All Master of 100 Floors Episode 063

 

Floor 10. Vampire Princess (6)

 

[Title: Ah.]

 

[I wondered why Floor 10 ended so abruptly, but now I see how it progresses. This is a first.]

 

* * *

 

“You handle quite a fascinating power. What magic did Father teach you?”

 

“I don’t know the details myself. I simply learn and memorize what he taught me, then use it as is.”

 

“Father’s insight into magic was profound. Still, you handle it quite well. You seem to have excellent talent.”

 

“Did Father teach you cooking as well?”

 

“He would never do something as trivial as cooking. Though he did prepare meals for me a few times when I was young… the taste wasn’t very good. After that, I prepared everything myself.”

 

“That must have been a disaster. Then…”

 

[She talks a lot.]

 

Manbyeonggi muttered.

 

After opening her heart to Kang Jun-hyeok, Eldyria asked questions non-stop. He struggled to come up with answers to her content.

 

But this was the Eldyria he knew.

 

She was essentially a chatterbox.

 

It just hadn’t shown because she was in a desperate situation of losing everything and fleeing, unable to trust him and staying on guard.

 

“You said you’ve lived for my sake. But isn’t that too sad a life? Live your own life. Though of course, you mustn’t abandon me.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok paused at those words.

 

In his previous life, he had heard similar words from her.

 

-Kang Jun-hyeok. You’re too obsessed with others’ well-being. You’re not enjoying what you should enjoy because of them. Is that truly your life?

 

“…I’ll keep that in mind.”

 

He never expected to hear similar words from her past self. He nodded with a strange feeling. Seeing Kang Jun-hyeok listening to her advice, Eldyria showed a satisfied expression and spoke again.

 

As if she intended to pour out everything that had accumulated, her stories didn’t stop. Kang Jun-hyeok answered each one and prepared a meal. After she cleanly finished eating, she stared at Kang Jun-hyeok intently.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok extended his arm as if understanding. Eldyria quietly reached out and grasped his arm. Then she carefully bit it with her fangs.

 

Another change.

 

After meals, Eldyria would request Kang Jun-hyeok’s blood. Since it wasn’t particularly difficult, he readily offered his arm.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok looked down at her biting his arm with his eyes closed.

 

Silver hair. Transparent skin and god-given statue-like beauty.

 

‘In my previous life, there were countless people who brought treasures just to have their blood sucked by her once.’

 

Of course, he wasn’t one of them. She pulled away and licked the blood from her lips.

 

“Still such a mysterious body. Not a single wound appears.”

 

“Stamina is consumed and injuries accumulate. They just don’t show.”

 

“Father’s magic is truly mysterious. It must have been difficult to train. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just become a vampire?”

 

“As I mentioned earlier, it was up to the Princess’s will. And aside from that, I don’t want to become a vampire. It’s too troublesome.”

 

That was his sincere feeling as Player Kang Jun-hyeok, not as the Princess’s guard.

 

Vampires had many weaknesses. They took continuous damage when exposed to sunlight, couldn’t eat garlic. They had an instinctive aversion to crosses and couldn’t cross flowing water.

 

That’s why even in his previous life, he had several opportunities to become a vampire, but he refused them all.

 

“I like myself as a human.”

 

“…Is that so.”

 

If Eldyria could turn him into a vampire, it would be good to lay the groundwork in advance.

 

“Though the Princess, being a True Ancestor, wouldn’t have such weaknesses.”

 

Pure and solitary vampires. Direct descendants of the progenitor.

 

Unlike ordinary vampires, they had no weaknesses at all. They were beings close to perfection.

 

Eldyria, who had briefly closed her mouth, spoke.

 

“I have never seen the magic you’re using now.”

 

Of course she hadn’t. It was all made up by him.

 

Eldyria, who didn’t know him, thought her father had created magic solely for Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

“Father must have cherished you. He would have seriously listened to a human’s opinion. Perhaps… he might have tried to make you a True Ancestor.”

 

“What?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had been walking ahead, stopped.

 

“Is it possible to create a True Ancestor?”

 

“Ordinary True Ancestors are born between True Ancestors. But an adult True Ancestor can, just once, make another into a True Ancestor. However, that is a desecration of our purity. Even speaking of it is forbidden.”

 

“…I see.”

 

Even Kang Jun-hyeok from his previous life didn’t know this.

 

The countless vampires he had met, including Eldyria, had never spoken of it. It must be their secret that couldn’t be told even if the universe perished.

 

But to suddenly speak of such a thing. Eldyria muttered as if lamenting.

 

“Now that I’m the only True Ancestor left, it’s a meaningless desecration.”

 

Only then did he realize why Eldyria had suddenly said such a thing.

 

She currently thought she was the only vampire left. So she believed the secret had no meaning anymore.

 

In reality, it wasn’t true. The universe was incredibly vast. Vampires existed in various places. Among them were several True Ancestors who carried the progenitor’s blood.

 

‘I’ve learned a new fact.’

 

Since it was a past timeline anyway, it had no effect on reality. Kang Jun-hyeok thought all he had gained was knowledge of one secret.

 

But Eldyria was staring at Kang Jun-hyeok with a very strange expression.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“No. It’s nothing.”

 

Eldyria shook her head.

 

They continued moving forward.

 

They passed through the forest, crossed the river, and traversed the desert.

 

And at the end.

 

They arrived at a vast forest.

 

* * *

 

“…It’s red.”

 

Extremely red.

 

Leaves like blood scattered in the wind. Red leaves were falling throughout the vast forest.

 

This place was exactly their destination.

 

“In the center of this forest, the Coming-of-Age Altar exists.”

 

“That would be correct.”

 

“Good. Let’s go. I’m counting on you until the very end.”

 

“As the Princess wishes.”

 

Eldyria extended her hand to Kang Jun-hyeok. He took it and kissed the back of her hand.

 

And at that very moment, the world distorted.

 

[Floor 10 Progress Quest Clear.]

 

[Checking achievement rate…]

 

[Check complete.]

 

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

 

[Perfect Clear. Congratulations! Additional rewards will be granted.]

 

[Players who Perfect Cleared Floor 10: 1 person.]

 

[You are alone!]

 

[Universe Announcement.]

 

[Please congratulate them! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player for Floor 10 has appeared. This is a feat no one has ever achieved!]

 

[Achievement + 3]

 

The Quest clear timing was far too sudden.

 

Moreover, no rewards were visible. Though it was a strange situation, Kang Jun-hyeok looked as if he had expected this. Soon, a System Window appeared.

 

[Will continue to Floor 11 Progress Quest. Clear rewards will be granted after all Progress Quests are completed.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok returned to Earth.

 

Floor 10 was not a floor that ended independently.

 

It was a floor connected to the very next floor, Floor 11.

 

“They should finish it in one floor. How annoying.”

 

[Her story is too grand to fit in just one floor. The Master of the Universe is perfect, but the Tower’s Administrator isn’t, which is the problem. It’s simply a capacity issue.]

 

Such continuing floors appeared frequently later on as well. You could think of it as taking a break in the middle. Kang Jun-hyeok sat on the edge of his bed.

 

“Phew.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok exhaled.

 

Though he didn’t show it, throughout his entire Floor 10 playthrough, he had never once let his guard down.

 

While keeping Eldyria pleased, he had to guide her so she wouldn’t run away. He had to understand everything about her and persuade her.

 

All while perfectly grasping the path to their destination and throwing everything into a final gamble for her ultimate trust.

 

If he had slipped up even slightly, that would have been the end. He had only been acting calm, and this was reflected in his proficiency.

 

[Passive Skill: Acting]

 

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

 

[Proficiency: C]

 

[The act of deceiving one’s own emotions and wearing a mask. Not only can you deceive your own emotions to near perfection, but you can even fake your actions. You can create a completely different version of yourself and even fabricate situations and memories to match.]

 

[Passive Skill: Persuasion]

 

[Grade: Lowest Grade]

 

[Proficiency: D]

 

[Words and actions that make others accept your opinions. Beings of the Tower become quite conscious of your words and actions. They will listen to whatever you say.]

 

His Acting Skill proficiency had reached C, and Persuasion had reached D. It meant he had done that much work. Manbyeonggi also muttered as if amazed.

 

[You walked the tightrope well. To think that Eldyria would eventually come to trust you. You have an exceptional ability for deceiving others.]

 

“It wasn’t easy.”

 

[So that’s how she was in the past. Her personality itself isn’t much different from my memories. Then I wonder what will happen next.]

 

Manbyeonggi muttered with an expectant tone.

 

Floor 10’s main focus was persuading Eldyria and making her trust him during the journey to the destination. It concentrated on elements other than combat.

 

And if what he remembered was correct, Floor 11 was the opposite.

 

‘I need to prepare thoroughly before going.’

 

* * *

 

Three days later.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok entered the Tower again.

 

[11th Floor Quest begins.]

 

[Prove yourself.]

 

“Now. Let’s go.”

 

Eldyria greeted him in the same state as just before leaving Floor 10.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok quickly gathered his wits and stepped forward.

 

“Please follow me.”

 

“Yes. The forest is quite vast. It will take quite some time just to find the altar.”

 

Eldyria’s voice was very leisurely. This place was the Vampire’s Secret Forest, existing in a remote area where no one else would come. There was no reason to feel any particular threat.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok knew. What he had to do on Floor 11. He who had been moving forward hesitated.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Please wait a moment.”

 

Eldyria’s puzzled expression gradually hardened.

 

A sound was heard. It wasn’t the wind or animal sounds. Something was rapidly rushing toward them.

 

Eldyria’s pupils dilated.

 

“…How! How did they get here!”

 

“Finally, you’ve come!”

 

“We’ve been waiting!”

 

Rough shouts echoed. Werewolves covered in fur from head to toe burst into Howling. Responding cries erupted all at once.

 

Howling that shook the entire Forest.

 

It wasn’t just one or two.

 

At least dozens. Perhaps over a hundred.

 

Werewolves charged at them, racing across the Forest.

 

“Kill the Princess!”

 

“Exterminate the Vampires!”

 

[11th Floor Progress Quest]

 

[Protect Vampire Princess Eldyria from the assault and safely escort her to the Altar.]
