All Master of 100 Floors Episode 183
39th Floor. World of Superpowers (6)
The Captain couldn’t understand the situation at first.
He gaped and blinked several times.
But his escape from reality didn’t last long. Soon his face twisted miserably.
“You, you, you. What do you think you’re doing!”
“Shut up.”
Kang Jun-hyeok waved his arm as if annoyed. The Captain who had been charging got hit and was slammed straight into the wall. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t even care and spoke to the Girl.
“Come out.”
“…What are you trying to do?”
“Who knows.”
Perhaps this could be the wrong answer.
There was plenty of possibility that making the Girl’s power go berserk was the correct answer.
But would Gubijan really have let this Girl die like that?
Would he have made her into a life born futilely, achieving nothing?
No.
Gubijan wouldn’t do that. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.
“You are a meaningful existence. Live. Move forward and walk your own life.”
“I don’t want to.”
The Girl shook her head.
“There’s no meaning in my life. To me, this world is like glass shards. I can either piece them together haphazardly, or destroy them miserably. So badly that I can’t put together dozens of pieces. I don’t want to live in such a world anymore.”
The Girl hung her head as if exhausted.
“When the homeless man tried to assault me, I thought it would be good if the homeless man disappeared. As a result, the homeless man disappeared. All the homeless people in the nearby area, that is. When I was hungry and thought I wanted to eat food from a nearby restaurant, everything from that restaurant’s food to every drop of water in the kitchen appeared before me.”
An uncontrollable reality manipulation ability was a disaster. Both for the world and for the person herself.
“When I wish for something, it comes true. Do you know what that means? It means I can’t wish for anything.”
What meaning could there be for an existence that couldn’t desire anything?
“I entered that White Prison with my own feet. Because it was a place where there was nothing to wish for. The reason I followed you was also simply because I couldn’t wish to resist. But I have some will to live so I can’t even commit suicide. So please…”
“You’re noisy.”
“Ah!”
Kang Jun-hyeok flicked the Girl on the head.
“…You hit me?”
He spoke lightly to the Girl who had a dumbfounded expression.
“What’s a kid who isn’t even an adult yet talking about? Shut up and just live your life.”
“Did you not hear what I’ve been saying? I am.”
“So what about it.”
Kang Jun-hyeok said indifferently.
“Can’t you just become an adult and then control your ability?”
“If I fail, the world will be destroyed!”
“Then you can just fix it again, right?”
“…”
The Girl was at a loss for words at the illogical statement. Kang Jun-hyeok continued.
“Live your life. Even if you fail, regret, and stumble in the process, don’t give up and move forward. Wish for many things. Hope and pray. At the end of that, you’ll be able to live the life you desire.”
[Hm?]
[Kang Jun-hyeok?]
Eldyria and Manbyeonggi realize.
These weren’t Kang Jun-hyeok’s words.
He was conveying someone else’s words through his own mouth.
She seemed to ponder for a moment before slowly opening her mouth.
“…Then what are you going to do? You’re not saying you’ll encourage me this much and then take no responsibility, are you?”
“Hmm.”
Kang Jun-hyeok thought for a moment.
What would Gubijan have done?
With his exceptional sense of justice, he would have said he’d protect the Girl until she grew up.
And he would have kept that promise. In fact, Gubijan had stayed on the 39th Floor for a very long time. He would have helped until the Girl could become independent on her own. That’s why he would have stayed for a year.
But in the end, he wasn’t Gubijan.
He was Kang Jun-hyeok.
And the Girl was asking Kang Jun-hyeok.
Then there was only one answer he could give.
“I have to live my own life. You live yours.”
“Isn’t that too irresponsible?”
“That’s what life is originally like. Live desperately. Move forward. If it gets really hard, come find me then. I can at least offer some comfort.”
“Ha, hahahaha. How shameless.”
The Girl let out a hollow laugh. But the same despair as before wasn’t visible. The Girl put her hands on her knees and stood up.
“…You have to keep that promise. I’ll definitely come find you and whine.”
“I can accept that much.”
Kang Jun-hyeok shrugged his shoulders.
The story was settled.
But Kang Jun-hyeok’s purpose still hadn’t been achieved.
‘What more do I need to do here?’
Just as he was quickly thinking, the Girl who was heading outside stopped.
“Where are you going to stay now?”
“I should return to Yuzhris.”
“Yuzhris?”
“Since I’m powerless.”
“Ah. You said that. I don’t understand but anyway that’s what you’re saying. Hmm.”
The Girl who had been pondering for a moment smiled brightly. She spun around and approached Kang Jun-hyeok.
“Then if you had superpowers, you could enter Psychotic City, right? Good.”
The Girl clapped her hands. And she sincerely wished.
“From now on, you’re an Esper. What ability would be good? Telekinesis would be good. Since it’s the most versatile.”
[You have acquired Passive Skill: Telekinesis.]
[You have acquired Stat: Psychic.]
[What?]
[Huh?]
Flustered voices rang out. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened. The Girl smiled brightly.
“Now you can enter the city, right? We’ll be neighbors from now on? Please take care of me.”
The Girl extended her hand.
Kang Jun-hyeok slowly reached out and clasped it.
At the same time, the Quest ended.
[39th Floor Quest Clear.]
[Compensation will be determined based on your performance.]
[Checking achievement rate…]
[Check complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional compensation will be provided.]
[The effect of Title: Perfect Player has been added.]
[0 Gold has been awarded.]
[You have obtained Perfect Clear reward [Passive Skill: Telekinesis].]
[You have obtained Perfect Clear reward [Stat: Psychic].]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 39th Floor: 2.]
[Universe Announcement.]
[Congratulations! Everyone in the universe! A Perfect Player of the 39th Floor has appeared.]
[Achievement + 6]
Kang Jun-hyeok returned to Earth.
He remained still without moving. After a moment, he opened his mouth as if dumbfounded.
“What is this?”
The 39th Floor had been Perfect Cleared.
That was a perfectly natural thing.
He had killed five Rulers of Psychotic.
That alone was an achievement that would be eternally engraved in history. But what was truly important wasn’t that.
[Passive Skill: Telekinesis]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: F]
[A superpower that allows moving objects without touching them. At this point, it can only be handled within a localized range.]
“…Ha.”
Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh.
He had obtained a superpower.
Acting as Gubijan, joining Olpoiquel, following their orders, facing the Rulers.
As if all those processes meant nothing, he had obtained a superpower just from the Girl’s final words.
It was absurd. Deflating to the point of exhaustion.
But this was exactly what reality manipulation ability was.
A power that made general concepts and values meaningless. He knew its strength since he had handled it restrictively in his previous life. Still, he hadn’t expected it to be this easy.
“There was no need to go to Yuzhris.”
With this structure, he could have stayed in Psychotic and approached after gathering information.
But that was something he could only say because he had cleared it. At the time, there was only one piece of information that Gubijan had headed to Yuzhris, so it couldn’t be helped.
Kang Jun-hyeok lightly flicked his finger. A phone that was far away flew into his hand. Eldyria let out a groan. Manbyeonggi also looked quite surprised.
[Telekinesis. You really obtained it.]
[This is my first time seeing something like this.]
“Haven’t you seen a reality manipulation ability user before?”
[The existence itself is known, but I’ve never directly encountered one. They’re ability users close to a mystery. At least Pixie might know something.]
At Manbyeonggi’s words, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie and shared the memory. Pixie’s eyes widened.
[A reality manipulation ability user? Something like that was there?]
“According to Manbyeonggi, you might know something.”
[An ability user who can interfere with the very concept of the universe. I was interested. I looked up various information. But I’ve never met one directly either.]
The reason was very simple.
Most reality manipulation ability users ended their lives through suicide.
[If you wish for something, that wish comes true. It’s not easy to control either. Everything breaks and crumbles with just minor emotional changes. The human mind that hasn’t reached enlightenment can’t endure it. With high probability, they either commit suicide, or shut themselves away in their own dimension where no one can approach. It’s one or the other.]
In that sense, from Pixie’s perspective, the Girl was quite remarkable. She controlled her power with her own will and was living without dying.
[Seeing how she didn’t make a name for herself in the original universe, it seems she eventually couldn’t endure and collapsed… but she’s impressive? And powerful. To change a powerless person into an Esper just by wishing for it.]
“Come to think of it, it was quite dangerous.”
The Girl had granted him superpowers just by wishing for it.
Conversely, that meant she could have permanently erased his abilities.
He didn’t know what would happen given the System’s protection, but the possibility existed. She had erased Divine Power, Internal Energy, and mana. Excitement was brewing on Pixie’s face.
[It’s my first time seeing a reality manipulation ability user directly. It’s very interesting.]
[550 Starlight.]
It was a considerable amount of Starlight.
The Starlight he currently possessed was 2,960.
If he cleared just one more floor, he could obtain Pixie’s box.
‘I’ll be able to use it starting from the 41st Floor.’
Kang Jun-hyeok nodded.
“Alright. Thank you.”
Kang Jun-hyeok expressed his gratitude. But Pixie didn’t leave immediately. She touched her chin as if she had something to think about.
[She gained some degree of her own will through your final advice. She won’t be easily broken. And… she said she would definitely come find you to complain.]
“It’s something that happened Inside the Tower anyway, right? It’s all just passing events.”
Events Inside the Tower cannot affect the Outside.
The only possibility was something like Red Dragon Anthonia’s covenant, but that was only possible because Anthonia existed in This World too.
But the Girl doesn’t exist in the current universe. She was a character who died in the process. Nothing could happen.
[…Right. That would be the case.]
Pixie withdrew her thoughts.
‘No matter how much reality manipulation, she couldn’t directly escape from the Tower. It was an excessive speculation.’
She laughed at her own delusion for being absurd.
