Closed Beta I Played Alone

42 episodes. Meeting (1).

“The pouring hail!”

poop. poop poop.

I used the linkage of hail that was pouring over the area where the ice field was spread out.

And enduring those two, he poured the rest of his skills into the approaching swamp monsters.

"Multiple Ice Arrows, Ice Balls, Ice Bolts."

puck! puck! puck!

Of course, there is one more.

Ice blasting boasts the perfect compatibility with the ice field.

However, it was not used because there was no need to fight by destroying the ice field laid out deliberately to avoid the muddy swamp.

The fact that it was possible to hunt enough without using an ice blast also played a big part.

Moreover, the effect produced by just keeping the ice field still was better than expected.

Because the body of a swamp monster is none other than the swamp itself.

But my ice field separated the swamp monster from the swamp.

That is to say.

pop! pop!

“Kooek!”

“Ugh!”

The body of the swamp monster exploded.

Every time my pouring hail and burst of ice arrows, ice balls, and ice bolts pierce the swamp monster's body.

And the swamp monster, which is characterized by maintaining tough vitality by absorbing the swamp like a leech, died as it was because it was blocked by the ice field and could not absorb the swamp.

I can't use a power like the last strike once.

Of course, if my ice field had been weak, it would have been forcibly broken down to withstand the attacks of the swamp monsters.

As such, some swamp monsters attacked the ice field itself rather than attacked me.

Of course to break it.

But my ice field didn't nod.

fuck.

Hunting must be fun.

Moreover, not all of this has been calculated.

However, since there are no people, I can only run wildly.

And the message that doubled the pride often rang out.

[Level has risen.]

“Heh heh.”

It didn't stop with a smile, but also a smile.

Even if you do something that you like and have fun doing, it's like being praised for doing well and being encouraged to work harder.

So I smiled and ran further.

To give strength as much as you are encouraged.

of course.

“Ice Field!”

He used the ice field in all directions even though there was no swamp monster with a return cooldown.

Because my feet are precious.

2 days later.

"Multiple Ice Arrows, Ice Balls, Ice Bolts."

Separated from the swamp area by an ice field, he delivered a final attack against a few swamp monsters that barely survived the pouring hail.

pop! pop!

“Kooek!”

“Ugh!”

[Level has risen.]

A message that the level has risen, which is always pleasant to listen to.

And another message rang.

More precisely, an alarm sound.

[It is 1:00 in the morning.]

"Phew. Well, I got to level 1. Check the status window.”

[Name: lumen

Level: 174

Number of kills: 11, Number of deaths: 0

Title: I alone, a max level player, and 3 others.

Strength 40, Agility 40, Intellect 80 increased with the Ring and Earrings of the Scorpion King changed to 3 enhancement.

And up to the set effect of all stat points of 20 due to wearing two.

It didn't look that big back then.

But when I wore it like this, it looked bigger in its own way.

First of all, the increase of 100 intellect is definitely leaving everything else.

“By the way, the quest of the Scorpion King rose to level 156, so did the total level rise to 18 in 2 days?”

About 9 levels per day.

It was satisfying in its own way.

According to this calculation, no matter how much the level goes up, the experience required increases, it is possible to achieve level 200 in about 3 days.

“Oh, isn’t it?”

Tomorrow is the day I go home.

And I was told in advance.

In the evening, there is a business meeting and party at the hotel, so I ask you to attend too.

So I told him to go home a little early.

to decorate.

Anyway, all 180 stats were invested in intelligence.

I smiled at the intelligence level that exceeded 5000.

And immediately walked away.

I need to sleep now so I can play a fun game even for a little while before going home tomorrow.

“Ice Field.”

Of course, the way back was also an ice field, and for me, if I made a more beautiful road than any other flower road, it moved.

“Falling hail, ice arrows, ice balls, ice bolts.”

He often overuses other ice-based skills against the swamp monsters that attack him.

And as the safety zone of this swampy swamp got closer, I took off the +3 Saidin boots and changed into the ugly boots I bought here.

bum bum.

“Hey. You look like a sword today.”

The man who forced me to buy boots for 70,000 gold.

The man has been pretending to know him like yesterday.

"Yes. It's past 1 am now."

“By the way, aren’t those boots pretty useful?”

“It’s up to you.”

Not even a funny question.

However, I had no intention of fighting here, so I roughly responded.

For now, the muddy swamps here were my favorite hunting grounds after the ant burrows and the desert scorpion forest.

So I didn't want to give up yet.

“After all, am I right that it’s not worth the money? Heh heh.”

I just smiled once at his pun, then went to a corner and shouted logout.

next day.

As usual, I woke up early, made breakfast with cereal, and went straight to the game.

And after hunting like crazy for a little over 4 hours, I finally raised level 2 and logged out.

Because we decided to eat at the main house from lunch.

So I hurriedly washed up and left the house.

Of course, in the meantime, I did not forget what I had prepared in advance.

It is the 3rd generation virtual reality connector.

Before, I was afraid in many ways that the game would show my family how to play ‘Revival Legend’.

Thinking about what to do if I'm disappointed.

But now it's the exact opposite.

so i took it

Just to grab some lunch at home and a few moments before attending the executive meeting in the evening.

Soon, as always, I took a city bus and took a taxi from near my house to my house in Cheongdam-dong.

Then I went into the house and ate with my mother, who was still waiting for me outside.

with dad, brother and sister.

Of course, after eating, Dad and brother moved first to find out what was busy.

With a brief mention of the executive meeting in the evening.

dinner spot.

“By the way, why is there no future group since it’s a management meeting?”

The five major groups in Korea were Mirae, Daesung, Myeongjin, Gusan, and Daeyou.

But before he got up from his seat, the future and Daeyu were missing from Dad's words.

In particular, they are collectively referred to as the five major groups, but if you want to distinguish them clearly, they are strong, middle, middle, and weak.

As such, Mirae Group was the immovable tower of the Republic of Korea.

Daeyu was definitely hit.

But that future group was missing.

And to my question like that, my sister opened her mouth as if it was nothing special.

“Daddy told you to come early to tell me. you should know too So today's meeting is a special meeting disguised as a business meeting. It’s also about Revival Legend.”

"Huh? Revival Legend?”

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide to hear that it was a special meeting about Revival Legend, not a management meeting.

"Huh. So, do you know what it means to not have a future group in such a special meeting?”

“The future group… don’t you think?”It was only inferred.

And at my reaction, my sister smiled and opened her mouth.

“Fufufu. no, do it now Also, in a hurry. But it's already too late. Of course the future group also knows today's meeting. So, from what I heard, they will also attend, but we, Daesung, and Gusan, who have suffered quite a bit in the future, have no intention of interfering. With a feeling of wanting to be fucked once. Isn't that what this floor is all about?"

I don't know if this floor was originally like that, but my sister said as if it wasn't a big deal.

This time up to the chin.

“By the way, the future that even talks about locking up aliens and stealing technology is ignoring that. Oman? conceit? Or was it because he was too big and his ass was heavy? So, the future is going to be very busy right now. I was trying to figure out what I had to concede to in order to get it.”

“What about you?”

“Because it’s a place that is a bit sloppy from the beginning. Anyway, literally, today's meeting was created because we, Daesung, and Gusan continued to expand, causing friction and noise in overlapping areas. Of course, that is a superficial element, and the real thing is that our Myeongjin, Daesung, and Gusan are so good that we want to eat everything.”

“……”

From a long time ago, my sister did well.

To clearly express something that is coarse like a tangled skein, or to accurately express the core that is difficult to pull out because it is gritty.

So I didn't share a few words with my sister, but I got a sense of it.

And the older sister continued, chewing the apples on the table as if she had not yet finished speaking.

“Isn’t it only in the imagination that everyone shares the originally limited goods equally? Moreover, although it is currently far away in its own country, in the not-too-distant future, the whole world will unite and fight for the limited goods. Well, before that, you want to make friends. If it goes well, it could even be united into one force.”

Words passing by as if it wasn't a big deal for my sister.

However, the words contained content that could not be dismissed as simply passing words.

"integrated?"

"Huh?"

“Didn't you just say integration? And the whole world.”

Integration around the world.

I didn't think of it at all.

And in response to my reaction, my sister shrugged her shoulders and continued.

“Is it possible that you have heard all of that from your father and haven’t noticed yet?”

At the words of my sister, I pondered the words I had heard from my father.

The disappearance of an American company called Bten, which possesses the original technology for virtual reality, and the idea that the 4th car will be realized in reality came to mind.

And the government and giant corporations, including the United States, are betting their lives on this game called 'Revival Legend'.

In other words, this ‘Revival Legend’ is being serviced not only in Korea but all over the world.

However, I have never met a foreigner in the game.

And seeing me like that, my older sister, who was sitting in her crooked posture, straightened her posture and looked straight at me and opened her mouth.

“Listen. little brother I mean, this 'Revival Legend'. Well... yes. To put it simply, I have one server. One server for everything. And there are a lot of channels that depend on that server. It’s like a game.”

I knew the kind of game my sister was talking about, so I just listened quietly.

“And if it was an original game, you could move to and from that channel, but right now, this ‘Revival Legend’ is impossible. But do you think this will last forever? no. Absolutely not. Of course it's just a guess. But one day, the channel that becomes the boundary line will disappear. Then what will happen? Of course, we will be gathered in one place.”

“The… Then what language? What are you going to do with the language?”

Communication.

Communication was essential in all games.

However, hundreds of languages, not just one or two, that block that communication are bound to become a stumbling block.

fuck.

But she said with a smile as if she didn't mind my question.

“Do you think such trivial things would be a problem for this game?”

“……”

For a moment, I had no choice but to remain silent at the words of my sister.

Because I couldn't think of anything to say back.
