All Master of 100 Floors Episode 119

 

Special Event, Endurance (4)

 

The collapsed and desolate Red Wasteland.

 

A girl too beautiful and pure for such a place.

 

Paradoxically, she was the very being who had created this space. She looked at Kang Jun-hyeok and continuously exclaimed in admiration.

 

“Oh my, oh my. I believed in you! Yes! That’s how it should be! You had to do at least this much! That’s what makes you worthy of my interest!”

 

“…The Grim Reaper at the end. What was that about?”

 

He was clearly told he only needed to endure for one hour. But even after an hour had passed, the event didn’t end. That wasn’t all. An extraordinary being had appeared and tried to kill him.

 

The Administrator scratched her head sheepishly. Her long black hair swayed softly.

 

“Well. I created the event, but when I thought about it, I hadn’t made a termination system? The only way for the event to end was if the Player’s health reached 1. So I put in the Grim Reaper.”

 

A device that would inevitably kill the Player to end the event. That was exactly what the Grim Reaper was. The Administrator was rather surprised herself.

 

“I just threw it in carelessly to end things quickly. But you lasted 6 seconds? That’s really amazing!”

 

[Your pranks go too far, Administrator.]

 

Manbyeonggi spoke quietly to her as she made a fuss.

 

[The Grim Reaper’s rank was too high. If it weren’t for this guy, just facing that rank could have shattered his mind.]

 

“But that didn’t happen, did it? What’s the problem?”

 

The Administrator answered as if annoyed. Manbyeonggi was left speechless by her overly carefree attitude.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had an expression that said he knew this would happen.

 

Everything centered around her own interests. Nothing else had any value or meaning.

 

That was exactly what the Administrator was as a being. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.

 

“There was no problem.”

 

“Right. Even the person involved says there’s no problem. Don’t butt in. You’re just a loser.”

 

The Administrator giggled and patted Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder.

 

“But don’t worry! I’m not so conscienceless. I’ll give you compensation for that!”

 

The Administrator grabbed Kang Jun-hyeok’s shoulder. Her snow-white face came closer. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.

 

Smooch.

 

The Administrator kissed his cheek.

 

A soft sensation was felt through his skin.

 

The Administrator grinned mischievously. Her eyes contained playful goodwill.

 

“This is service! Let’s meet again next time!”

 

The world distorted. Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was transported to Earth.

 

[The special event has finally ended! It’s time for the rewards everyone has been waiting and waiting for!]

 

* * *

 

“Hmm.”

 

[…What is it.]

 

[The Administrator kissed this guy.]

 

[I saw that too. Did the Administrator always do such things?]

 

[I’m surprised as well.]

 

Manbyeonggi and Eldyria were flustered by the Administrator’s last action. And Kang Jun-hyeok felt the same way.

 

The Administrator was a puppet created by the Master of the Universe. She couldn’t be called a living being.

 

As such, to the Administrator, life was nothing more than toys. Sometimes interesting toys would appear, but they were merely playthings she could toy with.

 

But now, the Administrator had kissed his cheek.

 

‘This never happened even in my previous life.’

 

Did she have some affection for a toy she could play with? Or was it just a whim? He couldn’t understand. After pondering for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

 

There was nothing more useless than trying to guess the Administrator’s psychology. One thing was certain: the Administrator had deep interest and curiosity in him. That was enough. Having organized his thoughts, he slowly checked the rewards.

 

[First, what will be given are stats!]

 

[Stats will be awarded based on your achievements in this event!]

 

[Organizing…]

 

[Organization complete!]

 

[Stamina + 110]

 

[Strength + 5]

 

[Speed + 6]

 

[Internal Energy + 4]

 

[Mana + 4]

 

[Great Feat + 2]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok whistled at the stats that increased in succession. It didn’t end there.

 

[Then next, your skill proficiency will increase! If you’ve achieved something, you might even gain new skills!]

 

[Organizing…]

 

[Organization complete!]

 

[You have acquired Passive Skill: Death Line Awakening.]

 

[Observation proficiency has increased from C to B.]

 

[Charge proficiency has increased from F to E.]

 

[Arcana Gem Magic proficiency has increased.]

 

[ Divine Technique proficiency has increased.]

 

[ Mental Cultivation Method proficiency has increased.]

 

[True Ancestor Awakening proficiency has increased.]

 

[Sword Energy Wind Blade proficiency has…]

 

The proficiency of almost all the skills he possessed increased.

 

The rewards for special events were quite simple and straightforward.

 

Instead of giving special skills or rewards, they enhanced the existing stats and skills he already had.

 

That value was excellent. Stats were the foundation of everything. No matter how outstanding the skills or techniques one possessed, if the stats themselves were low, situations would arise where one ultimately couldn’t respond.

 

Most importantly, through special events, even difficult-to-raise stats like Internal Energy and Mana could be increased by high amounts.

 

‘Quite substantial.’

 

In his previous life, he had endured around the mid-10-minute mark.

 

The reward he obtained that way was Health + 30 and Strength + 2, and that was it. Even that was considered a top-tier reward compared to others.

 

But now, it was an incomparable stat increase from back then. On top of that, he had gained new skills and his proficiency had also increased.

 

[And lastly, Gold!]

 

[Based on the opponents you defeated and the time you endured, you’ll be given Gold accordingly!]

 

[Calculating…]

 

[Calculation complete!]

 

[15,000 Gold has been awarded.]

 

“So enduring for one hour was worth fifteen thousand Gold.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a chuckle. From one event, he had obtained Gold that would require four Perfect Clears to earn. But it wasn’t over yet.

 

A System Window appeared. A special System Window that didn’t appear to other Players, only to Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[And this is a special reward for you, who endured a whole 6 more seconds!]

 

[12,000 Gold has been awarded.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok paused.

 

[And unfortunately, the bottom 10% are eliminated! Well then, everyone work hard climbing the Tower!]

 

* * *

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been standing dazed, muttered.

 

“…It was 2,000 Gold per second.”

 

The time he had endured was 6 seconds. Calculating it that way, it matched perfectly. It was an exceptional reward.

 

‘Maybe I should have endured a bit longer.’

 

He felt somewhat regretful, but it couldn’t be helped. Enduring even 6 seconds against such an opponent was miraculous.

 

[Kang Jun-hyeok]

 

[Level: 29]

 

[Health: 1100]

 

[Strength: 75]

 

[Speed: 70]

 

[Internal Energy: 25]

 

[Mana: 20]

 

[Achievements: 106]

 

[Attack Power + ? + 4]

 

[Defense + 61]

 

His health had finally exceeded one thousand.

 

Not only that, but his strength and speed had also reached the 70s.

 

“I wonder if I can reach 100 before the 30th Floor.”

 

It was a laughable statement, but at this rate, it wasn’t impossible.

 

In his previous life, one of the criteria that distinguished top-tier Players was reaching 100 in stats.

 

He could already see a path to reaching that standard.

 

On top of that, he had also acquired a new skill.

 

[Passive Skill: Death Line Awakening]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[The awakening of life before death. The mind awakens in the crisis of death, enhancing the senses. Consciousness expands and all speed and strength increase.]

 

A skill that awakens before death. Death Line Awakening.

 

Tower skills were acquired based on a Player’s actions. Death Line Awakening could only be obtained after reaching the crisis of death multiple times and responding perfectly.

 

It was a skill that even most top-tier Players couldn’t acquire.

 

As such, it was powerful. Even in his previous life, it was a skill that had saved him from crisis countless times. The intermediate grade alone spoke to its value. This single skill was worth enduring those 6 seconds.

 

[Passive Skill: Observation]

 

[Grade: Lowest]

 

[Proficiency: B]

 

[The power to observe all things and find answers. Not just answers, but reasons, processes, and even operating principles. Everything can be understood. The essence of things can be seen.]

 

[Active Skill: Charge]

 

[Grade: Low Grade]

 

[Proficiency: E]

 

[Cooldown: 30 minutes]

 

[Charges powerfully toward the target. Affected by strength and speed stats, delivering a strong impact upon collision.]

 

Two skills had reached one level higher in proficiency. Additionally, the proficiency of almost all the skills he possessed had increased.

 

And then there was the Gold.

 

Honestly speaking, the biggest reward he gained from this event wasn’t the stats or proficiency, but the Gold.

 

27,000 Gold.

 

That was the event’s reward.

 

“Well, I’ll be.”

 

Even thinking about it again made him chuckle. 27,000 Gold. What was this? It was an amount of Gold that only Players who had surpassed the 50th Floor could accumulate. Combined with the Gold he already had, it exceeded 50,000 Gold.

 

‘With this.’

 

He could obtain it much faster than his calculations.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.

 

“Shop.”

 

Space opens and Pixie appears. Seeing Kang Jun-hyeok, she makes a surprised expression.

 

[What? You. Something’s different about you? It doesn’t seem like you climbed the Tower though?]

 

“The Administrator had a whim. I just finished one event.”

 

[Huh?]

 

Pixie made a strange expression.

 

[An event? There shouldn’t be any such schedule?]

 

“There wouldn’t be. It must have been an event conducted only on Earth.”

 

[…Ah.]

 

Understanding the meaning, Pixie clicked her tongue.

 

[So your planet’s Administrator independently organized an event. Administrators do have that level of autonomy, but it’s rare for them to actually do it. You’ve gotten stuck with quite a troublesome Administrator.]

 

“Troublesome, yes. But the rewards are solid.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok had grown stronger through the event. Strong enough for Pixie to immediately sense it. Pixie grinned.

 

[Troublesome and dangerous, but if you pull it off, rewards follow. From what I can see, you achieved considerable results. Congratulations. So calling me means you have something to request, right?]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok nodded. Pixie opened the shop with an excited face.

 

[What do you want? The Starlight you have is 730. You can buy decent skills or materials.]

 

“I’m not using Starlight.”

 

[Then you’ll use Gold? That’s good too. With the Gold you have now, you should be able to purchase an Intermediate Skill.]

 

“No.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

 

“Advanced Skill.”

 

Pixie hesitated.

 

[Uh. I understand your feelings, but right now it’s too expensive for you….]

 

“An Advanced Skill costs fifty thousand Gold, right? I have it.”

 

[What?]

 

Pixie’s eyes widened. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke calmly.

 

“I want to purchase an Advanced Skill. Shop Owner. Pixie.”
