All Master of 100 Floors Episode 141

29th Floor. A Family Heading to Ruin

[Ray Soja (Floor 25): Uwaaahhh…]

[Lu Weoqing (38th Floor): Again. Another test.]

[Geum Gang-yeon (33rd Floor): I’m going crazy. Really.]

Despair and lament covered the Community.

But there wasn’t that much commotion.

This was already the third time. Since they couldn’t avoid it, they had no choice but to accept it. And there was another reason.

[Geum Gang-yeon (33rd Floor): Still, if this is the final test… does it mean if we endure this time, there won’t be any more like this?]

[Kim Tae-yeon (44th Floor): That would be nice.]

The System Window mentioned it was the final test.

Hope arose among the people that if they overcame this time, the future would be peaceful.

But Kang Jun-hyeok knew better than anyone that wouldn’t happen.

The end of the test.

That was exactly what it meant literally.

The test would end, and then what came next would open. Rather, it could be called the real beginning.

The remaining time was roughly a month. He could prepare sufficiently during that time. Kang Jun-hyeok took the Hundred-Year Cold Iron and went to find the Blacksmith. Seeing him, the Blacksmith flinched and trembled.

“…What is it. The verification of what you gave me isn’t finished yet. It’s too early. Do you think I’m some omnipotent blacksmith or something?”

“I didn’t come because of that.”

At the Blacksmith’s rapid excuses, Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head and showed him the Hundred-Year Cold Iron.

“This. You can refine it, right?”

“Cold Iron that’s several hundred years old.”

The Blacksmith showed an interested expression.

“It’s been compressed under weight over long years. The purity is high. This is quite good quality Cold Iron. Hand it over. I’ll make it and give it to you within 5 days.”

“Thank you.”

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly. Returning, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie and transmitted his memories to her. Pixie’s eyes widened.

[You used Manbyeonggi’s Martial Arts in conjunction with skills? Normally your body wouldn’t be able to handle it and would burst, but the Player’s body protected you? So that’s possible too. You’re smart, aren’t you?]

Though the Floor itself wasn’t particularly special, Pixie seemed pleased with Kang Jun-hyeok’s play and handed over starlight with satisfaction.

[250 Starlight.]

The starlight he possessed exceeded 2,000. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately said.

“Your miracle. I want to purchase it.”

[Good!]

[You have acquired Pixie’s Minor Miracle.]

[Pixie’s Minor Miracle]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Proficiency: F]

[Cooldown: 5 minutes]

[Pixie’s prayer brings about a small miracle in the world.]

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had obtained the skill, immediately checked it out.

I want bread.

He offered a prayer with his will and activated the skill. As a result, a piece of bread fell into his hand from the air.

“How fascinating.”

Surprise crossed Kang Jun-hyeok’s face.

Bread had been summoned from empty space.

Something impossible with magic, aura, or divine power.

This was literally a miracle. Even Kang Jun-hyeok had met countless fairies in his previous life, but this was the first time he encountered a being like Pixie who could perform real miracles. Pixie spoke as if it wasn’t a big deal.

[Even so, it’s just a very small miracle. It would be hard to create any meaningful impact, right?]

“Still, a miracle is a miracle.”

Kang Jun-hyeok tore the bread and put it in his mouth. The bread was rye bread. It was decent enough to eat.

‘This should be sufficient.’

Having finished his confirmation, Kang Jun-hyeok dusted off his hands.

And three days later.

Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 29th Floor.

[29th Floor Quest.]

[Work with the Family Head to revive the declining family.]

The 29th Floor was a world similar to Medieval Europe.

There, a family from a remote region was collapsing.

A great plague had swept through, killing most of the territory’s people, and the Family Head and his wife had also died in its aftermath.

What remained was a young boy who had become Family Head at a tender age, and a single retainer by his side.

And the Player’s role was precisely that of the retainer.

The difficulty itself wasn’t particularly hard. The 29th Floor was an ordinary world like Earth where aura and magic didn’t exist.

In such a world, the Player’s abilities were truly godlike, so reviving a small family was an incredibly easy task.

The problem was the Family Head, the young boy.

The boy who had lost everything overnight was deeply suspicious. He didn’t trust even his own retainer and always remained guarded and distant.

Most importantly, since it was an ordinary world, being caught using special abilities by others would mean instant failure.

Building trust without arousing the slightest suspicion from the boy.

That would surely be the condition for a Perfect Clear.

And for Kang Jun-hyeok, that wasn’t particularly difficult.

He perfectly possesses his own ego into the family’s retainer. He builds the Family Head’s trust and demonstrates his actions. He deals with political enemies and treats the territory’s people’s diseases with divine power.

He secretly distributes money to exercise the family’s influence and approaches the Royal Family under the family’s name.

He asks for support for the declining family in the name of the Royal Family. After several tests and procedures, he succeeds in persuading them.

Within the short time of 7 days, Kang Jun-hyeok not only restored the family to its original state but made it gain even greater fame.

“Wow. Woooow! Woooooow!”

The Young Boy who was invited to the Royal Palace and guided to a room burst out in exclamation. It was an extremely luxurious room that even during the family’s golden age, he had never been guided to.

“Amazing!”

The Young Boy threw himself onto the bed. Rolling around with a joyful face, he suddenly sat up straight.

“Kang Jun-hyeok. You’re truly amazing! To bring us this far in such a short time! I’m really grateful! Please stay with me for the rest of our lives!”

“Of course, Family Head.”

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly and bowed.

At the same time, the world distorted.

[Persuasion proficiency has greatly increased.]

[Acting proficiency has greatly increased.]

[29th Floor Quest Clear.]

[Compensation will be determined according to your performance.]

[Checking achievement rate…]

[Check complete.]

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional compensation will be provided.]

[Title: Perfect Player’s effect has been added.]

[3,111 Gold has been provided.]

[Perfect Clear reward [Helmet: Lord’s Insignia] has been acquired.]

[Players who Perfect Cleared the 29th Floor: 1 person.]

[You are alone!]

[Universe announcement.]

[Please congratulate! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 29th Floor has appeared. This is an achievement that no one has accomplished until now!]

[Great Achievement + 2]

Kang Jun-hyeok’s posture changed as he returned to Earth and his expression became different. From the Young Boy’s faithful retainer, to a Player climbing the Tower.

[Lord’s Insignia]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Strength + 5]

[Speed + 3]

[Defense + 10]

[An identification token passed down to the lord of a family that has continued for over a thousand years. The accumulated years and emotions are themselves a mystery.]

The Perfect Clear title enhanced persuasion toward others.

He immediately called Pixie and transmitted the memory. Pixie made a reluctant expression.

[Well, this is interesting.]

“The floor itself shouldn’t be much.”

[The content itself is like that, but the process is interesting.]

Pixie looked at Kang Jun-hyeok with a strange expression.

[The Young Boy’s suspicion runs deep. If you make even the slightest mistake, he’ll immediately distrust you and distance himself. Moreover, the Royal Family has no need to care about a family that’s collapsing. To save the family would require a considerably long time.]

But Kang Jun-hyeok had solved it in just one week.

[It must be thanks to the high proficiency Persuasion and Acting Skills.]

[Passive Skill: Acting]

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

[Proficiency: C]

[The act of deceiving one’s own emotions and wearing a mask. You can deceive your own emotions to near perfection and even fake your actions. You can create a completely different self and even fabricate situations and memories to match it.]

[Passive Skill: Persuasion]

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

[Proficiency: C]

[Words and actions that make others accept your opinions. The beings of the Tower become quite conscious of your words and actions. They will listen to whatever you say. Even if you say something absurd, your words will carry credibility.]

He had perfectly acted the role of a retainer so the Young Boy wouldn’t be suspicious. He had approached the Royal Family and succeeded in the absurd persuasion of asking them to lend strength to a family heading toward ruin.

Clearing it in just one week was entirely thanks to these two skills. Pixie muttered as if finding it strange.

[If you had told the Royal Family that flying crocodiles appeared in the sky and asked them to send resources and people to catch them, they would have had a ‘what if’ feeling. And after deliberation, they would have provided support. Making them believe even such absurd words is exactly what the Persuasion Skill does. I thought it wasn’t a very important skill, but the more I see it, the higher its value.]

What’s needed to climb the Tower isn’t just strength.

It required extremely diverse abilities, and among them, acting and persuasion were close to being the most important. Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

“It’s not that omnipotent. The skills worked because I was given the role of the family’s retainer on the 29th Floor.”

Acting and persuasion don’t work on those who have not even a trace of trust, who reject and distance themselves. It would be different if proficiency reached A, but that was still far off.

What showed this in the extreme was the 30th Floor.

The absolute majority of Players couldn’t even start the Quest on the 30th Floor.

Even his past life self couldn’t.

The floor with an average achievement rate of 0%, the lowest achievement rate.

It was for That Place that he had prepared Pixie’s miracle.

[Anyway, it was worth watching.]

[120 Starlight.]

Since the floor itself wasn’t much, the Starlight itself was low.

Kang Jun-hyeok next went to find the Blacksmith. He handed over a dark-colored greatsword.

“Take it.”

[Cold Iron Greatsword]

[Type: Weapon]

[Grade: Superior]

[Attack Power + 75]

[A greatsword made from cold iron aged for several hundred years. It was perfectly forged under the hands of an excellent blacksmith.]

“Oho.”

Kang Jun-hyeok exclaimed in admiration.

Attack power of a whopping 75. Simple but powerful. It was the best weapon he had obtained so far.

“I’m satisfied.”

“I need more time for the Will you handed over.”

“I’ll wait patiently.”

And after training his internal energy for the remaining time, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 30th Floor.

What greeted him on the 30th Floor was a vast ground.

But it wasn’t ordinary. The ground was filled with yellow light. Desolate sandstorms covered the world.

The sunlight was beating down as if to burn the skin, and just breathing in and out made his lungs feel dry.

30th Floor.

The setting of this place was a vast desert.

And the Quest given to the Player was simple.

[30th Floor Quest.]

[Lead and save those who live in the desert.]
