All Master of 100 Floors Episode 085

 

15th Floor. Heaven-Gifted Blacksmith (6)

 

[Ink-colored Armor]

 

[Part: Upper Body Armor]

 

[Grade: Superior]

 

[Strength + 4]

 

[Speed + 6]

 

[Defense + 20]

 

[Armor created with the full power of the Heaven-Gifted Blacksmith. Worthless materials took shape under his touch.]

 

“Huh.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok let out an involuntary gasp of admiration.

 

What kind of performance was this.

 

Superior-grade armor. And the stats were ridiculous. Every stat was more than double that of the True Ancestor’s Robe he had been wearing.

 

Literally, it was on a different level.

 

For an ordinary Player to obtain equipment of this level, they would need to reach at least the 45th Floor. But the Blacksmith himself had a dissatisfied expression.

 

“Hmph. I was short on materials because I enhanced Manbyeonggi. More than anything, it’s been a while since I used my full power, so there are many inadequate parts. I’m not satisfied.”

 

“This is equipment you’re not satisfied with?”

 

Meanwhile, Kang Jun-hyeok couldn’t contain his amazement.

 

Next was Manbyeonggi. Kang Jun-hyeok picked up the gauntlet.

 

[Manbyeonggi + 1]

 

[Part: Weapon]

 

[Grade: Unique]

 

[Attack Power + ? + 4]

 

[Can store ten thousand weapons.]

 

[Only those with qualifications can wield it.]

 

“This is also.”

 

Manbyeonggi’s name now had “+ 1” attached to it.

 

It was a designation he’d never seen before. It seemed to mean +1 enhancement. And as its effect, it gained +4 attack power. The Blacksmith didn’t look satisfied with this either.

 

“It was my first time enhancing Tower equipment. I had to approach it conservatively, so I couldn’t draw out its maximum performance.”

 

“…I see.”

 

But once again, Kang Jun-hyeok was shocked.

 

Manbyeonggi had gained +4 attack power.

 

Objectively speaking, it wasn’t a high number. The sword Kang Jun-hyeok was currently using had 35 attack power. For consuming precious materials, it was a small increase.

 

The equipment Kang Jun-hyeok was currently wearing had over 30 attack power.

 

But if it was Manbyeonggi, the story was different.

 

Manbyeonggi can store ten thousand weapons.

 

In other words, it meant that all weapons Kang Jun-hyeok wielded would permanently gain an additional 4 attack power.

 

If he threw spears with 4 attack power consecutively, they would all become 8. He would be dealing double damage.

 

And this was only +1 enhancement. Considering he could enhance it further in the future, its value was immeasurable.

 

“Hmm. For now, be satisfied with this much.”

 

“I’m more than satisfied—I’m overflowing with gratitude. Thank you.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok expressed his sincere gratitude. Finding it not unpleasant, the Blacksmith chuckled.

 

“I am a blacksmith. I’m close to being an NPC of the Tower. You can visit this place anytime. Bring materials next time. I’ll make something proper for you then.”

 

“Understood.”

 

One of the main uses for materials obtained while climbing the Tower was the Blacksmith. He would visit frequently, just like the Shop.

 

The world began to collapse. Before returning to Earth, he heard the Blacksmith’s murmur.

 

“I won’t be bored for a while.”

 

[Floor 15 Quest Clear.]

 

[Compensation will be determined based on your performance.]

 

[Checking achievement rate…]

 

[Check complete.]

 

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

 

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

 

[You can now use equipment crafting through the Blacksmith.]

 

[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]

 

[5,214 Gold has been granted.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [Upper Body Armor: Ink-colored Armor] acquired.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [Manbyeonggi +1] acquired.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [You can now use equipment enhancement through the Blacksmith.]

 

[Perfect Clear reward [You can now use equipment alteration through the Blacksmith.]

 

[Players who Perfect Cleared Floor 15: 1 person.]

 

[You are alone!]

 

[Universe Announcement.]

 

[Please congratulate! Everyone in the Universe! A Perfect Player of Floor 15 has appeared. This is an achievement no one has accomplished until now!]

 

[Achievement +10]

 

“Phew.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had returned to Earth, exhaled.

 

He thought about the Perfect Clear of Floor 15.

 

Since he knew the strategy for dealing with the Cold Ice Jade and Red Flame Jade that the golem he faced at the end wielded, it wasn’t as difficult as he had expected. After catching his breath for a moment, he spoke.

 

“Pixie.”

 

Swoosh!

 

Space split open and a fairy with dark circles under her eyes appeared, her eyes gleaming brightly.

 

[You’re here? Come on, come on. How did it go? Show me quickly!]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok extended his hand. Pixie quickly grasped it. The memories of clearing Floor 15 flowed into Pixie.

 

[Mmm!]

 

Pixie let out a groan of admiration. After a moment, she released his hand, her eyes shining brighter than ever.

 

[Ha, haha! You succeeded again! You went beyond that arrogant Heaven-Gifted Blacksmith’s sincerity and obtained his full power! And what’s this? You know how to counter Cold Ice Jade and Red Flame Jade too? Where did you get that from? No, no. That’s not what’s important.]

 

Pixie couldn’t contain her excitement and continued speaking rapidly.

 

[My Treasure Instinct. You used it very well, didn’t you? How did you know you’d need it on Floor 15? Do you have some kind of Foresight ability? It doesn’t seem like that though? Is it pure Intuition?]

 

Instead of answering, he smiled slightly. At his expression that seemed to say ‘figure it out yourself,’ Pixie made a delighted face.

 

[Hahahaha! You’re really interesting! I truly can’t figure you out!]

 

Pixie waved her hand roughly.

 

[Come on! Take it!]

 

[430 Starlight.]

 

“Oh.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok let out an exclamation. It was more than he had expected.

 

The total Starlight he now possessed was 750. He could purchase simple Skills or Materials.

 

However, Kang Jun-hyeok forcibly suppressed his desire.

 

Among the things Pixie sold, the most valuable was Pixie’s Wings.

 

That skill required 1,000 Starlight. While Treasure Instinct was necessary for clearing Floor 15, since there was nothing urgent at the moment, he planned to endure.

 

“I’ll hold off for now.”

 

[Then what about the Gold?]

 

“I’ll use that. I’ll purchase two Lower-grade Active Skills.”

 

[Hmm? Really?]

 

Pixie made a surprised expression.

 

[I thought you’d save up until you could buy an Intermediate Active Skill.]

 

“I’d like to do that too, but I need to prepare.”

 

While he could save Starlight, he couldn’t afford to save Gold as well.

 

[…Ah. I see. It’s soon, isn’t it?]

 

Pixie made an understanding expression and waved her hand.

 

[Here you go.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok received the box and checked the Skills.

 

[Active Skill: Earth Shake]

 

[Grade: Low Grade]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 30 minutes]

 

[Shakes the surrounding ground. The degree of shaking is proportional to the Strength stat.]

 

[Active Skill: Charge]

 

[Grade: Low Grade]

 

[Proficiency: F]

 

[Cooldown: 30 minutes]

 

[Charges powerfully toward the target. Affected by Strength and Speed stats.]

 

Earth Shake and Charge. Earth Shake had low value, but Charge was quite a useful skill. He nodded his head.

 

“Thank you.”

 

[Don’t mention it. I’m the one who’s grateful. So… is it tomorrow now?]

 

“That’s right.”

 

Pixie grinned widely.

 

[This time won’t be easy.]

 

“The previous times weren’t easy either.”

 

[That may be true, but this time will be even more so. I hope you return safely.]

 

Pixie waved her hand and left. Kang Jun-hyeok lay down on the bed.

 

He closed his eyes and spent time in Meditation. Time passed like that.

 

And the next day.

 

“Is it time?”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok opened his eyes.

 

At the same time, a System Window appeared.

 

[Hello, everyone!]

 

[You’ve waited a long time! Have you been diligently climbing the Tower? You should have been!]

 

He got up from his seat. Cheerful text appeared.

 

[Now then, everyone! The second test begins!]

 

And the world turned upside down. His body left Earth and moved to a separate location.

 

He landed on the ground. He raised his head and looked around.

 

He saw endless, vast plains stretching beyond the horizon. And he wasn’t alone in that place.

 

“Wh-whaaaaat!”

 

“What, what is this?”

 

People looked around in confusion.

 

Their number was enormous. At a glance, there seemed to be tens of thousands. The murmuring gradually spread.

 

While leisurely looking around at them, a familiar voice rang out.

 

“Ah! Mr. Kang Jun-hyeok!”

 

“You’re here!”

 

Kim Tae-yeon and Baekdusan hurriedly approached Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok greeted them.

 

“Nice to see you. Have you been well?”

 

“Yes, yes!”

 

“We saw the announcement! You achieved Perfect Clear up to Floor 15. That’s amazing!”

 

Baekdusan exclaimed with great excitement. Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled and asked.

 

“What about you two? Which floor have you reached?”

 

Kim Tae-yeon and Baekdusan hesitated.

 

“…I’m on the 35th Floor.”

 

“36th Floor…”

 

“You haven’t climbed as much as I expected.”

 

“Well, we had things to do.”

 

Both trailed off as if embarrassed. Kang Jun-hyeok could guess why.

 

They must have focused on leading and caring for other Players. Because of that, they probably lacked time to climb the Tower.

 

“Well, it’s your choice. It’s not my place to interfere.”

 

“Right…”

 

When Kang Jun-hyeok showed no particular reaction, the two felt even more uncomfortable. They looked like children who had done something wrong but weren’t being scolded.

 

“By the way… there are a lot of people here.”

 

Kim Tae-yeon looked around.

 

There were countless people on the vast plains. Even a rough estimate put the number at tens of thousands. Kang Jun-hyeok answered.

 

“Players from Korea who passed the first test. They must have gathered everyone.”

 

“…When you put it that way, it seems quite few.”

 

Baekdusan muttered with a bitter expression. Didn’t it mean that even gathering all of Korea only amounted to tens of thousands?

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok’s thoughts were the opposite.

 

‘There are more than I expected.’

 

Compared to his memories from his previous life, the number had increased by nearly 20%.

 

“Then are the remaining people passing the temporary test?”

 

“That’s probably highly likely.”

 

As they quietly observed, the commotion gradually subsided. Kim Tae-yeon muttered with a puzzled expression.

 

“But… why isn’t anything happening?”

 

The first test had immediately told them what to do as soon as it started. But now it was eerily quiet. Kang Jun-hyeok looked up at the sky.

 

“It should come soon.”

 

“What?”

 

At that moment, the sky split open. People screamed and crouched down. A white hand emerged from the split sky, tearing through space to expand it.

 

Swoooosh!

 

And then it revealed itself.

 

A young girl with long, flowing black hair.

 

Earth’s Administrator smiled brightly and greeted them.

 

“Hello!”
