I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 073
22. Cataclysm (2)
Early morning.
Eugene, sitting on the fence in front of the 20th floor inn, was checking his letters using the light of the dawn.
I sent twenty letters, but received only one in reply.
[I received your letter.]
[-Eunseol]
Eugene, who was checking the short reply, smiled bitterly after checking the front and back of the letter.
“That’s very teacher-like.”
I asked him a few questions about why he couldn’t change jobs, why the answerer didn’t give me a proper answer, and this is the answer I got back…
It was so like her.
Even when we spent time together upstairs, he only responded mechanically, so it wasn’t unexpected.
“Please give me a hint.”
She would probably have some helpful advice for the situation… but her reply was so short.
“No. Since you are my teacher… I might have just forgotten to tell you and sent you this.”
By now, I thought someone up there would be mumbling to himself something like, ‘Oh, I forgot.’
“Well, I found out the information about the seasonal layers and the deer by asking them directly… This time, instead of just saying hello, I should have asked for help outright.”
Eugene, who decided to send the deer up one more time, was folding the reply in half when the inn door creaked.
“Are you awake?”
“??? A little bit.”
A girl with her messy hair hanging down came out of the inn.
Whether it was insomnia or something, the girl’s pale face was covered in circles even after waking up from a night’s sleep.
“Erase that and tell me.”
Even at first glance, the dark circles under his eyes were impressive, and they were still there.
“What?”
“Under the eyes.”
“ah.”
The girl smiled awkwardly and answered, perhaps aware that the area under her eyes looked tired.
“Still, I think I slept more soundly than usual.”
It wasn’t a lie.
She always had nightmares when she went to sleep, but today she didn’t have any nightmares, perhaps because someone was guarding the front of the inn.
“I’m back again today.”
The girl smiled and continued speaking as the morning sunlight tickled her face.
[guide]
[Level: 67]
A level 67 warlock announced his reinstatement while carrying a backpack.
“Where should I take you?”
Eugene, who had lifted his butt off the fence he was sitting on, asked the deer standing next to him while patting its head.
“Can I skip breakfast?”
“I’m fine… Shall we have brunch?”
“Not bad.”
Eugene, who had a set amount of work to do today, turned toward the workshop and continued speaking.
“I decided to eat slowly, so I can eat it with the eccentric teacher.” Serin tilted her head. “The eccentric teacher?” The workshop, a corner seat.
Two customers visited the store of a creator who was called a weirdo.
The guide, who had been following Yu Jin with three sandwiches in hand, was sweating profusely and keeping an eye out.
“What is this customer?”
Philip, who had been delighted by Eugene’s visit, frowned when he noticed the guide following him.
[guide]
This was because I got to witness in real life the climber who was famous for many things: the supernova of the tower, the pinnacle of the current magicians, the puppy ears, and the mercenary of the gift guild.
“Aren’t you a famous person at the top?”
Philip narrowed his eyes at the unexpected appearance of a celebrity and suddenly stretched out his arm.
“… So that’s why?”
“What is it?”
Eugene, who was pulled by Philip, tilted his head at the whispering voice.
“So that’s why you asked?”
Eugene remembered asking Philip about the guide and answered with an ‘Ahhh’ sound.
“To what extent?”
“Ha!” Philip sighed and muttered as he glanced at the guide standing awkwardly at the entrance.
“It was a woman?”
Unlike usual, he had his hood off, revealing his bare face.
“Yes.”
“It was Han Seo-rin?”
Eugene’s lips closed at the name he added.
The name Han Seo-rin is also known to be a bad name in the top…
Because I knew.
‘Ugh, that scary girl… If only she hadn’t killed her parents, she would have been at the top of the dark magic ranks alongside the guide.’
I remembered Philip muttering in a regretful tone.
“Somehow, I feel betrayed. I didn’t know they were the same person.”

Philip let go of the arm that had been pulling Eugene and let out a small growl.
“If you knew this when I was explaining to you about her, you would have thought I was a total idiot, right?”
Eugene answered with a serious expression.
“no.”
It hadn’t occurred to me that Philip might have known Han Seo-rin’s face.
‘He doesn’t seem to know…
When she saw the expression on the face of the guide waiting outside, it seemed like this was the first time she was seeing him.
“If you didn’t think I was a retard, you would have told me.”
Eugene frowned as Philip growled.
“I thought you were weird, but I never thought you were an idiot. If I had, I wouldn’t have stood in front of Baldwin or Goldwyn and started talking about sponsors.”
“And I’m sorry, but there was no reason for me to tell you about the guide. If you want to keep your identity a secret, then I’m going to go around telling everyone about it… What would that make me?”
As Eugene’s gaze grew fierce, Philip retorted with a frown.
“No matter what… he killed his own mother… …
“I don’t think so.”
Eugene cut off Philip’s rebuttal midway.
“I don’t think like that, so I do it together. It’s similar to the reason I came to this store even though there were rumors about weirdos and beggars in the workshop.” He was the type who met people in person and made judgments.
“I decide who I will keep by my side.”
Then, Eugene let out a short sigh and muttered while placing his fist on his hip.
“I don’t know what happened between you and him in the past, but he’s not Mr. Philip’s guest. He’s the one who’s hanging around, and I’m the guest.”
It was exactly as he said.
The guide only followed Eugene, and she was not the customer who came to the store.
“Philip, who was about to refute Ha Yu-jin’s words, waved his hand as if he was afraid and began to speak.
“Okay, whatever you want, do whatever you want.”
Not only did he save me from being a rag to a ranker, but he also lent me materials I would never be able to use again… I couldn’t complain.
“Come in.”
After receiving Philip’s permission, Eugene looked back outside the store and gestured.
“Oh, yes.”
Serin, who had been standing awkwardly, cautiously entered Philip’s store.
“Excuse me… Did I do something wrong?”
The girl who came in cautiously watched Philip and whispered to Eugene.
“Have we met before?”
When Eugene asked a small question, Serin shook her head slightly and answered.
“Um… no, it’s the first time I’ve seen you today… …
Serin bit her lower lip and looked anxious, knowing that no matter how much she looked at it, it was someone she didn’t remember.
“Can I ask you something? If I did something wrong, I should apologize.”
Eugene replied that there was no need for that.
“If you really did something wrong, and I owe you an apology… then you should tell me yourself.”
Philip, who had briefly stepped away from the stove to get something out, returned to his seat.
“Okay, stuff.”
Philip, who had been stealing a glance at Serin, held out an object wrapped in a white bandage.
“He’s a nice guy, right?”
“Of course. I can guarantee you that it is a masterpiece. I can bet my whole life on it.”
Philip patted his chest and showed off his weapon, seemingly ignoring Serin.
“Is that… a sickle?”
Serin carefully asked after checking the shape of the bandage.
I heard that he had entrusted the workshop with making weapons, but I didn’t hear what kind of weapons they were.
“that’s right.”
Philip answered indifferently.
“It’s pretty big, isn’t it?”
As Eugene muttered while lifting a scythe as big as his body, Philip answered with a sly grin this time.
“Since I hit all of that, it’s bound to be big.”
“home!”
“You won’t have any trouble holding and swinging it, right? You’re confident in your strength, right?”
“Yes, well… …
Once with both hands, once with one hand… Eugene moved the bandaged sickle as if lifting a dumbbell and reached out to the bandage.
Srrrr’
Even the bandage wrapped around it was of good quality, and the sound of the blade being exposed was smooth.
[Seon Yu-jin’s Scythe (Customized)]
[Rank: ???] As the bandage came off, a window displaying the name of the item appeared before Eugene’s eyes.
“No, why my name……
“Well, it’s for the guests to use.”
Eugene, who felt a strange sense of shame at the name of the weapon, checked the options that had not been confirmed yet.
[weapon]
[This is a scythe made by the creator, Philip, by melting down the ‘Ajidahaka’s Claws’ and ‘Repaying Steel’. Only special beings chosen by the eccentric can use it.]
[Wearing Condition: Level 10]
[Wearing Conditions: Climber, Seon Yujin]
[Repaying Steel: Abilities are determined by the number of ‘trait’s’ possessed by the wearer.]
[Ajidahaka’s Black: Grants the wearer enormous ‘evil’ attributes, but reduces the healing and buff effects of ‘good’ attributes.]
［You can use the exclusive skill ‘Trait Harvest’］
[Customization: This is a custom-made product.] Yujin, who was checking the vertically elongated options, asked about the part that concerned her.
“The rating is a question mark?”
“That’s true. The ability value is determined based on the number of characteristics of the person wearing it.”
“Well, I’ve heard about the wearing conditions and options before, so even so… …
Eugene, who was holding a scythe in his hand, checked the item’s exclusive skill.
[Characteristic Harvest]
[Seon Yu-jin’s Scythe Exclusive Skill]
[Specify a random trait, and that trait will be unavailable for 10 hours.]
[The next hit deals ‘additional damage’ equal to the level and number of the unusable trait.]
Eugene, who was carefully examining the scythe, walked towards the wall of the store.
‘Shall we try it?’
The scythe handle held in the right hand is on the shoulder
Eugene, who had been pulled up, lightly drew a line on the wall.
“Hey! What are you doing… …
Philip, who was startled by Eugene’s actions, held his breath at the cold wind tickling the tip of his nose.
[Currently held characteristics]
[Total: 304]
In the corner wall of Philip’s shop, a sharp, diagonal hole appeared.
