All Master of 100 Floors Episode 253
Highest-Grade Active Skill (1)
[Egg of Conception]
[Grade: Advanced]
[An egg capable of conceiving all things in the world. The demon of conception and infertility. Can only be created through Zephar’s Authority. If you carry the egg while strongly thinking of your desire, after a long time passes, the life of your wish will hatch.]
The Egg of Conception gave birth to the existence desired by its owner.
If one desired a dragon, a dragon was born. If one desired a chimera that did not exist anywhere in the world, a chimera was born. Because the birth of any desired life was possible, it was a catalyst coveted by countless mortals.
Unfortunately, Kang Jun-hyeok could not use it.
The egg required a terribly long time for life to hatch from it.
Even the simplest life required decades to be born, while complex or powerful life required hundreds of years. Given his circumstances, it was impossible to properly utilize the egg.
Still, there was no problem. He could simply use it as a catalyst with the Enchantress.
[Title: Adversary of Lords]
[72 Demons. You struck a blow against a demon of the Lord class. It is a miracle.]
[When confronting Gods, Transcendents, or Demon Lords, all Stats +20.]
All Stats +20. A simple yet very powerful effect. The only drawback was that the targets were beings beyond the hierarchy’s boundaries.
The Perfect Player title granted all Gold +5% upon Clear. After confirming everything, Kang Jun-hyeok went to find the Enchantress and handed her the Egg of Conception.
“The Egg of Conception? Isn’t this something only Zephar can create?”
The Enchantress looked at Kang Jun-hyeok in bewilderment.
“I understood that you are currently on the 50s Floors. How could there have been a way to meet Zephar at such a level? No, more than that—how did Zephar obtain this?”
“There’s always a way.”
“My, it seems you’ve made a contract with someone truly remarkable. This is fortunate for me as well. What do you wish for?”
“I want to enchant a skill. Is it possible to enchant the skills of Victors as well?”
“Unfortunately, I have not been granted permission to go that far.”
The Enchantress shook her head. Kang Jun-hyeok clicked his tongue in disappointment.
“I see, that won’t work then.”
Mixing the power of Victors with the power of the Universe. He knew well what would be accomplished if such a thing were done. But unfortunately, it seemed impossible with the Enchantress.
Then the choice was clear. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke.
“Enchant the Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear.”
The opponents who would appear ahead were strong.
Though it would be rare for them to be on Zephar’s level, there would be a considerable number of those who could be called his equal or superior in dignity. Naturally, he needed to strengthen skills befitting such opponents.
“Understood.”
The Enchantress carefully received the Egg of Conception, and a wave of power trembled from her. Shortly after, that wave settled into Kang Jun-hyeok.
[Active Skill: Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear]
[Grade: Authority]
[Proficiency: E]
[Cooldown: 3 Days]
[Hurl a spear bearing the Authority of Jealousy. It possesses powerful physical force and shakes the emotions of those struck directly. The higher the target’s dignity compared to yours, the greater their power compared to yours, the might of the spear rises dramatically. Furthermore, it devours the target’s power, dignity, and the entirety of their life force, growing stronger with each strike.]
An effect was added to Jealousy’s Reverse Heaven Spear that allowed it to devour the target’s very power.
Even if the target defended, the defense itself would be consumed to increase the spear’s might. It had transformed into an even more formidable skill that would be difficult for even those of higher dignity to counter. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled with satisfaction.
“Excellent. You did well.”
“I should be grateful. Mixing a Demon’s Authority with a God’s Authority. It’s my first time attempting such a thing.”
The Enchantress murmured with delight.
After that, Kang Jun-hyeok summoned Pixie and transferred the memory to her. Pixie held her breath.
[…That creature born from the deal. Touvalt, right?]
Pixie was the Shop Owner of the Tower. Of course, she knew about Touvalt. Kang Jun-hyeok answered.
“Likely so.”
[Whew. This is something. This is really something. Fascinating. A Half-Human Half-Demon who seemed excessively stable—I wondered what he was up to—but if he was born that way, it makes sense. A deal between Justeria and Jeraph. I had no idea. It’s also amusing that Justeria finally recognized you at the end… quite remarkable.]
The satisfied Pixie transferred Starlight.
[550 Starlight.]
[Then that concludes it.]
“Of course not.”
Kang Jun-hyeok smiled and broached the main topic.
“A Highest-Grade Active Skill. I want to purchase one.”
A Highest-Grade Active Skill.
Among the Skills available for purchase at the Shop, it occupied the highest tier.
That was what Kang Jun-hyeok sought to acquire now.
Pixie let out a groan.
[…How much Gold do you have right now?]
“Around 230,000 Gold.”
[Merely at the 50s Floors, and you have 230,000 Gold… goodness.]
Pixie shook her head, collected herself, and began her explanation.
[The price of a Highest-Grade Active Skill is 200,000 Gold.]
200,000 Gold.
An astronomical sum.
[That’s not all. Even if you possessed the Gold alone, you couldn’t purchase it. You need the Qualification to obtain the Skill. First, your Achievement Stat must exceed 200.]
Achievement Stat could only be obtained by accomplishing feats the System itself recognized. The Acquisition Conditions were extraordinarily difficult, and raising the Stat was equally challenging. To reach 200—it was nearly an impossible condition.
And the conditions didn’t end there.
[You must possess at least three Skills that have reached Proficiency B. You must Clear a single Floor with a Clear Rate of 90% or higher. You must obtain at least one Authority Skill. You must possess at least two Stats exceeding 100, excluding Achievement.]
Each condition was brutally severe.
Currently, no one in the Universe satisfied these conditions.
Not a single soul. Except for Kang Jun-hyeok.
[You passed all of them, didn’t you?]
“Effortlessly.”
[I figured. I thought it would take at least several decades before anyone else could meet these conditions.]
Pixie muttered in disbelief.
Kang Jun-hyeok had passed every condition.
Yet that didn’t mean he could purchase a Highest-Grade Active Skill. As Pixie waved her hand, dozens of pages of Paper materialized before Kang Jun-hyeok.
[If you pass this Test, you can purchase a Highest-Grade Active Skill. The Test’s content is quite simple. Describe the Activation Conditions, usage methods, weaknesses, and strengths of every Skill you’ve obtained so far.]
How well did he understand the Tower System, and how deeply did he grasp the nature of Skills?
That was the Final Test.
The test was extraordinarily difficult. It required a complete understanding of every aspect of the skills one had acquired. A considerable number of Players had failed to pass this test despite fulfilling all other conditions.
But for Kang Jun-hyeok, there was no problem whatsoever. He began writing the content on paper.
And merely an hour later.
“I’m done.”
[…Perfect. Haha.]
Pixie laughed as if bewildered and waved her hand. A box appeared and fell into Kang Jun-hyeok’s hands.
[Here. Take it. No one else has ever possessed this.]
[You have acquired a Highest-Grade Active Skill Box.]

* * *
The price of a Highest-Grade Active Skill was a staggering 200,000 Gold.
One could purchase four High-Grade Active Skills with that amount, and still have enough left over to buy two hundred Lowest-Grade Active Skills.
Beyond that, it demanded multiple conditions that even an ordinary Player could not satisfy with just one. And the difficulty of the Final Test was exceptionally high.
But a Highest-Grade Active Skill possessed value commensurate with such demands.
‘I wonder what will come out.’
At the Highest-Grade level, there was no such thing as a dud—each skill was a jackpot in its own right.
However, since the effects of each skill differed dramatically, what one obtained would inevitably determine one’s future combat approach. Kang Jun-hyeok opened the box with anticipation.
[Active Skill: Red Giant acquired.]
[Active Skill: Red Giant]
[Grade: Highest-Grade]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 3 Days]
[Summons a portion of the Red Giant into this World.]
“…Hmm?”
[What is it? What skill did you get?]
Pixie peered over curiously. Kang Jun-hyeok replied with a lukewarm tone.
“Red Giant.”
This was a skill Kang Jun-hyeok had never encountered before.
In his previous life, those who purchased Highest-Grade Active Skills were exceedingly rare, so it was hardly surprising that an unfamiliar skill appeared. He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“I can’t even test this on Earth.”
It surely wasn’t summoning an actual Red Giant.
But even a portion of it would be dangerous. Based on the might of the Highest-Grade skills he knew, an entire region could collapse.
Still, it didn’t matter. The very next Floor—the 55th Floor—was the perfect place to test his power.
Three days later.
Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 55th Floor.
[55th Floor Quest.]
[Quell the chaos in the Coastal City.]
The 55th Floor Quest was to quell the chaos in the Coastal City.
The reason for the chaos was that the number of fish had drastically decreased, preventing fishing from functioning properly.
The cause was a change in the marine environment.
The predators streamed into the nearby sea and devoured the fish wholesale.
The clear condition was to eliminate all the predators and restore the fish population to its original numbers. It wasn’t particularly difficult.
But Kang Jun-hyeok had no intention of stopping there.
[Spirit Summon. High-Grade Flame Spirit Ultira.]
“Guard the city for now and catch fish regularly to provide for them.”
Ultira was a high-grade spirit from the 2nd Tier. Catching fish was nothing to her. Ultira grumbled.
[I’m supposed to play fisherman? My pride is wounded.]
“I’m sorry. But what I’m about to face is beyond your power.”
[Hmm. What are you planning to confront?]
“I’m going to hunt down the culprit that threw the sea into chaos.”
The sharp decline in fish population was because the predators had swarmed in.
And the reason the predators swarmed in was because they had been forcibly driven away by an even stronger predator.
Kang Jun-hyeok spoke.
“Kraken.”
A colossal monster. A king that dominated vast territories of the sea.
Its adult form existed in this world.
Kang Jun-hyeok’s target on Floor 55 was none other than the Kraken.
