All Master of 100 Floors Episode 173

38th Floor. Fairy Village (1)

[Title: Save the fairies on the 38th Floor. Sounds nice. It’s like a fairy tale.]

[But is there any player who’s cleared this? A spear got stuck between my toes? It was cute like a toothpick though.]

[Abichanoko (44th Floor): Should I call them people? The fairy folk succeeded in entering the village. But they all kept their mouths shut about the Quest contents. It’s a curious floor in many ways.]

A Serpent is ultimately just a monster that failed to become a dragon.

Its only abilities were spreading weak curses and poison, so it couldn’t stand against Kang Jun-hyeok.

In the end, the biggest problem was the deep-rooted faith built up over hundreds of years, across dozens of generations.

It couldn’t be toppled overnight.

So he slowly infiltrates them. He acts as a constellation and helps them. He borrows the name of a god and helps people with minor miracles.

It was grace without cost.

The Serpent must have been revered as a god by these people and punished them. People’s hearts slowly began to turn toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

The Serpent didn’t stay quiet either. It released poison and curses to attack the villagers who tried to betray it and follow Kang Jun-hyeok.

And Kang Jun-hyeok was waiting for that.

“Look. The being you believe to be a god so easily tries to harm its own believers. That is not a god. It’s a demon ruling you through fear.”

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

Light illuminates the world.

Purification and peace for allies.

And terrible heat for enemies.

The curse covering the village is instantly erased. And all the villagers’ various ailments are healed.

“That is not a god. It is a demon.”

Kang Jun-hyeok speaks strongly. The power contained in his voice persuades the villagers.

Just one week.

That was the time it took for people to abandon hundreds of years of faith and harbor hostility.

“I will go and deal with that demon!”

“We’ll be waiting! Kang Jun-hyeok!”

“Oh! Our new god!”

Kang Jun-hyeok climbed the mountain. There, the Serpent waited with hostile eyes. It moved its body roughly, trying to bite Kang Jun-hyeok.

“Sorry.”

Kang Jun-hyeok steps forward and digs into the Serpent’s body. He raises his fist and places it on its belly.

“So farewell.”

[High-Output Gauntlets from Somewhere.]

The power contained in his fist explodes. The Serpent’s body shakes greatly. It flies away, breaking dozens of trees and crashing into rocks. The rocks can’t withstand the force and split apart.

Kuguuguung…

With a rumble that shakes the mountain, the Serpent goes limp.

In a single blow, the Serpent died.

Kang Jun-hyeok returned to the village and said he had dealt with the Serpent. The villagers raised both hands in welcome.

“Hooray! The demon is dead!”

“Praise Kang Jun-hyeok!”

[Lost God’s Divine Radiance proficiency has increased.]

[Acting proficiency has increased.]

[Persuasion proficiency has increased from C to B.]

[Divine Power + 1]

[37th 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.]

[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]

[5,123 gold has been awarded.]

[Perfect Clear reward [Serpent’s Inner Core] obtained.]

[Players who Perfect Cleared the 37th Floor: 5.]

[Universe Announcement.]

[Congratulations everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 37th Floor has appeared.]

[Achievement + 2]

He wasn’t the only Perfect Clear.

There were as many as five.

It was a floor where the difficulty itself wasn’t that high. With the Serpent’s level of power, top-tier players could somehow manage to defeat it.

The villagers’ faith was the only problem, but for outstanding believers including the Saintess, that wasn’t a very difficult condition.

Of course, even so, it was a floor that took at least a month and up to half a year.

Kang Jun-hyeok cleared it in just one week.

That wasn’t just a simple miracle, but the power of skills.

“Already B.”

[Passive Skill: Persuasion]

[Grade: Lowest]

[Proficiency: B]

[Words and actions that make others accept your opinions. Beings of the Tower become quite conscious of your words and actions. They listen to whatever you say. Even if you say something absurd, those words gain credibility. Your arguments persuade them.]

The power of the Persuasion skill is strong.

Reaching B was no different from a kind of brainwashing.

Unless they were mortal enemies, he could forcibly persuade them to that degree. There were quite a few cases of successful Perfect Clears thanks to this skill.

“I’m really glad I got it early.”

During the floor clearing process, the Lost God’s scriptures were also adequately filled.

The Perfect Player title gives all stats + 1 when facing monsters.

The reward was an inner core. Without delay, he immediately ate it. Heat rose in his stomach and that power moved to his dantian.

[Internal Energy + 5]

Internal Energy + 5.

Kang Jun-hyeok, who momentarily thought it was disappointing, soon let out a laugh.

A stat increase of 5 was never easy. Moreover, his current internal energy was in the 60s. It was far superior to martial artists. He should have been amazed that it increased by 5, but Kang Jun-hyeok actually thought it was only that much.

‘My sense of scale has gotten warped.’

Perfect Clear rewards were so powerful that he thought a stat increase of 5 was just “only that much.” Kang Jun-hyeok loosened up his body appropriately and called Pixie.

[Boring.]

[50 Starlight.]

The floor itself would hold nothing new for her, so it was an understandable amount of starlight.

The 37th Floor was boring overall.

It was a floor that had been Perfect Cleared, with all information widely known.

But the 38th Floor was the opposite.

No one had managed to Perfect Clear that place. Not only that, but there was almost no information about the floor.

There was only one thing he knew.

That on that floor, there were Fairies.

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at Pixie and opened his mouth.

“Next up is the 38th Floor.”

[Right. It’s been about 2 years since you entered the Tower? Pretty fast. Other guys couldn’t even reach half your progress in that time. The 38th Floor. What was on that place again?]

Pixie, who had been tapping her chin, suddenly made a sound as if she remembered something.

And her expression hardened.

[…Ah. So it was that floor. Hmm.]

“Do you know something about it?”

[Hmm, hmm, hmm…]

Pixie had a very strange expression. It was a face that seemed embarrassed, as if recalling a past she didn’t want to remember.

[…I can’t tell you. More precisely, I don’t want to tell you. You’ll find out when you Perfect Clear it. Personally, I hope you can’t.]

“The Shop Owner is cursing a Player.”

[Ugh. I don’t know. See you later!]

Pixie disappeared as if she didn’t want to continue the conversation. Kang Jun-hyeok frowned.

“What’s that about?”

[Is it a floor that has some connection to herself, like me? But it’s a strange reaction. It’s closer to embarrassment than displeasure.]

“I’ll find out when I go there.”

Three days later, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 38th Floor.

That place was a single forest.

And before him was a small kingdom.

Like kingdoms made as miniatures, kingdoms for doll play. Small buildings were arranged closely together.

And voices of wariness toward him rang out.

“Human! I don’t know how you got here, but go back!”

“This is a Fairy Village. No outsider may dare intrude!”

Beings the size of an adult man’s wrist. They had wings attached. They looked like something that would come out of a fairy tale.

They were Fairies.

[38th Floor Quest.]

[Help the crumbling Fairy Village.]

The 38th Floor was a floor where you had to save the Fairy Village.

The Quest itself was very ordinary content that he had done several times before.

However, there was a big difference between those floors and the 38th Floor.

The difference was that the opponents were Fairies. Kang Jun-hyeok raised both hands to show he had no hostility.

“I am not your enemy. I came here to help you…”

Whiiiing!

A magical arrow sharply grazed past Kang Jun-hyeok’s cheek. A Fairy shouted loudly.

“Get away from this place right now!”

The Fairies’ faces held deep wariness. They seemed to have no intention of listening to Kang Jun-hyeok’s words from the start.

‘This is the problem.’

Fairies.

They were a fantasy race.

Most people had never seen them even once despite living on the same planet.

That was because they had such strong wariness toward the outside world. Having been bullied for a long time due to their small and cute appearance, they had closed their hearts to other races.

Fairies let no one into their village.

Even if they were Players, it made no difference. Most Players couldn’t enter the village and their Quest ended.

Of course, not everyone failed. Among the Players, there were Fairies too. They succeeded in entering the village.

‘But no one opened their mouth.’

As if they had made a promise, the Fairies kept their mouths shut about the 38th Floor.

It was truly a floor with no information whatsoever. Toward the Fairies who were looking at him with wariness, Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth again.

“I am not your enemy.”

He persuaded with strong will.

“I came here to help you.”

Persuasion with B-rank proficiency.

It was close to brainwashing.

No matter how much they tried to be wary and refuse, it made them listen to those words and become concerned.

The Fairies’ eyes began to waver.

“You are in a difficult situation right now. I can help you. Please open your hearts to me.”

“Ah, uh.”

“Hmm…”

The Fairies began to contemplate. Just as they seemed to have organized their thoughts and were about to slowly open their mouths, another Fairy flew over from behind them.

“What’s going on?”

“Ah.”

“Village Chief?”

The Fairy called Village Chief looked at Kang Jun-hyeok and frowned.

“…Why is a human here?”

“I, I don’t know.”

“He says he came to help us.”

“Help? A human helping us?”

“Yes. I intend to help you.”

He spoke with strong persuasion.

But the wariness in the Village Chief’s face didn’t easily fade. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘A First Tier expert.’

Naturally, persuasion wasn’t omnipotent. The stronger the opponent’s power, the stronger their wariness, the less it worked. This was especially true if they had reached a tier.

After contemplating for a moment, the Village Chief opened his mouth.

“I appreciate that you came to help, but this is Fairy business. Go back.”

That attitude was light but simultaneously firm. Finally, Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue and made a decision.

‘Can’t be helped.’

“You’re refusing me because I’m human. But what if that weren’t the case?”

“What?”

“I have a very close relationship with you all. Let me show you the proof.”

[Pixie’s Wings.]

Wings spread out behind Kang Jun-hyeok’s back. The Fairies were shocked.

“Wh, what?!”

“Those wings!”

“How!”

“I am not an ordinary human. With this much, can you accept me?”

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly.

He looked very calm on the outside, but inside he was secretly anxious.

‘How will this turn out.’

Pixie.

She was definitely strong.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her the strongest Fairy.

But Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t know her past.

Perhaps to the fairies, she might have been a mortal enemy and traitor.

The path to gaining such power couldn’t have been smooth.

Fairy wings had great differences between individuals, like human fingerprints. They would be able to immediately recognize that these were Pixie’s wings.

But since the Village Chief had directly rejected him, there were no other options.

Kang Jun-hyeok examined the fairies’ faces. They were staring at him blankly. Just as he thought this wasn’t good and was quickly thinking of his next move.

The fairy’s face suddenly brightened.

“Ooooh!”

“It’s The One’s representative!”

“Finally! Finally you’ve come! At last! The One has moved to clean up their mistake! Wahhh! We can live!”

They instantly surrounded Kang Jun-hyeok, raising their arms and beginning to worship him.

“…Mistake?”

At the strange words, Kang Jun-hyeok frowned and muttered.
