All Master of 100 Floors Episode 070

 

13th Floor. God of Weapons. Haiheimer (1)

 

[Title: …13th Floor. What is this?]

 

[What… does such an existence really exist.]

 

[What exactly is this Tower?]

 

[At the end of this, what could there be?]

 

* * *

 

[Uuuuum….]

 

Pixie, who had received the memories, let out a groan. After a moment, she exhaled and opened her eyes. Then she made a strange expression.

 

[…Other Players were surprised or flustered when they suddenly saw robots appear, but you show no such signs at all. It feels like you knew what would come out.]

 

“Is there really anything to be surprised about? If there’s Internal Energy and Magic, there would be robots too.”

 

[That’s not how typical Players think. They’re consumed by prejudices called common sense.]

 

Pixie smiled brightly.

 

[You’ve become able to use True Ancestor’s Ability even without being a vampire. Eldyria certainly made you special. Interesting. I wonder if this is about right?]

 

[120 Starlight has been awarded.]

 

“120, huh.”

 

It was quite little.

 

Not enough to buy anything. Pixie spoke as if it was natural.

 

[Clearing the 12th Floor wasn’t particularly novel. Vampire Abilities were somewhat interesting, but that was all.]

 

“Hmm.”

 

It wasn’t wrong. All he did was crush the robot with force. From Pixie’s perspective, it wouldn’t have been very entertaining. Pixie grinned.

 

[It’s fine. There are still many floors left to climb. Will you use the regular Shop too? You seem to have enough Gold?]

 

The Gold that Kang Jun-hyeok currently possessed was around 9,000. It was enough Gold to purchase not only the lowest grade but also Low Grade Skills. However, Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

 

“No. I’ll postpone it for now.”

 

[I guess you’re thinking of buying even Intermediate Skills. Got it. See you next time then.]

 

Pixie left. Kang Jun-hyeok now began checking the 12th Floor rewards.

 

[Incomplete Mechanical Helmet]

 

[Part: Helmet]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Strength + 4]

 

[Defense + 8]

 

[A helmet from a robot machine that was being made. It is in an incomplete state and most of its functions have not been implemented]

 

An incomplete helmet.

 

The robot was not in perfect condition.

 

He already knew this fact. He had seen many robots of that form in his previous life. A completed robot was itself a cosmic weapon.

 

The helmet itself was useful. The strength stats were decent and the defense was high.

 

Then next was the Perfect Clear reward.

 

[Laser Rifle]

 

[Part: Weapon]

 

[Grade: Intermediate]

 

[Equipment Ability: Can fire a laser with 1,000 damage.]

 

[Cooldown: 5 minutes]

 

[A laser rifle handled by the robot that was being created. Most of its functions have not yet been implemented, but the most basic function can be used.]

 

“Not bad.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok showed interest.

 

It was an equipment ability-type weapon like the Fireball Staff. The robot’s laser rifle had an extremely long range. It would be safe to say it reached several kilometers. Moreover, its speed made it difficult to counter.

 

The damage was also considerable, so it could be used effectively for climbing the Tower. It was a satisfying reward.

 

Next, the Perfect Player title had an additional +2 defense. Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled softly as he looked at the title.

 

“This is really ridiculous.”

 

[Title: Perfect Player]

 

[The beginning of the Tower. A title given to those who perfectly cleared Floor 1.]

 

[Current Effects]

 

[All Stats +1]

 

[Passive Skill proficiency increase rate slightly enhanced.]

 

[Active Skill proficiency increase rate slightly enhanced.]

 

[Defense +4]

 

[Strength +2]

 

[Speed +2]

 

[All senses are enhanced.]

 

[Internal Energy +1]

 

[Health +30]

 

[The title’s effects increase as the number of Perfect Clear floors increases.]

 

Content was added with each floor cleared, so now it had become this long.

 

Each individual effect might not seem significant, but when accumulated like this, the meaning changed.

 

Most importantly, this was only the 12th Floor. There were still mountains of floors left to climb. He was quite excited to see what level it would reach when all of them accumulated.

 

After finishing his check, Kang Jun-hyeok turned on the TV during his remaining time to browse the news.

 

The world was still chaotic, but not as much as before. People who had cooled their heads were gradually sensing the danger and starting to climb the Tower.

 

That pace was clearly faster than in his previous life. It seemed that Baekdusan and Kim Tae-yeon’s responses were definitely having an effect.

 

While browsing the news, he saw familiar names.

 

[Olivia Turner has successfully cleared the 45th Floor!]

 

[Yu Jin-ha has successfully cleared the 44th Floor. He has entered the top 30 in the world. An incredible speed. Korea’s pride!]

 

“They’re climbing diligently.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok muttered.

 

Three days had passed since then. Kang Jun-hyeok entered the Tower without delay.

 

[13th Floor Quest begins.]

 

[Prove yourself.]

 

And Kang Jun-hyeok arrived.

 

Before a massive altar where countless weapons were embedded.

 

[You have discovered the altar of Haiheimer, the God of Weapons, defeated in the Great War.]

 

* * *

 

Kang Jun-hyeok approached the altar. Haiheimer’s presence began to be felt more and more.

 

A god.

 

This wasn’t the first time a Player had encountered such a being.

 

On the 7th Floor, Yulsir had been watching the Player.

 

But Yulsir only watched from afar. He didn’t intervene or reveal his presence. The Player could only sense that some massive being existed, but knew nothing beyond that.

 

In contrast, the 13th Floor was different.

 

Here, the god’s presence could be felt directly.

 

Something massive.

 

Like the universe itself. A presence that demanded one kneel and worship. In fact, most Players couldn’t withstand that presence and collapsed on the spot.

 

The floor where Players first properly faced a god. That was the 13th Floor.

 

[It’s been a long time, Haiheimer.]

 

Manbyeonggi muttered. The massive presence looked at Manbyeonggi, and emotions could be felt.

 

Emotions as if finding it strange, as if the situation was amusing.

 

And soon that gaze turned toward Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

What was contained in that gaze was surprise and interest.

 

And expectation.

 

Soon a System Window appeared.

 

[13th Floor Quest.]

 

[Pass the trial of Haiheimer, the God of Weapons.]

 

The 13th Floor.

 

Its clear condition was passing the trial given by the god.

 

[Haiheimer proposes a trial to you.]

 

[Condition: Pass the trial.]

 

[Condition: Prohibition of Active Skills.]

 

[Reward: To be determined]

 

“Hmm?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok tilted his head.

 

Prohibition of Active Skills. He had never seen such a condition in his previous life. It was puzzling, but there was no particular reason to refuse.

 

“I accept.”

 

Wooong.

 

Intense waves spread out from the altar. Soon, space began to reorganize itself.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok drew his sword and waited.

 

‘I wonder what will appear.’

 

He wasn’t particularly nervous.

 

The Defeated Ones of the Great War held various emotions toward Players.

 

Some were angry, others contemptuous. But most of them shared one common will.

 

That was to support Players.

 

To find talented gems capable of changing the future, support them, and alter the predetermined ending of the universe.

 

That was one of the main purposes of the Defeated Ones.

 

Haiheimer was such a typical Defeated One.

 

He tried to help Players, and accordingly, his trials weren’t particularly difficult. They were just at a level that Players could reasonably clear, and he gave the maximum rewards he could offer.

 

Simply put, not a single Player had ever died challenging the 13th Floor. He was close to being an incredibly kind god.

 

Given that, it probably wouldn’t be too difficult. With such thoughts, he waited, and soon an enemy appeared.

 

It was a single Warrior.

 

Wearing thick leather armor and a helmet covering his head. He held a long sword in one hand.

 

The Warrior, who had been looking at Kang Jun-hyeok for a moment, kicked off the ground.

 

Kuuuung!

 

At that moment, Kang Jun-hyeok’s eyes widened.

 

Fast.

 

Considerably so.

 

Dangerous enough that he’d be in trouble if he didn’t respond immediately. Kang Jun-hyeok raised his sword.

 

Kagagagak!

 

The moment he blocked the Warrior’s sword, Kang Jun-hyeok’s body was pushed backward. It meant the Warrior had enough strength to push him back.

 

The Warrior didn’t stop. He stepped forward and thrust his sword. Kang Jun-hyeok moved his hands quickly.

 

Kaaaang!

 

Sword clashed against sword, producing a metallic sound. Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression became serious.

 

Kagagak!

 

He blocked the downward strike. Then deflected it as if sliding it away. The Warrior’s force crashed into the ground, leaving him defenseless.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok put strength into his swing, aiming for the Warrior’s shoulder.

 

Kwajik.

 

The leather armor didn’t pierce through. Kang Jun-hyeok’s sword strike only left a shallow cut. Taking advantage of that opening, the Warrior struck Kang Jun-hyeok with his shoulder.

 

Thueong.

 

“Ugh.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok groans as he’s pushed back. He deflects the charging warrior’s sword while thinking.

 

‘The sword won’t pierce through?’

 

Considering his current strength stats, the warrior’s body should have been cut clean in half.

 

But he couldn’t even pierce through a single leather armor.

 

He quickly racks his brain. Why is this happening? It’s not a problem with attack power. Attack power is purely about how much damage you deal. If you can’t pierce through defense in the first place, it’s meaningless.

 

Then is the leather armor itself special? No. If that were the case, the sword shouldn’t have pierced at all from the beginning. But wounds were still created.

 

Then it’s probably an issue with strength stats.

 

Most likely it’s a concept where pure strength is insufficient to pierce through the armor.

 

In that case. Kang Jun-hyeok sheathed his sword and drew his axe.

 

Clang clang clang!

 

He swings his sword to deflect, parry, and create openings. Then he steps forward. With force and acceleration, he brings down the axe.

 

Crack!

 

The axe blade pierces through the leather armor and embeds into the shoulder. The warrior’s body staggers.

 

This attack confirmed it.

 

It was because his strength was insufficient that he couldn’t pierce the leather armor.

 

Since he used an axe that could deliver more force than a sword, it pierced through the leather armor.

 

Then using an axe rather than a sword was the right choice. The sword and axe clash violently. Kang Jun-hyeok puts powerful force into each strike. The warrior with a shoulder wound can’t defend properly.

 

And finally.

 

Crack.

 

The helmet shatters, and the warrior’s body collapses.

 

[Your Axe Technique proficiency has increased.]

 

“Whew.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok caught his breath.

 

The warrior was quite strong.

 

Strong enough that he had to face it seriously. On top of that, it wore special armor that his sword couldn’t pierce.

 

“What?”

 

Haiheimer’s trial was supposed to be fairly simple. The moment he thought that, the space suddenly began to change.

 

Rumble rumble rumble!

 

The world collapses. In the empty air, two platforms about 1 meter apart appear. On one platform stands Kang Jun-hyeok. On the other platform, a warrior appears.

 

That warrior was holding a spear.

 

The opponent gripping the spear fiercely thrusts it forward.

 

Whoosh!

 

“Ugh!”

 

He twists his body to dodge. Kang Jun-hyeok, who was about to swing his axe, hesitates.

 

Between the two of them was a platform barely wide enough to stand on.

 

The distance was roughly 1 meter.

 

An axe could never reach. Kang Jun-hyeok drew his spear.

 

Kagagagak!

 

Spear clashes against spear. The spear shafts bend as they aim for each other’s vital points. Like the previous warrior, this was no easy opponent.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression darkened.

 

The opponent pulled back their spear, then thrust it forward sharply. Kang Jun-hyeok didn’t dodge and thrust his spear forward to meet it. The spear shafts collided with each other.

 

Kwajijik!

 

The opponent’s spear tip grazed past Kang Jun-hyeok’s cheek.

 

And Kang Jun-hyeok’s spear pierced accurately through the opponent’s chest.

 

As the opponent’s body collapsed, the world changed once again.

 

And what appeared this time was a giant slime.

 

A monster in liquid form.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok thrust his spear. It made a squelching sound as the spear tip sank in, but caused no damage whatsoever.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok quickly withdrew his spear and created distance, muttering.

 

“Right. You’re not planning to let me go as easily as the others.”

 

The weapon god Haiheimer was speaking to him now.

 

Show me your true ability.

 

Show me the ability worthy of Manbyeonggi.

 

If you don’t, you will die here.

 

This isn’t a trial where I’ll go easy on you like with other players. A real trial where you must stake your life and fight with everything you have.

 

“That’s exactly what I wanted.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok twisted his lips into a smile. He put away the spear and pulled out his combat gloves. He stepped forward and threw a punch.

 

Puhwak!

 

The slime that was hit by his fist burst apart.
