All Master of 100 Floors Episode 114

 

21st Floor. God of Jealousy. Zelesi (2)

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.

 

“One more trial?”

 

He had clearly cleared one trial, yet another trial was being presented.

 

But thinking about it, it wasn’t impossible. The 21st Floor’s Quest was to pass through trials. There was no limit on the number of times. Manbyeonggi quietly explained.

 

[The beings established in the Tower are guaranteed a certain degree of autonomy over their floors. Just as I gave you an almost impossible Quest, they can modify or add trial content.]

 

“I see.”

 

[But it’s definitely beyond the scope. They might receive penalties. They must really dislike you.]

 

“Hmm.”

 

[You can refuse if you want. You’ve already cleared one trial. There shouldn’t be any problem clearing the floor. Well, you probably won’t refuse anyway.]

 

“You know me well.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok grinned and nodded.

 

“I accept.”

 

The God of Jealousy also smiles. As if saying, let’s see you endure this. His Divine Authority strikes Kang Jun-hyeok. The world shakes and collapses.

 

And at the end of it all, Kang Jun-hyeok was thrown into the Black World.

 

‘…What?’

 

He couldn’t move.

 

He couldn’t see.

 

His senses were paralyzed.

 

As he waited quietly, his senses slowly began to return. But something was different.

 

‘This is.’

 

Jet Black Armor wrapped around a robust body. He could feel the sensation of breathing, and muscles were tensing as if nervous.

 

This wasn’t his body.

 

While he was confused, someone beside him spoke.

 

“What are you thinking about, Alessandro.”

 

The other person called Kang Jun-hyeok Alessandro.

 

The Free Knight from the 3rd Floor that he had faced and defeated. They were referring to Alessandro.

 

Only then did Kang Jun-hyeok realize. That he was now dwelling within Alessandro’s body.

 

‘Possession?’

 

But the body wouldn’t move. Alessandro’s mouth opened beyond his will.

 

“I was meditating for a moment.”

 

“Get your head together, Alessandro. Our mission is to protect this territory.”

 

The other person said quietly.

 

“If we’re pushed back from this territory, several galaxies will fall into their hands. We must win.”

 

Terrible things could be seen in the distance of space. Things not born in this universe. Broken and twisted, wrong things.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok knew what those things were.

 

Those were none other than the Victors.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok finally realized.

 

This was a memory from the past.

 

Before the universe belonged to The Defeated Ones, when the Victors were the invaders.

 

It was a memory from the time of the Great War.

 

* * *

 

‘Is it showing me memories of the past?’

 

What was Zelesi’s intention? Before he could think it through, Alessandro gripped his sword. He could feel emotions of struggle and determination. As if Kang Jun-hyeok himself had participated in the Great War.

 

“We will be victorious. For the universe!”

 

“For the universe!”

 

“Let’s defeat those filthy invaders!”

 

Countless strong warriors behind them shouted. The invaders on the other side charged forward. A battle that would shake the universe began.

 

Crackle. Crackle crackle.

 

At that moment, the world distorted as if static was interfering with a TV. The battle was quickly skipped and the result appeared.

 

“Cough!”

 

Alessandro coughed up blood. His limbs were twisted and broken. Countless strong warriors lay scattered as corpses. The one who had been speaking to him was also horribly mangled and destroyed.

 

They had been defeated in the war.

 

“Ah, aah. Aaaah…”

 

A groan filled with despair flowed out. The world began to crumble in the hands of the invaders. Alessandro. The universe he loved, the freedom he loved was being destroyed and collapsing.

 

“No. No. This can’t be happening!”

 

Alessandro shouted while coughing up blood.

 

Despair.

 

Helplessness.

 

Defeat.

 

All the emotions Alessandro had experienced at that time became a tsunami that swallowed Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Crackle crackle.

 

And once again static interfered as time passed quickly.

 

The emotions felt this time were despair and defeat.

 

And determination.

 

“Hmm.”

 

A girl was sitting in front of Alessandro. Someone with long, flowing black hair.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok knew that girl.

 

The girl was Earth’s Administrator.

 

“So, you want me to give you a chance?”

 

“…Please, Administrator.”

 

“Why should I?”

 

The Administrator tilted her head. Her face truly showed she didn’t understand why she should. Alessandro slowly bent his knees. He placed his hands on the floor and bowed his head.

 

“Please, Administrator. Please show mercy and grant me just one chance.”

 

To those who had been enemies of the universe, he had to bow his head and humble himself. Humiliation and despair covered his limbs. The girl who had been watching Alessandro for a moment grinned wickedly.

 

“You want my mercy, is that it?”

 

The Administrator extends her white foot. Alessandro’s eyes waver for a moment as he realizes the meaning. But swallowing all emotions, he slowly approaches the girl’s foot. The great Free Knight who served no one lays down everything.

 

“You’re really going to do it? Disgusting.”

 

And even that resolve is trampled upon.

 

The Administrator giggles and pushes Alessandro away with her foot.

 

“Fine. I’ll give you a chance. Whether you achieve it or not depends on your will.”

 

The Administrator who said this wore a twisted smile.

 

Alessandro realized it. The Administrator was mocking him and treating him like a toy. His wish would never come true.

 

But even so

 

One in a thousand. One in ten thousand. One in a hundred million miracle.

 

He cannot give up. He accepts the opportunity with unbreakable will.

 

At the end of that path, Alessandro killed countless Players.

 

The loser of the past broke with his own hands those who tried to move forward for the future.

 

Though regret and despair endlessly wrap around his body, he cannot give up. He will save the universe once again.

 

But in the end, he died at Kang Jun-hyeok’s hands.

 

Despair. Regret. Lamentation.

 

All the emotions Alessandro felt, a flood of emotions that would drive even a high monk who practiced spiritual cultivation insane dozens of times, endlessly assault Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Bzzzzzzt.

 

Once again, noise interfered with the world. This time it wasn’t Alessandro. Silver hair and red eyes were visible.

 

The Vampire Queen. It was Eldyria.

 

“Aah. Aaaaah! Aaaaaaaah!”

 

She was letting out screams as if the world had ended. She wailed with a face full of despair.

 

“My world. My people!”

 

Crunch. Crackle.

 

A giant tree was devouring the planet. The planet that had become nutrients shriveled and collapsed. Countless lives disappeared in an instant within it.

 

“You! You! You bastard! Stop it!”

 

Eldyria shakes her body with all her might. A Blood Tsunami rises. The Divine Authority that overturns and stains all things rushes toward the tree taking root.

 

Rustle.

 

A branch sways once. An intense wave strikes Eldyria. She is sent flying and spits blood.

 

“Cough! Cough!”

 

Both soul and body suffer great damage. She should immediately rest and recover, but she grits her teeth and raises her head. She looks at the tree destroying her domain.

 

“…You. You. I will definitely kill you! I’ll make you regret daring to touch me!”

 

Giggle..

 

Laughter is heard in response to her cry. Laughter filled with mockery, as if saying go ahead and try.

 

She retreats with intense hostility and anger.

 

And she was corrupted by the Tower.

 

Players who saw her past and fell into delusion came seeking emotions with desperate pleas. At first she tried to persuade them with kind words and drove them away, but they wouldn’t listen. Eventually she couldn’t contain her emotions and began killing.

 

Anger and despair. And regret. Then anger again.

 

All those emotions fade with the passage of time.

 

All of that strikes Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

Crackle.

 

The world distorts once again, and this time the figure of a muscular man appears.

 

‘Manbyeonggi.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok could instinctively tell. That man was Manbyeonggi’s past life.

 

Manbyeonggi, who had been gazing at the sky, reaches out his hand. He clenches his fist.

 

The sky crumbles and ripples.

 

A great power that destroys the world itself unfolds.

 

But nothing is accomplished. The things that devoured the world simply erase Manbyeonggi’s power.

 

Manbyeonggi slowly lowers his hand. Infinite helplessness overwhelms him.

 

The pasts of those he had faced, those who had relationships with him, unfold one by one.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok realized Zelesi’s scheme.

 

Those who were great.

 

Those who once ruled the universe.

 

Transcendents, gods.

 

He shows their pasts directly. And makes him experience those emotions firsthand.

 

Crackle.

 

His vision distorts again. This time it was none other than Zelesi himself.

 

The first thing he felt was helplessness.

 

The despair of having everything taken away despite ruling the world as a god.

 

The next thing he feels is jealousy.

 

Hateful.

 

So very hateful.

 

What are you?

 

How did you suddenly appear and steal our world?

 

That power and foreignness is hateful. You who dared to usurp our place are so very hateful.

 

The emotions of the god who governs the concept of jealousy completely overwhelm Kang Jun-hyeok. It’s pressure that would easily tear apart a human soul.

 

[We were defeated.]

 

A quiet voice echoes.

 

[We waged war, and were ultimately defeated. The ownership of the universe was stolen from us and we fell to become their playthings.]

 

That is the history of the universe.

 

[We were strong. We had the power to rule the entire universe. Those beside you were also once beings who shook the universe. But even we were miserably defeated and became this wretched state.]

 

The gloomy voice doesn’t stop.

 

[You were given an opportunity. But that opportunity is ultimately nothing more than a joke. Just like Alessandro, that ending is predetermined. Even so, do you believe you can move forward? Do you truly believe you can change the world at the end of this?]

 

Look.

 

We were greater than you.

 

We were stronger than you.

 

Even we were ultimately broken and defeated.

 

These are the things you will face.

 

Do you truly believe you can accomplish it?

 

Zelesi was asking this.

 

To that question, Kang Jun-hyeok answered.

 

“Is this all there is?”

 

Zelesi hesitated for a moment. He had shown their memories and emotions in their entirety. But Kang Jun-hyeok’s voice was remarkably calm. He belatedly looked at Kang Jun-hyeok’s face.

 

[….]

 

In that moment, Zelesi was at a loss for words.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok wore an expression of utter boredom.
