All Master of 100 Floors Episode 039

 

 

Floor 7. Yulsir (1)

 

 

[Title: What is Floor 7?]

[I cleared it, but I’m wondering what this is. I don’t even feel like I did anything.]

[And what was that disappointed look at the end? I cleared it but it doesn’t feel like I cleared it…]

[Pham Min Deuk (Floor 23): It was a strange floor. Even now, it’s one of the strangest floors.]

[Albert Rutan (Floor 11): More than that, those conditions. Is there anyone who can fulfill them?]

[Kang San (Floor 14): Probably not. I don’t think there’s any crazy person who would read all of that.]

 

 

While Kang Jun-hyeok was climbing the floors.

Earth was in chaos.

It was quite natural. There had been no penalty for not climbing the Tower. People thought they didn’t need to climb unless they desired power.

The majority of people had given up on the Tower and were living ordinary lives.

But suddenly they would conduct a test.

They would give penalties to those who failed to show results.

It felt like a bolt from the blue. The Community was burning like crazy.

 

[Kang Ji-an (Floor 2): No way. What is this! You said we didn’t need to climb the Tower!]

[Luton Oliver (Floor 1): Damn! What the hell is this! What do you mean you’re suddenly giving penalties!]

[Arain Alibana (Floor 1): Please save me. Please.]

 

What filled the Community were Players from Floors 1 and 2.

Those who had given up on climbing the Tower.

People like Olivia Turner and Kim Tae-yeon tried to calm people down somehow, but there was no way they would listen.

The world faced sudden chaos. Those who had given up on the Tower and were living ordinary lives were shocked and hurriedly began climbing the Tower.

“What the hell…!”

And Baekdusan was no different. He looked at his secretary in shock.

“You! You’re climbing the Tower!”

“Yes, yes. I’m climbing it!”

“What floor are you on now!”

“Floor 3.”

“Floor 3….”

Baekdusan gritted his teeth. His secretary hadn’t obtained the Challenge Right that long ago. Looking at the System’s explanation, there would be reasonable judgment and coordination, so they would probably take such cases into account.

But even considering that, it was far too low. Baekdusan said urgently.

“There are two weeks left. Don’t rest even a single day and climb the Tower! During the 3-day grace period, I’ll train you as much as possible!”

“Y-yes, understood!”

The secretary nodded with a pale face. Baekdusan slumped into his chair.

“…How’s the situation?”

“O-our guild is relatively okay. It was only those who climbed the Tower from the beginning. But the Green Guild is….”

“Turned upside down, I bet. What the hell is suddenly happening.”

Baekdusan could instinctively tell. From now on, the common sense they knew would be shattered to pieces.

And at the same time, one memory came to mind.

 

-If you truly care about your secretary, it would be good to have her climb the Tower even now.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s last words to him.

‘…Was he anticipating that something like this would happen.’

What kind of person is he? Baekdusan got goosebumps once again.

 

 

And as if the outside commotion didn’t matter, Kang Jun-hyeok was calmly standing on Floor 7.

He was standing in front of a bridge.

 

[Floor 7 Quest.]

[According to Yulsir’s Laws, respond to those who cross the bridge.]

[The Quest will begin when you approach the bridge.]

 

Floor 7’s Quest.

Respond to those who cross the bridge with Yulsir’s Laws.

Manbyeonggi muttered.

[Yulsir, huh. It’s been a while.]

“Seems like you know this being.”

[Of course I do. We’re acquainted. That’s the god of laws. Yulsir.]

Yulsir was a being called a god.

[You probably know about gods.]

“I know as much as others do. It’s just that there weren’t any on our planet.”

[A planet untouched by the gaze of gods? That’s rare. Then it would be convenient to explain appropriately. Gods are transcendent beings that arose from the birth of the universe.]

From the void of nothingness, a great explosion gave birth to the universe.

In the process of the universe’s birth, various concepts came into being.

Cosmic beings formed when those concepts were embodied and took shape. Those were the gods.

[Each governs their own concept, protecting believers who believe in and follow them, bestowing power upon them. Originally, they were close to being masters of the universe. Well, now they’re nothing but losers.]

Even such mighty gods ultimately lost in the Great War. Yulsir was also one of the gods.

[But for the first god you meet to be Yulsir. Hmm.]

“What’s wrong?”

[Nothing. It’s just that guy isn’t exactly an ordinary god. Gods are beings obsessed with their own concepts, but… that guy is a bit excessive.]

Manbyeonggi spoke with distaste. The reason became clear immediately.

Boom!

With a loud noise, a book fell at Kang Jun-hyeok’s feet. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh.

“Damn, it’s huge.”

The book wasn’t a normal size.

About three times the thickness of a law book. Even the format was twice that size. The book’s title was written in a strange language, but he could read it without problem.

 

[This is the Law Book of Yulsir, the god of laws.]

 

When he opened the book, letters the size of ants were packed densely without a single gap. Reading through the contents one by one, it was roughly like this:

 

Law 1. Law of Footsteps.

Believers of Yulsir must walk exactly 10,000 steps per day, not a single step less or more. If one lies down or sits, all previous walking becomes invalid.

Law 2. Law of Silence.

Every day from midnight, one must not make any sound for 5 minutes.

Law 3. Law of Weapons.

When maintaining weapons, one must wipe them with the left hand only, and if the right hand touches them, the use of that weapon is forbidden for one day. However, for those with only one hand, the Law of Weapons is nullified.

Law 4. Law of Reflection.

When looking at your reflection in a mirror, you must nod your head twice.

Law 5. Law of Shadows.

Under the sun, you must not cover two or more shadows of others with your own shadow.

 

“Well, I’ll be.”

Kang Jun-hyeok let out a bitter laugh. Manbyeonggi spoke in a disgruntled tone.

[Laws as a god naturally exist, but this guy’s are way too excessive.]

Believers who served a god had to follow the laws that god created. Those who failed to do so lost their qualification as believers. That was perfectly natural.

But the God of Laws had laws that were far too excessive.

Laws existed for every situation, and there were hundreds of thousands of them. It was impossible to remember and follow them all.

[That’s why he’s one of the least popular gods. The number of his believers can be counted on one hand.]

Kang Jun-hyeok looked up at the sky.

He could feel a gaze from there. There was no need to think about who that gaze belonged to. It must be Yulsir.

“So you’re watching to see if I follow the laws.”

[He’s probably thinking of finding someone in the Tower worthy of becoming his believer. That’s why he came here. Though it doesn’t seem like he’ll have much success.]

There was no way Players who entered the Tower could read all these laws.

It would take months just to read them. If you tried to memorize the contents, it would take dozens of times longer. No one would sit still and read law books for that long.

The condition for Perfect Clear on the 7th Floor was to perfectly follow the contents of the laws. It was a nearly impossible condition.

[But you would be different.]

Kang Jun-hyeok would somehow find a way to Perfect Clear.

There was anticipation in Manbyeonggi’s voice.

The light in Yulsir’s gaze looking down also contained faint expectation.

Information about Kang Jun-hyeok had spread to The Defeated Ones. Yulsir must also be aware of him. A glimmer of hope was visible.

To clear, he first needed to read the Law Book. After all, you couldn’t follow laws you didn’t know. Manbyeonggi thought Kang Jun-hyeok would sit down and start reading the Law Book.

But Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t look at the Law Book.

He moved his steps and walked toward the bridge.

[Hmm? You’re not reading it?]

“There’s no need to read it.”

 

[7th Floor Quest begins.]

 

When he reached the bridge, the Quest began. The emotion in the gaze wavered for a moment, then turned to disappointment. Judging that Kang Jun-hyeok had given up on following the laws, the gaze withdrew.

Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t mind and guarded the bridge.

Before long, a person appeared.

It was a Merchant wearing red clothes, sweating profusely while carrying a backpack. When he saw Kang Jun-hyeok, his eyes widened.

“Wh-who are you?”

Instead of answering, Kang Jun-hyeok looked at the Merchant.

He was wearing red clothes. He looked like a merchant but had no pack animals or servants. His age was roughly estimated to be in his forties.

In that case.

Kang Jun-hyeok lowered his left hand and raised his right hand. He pulled his right foot back. He lowered his waist and slightly bowed his head. In a very strange posture, he greeted the Merchant.

“Nice to meet you. Merchant who walks the road alone.”

 

 

At that moment, the gaze from the sky wavered. As if doubting its own eyes. The Merchant’s eyes widened.

“Ni-nice to meet you. Who might you be…?”

“I am the bridge keeper of laws, assigned to guard this bridge by Lord Yulsir’s command.”

“Ah, ah… Lord Yulsir, you say.”

At those words, the Merchant hesitated. He had a very ambiguous expression as if he knew something about Yulsir.

“Is there some problem?”

“May I ask you a few questions?”

“Uh… yes.”

Kang Jun-hyeok calmly questioned the Merchant.

“First. What is your age?”

“Second. What cargo are you carrying?”

“Third. What is your purpose?”

The Merchant obediently answered all three questions.

“My age is forty-four.”

“The cargo I’m carrying is bowls and pottery and such.”

“I’m going to the city to sell my goods.”

After hearing the story, Kang Jun-hyeok nodded as if he understood.

“Confirmed. Then, according to Lord Yulsir’s laws, I shall take one strand of your beard.”

“Uh, uh, yes. That’s certainly peculiar…”

The Merchant reluctantly plucked a strand of his beard and handed it to Kang Jun-hyeok.

After the Merchant left, Manbyeonggi quietly asked.

[…What did you just do? And Yulsir. Why is that guy sending such a gaze.]

The gaze felt from the sky had become incredibly intense. Kang Jun-hyeok said calmly.

“I responded according to the laws, didn’t I?”

[Laws? You mean that behavior just now?]

“Yes.”

Law 234. Law of Colors.

When you meet someone wearing red clothes, lower your left hand and raise your right hand to greet them.

Law 566. Law of Merchants.

When you meet a merchant traveling alone without porters or pack animals, pull your right foot back to greet them.

Law 13. Law of Age.

When you meet someone who appears to be in their forties, lower your waist and slightly bow your head.

Following those three laws, Kang Jun-hyeok had greeted the Merchant in that very strange posture. Manbyeonggi let out a groan.

[Wait. Then the questions you asked after that were.]

“Those were also laws.”

If a merchant is selling daily necessities, do not take payment.

If a merchant’s destination is toward a city, take a part of their body.

These were Laws 563 and 1124 respectively. Kang Jun-hyeok had followed five laws in responding to the Merchant. Manbyeonggi swallowed hard.

[You. Did you already know Yulsir’s laws?]

Kang Jun-hyeok seemed to know the contents of the hundreds of thousands of laws.

Kang Jun-hyeok said quietly.

“I had a troublesome connection.”

Yulsir’s laws were excessively demanding and vast.

That’s why the number of his believers could be counted on one hand.

And in his previous life, Kang Jun-hyeok had formed a connection with one of those believers who could be counted on one hand.

It was a sickeningly long connection. So long it was hard to measure the time. Every time they met, that person persistently preached Yulsir’s laws to him, and as a result, he came to remember all the contents of the laws.

“Life really is unpredictable.”

Every time they preached the laws, he had beaten them up and told them to shut up, but now it was coming back like this.

‘Next time I meet them, I should listen a bit more kindly.’

[Good heavens.]

Manbyeonggi couldn’t contain his amazement. Yulsir’s gaze from the sky began to intensify enough to pierce through the heavens.
