I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 096
28. The quarrel (3)
The deer is back.
Eternal is back.
“Eugene, I missed you.”
Eugene, who was stroking the deer’s fluffy fur, asked the evil spirit floating between its antlers a question.
“You came back unexpectedly quickly?” 〈That’s right… … .>
“You’re making a disgusted face… I guess you were just slacking off anyway, right?”
As Eugene frowned and urged her to answer, the white candlelight eyes slyly avoided Eugene’s gaze.
〈Khome.〉
“I came back from playing, this is it.”
Even though Eugene clicked his tongue, Eternal was unable to come up with a proper answer and just coughed in vain.
It seemed like a perfect fit.
Serin, who had been watching the two talking, cautiously intervened.
“Eternal is coming to play… Just hearing it, it seems like it’s not an ordinary floor.”
Eternal answered with a serious expression.
〈No, it was just more comfortable to spend time with the Master above than with this kid.〉
Eternal was also calling the teacher that Eugene mentioned as Master.
It felt somehow strange.
I wanted to meet the being that would call Trial Master… what kind of being would it be?
‘Was it the 97th floor?’
Serin, who had added the wish of ‘visiting the 97th floor’ to the top kit list she had kept in her heart, smiled awkwardly.
“Oh, that’s enough. Get out of there quickly.”
〈Come out?〉
“The deer came out from between the antlers. If you see La Sil sitting there, it will be 100% crowded… I can’t stand that sight.”
〈I don’t like it.〉
“what?”
“I like this seat too. I’m sorry, but I think it would be better for the wooden woman to give up this seat.”
Serin, who was watching the conversation between the two while updating her own top kit list, flinched at the thunderbolt that flashed through the air.
“Do you want to come out by force? Or do you just want to come out?”
〈I, I can be as dense as a tree woman! And that grassy swarm… It looks like it’s still resting?〉
“It’s a negotiation. I’ll go back to you before the wooden woman wakes up… Will that be okay?” Eugene sighed, covering his face with his right hand as if he was feeling dizzy.
“Eugene! Eugene!”
“huh?”
Eugene sighed and looked down at the deer rubbing its face below.
“Reply from above. Eunseol sent it.”
“It’s not Eunseol, it’s Eunseol.”
Eugene, who was able to relieve some of the stress he had received from Eternal thanks to his cute pronunciation, accepted the letter that Deer gave him.
‘It’s quite thick this time, huh?’
Eugene, who was estimating the thickness of the letter, became conscious of Seo Rin and asked for a favor.
“Would you like to kill some time? It’s not yet time for the trials, so why don’t you check out the bulletin board nearby?”
Serin tilted her head, wondering why the word ‘yet’ came out, and reluctantly answered.
“yes.”
As soon as Serin turned her back, Eugene hurriedly opened the envelope and checked the reply from above.
“You didn’t tell me anything else besides the letter?”
〈You know her personality well.〉
“Well, you’re the type of person who doesn’t express your thoughts directly, so… you probably only got a letter.”
The reply that came back was three pages.
[Eugene. The reply is short.]
Eugene wiggled his eyebrows as he checked the sentence written on the first line of the first chapter.
It’s so annoying… … .
It seemed like he was saying that he felt lonely being up there alone, so he wanted to tell more of his story.
[I thought you would send me interesting stories, but I was disappointed because all I got were boring stories.]
Eugene’s eyebrows twitched once more. ‘Master… That’s not an interesting story. It’s a letter I sent to ask for advice.’
Eugene, who had been grumbling inwardly, began to read the contents of the letter.
[I would like to give you advice on the hidden classes you are talking about, the ones you are looking for, the ones you can do… but unfortunately, there is not much I can advise you on since I am upstairs. There was no such thing as a hidden class back then.]
[I only know a few things about classes other than hidden classes.]
[First, I think I should explain a class I haven’t told you about before… It’s a class related to the tower.]
[In the round you were included in this time, the number of people summoned… uh, so… how many did you say? 300,000?]
Eugene muttered bitterly as he read the letter.
“One hundred thousand, Master.”
Reading the next line, it seemed that the number of people was not really important.
[Anyway, out of the 300,000 people summoned in this round that you are in… there is a class that only one can obtain.]
[I think it would be quicker for you to find out about that than the hidden class.]
[I also confirmed that you failed repeatedly in your previous job, so this might have something to do with it. You’re a special case, having started from the 100th floor.]
Eugene looked away from the letter for a moment and moved his finger to call out the window.
When I brought up the status window, a black window with the words ‘Top Class’ written on it appeared next to it.
“This is what you are talking about.”

If you think about what the answerer on the 44th floor said, ‘One is this and that, first place is this and that,’ then this was more likely to be it.
[Top class.]
As expected, the reply mentioned four familiar letters.
[The five basic classes are the levels of advancement… you said the fifth level? You can advance right there, and the hidden class you mentioned can be advanced right away if special conditions are met… but the top class is a little different.]
[You can think of it as a class that you can advance to after achieving a certain number or number of ‘bests’ at the top and being given the right to challenge, and you can only advance if you succeed in that challenge.]
[There was one top class person in the episode I was in. It wasn’t me though.]
[I’ve heard the story a few times while fighting that person, the conditions for successfully completing a top-class challenge are… … 』 One of the two ways to drive someone crazy… is to not say anything until the end.
“what?”
Eugene, who had actually experienced how to drive people crazy, muttered as he checked the blackened letter back and forth.
“Hey, where did the next part go?”
Eternal, who had been hanging down on the deer’s fluffy forehead fur, tilted his head.
〈What’s next?〉
“This.” Eugene asked, pointing to the discolored part of the letter with his finger. Okay, Ether Day again.
〈Ahem… … .>
He started to cough.
〈There’s nothing I can do about this. I have no choice but to go back up and see the Master to check the deleted content… Ugh, ugh!〉
“Hey, you damn evil spirit bastard.”
Eugene, who noticed that Eternal had been tampering with him, reached out between the deer’s antlers.
〈Okay, wait! Let me put this aside for now… I have something to say! That’s not what I did!〉
“No, it was really well-smeared.”
〈It is burnt, not rotten! This is not what this body did!〉
Eugene frowned as he checked the letter again as Eternal shouted desperately.
It was just as he said.
If an evil spirit had caused the paper to rot, it should have crumbled into ashes when Eugene touched it.
“Aren’t you the rotten fire?”
〈Can’t the flames of this body burn a single piece of paper?〉
〈억울하고, 원통하구나… 내가 어 느 X새끼도 아니고… 이 몸은 스승 님의 편지에 장난질을 쳐 놓을 만큼 나쁜 새끼가 아니란 말이다.〉
“It doesn’t even have a beak.”
“Ugh, ahhh… ….” Eugene, who had been poking the evil spirit’s white candlelight eyes with his finger, stared at the blackened area.
“If it weren’t for you, this… …
〈Isn’t that just ink smearing?〉
Why does ink smudge?
Unless you get wet with something… … .
“Hey, deer.”
The deer, whose little nose was twitching, met Eugene’s eyes.
“why?”
“By any chance, when you came down with the Master’s reply… how did you get it down?”
“Ask.”
“With your mouth?”
“eww “
‘?
Eugene’s eyes closed tightly at the bright and innocent answer.
〈Aren’t you going to scold me?〉
‘How can I scold him? I know.’
〈Crazy… … ?>
Eternal, who had been mumbling absentmindedly, added in a tone of resentment.
〈Then from today onwards, this body will also become a baby.〉
“Stop being so annoying. Just a little.”
Eugene, who had been chewing on the curses like Philip, sighed as he checked the blackened parts of the letter over and over again.
‘I guess there’s nothing I can do. It’s too cruel to send Deer on a long journey three times when his body hasn’t fully recovered… When Rasil wakes up and Deer’s body is fully recovered… then I’ll have no choice but to send him again.’
The deer, facing Eugene’s face, asked with a worried expression.
“Eugene, are you sick?”
“Huh? No… I’m just a little sleepy.”
“It’ll be evening soon.”
“I know.”
Eugene, who was petting the deer, looked up at the darkened sky on the 43.5th floor and looked for Serin.
“???Oh, did you check?”
“It was a letter I sent before I knew about Top Class, but it mentioned Top Class.”
“Really? Is this a trial where the Master can predict the future or something like that?”
“No, it was just a warrior class.”
“ah……
I asked Serin, who had an embarrassed expression on her face, about the information she had found out through her reply.
“Any clues?”
” doesn’t exist.”
“yes’?”
“In the important part, that deer… …
“Huh? Why me?”
Eugene met the eyes of the deer that tilted its head from behind and whispered something to Serin.
“The deer has spit on it.”
Serin once again.
“ah.”
Ah, he said, opening his mouth.
“Oh, I can’t help it.”
“That’s what happened.”
Eugene, who had already sighed a little while ago and decided not to get depressed again, asked in return.
“Were you looking at the bulletin board?”
“Yes, but… …
Serin, her eyes turned to the empty space, moved her fingers a few times and added.
“I think I’m starting to become famous.”
“Who? You?”
“I’m already famous. What I’m trying to say is… …
Serin, who didn’t even add, “You already know?”, pursed her lips.
“What is it?”
Eugene, who became suddenly curious about Serin’s reaction, moved his finger to open the community window and checked the bulletin board.
“It’s a trending post.” Eugene moved his fingers skillfully in response to Serin’s voice and checked the ‘trending post’ category.
[Hot topic bulletin board]
As Eugene ran his finger over the trending article, three familiar letters caught his eye at the very top.
[Today’s Hot Topic]
[Title: Bounty – Seon Yu-jin]
[Author: Joan Kaytu] The familiar name ‘Sun Yu-jin’ was written prominently at the top of the trending article.
“Is this me?”
“If there aren’t more than two Koreans named Seon Yu-jin in a tower with 100,000 people… then that’s probably true.”
“No, why… …
Before Eugene, who was grimacing in embarrassment, could finish speaking, a second topic came into view.
[Today’s Hot Topic]
[Title: Looking for Seon Yu-jin.]
[Author: Sirius Refilote]
The title of the second trending post also contained the same three letters as the first trending post.
“As for the second topic… …
When Eugene muttered, wondering if something was wrong, Serin answered cautiously.
“Yes. He’s the Field Guild guy we met earlier.”
