All Master of 100 Floors Episode 255
56th Floor. Reviving a Family Lineage
[Title: Isn’t the 56th Floor Family Lineage Insane?]
[No. What are these people? We revived their dying Family Lineage, yet they don’t trust us to the end?]
[Zhu Yongyang (59th Floor): They’re people with no gratitude for help. Is it that they can’t trust anyone who isn’t their own blood? They were infuriating.]

[55th Floor Quest Clear.]
[Rewards are determined based on your achievement.]
[Checking Achievement Rate…]
[Check Complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards are being granted.]
[7,845 Gold has been awarded.]
[Perfect Clear Reward [Kraken’s Brain] has been obtained.]
[Players who Perfect Cleared the 55th Floor: 1.]
[You alone!]
[Universal Announcement.]
[Celebrate with us! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 55th Floor has appeared. An achievement no one has accomplished until now!]
[Achievement + 3]
I successfully Perfect Cleared the 55th Floor without issue. The Perfect Player title granted the ability to swim freely in the sea, but unfortunately, for Kang Jun-hyeok, who possessed the Mermaid’s Orb, it held little special significance.
Eldyria murmured in a satisfied tone.
[To fell an Adult Form Kraken so easily. You’ve grown stronger.]
The Kraken’s true ability was Mind Control. Even an opponent of equal standing couldn’t help but be affected.
Normally, the continuous Mind Control inflicted during combat would have prevented me from concentrating and caused considerable trouble.
But Kang Jun-hyeok’s abnormal Mental Power could crush the Mind Control itself.
It was no exaggeration to say it was an absolute advantage in terms of compatibility.
Yet even so, defeating it this easily was certainly a remarkable feat. Moreover, Kang Jun-hyeok hadn’t even used all of his Divine Authorities.
That power was undoubtedly at a high level even within the 3rd Tier.
[You’re growing stronger at a remarkably rapid pace. It’s extraordinary.]
“I still have far to go.”
The higher one climbed in the hierarchy, the greater the difference in dignity became. No matter how special the Divine Authorities one possessed, there was still much ground to cover.
Countless Players had already despaired and broken upon hitting that wall.
But I would surely reach it.
The Supreme Realm that no one else had ever attained.
I transferred my memories to Pixie. At my current level, defeating the Kraken was hardly difficult. Pixie simply accepted it and moved on.
[100 Starlight.]
After that, I sought out the Blacksmith.
“Make me a Necklace from this.”
[Kraken’s Brain]
[Grade: High Grade]
[Brain of an Adult Form Kraken. Capable of containing the waves of a unique Mind Control. The mucus of the brain is remarkably tough and elastic to withstand that power.]
The Blacksmith murmured with interest.
“There was a Kraken on the 55th Floor?”
[Weren’t you supposed to know all the contents of each Floor as part of the Tower?]
“I received general information. But I simply forgot because I had no interest in it.”
[That’s just like you.]
“A Necklace, then. You’re asking for something troublesome. Very well. Come back in three days.”
“And I have one more request.”
Kang Jun-hyeok pulled out several iron ingots. He had asked Baekdusan for them in advance.
“Would you craft a Sword from these?”
“Hmm? A Sword? I can make one, but it won’t be the kind of thing you’d actually use right now.”
A Weapon made from ordinary iron ingots could hold no value for a Player. But there was no problem with that.
“It’s not for real combat, so it doesn’t matter. I’d like it in this particular form.”
Kang Jun-hyeok handed over a piece of Paper. On it was drawn a Sword of peculiar shape.
Bewilderment crossed the Blacksmith’s face.
“It’s closer to a decorative piece than a Weapon. Wait. I have a memory of a Sword in this form….”
The Blacksmith’s eyes widened as he searched his memory.
“You, you, you?”
The Blacksmith was flustered. Genuinely so—more than Kang Jun-hyeok had ever seen him before.
And it was inevitable. The form of the Sword that Kang Jun-hyeok had shown was something he shouldn’t be able to know in his current state.
“Is there a problem?”
Kang Jun-hyeok asked calmly. The Blacksmith, who had stared at him with a confused expression for a long while, slowly composed himself.
“…No. I’ll make it.”
“Thank you.”
Three days later, Kang Jun-hyeok visited the Blacksmith again.
“Here it is.”
[Necklace of Brain Matter]
[Equipment Slot: Necklace]
[Grade: High Grade]
[Magic Power + 20]
[Defense + 20]
[A Necklace crafted from the brain of a Kraken. The power of Mind Control contained within it is no different from a form of Magic Power itself.]
The Magic Power increase was a full twenty points. The Defense was respectable as well. With Pixie’s Magic Power Control, the rise in Magic Power held considerable value.
“And here is the Sword you requested.”
The Blacksmith handed over the Sword.
[Sword of Peculiar Form]
[Equipment Slot: Weapon]
[Grade: Lowest Grade]
[Attack Power + 1]
[A sword forged in an unusual form. It possesses no practical combat value whatsoever.]
Stats unsuitable for a weapon. Yet this was sufficient. Kang Jun-hyeok gathered his equipment with satisfaction.
“Thank you. This will prove useful for clearing the Floor.”
“…Indeed.”
The Blacksmith murmured quietly. Eldyria, unable to comprehend, asked.
[Why did you request a sword of such a form?]
“You will understand on the very next Floor.”
Kang Jun-hyeok entered Floor 56.
[Floor 56 Quest.]
[Restore a declining Family Lineage to prosperity.]
Floor 56 was an ordinary fantasy world.
The task was to perfectly restore a declining Family Lineage to its former glory.
That was precisely the Clear Condition for Floor 56.
The problem lay in one crucial fact: the survivors of the Family were extraordinarily insular.
Betrayed repeatedly, betrayed again and again, they had descended into ruin. As a result, the survivors trusted no one.
In my previous life, I myself had to cross the threshold of death countless times before I could finally stand alongside them.
Yet even then, they never fully believed in me, harboring suspicion until the very end.
Players had clicked their tongues at this difficulty. How could one earn their absolute recognition? After much discussion, a single conclusion emerged.
To masquerade as a bastard child of the Family, cast out long ago.
To accomplish this, one needed the sword that the bastard child had received as a token before being cast out.
Perhaps the Perfect Clear Condition required finding the bastard child somewhere in this world, or obtaining the sword of a bastard child already dead. Given that no bastard child had appeared despite countless Players attempting it, the latter seemed far more likely.
Kang Jun-hyeok did not know where that sword was. It was quite possible that even years would pass without finding it.
So Kang Jun-hyeok had no intention of searching for the sword.
“Behold this sword. It is proof that I am your Successor.”
Kang Jun-hyeok showed the survivors the sword he had commissioned from the Blacksmith. Upon seeing it, the survivors wept and collapsed to their knees.
“Ah, ahhhhh…!”
“Unmistakable! It is unmistakably the sword of our Family!”
“You were alive! And not only that, you have come here to save the Family that abandoned you!”
In an instant, Kang Jun-hyeok had earned their perfect trust.
Eldyria, who had been observing silently, let out a soft groan.
[Now I understand why the Blacksmith was flustered. The reality that you have returned to the past strikes anew.]
Kang Jun-hyeok knew that a specific form of sword was necessary to clear Floor 56.
For that reason, he had asked the Blacksmith to forge it in advance.
It was a shortcut only one who could perceive the future could take.
Once the troublesome condition was resolved, the Clear itself was not difficult at all. With a strong being of the 3rd Tier present, one could overturn the Kingdom. In merely a month, the Family had been perfectly revived.
[Floor 56 Quest Clear.]
[Your reward will be determined according to your achievements.]
[Confirming Achievement Rate…]
[Confirmation complete.]
[Achievement Rate: 100%]
[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards have been granted.]
[34,112 Gold has been awarded.]
[You have obtained the Perfect Clear Reward: Gem Pouch.]
[Players who have achieved a Perfect Clear on the 56th Floor: 1.]
[You alone!]
[Universal Announcement.]
[Please celebrate! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of the 56th Floor has appeared. An achievement no one has accomplished until now!]
[Achievement + 2]
The rewards were abundant Gold and Gems.
Pixie, who had received the memories, made a bewildered expression.
[…Right. You were capable of that method. Well, this. It’s surprising all over again.]
[200 Starlight.]
Kang Jun-hyeok then sought out the Blacksmith and spoke.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to clear the 56th Floor without any problems.]
“Of course. With that, it’s not a difficult floor.”
The Blacksmith gazed at Kang Jun-hyeok intently.
His eyes held a tremendous depth of emotion, and the greatest among them was curiosity.
How did you know the contents of the 56th Floor?
Kang Jun-hyeok shrugged at the meaning contained in that gaze.
“I wish I could tell you, but I cannot. Because you do not yet trust me completely.”
He could only speak the truth to those who had entrusted him with everything. The Blacksmith was still in the position of testing Kang Jun-hyeok.
“Hmm.”
The Blacksmith closed his eyes. After a long silence, he opened his mouth.
“I do not trust you.”
“I understand.”
“You are strong. You are exceptional. You are special. But… you are still insufficient to earn me.”
And so the Blacksmith spoke.
“The next floor. The 57th Floor. There I will set my third condition. You will understand when you arrive.”
The 57th Floor.
Kang Jun-hyeok recalled his memories.
It was an unremarkable floor. A world with a fantasy setting, with a few mysterious places known only by rumor. Finding one of them meant clearing it.
But with the Blacksmith’s condition at stake, it would not end so simply. Kang Jun-hyeok nodded.
“Understood.”
Three days later, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 57th Floor.
[57th Floor Quest.]
[Find the world’s hidden mysterious places.]
[The Clear Rate will change depending on the mystery level of the places you discover.]
[The Quest will automatically terminate after two months.]
This much was what Kang Jun-hyeok already knew.
And from this point onward, it was a Quest even he did not know.
Upon reading the condition, Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t help but let out a dry laugh.
“This is insane.”
[Hidden Quest: Clear the Blacksmith’s third condition.]
[Third Condition: Infiltrate the Dragon Lair on Floor 57 and retrieve the Dragon’s treasure.]
[Upon Success: The Blacksmith will acknowledge you, unlocking the armory. Conditions to make him your Retainer will be unlocked.]
[Upon Failure: The Blacksmith will never acknowledge you.]
