I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 033
10. Hidden Class (4)
3.5 floors.
The current floor that Serin had confirmed was a hidden floor that could not be found by normal means…
“It’s a hidden layer?”
As Eugene tilted his head after belatedly checking the current floor, Serin began to look around.
There was no way I could have taken the wrong route.
I just came back down the way I came up, but it’s not the 3rd floor, it’s the 3.5th floor?
“Guide, this isn’t the route we were originally planning to take… right?”
When Eugene asked with narrowed eyes, Serin, who was checking her surroundings, nodded slightly.
“I don’t know what happened, but I ended up on the 3.5th floor instead of the 3rd floor.”
Serin, who had said that she had taken the wrong road, continued speaking with an expression that showed that she did not understand English.
“Strange? There has never been anything like this before.”
Eugene, who had opened a bulletin board to find out information about the 3.5th floor while Serin was confused, shrugged his shoulders.
“There isn’t any information about this floor on the bulletin board. It could be the first floor we’ve discovered.”
Serin, who was resting her chin on Eugene’s guess, thought back to what she had seen on her way down here.
“It may not be the first time.”
Yujin, who had passed Serin, who had come down first, took the lead just like she had on the 15.5th floor.
“Guide, step back for a moment. I’ve already put on my gear and attached the Eternal, but just in case.”
By any chance, if, if… … .
For Eugene, who came down from the 100th floor, the words, “That won’t happen, but… …” did not exist.
Preparedness.
It was Eugene’s habit and non-characteristic trait to always think of the worst rather than the best.
‘Since the trial on the 15.5th floor was a level 70 demon, there is a high possibility that a trial with a difficulty level that does not match the floor will appear on this floor as well.’
Eugene, who clenched his fist to calm himself down, took the first step.
3.5th floor was different from the other floors we had passed by so far, it was a floor with a murderous and eerie atmosphere.
As evidence… … .
“Hey, are you okay?”
Dismissed!
Dismissed!
Eugene’s special ability began to take effect, dispersing electric currents around his body.
“You can’t go back.”
“yes’?”
Serin, who looked back at Eugene’s words, realized that the stairs leading back to the 4th floor had disappeared.
“When did that happen?”
“It’s similar to the top floor in structure. Once you come down a floor, you can’t go back up.”
Serin, who noticed what Eugene was trying to say, followed closely behind her employer.
“Is it okay?”
“Don’t ask. I can’t give you a definitive answer.”
Eugene, who had not let his guard down, glanced at the scenery on the 3.5th floor once more.
It was all red.
Unlike the 5th floor, which was dominated by a white background, the 3.5th floor felt like a room painted bright red.
“There’s no sign of life, but the smell of blood is vibrating… Maybe it’s all blood.”
Serin nodded as if agreeing with Eugene’s opinion.
Even though she had no special olfactory abilities, she could still detect the pungent smell that stung her nose.
“Let’s hurry. Based on my experience, it’s better to get through these floors as quickly as possible.”
Eugene, who had been walking slowly while looking around, started running down the red carpet.
As he was not running at full speed, Serin was able to keep up with him at a similar pace, and then heard a sobbing sound, ‘Sob, sob!’
‘This sound… …
Seo-rin’s mouth fell open as she turned to look at the place where she heard the sobbing sound as if she was possessed by something.
“ah?”
It was because someone had a strong grip on his hand.
“Don’t listen.”
The sensation of her right hand touching him wasn’t just a vicious power that made her come to her senses. Not wanting to miss the warmth that warmed her hand, Serin couldn’t help but listen to Eugene’s voice rather than the unidentifiable sobbing.
“It seems like a mental disorder… I don’t think it’s something a climber would use.”
Eugene, who was looking at the sobbing person instead of Serin, frowned as if he had immunity to it.
“Kill… kill… Why are you saying things like that?”
Eugene noticed what the voice was saying and stopped walking.
“hmm?”
This was because a type of window I had never seen before appeared before my eyes.
[You can change your job to the hidden class ‘Killer’. Would you like to change your job to that class?]
I don’t know what conditions were met, but the classes I was able to advance to were not the five basic classes that climbers are familiar with.
Murderer.
I don’t know the details, but just looking at the words, it didn’t seem like a very good class.
“I heard that you can now change your class to Murderer?”
“yes?”
“It’s a hidden class.”
Seo Rin, who had been tilting her head at Eugene’s words, asked with wide eyes.

“Hey, hidden class?”
“uh.”
As Eugene moved his hand and touched the word ‘murderer’ that appeared in front of him, additional characteristics of the corresponding class were displayed.
[Hidden Class: Murderer]
[A class for those who are intoxicated by the blood flowing in the tower, and they move for only one purpose.]
[Exclusive trait: Murderous impulse]
[Climbers with this trait will gain 10x more experience points when gaining experience points through ‘Murder’.][Exclusive trait: Blood Price][Climbers with this trait will not be able to gain experience points through the Tower’s ‘Trial’.]
[Exclusive trait: Psychopath]
[Climbers with this trait ignore all top penalties due to ‘Murder’.]
Eugene muttered as he closed the window after checking the three characteristics he would gain by changing classes to this one.
“It’s the same class as Torai.”
Eugene, who had been expressing his honest feelings, frowned at the suggestion window that appeared once again.
“I won’t do it. I won’t do it.”
Serin, who was following Eugene’s reaction that seemed to be refusing the job, asked cautiously.
“Aren’t you going to do it?”
“It’s not a good class to begin with. It’s a prejudice to think that a hidden class is necessarily better than a regular class.”
“What class is it?”
“Murderer.”
When Eugene added that it was a class where you grow by killing climbers, not through the trials of the tower, Serin turned pale for no reason.
if…….
What if he chooses the Murderer class and starts hunting climbers in earnest?
“What are you doing? Just standing there blankly?”
“yes?”
Seorin, who was able to wake up from her reverie thanks to Eugene’s pulling, hurriedly followed behind.
“But what’s the penalty for murder?”
Eugene, who was trying to escape this place while leading Serin, asked about the characteristics he had just seen that he was curious about.
“Is this similar to the penalty that the person who broke the basic store got?”
Serin nodded to Eugene’s words and talked about the penalty for murder.
“It’s a little heavier than that.”
“be heavy?”
“Not only can you not use the store, but you can also trade between climbers using the community window, whispers, and guilds.
“The first thing is that actions are restricted.”
“If there is a second one,” Serin said with a short sigh.
“And the second is… you get ‘treated like an ordeal’ by other climbers.”
“trial?”
“That’s exactly what it is. When a Climber commits a murder, his name will appear in red above his head, and no penalty will be applied to the perpetrator even if he dies.” “Ah, that’s what it feels like.”
Eugene nodded as if he knew what it meant and asked the question that was on his mind.
“But, I didn’t have anything like that?”
Serin tilted her head at Eugene’s words and thought about all the climbers he had killed so far.
“Oh, in that case… it must be because it’s level 10.”
“Level 10?”
“There’s no penalty for killing at level 10 if you haven’t finished your previous job. I don’t know if it’s consideration for beginners or what.”
“Huh… … “That’s why there was a lot of talk in the early days of the tower. There were actually a lot of people who committed crimes.”
Serin’s expression was filled with bitterness as she added that such incidents have decreased considerably now.
“When you say there were a lot, does that mean it’s okay now?”
“That was the case, but looking at the current situation, it doesn’t seem to be the case.”
As Eugene listened to Serin’s voice coming from behind, a staircase leading down appeared before his eyes.
“Okay. Let’s put the old story aside for a moment. We need to get out of here quickly.”
Eugene stopped in front of the stairs and glanced back at the path he had taken.
The 3.5th floor, which had a similar structure to the top floor, was not a floor that could be called particularly challenging.
“There was a chance to advance to a hidden class, so I don’t think there are any separate trials… …
This 3.5th floor seemed like a floor where only former employees existed, just like the 5th floor.
“Do you see this trace?”
At Eugene’s words, Serin, who had discovered the traces in front of the stairs, asked back with an expression of confusion.
“Is there a knife mark?”
“It’s the same thing I saw on the 5th floor.”
Serin took on a serious expression as she recalled the bloody climber.
“Maybe we missed each other?”
“If you look at the order in which the traces were engraved, they wouldn’t have been mixed up. This one was engraved more recently.”
“This is it?”
“I have a feeling that I’ll be going down to see trials I haven’t seen here… Let’s go down for now.” As Eugene was going down with his eyes narrowed, he began to hear a ‘bang!’ sound in his ear.
This sound was definitely… the sound of steel clashing against steel.
“… Eww!”
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Save me!”
Not long after I started going down the stairs, people’s screams began to overlap.
“Hey… that sound?”
Serin also noticed the sound and followed Eugene down the stairs, shrugging her shoulders.
“I don’t think we’re at odds after all.”
As I followed Eugene down the stairs, the numbers on the windows that had been open in advance were updated.
[Current floor: 3rd floor]
3rd floor.
As she came down, Serin saw a sight of numerous climbers lying on the ground.
“this??????
Among those lying down, there were some who were still alive, groaning in pain from time to time.
“Eeeeek! Save me!”
An urgent voice was heard from not far away.
“Heeheehee!”
The level of the climber who was swinging the dagger indiscriminately in his hand was exactly level 20… no, level 22.
“Are you leveling up?” Serin, who witnessed the killer leveling up while swinging a knife, unconsciously stepped forward.
‘Stop it now!’
“???for a moment.”
Eugene was stopped by an arm stretched out to the side.
Dismissed!
Around Eugene’s arm, which was blocking Serin, small lightning bolts were fluttering due to his special ability.
“As I said above… …
Perhaps because it was the third floor, the killer was literally massacring the nearby civilians, most of whom were level 10.
“It was my job to beat up that kind of bastard.”
Considering that his traits were revealed from the 3.5th floor, he was not an opponent that Serin could stand against.
“okay……
The human enjoying the massacre right before my eyes was indeed the class of ‘murderer’ that I had glimpsed from the 3.5th floor, and the color of the eyes that I could see were not white.
“Is this a hidden class?”
When the red-haired boy noticed Eugene’s murderous intent and turned his eyes this way, the corners of Eugene’s mouth twitched.
“??? I’ll bite you and tear it apart.”
