All Master of 100 Floors Episode 156

32nd Floor. Dwarf Kingdom (1)

[Title: Fantasy!]

[A battle between demons and dwarfs. How romantic!]

* * *

Kang Jun-hyeok organized his rewards.

There were three Perfect Clear rewards in total.

[Lowest-Grade Core from Somewhere]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[An energy source of unknown identity. Beings of the universe cannot understand or analyze it.]

[Warship Parts from Somewhere]

[Parts made of strange matter. Beings of the universe cannot understand or analyze it.]

Materials made from the Victors’ belongings. Kang Jun-hyeok looked as if he had expected this.

‘It was about time I started getting these.’

But there was one unexpected point.

‘I didn’t expect to get a core though.’

The fist-sized core was emitting enough energy to run an entire country.

The parts were the same. No matter what technology Earth possessed, it would be impossible to create materials with such strength and hardness.

Even his Observation Skill couldn’t understand them. They were materials with such value and caliber.

If handled properly, he could create equipment of exceptional quality.

But there was a major problem.

‘In the end, they’re materials from the Victors.’

Those who could handle these materials were extremely rare.

After collecting the materials, Kang Jun-hyeok checked his title.

[Title: Victor Slayer]

[A title given to one who has killed a Victor.]

[All stats increase by +3 when facing Victors.]

The title had the effect of increasing all stats when facing Victors.

Since it was a title he had obtained in his previous life as well, there was nothing new about it. It was a simple but powerful effect.

The Perfect Player title also had the effect of +1 to all stats when facing Victors.

After roughly finishing his check, he called Pixie and transmitted his memories. Pixie let out an exclamation.

[You won? No, I knew you would win, but it was too easy?]

The Captain was by no means weak. Receiving energy beyond comprehension through the core in his chest, he boasted near-absolute defensive power.

Moreover, the warship’s attack power was considerable. With enough force to devastate an entire planet, most players were desperate just to survive.

Yet Kang Jun-hyeok defeated such an opponent all too easily.

It was as if he had faced countless beings like the Captain before.

[You’re full of secrets. But that’s what makes it interesting.]

Pixie laughed cheerfully and snapped her fingers.

[Starlight 300.]

After that, Kang Jun-hyeok went to find the Blacksmith. The Blacksmith spoke first while hammering away.

“I’m still pondering the meteorite – haven’t quite figured it out yet.”

“That’s not why I came.”

Kang Jun-hyeok took out the core and warship parts. The Blacksmith’s face instantly contorted.

“…Items from the Empire from Somewhere.”

“You recognized them immediately.”

“I could never mistake those disgusting things.”

“Could you make equipment using these?”

Until now, the Blacksmith had readily accepted Kang Jun-hyeok’s requests.

He had maintained an extremely confident attitude, as if there was nothing he couldn’t make.

But this time was different. The Blacksmith looked at the materials with an uncomfortable expression.

“I am the Heaven-Gifted Blacksmith. I can handle any material in this world without difficulty. But… I am, in the end, one who refines the metals of the universe.”

The Empire from Somewhere came from outside the universe.

It wasn’t the type of thing the Blacksmith could handle. At the answer that it was impossible, Kang Jun-hyeok regretfully put the materials back into his inventory.

“I see.”

He had known that the Blacksmith couldn’t handle the Victors’ materials. But this time, having gained full power, he thought it might be different – apparently not.

‘Then there’s no choice.’

NPCs existed in the Tower.

The Shop Owner who sold Tower items.

The Blacksmith who refined materials.

The Enchanter who bestowed magic upon equipment.

And the NPC who specialized in handling materials from the Victors who came from outside the universe.

People called that NPC the Madman.

‘Honestly, I don’t want to see him.’

Kang Jun-hyeok wore an extremely reluctant expression.

The Madman was literally a madman.

Honestly, he didn’t want to meet him.

But there was no choice. No one else could handle these materials. The Blacksmith, who had been quietly observing Kang Jun-hyeok, opened his mouth.

“I see you’ve cleared the 31st Floor.”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm… Good. That’s not bad.”

The Blacksmith nodded after thinking for a moment.

“I told you before. To make me your retainer, you need to complete several quests.”

“You did say that.”

“With your current level, it should be possible. 32nd Floor. I’ll give you the second quest there.”

“Oh ho.”

Kang Jun-hyeok showed interest. The Blacksmith continued.

“You’ll learn the detailed quest contents when you enter the 32nd Floor.”

“Understood.”

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled and nodded. Having returned to Earth, he recalled the 32nd Floor quest.

‘It was definitely the battle between demons and dwarves.’

A floor where demons invaded the Dwarf Kingdom. It was a floor where you helped the dwarves defend against the demon attack.

Since players were more like supporting characters helping rather than protagonists, it wasn’t a particularly difficult floor.

Above all, the dwarves were stronger than the demons. Since defense was much more advantageous, it was a floor you could clear just by watching, to put it extremely.

But since the Blacksmith was personally giving the quest, it probably wouldn’t go that easily.

‘I wonder how it will turn out.’

Kang Jun-hyeok stretched his body as if looking forward to it.

Three days remained. He could wait leisurely.

While resting, Kang Jun-hyeok suddenly remembered about the community.

He was now one of the top 100 players on Earth.

He could now participate in the community for top players that he couldn’t even see before.

It would be decent enough to kill time. When Kang Jun-hyeok opened the community, people were actively conversing.

[Cha Rang(58th Floor) : So you’re saying that in your world, the Five Great Families and Nine Sects and One Alliance exist.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong(64th Floor) : That’s right, don’t they exist in your world?]

[Cha Rang(58th Floor) : No such concept exists. One massive sect. The Heavenly First Gate dominates everything. I am the twenty-fifth successor of that Heavenly First Gate.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong(64th Floor) : What a distinguished person you were. What martial arts did you learn?]

[Cha Rang(58th Floor) : The Heavenly First Divine Technique. I had pride in my martial arts. But hearing your story cracks that confidence. What exactly is your world?]

[Dang Jung-ryeong(64th Floor) : It’s not a very pleasant star to live on.]

Murim World players with Murim World players.

[Emilia Traina(61st Floor) : So in your world, you treat mana like a physical substance?]

[Tukan Tak(62nd Floor) : That’s right. Mana itself has mass.]

[Emilia Traina(61st Floor) : Interesting. But it would be difficult to handle in our world.]

[Tukan Tak(62nd Floor) : Your world has mana buried in the ground, you said?]

[Emilia Traina(61st Floor) : Yes. We mine it and use it as an energy source.]

Magic players with magic players.

[Abradiano(58th Floor) : Anyone who handles telekinesis?]

[Su Am-jang(59th Floor) : Here.]

[Abradiano (58th Floor): Oh. That’s great. Let’s discuss power control.]

Esper players were talking among themselves.

Each was having conversations according to their own interests.

It was natural. All the top players in the universe would be watching this community right now. This was unprecedented throughout all of universal history. Since they were all strong, they had great interest in different types of power.

And unfortunately, Earth’s players couldn’t join their conversations.

[Chuang Zen (49th Floor): …I can feel the wall.]

[Michael Stern (51st Floor): It’s bitter.]

Those called Earth’s top players were at most in the late 40s to mid-50th floors.

But here, there were players visible up to the mid-to-late 60th floors.

Moreover, they were discussing all sorts of strange abilities that Earth’s players couldn’t understand or thought they couldn’t handle.

Only then did they realize.

That they were extremely weak.

That the universe was incredibly vast.

Naturally, they couldn’t help but feel intimidated. It wasn’t just Earth’s players, but most players from lower-tier planets felt the same.

But paradoxically, Earth was receiving more attention than any other planet.

The reason was simple.

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): So, there’s someone called a Perfect Player on your planet?]

[Yu Jin-ha (56th Floor): Uh… probably?]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): Interesting. I’ve tried challenging Perfect Clear myself but never succeeded once. The highest I reached was 90%. I couldn’t figure out the remaining 10%. How exactly did he Perfect Clear every floor?]

[Yu Jin-ha (56th Floor): I, I don’t know even if you ask me.]

[Cha Rang (58th Floor): Does such a person really exist? I have my doubts.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): There was a universal announcement. That wouldn’t lie.]

[Cha Rang (58th Floor): It could all be different people.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): Looking at the timing and dates of each clear, that possibility is low.]

[Cha Rang (58th Floor): That makes more sense than saying someone Perfect Cleared from Floor 1 to Floor 31. From what I hear, their planet is weak. No martial arts, no magic, no superpowers, nothing. A Perfect Player appeared from such a planet?]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): Hmm.]

Dang Jung-ryeong couldn’t refute that statement.

These were the top players in the entire universe.

They had sufficiently challenged Perfect Clear and knew well how absurdly difficult it was. That’s why it seemed hard to believe.

After that, they had various conversations about whether Kang Jun-hyeok actually existed. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

“They’re making quite a fuss among themselves.”

[Even we feel a sense of alienation about your existence, so how could mere mortals accept it?]

Manbyeonggi answered as if it were natural.

The community argued their own positions and refuted each other. In the process, things began to get increasingly heated. Harsh words were being exchanged.

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been quietly watching, lightly raised his hand.

[Kang Jun-hyeok (31st Floor): Hello.]

A short message was posted to the Community.

At the same time, silence fell.
