I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 10
3. The Stinky Shortcut (4)
〈A reward?〉
Nena, who was sweating profusely at Eugene’s words, checked the five bundles placed on the table.
〈What is this?〉
Nena frowned as she looked over the bundle rolling around on the table and asked.
“It’s a snack.”
Eugene answered without a moment’s hesitation and continued speaking, pointing to the things on the table with his palm.
“And it’s a matter of luck.”
Eugene talked about the types of food he had prepared, similar to the five drinks Nena had prepared.
“I don’t remember what was in there, but… there was candy, sweet herbal medicine, apple juice, a candy bar, and… uh… chocolate.” Feeling a strange sense of discomfort at the type of snack mentioned at the end, Serin looked at the bundle on the table.
‘snack?’
Something felt suspicious.
〈Why should I eat it?〉
When Nena answered with a look of utter disgust, Eugene shrugged his shoulders slightly.
“It’s just a thank you for giving me something delicious! It doesn’t mean anything else.”
<… … .>
“I thought you liked this kind of thing, so I prepared it as a bonus, but are you not sure?”
Nena’s eyebrows furrowed.
〈Are you not confident?〉
Snacks and good luck.
There were two things that fairies liked.
〈Haha, no way!〉
Nena, who had been smiling awkwardly, flapped her small wings and reached for the bundle on the far left.
‘Hong, a snack? Don’t be fooled! He must be doing this to repay me for giving him poison a little while ago!’ Nena muttered to herself and met the eyes of the boy standing across from her.
The boy, unlike himself, was simply looking at the snack he had prepared with an innocent expression.
‘Hey, this snack prepared by a human being… Just look at how tasteless it is! This is punishment!’
In Nena’s eyes, Eugene’s level was also displayed properly.
It was only 10, a level so weak that it could be knocked over with just a fart.
“Where… …?” Nena muttered with a question mark on her face as she unpacked the first bundle.
<...what's this?>
Seo Rin, who had been watching the two from the side, carefully poked her head out to check the first snack.
“What is it?”
Serin also muttered the same thing as Nena.
“candy.”
Eugene answered.
“Candy?”
〈Candy… you say?〉
Eugene: In Serin’s eyes, looking at what she had described as ‘candy’, there was a jade-colored, rough stone.
‘Anyone can tell it’s a mineral… …
Nena also frowned and raised an objection, as if she had the same thought.
〈Hey! This isn’t food!〉
“no.”
〈No way!〉
“Oh, I said it was candy?”
Eugene, with a frustrated expression, added while looking down at the first snack in the bundle.
“???Mint flavor.”
Although I was dumbfounded, I had a hard time asking him outright if he was a rock because his expression was so serious.
〈Well, try it first.〉
Even though she was a fairy who loved snacks and sweets, she couldn’t eat something that looked like ore to anyone.
“good.”
Eugene readily answered Nena’s question, picked up a piece lying on the bottom of the bundle with his finger, and put it in his mouth.
???Oh my god.
???Oh my god.
I put a piece in my mouth, rolled it briefly with my tongue, and chewed it with my molars, and it really did sound like I was chewing candy.
“Mmm! So sweet!”
〈Gulp… … ?>
The fairy wiggled her little tongue, wondering if she really liked candy.
Nena, who was too small to swallow the first snack Eugene had prepared in one bite, opened her mouth wide.
〈Aaang!〉
I took a bite with my front teeth to break open a piece of candy the size of my body… … .
Kkwadduk!
Wood crunch!
It’s not the mint candy that’s broken,
They were tiny teeth.
〈???What the heck?!〉 As the fairy’s teeth popped out like popcorn, Serin’s eyes widened.
〈Ah, ahh?〉

The fairy, who had lost several teeth, looked at Eugene with an expression asking what was going on.
“No, it’s not candy. Your tooth is broken.”
Eugene blinked his eyes and smacked his lips with a slurp.
“That’s just how it is.”
“It’s a bit stiff.”
Where had the shy expression from earlier gone, an evil expression had taken its place.
“Okay, next.”
Eugene, who didn’t care that his teeth were broken, opened the second bundle for Nena.
“???Ugh?!”
As the second bundle opened, Serin, who was standing next to me, took a step back without realizing it.
‘What’s that smell?’ If the poison that Nena had prepared was more of a ‘I’ll die if I eat it’ kind of thing, then the second snack that Eugene had prepared was more of a ‘Oh, I absolutely can’t eat this.’
“The second one is chocolate.”
Eugene began to speak with a sly smile.
〈Huh?〉
“yes?”
The identity of the olfactory sensation that prickled their noses was chocolate? Serin and Nena asked at the same time, unable to believe it.
〈That’s a lie!〉
Nena, who had been screaming, was terrified when she saw the contents of the second bundle.
〈Who are you trying to fool? That’s the poop of a herbivorous goblin! You can’t eat it!〉
Serin took a step back at the single word Nena brought out and covered her mouth with her hand as she looked at Eugene.
At that moment, it occurred to him what could have possibly caused him to be summoned to the 17th floor.
“I ate it.” Eugene muttered calmly to the terrified Nena and reached for the second bundle.
“You eat it too.”
Nena, feeling a sense of crisis, hurriedly flapped her wings, but it was too late.
“Where are you going?”
〈Huh?!〉
“I prepared a thank you gift, but I can’t leave until you eat it all.”
It was the same rule of the game Nena used against the climbers.
If all five options were not selected, you couldn’t escape from the clutches. 〈Human, you arrogant… If you come out like this, you know it’s really not fun.〉
Eugene, who was holding the fairy, smiled evilly.
“Why? I’m having fun.”
“You… will regret it.”
As if Eugene’s smile had been the fuse, one side of the fairy’s wing that had been sparkling began to gradually turn black.
I felt an evil aura.
The 15.5-story fortune-telling fairy began to reveal its true form.
〈I want you… … .>
One of its wings had suddenly turned into that of a demon, and its once cute eyes were now burning brightly on one side.
〈I’m going to kill you!〉
Serin, who had been looking at the ‘thing that was a fairy’ until just a moment ago, held her breath without realizing it.
That’s something that climbers who have experienced this place up until now would mistake for a ‘manager’.
[Fairy Nena]
[Level: ???]
Nena, the fairy in charge of the 15.5th floor, wasn’t the tower’s manager or anything.
[Devil Fairy Nena]
[Level: 70]
Level 70, a level that rivals the top rankers of the tower… It was a trial on a hidden floor.
‘???Level 70?’
Serin trembled after checking Nena’s level.
‘That kind of thing… …
Nena giggled as she confirmed Serin’s surprise and warned Eugene, who was holding her back.
〈Yes… If you let this go even now, I can personally forgive you… Huh?!〉
A stinking chocolate was shoved into the giggling snout.
〈???Ugh!!〉 Because my front teeth were all broken because of the mint candy, I had no way to stop the chocolate from entering my lips.
〈Gweeeeeeek!!〉
Serin, who was astonished at Nena’s level, held her breath at the sight that followed.
〈Ugh! Human〉, save me… save me!〉
Nena, who was splattering brown mud and screaming hysterically, reached out her hand towards Seol-rin, who was standing far away.
When Serin avoided eye contact, pretending not to see her, Nena’s expression turned pale.
“Two is done! Now three!”
〈Eww! Ewww!!〉
Nena, who was captured by Eugene, surrounded her entire body with black flames in an attempt to survive, but the strange evil power was not diminishing but rather growing stronger.
〈S, save me! Save me… Save me!〉
The third bundle of snacks was unpacked.
〈Oh, well, kill me… … .>
The fourth snack bundle was unpacked.
〈It’s delicious! It’s delicious, so please!〉
The fifth snack bundle was unpacked.
〈Hehe… … ->
As Nena fell unconscious on the table with her mouth open, Eugene turned to Serin and asked.
“What do you want to do with this?”
“Huh, yeah?”
Serin, who had flinched without realizing it, answered in a trembling voice.
“He’s the devil.”
Serin, who was looking at Nena, tilted her head as if she still did not understand the meaning of the question.
“That’s right. I thought it was definitely the tower manager or something… I didn’t know it was just a high-level ordeal.”
Eugene motioned for Serin to come closer and asked, pointing to Nena.
“Are you going to use this?”
“yes?”
“You’re a sorcerer, right? I understand that the concept of summoning demons to fight together is possible, but this guy… can’t he be used as a summon?” “Well… he can be used.”
Serin, who had finally understood Eugene’s question, made an embarrassed expression after checking Nena’s level.
“I’ve never made a contract with a demon with such a large level difference… Are there any side effects? Like they won’t listen?”
Even Serin, who was once a top ranker, found my level burdensome.
“What can’t you do to survive on the tower? Besides, you have nothing right now, right?”
Serin’s inventory was completely empty after being betrayed by the guild.
She once carried around items that would have been the envy of all warlocks, but that was a long time ago.
“It goes without saying that things like poison resistance are a given, but if you don’t have any equipment, you’ll need to have good summons to survive in this tower.”
Serin nodded after briefly pondering the advice of the person from above.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Serin reached out to the unconscious Nena and used one of the basic skills of a black magician, ‘Devil’s Contract’.
[Devil Contract]
[Black Magician: Demon]
[Attempt to make a contract with a non-contracted demon. The contracted demon may become stronger than the contract holder’s abilities.]
[Contract terms may vary from demon to demon, but it is usually easiest to make a contract when the demon in question is ‘passed out’.]
[Currently contracted number of demons: 3]
It was one of the skills that came naturally when you changed your profession to a warlock.
[Would you like to make a contract with the devil ‘Nena’?]
The process wasn’t that difficult, since one of the conditions for the contract, ‘stunning’ the demon in question, had already been met.
“it’s okay?”
“For now.”
Serin took her hand away after confirming the mark carved into Nena’s nape.
[Currently contracted number of demons: 4]
As the number of contract demons displayed in her skill window changed to 4, Nena’s fainted appearance disappeared as if it was evaporating.
“If you don’t have confidence in controlling it, only use it when it’s dangerous.”
Eugene shrugged his shoulders and spoke as if telling him to quickly return to his main job.
“Let’s keep going. If we go down here, it’s the 10th floor, right?”
“Ah, yes.” Serin, who had returned to being the tower’s guide again, nodded in response to Eugene’s question and took the lead.
“Hey, but… …
“hmm?”
“Where did those snacks come from?”
When asked about Serin’s snack, Yu Jin shrugged and answered.
“I picked it up from above.”
