All Master of 100 Floors Episode 191

First Universe Quest (1)

It was a strange feeling.

Earth from his previous life was an incredibly weak planet that received no attention from anywhere, forced to be grouped together with other abandoned planets.

But now, almost every planet wanted to join together with them. It felt like being Cinderella under a magic spell.

‘Tukanta, Abradiano, Namgung Cheon’

Besides them, most were names in his memory. They were all those who had made their names widely known as the universe’s top-tier Players. Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been scanning through them one by one, paused.

[Representative of Oborojunaku Planet. Gubijan has chosen your planet.]

Gubijan.

Someone who was close to being a true hero.

And someone who had obtained superpowers by achieving a perfect clear of the 39th Floor alongside him.

“Hmm.”

Kang Jun-hyeok fell into contemplation for a moment. He was also interested in meeting Gubijan. He was curious about how he had achieved the perfect clear.

‘That’s unfortunate.’

But the planet to choose had been decided from the beginning.

Kang Jun-hyeok raised his finger.

[You have selected Volanta Planet. Representative: Tuvalt Shadowstar.]

“Let’s meet.”

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled quietly. Shortly after, the world began to distort.

And he arrived.

In a vast, medieval-style tavern.

There were around two hundred people there.

“Huh?”

“What?”

[It’s time for interaction!]

[Lower, middle, and upper-tier Players will be divided!]

[You’ll be given a day’s time, so share information and build friendships among the Players!]

They were divided into three groups in total. This place was for upper-tier Players. Only a hundred strong individuals handpicked from each planet.

They faced each other. A strange silence lingered. Someone cautiously raised their hand.

“…Hello?”

“…Nice to meet you.”

Beings from different planets exchanged awkward greetings.

Awkwardness, strangeness, and curiosity.

Would this be the feeling if one saw aliens for the first time? Even inside the Tower, they had encountered many beings close to aliens, but that place was ultimately the Tower. They could only think of them as game NPCs.

But those they were facing now were not beings of the Tower.

They were actual life forms living and breathing in the real universe. They couldn’t help but feel awkwardness along with strange sensations toward each other. In such an atmosphere, one woman stepped forward.

The Earth Players held their breath.

Someone with horns on her head and black pupils.

She wasn’t human. The woman gently grasped her dress hem. She greeted them like noble etiquette and said.

“Hello. Players of Earth. I’m Ariana Brian. A Player from Volanta Planet.”

“N-nice to meet you.”

Olivia answered stammering. Ariana smiled brightly.

“Everyone seems confused and awkward with each other. How about we have a conversation as representatives first to break the ice? What do you think?”

“That sounds good.”

At the positive response, Ariana smiled brightly and extended her hand. Olivia slowly clasped hands with her.

Thanks to Ariana stepping forward first, the awkward atmosphere eased somewhat. Players from each planet began to cautiously converse and exchange information. Ariana said lightly.

“I’m a Demon. Originally a being that resides in Hell.”

“So there are… Demons too.”

“Haven’t you seen them a few times in the Tower?”

“I’ve seen them a few times, but it was ultimately the Tower.”

She never thought they would exist in the actual universe. Ariana touched the horns on her head.

“Demons are originally enemies of the ground. A race that cannot coexist with Humans.”

“But I see some people who aren’t Demons too.”

“Our planet is a bit special.”

Ariana smiled bitterly.

“Volanta Planet’s environment is extremely harsh.”

The daily temperature difference exceeds 100 degrees, and the plants are all things that try to devour life. Earthquakes occur dozens of times a day, and storms blow fiercely.

It was an environment close to the extreme where life couldn’t survive. Since they had to do their best to survive, there was no room for conflicts between Humans and Demons.

It was a very unique planet where they lived together by joining forces.

“Your planet seems to have only Humans?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll explain briefly. Demons’ ability is Black Magic. They use demonic energy to cast their own magic.”

Ariana waved her finger. Black energy rose and wrapped around her finger. Olivia swallowed.

‘No skill usage system window appeared.’

It meant it was a pure individual ability.

“Do all Demons have it?”

“There are differences in strength, but everyone can handle Black Magic itself.”

“I see…”

“Humans can’t handle Black Magic, but they have magic. Most of the Players here right now should be able to handle magic, right?”

Most of the hundred or so Players from Volanta had special abilities, not Tower skills. Ariana asked with a curious expression.

“How about your planet?”

“Uh, well.”

Olivia was at a loss for words.

It wasn’t that there were no Players with special abilities.

But their number was extremely small. Seeing Olivia unable to answer, Ariana quickly changed the subject.

“Then what level is your planet’s technology?”

“Um, yes.”

Olivia hurriedly began explaining. Ariana tried hard to soften her stiffening expression.

“Damn Tuvalt.”

After finishing her conversation with Olivia, Ariana grumbled and went out for a walk.

Originally, this should have been Tuvalt’s job. He was the representative, after all. But Tuvalt hated troublesome work very much. Thanks to that, she had to handle all the trivial matters.

She had gotten used to that itself, so it was fine, but the information she had obtained was not fine at all.

‘Too weak.’

Earth’s Players were far too weak.

There were hardly any Players with special powers like magic or aura. The Player who had reached the highest floor on Earth was Trey Dice on the 59th Floor. There were about twenty people of that level on Volanta.

The gap was far too great.

It wasn’t just her who felt this, but other Players as well. The more they conversed, the darker people’s faces became.

‘This is why I said we should choose a different planet.’

The first Universe Quest.

She didn’t know what the difficulty would be like, but it wouldn’t be easy. She had desperately persuaded that there was no need to choose now, but Tuvalt had stubbornly insisted.

‘No matter how strong Kang Jun-hyeok is, it doesn’t seem like he’d be enough to narrow this gap.’

But what was already chosen couldn’t be helped. She had no choice but to find a way as much as possible. It was when Ariana was looking around to see if there was anyone noteworthy.

At that moment, Yulsir’s apostle, Kim Ha-young, came into her view.

He was sitting quietly, meditating. His appearance, as if detached from the world, caught Ariana’s interest.

“Hello?”

Ariana approached and greeted him.

Kim Ha-young didn’t answer and quietly raised his hand to his lips. At his gesture to be quiet, Ariana was momentarily flustered.

‘What?’

After waiting quietly for about a minute, Kim Ha-young smiled brightly.

“I’m sorry. According to the rules, to converse with a non-human female during daytime hours, I must first observe silence for one minute.”

“Ah, um. Yes.”

“Nice to meet you, Demon. I’m Kim Ha-young. I’m an apostle of Yulsir, the God of Laws.”

“Huh? An apostle?”

Ariana’s eyes widened.

An apostle of a god.

A being who served as a god’s direct follower, carrying out their will. Only those with special talent and faith among believers were selected.

Simply put, even on her planet, no one had reached the position of a god’s apostle.

Moreover, this was Yulsir, the God of Laws. His pickiness was widely known even on her planet. Ariana’s eyes lit up.

“You. You must be strong.”

“I’m doing my best not to shame Yulsir.”

“I’ll be counting on you?”

“I’ll be in your care.”

Next, Ariana met Yu Jin-ha.

‘Oh?’

Ariana let out an admiring sound.

Yu Jin-ha’s posture was extremely clean. Yet it had no openings. Even if she attacked, it would be difficult to break through easily.

Yu Jin-ha was strong. Stronger than Trey Dice. She could tell instinctively.

“Nice to meet you, Ariana Brian. Please take care of me until the Quest ends.”

Above all, Yu Jin-ha had an extremely relaxed attitude. This would be impossible without confidence in one’s own strength. Ariana greeted him with satisfaction.

“Likewise.”

‘She has horns. Her black pupils are pretty.’

Of course, Yu Jin-ha’s inner thoughts were carefree as could be.

His acting skills were extremely excellent. Except for someone like Kang Jun-hyeok, no one would be able to discern Yu Jin-ha’s inner thoughts. Ariana was no different.

Ariana had found two useful Players.

But even so, the absolute gap couldn’t be helped.

In her judgment, the power gap between Volanta and Earth was threefold. And that was the minimum estimate.

‘No matter how I look at it, they’re a hindrance.’

The opponent she was about to meet now had to have the power to narrow that gap.

Ariana steadied her breathing and moved forward.

A corner of the tavern.

There was no one there. As if it was too frightening to approach, distance was maintained around one table.

And in a chair at that table sat one person.

Ariana smiled brightly and sat across from him.

“Hello?”

“Hello.”

“I’m called Ariana Brian. What’s your name?”

The man answered leisurely.

“Kang Jun-hyeok.”

Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the woman.

Ariana Brian.

One of the top-tier Players, and the only one who controlled and guided Tubaldt.

Tubaldt had only started going properly astray after her death.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen her.’

He was filled with emotion. And Ariana was in a state of extreme tension.

‘…Perfect Player.’

The one who Perfect Cleared every floor up to the 42nd Floor.

She couldn’t understand how that was even possible. But there was one thing that was certain.

Kang Jun-hyeok would be strong.

Incomparably stronger than her.

And his personality was probably eccentric too. Something like Perfect Clearing every floor. It wasn’t something that could be done with a sound mind.

‘…He might suddenly try to kill me.’

Fear, terror, and wariness.

Though she tried to hide it, Kang Jun-hyeok could see it all. He smiled faintly.

“You’re nervous.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Don’t be too scared. I’m not going to eat you.”

“Hahaha.”

Ariana let out a dry laugh. It was hard to take as a joke. She deliberately exhaled to compose her emotions before opening her mouth.
