All Master of 100 Floors Episode 016

 

 

2nd Floor. Goblin (7)

 

 

The next day. Kang Jun-hyeok followed the Quest and went to find the Guard Captain. When he opened the door, the Guard Captain embraced Kang Jun-hyeok with a broad smile.

“Ahahaha! You’re here! Kang Jun-hyeok! Yes. Yes! Come here!”

“You look like you’re in a good mood.”

“How could I not be good when we killed those damn things!”

The Guard Captain’s face was flushed. It seemed he had been drinking all night.

It wasn’t just the Guard Captain. The entire village was excited and had stayed up all night. Everyone was happy.

The Guard Captain threw himself into his chair and said.

“Those damn goblins are completely wiped out. We killed every single one that came running out of the burning forest without leaving a single one alive. It’s sad that the forest burned… but land that becomes ash becomes more fertile.”

The Guard Captain smiled broadly as he looked at Kang Jun-hyeok.

“We have reclaimed our forest. It’s all thanks to you. Hahaha. Haha. Really, really how could such a thing happen.”

The Guard Captain kept bursting into laughter. It was an expression of perfect happiness that he hadn’t seen in his previous life.

“Originally I was thinking of making you my successor… but I realized that was my misjudgment. You are amazing. You’re not someone who should be tied down to a small village like this.”

The Guard Captain stood up from his seat and extended his hand to Kang Jun-hyeok.

“Go out to the continent. Kang Jun-hyeok. You have that kind of power.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Kang Jun-hyeok took the Guard Captain’s hand.

And the Quest ended.

The world began to distort. The Guard Captain’s appearance flickered like a TV with static.

‘Then.’

The 2nd Floor was finished with this.

Had he really reached 100%? It was almost certain, but since there was a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he couldn’t let his guard down. Fortunately, the system window that appeared soon told him that he hadn’t missed anything.

 

[2nd Floor Quest Clear.]

[Rewards will be determined based on your performance.]

[Checking achievement rate…]

[Check complete.]

 

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be given.]

 

[Upper Body Armor: You have obtained Guard Captain’s Armor.]

[Lower Body Armor: You have obtained Guard Captain’s Guards.]

[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]

[You have obtained 2nd Floor Strategy Writing Rights.]

[1,714 Gold has been awarded.]

 

“What?”

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened when he saw the last reward.

“Strategy Writing Rights?”

2nd Floor Strategy Writing Rights.

That was a reward worth Kang Jun-hyeok’s surprise. But before he could check it, the system continued to appear.

 

[Perfect Clear reward [Weapon: Goblin King’s Greatsword] obtained.]

[Perfect Clear reward [Title: Variant Killer] obtained.]

 

[Players who Perfect Cleared 2nd Floor: 1 person.]

[You are alone!]

 

[Universe Announcement.]

[Please congratulate! Everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 2nd Floor has appeared. This is an achievement that no one has accomplished until now!]

 

[Achievement + 5]

 

Along with that, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body returned to Earth.

He saw the familiar ceiling and bed. Kang Jun-hyeok slowly sat down on the bed.

The first thing he did upon returning was to organize his emotions.

The 2nd Floor Quest was to become a soldier of the village.

Kang Jun-hyeok immersed himself in that role to reach 100%.

He became a soldier who was born and raised in the village with deep affection, yet lost his childhood friends, benefactors, and teachers to the goblins’ attacks.

He deceived his own emotions and assimilated into that role.

Only on the 2nd Floor, Kang Jun-hyeok was truly a resident of that place.

Don’t real actors often have problems in their daily lives by immersing themselves too much in their roles?

It was the same. The emotions he immersed himself in too deeply made him forget who he was. It was necessary for clearing, but from the perspective of Kang Jun-hyeok as a human being, it wasn’t a very good thing to do.

“It’s a good skill, but this aspect is inconvenient.”

Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

 

[Passive Skill: Acting]

[Grade: Lowest]

[Proficiency: F]

[The act of deceiving one’s own emotions and wearing a mask. You have become able to deceive your own emotions more skillfully.]

 

Passive Skill. Acting.

This skill helped him deceive his own emotions. To the point where even he himself was fooled.

As the concentration of immersion changed, it wasn’t easy to control emotions.

It was a skill that greatly helped with floor clearing, but caused problems as proficiency increased. Later on, there would be players who couldn’t distinguish between themselves and their roles in the Tower.

Since Kang Jun-hyeok had experienced that several times, he planned to be more careful this time.

“…Whew.”

I am Kang Jun-hyeok.

A player of the Tower.

He organized while exhaling. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had calmed his emotions, checked his rewards. First were his stats.

 

[Kang Jun-hyeok]

[Level: 11]

[Health: 330]

[Strength: 24]

[Speed: 22]

[Achievement: 18]

[Attack Power + ?]

[Defense + 8]

 

The stat increase was decent. Since his level was high, it was less than before, but considering this was only the 2nd Floor, it was an unreasonable level.

And as additional rewards for Perfect Clear, he received weapons and armor. Three of them at that.

“In my previous life, it was at most one.”

And that was flimsy equipment that wasn’t much different from what you could get at the shop.

However, the equipment that Kang Jun-hyeok obtained this time was on a completely different level.

 

[Guard Captain’s Armor]

[Part: Upper Body Armor]

[Grade: Low Grade]

[Strength + 2]

[Defense + 3]

[Guard Captain’s Armor. His pride and joy equipment that he purchased with a fortune.]

 

[Guard Captain’s Guards]

[Part: Lower Body Armor]

[Grade: Low Grade]

[Strength + 2]

[Defense + 3]

[Guard Captain’s Armor. His pride and joy equipment that he purchased with a fortune.]

 

“Low Grade, huh.”

The gap according to equipment grade was quite significant. The stats attached were double that of shop equipment, and the defense was even higher. Kang Jun-hyeok equipped the gear with satisfaction.

Next was the weapon.

 

[Goblin King’s Greatsword]

[Part: Weapon]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Attack Power + 28]

[Goblin King’s Greatsword. Born as a variant, he never doubted that he was the king who should lead his kinfolk. This weapon was proof of that belief and a milestone on his path forward.]

 

“…Hah.”

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a chuckle.

Intermediate.

It was equipment of a grade that couldn’t possibly appear on single-digit floors.

“I thought it was a good weapon.”

But to think it would be this good. It had no special effects, but its attack power was ridiculously high.

Simply put, it was impossible for an ordinary player to purchase equipment of this level from the shop.

‘I’ll put it to good use.’

Kang Jun-hyeok continued his inspection.

 

[Title: Variant Slayer]

[A title given to you for killing a variant that could have changed the future of its species.]

[Speed stat increases by +2 when facing variants that are not ordinary species.]

 

“Oh ho.”

Kang Jun-hyeok showed interest. His speed would increase when facing variants like the Goblin King. Considering he would encounter quite a few variants while climbing the Tower, it was a title he could use consistently.

 

[Active Skill: Stealth]

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

[Proficiency: E]

[Cooltime: 10 minutes]

[Erases all sounds you make for 10 seconds.]

 

The Stealth Skill’s proficiency had reached E.

Already E. It was an amazing speed befitting its low grade. At this rate, he might reach D before Floor 10.

And his Sword Technique proficiency had also increased.

 

[Passive Skill: Sword Technique]

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

[Proficiency: E]

[The art of handling a sword. It takes years of effort for even the talented to reach this level.]

 

When a passive skill’s proficiency reaches E, it becomes a first-class level that even talented individuals need years of effort to reach. It was close to system correction.

Its power was incredibly strong. The fact that he defeated the Goblin King was largely thanks to his Sword Technique skill.

That’s why it was considerably difficult to raise. Passive skills were much harder than active skills due to their demanding conditions.

Yet he had already reached E. In his previous life, his Sword Technique proficiency had reached E on Floor 10.

And the Perfect Player title had also changed.

 

[Title: Perfect Player]

[A title given to those who perfectly cleared Floor 1, the beginning of the Tower.]

[Current Effect]

[All Stats + 1]

[Passive skill proficiency increase rate slightly enhanced.]

[The title’s effects increase as the number of perfectly cleared floors increases.]

 

“Increased proficiency gain?”

Considering the value that proficiency held, it was an excellent effect. In the long term, its value would only increase, never decrease.

“To think you need to perfect clear Floor 1 to get something like this.”

No matter how many times he looked at it, it was unbelievable.

His gold was also 1,714. A high amount. Combined with his existing gold, he could purchase about two more Lowest Grade Skills.

Even just this much was excellent.

Each one was a reward that would be like hitting the jackpot for an ordinary player.

But Kang Jun-hyeok had obtained one more reward.

 

[2nd Floor Strategy Writing Rights]

[You can write a strategy guide for the 2nd Floor.]

 

“…It’s real.”

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered in a daze.

Strategy writing rights.

The Tower was designed to prevent information from being provided to latecomers.

Whether directly or indirectly. No matter how one tried to convey information, it would be filtered out like magic. There had been many attempts to break through this restriction, but all had failed.

However, there were a very few special methods to deliver information to latecomers.

One of them was the strategy writing rights.

It was a reward provided with very low probability when clearing a floor.

Those who possessed strategy writing rights could write and post floor strategies in the community. The strategies posted this way could be purchased with gold even by players who hadn’t cleared that floor.

It was one of the few means for latecomers to obtain information about a floor before entering it.

Naturally, its value was beyond imagination.

The Tower wasn’t a limited space. You could fall into an alternate world on the very next floor, or be trapped in a traditional labyrinth. There was plenty of possibility of being thrown into a jungle without even a morsel of food.

Since everything was unknown, even the tiniest bit of information was worth its weight in gold.

It wasn’t a joke – this alone was worth more than all the other rewards he had obtained combined.

There was a concrete example.

In his previous life, one player cleared Floor 56 and was lucky enough to obtain the strategy writing rights for Floor 56.

That player wrote the strategy guide.

And he became the owner of more gold than anyone else on Earth.

Enough gold to reach the highest floors with that alone.

“I never thought I’d obtain something like this.”

Even his past life self hadn’t obtained this. The probability itself was abnormally low to begin with. Even though the entire universe had climbed the Tower, at most only a single digit number had ever been unlocked. It was truly miraculous luck.

But there was a problem.

“Of all places, it had to be Floor 2.”

Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue.

Gold was needed to purchase strategies.

And the required gold varied depending on the content of the strategy. Kang Jun-hyeok opened the strategy tab in the community. Naturally, no strategies had been posted. He casually wrote a single line.

 

[The Quest on Floor 2 is to protect the village from goblins.]

 

A very simple explanation that literally just described the Quest itself.

 

[Gold required for purchase: 400]

 

Just that alone demanded 400 gold to purchase the strategy. Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.

Players who cleared Floor 1 only possessed around 100 gold at most. They didn’t have the gold to purchase a Floor 2 strategy. It was no different from fool’s gold.

“If it were at least Floor 10, I could earn hundreds of thousands of gold.”

He couldn’t tell if this was good luck or bad luck. After pondering for a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok began writing the strategy.

‘Since it’s come to this.’

What was needed for a perfect clear of Floor 2, what needed to be done, and what enemies there were.

Let’s write it all down.

Since no one would buy it anyway, he planned to use it as a notepad. After writing everything down, the required gold for purchase appeared.

 

[Gold required for purchase: 10,000]

 

Ten thousand gold.

Even he who posted the strategy couldn’t purchase it. Kang Jun-hyeok posted the strategy with a hollow laugh. The title was simple.

 

[Title: Floor 2 Perfect Clear Strategy Guide.]

[Would you like to register?]

[The commission fee is 90%.]

 

“Fine.”

It was a brutal commission fee, but since he thought no one would buy it anyway, there was no need to worry about it. Kang Jun-hyeok registered the strategy and lay down on his bed.

He hadn’t been able to sleep properly while standing night watch on Floor 2. He planned to catch up on his accumulated sleep.

Kang Jun-hyeok closed his eyes.

He didn’t attach any particular significance to posting the strategy.

But while he slept.

A massive uproar erupted in the world.
