I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 076
23. Finding Hidden Classes (2)
■What the heck!?
-re-re-
The lava bubbles boiled up.
[Current floor: 26th floor] The two people who left the 20th floor and went up to the 26th floor looked back at the deer following them… or to be exact, the World Tree attached to the deer.
〈Wow, why is it a place like this again… … .>
Perhaps because the heat felt hotter than what he had felt on the 18th floor, Rasil was unable to keep his composure.
“Because it’s a place like this.”
Eugene, who was looking around at Rasil’s words, noticed a rock that was dyed red.
This was a lava field. The heat that had continued from the desert was reaching its peak in the lava field on the 25th and 26th floors.
“If you can’t hold on, stick with it.”
As Eugene began to tease her, Rasil, who had been lying down, began to sob.
“I won’t go to the hero.”
“why?”
〈I like deer.〉
Rasil, who was sobbing once more, grabbed the deer’s fluffy fur.
The deer was moving relatively briskly in the lava zone thanks to the winter cloth it received from Mirami and her party.
“I don’t want to leave here.”
The reason she insisted on the deer’s forehead was because she knew that Eternal would take this spot the moment she left.
“Don’t be stubborn. Unless you’re going to cause trouble for her again.”
When Eugene, who had been snoring, glanced at Serin and spoke, Rasil puffed out her right cheek.
〈Wow, you’re so hot… … .〉 “It’s hotter here than down there… There’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to endure it this time, right?” The water that Serin had prepared was also starting to run out.
If the water I had in my inventory runs out, I don’t know if Rasil will go berserk like last time… so I had to prepare.
“If you have any difficulties, please let me know.”
〈Ms. Serin… … .>
“Well, I think I need to prepare myself mentally.”
〈Eww! I’m not that scary, am I?〉
Although Rasil was sobbing as if it was unfair, the power that Serin had experienced from Rasil was not something that could be laughed off lightly.
It is a trial of 98 floors.
It was a trial with powers that rivaled Eternal, so even if it was a short fight, it was considered a miracle that he survived.
〈Okay! Then I have a suggestion!〉
The small, green face, covered in sweat, seemed to shout, ‘I can’t give in anymore!’
〈Eternal, don’t let him sit here! This is my private seat!〉
As Eugene’s face began to distort at what Rasil said, Serin quickly intervened.
“I’ll try to talk as much as I can.”
〈As expected! There is no one else but Serin!〉
Rasil, who had been clasping her hands together with an ecstatic expression on her face, tilted her head while looking at Eugene.
〈Will you help me too, hero?〉
I knew that if I said ‘no’ here I would get tired, so I already had an answer in mind.
“I will try my best.”
〈Huh, uh!〉
It seemed as if hearing Eugene’s answer was her limit, as her small green body rose into two floats.
〈Mr. Deer, I’ll take a short break! Don’t leave me behind!〉
As his head became lighter, the deer looked up at Rasil, who was floating in the air, and twitched his black nose.
“Racil… Hello……
After the deer’s greeting, Rasil, who had turned green, moved towards Eugene’s shoulder.
It was the opposite direction of the shoulder where Eternal always appeared.
“In the first place, a deer’s forehead isn’t meant to be lying down.”
When Eugene grumbled as if he didn’t like it, Serin smiled awkwardly and answered.
“If you were to lie down while your body is small, you would definitely look happy. Fluffy.”
Serin, who was trying to stroke Deer’s forehead without realizing it, was still wary of herself.
I noticed the eyes doing that and took my hand away.
“sorry……
“So? Can I change my job to a blacksmith here?”
“Oh, yes.”
Serin turned her gaze away from the deer, glanced at the spacious lava cave, and quickened her pace.
“It should be around here.”
Serin, who had used black magic to repel the approaching flame lizards, the trial of that floor, entered through an unnoticeable side path.
Kang!
Kang!!
As she said, we were almost there, as the distant sound of hammering could be heard.
“after!”
After confirming that there were no climbers around, Serin pulled up the hood she had been wearing.
“What are the heat characteristics?”
When Eugene asked her worriedly after seeing her sweaty face, she confirmed her trait while straightening her hair that was stuck to her forehead.
[Characteristic: Heat resistance]
[Step 4]

[Your ability to resist status abnormalities related to heat increases. With an extremely low probability, you may receive additional effects when taking fire-type damage.]
She was training to resist the heat.
“Step 4.”
“If it’s level 4… is it a little more stuffy than a sauna?”
Eugene, who had already trained that trait to ‘transcendence’, shrugged his shoulders and asked.
“Isn’t it hard?”
“well?”
She took a bottle of water from her inventory, put it to her mouth, gulped, and answered.
“It’s worth doing.”
As we were talking about the characteristics, the sound of hammering came closer, indicating that we had arrived at our destination.
Shhh!
Noises that could easily be heard coming from the blacksmith shop were coming from there.
The place we set foot on, guided by the guide, was a hidden space on the 26th floor, called the Blacksmith Furnace.
“It’s here.”
As if possessed by a ghost, a large hammer stands alone on the edge of a lava cliff.
I was tapping on the moru attached to the wall. “It’s amazing. I didn’t know there was a floor like this.”
“You said you were a regressor… didn’t you know?”
When the guide asked with a sly smile, Yu Jin also slyly smiled and answered.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about floors below the 40th floor. The information I heard from my teacher was from the 40th to the 90th floor.”
Eugene, who had approached the smelter, asked while looking at the lump of iron that was regularly turning red.
“So? What do we do here?”
Seeing that there was no reaction when I touched the moru, I thought that some special method was needed.
I was curious, thinking that getting crushed by that hammer moving alone wouldn’t be the way to go.
Bang!
As the hammer struck the anvil once more, the deer watching from a distance flinched.
“We should go and find out quickly.” The guide agreed after confirming that the deer was scared.
It was important to develop heat characteristics, but it was not pleasant to sweat continuously.
“The method for becoming a blacksmith is simple. Just use that anvil to make a weapon.”
“weapon?”
“Yes. You have to make it yourself, not have someone else make it for you.”
Eugene looked half-doubtful as he recalled Philip swinging his hammer in front of the brazier.
“Will it be me?”
“Thanks to the blessing of the tower, the process won’t be that complicated. I brought the basic materials.”
Even if the weapon you were trying to craft was of a higher grade, it would only increase the chance of failure, so if you were only going to advance in class, it was clear that a simple, crude iron sword would suffice.
“You don’t need to be a blacksmith to craft weapons at the top. It’ll be possible.”
Serin took out a few materials from her inventory as if she had prepared them and handed them to Eugene.
“Heat the iron with lava, hit it with that hammer and make it into a sword… that’s it.”
Eugene, who had accepted the materials from Serin and acted as she had told him, frowned at the sound of ‘Kang!’
‘Is this okay?’
There were some things that were bothersome, but since I had come this far, I couldn’t go back without trying it.
[failure!]
[Equipment creation failed!]
All I did was pick up the iron with the tongs and place it where the hammer was going to strike.
That’s what happened… … .
The lump of iron that had been red-hot from the lava split in two like a cookie.
“uh?”
As the block of iron split in two with just the third blow of the hammer, Serin blinked.
“Hey, that’s strange? There shouldn’t have been any defects in the materials, right?”
“I know……
Even in Eugene’s eyes, the materials she had prepared for her blacksmithing career were of the highest quality.
“No more ingredients?”
“I brought another set just in case. However, the quality is a bit lower than the one I just gave you… …
“Just give it to me.”
Eugene, who had received the second iron sword crafting set from her, stood in front of the anvil once more.
Grab the iron with the tongs.
Heating iron in lava until it turns red-hot.
Put the iron on the floor of the anvil.
Just shape it with a hammer.
Since his physical abilities were so outstanding, the series of events was not that difficult for Eugene.
[failure!]
[Equipment creation failed.]
That’s what it was.
“Oh, another failure?” The scene that followed was enough to make Serin doubt her eyes.
“By any chance… do you have any blacksmith-related traits?”
“How could something like that exist!”
Eugene, unable to bear it any longer, shouted and checked his status window.
When I first heard about the method of changing jobs, I felt a chill down my spine. I knew it would turn out like this… This is what happened in the end.
[Luck: 10(-9,999)] It was already like that.
He was incapable of producing anything.
“Hey, Mr. Lee. Lucky bastard… …
When Eugene tightly closed his eyes and wiped away tears, Seorin could instinctively tell.
‘I guess I won’t be able to become a blacksmith.’
While Serin was muttering to herself, someone else muttered what was on her mind instead.
“… You can’t do it.” The black body that appeared from his shoulder was the owner of the voice.
〈Didn’t this body tell you that? It will work out, it won’t work out… . …
〈Hehehe, you won’t be able to do it. Do you know why? It’s because your personality is bad.〉
As Eternal chuckled, Eugene’s fist, which was holding the tongs for making the iron sword, began to shake.
“Throw away that hidden class that doesn’t even suit you. It won’t work even if you try for a hundred days.” Seo Rin, who noticed that someone was angry, shut her mouth and took a step back.
In times like these, the secret to living a long life is to remain silent rather than giggle.
