All Master of 100 Floors Episode 113

 

21st Floor. God of Envy. Zelesi (1)

 

[Title: 21st Floor feels unpleasant.]

 

[Just… I just passed through. The trial was cleared without doing anything. As if saying, you’re not even worth envying.]

 

* * *

 

[It’s Zelesi. Come to think of it, they said gods had also established themselves in the Tower.]

 

Eldyria muttered. Unlike Manbyeonggi, she hadn’t entered the Tower, so she didn’t know much about its structure and members.

 

[Considering that bastard’s personality, would he be suitable for this place? No. Rather, it would be strange if he wasn’t here.]

 

Eldyria muttered as if she found it quite distasteful. Manbyeonggi spoke quietly.

 

[A god is a being that governs their own concept. The god of envy is an envious being. That thing envies all things.]

 

It covets and hates. It envies everything. It’s always an empty existence.

 

[One of the representative gods with a corrupted personality.]

 

“Hmm.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok slowly approaches the altar. He begins to feel the god’s gaze.

 

The first emotion he saw was bewilderment.

 

It had seen Manbyeonggi and Eldyria beside Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Two powerful Transcendents staying beside a single Player. That was certainly a strange thing.

 

But that was only momentary.

 

The next emotion shown was intense envy.

 

The Defeated Ones from the Great War of the past.

 

They had tried to help Players.

 

Generally speaking, that is.

 

The god of envy grasped the power that Kang Jun-hyeok had built up while climbing the Tower. And soon, one emotion arose.

 

That was envy.

 

Envy toward Kang Jun-hyeok, envy toward the Player turns space upside down. Intense emotion strong enough to shake space and give physical influence.

 

Hateful.

 

You are so very hateful.

 

You are nothing.

 

You merely received an opportunity luckily given by the Master of the Universe.

 

Why did the likes of you receive opportunities that we couldn’t have?

 

The manifestation of emotion as if conveying directly through words. Kang Jun-hyeok whistled. Manbyeonggi muttered as if he had expected this.

 

[Well, that figures.]

 

The god of envy. Zelesi.

 

Had he really stayed here to help the Tower’s Players?

 

The answer is no.

 

He envied the Players.

 

Why were you given the opportunity to save the universe?

 

Why did we fail, yet you climb the Tower?

 

I hate you.

 

Players. I hate you all so very much.

 

I’m jealous.

 

A god who established himself in the Tower solely to resolve that jealousy, to crush the Players. That was none other than Zelesi, God of Jealousy.

 

‘Though I don’t crush just anyone.’

 

Players who weren’t even worth being jealous of were simply allowed to pass without any trials.

 

But what about Kang Jun-hyeok?

 

Zelesi, who had been watching Kang Jun-hyeok, soon manifested waves.

 

Wooooong.

 

Intense waves swept over Kang Jun-hyeok. It was to assess the power he possessed.

 

Zelesi finished confirming the power that Kang Jun-hyeok had built up.

 

At the same time, space twisted. Emotions materialized and affected the world. An intense manifestation of emotion that would make the weak-hearted faint on the spot.

 

‘I never received this level of jealousy even in my previous life.’

 

I hate you so very much.

 

I hate you.

 

I’m so jealous, I want to kill you.

 

That emotion soon became a Quest and appeared before Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[Zelesi, God of Jealousy, proposes a trial to you.]

 

[Condition: Pass the trial.]

 

[Reward: Zelesi’s Relic.]

 

“I accept.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok nodded. The God of Jealousy showed emotion of joy for the first time. Space began to transform and expand.

 

Kwajijik.

 

The space in front of the altar cracked, and a hand emerged from within. A figure revealed itself. Eldyria muttered.

 

[Haltoron.]

 

“Someone you know?”

 

[One of the knights who served Zelesi. I thought he died during the Great War, but it seems he’s been turned into a puppet and kept around.]

 

Defeat Zelesi’s puppet. That was the content of the trial. But there was one strange thing.

 

‘The outfit is identical.’

 

The puppet’s outfit was perfectly identical to Kang Jun-hyeok’s. Even down to the sword it held in its hand.

 

But there was no time to leisurely assess the situation. The puppet immediately charged at Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Kaaaang!

 

Sword clashed against sword. From a single exchange, Kang Jun-hyeok immediately realized.

 

‘Its strength and speed are exactly the same as mine.’

 

They matched perfectly without the slightest margin of error. The puppet thrust its sword at high speed. A sharp attack like a venomous sting.

 

It was probably the sword technique the puppet had wielded in life. It was far superior skill than Kang Jun-hyeok’s.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok quickly assessed the situation.

 

Strength and speed were equal. The opponent had the advantage in technique.

 

Then he would respond with skills.

 

[Spear Throwing.]

 

A spear traced an arc as it flew toward the puppet. He immediately kicked off the ground, attempting to attack alongside the spear.

 

A simultaneous attack from two directions. Defense would be difficult. Somehow a gap would be revealed, and he planned to exploit it.

 

[[Spear Throwing.]]

 

At that moment, a spear shot out from the puppet.

 

It collided with the flying spear and they canceled each other out.

 

The puppet had activated a skill. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened. The puppet immediately thrust its sword forward.

 

[[Thrust.]]

 

With a sharp sound, the sword tip aimed for his heart. He hastily raised his shield.

 

Claaang!

 

His body shook. The defense was successful. But the opponent’s attack didn’t stop. Thrust was activated once more.

 

Claaaang!

 

“Kugh!”

 

With a groan, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was pushed back. He scraped his sword against the floor to barely resist.

 

Scraaaape!

 

“…What the hell. This is.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok straightened his posture and frowned.

 

It wasn’t simply activating skills. The power and proficiency all matched his perfectly.

 

That puppet was currently in a state where it had copied everything Kang Jun-hyeok had gained while climbing the Tower.

 

“I can see what you’re thinking.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the altar beyond the puppet.

 

The abilities and power you gained while climbing the Tower.

 

All of that is nothing more than what was given to you.

 

You are not special, merely recipients of the Master of the Universe’s mercy.

 

If we had.

 

If we had that power, we could climb the Tower better.

 

We could change the past.

 

That was Zelesi’s jealousy.

 

Claaang!

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was pushed backward. The opponent’s abilities matched Kang Jun-hyeok’s perfectly. The only difference was sword technique. Kang Jun-hyeok possessed Manbyeonggi’s sword technique, but he was still inexperienced. He couldn’t defeat someone the Great God had personally made into a believer.

 

Objectively, the opponent was stronger than Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Zelesi was watching with delight. She appeared to be anticipating Kang Jun-hyeok’s miserable defeat.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok looked disappointed.

 

“What? This is all?”

 

* * *

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was disappointed.

 

At that emotion, Zelesi was momentarily flustered.

 

The puppet he created perfectly matched Kang Jun-hyeok. With the only difference being sword technique, where the puppet had the advantage, there should have been no chance of victory for him.

 

But he’s disappointed?

 

The confusion soon turned to anger.

 

Arrogant.

 

The reason such arrogance was possible was entirely because the Tower had granted them power.

 

I hate you all.

 

Following its master’s emotions, the puppet immediately moved.

 

[[Stealth.]]

 

The puppet’s body completely disappeared. It instantly closed the distance, trying to drive its sword into Kang Jun-hyeok’s neck.

 

[Block.]

 

At that moment, the sword moved. It perfectly blocked the invisible attack.

 

Zelesi was momentarily confused. How? The stealth should have been perfectly erased from the world.

 

That thought wasn’t wrong. The Stealth Skill completely erases one from the world for 1 second.

 

However, the Block skill defends against attacks that even the Player cannot block.

 

Even invisible attacks.

 

[Stealth.]

 

This time Kang Jun-hyeok activated stealth. His form was concealed. The puppet reflexively responded exactly like Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[[Block.]]

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t attack while stealth was active. He quietly moved behind the puppet. As soon as the Block skill’s effect ended, he immediately thrust his sword.

 

Kagagagak!

 

The puppet reflexively twisted its body, but the sword strike grazed its shoulder.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok tried to continue pressing the attack. The puppet activated Instant Acceleration to respond. At that moment, Kang Jun-hyeok created distance.

 

The puppet belatedly tried to switch to offense, but the duration of Instant Acceleration had ended.

 

[Spear Throwing.]

 

Not missing that opening, a spear flew forth. The puppet hastily defended.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok began pressing his advantage in an instant. Confusion filled Zelesi’s gaze. Eldyria muttered.

 

[You made a mistake. It seems like a trial to prove that the power received as a Player is everything… but that was the wrong answer.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s abilities as a Player were exceptional.

 

Another Player had once come to her domain.

 

He was certainly a stronger Player than Kang Jun-hyeok, but he had overcome him with pure skill utilization and sense alone. Simply copying such a Kang Jun-hyeok could never lead to victory.

 

[It would have been harder if you had made him lose everything instead. No, wait. This guy would have won anyway.]

 

Kaaaang!

 

Kang Jun-hyeok continued his relentless assault.

 

Battles between Players were like card games.

 

Drawing out each other’s good cards with weaker cards, or consuming them to create favorable situations was the path to victory.

 

Chwaralak!

 

[[Crack Movement.]]

 

The puppet used Crack Movement to approach behind Kang Jun-hyeok’s back. Using repulsion to push him away, then thrusting its sword. The puppet activated repulsion for defense.

 

[Crack Movement.]

 

He forcibly pushes his body being pushed back through Crack Movement.

 

Both consumed the same skill, but Kang Jun-hyeok’s situation was better. He gains advantage step by step as if strategically conquering.

 

He kicks off and thrusts his sword. The puppet defends. He activates Air Jump and thrusts once more. That too is barely defended.

 

[Balance.]

 

He resolves the repulsion with a skill and drives his sword into its neck.

 

Kwajijik.

 

Finally, the puppet can no longer endure and collapses. Kang Jun-hyeok sheathes his sword.

 

[Level Up.]

 

[Health + 20]

 

[Strength + 1]

 

[Speed + 1]

 

[Crack Movement proficiency has increased.]

 

[Thrust proficiency has increased.]

 

[Spear Throwing…]

 

“That was too easy.”

 

To think this was the trial. Zelesi lacked the qualifications as a Player.

 

Zelesi did not refute. He quietly kept his mouth shut.

 

He had no choice but to acknowledge it.

 

That Kang Jun-hyeok had sufficiently proven his qualifications as a Player.

 

But precisely because of that.

 

Because of that, he envies him even more.

 

Why only you.

 

Why are only you special.

 

If we had been given the chance, we could have become like you too.

 

Do you really think you can reach that end?

 

Zelesi felt like he was going insane. Extreme jealousy devours the god.

 

Finally, Zelesi made his decision.

 

To sacrifice himself.

 

[Zelesi, God of Jealousy, proposes one more trial to you.]

 

[Condition: Pass the trial.]

 

[Reward: Zelesi’s Divine Authority.]
