All Master of 100 Floors Episode 099

Floor 16. World of Numbness (2)

A thick and black World of Numbness. Kang Jun-hyeok was left alone in that place.

And Eldyria was watching him from her planet. A Blood Mirror was showing Kang Jun-hyeok’s figure.

“Hey. Manbyeonggi.”

[What is it.]

Manbyeonggi answered. She asked as if curious.

“Can’t he hear our words right now?”

[That’s right. Not only our words, but he won’t be able to feel anything at all.]

“I was curious about what the Tower was like, and this is what it was.”

The Tower evaluated various abilities, not just strength alone. Eldyria muttered as if amazed.

“Does he have to endure in this place for a week? What an interesting structure. But… it shouldn’t be much.”

For an ordinary person, it would be more than enough to cause a mental breakdown.

But Kang Jun-hyeok had calmly endured her dignity, the presence of a deeply rooted tree. There was no way he would crumble under this level of pressure.

“It’ll be a boring time. The Tower isn’t that impressive either.”

[I wonder about that.]

Manbyeonggi muttered at her dismissive attitude. Eldyria was puzzled.

“Are you saying there’s something else?”

[You’ll know if you keep watching.]

“Hmm.”

Eldyria stared intently at Kang Jun-hyeok.

Kang Jun-hyeok slowly moved his body.

He couldn’t feel anything.

Skills including Observation were also sealed.

The only thing he could rely on were his physical senses.

So he moved forward. His steps showed not a trace of hesitation.

After advancing for several seconds like that, Kang Jun-hyeok soon realized he could go no further.

He reached out his hand. His hand moved forward but was blocked by something and couldn’t proceed. After groping around to identify what was blocking him, he could tell it was something close to a wall.

Kang Jun-hyeok continued moving his hand. Watching this, Eldyria realized.

“He’s figuring out the structure of Floor 16. But why?”

Eldyria couldn’t understand. Floor 16 would be cleared anyway if you survived for a week. Since you could clear it by just staying still, there was no need to figure out the structure.

Even while she was puzzled, Kang Jun-hyeok continued moving his body. After continuously moving along what seemed to be walls, he was able to figure it out.

‘A 10-Pyeong Room.’

That was the structure of Floor 16. It was information that even Kang Jun-hyeok from his previous life didn’t know.

Having confirmed the overall structure, Kang Jun-hyeok began moving delicately.

He slowly walked into the room. He checked what his feet caught on and identified structures that blocked his hands.

His foot began pushing something aside. After grabbing it with his hands and checking its structure, he identified that it was in the shape of a chair.

Then there wouldn’t be just one chair. As Kang Jun-hyeok moved forward from where the chair had been, something blocked his path. When he felt the structure with his hands, it was a table.

He placed his hand on the table. He felt what seemed to be bowls, and on top of them was something soft. Kang Jun-hyeok sat down on the chair. He grabbed the soft thing and put it in his mouth. His teeth moved as he chewed and swallowed it.

‘It was bread after all.’

Kang Jun-hyeok chewed and tore at the bread.

He was gradually understanding the structure of Floor 16.

This place was an ordinary house.

That made moving around much easier. Kang Jun-hyeok’s actions became even more uninhibited. He found a bed and discovered a water storage jar. He drank water and lay down on the bed.

And only then did Eldyria realize Kang Jun-hyeok’s goal.

“He’s trying to live there.”

In a world where nothing could be felt, where all six senses were paralyzed, Kang Jun-hyeok was trying to live like an ordinary human. She couldn’t understand it.

“Why?”

Couldn’t he just stay still for a week and clear it? Why did he need to do such troublesome things?

Manbyeonggi spoke calmly.

[Read the Quest’s objective again.]

“What is there to read again? Live in this place for a week…”

Eldyria stopped mid-sentence. Her eyes widened as if she had realized something.

“…Live.”

[That’s right. It’s not endure or survive. The Quest’s objective is to live in this World of Numbness. To grasp that concept immediately. Truly excellent.]

Manbyeonggi spoke cheerfully. Eldyria let out a groan.

“So that’s what it was.”

Floor 16’s Quest wasn’t simply about enduring.

It was about living in this World of Numbness like an ordinary human. She understood the concept itself.

But that’s exactly why she was even more shocked.

“He figured that out immediately upon arriving on the floor?”

A space close to death where all senses were excluded. He immediately grasped that he needed to go beyond simply enduring and actually live here, acted without fear, and carried it out.

If she had been thrown into this place, would that have been possible?

No. It would be impossible. She wouldn’t have felt much fear, but she wouldn’t have tried to move actively either. She would have just waited quietly for time to pass.

Kang Jun-hyeok was doing something even she couldn’t do.

Of course, it wasn’t his ability alone. It was possible because he had experience and memories from his previous life. But Eldyria, who couldn’t know that, was genuinely amazed.

Manbyeonggi spoke quietly.

[You must have noticed, but that guy’s talent isn’t exceptional. His sword technique, spear technique, archery, and martial arts talent are all mediocre.]

He had reached the level of a prodigy, but from their perspective, it was an utterly insignificant level. In terms of talent alone, they could find thousands who surpassed Kang Jun-hyeok.

[But that guy has the ability as a Player. When it comes to conquering the Tower, when it comes to finding answers, he’ll be better than anyone.]

Eldyria didn’t argue. No. It would be more accurate to say she couldn’t. After all, she hadn’t found the answer either.

[You and Pixie think that guy can’t fell a deeply rooted tree alone. That guess itself is correct since it wasn’t easy for us either. But… that guy is more special than that.]

Manbyeonggi muttered happily.

[Watch once. How that guy climbs the Tower. And what he accomplishes.]

Eldyria closed her mouth. Her eyes quietly sank.

Kang Jun-hyeok continued living on Floor 16.

He gathered food ingredients from the kitchen and cut them appropriately with a knife. He placed them on the table, sat on the chair to eat, and lay on the bed to sleep. In his spare time, he also trained his martial arts through breathing techniques.

He lived like an ordinary human in the World of Numbness. At some point, those actions began to feel incredibly familiar.

‘Is it about time?’

Time gradually passed like that, and soon a week had gone by.

He had accomplished the Quest’s objective.

There would be no problem clearing it like this.

However, while living in this place, Kang Jun-hyeok felt something strange.

‘The room’s structure is odd.’

Overall it was an ordinary room, but exactly one corner protruded out strangely. As if something was hidden there.

Normally, it would be absolutely impossible to figure out. Just living in the World of Numbness was difficult enough. But he had perfectly grasped this room’s structure. He could notice that subtle difference.

Therefore, Kang Jun-hyeok moved his hand. He checked the part and looked around the nearby devices. After investing time like that, he discovered a button that protruded out strangely.

Kang Jun-hyeok pressed the button. No sound could be heard, but he could instinctively tell that the room had changed. He moved his body. The protruding space had receded.

When he reached his hand inside, something was caught in his grasp. As he gripped it, the space suddenly rippled.

Kiiiiing!

The black that covered the world disappears. The paralyzed senses begin returning one by one. The Medieval Room reveals itself. Cold air like ice is felt through his hand, and a deep, deep dark gem enters his vision.

And the Quest ends.

[Floor 16 Quest Clear.]

[Rewards will be determined based on your performance.]

[Checking achievement rate…]

[Check complete.]

[Achievement Rate: 100%]

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

[Title: Perfect Player effect has been added.]

[You have obtained 2,123 Gold.]

[Perfect Clear reward [Void Gem] has been obtained.]

[Perfect Clear reward [Active Skill: Sixth Sense Exclusion] has been obtained.]

[Observation Proficiency has greatly increased.]

[Players who Perfect Cleared Floor 16: 1 person]

[You are alone!]

[Universe Announcement.]

[Please congratulate them! All Players of the Universe! A Perfect Player of Floor 16 has appeared. This is an achievement no one has accomplished until now!]

[Great Achievement + 4]

Kang Jun-hyeok, who had returned to Earth, exhaled. With all six senses returned, he felt refreshed as if waking from sleep. As he stretched, Manbyeonggi muttered to him.

[You noticed it well. It would have been difficult without grasping the room’s entire structure.]

“It wasn’t particularly difficult.”

Kang Jun-hyeok shrugged his shoulders. He asked with a playful expression.

“So how was it? Lady Eldyria?”

[…Hmph. It was decent enough to watch.]

Eldyria spoke in an indifferent tone. But he knew better than anyone that when Eldyria said such things, it was when she was trying hard to maintain her pride. Kang Jun-hyeok suppressed his laughter and checked the rewards.

[Void Gem]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[A gem of the void that devours all things. It consumes both tangible and intangible values.]

A material item. He could take it to the Blacksmith. Looking at the description, it seemed quite useful.

And the next thing he obtained was an active skill.

[Active Skill: Sixth Sense Exclusion]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Cooldown: 3 days]

[Excludes the sixth sense of a contacted target for 1 second.]

“Ooh.”

Kang Jun-hyeok exclaimed in admiration.

A powerful skill that forcibly excludes the sixth sense. It had the disadvantage of requiring contact, but the effect was more than worth it even considering that.

He hadn’t been able to obtain a skill with such an effect even in his previous life.

It was probably a skill that could only be obtained by achieving a Perfect Clear on Floor 16. It was a satisfying reward.

The Perfect Clear title reward he obtained further enhanced his senses.

After checking the rewards, Kang Jun-hyeok lay down on the bed.

‘So now I’ve cleared Floor 16.’

It was faster than he had expected. Since he didn’t know how long a Perfect Clear would take. That’s why he had one concern.

‘At this rate, the preparations might not be finished before I arrive.’

Floor 18.

The preparations he had requested needed to be completed before arriving there. Just as he fell into thought, his phone rang. Kang Jun-hyeok answered it.

“Hello, Ms. Kim Tae-yeon.”

-Ah. Mr. Kang Jun-hyeok. I saw that you just cleared it. Congratulations!

“Thank you. What’s the matter? Did you receive contact about me from outside?”

-No. We’re handling that part ourselves. It’s actually about something else – what you requested has finally been prepared. I’m sorry it took so long.

Kang Jun-hyeok sat up. Kim Tae-yeon continued speaking.

-The gems you requested – rubies, sapphires, diamonds and such. They’re all prepared. I’ll visit and deliver them to you.
