All Master of 100 Floors Episode 229
51st Floor. Elf Village (1)
[Title: How beautiful…]
[So this is what an Elf is… It’s as if a God sculpted them.]
[But why is their guard so strong? I nearly got hit by an arrow approaching them.]

* * *
Kang Jun-hyeok was shocked.
The value of the back door key was absurdly immense.
It meant I could receive a floor’s reward one more time.
Moreover, I wouldn’t be receiving merely identical rewards.
Clear rewards were incredibly diverse. For example, from the 49th Floor, I had obtained Blood Shadow Divine Technique and Primordial Unity Mental Cultivation Method.
But even without that, a Perfect Clear would have been possible.
By becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Leader and gathering the secret martial arts techniques granted only to the Alliance Leader along with all manner of Spirit Medicine, I could have achieved a Perfect Clear.
Even without that, it could have served as a card to challenge again if a Perfect Clear failed.
Considering all of this, the value of this item was immeasurably vast. Kang Jun-hyeok quickly scanned through the doors.
‘There are no floors above the 50th Floor…’
It appeared I could only enter floors I had already cleared. And I could discern one more thing.
Floors from the 69th Floor onward could not be entered with the back door key.
Though there was no explicit information, the moment I entered the back area, such intuition struck me.
From the 70th Floor onward, restrictions were in place because they could no longer be called simple Tower floors.
It was far too precious to use now. I should save it for truly important floors—ones where I could receive incomparable rewards. Several floors flashed through my mind in an instant.
‘The 60th Floor, 66th Floor. The 69th Floor.’
For now, I should preserve it for those floors.
Having composed myself, Kang Jun-hyeok checked the next reward.
[Mothership Control Device]
[A tool capable of controlling and commanding the Player’s Mothership.]
The Mothership Control Device resembled a square box. The moment I grasped it, its effects and usage naturally flowed into my mind.
At that instant, Kang Jun-hyeok paused.
‘This is…’
Seeing is believing. Kang Jun-hyeok moved to the Backhill, which I had been using as a training ground until now. The mountain was completely devastated, unable to withstand the aftermath.
After steadying my breath, I poured strength into the hand gripping the box.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The Backhill began to transform. Piles of stone tumbled down, landslides occurred, and the ruined ground was excavated flat. Stone turned to dust, becoming earth that kept the land firm and solid.
Rumble rumble rumble!
After some time passed, the Backhill, now a ruin, vanished completely, and a flat expanse of ground formed. Manbyeonggi murmured.
[A tool that controls the planet itself.]
“So that’s how it works.”
This could reshape nature.
Altering the planet’s structure or moving its position itself was impossible. But local terrain design was feasible. I could mold the world like clay, reshaping the terrain into any form I desired.
While the item held little practical value for ascending the Tower, that didn’t mean its utility was negligible.
Floors and Quests set against Earth as a backdrop appeared frequently even beyond the 74th Floor.
If I could modify the terrain itself in this manner, it would prove invaluable in those scenarios. Dozens of solutions immediately flooded my mind.
“Let me try something simple.”
Kang Jun-hyeok tightened his grip on the Box.
In an instant, the Ground collapsed inward. Kang Jun-hyeok continued designing—carving out the Underground, erecting Pillars to form a Ceiling, compressing the Dirt to its limit to maximize its Hardness.
Within roughly ten minutes, I had successfully constructed a vast Underground Training Ground.
When I swung my Sword lightly, the Wall fractured, but it quickly repaired itself.
“This should suffice.”
As my power grew stronger, finding suitable training locations on Earth became increasingly difficult. I had used the Mothership Control Tool to create my own Training Ground deep beneath the surface.
The Backhill Key, the Mothership Control Tool—both were remarkable Items. Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression grew satisfied.
Afterward, Kang Jun-hyeok began cultivating his strength in the Underground.
Eldyria, observing him, murmured as though a question had occurred to her.
[You’re on the 50th Floor yet achieved a Perfect Clear of the 74th Floor. That means you possess such power. Then couldn’t you ascend to the 74th Floor in one breath?]
“Simply ascending would be possible, yes. But Perfect Clear operates in an entirely different domain.”
The methods for achieving a Perfect Clear were, quite literally, boundless.
One could proceed easily if one wished, but if one deliberately chose the harder path, there were several Floors with Difficulty far exceeding the 74th Floor.
Take the 39th Floor immediately—the City of Espers. The Girl who manipulates reality was no less formidable than a Captain from the Empire from Somewhere. And the 51st Floor, depending on the Clear approach, could prove even more challenging than the 74th Floor.
Eldyria let out a soft chuckle.
[Your design is peculiar. What do you seek?]
“I’ve never built anything ordinary.”
Kang Jun-hyeok continued his training.
And two days later.
A System Window directed toward the entire Universe appeared before them.

* * *
[Universal Announcement.]
[Greetings, everyone. This is the Administrator of the Tower.]
[Quite some time has passed since the first Universal Quest concluded!]
[The Universe opened, and you all came to meet one another! It must have been quite the shock. Some of you have gained confidence in your own strength, while others have not!]
[And now, the next phase begins!]
[One month from now, the second Universal Quest will commence!]
[This Quest will transcend mere beginnings and show you all the direction you must take forward! It will not be easy, I assure you!]
[So, during the remaining month, climb the Tower diligently!]
The second Universal Quest.
The Administrator of the Tower had warned it would not be easy.
And in truth, it proved to be exactly as difficult.
Twenty percent of all Players in the Universe.
That many perished in the second Universal Quest.
Kim Tae-yeon, who had been the leader of the Green Guild, also fell in this Quest. Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes darkened.
‘One month.’
Climb the Tower and cultivate strength. To clear it perfectly without a single failure.
Kang Jun-hyeok continued his training relentlessly.
And one day later, he had completed all preparations to enter the 51st Floor.
[Empire from Somewhere’s High-Output Gauntlet]
[Equipment Slot: Weapon]
[Grade: High]
[Attack Power + 100]
[Equipment Ability: Delivers a powerful punch strike dealing 13,000 damage.]
[Cooldown: 3 days]
[A gauntlet crafted using a Warship and Core from the Empire from Somewhere. Though damaged, a mighty Core was infused within, elevating its might further.]
I had requested the damaged Core from the Madman to reinforce the gauntlet. As a result, the Equipment Ability’s damage increased by 5,000.
Transmitting through regression was impossible. As Pixie had predicted, only those who entrusted everything to him seemed to qualify. Eldyria grumbled about it being unsatisfactory.
[Could there not be some other condition? Perhaps one who was accepted as a successor….]
“As Pixie mentioned before, the Master of the Universe doesn’t seem the type to impose such trivial conditions.”
[Ugh.]
Soon after, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 51st Floor.
It was verdant vegetation.
Fresh nature stirred, and a gentle breeze circled through the air.
Until now, there had been many Floors with forests as their backdrop. But the 51st Floor was special among them. The aura of nature was so potent that merely breathing filled one’s heart with a sense of abundance.
And then the Floor’s objective appeared.
[51st Floor Quest.]
[Rescue the Elves and protect them.]
[Time limit: 20 days.]

* * *
Elves.
Children of nature and friends of spirits. This Floor required me to protect and save them.
But the Quest proved difficult from the start.
The Elves of this World harbored hostility toward Humans.
Elves are beautiful. Moreover, they do not age. Such qualities were more than enough to captivate countless Humans.
The Elves of the 51st Floor faced dire circumstances. Humans who dominated the Continent hunted them relentlessly, enslaving them as Slaves.
Approaching them would not be simple. Even with Persuasion and Acting Skill, deep-rooted hostility could not be overcome.
In other words, I needed to earn their gratitude through benevolence.
To the east lay the Elf Village.
But Kang Jun-hyeok turned westward instead, sprinting through the Forest before hurling himself skyward.
[Pixie’s Magic Power Control]
Near-omnipotent command over Magic Power flooded through my entire being. I snapped my fingers.
[Enhancement. Pixie’s Treasure Intuition.]
Pixie’s Treasure Intuition was a Skill that revealed the locations of Treasures.
And the Elves were precisely worthy of being called Treasures.
My Treasure Intuition, infinitely expanded through Magic Power Control, detected the Treasures around me. To the east, I sensed hundreds of Elves gathered together—likely the Elf Village.
And to the west, where I was heading, I sensed four Elves.
[Crack Movement.]
Whoosh.
In an instant, I closed the distance. A carriage moved along the Old Road. Kang Jun-hyeok blocked its path.
“Hello.”
“What, what is this!”
“You! Where did you come from!”
They were brutal Mercenaries. Their armor bore countless scratches from recent combat. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled faintly and raised a finger.
“I have business with the people inside that carriage you’re dragging. So, will you hand them over peacefully?”
“Nonsense! These are spoils we captured!”
“A thief! Kill him!”
The Mercenaries rushed forward with twisted faces. Kang Jun-hyeok took a light step forward.
Thud.
Their chests caved in.
With a wave of my hand, the Mercenaries were driven into trees without even a scream. In less than five seconds, all of them were annihilated. Kang Jun-hyeok approached the carriage casually.
Creak.
I tore open the locked carriage door, and a shrill scream erupted from within.
“Kyaaaah!”
“P-please save us!”
Long, pointed ears came into view. They were children who had not yet reached adulthood. Yet even so, their undeniable beauty was evident.
These were Elf Children.
The Mercenaries had captured children who had ventured into the Forest and were dragging them away as Slaves. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke with a gentle expression.
“I am not your enemy. I have come to save you.”
“Ugh, u-ugh.”
“U-ugh….”
Persuasion and Acting Skill activate. Yet the children’s faces remained etched with terror.
Both skills approached omnipotence, but they could not suppress the denial that welled up from the depths of their hearts.
Still, there was no problem. I had anticipated this. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke with measured calm.
“I am a god.”
“…Pardon?”
At Kang Jun-hyeok’s words, the Elf Children’s faces twisted in confusion. Yet they showed no sign of acceptance. Instead, their expressions grew even more guarded.
So Kang Jun-hyeok activated a skill lightly.
‘This isn’t what I’ll be taking from this place, but still.’
The more one could gather, the better.
“My name is Rukator.”
That was the past—the name I had claimed on the 30th Floor when I called myself God’s Avatar.
“I have descended into this world as an avatar to save you elves.”
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance.]
