All Master of 100 Floors Episode 068

 

Pixie’s Treasure Chest (1)

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes lit up.

 

Finally, he could see Pixie’s true form that he hadn’t been able to see even in his previous life. Pixie spoke proudly.

 

She no longer had the powerless appearance from before, nor did she trail off her words. Her attitude was dignified and radiant.

 

[I am of the Fairy Tribe. I cannot speak about my past, but I once boasted considerable power and fame.]

 

“I’m sure you did.”

 

She was probably like Manbyeonggi. A Transcendent. A being equal to or greater than gods. She must have been close to that level.

 

[As you know, we fought a great war over ownership of the Universe. And in the end, we were defeated.]

 

The Great War of the Universe.

 

The end of that war was the defeat of those who had owned the existing Universe.

 

A new Master of the Universe was born.

 

[There were some who weren’t broken… but I was broken. I laid down everything. Just like that guy over there.]

 

Pixie gestured toward Manbyeonggi with her chin. Manbyeonggi answered with silence.

 

[I made a contract with the Master of the Universe and was given the role of Shop Owner. I thought I would live meaninglessly like that until I disappeared.]

 

She was an ember that had almost died out.

 

She was firewood that had turned to ash.

 

But now, that ember was quietly beginning to ignite.

 

[The instinct of being a servant seems to be quite powerful. Don’t you think?]

 

Pixie muttered and raised her hand.

 

[You awakened my ember. Then now I should give you a reward befitting that.]

 

Pixie moves her hand. A dizzying magic circle is drawn and space begins to distort.

 

[I am a fairy. I want to know all things in the world and explore secrets. And I want to collect all kinds of precious things.]

 

Pixie grinned.

 

[So the reward I’ll give you is simple. What I built up when I was myself. The things I collected and stored. Open! Countless Treasure Vault!]

 

With applause, the magic circle unfolds and space expands. An infinitely deep and vast second dimension spreads before Pixie.

 

What exists within it are countless treasures.

 

Things that shone brilliantly, whose value could not be measured.

 

[This is my treasure vault. All kinds of riches I collected by investing my entire lifetime. Come! Take a look!]

 

* * *

 

Kang Jun-hyeok lets out a small groan.

 

The treasure vault was incredibly vast.

 

The size of the space itself was about the size of a wardrobe, so it could be seen without problem even in his room, but the interior was different.

 

‘What is this.’

 

It was the size of a wardrobe, but the interior was endlessly expanded and expanded. So much so that he couldn’t see the end of it.

 

And in such a space, countless treasures existed.

 

The first thing that caught his eye were the gems.

 

They were gems he recognized—sapphires, diamonds, and rubies.

 

But their size and purity were different. There was even a diamond as large as his fist. Among them, he spotted a strange gem that displayed various colors.

 

Seeing it, Manbyeonggi muttered.

 

[A Multicolored Hexahedron. So he really did obtain that. I heard that whoever possessed it wouldn’t sell it even if they sold an entire planet.]

 

[It took some effort to acquire.]

 

Pixie boasted. Kang Jun-hyeok let out a quiet laugh.

 

Next, he saw countless artifacts.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok picked up one of the grimoires. It seemed to be the least valuable among the scattered artifacts.

 

[Alfredo Haipan’s Red Grimoire]

 

[Type: Weapon]

 

[Grade: Superior]

 

[Magic Power + 50]

 

[Equipment Ability: Enables the use of Alfredo School magic.]

 

[Equipment Ability: Can activate the Alfredo School’s secret technique [Red Shift]. Cooldown: 5 minutes.]

 

[The red grimoire personally wielded by Alfredo Haipan. It contains the school’s magic that disappeared after his death.]

 

[3,000 Starlight]

 

“….”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was speechless.

 

The Alfredo School.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok knew what kind of school it was.

 

It was one of the schools from a Magic Tower somewhere on a distant planet. He had met mages from the Alfredo School several times in his previous life. It was a powerful school that specialized in flame magic and had made its name known throughout the entire universe.

 

And Alfredo Haipan was the great mage who founded that school.

 

The mages belonging to the school called the magic and staff he had wielded lost artifacts, and they searched for them with burning eyes.

 

Yet Pixie possessed that grimoire. Pixie spoke proudly.

 

[I obtained it by asking Haipan directly. He refused until the end, saying it should be left to his school, but who am I? I paid him with something of equivalent value.]

 

“The school’s mages would weep.”

 

[That’s not my concern, is it?]

 

Pixie answered lightly. Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

 

‘The value is too high.’

 

It was absurd.

 

Just by possessing the grimoire, one could use the school’s magic and even activate secret techniques.

 

The grimoire was comparable to a Perfect Clear reward. And it was the kind you could only obtain by reaching at least the 20th Floor or higher, not the lower floors.

 

Even such a grimoire appeared to be the least valuable item here.

 

And this place didn’t only contain artifacts. There were also various materials present.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok examined one of them—a gem radiating blazing heat.

 

[Flame Gem Containing Primordial Breath]

 

[Grade: Supreme]

 

[The primordial breath that existed since the birth of the Universe was compressed with tremendous force to form the shape of a gem.]

 

[6,000 Starlight]

 

“Hah.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t hold back and let out a hollow laugh.

 

This was a Material Item.

 

While there was no use for it right now, it was an item whose value would increase exponentially if he climbed the Tower just a little higher.

 

The Shop Owner wasn’t the only one who existed in the Tower.

 

Blacksmiths.

 

And enchanters.

 

There were many other NPCs as well.

 

And the Flame Gem was among the top materials compared to all the materials he had obtained in his previous life. Manbyeonggi muttered.

 

[Flame Gem. So you had it.]

 

[I went all the way to where the Universe first began and worked hard to preserve it. I really thought I was going to die, you know?]

 

What was surprising was that there appeared to be several materials in the Treasure Vault that seemed to be on the level of the Flame Gem. That wasn’t all. Pixie snapped her fingers.

 

[This isn’t all. I’m from the Fairy Tribe. I can even give you some of those abilities.]

 

A series of options appeared before Kang Jun-hyeok. Reading through them one by one, Kang Jun-hyeok muttered as if in disbelief.

 

“Is this really okay?”

 

[Active Skill: Pixie’s Wings]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 60 minutes]

 

[Gain Pixie’s wings for 1 minute and fly around freely.]

 

[1,000 Starlight]

 

[Active Skill: Pixie’s Treasure Intuition]

 

[Grade: Low Grade]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 60 minutes]

 

[If there are valuable treasures within a certain range, you can know their location.]

 

[500 Starlight]

 

“It’s not random?”

 

All Skills available in the Shop were provided through random boxes.

 

You could get a dud, or you could get a jackpot. That’s why he didn’t buy Lowest Grade Skills.

 

But now Skills were being displayed directly, not in random boxes. Pixie spoke as if it was obvious.

 

[This isn’t a Shop provided by the System. It’s a Shop that I, as an individual, am opening for you. So there’s no need to be bound by such restrictions.]

 

“…”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok could understand.

 

This was something that could never be obtained from a regular shop. It was a benefit that could only be gained by clearing Pixie’s Quest and earning her sincere trust.

 

No joke, if he had obtained this in his previous life, the results might have been different. It was regrettable to that extent.

 

And at the same time, he was excited. It meant this vast treasure vault would be provided to him.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok tried to calm his racing heart and asked something important.

 

“How can I obtain these things?”

 

No matter how brilliantly the treasures shone, if he couldn’t get his hands on them, they would just be pie in the sky.

 

Equipment, materials, skills, and so on. Under the things that could be obtained from Pixie’s treasure vault, there was one type of currency attached.

 

Starlight.

 

It wasn’t gold. Pixie smiled faintly.

 

[I don’t need gold. I only receive it as a shop owner because I was given that role, just to incinerate it. I have no intention of requiring it for my personal treasure vault. That’s better for you too, isn’t it?]

 

“That’s true.”

 

He already had many uses for gold, so if Pixie’s treasure vault also consumed it, his back would literally break, no joke.

 

[And above all. Right now, I’m empty inside. I’m in the same state as that guy.]

 

Pixie pointed at Manbyeonggi.

 

[I have the treasure vault, but… since my very existence is empty inside, I can’t use it. I need something to open it.]

 

“That’s starlight?”

 

[That’s right. The method to obtain it is simple. Climb the Tower. Conquer floors, analyze them, and create new scenes I didn’t expect and show them to me.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok immediately understood what Pixie meant.

 

“You’re telling me to Perfect Clear.”

 

[You understood right away. That’s correct. The more you satisfy my curiosity, the more you amaze me, the more starlight you’ll be able to obtain. My existence will be filled, and then you’ll be able to obtain my treasures.]

 

“No problem.”

 

Perfect Clear of every floor was his goal from the beginning anyway. To think he could gain additional rewards just by clearing toward his original goal. Where could there be greater joy than this? Kang Jun-hyeok smiled with genuine pleasure.

 

‘The process of climbing the Tower will become even more enjoyable.’

 

[Then that’s all for the explanation. Is there anything else you’re curious about or need?]

 

“No. Nothing. Thank you.”

 

[I’m the one who’s grateful. I had no choice but to accept the position of shop owner, but I was sick and tired of it. I was even considering just throwing it all away… Thanks to you, I’ve gained at least some motivation in life.]

 

Pixie waved her hand and left her final words.

 

[I’ll look forward to what’s ahead. Kang Jun-hyeok. Please satisfy me like you did this time. Perhaps if it’s you… you might help me find my true self someday.]

 

Pixie departed. Kang Jun-hyeok muttered.

 

“That’s what will happen.”

 

No. That’s what he would make happen. He had returned to the past for that purpose. Kang Jun-hyeok clenched his fist.

 

Time passed.

 

The world was still chaotic. People ran wild and denied reality.

 

But even in such circumstances, there were those who silently climbed the Tower.

 

Three days later. Kang Jun-hyeok immediately entered the Tower.

 

[12th Floor Quest begins.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok arrived at the 12th Floor.

 

That place was different from everything so far. It was filled with strange mechanical devices. It was like the form of a massive facility.

 

And in the center of it all stood one massive robot.

 

A massive robot. It was the size of a giant. It looked like a robot that would appear in real-world comics.

 

Whirrrrr.

 

The robot’s eyes glowed red. Infrared beams locked precisely onto Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

[12th Floor Quest.]

 

[Take control of the facility.]

 

“Let’s give it a try.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok drew his sword.
