All Master of 100 Floors Episode 282
63rd Floor. Tianhua White Star (1)
He could now travel the Universe itself.
It was neither metaphor nor exaggeration.
Having transcended the boundary of life, he could move freely through any extreme environment imaginable—even worlds without gravity, he could traverse under his own power.
This was the threshold for reaching the 4th Tier.
Stepping beyond the planet of his birth, able to wander the vast cosmos alone and untethered—that was a realm of solitary perfection.
Traveling between stars, roaming everywhere, meeting countless strong ones. Through that process, he would reach even higher realms.
From the 4th Tier onward, it was a realm that truly encompassed the Universe.
‘Though reaching it immediately would be difficult.’
The Universe was vast. Earth orbited in a region quite remote even by cosmic standards. With Kang Jun-hyeok’s current power, finding a planet with life elsewhere was still beyond him. The advantage of being able to travel space seemed, at first glance, to lack real merit.
But he was a Player.
Within the Tower, truly, much became possible.
The transformed Control had effects beyond cosmic travel alone. The distribution of his power had become cleanly streamlined. Put simply, the might and precision of his techniques had doubled, while his consumption of Mana and Internal Energy had fallen to half or less.
And Control had extended its influence even to his Skills.
Kang Jun-hyeok drew his dagger.
[Thrust.]
Crack-crack-crack!
He activated the Skill. Its effect was unmistakably different from before. The fierce Thrust now split and discharged in multiple waves.
Now he could even concentrate the Dragon Scale onto specific body parts as he wished. He had truly begun to master his Skills.
And his Observation had reached A.
[Passive Skill: Observation]
[Grade: Lowest Grade]
[Proficiency: A]
[The power to see, observe all things, and find the answer. Not merely the answer, but the reason, the process, the very operating principle. All can be grasped. You can see the true nature of all things. Even the incomprehensible becomes comprehensible, can be accepted, analyzed, and interpreted.]
When Observation reached A, he could now comprehend what had been incomprehensible before.
The meaning was simple.
Beings outside the Universe.
The Victors.
Even their power and concepts could be understood and analyzed.
And it was not only beings outside the Universe. The concepts of the Universe itself. Chaos theory. Quantum mechanics. For cosmic beings, he could even find answers to the concepts of countless probabilities and uncertainties that had seemed incomprehensible.
By combining the transformed Observation and Control, such things became possible.
Kang Jun-hyeok brought his foot down. At that moment, all the power around him sank away. Manbyeonggi and Eldyria, who had been watching quietly, started in surprise.
[What did you do?]
[That was…]
Manbyeonggi, after a moment’s thought, let out a groan.
[Did you divide your steps and unleash the Gyumrim Sambo in a single footfall?]
“Correct. I tested it on a whim, and it worked well.”
The Gyumrim Sambo normally required three separate footsteps to activate.
He had compressed all that power into a single step.
For Manbyeonggi, the creator of this Divine Technique, such a thing was impossible.
To divide a step conceptually and embed power into each fragment.
It violated the very logic of the Universe.
Manbyeonggi let out a dry laugh.
[Absurd to the utmost. Yet you’ve done it.]
The 4th Tier.
Kang Jun-hyeok had reached it.
And not at the lower end. He had achieved at least the middle tier. The walls had shattered, not merely broken, as two Skills reached A in Proficiency. Eldyria muttered, as if unable to comprehend.
[Normally, reaching the 4th Tier requires profound enlightenment. But you’re ascending through an entirely different path.]
“I’m a Player, after all.”
And it was also the truest path for him. He lacked the talent to achieve profound enlightenment.
And finally, there was the Skill that Sang-yeon had given him upon his defeat.
[Active Skill: Telekinesis Rampage]
[Grade: Supreme Grade]
[Proficiency: F]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Unleash your own Telekinesis into a rampage, controlling it in four distinct ways. The types are as follows.]
[Open]
[Pierce]
[Rain]
[Press]
Sang-yeon’s attacks had been extraordinarily threatening.
Focusing Telekinesis in various ways and wielding it, the power contained within could scarcely be called anything less than 4th Tier.
Now Kang Jun-hyeok could wield that very power.
[So a Victor has entrusted his strength to you.]
“So it would seem.”
Kang Jun-hyeok stared intently at the Skill.
Rocktia.
Jin-in.
And Sang-yeon as well.
Those who had entrusted their power to him.
When including those like Manbyeonggi and Eldyria, the weight only grew heavier.
“My shoulders feel heavy.”
But this was the very weight he had to accept.
Having finished his review, Kang Jun-hyeok checked the rewards window once more.
[Choose one of the following rewards.]
[1. Gold befitting your contribution.]
[2. Unique Equipment crafted solely for you.]
[3. Unique Skill crafted solely for you.]
[4. A very special Material Item.]
[5. Enhancement of your Stats befitting your contribution.]
Which to choose among these.
Upon reviewing the Skills he’d obtained, the answer came clearer than expected.
“Number 5. And from that, Health Points.”
As Control and Observation reached A in Proficiency, much had shifted in his understanding.
Mastering them alone would require considerable time.
In such circumstances, other Skills held little meaning.
Unique Equipment would be similarly ineffective.
So he would raise his Health Points.
For his Floor level, Kang Jun-hyeok’s Stats were monstrous; yet his opponents were far stronger. They wielded casual swings that could kill with a single hit.
A Player’s advantage lay in never suffering injury, allowing them to trade blows while fighting; yet that advantage was rapidly fading.
So he focused on Health Points. With his choice, light flooded into Kang Jun-hyeok’s body.
[Health Points +2530]
“Wow.”
He’d gained more Health Points than his previous maximum. Kang Jun-hyeok whistled. Since he’d concentrated all rewards from the Universal Quest into Health Points, it was only natural.
Having finished all confirmations, Kang Jun-hyeok returned to Earth.
“Then.”
Before ascending to the next Floor, he would need to examine his transformed power.
Rest was unnecessary. Kang Jun-hyeok closed his eyes and began to cultivate and refine his strength.

* * *
While Kang Jun-hyeok contemplated himself.
The Community was in uproar.
Naturally, the cause was Kang Jun-hyeok.
Until now, the worlds Kang Jun-hyeok had cleared Quests on numbered merely four or five at most.
By the whole Universe’s measure, it was a mere handful.
In that sense, many knew Kang Jun-hyeok was strong, but few truly understood him. Most felt merely a vague sense of ‘so that’s how it is.’
But the third Universal Quest was different.
In the final battle against Sang-yeon, every Player in the Universe had gathered.
The Community was accordingly far noisier than any time before.
[Achunta Lu (65th Floor): Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.]
[Aloanian Hasat (65th Floor): It’s hard to believe. Did he truly win? Against that monster?]
[Dang Jung-ryeong (68th Floor): ……I offered no resistance whatsoever. I was merely swept away by the power he casually unleashed and vanished. And yet he defeated such a being.]
Only those strong enough to participate in the Hierarchy could engage Sang-yeon—the very pinnacle of each world. They understood Kang Jun-hyeok was stronger than them, yet believed the gap not insurmountable. They had no doubt that through effort and cultivation, they could eventually reach him.
But Sang-yeon.
The power of that formidable being made them feel like insects.
They had instinctively judged they would die here. They were not beings mortals could resist.
Yet they had survived. Thanks to none other than Kang Jun-hyeok’s victory.
The strongest of each Universe realized they had been laboring under a delusion. Interest in Kang Jun-hyeok soared to unprecedented heights.
[Dang Jung-ryeong (68th Floor): The Universe possesses criteria by which strength is measured—what we call Hierarchy. By my judgment, he was neither 2nd Tier nor 3rd Tier. He was 4th Tier, beyond those. And 4th Tier is a realm that transcends the boundary of life itself.]
[Aloanian Hasat (65th Floor): But…… has he reached it already? He is but on the 62nd Floor now. We all climbed the Tower the same way—how is such a thing possible?]
[Dang Jung-ryeong (68th Floor): Is Perfect Clear truly that special? I have done my utmost to raise my Clear Rate, yet I cannot even approach his level. What method could he have employed?]
Countless questions flew back and forth. As a result, the Players of Earth became frantically busy.
[Olivia Turner (63rd Floor): Please, everyone. The private messages are too numerous to answer them all. I beg you to calm yourselves.]
[Kim Tae-yeon (59th Floor): Just stop contacting us!]
Kang Jun-hyeok.
The Perfect Player.
That name was carved into the Universe once more.

* * *
[63rd Floor Quest.]
[Become involved as much as possible in a great conflict occurring in the current world.]
[Time limit: one week.]
At that moment, having sufficiently cultivated his transformed power, Kang Jun-hyeok entered the 63rd Floor.
On the 63rd Floor, a massive conflict was unfolding across the entire world.
The reason was simple.
Kang Jun-hyeok looked up at the sky. There, a single white star obscured the heavens. Eldyria murmured.
[The Tianhua White Star.]
Countless stars exist in the Universe.
Among them, many wandering stars drifted without fixed orbit. The Tianhua White Star was one such vagrant.
Yet the Tianhua White Star possessed a singular peculiarity.
The materials contained within that star were of such rarity that they were scarcely found anywhere else in the Universe.
On the 61st Floor, at Mandala Planet, Kang Jun-hyeok had harvested countless precious materials. The Tianhua White Star itself possessed value comparable to those materials he had gathered.
Accordingly, when the Tianhua White Star suffered impact and shed fragments upon a particular world, fierce conflict erupted over the remnants.
The very conflict now occurring on the 63rd Floor sprang from this.
By chance having drawn near the star, fragments of the Tianhua White Star had fallen, and now beings fought to the death for possession of the remains.
The 63rd Floor Quest was to become involved in the conflict.
It was not explicitly a quest to resolve it; one could clear it even by escalating the turmoil. Taking fragments of the precious Tianhua White Star directly would also be an excellent method of clearing.
But that seemed far too simple.
There was an easier, simpler, and more elegant solution. Kang Jun-hyeok gazed at the Tianhua White Star drifting beyond the cosmos.
[Vision Focus.]
He expanded his field of sight. The distant star came into view.
Cosmic travel.
Even that was no longer impossible for him.
[Crack Movement.]
Kang Jun-hyeok’s form vanished from the planet.
