I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 032
10. Hidden Class (3)
“this??????
Eugene, who noticed that the person he was seeing for the first time had stopped breathing, put the potion he had been holding back into his inventory.
“It seems like it was a fatal wound… Even the potion wouldn’t have helped.” Eugene looked at the man’s chest, the cause of his bloody appearance, and clicked his tongue after confirming the long scar.
“You used a knife.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Serin looked around to see if there were any other traces, but she couldn’t find any.
The 5th floor was a straight road with nothing but a white background, so it was impossible to hide any traces, so it seemed likely that the culprit was no longer there.
“You didn’t cross paths with the culprit, did you?”
“I don’t know.”
Eugene remembered what he had heard earlier as he offered his condolences to the climber who had lost his breath.
“Personally, I’m more concerned about what this person said before he died than who killed him.”
The dying climber’s last words were ‘hidden class’.
“Before they intercepted him… he said that, so isn’t he related to the criminal who harmed this person?”
“That’s highly likely. But, was there really a hidden class in the tower?”
Warrior, Archer, Mage, Priest, and Thief… It was common sense that the classes of the tower were fixed to these five.
“Well? It’s already been two years since the tower was built. Many hidden floors have been discovered, and it wouldn’t be strange if hidden classes were discovered soon… …
In the past, many climbers would go through the trouble of finding a needle in a haystack to find a hidden class.
The result at the time was a dud, but now that quite some time has passed since the tower was built… who knows.
“I’ve heard that there are people who haven’t given up since then.”
” what?”
“People who are trying to find hidden classes. Maybe this person here is one of those who are trying to find it… …
Eugene frowned as he looked at the bloody climber after hearing Serin’s explanation.
“Then what? You’ve been stuck at level 10 for two years, just looking for hidden classes?”
“That’s what it is.”
“It’s amazing in many ways. Level 10 in 2 years… …
As Eugene muttered that he was fed up, Serin, who was standing next to him, started looking at Eugene with a dumbfounded expression.
“why?”
“There are some great people here in many different senses.”
“??? Really?”
Eugene coughed in vain and got back to the main point.
“Anyway, no matter what this guy said, we don’t need to change our route.”
I don’t know what the dead climber’s story was, but there was no need to try to find out the will of a stranger.
“Let’s go down and see.”
The 5th floor was a straight road, so there was no need for a separate guide, so Eugene went ahead.
[Current floor: 5th floor]
The stairs going down from the 5th floor to the 4th floor were among the shortest stairs I’ve ever seen.
[Current floor: 4th floor]
After walking for a few minutes, Yu-jin and Seo-rin arrived at the 4th floor and confirmed that there weren’t many people there either.
The 4th floor was designed to resemble the inside of a cave, and it seemed like there was no need to worry about getting lost thanks to the torches lit up everywhere.
“There’s no one here either?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Unlike the 5th floor, I thought there would be people there, but there were no other people on the 4th floor either.
“At this point, I think something is strange? Only one person saw it, and that one person looked like this… …
Eugene shrugged his shoulders, unable to detect any presence, as he moved his nose to use his sense of smell and tilted his ear to use his sense of hearing.
“It feels like there’s no one on the 4th floor either?”
“Is that so?” Seo-rin tilted her head at Eugene’s guess and remembered the ordeal on the fourth floor.
“It’s been two years since I’ve been here, so my memory is a bit hazy, but what was the ordeal here?”
While Serin was racking her brain to remember the ordeal on the fourth floor, Eugene noticed something squishy crawling on the ground and approached it.
“Is this it?”
What Eugene was pointing at with his finger was a round jelly.
[Cave Slime]
[Level: 10]
It was a monster from another world named Slime, which could only do squishy things.
“Ah, slime!”
Serin looked at the slime wandering around the cave and remembered the ordeal on the 4th floor.
“The fourth floor’s ordeal was to catch that slime and make it level 10. I remember that if the climber who came here was level 10, they could just climb up without having to break the ordeal.”
Eugene, who was playing around by putting his hand in and out of the slime, asked Serin about her explanation.
“Then can I just go down?”
“yes.”
Unlike the 5th floor, the road was winding and curved, so this time it was time for the guide to take the lead.
“Shall we continue?”
“Okay… Hmm?” Eugene tried to take his hand out of the slime, but stopped when he felt a strange sensation on his palm.
“Wait a minute, what is this?”
Eugene, who was waving his arms and digging inside the slime, put in some force as if he was struggling.
The squishy slime couldn’t withstand Eugene’s strength and burst like a balloon, evaporating within me.
“Why are you doing that?” Serin, who was about to take the lead, turned around at Eugene’s sudden action of showing off his skills.

“this.”
Eugene showed the thousand pieces of cloth he was holding in his hand.
“hmm?”
“Isn’t this the cloth they sell at the basic store?”
“That’s right.”
Eugene’s white cloth clothes, bought at the basic store, were torn to pieces.
It was in my hand.
“It was so torn that I almost couldn’t recognize it, but I think it’s correct.”
Eugene looked at the piece of cloth in his hand in response to Serin’s answer and told her where it was.
“It came from the slime.”
“To the slime?”
Serin shook her head as she imagined the bad situation for a moment.
“The slimes on the 4th floor don’t have any lethality. They don’t have anything acidic or poisonous, so they’re just for the experience needed to get to level 10, nothing more or less.”
“Then?” “So the owner of that piece of cloth wasn’t a slime, but was attacked by some other ‘something’?”
The bloody climber I met on the 5th floor, the piece of cloth that was in the slime on the 4th floor… It seemed like a sign that something bad was happening on the floor below.
“Hmm??????
Eugene, who did not hide his displeasure at Serin’s explanation, dropped the piece of cloth he was holding and spoke.
“If we go this way, there will be bad traces left along the way, so it makes me feel strange.”
Eugene, who decided that he had to prepare for the unexpected, called out to Serin, who was a few steps ahead.
“Come here for a moment.”
“yes?”
Serin, who walked towards Eugene at his call, tilted her head as if asking why.
“Do you have the items you picked up on the 7th floor? There are a few that a wizard can wear. Wear them now.” “Huh?” “Take out everything you can and wear them. Just in case.”
“Why don’t you just attach Eternal like before? Why do you have to… …
Items of unique grade or higher become bound to their owner once a climber wears them and cannot be passed on to another person.
Although Serin felt guilty about the item Eugene had acquired becoming her own, she subtly revealed that she did not want to wear it.
“That kid isn’t omnipotent. And… it’s a pain to keep using what I gave you anyway.”
Serin flinched.
“No, I’ve gotten used to the stench to some extent. And the appearance, um, it’s not that bad… …
A vein appeared on Eugene’s forehead.
“Ah, if you tell me to do it, do it! Why are you spitting so much?”
“Well, it’s not my property… If I grab it and it becomes my property, I don’t know how I’ll repay it… …
I couldn’t wear it because it was burdensome and seemed like something you could only get on the 40th floor.
“Do you want to wear it if I force you to take it off?”
“You said you wouldn’t lay a hand on me?”
“Oh, I got it! I’ll wear it!”
Surin, overwhelmed by Eugene’s gaze, hurriedly opened her inventory and checked the items she had obtained on the 7th floor.
[Sobbing Black Crystal]
[Rudelin’s masterpiece]
[White Bird Wrist Guard]
[White Cloud Puppy Robe] The equipment she could wear was an orb, a weapon exclusive to wizards, a unique-grade ring, a rare-grade belt, and a unique-grade robe… a total of four items.
“Phew.”
Thanks to the Blessing of the Tower, putting on or changing gear could be done by double-tapping an item in your inventory with your finger.
［If you wear an item of that grade, it will be attributed to the climber who wears it.
[All. Are you sure you want to wear it?]
When I touched the item in Serin’s inventory with my finger, a window appeared asking if I really wanted to wear the item, just as I had feared.
“Hold on.”
When Serin looked at Eugene with a timid face, Eugene urged her with a fierce face.
“I will try to use it sparingly.”
As Serin reluctantly decided to wear the item, her clothes changed in an instant as she moved her fingers. The blessing of the top using the inventory was not only a convenient change of clothes.
Another great advantage was that the size of the equipment was automatically adjusted to fit the body of the person wearing it.
“Oh, what do you think?”
It felt awkward overall, but it was a lot better than when I had turned over the black rag Eugene had handed me.
“It’s okay.”
“Is that so…?”
“Oh. It’s worth seeing.”
Eugene reached out his hand towards the person who was covering Serin’s face.
“Especially here… …
“ah.”
As the name suggests, the robe of the White Cloud Puppy was impressive with its long, pointy puppy ears attached to its hood.
“It’s cute here.”
Eugene, who was petting the dog ears on her hood as if he were petting a pet’s fur, asked her about the gear she was wearing.
“how is it?”
“What is it?”
“How does it compare to what I used to use?”
≪ o uh……”
? n『 ?
Serin, who was checking the items she was wearing and reminiscing about her time at Black Rose, answered with an awkward smile.
“The performance itself was a bit better than when I used it in its prime.”
“okay?”
Eugene, with his arms crossed in a sense of defeat that he couldn’t explain, muttered as if he couldn’t lose.
“Then I guess I should add this to the top kit list. Reinforce the guide equipment.”
“Isn’t it really necessary to add something like that?”
“No. I can’t lose.”
Then, Eugene, who was carrying Serin on his back, urged the guide on.
“I’ll go down quickly and finish my job change, and I’ll replace Mr. Guide’s equipment first. It’s probably better than this, but it’s probably a 40th floor item. Right?”
“Huh? Well… …
“I have something better for you.”
A faint smile appeared on Serin’s lips as she headed to the third floor, pushed by Eugene.
[Current evidence: 4 evidences]
Although it was a winding road because it was the first floor of the tower, it didn’t take long for the two to reach the next floor.
‘hmm?’
It had to be that way.
It had to be done, but something felt off.
“But the stairs here are a bit steep?”
“No, that can’t be… …
It’s been a long time, but my memories are vague, so I wouldn’t have forgotten this place… Serin, who was leading the way, muttered with a look of incomprehension.
“The stairs here shouldn’t be this long… Something feels strange.”
As the situation unfolded differently from what she had known, Serin hurriedly opened the window showing the current floor.
[Current floor: 3.5th floor]
