All Master of 100 Floors Episode 116

 

Special Event, Endurance (1)

 

An empty space with nothing in it existed.

 

A heterogeneous space where neither time axis nor space axis existed.

 

In this twisted space where life could not exist, she was rolling around.

 

With her pitch-black hair disheveled like a mess, she flailed her small body about.

 

She was Earth’s Administrator.

 

The Administrator let out a groan like a scream.

 

“Ueeeeek…”

 

Her face was filled with boredom.

 

“I’m bored…”

 

She had nothing to do right now.

 

The only time she could intervene on Earth was during tests, but the 2nd test had only recently ended. There was nothing suitable to do until the 3rd test began.

 

“I’m even tired of watching the Universe…”

 

She wanted to intervene directly.

 

She wanted to play pranks.

 

She wanted to play.

 

She who had been blankly staring into the air suddenly shot up.

 

“I can just intervene directly, can’t I?”

 

Her eyes lit up. It was the pure gaze of a child who would tear off a toy’s arms and break its body.

 

“I should create an event.”

 

A very fun, enjoyable event.

 

She giggled and snapped her fingers.

 

* * *

 

[Congratulations. Your Achievement stat has reached 100. This is a remarkable Achievement!]

 

[We will provide you with special benefits according to your Achievement.]

 

[Achievement 100 Completion Reward.]

 

[You can raise the grade of one skill by one level.]

 

[Skills that can have their grade raised are up to Intermediate level.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok bared his teeth.

 

The reward obtained upon reaching Achievement 100 was the elevation of a skill’s grade.

 

For example, he could upgrade his Intermediate Active Skill Instant Acceleration to an Advanced Active Skill.

 

Naturally, its value was beyond words. The gap between skill grades was enormous.

 

Right now, the Low Grade attack Active Skill was Thrust, while the Intermediate attack Active Skill was Sword Energy Wind Blade. Both their power and range were on completely different levels.

 

He could raise such a skill’s grade by one level.

 

Of course, there weren’t no restrictions. The skills that could be upgraded were limited to intermediate level. It was impossible to upgrade advanced skills to supreme level or anything like that. In his previous life, he had been quite disappointed by this restriction.

 

‘But not this time.’

 

Among the skills he currently possessed, excluding Divine Authority and unique skills, the highest-ranked skill was an intermediate skill. It was practically a non-existent disadvantage.

 

And the skill to upgrade was already decided.

 

“Arcana Gem Magic.”

 

The value of Arcana Gem Magic was extremely high. As it was the best magic he could use at this point, it was most suitable for upgrading.

 

[Arcana Gem Magic has been upgraded from Intermediate to Advanced rank.]

 

[Passive Skill: Arcana Gem Magic]

 

[Rank: Advanced]

 

[Proficiency: C]

 

[Magic that uses gems created by Tia Lilinetth as catalysts. This magic has reached a higher level. Mana consumption when using magic is almost nonexistent. Does not require magical talent. Can use gems as catalysts to amplify and control the power contained within them to near perfection.]

 

The skill description stated that it had reached a higher level. Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.

 

“Not bad.”

 

He had finally obtained an advanced skill.

 

Considering that he had acquired an advanced skill after the 50th Floor in his previous life, this was more than twice as fast.

 

After processing the reward, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie. Having seen the memories of the 21st Floor, she let out a groan.

 

[Showing our memories? Zelesi. That bastard did something insane. Fortunately, my memories aren’t there.]

 

Pixie, who let out a sigh of relief, looked at Kang Jun-hyeok as if finding it strange.

 

[But… aren’t you too unaffected? I thought even you would be somewhat influenced.]

 

The memories of their defeat.

 

They were despairing and terrible.

 

Even Pixie, who had read Kang Jun-hyeok’s memories, felt slightly chilled.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok was extremely calm.

 

Emotions that even she, who had given up and let go of everything, couldn’t laugh off, he had cleared as if completely unaffected. Wonder appeared on her face.

 

[If it’s you… if it’s you, really, perhaps.]

 

Pixie swallowed her remaining words and waved her finger.

 

[Take it.]

 

[280 Starlight.]

 

“Thanks.”

 

Having finished processing everything, Kang Jun-hyeok picked up his cell phone.

 

March 21st, 2031.

 

Winter was passing and spring was arriving.

 

‘It’s about time.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes grew serious.

 

A few hours later.

 

A heterogeneous system window appeared before them.

 

[Earth Notice.]

 

[Hello! Kids!]

 

* * *

 

The notice appeared literally out of nowhere.

 

A heterogeneous notice unlike any before, filled with childish mischief and malice. Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression showed he knew what was coming.

 

[I’m Earth’s Administrator. You’ve all probably seen me before.]

 

[It’s not about anything else, but there’s quite a bit of time left between the end of the 2nd test and the 3rd test. So I’m really bored right now, you know? Watching you guys isn’t fun anymore.]

 

[So I created a special event!]

 

[The special event is an individual event, not a group one.]

 

[Do your best! If you win, good rewards await. It’ll start in 3 days from now. Everyone, good luck!]

 

People who saw the notice couldn’t properly understand its contents and were stunned. Some were so confused they wondered if they were dreaming.

 

But the system window that appeared shortly after cruelly informed them it was reality.

 

[Ah. But just giving rewards would be too boring, so I’ll add one penalty.]

 

[The bottom 10% in this event will die! Work hard!]

 

A moment of silence.

 

Then chaos arrived. Screams and cries mixed with confusion began to be heard from around Kang Jun-hyeok’s house. Manbyeonggi let out a groan.

 

[What is this?]

 

“It seems an event is scheduled to proceed.”

 

[But it’s strange.]

 

Manbyeonggi’s tone showed incomprehension.

 

[It was an Earth notice, not a universe notice. And as far as I know, such events don’t exist between tests. Above all, the tone of the notice was heterogeneous.]

 

“Then it must be one thing.”

 

[Earth’s Administrator’s independent decision.]

 

There were multiple administrators. They each had their own thoughts, ideologies, and personalities.

 

Earth’s Administrator was among them, an administrator with a considerably twisted personality. Twisted enough to hold events based solely on personal whims and prejudices. Realizing this fact, Manbyeonggi let out a hollow laugh.

 

[We’re stuck with a strange one.]

 

“But it’s also an opportunity.”

 

This event would only proceed for Earth.

 

It meant that depending on performance, he could obtain rewards that others couldn’t get.

 

For that, preparation was necessary.

 

“I wonder if it’s about ready. Blacksmith.”

 

Kiiing.

 

Space opened. As he crossed over, hot heat and the sound of hammering rang out. The blacksmith raised his head.

 

“You’ve come.”

 

“Is it complete?”

 

“Yes.”

 

It had been 10 days since he last visited the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith brought out the equipment.

 

“This is the equipment you requested. Take a look.”

 

* * *

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had commissioned the Blacksmith to craft equipment.

 

Equipment made using Void Gems and Eternal Gems.

 

And that crafting was finally complete. Kang Jun-hyeok slowly received the equipment.

 

“An orb?”

 

“That seemed like the cleanest form.”

 

It was an orb of extremely strange form. The Void Gem was condensed in the center like a black hole. And fragments of the Eternal Gem floated around it like satellites.

 

An extremely strange appearance. And an eerie feeling.

 

His Intuition told him.

 

This would be the best equipment he had obtained in this life.

 

[Orb of Eternity]

 

[Type: Weapon]

 

[Grade: Superior]

 

[Magic Power + 50]

 

[Equipment Ability: Can store gems infinitely. Stored gems accumulate mana and are refined to high purity. The longer they are stored in the orb, the more mana and purity increase.]

 

[Created by combining Void Gems, Eternal Gems, and Magic Tower equipment by the Heaven-Gifted Blacksmith. He is a blacksmith, not an enchanter. He cannot create new abilities. But he was sufficient to perfectly bring out the abilities of the materials.]

 

“Ooh.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t contain himself and let out an exclamation.

 

This was Superior Grade Equipment.

 

And it had quite a unique equipment ability.

 

“Storage of gems.”

 

“The power of Void Gems can contain all things in the world. And Eternal Gems supply energy almost eternally. When these two abilities are maximized, this kind of ability emerges.”

 

The Blacksmith grumbled as if making excuses.

 

Storage and refinement of gems.

 

For ordinary Players, this was a completely useless ability. From the Blacksmith’s perspective, he couldn’t help but think he had taken materials and created equipment with no use.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok expressed sincere gratitude.

 

“Very, very grateful.”

 

He had Arcana Gem Magic. He was a Player who could use this equipment’s ability better than anyone.

 

Contrary to expectations, when Kang Jun-hyeok showed genuine joy, the Blacksmith hesitated for a moment. Soon he quickly erased his emotions and put on the same confident expression as before.

 

“Come visit again next time. I’ll make you something like this again.”

 

“Yes. Thank you.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok noticed that emotional change but didn’t mention it and expressed his thanks.

 

Returning to Earth, he immediately headed to the Training Ground. There he took out the gems.

 

He had used all the gems to clear the 19th Floor.

 

And after that, he received additional gems through Baekdusan and Kim Tae-yeon.

 

However, unlike before, their quality and size had dropped infinitely. If he were to appraise their value, they would only be worth 1/10th of the original. If he used them as they were, even with his skill’s grade having increased, he wouldn’t be able to produce even half the power he had wielded before.

 

He put those gems into the Orb of Eternity.

 

And 12 hours later. Kang Jun-hyeok, who took the gems back out, was amazed.

 

“The purity has definitely increased.”

 

The color of the gems that had been murky became clear. Not only that, but the amount and quality of mana contained within them had also increased.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been fiddling with the gems for a moment, grabbed a ruby among them and threw it. The magic formula activated, and an explosion occurred.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

The training ground shook violently. Cracks appeared in the wall and the ceiling was about to collapse. Kang Jun-hyeok, who confirmed the power, whistled.

 

“So this is the extent of it.”

 

The power had noticeably increased.

 

Combined with the orb’s own magical power and the effects of Arcana Gem Magic that had risen to advanced level, it was comparable to the high-purity gems he had first received.

 

Obtaining gems themselves wasn’t difficult.

 

What was difficult was obtaining high-purity gems.

 

Considering that, the Orb of Eternity was an absolutely excellent piece of equipment that could be used continuously.

 

Moreover, there was no limit to storing gems. He could store and refine gems as soon as he obtained them.

 

And one more thing.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok gazed intently at the orb.

 

[The longer stored within the orb, the more mana and purity increase.]

 

The orb’s description.

 

‘There’s no mention of any particular limit.’

 

Then, to what level could they be refined as time passed?

 

Kang Jun-hyeok placed one ruby deep inside the orb.

 

He didn’t know when it would be, but the day to use it would come.

 

All preparations were complete. Time slowly passed.

 

And finally, the special event began.
