All Master of 100 Floors Episode 092

 

Vampire Queen. Eldyria (1)

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was speechless.

 

It was such an unexpected benefit.

 

“Why are you suddenly doing this for me?”

 

“Because I want to!”

 

The Administrator said confidently. Kang Jun-hyeok chuckled and shook his head.

 

‘Right. This is what kind of being she is.’

 

Rules, regulations, and laws mean nothing to the Administrator. The only thing that matters is her own will. The Administrator smiled brightly.

 

“Of course, you can choose the existing rewards too! I’m not forcing you!”

 

“I see.”

 

Kang Jun-hyeok stared intently at the reward window.

 

[Please select one of the following rewards.]

 

[1. Gold befitting your rank.]

 

[2. Unique Equipment made just for you.]

 

[3. Unique Skill made just for you.]

 

[4. Very Special Material Item.]

 

[5. Passage leading to one of the Defeated Ones.]

 

“…You’re just opening a passage?”

 

“That’s right!”

 

The Administrator spread her arms.

 

“The Great God! The Swordsman Who Splits Worlds. The Mage Who Understood All Principles! I’ll open a passage that can take you to them!”

 

Those words weren’t empty. The Defeated Ones were beings who once ruled this universe, close to Transcendents. The Administrator grinned wickedly.

 

“Right now they’re nothing more than worthless and lowly defeated ones, but compared to your current state, there’s a big difference. Ah. Of course, I’m not looking down on your value. They just don’t have any more challenge rights. Don’t misunderstand, okay?”

 

“I understand.”

 

The Defeated Ones.

 

Powerful and mighty, the former Masters of the Universe.

 

If he met them directly and received rewards, he would obtain something far superior to other rewards. That wasn’t all. He could build connections with the Defeated Ones, making future movements easier.

 

However.

 

‘It’s a trap.’

 

Not all of the Defeated Ones were friendly to Players.

 

Among them were those who were hostile or indifferent. There were also those whose goodwill was so strong that it actually had a negative impact on Players.

 

But all of that was irrelevant to Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

He knew all too well who was friendly and who would be helpful to him.

 

‘What should I do.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok smiled faintly. Instead, the Administrator was the one who became flustered.

 

‘Huh?’

 

She had expected to enjoy watching Kang Jun-hyeok agonize over his decision, but he appeared far too composed. After a brief silence, Kang Jun-hyeok nodded his head.

 

“I’ve decided.”

 

“Great! Who are you going to? Or the Giant Who Walks the Earth? The Old Man Who Carves Stars? Say whatever you’re comfortable with!”

 

“The Vampire Queen.”

 

“…What?”

 

The Administrator hesitated at Kang Jun-hyeok’s answer. Kang Jun-hyeok opened his mouth.

 

“The Vampire Queen. I would be grateful if you could open a passage to Eldyria.”

 

* * *

 

At that time.

 

The other Players each chose rewards befitting their achievements and returned to Earth.

 

And among them were also those who had failed to achieve results.

 

“Oh. I’m back.”

 

A man returned to Earth with a cheerful smile.

 

He was a Player who had failed to pass the first test.

 

And he had also failed to pass the temporary test given this time.

 

However, his expression wasn’t dark at all. With a face that said this was for the best, he lay down on his bed and tore open a bag of snacks.

 

“There’s no penalty or anything anyway. I don’t see why I should risk my life climbing the Tower.”

 

The penalty for failing to pass the first test was merely being unable to climb the Tower for one month.

 

That was all.

 

For him, that wasn’t a penalty or anything. It was closer to a reward.

 

It wasn’t just him. The majority of Players had given up on passing the test and were just leisurely enjoying themselves. Soon, a System Window appeared before them.

 

[Hello. Upon confirmation, you have failed to pass the temporary test following the first test. This is extremely, extremely disappointing. An appropriate penalty will be given.]

 

“Hurry up and give it to me. What is it this time? Not being able to climb the Tower for two months?”

 

The man chuckled. As if responding to his mockery, the System Window calmly pronounced its judgment.

 

[You will be given death for 5 seconds.]

 

“…What?”

 

The man’s eyes widened.

 

And at that moment.

 

Death struck the man.

 

His existence was erased. His senses disappeared and everything became meaningless.

 

Terrifying emptiness and meaninglessness.

 

The man wanted to scream, but even the mind to scream had been extinguished.

 

A terrible time close to eternity continued.

 

“…Gasp!”

 

Finally, the 5 seconds ended. The Man gasps and bolts upright.

 

“Ahhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!”

 

He convulses as if having a seizure. He tries to tear his skin with his fingernails and clenches his teeth, crushing his gums. He bangs his head against the wall. Blood flows endlessly from his eyes and nose.

 

Terrible fear overwhelmed The Man. But even so, The Man felt relief. He was alive. He hadn’t died. He was here. At that fact, he simply wailed like a child.

 

The System window continued speaking as if his feelings didn’t matter.

 

[Health decreases by 50.]

 

[All stats decrease by 2.]

 

[Proficiency of all skills decreases.]

 

[You cannot climb the Tower for the next month.]

 

[A temporary test will be conducted before the third test.]

 

[If you fail to pass that test as well, we will grant you permanent death. Do your best to climb the Tower.]

 

“Uh, uhhhhh…”

 

The Man looked at the System window while tears streamed down his face.

 

He couldn’t see any of the other content.

 

Only one thing.

 

If he failed the next test, permanent death would be granted.

 

Only that one thing entered his vision.

 

“Ah, ahh.”

 

Tears flowed endlessly from The Man’s eyes.

 

People finished the test and came outside.

 

Those who collected their respective rewards and rejoiced were soon bewildered by the despair and screams of those who failed to pass the test. Soon they realized what situation they were in and were horrified.

 

Those cornered finally began struggling desperately to become stronger.

 

But a frog that has already fallen into oil cannot escape no matter how much it struggles.

 

Except for a few exceptional ones, they would simply drown and die.

 

All the frogs prayed they would be exceptional beings and hastily prepared to climb the Tower.

 

After that chaos settled down, talk about clearing began. Naturally, the topic focused on one thing.

 

The one who cleared the 46th Floor, a top-tier powerhouse even by world standards. Yu Jin-ha.

 

The Perfect Player who was far stronger than him.

 

About the existence called Kang Jun-hyeok.

 

* * *

 

Earth was in a chaotic situation due to various issues.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok was not on Earth.

 

He was now at the outer edge of the Universe.

 

A coldly frozen wandering planet. No matter where he looked around, only black could be seen everywhere.

 

‘It’s been a while.’

 

This place was the dwelling of the Vampire Queen. Eldyria.

 

She had always stayed in this place when she was tired and struggling. He had memories of visiting her each time to comfort her. A faint smile crossed his face at the emerging memories of the past.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok moved his steps. And before long, he found his target.

 

Brilliant silver hair.

 

Crimson red eyes.

 

Pure white skin.

 

Beauty like a sculpture.

 

It was the Vampire Queen. Eldyria.

 

‘Still the same.’

 

She had been Kang Jun-hyeok’s close friend in his past life.

 

Her expression was just more rigid and hardened, but nothing else was different from his past life. A strange sentiment arose as if he had returned to the past.

 

“A Player?”

 

Eldyria, who had been blankly staring into the air, opened her mouth.

 

“How many times has this been now. How tiresome.”

 

She clicked her tongue and looked at Kang Jun-hyeok. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled slightly and bowed politely.

 

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Eldyria. Vampire Queen. My name is Kang Jun-hyeok.”

 

“….”

 

Eldyria slightly furrowed her brow.

 

All the Players who had sought her out until now had spouted endless words and emotions, saying they loved her and asking her to be with them. There would have been no reason to come all the way to this remote planet otherwise.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok was remarkably calm.

 

He was looking at her quietly with restrained emotions.

 

There was no love in that gaze. Eldyria, who had been examining his emotions for a moment, soon realized.

 

‘Longing?’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s emotions as he looked at her contained longing.

 

Eldyria was confused. Normally she would have immediately swung her hand to kill him, but a strange interest arose and she observed him more.

 

‘…He’s weak.’

 

Kang Jun-hyeok’s power wasn’t remarkable.

 

Among the Players who had come this far, he was among the weakest. Rather, it was surprising how he had even reached this place.

 

After observing Kang Jun-hyeok for a moment, Eldyria soon realized one fact.

 

“…You?”

 

[Did you finally notice? It’s been a long time. Eldyria.]

 

Manbyeonggi answered. Eldyria grimaced.

 

“So it was you. You’re in this guy’s hands? What an insignificant ending.”

 

[That’s how it turned out. Quite amusing, isn’t it.]

 

Manbyeonggi spoke cheerfully. Eldyria paused at the remarkably light attitude.

 

“You’ve changed. You’re different from before.”

 

[Various things have happened.]

 

Eldyria looked at Kang Jun-hyeok again. After examining him for a moment, she soon felt puzzled.

 

‘I feel a strangely familiar aura.’

 

It was a familiarity as if meeting a blood relative.

 

But no matter how much she looked, no answer came. For her, the very thought that her past self had given him True Blood was beyond reach. After pondering, she opened her mouth.

 

“What do you know about me.”

 

The past. It was a question she had asked when killing the Player who came to find her.

 

Kang Jun-hyeok answered calmly.

 

“I know many things. That you were foolish, and also naive, that you craved affection, and at the same time were wounded.”

 

“You are no different either.”

 

A cold voice echoed.

 

“Those who see fragments of the past trapped in the Tower and boast they know me. How utterly tiresome.”

 

This one was also the same as all the Players who had come to find her before. Having judged thus, Eldyria’s eyes turned red. Manbyeonggi muttered reluctantly.

 

[…It seems like she’s going to attack you.]

 

“So it appears.”

 

[Weren’t you acquainted? Since you knew quite a lot about her, I thought you had some connection.]

 

Kang Jun-hyeok shook his head.

 

“We’re meeting for the first time.”

 

The current Eldyria, that is.

 

Crackle.

 

Killing Intent manifested and space froze. Kang Jun-hyeok smiled.

 

[Aren’t you going to explain? You’re going to die.]

 

Manbyeonggi said. It was a certainty. Between Eldyria and Kang Jun-hyeok, there was a difference like an elephant to an ant. He couldn’t even reach her, nor could he find any variables.

 

The right method would be to immediately explain the situation and calm her down.

 

But Kang Jun-hyeok smiled silently.

 

His opponent was Eldyria.

 

She was one of the great Transcendents.

 

An existence beyond his current reach.

 

If he fought risking his life, what could he gain from it?

 

Seeing Kang Jun-hyeok’s expression, Manbyeonggi realized his inner thoughts. He let out a hollow laugh.

 

[Crazy bastard.]

 

Eldyria flicked her finger. Blood Water surged up violently. Kang Jun-hyeok instinctively moved his body.
