, Kang Jun-hyeok answered.
“He fled to the Spirit Realm. Don’t you think he’s like an ostrich? Anyway, when the universe is destroyed, the Spirit Realm will disappear too, but he seems to think he’s hidden if he buries his head.”
“He fled to his Inner World through Meditation. He’s planning to extremely stretch the flow of time within himself and live there forever.”
“He ran away saying he’d try fleeing to the Edge of Universe.”
All those called heroes had fled. Kang Jun-hyeok lamented.
“Why do such worthless guys have such power?”
“That’s an amusing thing to say.”
Milarepa High Monk said with a quiet laugh.
“Wasn’t it none other than you who gave them that power? The one and only player in the entire universe who cleared 100 floors. Conqueror of the Tower.”
The difficulty of the tower presented to them was terrible.
No one reached the 100th floor and gave up before that.
Except for one person. Except for Kang Jun-hyeok before his eyes.
He was strong.
So strong that he looked around at his weak surroundings, pitied them, and gave away his power.
“Thanks to that, I’m regretting it spectacularly.”
Kang Jun-hyeok grumbled.
“I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have pitied them and given away the power to survive, I should have taken everything myself. If I had, I wouldn’t have to face this situation.”
The vast universe was heading toward destruction. What remained was barely enough life to fill even one planet.
“I understand.”
Milarepa muttered.
“The target of your anger is yourself.”
Why did he give away power?
Why did he have sympathy for them?
If he hadn’t done that and had taken everything for himself, the universe might not have been destroyed.
“It’s belated regret. The world has already become like this. And those useless guys have fled.”
“…That’s right. Since it’s something that already happened, it’s irreversible regret. Literally, unless time itself goes back.”
Milarepa muttered in a strange tone.
And at that moment.
Crrrrrack.
The sky split open. From beyond it, countless monsters began to show themselves.
[Quest Start.]
[We wish you victory.]
The survivors quickly began preparing for an attack. Kang Jun-hyeok rose from his position.
“Then, Milarepa High Monk. If there is an afterlife, let us meet there.”
“I will ascend to Nirvana, so we probably won’t be able to meet there.”
Milarepa High Monk muttered with a smile. Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled and moved his body.
“Get up, you bastard.”
“Ugh, uugh…”
He struck the Hero’s head. The Hero staggered to his feet.
[Buooooooo!]
The first thing to appear was a distorted monster with a gigantic face. Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.
“A monster that devoured the Demon King.”
The master of Hell and king of demons. A monster that had devoured that existence. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly made his judgment. Even in this situation, he devised the optimal method for victory.
‘That monster’s power is composed of demonic energy.’
And the natural enemy of demonic energy was divine power.
Having thought that far, Kang Jun-hyeok immediately charged toward the monster. The monster manifested its power toward Kang Jun-hyeok who was rushing at it.
Terrifyingly filthy demonic energy writhed as it rushed toward him. Watching this, Kang Jun-hyeok activated his skill.
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]
Light erupted.
It was a brilliant light that erased all shadows in the world. It melted and burned away the approaching demonic energy. In an instant, a path toward the monster opened.
Kang Jun-hyeok raised his weapon and drove it into the monster’s body.
“Explode and die.”
He detonated divine power through his sword. Cracks instantly began spreading across the monster’s body.
[Bu! O! O! O!]
But the monster didn’t die. It suffered in agony and violently scattered demonic energy. That alone was enough to kill the planet.
‘Damn it!’
Kang Jun-hyeok gritted his teeth. He possessed divine power, but not at a level sufficient to kill a monster that had devoured the Demon King. He needed even stronger divine power, so he shouted loudly.
“Hero! Finish it off!”
A Hero wielding the Holy Sword could kill this monster.
But no answer came to his shout.
Kang Jun-hyeok hurriedly turned his head to look at the ground.
There, the Hero was trembling violently while clutching the Holy Sword to his chest. Seeing this, Kang Jun-hyeok momentarily lost his reason.
“You fucking son of a…”
Thwack.
His words couldn’t continue. The rampaging monster sent Kang Jun-hyeok flying.
Kuuuung!
Crashed into the ground, he groaned and raised his head.
[Bu! O! O! O!]
The monster that devoured the Demon King let out a cry. The spatial rifts grew larger and other monsters appeared.
“We should have dealt with at least one of them before it came to this.”
Because of that damn Hero bastard. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a hollow laugh.
[Buooooo…]
The appeared monsters immediately fixed their gaze on Kang Jun-hyeok. They had instantly identified what the most threatening existence was to them.
All of them simultaneously unleashed their power toward Kang Jun-hyeok.
Kugugugugung!
Power rushed at him all at once. Each one was an attack from monsters that could tear planets apart and destroy worlds. Space collapsed and the time axis twisted. It was literally enough power to split a planet.
“This is really fucked up.”
Kang Jun-hyeok lamented as he gripped his sword.
[Martial Extreme.]
The sword drew a diagonal line.
Crack.
At the same time, the world was slashed.
The mighty attacks of monsters that twisted space and time axes. They were cut away as if tearing a painting. The sword strike left long in the world devoured everything. The monsters struggled not to be sucked in.
Kang Jun-hyeok then raised his finger and pointed at a monster.
[Existence Erasure.]
“Die.”
Power was contained in his words. The monster designated by his fingertip was about to be instantly erased.
But at that moment, a monster composed of countless Magic Tools quickly protected the monster. The mighty power was absorbed directly into the monster made of Magic Tools. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.
“A mystery devourer, huh.”
A monster that had grown by greedily devouring the master of the great Tower of Wishes.
“Originally, the owner of Lemegeton would have dealt with it.”
That bastard had long since fled from responsibility under the name of suicide.
Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.
“Fine. Let’s give it our all until the end.”
Kang Jun-hyeok fought desperately.
Even with destruction approaching before his eyes, he didn’t lose hope and advanced toward victory. He poured out all his strength to face the monsters.
But it wasn’t enough.
He succeeded in making the mystery devourer explode from overload, but his mana hit rock bottom.
He succeeded in killing the interdimensional monster, but exhausted even his internal energy.
He succeeded in shaking off the clinging alien insects, but his Telekinesis was destroyed.
Because he had yielded power to others, he had no choice but to consume strength dealing with each monster one by one.
This was the result.
[Quest Failed.]
“I lost.”
As he muttered quietly, one person’s figure entered his vision. A man in a martial arts robe with long hair. The Greatest Martial Artist was sitting with eyes closed in Meditation. He was escaping into his Inner World.
Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.
“Useless bastard.”
Rustle.
Another monster that had quietly approached blew off the Greatest Martial Artist’s head. Kang Jun-hyeok let out an empty laugh.
“Hahaha…”
He had lost.
Not because of anything else, but because of his own weakness, he was defeated.
He shouldn’t have done that. He shouldn’t have yielded because they seemed to lack the strength to survive, because they looked like they would die if left alone, because he had sufficient power and didn’t need it. Everything, everything he should have devoured.
If he had, he could have achieved victory.
“You’re regretting it.”
“I’m sorry it came to this, Milarepa High Monk. It’s all because I was weak.”
“No. It’s not your fault.”
Milarepa High Monk, dying in a similar state to Kang Jun-hyeok, spoke quietly.
“You simply had a weak heart. You simply sympathized with others. If we call that a sin, then who in this world would be without sin.”
“Even if that’s true.”
If he hadn’t done that, they might have been able to achieve victory.
Kang Jun-hyeok lamented. The monk watching him opened his mouth.
“If the current you returned to the past, you would no longer leave behind any regrets.”
“It’s already over. Just a futile delusion.”
“No. It’s not in vain.”
Milarepa slowly approached Kang Jun-hyeok. He reached out his hand and gave something to Kang Jun-hyeok. It was a small gem.
“What are you suddenly doing…”
“I will reach the state of Nirvana. It’s something I no longer need.”
Milarepa smiled faintly.
“So, I’ll give it to you.”
[Returning Gem.]
[Returns to before the incident occurred.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression changed at the item’s description.
“Milarepa?”
“Please, this time, don’t make a choice you’ll regret.”
Milarepa smiled faintly. The life faded from his face.
“…”
Kang Jun-hyeok quietly stared at the gem. The monsters were slowly approaching him.
“…Regret, you say.”
Crack.
Kang Jun-hyeok gritted his teeth. Anger flickered across his face.
“I have no intention of doing such a thing.”
[Returning Gem.]
[Returns to before the incident occurred.]
The world transformed. Everything began to rapidly reverse. The monsters that had crushed the world, Milarepa’s figure, and even the Hero still lying on the ground crying pathetically—everything disappeared.
And at the end of it all.
“…What is this.”
Kang Jun-hyeok had returned.
To before everything began.
