All Master of 100 Floors Episode 100

18th Floor. Magic World (1)

The next day.

Kim Tae-yeon and Baekdusan came to visit and handed him a box. When he opened it to check, there were over a hundred gems inside. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.

“There are more than I expected.”

The total number of gems he had requested from the two was twenty. This was more than five times that amount.

It wasn’t just the quantity that was impressive. Each gem was considerably large and transparently clear.

If the world had been intact, they would have been worth billions. Even now when the value of gems had dropped, this was a difficult amount to obtain. Baekdusan scratched his head awkwardly.

“It would have been difficult with just our strength… but we received help from various sources.”

“Everyone was quite perceptive.”

Baekdusan and Kim Tae-yeon had connections with Kang Jun-hyeok. Since it wasn’t something they could hide even if they tried, this fact was widely known.

And the two had been gathering gems. The timing coincided with when they began forming ties with Kang Jun-hyeok. Since it was easy enough to guess what the gems were for, numerous offers of support came from outside sources.

“Thank you.”

Kang Jun-hyeok put away the box. With this much, he would be able to proceed much more smoothly. Seeing his satisfaction, Baekdusan cautiously asked.

“How do you plan to use these gems?”

They still didn’t know the reason why Kang Jun-hyeok wanted the gems. Rather, Kang Jun-hyeok showed a puzzled expression.

“You still haven’t figured it out? I thought you two would have realized by now.”

“We, we… we’re sorry.”

“No, no. Come to think of it, it’s understandable that you wouldn’t know.”

It wasn’t widely known information. Since it was a floor they had already passed, it would have been difficult for them to find information about it. Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly.

“I’ll be able to give you an answer before long, so I’ll let you know then. Thank you once again.”

“No, not at all.”

“Please call on us anytime you need anything!”

The two bowed their heads 90 degrees and left.

Next, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie and transmitted the memories of Floor 16 to her. Pixie let out an exclamation.

[You perfectly grasped the structure of the Void Space. How did you even find the Secret Room? And a Void Gem. It’s been a while.]

“Do you know what it is?”

[That thing is literally empty. It contains the concept from before the birth of the universe. It devours all concepts in this world and makes them fleeting. To think they put something like that on Floor 16. The Master of the Universe really likes to play around.]

Pixie grumbled. Kang Jun-hyeok showed interest in information he hadn’t known in his previous life.

“Is something like that also intermediate grade?”

[In the end, it’s an old-fashioned concept that existed before creation. Rather, it’s more amazing that you’re obtaining intermediate materials starting from Floor 16. No wait, you started getting them from Floor 14. You monster.]

Pixie muttered with a fed-up expression, then soon showed a mischievous smile.

[So how was it? Eldyria. Were you satisfied?]

[…It was so-so.]

[Right?]

Pixie giggled and snapped her fingers.

[200 Starlight.]

200 Starlight.

The total Starlight he currently possessed was 950. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes darkened.

‘I wonder if I can fill it before the 18th Floor.’

“Thanks.”

[Don’t mention it. See you again next time.]

Pixie departed.

After resting, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 17th Floor.

The 17th Floor’s Quest was to defeat a horde of orcs.

For Kang Jun-hyeok now, facing a horde of orcs wasn’t difficult at all. His stats, which had reached their peak, allowed him to sweep away orcs with just a light swing of his greatsword.

It took only three exchanges to kill the Orc Captain.

The problem was what came after. The Perfect Clear achievement condition was to kill every single one without leaving any behind, but the orcs who lost their captain began screaming and fleeing.

It was bothersome to chase those fleeing into the forest and crossing the river, but with his high stats and Observation Skill proficiency reaching C, finding their traces wasn’t difficult.

After roughly two days, he was able to hunt down and kill the last orc.

[17th Floor Quest Clear.]

[Compensation will be determined based on your performance.]

[Checking achievement rate…]

[Check complete.]

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional compensation will be provided.]

[Armor: You have obtained Orc Leather Armor.]

[Title: The effect of Perfect Player has been added.]

[You have obtained 2,923 Gold.]

[Perfect Clear Reward [Weapon: Orc Captain’s Greatsword] obtained.]

[Players who Perfect Cleared the 17th Floor: 3]

[Universe Announcement]

[Please congratulate them! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 17th Floor has appeared.]

[Great Achievement + 1]

He wasn’t the only one who Perfect Cleared the 17th Floor. Kang Jun-hyeok wasn’t surprised. The reason was that he had known the Perfect Clear conditions from the beginning. Since the conditions themselves weren’t that difficult, it wasn’t impossible.

The effect of the Perfect Player title was Strength + 1. Unfortunately, the Orc Leather Armor was useless.

[Orc Leather Armor]

[Part : Upper Body Armor]

[Grade : Lowest Grade]

[Strength + 2]

[Defense + 8]

[Leather armor used by orcs. Quite worn and tattered, but boasts decent defense.]

It had less than half the performance of the dark-colored armor Kang Jun-hyeok was wearing.

An ordinary 17th Floor Player would be grateful for even this much, but to Kang Jun-hyeok, it was no different from trash. It was also proof that he was far ahead of where he should be. Still, the Perfect Clear reward was quite useful.

[Orc Captain’s Greatsword]

[Part : Weapon]

[Grade : Low Grade]

[Attack Power + 40]

[The greatsword used by the captain who led the orc horde. Due to its heavy weight, it’s closer to a blunt weapon than a greatsword.]

It had 12 more attack power than the Goblin King’s Greatsword. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a quiet laugh.

“Finally replacing the greatsword.”

To think he was replacing something he got on the 2nd Floor on the 16th Floor. It also meant he had obtained something truly exceptional.

Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie and transferred the memories to her. Pixie scrunched up her face.

[This floor is boring!]

“I suppose so.”

Since it was simply a floor where you just had to hunt down orcs, it would be impossible to satisfy Pixie’s curiosity. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

‘Getting Pixie’s Wings before entering the 18th Floor might be impossible.’

It was unfortunate, but it wasn’t a big problem. He didn’t have an immediate need for it anyway.

[Then next is the 18th Floor. Hmm. This should be interesting too.]

Pixie grinned wickedly.

[I’ll look forward to it!]

Pixie disappeared.

Kang Jun-hyeok made various preparations until the Tower cooldown ended. He purchased ingredients and prepared other miscellaneous daily necessities. And finally, he organized and prepared over a hundred gems contained in boxes, one by one.

The reason he had made demands of Kim Tae-yeon and Baekdusan was precisely because of the 18th Floor.

After taking sufficient rest, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 18th Floor three days later.

[Will you challenge the Tower?]

[Floor to challenge: 18th Floor.]

He entered the Tower. The world turned upside down and a new world revealed itself.

The first thing he heard was the sound of fireworks exploding thunderously. Looking up at the sky, rainbow-colored fireworks were bursting one after another.

And at the center of it all, there was a blue tower that soared even higher than the fireworks.

A tower that seemed ready to pierce through the sky and reach the very ends of the Universe. He could see the shimmering haze of magical power surrounding the tower.

As Kang Jun-hyeok gazed intently at the haze, he could tell it was a defensive system with dozens of layers. It was the power of his Observation Skill, which had reached C-grade proficiency.

That was none other than the Magic Tower.

Kang Jun-hyeok stood before the Magic Tower.

But he wasn’t alone. The plaza in front of the Magic Tower was filled with hundreds, no, thousands of people. Each wore different clothing, spoke different languages, and had different expressions. But there was a common light in their eyes. It was hope and anticipation.

Suddenly the air grew heavy. The murmuring subsided as people’s gazes focused on one spot. An old man floating in the air before the Magic Tower was slowly descending. It was a face familiar to Kang Jun-hyeok as well.

In the silence, the old man slowly opened his mouth.

“This year too… there are many young ones who wish to apply to the Magic Tower.”

Despite being an incredibly quiet voice, it echoed throughout the entire plaza. People’s eyes gleamed with excitement at this mysterious phenomenon.

“You have all come here to become mages. Is that correct?”

“Yes!”

A resounding cheer spread in response to the old man’s question. The old man smiled.

“Indeed. This place is the great Magic Tower. Aihinber! Dozens of schools and thousands of magics exist here! Not only can you achieve what you imagine, but you can achieve even what you cannot imagine!”

“Waaaah!”

People burst into cheers. The old man clenched his fist and raised it up.

“I am the Tower Master. Wihanian! Welcome, young ones! The Magic Tower accepts anyone without discrimination as long as they possess qualifications and talent! Prove those two things and enter the Magic Tower! Obtain the power of great magic!”

The doors of the Magic Tower swung wide open. Along with tremendous cheers, a window announcing the objective appeared.

[18th Floor Progress Quest.]

[Enter the Magic Tower and find your place.]

* * *

“First, you must all take a test regarding qualifications and talent! Enter through the entrance in order!”

“Move aside!”

“I’m first!”

People began frantically forming lines. Kang Jun-hyeok also leisurely squeezed in among them. Manbyeonggi quietly muttered.

[Magic Tower Aihinber. It’s been a while.]

“A place you know?”

[Various Magic Towers exist in the universe. Aihinber is one of them.]

The planet where Aihinber existed was a planet friendly to magic. Most tools operated through magic, and everything else was persecuted. It was a world solely of magic, by magic, for magic.

Due to its deformed structure, it had produced quite a number of powerful mages to the universe. Manbyeonggi spoke with indifference.

[Of course, that’s also a story of the past. Now it’s been devoured by the Victors and even its remnants disappeared long ago. To put a place they destroyed into the Tower. Truly bad taste.]

“So that’s how it was.”

[There are probably some survivors, but they’ve scattered throughout the universe. Among them are those who fought against the Great War but were defeated. That old man making noise up front was one of them too.]

Tower Master. Wihanian.

He was one of the defeated who had fought against the Victors. Manbyeonggi spoke playfully.

[He’s in the same state as you. Isn’t that right? Eldyria.]

[…He is different from me. He merely appears as a supporting character. He wasn’t directly humiliated like I was. He’s not even worth comparing.]

“Don’t compete over strange things.”

Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

He was aware of the situation too. He actually knew Wihanian as well. But what mattered to him was what he would obtain on the 18th Floor. That was the only thing.

The 18th Floor.

This was a floor where magic could be obtained.

And he had finished all the preparations. Kang Jun-hyeok slowly followed the line.
