All Master of 100 Floors Episode 228
50th Floor. The Past of Failure (5)
This reward differed from all previous ones.
When the reward was granted, no Clear Reward information appeared—only emptiness.
The reward I obtained that way. My first Qualification was the same. Most of its contents remained blank, leaving only a scant few details I could verify.
“A Pass.”
I had passed through something, and in exchange, a portion had been unlocked.
The Pass must be clearing the 74th Floor. What was unlocked was likely the transmission of memory. Eldyria let out a groan.
[A Qualification, you say. How bizarre indeed. A Qualification for what? By what standard is it determined? And….]
[Who is it that grants such Qualifications?]
At this point in time, there was only one entity it could be.
But I could not fathom why that entity would grant such a thing as a Qualification.
What does it desire?
Why does such a thing as Qualification even exist?
Amid these questions, I shrugged my shoulders.
“Worrying about what I don’t know is pointless.”
[That is true. But are you certain?]
“About what?”
[It is aware of your regression. Based on what happened on the 50th Floor, it can even intervene.]
“Ah.”
I understood what Manbyeonggi was trying to say.
The Master of the Universe was watching me. It could even intervene if it wished.
All of this could be nothing more than that entity’s game. In a sense, it was despairing information, but I laughed softly.
“I don’t care.”
[You don’t care?]
“My path forward doesn’t change regardless.”
Milarepa High Monk had told me something.
Not to make a choice I would regret this time.
I would honor that word. That was all. After a brief silence, Manbyeonggi and Eldyria murmured.
[A splendid resolve.]
[…Remarkable. This is information that could shatter and break one’s spirit.]
“Spare me the unnecessary talk. Let’s discuss what comes next.”
What I could confirm with certainty was that the transmission of memory had been unlocked.
But to what extent had it been unlocked?
After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth.
“Next is.”
The 51st Floor.
I was about to tell them the information about that place.
But in that instant, the world warps. Everything rewinds as if a tape were being reversed.
I found myself back to just before I could speak. I clicked my tongue.
“It doesn’t work.”
[What do you mean?]
Kang Jun-hyeok explained what had just happened. After a moment of thought, Manbyeonggi reached a conclusion.
[I cannot explain all of your previous lives.]
“It seems only the fact that I regressed, and the cause of it, are permitted to be revealed.”
Speculation itself wasn’t blocked, but Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t directly explain it himself.
“The first qualification.”
This implied there was a second and third as well.
Additional unlocks could be granted accordingly.
Then it was time to confirm that scope. Kang Jun-hyeok picked up his cell phone. After the bell rang several times, the other party answered urgently.
-W-what’s the matter!
“Yu Jin-ha.”
Kang Jun-hyeok was calling Yu Jin-ha right now.
-I’m working hard climbing the Tower and training! I won’t disappoint you, Kang Jun-hyeok!
“Never mind that for now. I have—”
I’ve returned to the past.
In that instant, the world warped and time reversed.
-…I won’t disappoint you, Kang Jun-hyeok!
“You’ll need to keep that promise. I’ll check again next time.”
Kang Jun-hyeok hung up the phone.
‘As expected.’
Information couldn’t be transmitted to just anyone. After a moment’s thought, Kang Jun-hyeok called Pixie. When he shared the memory, her eyes went wide as saucers.
[!!! What?! What?! What is this memory?! My goodness! You! You! You’re a returner! That’s it! That’s what it was!]
“It transmits to you.”
It was impossible with Yu Jin-ha, but possible with Pixie.
What was the difference?
After a moment’s thought, Kang Jun-hyeok reached a conclusion.
‘Is it those who directly involve themselves in my affairs or offer me help?’
No.
It was too vague to think of it that way. A larger condition would be necessary. As Kang Jun-hyeok’s mind worked, he made an inference.
“Those who have entrusted everything to me?”
[What are you saying?]
Kang Jun-hyeok explained his hypothesis. Pixie stroked her mandibles.
[It’s possible. The Master of the Universe wouldn’t attach such crude conditions. Perhaps only those who have entrusted you with their will, their future, their strength, and their very dreams—all of it—can receive this transmission.]
Those who had resolved to share their fate with Kang Jun-hyeok.
Only such beings had the qualification to perceive Kang Jun-hyeok’s past.
It wasn’t certain, but it was a highly plausible inference. The three present here had all entrusted everything to Kang Jun-hyeok.
[Wait a moment.]
Eldyria, who had heard the explanation, opened her mouth.
By that logic, didn’t it sound as though she, a great Transcendent, had entrusted everything to Kang Jun-hyeok?
[Could it not be a different condition? For instance, one who acknowledges him as their successor might receive special….]
[I don’t think there are such detailed conditions.]
[….]
[Probably at this point, there are only three of us. The Blacksmith merely uses you as a tool to achieve his own dreams. Of course, this is just speculation.]
“Hmm.”
Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes narrowed.
If that speculation was correct, there could be a change in his actions.
It meant that if the conditions were met, he could make others aware of the future as well.
“I understand well enough.”
[Right, so that’s how it is… I knew something was strange, but I never imagined there’d be such a secret. This is getting interesting.]
Pixie laughed with delight and snapped her fingers.
[1,000 Starlight.]
[I’d like to give you unlimited Starlight, but there are restrictions in place. This is the maximum I can provide at this point. Sorry.]
“This is enough. See you next time then.”
[Of course! You’ll have plenty to think about for a while.]
Pixie departed with evident delight.
Only then did Kang Jun-hyeok recline on the bed. Now he could finally examine the other rewards.
[Active Skill: Pixie’s Mana Control]
[Grade: High Grade]
[Proficiency: E]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[For 3 seconds, you gain Pixie’s Mana Control ability. During that time, usable skills are limited to Pixie’s Skills. Senses are enhanced during skill activation.]
The part about enhanced senses was new.
It wasn’t difficult to guess what it meant.
Pixie’s Mana Box was a skill that couldn’t be handled without abilities equivalent to a Transcendent’s realm.
Perhaps it meant providing some portion of that capability.
Unfortunately, for Kang Jun-hyeok, this change held no significance. He could already handle it perfectly. To use it meaningfully, he would need to surpass Proficiency A.
In other words, it meant his Proficiency in Pixie’s Mana Control had already reached A level.
[Active Skill: Pixie’s Mana Box]
[Grade: High Grade]
[Proficiency: D]
[Cooldown: None]
[Summon a high-dimensional Pixie’s Box by consuming Mana. There are no limits to the boxes that can be summoned. By interpreting the structure of the Mana Box, you can now better understand its concept.]
The Mana Box’s Proficiency also became D. The change was in understanding the Mana Box. Testing it, Mana consumption was reduced by half compared to before.
[Active Skill: Immovable Stance]
[Grade: Intermediate]
[Proficiency: E]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Maintain your current posture for 1 second. You are unaffected by external forces. You can cancel the skill whenever you wish.]
Next was the Proficiency increase for Immovable Stance.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression shifted. The Immovable Stance was undoubtedly an excellent skill, but it had a flaw—it forced immobility for one second.
However, upon reaching E Grade, I could now cancel it at any moment. It was a remarkably beneficial improvement.
Next came the Perfect Clear Reward.
[Captain-Rank Shattered Core]
[Grade: High Grade]
[A core belonging to a Captain of the Empire from Somewhere. Damaged and ravaged by runaway power, only a fraction of its strength remains.]
The power contained within had nearly dissipated, yet its foreign essence lingered. If I brought it to the Madman, he could craft something worthwhile from it.
And this—this was the true reward.
[Key to the Tower Back Entrance]
[With this key, you may enter the Tower’s Back Area. It can be used only once in that place.]
A special reward given directly by Earth’s Administrator.
A key to the Tower Back Entrance? It was a reward I had never seen before. I gazed at the key for a moment, then tightened my grip.
Whoosh!
And I was transported to a peculiar location.
It was a Chaos-Filled Space where countless objects lay intermingled. As if someone had carelessly mixed and scattered things from the Universe and Outside the Universe together.
[…What a bizarre place. My head is spinning.]
Even Eldyria felt dizziness in this distorted space.
Within that space, doors appeared.
White doors drifted about in various places. Those were where the key would be used. I approached the nearest door.
[23]
A single number was inscribed upon it.
The moment I saw that number, a possibility flashed through my mind.
‘…Surely not.’
Impossible. Such a thing couldn’t be possible. It would be a direct negation of the Tower’s Laws.
Yet simultaneously, I felt certain my suspicion was correct.
I placed my hand upon the door.
Crack!
In that instant, the world beyond the door became visible.
A Vast Plain
Two groups clashed upon that plain, slaughtering one another.
Soldiers clad in armor bearing the emblem of the Red Cross.
And soldiers clad in armor bearing the emblem of a blue angel.
They cried out.
[Silence! There is but one Great God! It is Hareta!]
Shut up! There is only one Great God! It is Lord Hareta!
“Heh.”
My conjecture had been correct. I let out a hollow laugh. Manbyeonggi, too, seemed to grasp it and murmured.
[I remember their forms from before.]
“Of course you do.”
The World of Faith, where each believed in their own gods and slew one another for that belief.
Beyond this door lay the 23rd Floor.
Kang Jun-hyeok examined the other doors around him. Each bore a number, and no two were the same.
[44]
[3]
[17]
[So this is what the back entrance meant.]
Tower’s Back Area.
Through this place, I could view all the Floors of the Tower.
And by using the Key to open a door, I could enter that Floor.
In other words, through the Key to the Tower Back Entrance, I could challenge a Floor I had already cleared once more.
