I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 054
16. Encounter (4)
Trait Eraser.
It was a potion that didn’t match the name of a school supply, but it was said to erase one of the climber’s characteristics.
“Where did you get this?”
“I told you, I went to the 18.5th floor.” Eugene shrugged and briefly explained the situation of the Black Rose Guild climbers he had met on the 18.5th floor.
“It seems like you’re having a hard time because of Eternal. It’s pitiful, but I really need this too.”
It was the item he needed to erase one of his most terrible traits.
“aha.”
Serin nodded and checked the item in Eugene’s hand. Seeing that it was still unused, she asked.
“You don’t drink right away?” If there was one trait that he wanted to erase so badly, it was that he knew how to drink right away.
“It’s not good to make any hasty decisions.”
The name of the trait Eugene wants to erase is a simple but terrible two-letter word.
[Characteristic: High-ranking official]
[Transcendent trait]
[Ignores all status effects ‘related’ to charm and seduction, and receives additional effects from skills that require mental concentration.]
Goja.
It was a trait that allowed one to unconditionally ignore mental status abnormalities.
“It’s a trait I don’t like, but it’s a trait that I would regret erasing in a fit of anger, so I’m going to hold off on erasing it for a bit longer.”
Seo Rin, who had been nodding to Eugene’s explanation, suddenly raised her right hand and covered her ear.
“wait a minute.”
The ring on her finger gave off a silvery light.
‘Is that a whisper?’
As I had heard from Albert in the Ant’s Nest, the ring she was wearing seemed to be a piece of jewelry that allowed her to use whispering.
“???sorry.”
When Serin, who had been covering her ears, suddenly apologized, Eugene asked her why she was apologizing.
“why?”
“Well, it was hard to meet you again… I think I should go upstairs for a bit.”
“consolation?”
“I heard something happened on the 40th floor, so I thought I might be needed.”
Seeing her biting her lip as if she was upset while talking, Eugene immediately replied that it was okay.
“It’s okay. I made you wait for three months too.”
Since you even gave me a chestnut on my pale forehead, I had nothing to be upset about anymore.
Of course.
If I had to pick just one thing, it would be that he silently wears two or three rings on his fingers.
“Could you please wait on the 20th floor? I’ll take care of it in a jiffy and come back down.”
When Serin asked for a favor in an earnest voice, Eugene asked back as if he couldn’t understand why she was asking for something like that.
“Can’t we just go up together? Since it’s the 40th floor, we can come and go freely anyway?”
Serin opened her inventory and took out a scroll with the number ’40’ written on it.
[40th floor return scroll]
[Rank: Ray
[consumption]
[A magic scroll that can return you to the 40th floor. When used, you will be taken to the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
The scroll she showed me was only one page.
“sorry.”
The face, flushed red with a different feeling than before, was unable to look straight ahead.
“I will finish this job completely and return to being a guide.”
Eugene let out a sigh at the desperate voice and scratched the back of his head as he asked.
“How long does it take?”
” day??????
Serin, who had answered in a voice the size of an ant, added in an even smaller voice as if that wasn’t enough.
“No, two or three days… …
Of course he was upset, but Eugene knew that he couldn’t openly criticize her.
It was because she too must have been active in the tower in her own way during the three months that Eugene was away.
“ha.”
Eugene took a short breath and began to speak.
“Have a nice trip.”
As soon as permission was granted, Serin, who had been looking down, lifted her face with difficulty.
“It’s ironic because our positions have been reversed, but I guess I should let you go.”
Eugene, who was messing with the back of his head, glanced at the ring she was wearing.
I was a bit concerned.
The ring has been shining softly since a while ago, as if the whispers haven’t stopped.
“??? You’re not abandoning me, are you?”
I thought it was shameless to say it myself, but I couldn’t take back the words that had already come out of my mouth.
“No way… …
Serin, who had been placing her hands on her chest as if praying, spoke softly.
“Isn’t it better for a breakup to be short?”
The blushing girl moved her hands, which had been clasped to her chest, behind her back, along with the words someone had said three months ago.

“I’ll be right back. Please wait a moment on the 20th floor.”
When the girl carrying the backpack smiled innocently, Eugene, who was facing her, couldn’t hold back his laughter.
‘I got hit in the head.’
The girl warned quietly, slowly tearing the scroll hidden behind her back.
“??? You can’t run away?”
“Have a nice trip.”
Soon the scroll completely tore off and the ground beneath her feet flashed with light, carrying her to the 40th floor.
“Where did you go? Where did the reward go!!”
Inside the pyramid reward room, the leader of Black Rose was screaming, “Squeak! Squeak!”
“Eww! Where did you go?”
He was scratching his body as if in pain, and black fluid was flowing out from various parts of his body.
“That, that… I think someone already took it.”
“Take it?”
“If the reward box is open and there is nothing inside… that is a high probability.”
The leader of Black Rose avoided eye contact with Jang Min’s wide-open eyes.
“어떤, 어떤 개새끼가……
He was holding his trembling body tightly, as if pain was more prevalent than anger.
That was fortunate.
If the power of the poison he possessed had been just a little bit less, the subordinate who reported that the reward had been stolen would have certainly been decapitated.
“Leader, I think… it’s that woman’s doing.”
“That girl?”
“I saw on the bulletin board that they showed up on the 17th and 19th floors today.”
There weren’t many climbers called ‘that bitch’ in Black Rose. Of them, there was one climber who was the most concerned… With nearly half a year left until the cataclysm, the climber called ‘that bitch’ that Black Rose was wary of on the rapidly changing tower.
“Hanserin… …
She was once a black magician known as the ‘Black Princess’ of the guild.
“That girl… dared… run away with my antidote?”
He clenched his teeth so hard that black blood flowed out between his lips.
〈Ugh, what is it? What is it?〉
Rasil, who had been lying face down until the snow disappeared, revealed a face full of excitement.
〈What is that? That sweet feeling just now?〉
As Rasil crossed his index fingers and gave him a secret look, Eugene sighed and answered.
“I’m sorry to break your expectations, but I don’t have any of that rosy feeling you want.”
Rasil, whose eyes had been sparkling brightly, quickly took on a sullen expression at Eugene’s answer.
Then Rasil sighed and the tower went down.
“I lost my emotions.”
After Rasil spoke, there was an awkward silence for a moment.
<… … .>
Not even ten seconds later, Rasil muttered faintly.
〈???You little bastard.〉 “Hey.”
Eugene glared at Rasil.
I heard it all.
I said it so that you could hear it clearly.
〈No, what if you got a potion that erases traits? Drink that! If you drink it, you’ll be able to see the eggs right away!〉
“no.”
〈Oh, why?〉
Eugene sighed again as Rasil whined and shook his clenched fist up and down.
“Goja… No, you know very well how important the trait called charm immunity is, right?”
〈I said that because your emotions are dead, right?〉
“Well, I want to fix my lower body that’s become disabled! But I also don’t want to give up my charm immunity…
This trait wasn’t just some horrible trait that made him lose interest in women.
It was a characteristic of the transcendent stage.
It was a literal transcendent trait that not only chewed up all mental status abnormalities, but also provided additional effects when using skills that required concentration.
“Ugh, it was because of this trait that I was able to avoid the killer class near the ant hole.”
Get out of here!
It was the top kit list that I wanted to solve the most, but found the most difficult to solve.
“Damn, that fucking tower!”
Eugene closed his eyes tightly.
“Damn, damn! I wanted to erase it so badly when I was up there! But now that I’m actually trying to erase it… It’s a shame!” Another voice began to ring in Eugene’s head as he was crying.
〈…Hehehe, that kid with crazy performance.〉
It was the voice of an evil spirit that had met us on the top floor and come down together.
〈That’s right. Pink for a worst-case scenario like you? It’s a very unsuitable color.〉
Eugene turned his head at the eerie aura he felt from his shoulder and met Eternal’s eyes.
“Are you awake now?” “Someone was giving off such a foul odor that I couldn’t sleep at all.”
〈Hey, that disgusting smell?〉
‘Ah. Here we go again.’
A photo of Serin covering her face with both hands because she forgot to attach either Rasil or Eternal to it.
〈Put your hands down. Someone is coming.〉
As Eternal began to speak, Eugene lowered his hand and looked back.
Beyond the sand dunes, three towering figures I had seen before were walking towards me.
“Eugene waved his hand as he watched Mirami walking ahead of him. After reading her expression, Eugene spoke first.
“Don’t worry. We knew each other.”
“Me, really?”
“Thank goodness… …
Drod, who had been hiding behind Gabe, let out a sigh of relief.
“Still, I’m sorry. In the end, I couldn’t keep my promise.”
As Mirami lowered her head as if embarrassed, Gabga stepped forward and said, “Mirami did nothing wrong. I was just trying to hide my pet until the end.”
Eugene blinked at Gabga’s explanation and looked at Mirami, who apologized again.
“Because in the end I couldn’t stop it. But what was wrong was wrong.”
I had expected that it would be safe since Rasil was there, but I didn’t expect three people to guard the deer.
“An apology once is enough.”
Eugene smiled and replied that there was no need to apologize twice, then remembered Serin’s request.
“Excuse me, could you do me one favor?”
“Please?”
“I was wondering if you knew anything about the 20th floor. If you have any information, I’d like to hear it.”
The three people exchanged glances in silence at Eugene’s words and nodded in response.
“Yes, I know.”
“It’s not that I don’t know, but we’re currently living on the 20th floor.”
Mirami asked.
“Would you like to go to the 20th floor?”
“yes.”
Eugene nodded.
