All Master of 100 Floors Episode 106
19th Floor. Magic World (1)
“Woooooooh…!”
Tia opened her mouth wide and burst out in exclamation.
The ArcanaGem School existed on the 11th Floor. It was the lowest floor, and as such, it was utterly old and shabby.
But the place she had entered now was the complete opposite. It was extremely spacious and all sorts of expensive experimental tools were splendidly displayed. The bookshelves were lined with magic tomes that appeared to be brand new.
“Th-this is really our school’s true capability? My goodness!”
She had ascended to the top floor of the Magic Tower.
The reason was simple.
Kang Jun-hyeok had proven the power of Arcana Gem Magic in the tournament.
He had defeated the direct disciple of the Magic Tower Master who possessed talent that appeared once in a hundred years.
It was an unbelievable result. Although Kang Jun-hyeok had shown strangely fast movements in the process, that didn’t remain in the mages’ minds.
What they remembered was the part where Arcana Gem Magic pressured Alfrein.
The Magic Tower was a thorough meritocracy. It was natural for the ArcanaGem School, which had proven its value, to leave the 11th Floor and instantly head to the top floor of the Magic Tower. Tia, who hurriedly rushed to the table, let out a cheer.
“Wow! There are gems too! My goodness! I never thought they’d support us with even this!”
Kang Jun-hyeok, who glanced at them, muttered.
“The purity isn’t very high.”
They were cloudier than the gems Kang Jun-hyeok possessed, and their size was also smaller. Tia, who had been rejoicing, made a groaning sound.
“The gems you have are the strange ones, okay? You have dozens of things that could feed three generations with just one. Where on earth did you get them?”
Whatever the case, it was good news for her. She giggled and threw herself into the chair. At the soft and luxurious texture, she let out a moan of ecstasy.
“Ah… To think the day would come when I’d receive such treatment. It’s all thanks to you!”
She suddenly stood up and positioned herself in front of Kang Jun-hyeok.
“A miraculous existence that the god of magic has bestowed upon me. I’m truly grateful.”
“I’m the one who’s grateful. Thanks to you, I was able to learn magic.”
“Then it worked out well for both of us, right? Please take care of me in the future too!”
Tia extended her hand. Kang Jun-hyeok grasped it in return. Along with the handshake, a system window appeared.
[Title: Apprentice Mage of ArcanaGem School has evolved into Mage of ArcanaGem School.]
[18th Floor Progress Quest Clear.]
[Checking achievement rate…]
[Check complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be granted.]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 18th Floor: 2 people.]
[Universe Notice]
[Congratulations! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player has appeared on the 18th Floor.]
[Achievement + 3]
[This will lead to an 18th Floor progression Quest. Clear rewards will be given after all progression Quests are completed.]
The 18th Floor was a progression Quest like the 10th Floor. It didn’t end with just one floor. Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled and lay down on the bed.
“That was long.”
It took over a month just to clear. It was the longest floor so far. During that time, he had accumulated quite a bit of fatigue from learning magic like crazy without even sleeping.
As he lay there resting, he stared blankly at the System Window.
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 18th Floor: 2 people.]
He wasn’t the only one who Perfect Cleared the 18th Floor.
There was one more person.
From the beginning, he knew that the Perfect Clear condition was winning the tournament. It was possible because he had heard it from someone who achieved it in his previous life.
Alfrein is a genius.
Born with magical talent that appears once in a hundred years in the Universe, he was also active in the Great War over ownership of the Universe.
There were many Players called geniuses of magic, but none of them could defeat Alfrein.
Except for one person.
A genius who might appear once in ten thousand years in the Universe.
A half-blood of human and demon.
The Player who gave him Lemegeton in his previous life.
The Demon King’s Successor.
He had Perfect Cleared the 18th Floor.
‘His mentality wasn’t good, but his abilities were definitely solid.’
Thinking that far, Kang Jun-hyeok smiled. In other words, it meant he had succeeded in Perfect Clear just like that level of genius, on a floor that required magic.
“Very good.”
He muttered happily. It was a growth rate incomparable to his previous life.
‘At this rate, I wonder if I can do more in the next event.’
Various events took place during the process of climbing the Tower.
Among them, there was an event that occurred before the third test began.
An event that was nearly impossible to clear, one that determined an individual’s limits.
Calculating with the current growth rate, it might be possible to clear that event. It was a matter of possibility, but it wasn’t impossible.
To do that, he would need to clear the Tower even more perfectly. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.
“Pixie.”
[Yahoo!]
Pixie appears with sparkling eyes.
[How was it?]
“See for yourself.”
Kang Jun-hyeok extended his hand. Pixie, who received the memories, let out an exclamation.
[Alfrein. We fought together during the Great War. It’s been a while. And you defeated that guy? Arcana Gem Magic. What a strange magic?]
Pixie muttered as if finding it fascinating. Even to her, who collected all things in the universe, Arcana Gem Magic was alien.
[Hmm. That was interesting.]
“Yeah. See you next time.”
Kang Jun-hyeok answered calmly. The 18th Floor was a progression quest. To receive a reward from her, he had to complete all the progression quests.
[Hmm. Mm.]
But Pixie groaned while touching her hair, then clapped her hands as if she had made a decision.
[Here. Take it!]
[50 Starlight.]
Starlight was given.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.
“What? Wasn’t this supposed to be given after completing the progression quest?”
[Normally it would be. But you delivered Eldyria’s memories to me, didn’t you? This is a service for that!]
[Don’t use other people’s memories as trade material.]
Eldyria made a displeased sound, but he had no time to worry about that. The starlight he now possessed was 1,000. With this, there was something he could buy immediately.
“I’ll purchase Pixie’s Wings.”
[Good. Take it!]
[You have acquired 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.]
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled.
Pixie’s Wings that could freely fly through three-dimensional space. He had finally obtained a skill of indescribable value.
Moreover, considering the clear conditions of the 19th Floor, what he had obtained now was a benefit worth its weight in gold. Kang Jun-hyeok expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you.”
[Shouldn’t you thank me first?]
“I always have thoughts of gratitude toward Lady Eldyria. To a degree that’s difficult to express in words.”
[Mm.]
Eldyria made a satisfied sound. Pixie watched this scene as if finding it strange.
[You’ve changed a lot too, Eldyria.]
[I don’t think you’re one to talk.]
[That’s true. Well then, see you next time!]
Pixie departed. Kang Jun-hyeok closed his eyes with a pleased expression. After taking sufficient rest, he entered the tower.
Upon entering the 19th Floor, Tia could be seen giggling and researching happily in the research laboratory.
“You look happy.”
“Of course I am! My treatment has completely changed!”
Tia spread her arms and spun around in her chair.
She was extremely happy right now.
Having received recognition for her magic, all kinds of support were pouring in. The treatment from those around her had changed completely. Those who had always ignored her and pretended not to see her now smiled at her and showered her with all sorts of flattery.
“Yesterday, a Royal Envoy from a kingdom came asking if I’d consider becoming a court mage! At this rate, becoming the next Magic Tower Master might not be just a dream! It’s all thanks to you!”
“Is that so.”
Unfortunately, her dream would not come true. Not long from this point in time, the Great War over ownership of the Universe would take place.
In the end, she was from the distant past. A being from before the Great War.
Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been watching her for a moment, opened his mouth.
“What if.”
“Hm?”
“What if, after your death, your magic spread throughout the entire Universe and everyone came to use your magic? How would you feel about that?”
“…Hm?”
Tia had an expression as if asking what he was talking about. But when Kang Jun-hyeok looked at her seriously, she also pondered with a serious face. After a moment, she opened her mouth.
“If that were the case… I would have nothing more to wish for.”
She answered with brilliantly shining eyes, with an expression of ecstasy just from imagining it. That was definitely the expression of a madman who had staked their life on magic. Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled.
“I see.”
“But why suddenly?”
“No. It’s nothing. I just suddenly had that thought.”
Kang Jun-hyeok turned his gaze away. Tia was puzzled but didn’t press further. She just giggled while dreaming of such a future.
Kang Jun-hyeok continued his Magic Training.
‘I have about seventy gems left.’
Roughly thirty had been consumed. It was a considerable number, but Kang Jun-hyeok had an ambiguous expression. Because he knew what was going to happen next.
And when a week had passed, the incident finally occurred.
Crash!
The door opened roughly. Tia entered with an excited face.
‘Finally here.’
“K-Kang Jun-hyeok? Did you hear?”
“What’s wrong?”
“The Archmage. Weed’s Tomb has been discovered!”
She shouted in an excited tone.
* * *
Archmage Weed.
He was a figure from a thousand years ago.
He had been loved by mana from birth. He could handle mana as naturally as breathing, as naturally as moving his fingers.
He had been using magic since he was three years old. There was no such thing as casting for him. Magic was accomplished simply by uttering words. It was like the Dragon Speech of dragons passed down in legends.
At age 10, he entered the Magic Tower. He mastered all magic that existed in the Magic Tower. At age 20, he became the Magic Tower Master. Until he aged and died of old age, no one could threaten his position.
He was a legendary archmage whose stories are still told today. The magic he created alone numbered in the hundreds.
And at the final moment of his life, he left behind only a single note and disappeared.
[I was born as mana and return as mana. I will leave nothing behind. But I will leave a trace of mercy in my tomb. Take my legacy from that place.]
All Mages of the Continent moved to find that tomb, but they couldn’t find even the slightest trace.
That tomb has now been discovered.
[19th Floor Progress Quest]
[Find and explore Weed’s Tomb.]
A Quest window appears. The Perfect Clear condition for the 19th Floor would probably be finding the tomb and obtaining the legacy.
The reason this was speculation rather than certainty was because even the Half-Human Half-Demon, the Demon King’s Successor, hadn’t achieved a Perfect Clear on the 19th Floor.
“You’re going, right?”
“Of course. Let’s move right away.”
But he would succeed. Kang Jun-hyeok stood up from his seat. Tia began hurriedly packing their belongings.
