All Master of 100 Floors Episode 131
26th Floor. Don’t Move
[Title: 26th Floor.]
[Cleared right after starting. What is this.]
* * *
[…What are you.]
Eldyria asked with a groan.
[What are you.]
The despair and fear that Kang Jun-hyeok had just shown.
It surpassed what they had felt when facing the defeat of the universe. Just recalling it made her shudder.
That’s why questions inevitably arose.
[What on earth did you experience. What happened that made you go through such despair. And even after that… how can you keep moving forward.]
“Even if I wanted to answer that, it’s impossible.”
The Rewinding Stone was preventing him from speaking about his past life.
But speaking indirectly should be possible.
“One thing I can tell you is that I’m a loser.”
He was a loser.
And he was a failure.
“So I won’t let it happen again.”
A voice filled with unwavering will rang out. Manbyeonggi and Eldyria fell silent.
Kang Jun-hyeok called the Shop Owner and transmitted his memories. Though the memories weren’t transmitted, the emotions were fully conveyed. Pixie shuddered.
[Ugh. Uugh!]
She trembled violently. Countless emotions flashed through her eyes. Only after 30 minutes passed did she finally calm down and exhale.
[…Ha. Haha. What is this? It’s much thicker and more toxic than what I experienced? A half-hearted person would be swallowed up and fall. What on earth did you go through?]
“Similar to you. Failure and defeat.”
[…And yet you’re still moving forward. Amazing. No wonder the God of Jealousy couldn’t affect you.]
Pure admiration rang out. In her eyes looking at him was a faint sense of awe.
The starlight obtained this way was 300 starlight.
It was a considerable amount.
The Perfect Player title’s effect was all stats + 1. It was an excellent reward.
And Floor 25 unusually had no gold or other miscellaneous rewards.
Only one reward existed.
A translucent gray sphere. It was rippling as if energy was condensed within it. It had no weight at all, but an intense presence emanated from it.
[Will]
[Grade: Unique]
[Unbreakable, immutable will. Its manifestation.]
“Wow.”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out an exclamation.
It was a Unique Grade Material Item that he couldn’t obtain even a few of in his previous life.
And this was something he was getting for the first time. To think that will itself had been manifested. He had no idea how to use it.
Kang Jun-hyeok immediately went to find the Blacksmith and handed it over. Upon receiving the will, he made a strange expression.
“…What is this?”
“I didn’t know either, so I brought it to you.”
“Since it’s a Material Item, it seems like it can be processed somehow… but what is it?”
The Blacksmith examined the will from all angles with a confused face, but he didn’t look like he had found an answer. Kang Jun-hyeok was quite surprised by this sight.
“You don’t know either?”
The other party was the Heaven-Gifted Blacksmith. Even the Great Gods, even the Transcendents had exclaimed in admiration at his talent. In fact, in his previous life, no matter what materials he brought, the Blacksmith had handled them perfectly.
Such a person was confused and unable to understand the material. It was the first time Kang Jun-hyeok had seen this. The Blacksmith made a groaning sound.
“It’s different from any material I’ve ever seen. It’s like the manifestation of emotion, but to think it could be created this perfectly. Is it the System’s assistance? Then how exactly am I supposed to handle this?”
“It seems even you find it impossible.”
At Kang Jun-hyeok’s words, the Blacksmith’s eyebrows twitched.
“…Impossible? Me? Don’t talk nonsense. I am the Heaven-Gifted Blacksmith. There is no material that I cannot handle. Leave this to me. I’ll make it perfectly.”
“If it’s too difficult, I could just keep it myself…”
“Go.”
The Blacksmith turned his body away sharply. At his appearance as if he wouldn’t let it be taken away, Kang Jun-hyeok struggled to hold back his laughter.
“Then I’ll leave it in your hands.”
Kang Jun-hyeok returned to his room and took sufficient rest.
And as soon as it was time, he immediately entered the 26th Floor.
A pitch-black space where nothing could be seen appeared. Kang Jun-hyeok stood still in that place.
[26th Floor Quest.]
[Do not move for a certain period of time.]
Do not move.
That was the Quest of the 26th Floor.
It was a floor that was simple yet extremely difficult. The moment you cleared your throat or even moved a finger, the Quest would immediately end.
Above all, it didn’t tell you how long you had to endure. In a space with nothing, the time axis would twist and break. It was the way to push a person’s mind to its limits.
Floor 24, Floor 25, and the 26th Floor were a kind of connected floors.
Floor 24 tested the mental will to endure poison addiction.
Floor 25 tested the will regarding one’s own emotions.
And the 26th Floor tested the will against physical constraints. Many Players had struggled with it.
Of course, it held no interest for Kang Jun-hyeok.
The designated time for the 26th Floor was one week. He already knew this fact from his previous life’s experience. For him, who had experienced countless things, staying still for a week was easier than twisting a child’s wrist.
Therefore, he had no intention of just clearing it quietly.
He was thinking of gaining something more.
* * *
What could one gain on a floor where nothing should be done?
The first thing that came to mind was something related to the mind.
But that was meaningless to Kang Jun-hyeok. Since he already had Mental Resistance skills, it would be difficult to gain anything.
Then what about something physical?
Kang Jun-hyeok slowly blinked his eyes.
He breathed in and out.
He lightly moved his fingertips about 5mm.
Up to this point, it wasn’t treated as a failure.
And.
Kang Jun-hyeok slowly moved his Internal Energy. The Internal Energy began circulating inside his body.
Still, no Quest completion window appeared.
He knew from his past life memories that things like Internal Energy and mana could be moved.
Now that confirmation was finished, what he would gain was decided.
‘Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts.’
Reverse Momentum Strengthening and Absorb Attack Break Momentum.
Making the opponent’s power his own.
He was currently barely handling only the first Profound Principle of that. There were still countless Profound Principles remaining.
And among them, he knew through inherited memories that there were Profound Principles for manipulating and amplifying his own power.
He would master that Profound Principle.
That was Kang Jun-hyeok’s goal on the 26th Floor.
* * *
“Huu.”
Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled. His breath moved through his lungs and escaped through his nose. Then he inhaled. The opposite force acted.
In that process, he moved his Internal Energy.
The very subtle force that occurred during the process of inhaling and exhaling.
He began to control and gather it.
[Hmm?]
Manbyeonggi, who was watching to see how he would clear this time, realized. And couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
[Are you trying to train Martial Arts right now?]
[What do you mean?]
[This guy is trying to learn the Profound Principles of my Martial Arts right now.]
[…In this situation?]
[Yes.]
Eldyria also let out a hollow laugh.
[What an amazing guy.]
The condition for the 26th Floor was to endure quietly. If he could endure for the designated time, a Perfect Clear would probably be possible. Yet Kang Jun-hyeok was deliberately trying to learn Manbyeonggi’s martial arts. Even though the slightest mistake in that process would immediately ruin his Perfect Clear.
Even to the two Transcendents watching, it was an insane act.
Kang Jun-hyeok condensed the power generated through breathing using his internal energy. At that moment, the flow of his internal energy became slightly disturbed.
Twitch.
[Balance.]
He activated the skill and forcibly suppressed the power that was about to burst forth.
If he had been even slightly late, it would have immediately failed.
But Kang Jun-hyeok continued his training without fear.
At least a hundred attempts and failures were repeated. The cooldown for Balance was one hour. Calculating that, it meant he had failed despite investing time for a hundred hours without even sleeping.
Even so, Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t stop. When fatigue accumulated, he recovered using divine power and challenged again.
Whether the fruit of such challenges was bearing fruit, at some point the flow of his internal energy began to stabilize.
“Huu.”
The motion of inhaling and exhaling breath.
Twitch.
The motion of moving his fingers minutely.
Blink.
The motion of blinking his eyes.
The power generated from all those motions circulates through his body via internal energy. Forces that couldn’t even crush a single ant are condensed.
And finally.
[The designated time has ended.]
[26th Floor Quest complete.]
A week had passed and the Quest was completed.
Kang Jun-hyeok put strength into his fist one last time. He gathered all the accumulated power and unleashed it.
Kwaaaaang!
An intense wave swept through the space. The power that couldn’t kill a single ant had accumulated and accumulated to create a single storm.
[Self-Power Unity ]
Manbyeonggi muttered.
Gathering one’s own power into one.
[Master’s second secret technique.]
At the same time, system windows appeared.
[26th Floor Quest cleared.]
[Rewards will be determined based on your performance.]
[Checking achievement rate…]
[Check complete.]
[Achievement rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be granted.]
[2,544 Gold has been awarded.]
[Title: Perfect Player’s effect has been added.]
[You have obtained Perfect Clear reward [Active Skill: Immovable Stance].]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 26th Floor: 2.]
[Universe Announcement.]
[Please congratulate! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 26th Floor has appeared.]
[Great Achievement + 3]
[Not bad. Congratulations. I suppose you could say you’ve taken about half a step forward.]
“It’s damn difficult.”
Kang Jun-hyeok grumbled.
It had been quite a while since he obtained Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts, but this was only the second Profound Principle. He couldn’t even dream of a grade increase.
‘I really can’t do it with my strength alone.’
He needed a master.
A master who understood Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts and could help him.
The next floor is the 27th Floor. If it’s That Place, I should be able to find one. Kang Jun-hyeok slowly checked his rewards. While doing so, one message caught his eye.
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 26th Floor: 2.]
The 26th Floor.
Extreme conditions where one couldn’t move without any information.
There was one more Player who had cleared this.
‘Milarepa High Monk.’
The High Monk who had given him an opportunity.
He was exactly the Perfect Player of the 26th Floor.
‘I miss him.’
Calculating the time, it was slowly approaching a year since he had entered the Tower.
Then it would begin before long.
The third test.
The Earth test.
Then he would meet past connections once again.
‘I’ll have quite a lot to do.’
Kang Jun-hyeok made a pleased expression.
