I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 036
12. I had something to ask (1)
[Title: About level restrictions?]
[Author: Seon Yu-jin]
[Please tell me how to wear equipment that doesn’t match my level.
］I got some useful equipment, but I can’t use it because of the level restriction.
[Comments (14)]
[Is this really true?]
[It’s already been half a year, but there are still people asking this.]
[You seem to be Korean… Isn’t that a gaming powerhouse? Have you never played games outside of the top? There’s no way that’s possible, right?]
[What on earth was he doing during the tutorial with Answerer?]
[Haa! To think that even a child like this could be summoned as a possibility…….]
[*No, but there might be a way. Why are you all so aggressive?]
[Well, after some time, such a method may be found. But as of now, it would be correct to say that there is no method.]
[*Oh, I see. Thank you. You are a very kind person.]
[What is the level restriction for the item you are considering?]
[*Uh huh… Level 200?]
[*Why are you like that?]
[What is your current level?]
[*Level 10.]
1. Proof.
Ant hole.
As we heard above, there were as many civilians living here as there were on the 10th floor.
However, it gave off a completely different vibe from the civilians I saw on the 10th floor.
“Most of them are under level 10… There are a lot of level 1s and 2s in particular.”
Everything was different, from the clothes people were wearing to the atmosphere they gave off.
If the atmosphere on the 10th floor was bright, the atmosphere here was dark.
It was a place where mostly level 1 and 2 civilians gathered… people who had given up on climbing the tower early on as the guide had told them.
“Actually, this is my first time coming down here in two years.” When the guide said that it was also his first time coming back here, Eugene shrugged.
“Judging from the reactions, I had a feeling that would be the case.”
“Yes. I didn’t know there were this many people left.”
Among the civilians seen were some holding newborn babies in their arms.
It was like a child born from a tower.
It had already been two years since this place was built, clearly more than enough time for new life to be born.
“I didn’t know there were people who raised their families like that. I thought all those people lived on the 10th floor… …
“why?”
“If you have children, the 10th floor would be a better place to raise them. It’s… dark here.”
As Serin muttered quietly, Eugene responded quietly in response.
“Everyone has their own story. Like unavoidable circumstances that prevent them from going to the 10th floor.”
Serin answered a little late.
“… That’s right.”
The civilians of the anthill, who noticed the guests’ visit, started whispering while looking at the two people.
“What the heck?”
“Are those people also from above?”
“Looking at the equipment… it seems right?”
“Ugh, I’m sick of this!”
“Who will you take with you this time?”
From what I heard going back and forth, it seemed like the Field Guild people had come all the way here.
“What did they want here? They already had enough priests.
Yoo Jin shrugged as he looked around at the civilians in the ant hole.
“Could that be?”
In fact, that was the most likely answer, but somehow I had a feeling that it wasn’t the right answer.
“Maybe I got something more special than a priest or something.”
“What’s more special?”
“What we saw was a hidden class of killers that had never been revealed on the bulletin board. If what Mr. Albert said was true, they must have been there too.
going to be.”
There was one part that Eugene found most suspicious.
“But why did you take off your butt?”
When Eugene looked at the guide and asked, the guide tilted his head as if he didn’t know.
“They said that the ones who came down were the rankers of that guild. The atmosphere was ominous, but they were around level 20… Did the rankers flee the place in fear of seeing civilians being massacred?”
“Um… You’re not avoiding poop because you’re scared of it, are you? You’re avoiding it because it’s dirty?”
“No.”
Eugene continued speaking in denial.
“If it were me, I would have captured him.”
“Captured?”
Eugene narrowed his eyes as he recalled the moment when he was fighting the murderer.
“It’s a class that shouldn’t increase in number, but it would be quite tempting for those who are dragging civilians in to change jobs because they don’t have enough priests.”
There must have been other information that could have been obtained, such as how to become a killer, exclusive skills, exclusive traits, exclusive equipment… but they didn’t even bother to look at it, as if they weren’t interested in it.

“Maybe I knew about that class in advance?”
“If we knew, we should have killed or captured them even more. Information can be used more usefully when it is monopolized.”
Some of the civilians who were able to survive thanks to Eugene and Serin were spreading stories about the killer through the bulletin board in the tower.
“I’m a bit worried. What if other people are trying to transfer to that class… …
The place you have to go to in order to change to a murderer is the 3.5th floor.
It was fortunate that I didn’t even know how to enter or how to change jobs.
“Well, if someone who has experienced it indirectly were to infer the conditions of a previous job, the first would be ‘a climber who has experienced murder’ and the second would be ‘a climber who has not changed jobs’.”
“Hmm? Is there a reason why you think so?”
“When I went down to the 3.5th floor… a window popped up asking if I wanted to change jobs, but that window didn’t pop up for you.”
“ah.”
“I took a quick look on the way down, but I haven’t found anyone who meets both of these criteria yet, so you don’t have to worry too much about that.”
As Eugene muttered while looking through the ant hole, Serin let out a sigh of relief.
“Isn’t something strange? Something about the Drug Guild, something about the Field Guild… The atmosphere at the top is strange. It’s changing.”
Serin, who was looking at Eugene who was mumbling, tried to say something but held it back.
“… yes.”
“why?”
“No. Nothing.”
“Well, yeah… I guess… I’m definitely contributing to this strange atmosphere.”
“I didn’t say anything?”
“I told you with my expression?” As Serin lowered her head to hide her face, Eugene patted Guide on the shoulder as if it was a joke.
“Is that it?”
At some point, the gazes of the civilians in the anthill began to decrease one by one.
How far had I walked since coming down to the first floor? I saw a wide open space where Eugene was pointing.
This place, called the Ant Hole because the stage is inside a large cave, is a spacious open space where all climbers first encounter the air of the tower.
“It’s a new experience.”
“I guess that’s right.”
Eugene muttered softly in response to Serin’s reaction and looked ahead with a strange expression.
“I miss you… …
“yes?”
“No, I was just saying.”
Eugene, who had been hastily adding because he was afraid of Seorin’s nagging, had a sad expression on his face.
What the heck do I miss… … .
The guide said that this was where all clairvoyance began, but it was the first time he had seen it.
“Somehow, I felt like I should also follow that tone.”
“Oh, yes… …
The compassionate gaze was rather stinging.
“Khome! Anyway!”
Eugene, who had been coughing for no reason, began to look around.
“Let’s see, if everything goes according to plan, there should be stairs leading down to the practice floor somewhere here?” As Eugene started to look for the stairs, Serin grabbed the hand that was on her back.
I wish there were no stairs.
Because that’s what I was thinking in my heart.
“Can you see the stairs?”
Serin, who had been looking away to hide her expression at Eugene’s question, shook her head.
“I can’t see it here.”
“Hmm, is there nothing here?”
Eugene, who was looking in the direction where Serin was, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
“uh?”
At the voice that seemed to have discovered something, Seo Rin’s heart sank.
“There it is! Stairs!”
Serin blinked several times as she looked at where Eugene was pointing with his finger.
All you can see is the brown cave floor… … .
She didn’t find the stairs he was talking about.
“Can you see it?” Eugene asked.
“no.”
Serin answered as calmly as possible.
“I can’t see anything.”
“okay?”
“Maybe it’s because you came down from the 100th floor?”
He was special.
So it seemed like it would turn out like this.
I wanted to go down to the practice floor with you, but for some reason I had a feeling it would end up like this.
“Then… I guess this is it.”
“Up to here? What?”
Eugene, who noticed the sadness that she had not been able to hide, snickered.
“Hey, you said you could come and go downstairs as you pleased? I’m just going to ask Answerer a few questions and then come back up. Why are you already feeling upset?”
“You never know, what if you go down the stairs and something happens on the basement floor? Oh, I don’t even want to think about it.”
Seorin lowered her head, unable to face Eugene’s smiling face.
alone…….
Alone again… … .
I felt like I had to endure that loneliness again, something I knew deep down in my bones.
So I wanted to cry and throw a tantrum like a little child.
“… You have to go, right?”
” hmm?”
“If I go down… and this time I clear the tower and get summoned out of the tower… then I’ll be alone again.”
Eugene, who had withdrawn his smile, looked at Serin with a serious expression.
“From the 100th floor to the 0th floor… For an ordinary climber, it would be like completing the tower. So… …
As the girl lifted her face and whispered, the tears hanging from her eyes fell away.
“If you go down those stairs, it seems like you’ll never come back.” The small hands that had already let go of the luggage were trembling, clenching it tightly.
“I wish you wouldn’t come down.”
It was selfish of me to recommend this method to him who wanted to change his job, and then tell him that I wish he hadn’t done it.
“How selfish.”
Eugene answered.
“Yeah. That’s how you have to live on the tower.”
When Eugene, who had praised her, spoke as if he was not going to go down, the girl stuttered.
“Well, then?”
“Of course I’ll go down.”
Eugene’s lips curled into a smile again.
” devil??????
It was like the devil.
I had completely forgotten until now that this person was a ‘demon’ summoned from the worst summoning scroll.
“Devil? Hey, if you keep saying that, won’t it come up again?”
“I’ll say it again, I’ll be back on track. There are still a lot of top kits I haven’t done yet.”
Eugene grumbled as he took a step closer to Serin.
“I haven’t even picked the mulberries yet.”
“Mulberry… right?”
“I just hired a guide, but I need to keep him for another year.”
Serin, who almost burst into laughter without realizing it, looked at her employer with a displeased expression.
“Do you know that that guy is more evil than the restaurant owner I saw on the 10th floor?”
Eugene turned around, answering with a snicker.
“Well, it’s better if the breakup is short.”
Serin barely managed to answer.
“???yes.”
okay.
If it was the worst demon, it seemed like it would somehow return here even if it was summoned out of the tower.
“I’m going and coming back.”
“Have a quick trip.”
So I made up my mind.
I wanted to dare to be sure that this would not be a permanent separation.
No, I could be sure.
So, she decided not to hold on to him any longer and let him go.
Before any regrets remain.
Maybe it was already gone… but I waved my hand gently and saw it off.
“Wait here for a moment.”
Eugene, with an indifferent expression, also slowly raised his right hand… no, his fist. “Don’t jump?”
At that sight, Serin burst into laughter without realizing it.
The fact that he was walking down the stairs was quite bizarre also contributed to her laughter.
Like a ghost under the cave floor.
His figure, which had been slowly disappearing from his legs, lower body, waist, upper body, and shoulders, finally disappeared completely with his head and fist.
[Current floor: Practice floor] I’m back.
As the beginning of the tower.
Into a black room where only voices and stairs exist.
“I miss this place.”
Unlike the first floor, which I had never seen before, the practice floor was a place I had seen in my dreams several times, so I was somewhat familiar with it.
Eugene, who discovered the ‘downward stairs’ here, had the misfortune of starting the tower from the 100th floor.
‘Back then… if only I had found a staircase that went up normally… … As Eugene muttered to himself, a voice began to be heard.
I focused on the voice that was directly in my head, and the voice immediately introduced itself.
“My name is Answerer. I am the answering being who exists for the humanity summoned to the Tower of Trials.”
As I said back then, the voice introduced itself without a single mistake, “Answer Geun: I?” I called out in a voice that made me want to grab it by the collar if it had any substance, and the voice answered.
“Do you know me?”
As Eugene asked cautiously, a voice answered.
〈Nice to meet you again, human Seon Yu-jin.〉
Eugene, who held his breath without realizing it at the voice’s answer, immediately asked the main point.
“If you are a being that can answer, then you can answer, right? Why did I… start from the 100th floor?”
It’s been a long time since I’ve gritted my teeth while asking a question.
The pain I had suffered because I started from the 100th floor, the misfortunes I had to watch, the countless grievances… I felt like I had to get compensation for everything here to feel better.
〈Human Seon Yu-jin.〉
After a short pause, a voice called his name.
Eugene, who had not yet heard the answer to his question, held off on answering and waited for the next words.
〈This is a duplicate question.〉
“???what?”
〈I cannot answer that question because it has already been ‘answered’.〉
