All Master of 100 Floors Episode 115

 

21st Floor. God of Jealousy. Zelesi (3)

 

Despair over defeat. And grief.

 

Those emotions were certainly terrible.

 

Even great Transcendents and Gods couldn’t endure them and eventually faded away. Just facing fragments of such emotions would cause collapse. One would crumble and fall. He had accepted three people’s worth of such emotions all at once.

 

It was no different from poison.

 

Poison that could kill thousands of enlightened high monks and still have power left over.

 

But despite being injected with such poison, Kang Jun-hyeok remained utterly calm.

 

‘How surprising at this point.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was the same as the Defeated Ones.

 

He had been defeated.

 

He had failed to save the universe and fallen miserably.

 

No. He was more terrible than them. He hadn’t even been able to do his best. Foolish and stupid, he had yielded the power he should have taken to others.

 

Rather, Kang Jun-hyeok was envious.

 

You were able to do your best.

 

You could stake everything and fight, achieving defeat without regret.

 

I couldn’t do that. It was because of nothing other than my own foolishness.

 

[…?]

 

Despite facing despair, Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression remained unchanged. Zelesi was flustered. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke quietly.

 

“Jealousy. It’s not a wrong emotion.”

 

He had failed just like them.

 

But thanks to Milarepa High Monk, he had gained one more chance. In that sense, Zelesi’s jealousy was certainly justified.

 

“So this time for sure.”

 

He wouldn’t do anything he’d regret ever again.

 

He would challenge with all his might and fight with dignity.

 

Despite facing the despair of the Defeated Ones, Kang Jun-hyeok strengthened his resolve. Zelesi was at a loss for words. She just stared at him blankly.

 

At that moment.

 

The real Kang Jun-hyeok was trapped in a dark space. Manbyeonggi muttered.

 

[It’s mental interference. Planning to break his spirit. I don’t know what it’ll show him, but it won’t be easy.]

 

Zelesi had used her Divine Authority as bait. It meant she planned to break Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[What do you think will happen?]

 

[Kang Jun-hyeok saw the Root-Growing Tree with his own eyes yet wasn’t affected at all. There’s no way he’d be influenced by mental attacks now.]

 

[I acknowledge that part too. But Zelesi will probably target a different aspect.]

 

[A different aspect?]

 

[This guy is definitely special. He was fine even after seeing the Root-Growing Tree. But that’s thanks to his confidence in himself. And his faith in the future.]

 

I can win against that thing.

 

I may be weak now, but someday I’ll become strong enough to break it.

 

It was because of that faith and will that he remained unbroken. Manbyeonggi judged it to be so.

 

[Zelesi will try to break that faith. That your confidence is nothing. He’ll show you a miserable reality and try to crush your will. Since he knows better than anyone about such methods, it won’t be easy even for Kang Jun-hyeok.]

 

[…Nonsense.]

 

Eldyria denied Manbyeonggi’s words. But there was a faint anxiety in her voice. The God of Jealousy was certainly powerful and skilled at achieving his will.

 

‘Surely he won’t be broken by something like this.’

 

Didn’t you say you would achieve revenge for me?

 

Didn’t you say you would carry out my will?

 

Those words mean you haven’t forgotten the promise you made to me, right?

 

The moment anxious emotions arose, the space surrounding Kang Jun-hyeok’s body began to shatter. It meant the trial was over. Eldyria’s voice immediately brightened.

 

[Haha. Look, Manbyeonggi. What did I tell you? Didn’t I say this guy is special!]

 

[It’s over already?]

 

Manbyeonggi was surprised. Zelesi had been trying to break Kang Jun-hyeok’s mind. Since a god was directly interfering, he thought it would take at least a month, or several years at most.

 

But it ended in just a few minutes?

 

Was the trial easier than expected?

 

Or.

 

Craaack!

 

The space shattered and Kang Jun-hyeok revealed himself. Waves shook in all directions. After catching his breath for a moment, he opened his eyes. There wasn’t a trace of wavering in those pupils.

 

[Mental Immunity proficiency has increased from D to C.]

 

[Mental Immunity proficiency has increased from C to B.]

 

[Mental Immunity proficiency has greatly increased.]

 

Eldyria spoke in a gentle voice.

 

[You’ve returned. I believed you would succeed.]

 

[What happened?]

 

“First, wait a moment. Later.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the altar. The altar’s energy was swaying as if disturbed.

 

“Your jealousy and anger. I understood them. In some ways, they could be seen as righteous. But I will not give up.”

 

He would reverse the wrong choices and reclaim the universe. His unwavering will directed toward Zelesi. Zelesi, who had been silent, slowly opened his mouth.

 

[I hate you.]

 

That was jealousy.

 

Endlessly sunken jealousy, like an abyss.

 

[I hate you. I hate. I hate you so much…]

 

The voice slowly faded away. Zelesi’s presence disappeared, and the Quest ended.

 

[Trial Clear.]

 

[21st Floor Quest Clear.]

 

[Compensation will be determined according to your performance.]

 

[Checking achievement rate…]

 

[Check complete.]

 

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

 

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be granted.]

 

[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]

 

[2,679 Gold has been granted.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [Necklace: Zelesi’s Jealousy] has been obtained.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [Active Skill: Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear] has been obtained.]

 

[Players who Perfect Cleared the 21st Floor: 1 person.]

 

[You are alone!]

 

[Universe Announcement.]

 

[Please congratulate them! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 21st Floor has appeared. This is a feat that no one has achieved until now!]

 

[Great Achievement + 3]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok returned to Earth.

 

* * *

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had returned to Earth, slowly settled into his chair. Eldyria couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked.

 

[What kind of trial did Zelesi impose on you?]

 

“It wasn’t much.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok told them about the trial’s contents. Manbyeonggi and Eldyria were flustered after hearing the explanation.

 

[He showed you our failures?]

 

[…Zelesi. That crazy bastard!]

 

Eldyria exploded in anger. Even though she was beyond dimensions, the space momentarily shook.

 

“There were no detailed memories. Alessandro, Manbyeonggi and Eldyria. And he injected into me the emotions that the God of Jealousy himself felt in the past.”

 

[How dare he defile others’ memories with his dirty feet. I want to kill him, but I’m stuck in the Tower so I can’t. It’s endlessly irritating.]

 

Eldyria clicked her tongue with killing intent. Manbyeonggi, who had been silent for a moment, slowly spoke.

 

[So you’re saying that even after experiencing our emotions, you solved it in just a few minutes.]

 

[…Ah.]

 

Eldyria, who belatedly realized the meaning, hesitated. Kang Jun-hyeok nodded.

 

“That would be correct.”

 

[Well now. Where did such a thing come from?]

 

“It wasn’t entirely easy.”

 

Defeat and despair.

 

These were emotions he hadn’t felt in a long time. Memories of regret and failure came flooding back.

 

The feeling wasn’t particularly pleasant.

 

But because of that, he was able to steel his resolve once again.

 

He will be victorious.

 

Without regret, he will move toward the correct answer. He clenched his fist.

 

[Passive Skill: Mental Immunity]

 

[Grade: Lowest]

 

[Proficiency: B]

 

[Near-absolute immunity to mental attacks and damage. Interference techniques such as illusions and brainwashing also do not work.]

 

The proficiency of his Mental Immunity skill had reached B.

 

It was the second skill to reach B in this life. Having directly experienced the emotions of Transcendents, it was only natural. It would have been strange if it hadn’t reached A.

 

Immunity to mental attacks was something he already possessed, so it was useless, but now he could also exclude techniques involving illusions and brainwashing.

 

[Necklace: Zelesi’s Jealousy]

 

[Part: Necklace]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Strength + 3 ~ 5]

 

[Speed + 3 ~ 5]

 

[Defense + 5 ~ 8]

 

[Equipment Ability: The higher your opponent’s abilities are compared to yours, the more the necklace’s stats increase.]

 

[A relic made containing Zelesi’s emotion of jealousy. It harbors jealousy toward all things in the world. If worn by a weak person, they would be consumed by jealous emotions and become a wreck.]

 

The stats increased the more superior the opponent was. Considering he wouldn’t struggle against equal opponents, it was essentially a necklace with 5 Strength, 5 Speed, and 8 Defense. These were remarkably high values.

 

[Active Skill: Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear]

 

[Grade: Divine Authority]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 3 days]

 

[Throws a spear imbued with the Authority of Envy. It possesses powerful physical force and shakes the emotions of those it directly hits. The higher your opponent’s status compared to yours, the stronger their power compared to yours, the more the spear’s might increases.]

 

“Very fitting for the God of Jealousy.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh. Both the relic and Divine Authority were effective against superior opponents. It was also the effect he needed most right now.

 

The Perfect Player effect was +2 to achievements. It was an excellent effect. Though it didn’t mean much to Kang Jun-hyeok at the moment.

 

Lying on the bed, Kang Jun-hyeok reflected on the memories the God of Jealousy had shown him.

 

‘Alessandro.’

 

A renowned Free Knight.

 

The one who mocked him and offered him false opportunities was none other than Earth’s Administrator.

 

This was information even Kang Jun-hyeok hadn’t known.

 

‘Her personality really is terrible.’

 

Earth’s Administrator was full of whims and irritation. She enjoyed toying with people and had little patience.

 

‘…Come to think of it.’

 

The Administrator’s whims.

 

It had once created a massive event.

 

A capricious event that drew in all Players on Earth.

 

That time was slowly approaching. He would need to prepare.

 

“Ah. Right. This was still left.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered as if something had suddenly occurred to him.

 

“Status Window.”

 

[Kang Jun-hyeok]

 

[Level : 29]

 

[Health : 990]

 

[Strength : 70]

 

[Speed : 64]

 

[Internal Energy : 21]

 

[Mana : 16]

 

[Achievement : 104]

 

[Attack Power + ? + 4]

 

[Defense + 61]

 

His health was just before reaching one thousand. His strength and speed had surpassed 50, and his Internal Energy and Mana were also not low.

 

‘This is still only the 21st Floor.’

 

Looking at it, the numbers naturally brought a smile to his face.

 

And among them, there was one stat with the highest value.

 

It was the Achievement stat.

 

The Achievement stat was special among all stats. It was obtained by accomplishing feats while climbing the Tower, and it increased with every achievement made.

 

As such, unlike other stats, it was difficult to raise, and upon reaching certain thresholds, special rewards could be obtained.

 

Swoosh.

 

System windows began appearing one after another in front of Kang Jun-hyeok. He started checking them with a joyful smile.
