All Master of 100 Floors Episode 207

46th Floor. Happiness (1)

[Title: To think such a floor exists!]

[I wanted to stay there for the rest of my life if I could… Be happy… Since you said we could meet someday, I’ll have to climb the tower even harder until then!]

[Deep Abyss One Luna]

[An elixir created by mixing Abyss One and Deep Luna. Impossible talent has perfectly created outstanding catalysts. This is a gift given by a patron to the Enchanter.]

It seemed to be an additional reward the Enchanter had given him.

Kang Jun-hyeok put the elixir in his mouth. At that moment, mana exploded within him.

“Mm.”

High-purity mana so intense that a groan escaped momentarily. He concentrated his mind and began absorbing the energy. After a while, the mana settled quietly within him.

[Mana + 16.]

“16, huh.”

Kang Jun-hyeok exclaimed in amazement.

Just from consuming one elixir, it had increased by 16.

This single one was superior to all the elixirs he had painstakingly made over an entire month combined. His mana stat had instantly risen to 64. He wore a satisfied expression.

“Truly excellent.”

[Her talent is certainly special even in the universe. It will be of great help as you climb the tower. But conversely… if she judges that you cannot fulfill her wish, that talent will become an obstacle to you.]

“That won’t happen.”

Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly. Manbyeonggi let out a quiet laugh.

[There’s conviction in that. Since it’s something you’re doing, you must have some scheme.]

“Something like that.”

Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie and transmitted the memory. After reading the memory, she hesitated.

[…The Enchanter. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her.]

“That’s a lukewarm voice.”

[I don’t particularly like her either. During the Great War, there were many voices asking for her help, but she ignored them all. I didn’t know what she wanted… but she was planning something like this. Creating a world.]

If it had been her usual self, she would have immediately said it was impossible.

Creating a world was an absurd notion.

But the Kang Jun-hyeok in the memory spoke with conviction that it was possible. Pixie looked at Kang Jun-hyeok with eyes that saw something strange.

[…Fascinating.]

Just knowing how to gather the catalysts was already sufficiently surprising.

Even she, who had traveled the entire universe, didn’t know how to obtain the thousand-year branch. Normally, she would have been impressed and amazed.

But the declaration Kang Jun-hyeok made afterward was significant enough to erase all of that.

He said creating a world was possible.

It was bluffing.

He had deceived the Enchanter.

To say that, the energy contained in that voice was clearer than anything. A powerhouse of her level could immediately detect simple lies.

But Kang Jun-hyeok’s voice contained conviction as if he had truly witnessed such a thing.

That was probably why the Enchanter accepted Kang Jun-hyeok’s proposal.

[…]

A dangerous light flickered in Pixie’s eyes as she looked at Kang Jun-hyeok.

Strange.

Fascinating.

If it had been her original self, she would have tried to find answers by any means necessary.

‘…But strangely, I don’t feel that way.’

Emotions would start to form then scatter like mist. It was as if something was blocking her from learning about Kang Jun-hyeok. An ordinary being wouldn’t have noticed even the slightest hint, but with her level of power, she could infer it.

But curiously, she felt no desire to resist that suppression. It was just a sensation of flowing naturally.

This was probably why Manbyeonggi and Eldyria were surprised but didn’t harbor emotions beyond that.

But she was a fairy.

A race of curiosity.

Even with such scattering, an irrepressible desire arose.

[I’m curious…]

A voice filled with dangerous energy flowed out.

Kang Jun-hyeok stroked his chin.

He too had noticed the strangeness.

The things he had done were certainly strange in their eyes. But while they would be surprised, flustered, and amazed, they didn’t harbor doubts beyond that. There was a part he could guess.

‘The effect of the returning stone.’

Previously, when Kang Jun-hyeok tried to speak about the truth, time was forcibly reversed.

It seemed to automatically prevent him from saying he had returned from the past, or from harboring doubts about it.

‘What kind of item is it really.’

But it couldn’t be hidden forever. Right now, Pixie was overcoming that effect and expressing curiosity. Someday they would learn. That he had returned from the past. And that he had failed.

[400 Starlight.]

Perhaps because he could obtain various information, he was able to receive quite a large amount of starlight.

After that, Kang Jun-hyeok opened the community. Since the first universe Quest had ended, he needed to check on it.

‘The big picture isn’t much different from my previous life.’

Players met players from other planets while proceeding with the universe Quest.

In that process, they realized the differences in power each possessed, and also learned about the gaps. Various discussions about this were taking place. Up to this point, it wasn’t much different from his previous life.

But the players from Volanta Planet were completely different from his previous life.

In his previous life, they were quite arrogant.

They themselves were among the upper ranks in the universe, and they possessed Tuvalt Shadowstar, one of the top players in the universe. Whether Tuvalt’s personality had transferred to others, they had caused much discord in the community.

But now it was different. They were very well-behaved. Most of all, the one who had changed the most was Tuvalt.

[Tuvalt Shadowstar (67th Floor): It was fascinating to work with skills. They completely violate the laws of the universe. For the time being, instead of climbing the tower, I think I’ll analyze skills. …To teach me such things. No amount of gratitude would be enough for him.]

‘…His attitude has completely changed.’

Tuvalt seemed to be practicing by purchasing skills from the shop following his advice.

That post showed strong respect toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

It was so different from the arrogant and haughty Tuvalt of his previous life, who looked down on others and believed only in himself.

“Hmm.”

Yu Jin-ha and Olivia. Kim Ha-young. And even Tuvalt.

Many connections he had met in his previous life were changing.

How much could they really change?

And how would the connections he would meet in the future change?

He became newly curious.

To do that, he would need to climb the tower further and build his strength. Words without accompanying force had no meaning.

Next was the 46th Floor.

What was that place again?

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been searching his memory for a moment, suddenly contorted his face.

The memory of the 46th Floor came back to him.

That place was one of the very, very unpleasant floors. After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

“Lady Eldyria.”

[What is it.]

“…No. Never mind.”

[Hm?]

Eldyria was puzzled. Kang Jun-hyeok closed his mouth.

The 46th Floor was a floor deeply connected to Eldyria as well.

Three days later.

Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 46th Floor.

What greeted him was a massive medieval city.

The roads were neatly paved with stone. A beautiful fountain existed in the center of the plaza, and neat wooden buildings were visible.

It was truly a picture-perfect city.

And what welcomed him were the cheers of countless people.

“Waaaah!”

“The hero who climbs the Tower has visited!”

“Everyone bless the hero!”

Flower petals scattered in the air. Horn whistles sounded. When he turned his gaze, countless crowds were spread out around him.

[Ah.]

Eldyria swallowed hard.

[46th Floor Quest.]

[For one month, be happy.]

“Waaaah!”

“Blessings upon the hero!”

The words of praise directed at him never stopped. As he quietly observed them, soon a handsome man and beautiful woman standing in front of the crowd approached. They had perfect appearances as if they belonged in a pictorial. Both bowed.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Great hero who climbs the Tower. I am the first prince of this place, Astia Kingdom. My name is Rutan Astia.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m the first princess of Astia Kingdom. My name is Seria Astia.”

“Great hero. This 46th Floor is a resting place for you.”

They were talking about the Tower, about the floors.

This meant they were aware of the Tower’s existence. The prince smiled gently and continued speaking.

“You seem confused. Don’t worry. We’ll explain everything to you.”

The prince gestured behind him. Then the crowd parted and knights in plate armor made metallic sounds as they created a path. They all raised their swords in unison.

“Everyone! Salute the hero!”

Clang clang clang!

A path of swords was created.

The prince quietly stood up and guided him.

“Please come this way. I’ll escort you to His Majesty the King.”

Kang Jun-hyeok quietly followed behind him.

As they proceeded through the path of swords, all kinds of flower petals scattered from the windows of surrounding buildings. The eyes of people looking at him were filled with reverence and respect.

Receiving indescribable treatment, he entered the royal castle. Soon he came to meet the king. The king also had a long beard and truly looked like a king who could appear in a pictorial.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am the king of Astia Kingdom. My name is Hemern Astia. I sincerely welcome the visit of the great hero.”

Kang Jun-hyeok did not answer. The king showed an understanding expression.

“You seem confused. This must be very different from the Tower floors you’ve climbed so far. I’ll explain everything.”

He slowly began his explanation.

“One day I realized. In the past, there was a great war, and we were defeated. The ownership of the universe no longer belongs to us. If those who currently own the universe wished it, we would turn into a handful of dust.”

It wasn’t wrong. After all, they were the defeated. In reality, the Victors had tried to literally erase the existing universe.

But they were still alive.

The reason was that the Master of the Universe had prevented it.

“The Master of the Universe gave us an opportunity. Those who couldn’t participate in the great war could climb the Tower he created, and at its end, gain the chance to reclaim the universe.”

The king continued with a gentle smile.

“I was amazed. To think we fought for the fate of the universe and were miserably defeated. How shameful that was. And to think there are those who were given that opportunity and climb the Tower again. How great they are! Deeply moved, I desperately sought out the Master of the Universe and made one proposal.”

Specifically, that he wanted to provide at least a minimal resting place for those who climb the Tower.

He said he wanted to create a place to praise and respect their greatness in trying to reclaim the universe.

That proposal was accepted.

“I persuaded my people. They all gladly accepted. They said they wanted to show respect to the great heroes trying to reclaim the universe. In the end, we are here. This 46th Floor is a floor for you!”

The king suddenly rose from his seat. His fists trembled.

“Great heroes who climb the Tower! How difficult it must be for you! How painful it must be! There is no praise or respect for you anywhere. That’s why I want to praise you with this humble body! Please forget the pressure and burden for just this one month and leisurely enjoy your vacation here!”

The king shouted with a face full of sincerity.

And from Eldyria, who heard that voice, he felt an emotion as if she was looking at something very terrible.
