All Master of 100 Floors Episode 004

 

 

Floor 0 (2)

 

 

“MVP.”

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered while looking at the quest completion window.

Such a thing hadn’t appeared in his previous life.

It had just ended with a message saying it was over, and the mantises had disappeared.

He was now seeing something he hadn’t seen in his previous life. He smiled with satisfaction.

The mantises had fallen.

The quest completion window had also appeared.

This was the end of Floor 0’s quest.

People who realized this fact stared blankly at Kang Jun-hyeok.

Monsters like mantises.

They were enemies that couldn’t be resisted. No one could even think of confronting them. They thought that running away was the only solution, turning their backs and pushing and trampling over each other.

To them, the mantises were close to being absolute beings.

But Kang Jun-hyeok had killed all the mantises they thought were absolute beings.

They still couldn’t properly understand the situation, but there was one thing that was certain.

The man standing before them was a different kind of existence from themselves.

“Uh, um…”

People hesitantly approached Kang Jun-hyeok. Among them, one with courage carefully asked.

“Excuse me, that…”

The moment he was about to ask something.

Craaack.

Space split open. People stepped back in horror. They were already frightened, thinking another monster like the mantises might appear.

But what appeared wasn’t a monster, but a girl.

“Ah…”

For a moment, people let out gasps of admiration, forgetting even the situation.

The girl who appeared was extremely beautiful. Her distinct features were perfect without a single flaw. Her long black hair dragged on the ground, but not a speck of dust clung to it.

While everyone was mesmerized by the girl’s beauty, only Kang Jun-hyeok thought calmly.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen her.’

The girl who managed Earth and coordinated events.

They called this girl the Administrator.

The Administrator who appeared looked extremely bored. Her face suggested she had repeated the same task tens of thousands of times and thought this time wouldn’t be any different.

But the Administrator’s expression changed as she stepped forward and looked around.

“Huh?”

The Administrator tilted her head.

“Why are so many alive?”

That was the Administrator’s first words.

 

 

The girl was an Administrator.

She was in a position to manage the players climbing the Tower.

When Floor 0’s quest ended, she was in a position to guide and explain to the survivors, and naturally knew about all the progress that had taken place so far.

That’s why she couldn’t help but be flustered.

“Eighty out of a hundred are alive?”

The survival rate of Floor 0 quests she had conducted so far was 50%. At most, it never exceeded 60%. Having 80% survive was an unusually high number. The Administrator, who had been looking around in puzzlement, discovered the mantises’ corpses and her eyes widened.

“What? You killed them? This is a first.”

The bewildered Administrator looked at Kang Jun-hyeok standing in front of the corpses.

“Did you do this?”

“Yes.”

Kang Jun-hyeok answered calmly. Even more confusion swirled on the Administrator’s face.

“…Wait a minute. It doesn’t seem like anyone else interfered. You killed them by yourself?”

“That’s correct.”

“…Really?”

The Administrator was truly surprised.

But it wasn’t because she was amazed that the mantises were killed.

If you thought about it coolly, you could understand that mantises weren’t unkillable beings.

Actually, while no one on the Earth she managed had ever killed mantises, she knew that in ‘other places’ they had succeeded in killing mantises several times. If that was all, there wouldn’t be reason to be this surprised.

What she was surprised about was that he had killed three by himself.

Because Floor 0 wasn’t designed that way.

Floor 0 was designed for a hundred people to join forces, or for each to handle one mantis individually. It wasn’t made for one person to handle three alone.

‘No. More than that, is it even possible for one person to catch three?’

The mantises’ specs that the Administrator knew were at 3rd Floor level. It wasn’t a level that someone on Floor 0, without any special equipment, could handle.

For a moment she suspected he might be lying, but she was an Administrator. If he were lying, she would notice immediately. Kang Jun-hyeok had only spoken the truth.

“What are you?”

The Administrator looked at Kang Jun-hyeok with a face that truly didn’t understand. Instead of answering, Kang Jun-hyeok changed the subject.

“It seems you came here with a purpose, is it alright for you to pay this much attention to just me?”

“Ah, ah. Um. Right.”

The Administrator belatedly remembered what she was supposed to do. Scratching her head awkwardly, she gracefully greeted them.

“Hello. I’m a being assigned the role of managing your planet. Just call me Administrator for convenience. If you survive from now on, you’ll probably meet me often.”

The Administrator clapped her hands.

“Now then! All surviving humans! Congratulations! You’ve now earned the right to challenge the Tower. You can proudly call yourselves players!”

Along with those words, the system appeared.

 

[Congratulations! You have successfully survived Floor 0’s quest.]

[The right to challenge the Tower has been unlocked. From now on, you can climb the Tower.]

[The Tower’s laws now apply to you.]

[You can now use various functions through the system.]

[Status window has been unlocked.]

[Skill window has been unlocked.]

[Title window has been unlocked.]

[Community function has been unlocked.]

[Various other functions have been unlocked.]

 

“Please climb the Tower and meet our master’s expectations! Most of you will die before that, but for now, fighting!”

The Administrator waved her hand with a bright smile.

“Then this is farewell! Take care!”

“Uh, uh. Wait a moment!”

People were startled as the Administrator tried to leave.

“Pl-please give us some explanation! What should we do from now on?”

“That’s bothersome. You’re on the late side anyway, right? Just ask people around you.”

“St-still, please give us some advice at least!”

People desperately clung to the Administrator. From now on, they would have to climb the hellish Tower. It was an extremely desperate situation.

But the girl before them had called herself Earth’s Administrator. That meant she knew many things.

“Please!”

“Tell us the information!”

They clamored and pleaded desperately with the Administrator. Kang Jun-hyeok showed a surprised expression.

‘They didn’t act like this in my previous life.’

Back then, they had just nodded blankly at the Administrator’s words. They hadn’t clung to her like this.

And the reason for all this difference was because of Kang Jun-hyeok.

He had killed the mantises before the majority of people died. Quite a few people had died, but it wasn’t as despairing as in his previous life.

Most importantly, in his previous life, the Administrator had left after giving her explanation with a bored expression. There hadn’t been any opportunity for them to engage her in conversation.

But this time, the Administrator was flustered by this unprecedented situation and had various conversations with Kang Jun-hyeok.

Her very human-like behavior had greatly diminished the Administrator’s mystique. She had come to feel like an ordinarily beautiful girl.

That was precisely why people were clinging to the Administrator differently than in his previous life.

However, they were making one mistake.

The Administrator wasn’t particularly kind. The Administrator picked at her ear as if annoyed.

“Why should I?”

The space that had been noisy like a marketplace instantly became quiet. People’s faces turned pale.

“Uh, ah.”

“Guh, guhk.”

A simple manifestation of emotion.

That alone made people’s breath catch. An overwhelming presence they couldn’t handle swept over them. The smell of urine began to waft from various places. People instinctively realized.

The beautiful girl before their eyes was an existence incomparable to the mantises they had encountered.

Kang Jun-hyeok had an expression that said he knew this would happen.

‘Administrators have nasty tempers, after all.’

That thing was closer to a manufactured doll than a living being. She was that capricious and only regarded them as toys. She wasn’t kind enough to comfort those who clung to her noisily.

Even in his previous life, he had suffered considerably from the Administrator’s whims and irritation.

While everyone had collapsed in panic, only Kang Jun-hyeok stood there perfectly fine. Seeing this, the Administrator showed an even more surprised expression.

“Even though I pressed down lightly, you’re way too fine. What are you really? A murderer who’s killed hundreds? No, that’s not it. Even guys like that just pissed themselves in front of me.”

“We’re going to keep meeting anyway. Let’s get to know each other gradually.”

Kang Jun-hyeok spoke calmly. The Administrator grinned.

“Right. That’s true. I thought this was a dud planet… but I’ve met an interesting guy.”

With those words, the Administrator instantly closed the distance. Having approached close enough for their breaths to touch, the Administrator tilted her head.

“What’s with you?”

“What do you mean?”

“…It feels like you have a familiar scent. No. Am I mistaken?”

The Administrator shook her head and stepped back. The world crackled with static noise. Floor 0 was closing and they were returning to Earth. Until the very end, the Administrator was looking at Kang Jun-hyeok.

“Kang Jun-hyeok. I’ll have expectations for you. I’ll be watching.”

With a low voice, Kang Jun-hyeok returned to his studio apartment.

“It’s over.”

The tension throughout his body was released. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a short breath and sat down on the bed.

 

 

Naturally enough, Kang Jun-hyeok had been concentrating considerably.

All of his previous life’s tremendous power had disappeared. Right now, he was nothing more than an ordinary human you could find anywhere. He could lose his life with just a small mistake.

The mantises were formidable enemies that his current self couldn’t handle. Not even the slightest mistake was allowed. His head throbbed from over-concentration.

“Phew.”

After drinking cold water and resting a bit, his brain slowly cooled down.

It had been extremely difficult and dangerous.

But the results were definite.

He had obtained things he couldn’t get in his previous life.

Not just simple power, but also in terms of relationships.

‘The Administrator’s last words.’

The emotion contained in them was interest and curiosity.

The Administrator held goodwill toward his existence.

That was a very good thing. While she regarded life as toys, she cherished and favored the toys she liked very much.

As such, she gave treatment so good it defied fairness to those she favored.

Considering the events that would occur in the future, gaining the Administrator’s favor was invaluable.

And there was one more thing he had confirmed.

‘She seemed unaware about me.’

The Administrator’s authority was immense.

Having received the role of planetary management from the Universe’s new master, she could shake everything with a single word.

To what extent? Her single whim could create massive events.

But even she hadn’t noticed that Kang Jun-hyeok had returned to the past. She had mentioned something about a scent, but it didn’t seem like she had accurately perceived it.

‘…Just where did they get something like this?’

At least Floor 90 or higher.

And among floors 90 and above, the floor where such an item could be obtained was.

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes darkened. But that was truly momentary. He shook his head as if trying to shake off the thought.

Floor 90 was truly a distant matter. There was no point thinking about it now.

‘Right now, more than that.’

It was time to check what he had accomplished and what he had obtained. Finally, as if the settlement was complete, a system window appeared before his eyes.

‘How much will I get?’

Kang Jun-hyeok raised his head pleasantly.

Floor 0. The reward for the Tutorial Quest was only system unlock and Tower challenge rights.

They had thought so.

But what about this?

The reward now appearing before his eyes was telling him that was nothing but their misconception.
