All Master of 100 Floors Episode 025

Guild

[Do as you please. I will merely watch.]

Manbyeonggi had already given up. He had abandoned everything. He had no intention of achieving anything at this point. If he had such intentions from the beginning, he wouldn’t have ended up in the form of Manbyeonggi.

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t mind. After all, it was something he would prove himself.

‘Gold is 3,221 gold, huh.’

Perhaps because he had defeated a defeated one, it was quite a lot of gold. How should he use this to make things go better in the future?

As he was pondering, a knocking sound echoed.

Knock knock.

Someone had come to visit his house.

Kang Jun-hyeok got up from his seat and headed to the door. When he grabbed the door handle and opened it, there was a tired-looking young woman. She seemed quite exhausted, with dark circles that had descended almost to her nose.

The woman asked in a weary tone.

“…Mr. Kang Jun-hyeok. Is that correct?”

“That’s right.”

“Just a moment.”

The woman unfolded a paper from her bosom. On the paper was a person’s face drawn. It appeared to be some kind of composite sketch. The woman’s face froze as she looked at the composite sketch.

The appearance in the composite sketch was similar to Kang Jun-hyeok.

“…Huh?”

The woman alternately looked at the composite sketch and Kang Jun-hyeok’s face. She blinked as if doubting what she was seeing.

But no matter how much she looked, the appearance in the composite sketch was the same as Kang Jun-hyeok.

The woman asked with a trembling voice.

“Are you by any chance… the Perfect Player?”

Perfect Player.

He could immediately understand what that meant.

‘So that’s what they’re calling me.’

Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.

“If what you’re looking for is the person who killed the mantis on Floor 0, then yes.”

“…Hic!”

The woman hiccupped.

“Have you calmed down a bit?”

“Ah. Yes, yes. Thank you…”

The woman, who had coolly downed a glass of water, spoke haltingly. Guided inside by Kang Jun-hyeok, she had a restless expression on her face.

Kang Jun-hyeok waited quietly. The woman, having barely calmed down, adjusted her clothes and took out a business card from her bosom.

“F-first, let me introduce myself. Nice to meet you, Mr. Kang Jun-hyeok. I’m affiliated with Baekdu Mountain Guild. My name is Lee Yeon-ji.”

Kang Jun-hyeok accepted the business card. The business card contained exactly the information Lee Yeon-ji had mentioned.

‘Baekdu Mountain Guild.’

With the appearance of the Tower, the current order had collapsed.

The state, unable to protect its citizens, failed to function as a state and lost credibility.

And guilds began to rise and fill that void. This was a global change, not just limited to Korea.

While guilds of various sizes existed, there were three guilds that wielded the greatest influence in Korea.

One was Baekdu Mountain Guild.

Another was Green Guild.

And the last one was Freedom Guild.

Among them, Baekdu Mountain Guild had approached him first. Kang Jun-hyeok muttered.

“You found me quite well. I haven’t really gone outside since entering the Tower.”

About 20 days had passed since he entered the Tower. There would be many people looking for him. But no one had found him.

The reason was simple.

He hadn’t shown himself outside.

He had ordered all necessary ingredients for delivery. He hadn’t left his room even once in 20 days. Even if someone tried to find him, it was impossible.

But if they had still found him, there was only one possibility.

“You moved around on foot directly.”

“…Yes.”

Lee Yeon-ji nodded with a haggard face.

How do you find someone who doesn’t show themselves? There was the simplest and most brute-force method. It was to search every building and floor where people lived.

An enormous amount of manpower was invested. Even then, it was uncertain whether they could find him.

If Kang Jun-hyeok had been living in some mountain village, it would have been nothing but wasted effort. It was practically insane, but Baekdu Mountain Guild had succeeded in this action.

“That’s a chilling obsession.”

“S-sorry!”

“I wasn’t criticizing. You must have had quite a hard time.”

They would have had to investigate everyone named Kang Jun-hyeok with similar appearance and age. Running around on foot, no less. There was a reason Lee Yeon-ji looked tired.

“Yes, yes… That’s right…”

Lee Yeon-ji nodded while glancing at Kang Jun-hyeok.

‘This person is…’

The Perfect Player.

The one who killed the mantis on Floor 0 and achieved Perfect Clear from Floor 1 to Floor 2.

And probably, judging from the announcement that had just come out, he had achieved Perfect Clear up to Floor 3.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was currently the most famous person in the world. As such, Lee Yeon-ji had speculated that Kang Jun-hyeok would have an inhuman personality.

But when she actually talked to him, that wasn’t the case. Rather, he communicated well and was considerate. He looked decent too. She was quite surprised by this unexpected turn.

‘A guild, huh.’

He had thought they would come eventually. The timing wasn’t bad either. Kang Jun-hyeok nodded.

“Good. So the fact that you searched for me like this means you want something from me.”

“Ah, yes, yes! P-please wait just a moment.”

“I don’t mind.”

Having received permission, Lee Yeon-ji hurriedly went outside and began making a phone call.

“Guild Leader!”

The secretary burst through the door. Baekdusan, who had been taking a nap in the room, jerked awake in shock.

“What, what! What is it!”

“Guild Leader! Wake up!”

“I’m awake! You bastard!”

Baekdusan shouted at the secretary who was shaking him. The secretary staggered and covered his ears at that roar.

Having woken up, Baekdusan irritably adjusted his clothes.

“I told you not to come when I’m taking a nap!”

“…Still, to shout like that. Have you forgotten that I’m a weak human who doesn’t climb the Tower?”

“Shut up. Anyway, what’s the matter?”

Baekdusan’s gaze toward the secretary was filled with annoyance.

“Anyway, why did you wake me up? If it’s something useless, you’ll get hit again.”

“That won’t happen.”

The secretary, who had staggered to his feet, spoke with a serious expression.

“We’ve made contact.”

“Contact?”

“Kang Jun-hyeok.”

Baekdusan’s eyes widened.

“…Really?”

“Congratulations, Guild Master. That brute force method worked. From what we’ve confirmed, our guild is first.”

Deploying guild members to check every house where people lived. It was the method Baekdusan had proposed. The secretary had opposed it, saying it was too inefficient and had low probability, but Baekdusan had boldly pushed it through.

And now the results were in. Baekdusan swallowed hard.

“…What did he say?”

“He said he’d like to have a conversation with the Guild Master.”

“Tell him it’s possible right away!”

“Yes.”

The secretary nodded. Baekdusan quickly picked up his cell phone and waited with an anxious expression. After a moment, the ringtone sounded.

Baekdusan answered the phone without delay.

“…Hello.”

It was a low voice that didn’t suit Baekdusan. The secretary frowned for a moment. The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before answering.

-You don’t need to use that kind of voice. I know what kind of person you are.

“Ah, um. Um. Is that so.”

Baekdusan awkwardly changed his voice back to normal.

-Guild Master of Baekdu Mountain Guild. Baekdusan. Is that correct?

“That’s correct. And you are… Kang Jun-hyeok, correct?”

-If what you’re looking for is a Perfect Player, then yes.

Jackpot. Baekdusan struggled to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise.

“The fact that you called… may I think that you have interest in our guild?”

-…Well, it’s not that different.

The voice on the other end of the phone was strange.

It was as if his interest would be different from what Baekdusan expected.

But Baekdusan couldn’t pay attention to that. He just focused on the thought that Kang Jun-hyeok was interested in his guild. Baekdusan stood up from his seat.

“Then let’s meet right away! I’ll come to you!”

It was an extremely submissive attitude for a guild master.

But the secretary had an expression that said ‘of course.’ Earth’s only Perfect Player. Considering the information he had revealed about the 2nd Floor, the value of a player like Baekdusan was infinitely low.

-No.

Words of refusal.

Baekdusan’s heart sank for a moment. But he quickly felt relieved at the words that followed.

-I’m planning to go up to the 4th Floor soon, so let’s meet after that. You’ll have things to prepare.

“Ah, understood! Then I’ll come to see you at that time!”

-Then.

Let’s meet then.

With those words, the call ended.

Baekdusan giggled.

“Good! Very good! How about that judgment of mine that you said was so useless, that you begged me not to waste manpower like that!”

“….”

The secretary had a very displeased expression but couldn’t argue back. After all, results had come out.

“Good!”

Baekdusan clenched his fist.

If Kang Jun-hyeok joined his guild, the situation would be reversed. They could crush something like the Green Guild in an instant.

Baekdusan was so happy he wanted to dance. No. He actually did dance. The secretary shook his head as if he had seen something unseemly.

And Kang Jun-hyeok, who had ended the call, returned the cell phone to Lee Yeon-ji.

“It’s finished.”

“Yes, yes.”

“I’ll talk directly with Mr. Baekdusan about the rest.”

“Thank you!”

Lee Yeon-ji quickly nodded and hurriedly left. Her expression contained joy. She had met directly with Kang Jun-hyeok and even succeeded in connecting him with the guild master. Her contribution was very significant. She couldn’t help but anticipate the reward.

Kang Jun-hyeok, left alone, sat on the bed.

“A guild, huh.”

It was faster than he had thought, but it was something that would come eventually.

And if things went this way, he had one more place to contact. Baekdusan was happy thinking that Kang Jun-hyeok would join them, but Kang Jun-hyeok had no such intention.

He picked up the cell phone. He entered a number from memory. The movement was very familiar. It was a movement as if he had repeated it dozens of times.

The ringtone rang several times, then someone answered the phone.

-…Who is this.

“Guild Master of Green Guild. Kim Tae-yeon. Is that correct?”

-…Who are you? How do you know my number?

A wary voice rang out. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t mind and spoke.

“This is Kang Jun-hyeok.”

-…What?

“I think I’m probably the person you’re looking for.”

-…!

The sound of swallowing could be heard from the other end of the phone. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke quietly.

“Is it okay to talk?”

Kang Jun-hyeok, having finished the conversation, ended the call.

“I’ll have some things to do when I get back.”

Before that, he was thinking of going up to the 4th Floor. He should spend the gold he had obtained. Kang Jun-hyeok opened the shop.
