All Master of 100 Floors Episode 148

The Final Test (2)

A massive space like an amusement park filled with countless amusement rides.

There were exactly one hundred people in that place.

The top one hundred players from Earth. The Administrator shouted.

“You can be proud! Even though you’re just ant-level, you’re still the strongest ants on this planet! Ah. Except for one!”

The Administrator winked at Kang Jun-hyeok. He bowed his head, suppressing a chuckle.

“Unlike other groups, you guys are somewhat useful. So I’ll give you a day of rest! There are countless amusement rides from your planet here. Enjoy and have fun! See you tomorrow!”

The Administrator left.

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the amusement rides.

‘This is my first time seeing them in person.’

In his previous life, he wasn’t included in the top 100. Though he was showing remarkable growth, time was overwhelmingly insufficient.

Among Korean players, only Yu Jin-ha belonged in this place.

Now he was here. A strange feeling washed over him.

“…Huh?”

And Yu Jin-ha was looking back and forth between Kang Jun-hyeok and Kim Ha-young with a confused expression.

The top 100.

He had expected Kang Jun-hyeok to be included. It would be stranger if he wasn’t.

But the fierce-looking man was unexpected.

Yu Jin-ha loved recognition, attention, and honor more than anyone. He would often enter the community to search for his name and grin to himself. As such, he had extensive information about other strong players.

But he knew nothing about this fierce-looking man.

It was someone he had never seen before in his life.

‘Where did this person come from?’

“…Excuse me. May I ask your name?”

Yu Jin-ha asked cautiously, but Kim Ha-young didn’t answer. With his eyes closed, he placed a finger to his lips as if telling him to be quiet. Yu Jin-ha was speechless.

Exactly 5 minutes later. Kim Ha-young opened his eyes.

“Ah. I apologize. It was midnight.”

Yulsir’s Second Law. The Law of Silence.

Every day from midnight for 5 minutes, one must not make any sound. Kim Ha-young was faithfully following the law. Kim Ha-young smiled and extended his hand.

“I’m Kim Ha-young. Mr. Yu Jin-ha. Nice to meet you.”

“Ah. Yes…”

Yu Jin-ha shook hands reluctantly.

This guy is also a lunatic similar to Kang Jun-hyeok.

He concluded in his mind.

After the introductions ended, they looked at the amusement park. Kim Ha-young muttered quietly.

“How should I put it. It’s like a giant toy.”

The amusement park was alien. There was no harmony and balance that humans would naturally consider. Yu Jin-ha, who had been quietly observing, soon realized.

“…Simulation game.”

A simulation game for building an amusement park.

It felt like a clueless child had randomly placed amusement rides all over the place.

The bizarre unreality of it all gave him goosebumps. Yu Jin-ha rubbed his arms and asked.

“So what are we supposed to do now?”

“Let’s wait for now.”

If the information he’d heard was correct, a woman would gather people together.

Sure enough, before long, a calm voice rang out.

“Nice to meet you.”

It was a beautiful blonde woman. Yu Jin-ha let out an exclamation.

“Ms. Olivia.”

One of the top-tier Players. Olivia Turner.

Olivia Turner smiled brightly at Yu Jin-ha.

“Hello, Mr. Yu Jin-ha. It’s been a while.”

She was acquainted with Yu Jin-ha. The top Players from each country maintained exchanges with one another, and Yu Jin-ha particularly enjoyed such gatherings, so it was only natural. She turned her gaze.

“The people here appear to be Korean Players… Three of you, I see.”

A slight puzzlement crossed Olivia Turner’s face. As far as she knew, Korea had no notable strong Players besides Yu Jin-ha.

“What are your names?”

“Kim Ha-young.”

“Kang Jun-hyeok.”

Kang Jun-hyeok answered calmly.

Olivia Turner’s eyes widened as she repeated the name.

“Kang Jun-hyeok… could it be.”

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Olivia Turner. This is the first time seeing you in person.”

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly. Olivia Turner hesitated and stepped back. Just as she was about to say something, Kang Jun-hyeok cut her off.

“Don’t we have more important matters to attend to right now?”

“…Y-yes, that’s right.”

Olivia Turner stammered as she barely managed to compose her flustered state. After taking a deep breath, she spoke.

“First, I’m gathering people to consolidate opinions and have discussions. I’d appreciate it if you could gather at the Plaza in an hour.”

“Understood.”

Even as Olivia Turner left, she kept glancing back at Kang Jun-hyeok as if gauging his reaction. Yu Jin-ha asked cautiously.

“Have you met Ms. Olivia Turner before?”

“I said this was the first time seeing her in person. But there is a connection.”

It was something Olivia Turner had unilaterally done wrong.

An hour later. They headed to the Plaza. About a hundred people had gathered there without a single person missing. Yu Jin-ha let out an exclamation.

“There’s no one I don’t recognize. What a sight.”

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at them.

There were certainly many memorable faces. These were people he had undertaken Quests with before.

‘How nostalgic.’

Finally, when everyone had gathered, Olivia Turner opened her mouth.

“Thank you for gathering. Before we begin the main discussion, for accurate confirmation, I would appreciate it if each of you could step forward and introduce yourselves.”

Olivia Turner stepped forward and placed her hand on her chest.

“I am Olivia Turner. A 53rd Floor Player from America.”

She gestured toward the side with her eyes. A man raised his hand.

“Michael Smith. A 51st Floor Player from America.”

After that, people naturally introduced themselves in order.

The overall floor level was in the late 40s. Among them, the exceptional ones had surpassed the 50th Floor. They were indeed worthy of being called Earth’s strongest Players.

[Hmm.]

However, Manbyeonggi made a disappointed sound.

[I felt this before too, but your planet’s level is quite low.]

Kang Jun-hyeok silently shrugged his shoulders.

By position, Kang Jun-hyeok’s group was last. When they were about halfway through, a sharp-eyed man with brown hair raised his hand.

“Trey Dice. A 59th Floor Player from America.”

“Ooh.”

“Mr. Trey.”

59th Floor.

He was Earth’s strongest Player. People let out exclamations of admiration.

And then next.

A bearded monk raised his hand.

“Milarepa. A 54th Floor Player from Tibet.”

Milarepa High Monk.

He was seeing that face again.

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the high monk with a strange expression. The high monk had a puzzled look but returned to his seat without much reaction.

The order continued after that, and finally their turn came. Yu Jin-ha stepped forward first.

“Yu Jin-ha. A 56th Floor Player from Korea.”

“Oh.”

“Mr. Yu Jin-ha came too. After the second test, you withdrew from all the variety shows you were appearing on, so I wondered if something had happened.”

“Ha, haha…”

Yu Jin-ha let out a dry laugh.

Next, Kim Ha-young stepped forward. He smiled brightly.

“Kim Ha-young. A 41st Floor Player from Korea, and a believer of the great god of Laws, Lord Yulsir.”

“Huh?”

“41st Floor?”

People began to murmur. Everyone here belonged to the late 40s floors. But 41st Floor was far too low.

And one more thing.

“…A believer of Yulsir?”

“By Yulsir, do you mean that god from the 7th Floor?”

“Is it possible to progress that way from there?”

Amid the confusion, Kim Ha-young quietly stepped back. Next, Kang Jun-hyeok quietly opened his mouth.

“Kang Jun-hyeok. I’m a 30th Floor Player from Korea.”

“…What?”

“30th Floor?”

Paradoxically, there was less commotion than when Kim Ha-young introduced himself. Most people tilted their heads as if doubting their own ears.

And soon, one by one, they widened their eyes as if they understood. Shocked gazes turned toward Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok calmly continued speaking.

“You probably know me as the Perfect Player. Nice to meet you.”

* * *

Amidst confusion and bewilderment, everyone introduced themselves.

One day remained.

Since they had no idea what kind of test would be conducted, they decided to rest while conversing with each other in the meantime. As such powerful individuals rarely gathered together, people freely engaged in conversation.

However, the Korean Players were strangely excluded from these interactions.

It wasn’t a feeling of being ostracized or rejected. It was because they were too different.

“Mr. Yu Jin-ha. What’s wrong?”

“Oh, no. It’s nothing.”

Yu Jin-ha, who used to enjoy talking with others and was like a gentle saint, had strangely changed. Like a frightened child, even during conversations he was busy looking around nervously. Because of his strange behavior, people found it difficult to approach him easily.

And Kim Ha-young was peculiar.

He was constantly walking around. Someone with courage approached and carefully spoke to him.

“Hello, Mr. Kim Ha-young.”

“Ah. Nice to meet you.”

Kim Ha-young smiled brightly and asked.

“May I ask how old you are?”

“…Uh. I’m 24.”

“You’re young! May I ask what month you were born in?”

“May.”

Upon hearing this, Kim Ha-young quietly closed his eyes. Then he assumed a posture like a medieval nobleman.

“I am an apostle of Lord Yulsir. My name is Kim Ha-young. Young Lady. What are you curious about?”

“…Why do you keep walking around?”

“Of course, it’s to follow the Laws.”

“Yulsir’s Laws?”

“Yes! He is the great God of Laws! Do you perhaps have any thoughts of serving Him like I do? If so, you’re welcome! He is gathering His believers! You can pass after a simple test! It’s not difficult at all!”

“No, I’m fine. It was nice meeting you.”

She left immediately. Even when trying to have a conversation, he only showed faith bordering on fanaticism, making it difficult to have a proper discussion.

And lastly, Kang Jun-hyeok.

People simply found him intimidating. They whispered from a distance.

“Is that person him?”

“The person who Perfect Cleared all the way to the 30th Floor.”

“My goodness. How is that even possible?”

They were all top-tier Players.

They knew better than anyone how difficult it was to raise completion rates while climbing the Tower. That’s why they could only feel pure awe at Kang Jun-hyeok’s achievement.

What on earth did he do?

What kind of method did he use?

What kind of person could such a being be?

They were maddeningly curious, but no one dared approach him. An existence beyond normal standards inevitably created distance by its very nature.

Eventually, people formed a crowd centered around Kang Jun-hyeok.

Breaking through that crowd, one person approached Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been sitting quietly and resting, opened his eyes.

“…Mr. Kang Jun-hyeok.”

“Ms. Olivia.”

The blonde woman.

Olivia bit her lips and approached Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

“Nice to see you. It seems you have something to say.”

“Yes.”

She took a deep breath. As if steeling her resolve, she bowed at the waist. She opened her mouth.
