All Master of 100 Floors Episode 200

First Universe Quest (10)

“Is it possible to change the reward like this?”

“Of course! Who do you think I am!”

“…I see.”

The Administrator could arbitrarily increase the rewards of Universe Quests.

This was something even he didn’t know. There was no one in his previous life who had received such special treatment.

He was quite surprised, but if it benefited him, it was a gain, not a loss.

“Instead, one will be lower than the normal reward! About 50%?”

“That’s no problem at all. Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. I should be thanking you. How satisfying it was to see that noisy guy go silent like a mouse!”

The Administrator giggled.

Kang Jun-hyeok fell into happy contemplation.

If it was two rewards, what would be best to choose? After a moment of thought, Kang Jun-hyeok chose his answer.

“First is a unique skill. And second, I’d like an increase in a specific stat.”

“Good! What stat should I raise?”

“Psychic, please.”

Psychic governs the output and amount of psychic powers.

And the psychic power Kang Jun-hyeok currently possessed was telekinesis.

It was the power needed to operate Pixie’s magic box.

But the amount was too small to properly use in actual combat. He could manage it somewhat during practice, but when it came to real battles, the consumption was considerable.

Raising Psychic was quite difficult. You had to go to floors that dealt with psychic powers, and even there you needed special methods, so it was best to raise it when you could.

As for unique skills, they were naturally the top priority. Pixie smiled and snapped her fingers as if pleased with Kang Jun-hyeok’s answer.

“Here. Take it!”

[Psychic + 14]

It increased by a whopping 14 at once.

It more than doubled from before. He could immediately feel the increased power and total amount of his psychic abilities.

And next was the real deal.

[You have acquired Active Skill: Stat Bestowal.]

[Active Skill: Stat Bestowal]

[Grade: Unique]

[Proficiency: F]

[Cooldown: 1 hour]

[You can bestow stats like Internal Energy, Mana, Psychic Power, and Divine Power to skills for use.]

‘Bestowal?’

Kang Jun-hyeok racked his brain to understand it instantly.

Soon, Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened as he grasped its effect.

This was a skill with value among the highest tier of skills he had obtained.

The Administrator waved her hand.

“Ah. That was fun. See you next time! I recommend climbing the Tower diligently in the meantime!”

The world distorted. Space itself turned upside down, and after a moment, Kang Jun-hyeok returned to Earth.

[The First Universe Quest has ended.]

[Good work, everyone!]

A system window announcing the end appeared.

The end of the Universe Quest.

Each planet met with other planets, exchanged interactions, and fought together with combined strength.

That strange experience evoked various emotions in the players. As such, the community was quite noisy.

[Cheong-jeo (36th Floor): To think mermaids actually exist in the world. I never imagined it.]

[Alondo (45th Floor): That’s what we should say. Internal Energy is quite a mysterious power. You can freely use it even underwater. It was a great exchange.]

[Cha Rang (59th Floor): The universe is vast. Do beings stronger than me exist?]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): It was a pleasant meeting. Cha Rang. The duel with you was very helpful to me as well.]

[Aloanian Hasat (61st Floor): You all worked hard underwater. What kind of Quest did you all have? I believe different types were conducted on each planet.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): Ours was a Quest to face giant tree monsters. They were strong.]

[Aloanian Hasat (61st Floor): Ours was a Quest to remove pollutants contaminating the sea.]

People talked about what kind of Quests they had undertaken. The number easily exceeded hundreds. All their opponents were diverse, and all were conducted under the protection of god-like beings.

The meaning was clear.

Their enemies were numerous enough to spread throughout the entire universe.

Also, they were so powerful that they couldn’t be faced without the help of gods.

[Aloanian Hasat (61st Floor): It would have been difficult without the Sea God’s protection. We might have been annihilated. Beings that affect the mind just by facing them. We have to deal with such things.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): It’s not much different here. Without the spirit’s protection, we would have been annihilated.]

The Victors they had to face were mighty.

The players who faced them directly had their motivation broken.

But even for them, there was a meaningful achievement.

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): A notice came up that there’s a planet that perfectly cleared the Quest. Where is it?]

[Tuvalt Shadowstar (67th Floor): That’s us.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): A 67th Floor player? You must be strong. Which planet did you join forces with?]

[Tuvalt Shadowstar (67th Floor): Earth.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): Earth. If it’s Earth…]

Dang Jung-ryeong’s message cut off. But everyone watching understood what came next.

Kang Jun-hyeok.

It was the planet where the Perfect Player existed.

But excluding that Perfect Player, it was also a planet where no particular value could be found. It was a pathetically weak place with no magic, internal energy, or psychic powers. Dang Jung-ryeong carefully asked.

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): Could we possibly exchange information? How did you perfect clear the Quest, and who achieved the most among you? I know your planet as a place where many strong individuals exist. Did their power play a big role?]

No matter how great Kang Jun-hyeok was, he was still an individual. Since it was called a Universe Quest, collective power was necessary. It was a question to gauge that extent.

But Tuvalt’s answer was quite unexpected.

[Tuvalt Shadowstar (67th Floor): Ah. Come to think of it, I should do this soon.]

[Dang Jung-ryeong (64th Floor): What do you mean you should do?]

[Tuvalt Shadowstar (67th Floor): Kang Jun-hyeok.]

A short message calling the Perfect Player’s name was posted.

The players held their breath and waited. They knew about the dispute between the Perfect Player and Tuvalt. They couldn’t help but anticipate what kind of answer would come.

[Tuvalt Shadowstar (67th Floor): I respect you.

You are amazing.

You perfectly control your own power and possess outstanding abilities in Internal Energy, Mana, and Divine Power. Moreover, you handle all those powers perfectly. To a degree that even surprises me. But what truly amazed me wasn’t that.

You are not a swordsman, mage, or believer.

You are a Player.

You handle each power without depending on them. You use them purely as your own tools. You integrate all of that, linking skills to draw out superior power.

It was something I could never reach.

Not only do you possess strength that overwhelms me, but you also have the ability to lead people and place their abilities in the right places. I, who called myself king until now, feel ashamed.

Kang Jun-hyeok. I respect you.

I hope we can have a good relationship going forward. I sincerely apologize for my rudeness until now.]

“…Hm?”

“Huh, huh?”

All the players watching were stunned.

Tuvalt posting an apology and message of respect was something that could be expected.

He was a 67th Floor player, among the highest tier in the universe, but Kang Jun-hyeok was the Perfect Player.

He was the one and only player in the universe.

Though his floor number was lower, given his specialness, there was sufficient possibility that Tuvalt would lose in their confrontation.

But Tuvalt’s message was unexpected.

That message contained deep respect and sincere apology.

It wasn’t something written reluctantly after defeat, but content that came from the heart.

The meaning was singular.

Touvalt had been defeated by Kang Jun-hyeok.

Not a simple defeat, but complete defeat in both body and spirit, to a level that left no room for excuses. No. Beyond that level, to the point where he came to hold respect for Kang Jun-hyeok.

“…What on earth happened?”

“That arrogant 67th Floor Player changed like that?”

Their questions didn’t end there. Touvalt’s writing mentioned that Kang Jun-hyeok handled Internal Energy, mana, and Divine Power.

“Wasn’t Earth definitely a planet with nothing?”

“…Did he acquire it while climbing the Tower? No. I know that’s possible, but.”

Though extremely rare, there were cases of learning magic and martial arts while climbing the Tower.

But no Player who had mastered all of them existed anywhere.

What was Kang Jun-hyeok?

Where had his power reached?

That question spread throughout the entire universe.

And at that moment, Kang Jun-hyeok had moved to the backhill.

The backhill was completely devastated and collapsed. The people who occasionally took walks there were starting to accept the mountain’s ruined state with surprise but resignation.

Kang Jun-hyeok steadied his breathing and activated a skill.

[Pixie’s Magic Box.]

Kiiing.

He summoned the magic box and moved it using telekinesis. Perhaps because his Psychic had roughly doubled, the speed was faster than before and the duration had increased. At this level, he could maintain it meaningfully even in combat.

The stat increase was a change that could be confirmed immediately without any special procedures.

And what came next was important.

[Active Skill: Stat Bestowal]

[Grade: Unique]

[Proficiency: F]

[Cooltime: 1 hour]

[You can bestow stats like Internal Energy, mana, superpowers, and Divine Power to skills for use.]

It became possible to bestow stats to skills.

Kang Jun-hyeok drew his sword. He infused Internal Energy and activated the skill.

[Internal Energy. Sword Energy Wind Blade.]

And the sword energy exploded.

Kwagagagagang!

The power was incomparable to anything before. The sword energy that flew out instantly struck the ruined mountain range, splitting boulders and crushing the ground. The entire area became devastated.

Kang Jun-hyeok whistled.

“As expected.”

Skills fundamentally had fixed damage.

Though their power increased with rising levels and proficiency, they weren’t affected by stat changes.

Of course, there were skills that scaled with stats like Repulsion or Earth Shake.

But if such content wasn’t written, the damage was fixed.

It was precisely because of this point that some people despised skills.

No matter how much Internal Energy they accumulated or mana they gathered, the actual power of skills showed no change at all, so they felt no great merit. They had their own rational reasons. Of course, Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t think that way at all.

But with this skill, their judgment was completely blown away.

By consuming stats, he could increase the skill’s power itself. After waiting an hour for the cooltime, Kang Jun-hyeok clenched his fist.

[Divine Power. Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]

Kiiiiiing!

An even more intense light than before illuminated the world. The power had noticeably increased.

This was quite an excellent skill.

It meant he could focus his power more. The problem was that its consumption was roughly double that of normal cases. It was burdensome even for his current self.

In other words, what he needed to do was simple.

Raise his stats to a level where there would be no burden.

“I’ll have to climb diligently.”

He muttered happily and returned home.
