I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 002
1. Rumors of the Tower (1)
One of the spears that can be summoned by the blessing of the tower.
The ‘Bulletin Board’ in the community window was a blessing created so that humans summoned to the tower could communicate with each other.
[Entire bulletin board]
[Hot Topic Bulletin Board]
[Bulletin board by floor]
［… … .］
［… … .］
To put it simply for those who are hearing this for the first time, it was the ‘Internet’ that could be used inside the tower.
The first of April 1st at the top.
A new topic was posted on the bulletin board, and it was quite funny.
[Today’s Hot Topic]
[Title: I’m Alone on the 100th Floor?]
[Author: Seon Yu-jin]
［Excuse me? It’s starting from the 100th floor, not the 1st. Isn’t that wrong?
Level 1: What is this… Please teach me how to do it!】
The author of this ridiculous article was a Korean, and he went into great detail about the view from the 100th floor and how he came to be like this.
“Oh my, don’t climbers catch colds these days? They should at least carry an umbrella.”
Mr. Choi, who runs a bar on the 17th floor, frowned at the sight of a customer coming in soaking wet from the rain.
“I don’t even have time to use an umbrella.”
“Ugh… …
Mr. Choi let out a long sigh at the customer’s answer and said what he wanted to say by handing the female customer a towel.
“???thank you.”
The female customer, who was roughly wiping the water off her head with the towel she had received, shrugged her shoulders and spoke.
“We have to move quickly. It’s already been ‘two years’ since the tower was built. The cataclysm that the Answerer predicted is less than a year away… We have to clear the tower quickly before there are more civilian casualties.” Choi asked casually, looking at the guest with his fists on his waist.
“Are you a climber too?”
“yes.”
A book so large it could almost be considered a shield was hanging on the guest’s back.
“Haha, I guess I asked a useless question. I can tell at a glance that you’re the one who’s doing it.”
Mr. Choi turned his head and looked out the window, sighing repeatedly and beginning to lament his situation.
“I’m a civilian who gave up on the 17th floor. I heard about people dying and I got scared and stopped… haha…
“I think so. Everyone is afraid of death. I am too… Oh, and a cup of coffee, please. Something warm.”
When a customer who had put down the large book he was carrying on his back on the floor asked for a cup of coffee, Mr. Choi hurriedly prepared a cup of coffee and asked,
“How many floors have you been to?”
“Me?”
“yes.”
“It’s the 42nd floor.”
“Huh?! So, you’re a ranker?”
“Yes. Not right now… though.”
In that split second, Mr. Choi noticed that the female customer’s expression had darkened and asked her to change the subject.
“Then, you must be familiar with the story about the once popular ‘Top Legend’?”
“Is it a legend?”
“Why is that? Back in the old days, when the Tower of Trials was first built… what was it? Oh, right!”
Mr. Choi, who had tilted his head for a moment, continued speaking as if he had finally remembered.
“Is this one of the hot topics that was posted on the cafe? The legend that there might be someone who starts the tower upside down! Is that really true? Someone coming down upside down?”
The customer who had been crying out ‘Ahh’ at Mr. Choi’s words smiled and shook his head.
“That’s not a legend, it’s just a rumor. I’m even more certain because I was once a ranker, but that’s absolutely impossible. A level 1, not even a top ranker, turning the tower upside down? Haha, it’s impossible.”
“I see, right?”
“But why is that?”
“Oh, last week a friend of mine suggested a question. Is it true that there is a Descender who goes down the Tower of Trials upside down?”
“Haha, that’s funny.”
“Right? Even before the tower was built, he was a guy who really liked urban legends… He’s a guy who believes things like invisible dragons are real.”
“Poo-hop, the date that post was originally posted was April… April Fool’s Day. Anyone could tell it was a lie.” The female customer answered with a smile, then frowned after taking a sip of the cup of coffee that Mr. Choi had offered her.
“…Ugh?”
Mr. Choi, who witnessed the customer’s expression crumple, bowed his head with an apologetic expression.
“Oh my, I thought you’d be a sweetheart since you don’t really say anything… I’ll give you back the black one!”
The female customer quickly waved her hand as she saw Mr. Choi hurriedly taking out a new cup.
“Oh, no! It’s okay!” The female customer, who had not let go of the cup in her right hand, drank the steaming coffee with a bitter expression.
“Something sweet and warm is just right.”
“Really, that’s good.”
“I’m glad it suits your taste.”
After that, Choi did not say anything more to the female customer who was silently sipping her coffee.
It seemed like there was something going on, but judging by the atmosphere he was giving off, it wasn’t a pleasant one… so I didn’t dare ask.
“???Thank you for the delicious drink.”
Mr. Choi, who checked the expression of the female customer who was getting up from her seat after packing her bags, held out his palm and spoke first.
“I won’t accept money.”
“Yes? But… …

“You’re working hard for the civilians in the tower, right? And besides, you seem to be around the same age as my daughter… How could I accept money from you? Just stop by the store once in a while and let me know how you’re doing.”
Mr. Choi’s words also meant that he wanted to live and not die.
“Yes, I will.”
The female customer hesitated to answer for a moment, then forced a smile and said yes, then left the bar.
The girl who had left the tavern glanced at the large book she was carrying on her back.
‘Now, this is all that’s left.’ Despised, abandoned, and soon betrayed from the tower, all she had left was this one thick, stupid ‘summoning book.’
‘okay.’
I don’t know what the reason was, but the girl’s eyes were burning with revenge, not afraid of death.
[The worst summoning tax
[Rating: ???]
[consumption]
[This summoning scroll can summon the most fearsome demon within the Tower of Trials.]
[If used, summons the demon ‘???’]
[Cannot be used by anyone other than the class ‘Black Magician’]
[Caution! The demons summoned are the most vicious and cruel in the tower.]
[Caution! The demons summoned are the most vulgar, mean, and possibly incompetent demons in the tower.]
[Caution! The worst demon summoned by this summoning scroll may not follow the summoner’s orders, and the safety of the patient and those around them may not be guaranteed.
[may not be possible]
The ‘Worst Summoning Scroll’, with its terrifying name, was the girl’s last bastion and her last hidden card.
The girl was certain that with this summoning scroll stolen from the guild she had previously stayed in, she would be able to achieve the revenge she desired.
‘let’s do it.’
A hidden secret place on the 17th floor of a tower… The girl stepped deep into an alleyway with no sign of life.
“Whew… … The girl took a short deep breath in the rain and looked up at the sky.
As if they knew the girl’s feelings, the sky on the 17th floor was covered with dark clouds and pouring rain.
[There is no turning back after summoning. Do you really want to use the ‘Worst Summoning Scroll’?]
A warning message appeared before the girl’s eyes as she opened the summoning scroll and breathed her own energy… or mana.
‘I’m ready.’
I have read the description written in this summons dozens, hundreds of times before.
Since it had three warnings attached, using it was practically suicidal.
however…….
Even if the demon summoned by this did not grant her wish, the girl was prepared.
‘This is all there is.’
Because all he had left was this summons.
The girl was exhausted.
How many times have I been pushed off a cliff and then ended up on the edge of a cliff again?
“Isn’t this enough of a reason to give up?” the girl muttered to herself.
“I will summon you.”
As the girl responded to the warning message that appeared in front of her, the warning message disappeared and the summoning scroll on the floor began to shake.
Phalang… .
Palang-
The wind and rain blew and began to turn the pages of the summons book violently, but strangely enough, the paper did not get wet.
The summoning scroll that had been vibrating like a vibrate mode on a cell phone soon began to emit small lightning bolts while making a crackling sound.
‘They say the most fearsome demon is summoned from the tower, and it wasn’t a lie. My mana…
The girl who had been reaching for the summons soon opened her eyes wide.
‘??? Coming!’
There were moments when I felt, ‘Ah, they’re coming out now’ whenever I summoned low-level and mid-level demons as a warlock, and it was the same now.
I got a feeling.
The girl was certain that soon, through the worst summoning scroll, the tower’s most fearsome demon would be summoned.
Boom!
..Kwaang!! Was it a coincidence?
Just before the summoning, a bolt of lightning struck the summoning scroll through the dark clouds, and the girl, who had been glaring, screamed.
“Whoa?!”
She had been startled and had her eyes tightly shut, but then realized that she had fallen backwards from the impact on her back.
I could also tell that the lightning was causing a ringing in my ears.
‘Is it okay?’ However, he didn’t know whether he had succeeded in summoning or not.
‘Is that okay?’
The girl who had fallen backwards and was covered in mud struggled to raise her upper body and confirmed the being that had appeared before her eyes.
Swish
The beeping tinnitus subsided, and the sound of golden rain filled the girl’s ears again.
“…uh?”
Through the sound of the rain, a human voice, not a demonic one, could be heard.
The girl was speechless and just stared blankly at the boy who appeared before her.
“What? Why all of a sudden… …
The boy’s expression of confusion as he drew his finger in the air was exactly the same as the movements that climbers make when checking their current floor.
“Huh? 17th floor?”
The boy who discovered the girl with her mouth open in a daze asked with an expression of disbelief.
“A, a person?”
“Are you a person? Is this a dream… This doesn’t seem like a dream? Isn’t this some kind of ordeal? No? Huh? Are you really… Are you a real person?”
“Oh, my,” the boy asked again, his voice trailing off as if he couldn’t speak properly.
“Uh, uh, so… you’re a real person, right? Right?” the girl managed to ask.
“???yes?”
The boy asked again.
“Hey, this is the 77th floor, right? So… it’s really the 17th floor as it says on the window? Am I right?”
77th floor?
Even the current leading tower rankers haven’t even made it past the 50th floor yet… What does that mean?
“Please tell me that’s right!”
“Oh, that’s right.”
The girl, who did not understand the question, flinched at the boy’s sudden rude tone and answered with a trembling shoulder.
“It’s the 17th floor.”
“Oh my god!!”
Oh my… The boy muttered in a hushed voice, either in excitement or in resentment.
“Wow! It’s a real person!”
≪……2”
“Ugh, whoa! Huh!!”
The terrifying demon summoned from the worst summoning scroll was, for some reason… a boy biting his lower lip and rubbing his eyes with his sleeve.

[Level: 10]
The girl, who was still unable to get up from her seat, looked at the three letters appearing above the boy’s head and asked cautiously.
“Where…are you from?”
Eugene swallowed his snot with a sniffle and answered with an expression that said he had lived a good life.
“??? from above.”
“yes?”
“Up. Up.”
The boy lifted his left index finger slightly and pointed to the cloudy sky.
