Closed Beta I Played Alone

64 episodes. Who is Ashirante? (2)

“Ice Field. and superimposed thin ice.”

Passionate!

As always, he was preoccupied with hunting.

Even without moving the hunting grounds, here in the abandoned tree fields where long-rooted tree monsters come out.

Moreover, it has already been three days since the incident with Seongchang.

But it was quiet.

No, it wasn't that it was quiet, but I was still alone in this abandoned tree field.

as if nothing had happened.

So, looking at the atmosphere alone, the operation to put on the ID of ‘Ashirante’ seemed to have failed.

But I didn't feel any rush.

Because 50 people.

Exactly all 50 people used the Memory Orb.

And Seongchang controls all the videos filmed by those 50 people?

Absolutely impossible

Because human greed does not exist within the controllable range.

“The pouring hail! Multiple Ice Arrows!”

poop. poop poop.

So, I became obsessed with hunting.

After all, as time goes by, the name ‘Ashirante’ will spread widely.

And the plan to spread the real 'Ashirante' name, which I discussed with my father and my family, hasn't even started yet.

Daesung Guild Headquarters.

“Is he right?”

"Yes. It is clear.”

To the question of Daesung Chairman Kim Jung-han, Chief of Staff Jang In-soo answered with a strong voice as if there was no need for any doubt.

And in response, Chairman Kim Jung-han opened his mouth by biting his molars.

“You bastard, Ashirante. Dare you pretend to be the operator and make fun of us?”

An ice-type wizard dressed in ragged clothes.

Daesung once looked for an ice wizard who wore that ragged outfit.

Because he mentioned that he was an operator with his own mouth.

Of course, Daesung's leaders, including Chairman Kim Jung-han, did not readily believe him, but he was concerned about the ragged clothes.

There's no way a strong person like that would wear ragged clothes, but even if he did, there's no way he'd get bored of hunting in such a low-level hunting ground.

Moreover, it was later confirmed that the quarrel had walked first by their guild member.

“By the way, if it’s like this, I think I’ll believe it even if I’m a real operator now.”

“……”

“……”

Even before Chairman Kim Jung-han's angry cry was over, a low voice leaked out from one side.

At those words, there was silence in the conference room as if it had ever been so noisy.

Even Chairman Kim Jong-han, who had not boldly expressed his anger until recently.

In the video that was obtained in secret, he was really incredibly strong.

As much as he wants to sign up as Daesung by all means.

And Magildoo, the head of the special unit, which consisted of only the aces of Daesung, who was the one who created the silence by spitting out the word like an operator, opened his mouth one after another.

“Whatever the relationship in the past, once you know it, why not let it go? Such a great jewel. At any rate, if an author enters the future, Myeongjin, Gusan, or Daeyu… I am terrified just thinking about it.”

“Then what should I do?”

Chairman Kim Jung-han looked at Magil-doo and opened his mouth with a heavy expression.

But Magil Du shrugged his shoulders and replied with a playful look.

“How would anyone with a body like me know? That has to be done by the president and the smart people here.”

rescue group.

“His name is Ashirante.”

"Yes. And it is most likely that the author achieved the maximum level from the 1st and 2nd phases to the 3rd closed beta. No, after watching this video, I think you can clearly see it. The author of Asirante will be the one who has achieved the maximum level in all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. Otherwise, I can't use that ability.

There is no way to order.”Chairman Jung Un-ki's words were followed by Lee Tae-sun, the head of the department.

And this time, Jeong Seok-young, who had met the ice wizard, who was known as Ashirante, during the Scorpion King Quest, opened his mouth.

“It has gotten stronger. Even when I was only level 131, I couldn't even dare, but now it's even worse. Of course, considering his ability at level 131, he leveled up faster than anyone else, but the author's level 1 is still more like level 10 or level 100 of others.”

Words close to Jung Seok-young's complaint.

But when she said that, she didn't object to anyone.

Because it actually looked like that.

“By the way, to reveal your identity so openly…”

Ashirante, who did not reveal her ID until the end as participant number 30 during Scorpion King's quest.

But this time, revealing his identity had to have a different intention.

Moreover, she felt as if she had revealed herself openly rather than being forced to reveal it.

And everyone gathered here had enough ability to infer it.

“Isn’t this some kind of protest? It’s a showcase-like demonstration of one’s own ransom and values.”

"Hmm..."

At the words of Director Lee Tae-sun, Chairman Jung Un-ki spit out.

Then, Director Lee Tae-sun confirmed that Chairman Jung Woon-ki was sulking and spat out the words one after another.

“Perhaps even that Ashirante isn’t in a hurry. It’s not going to close the business until the right customers arrive.”

"okay. great. Gotta catch it anyway. Because that Ashrantera might be the most needed existence when the wall disappears beyond this narrow Republic of Korea. Especially in order to prevent China and Japan from wanting to bite the Republic of Korea somehow.”

"Yes. all right."

“We will try our best to find a way.”

As such, Daesung and Kusan, who had already had contact with Ashirante, more precisely, lumen, began to move quickly.

But there was no rush.

Judging from the behavior shown in the spear, Ashirante didn't show any impatience or even any signs of moving right away.

I can only give you a bad impression in a hurry.

Of course, the future and Daeyu also began to move.

Even if the probability of holding them is low, the existence of Ashirante was too attractive to just suck on both hands.

In particular, after checking the video called Future Yeon-Bora, I remembered the existence of one person.

Even though he was wearing a robe and a mask, his childhood friend Hong Jooyoung somehow found it.

But soon he shook his head.

Because Myeong-jin throws such a huge jewel in a shabby studio outside the house?

Yeon Bo-ra decided that there was no way to do such a thing unless Myeong-jin went crazy.

More because Myungjin knows the meaning of this ‘Revival Legend’ game better than anyone else.

So, I shook my head even more to erase Hong Jooyoung, who somehow overlapped the ruler of Ashirante.

Of course, Myungjin?

moved

Not just pretending, but actually quite deeply.

As such, Chairman Hong Sang-man was a person who knew very well that a small hole starts with something trivial.

Abandoned wooden field.

‘Isn’t this too prudent to be cautious?’

It's been 1 week already.

I know that the story about me has spread far enough.

But it was quiet.

It's like they don't even care about me.

Of course, through my sister, I heard that Mirae, Daesung, Gusan, Daeyu, etc. are working hard to understand me.

Anyway, while he was thinking about this and that, he never let go of the string for hunting.

That is why, whenever I listened to it, a friendly message rang out.

[Level has risen.]

"Five. Check the status window.”

[Name: lumen, Ashirante

Level: 299

Number of kills: 1137, Number of deaths: 0

Title: I alone, a max level player, and 4 others.

Health: 1,387,000(now) / 1,387,000(max)

Remaining stat points: 350

Remaining skill points: 0

Traits: Iceman, co-growth, god of reinforcement.]

When participating in the boss monster raid of the Holy Spear, the level was exactly 264.

After that, in one week, I raised exactly level 35.

And now, if you raise one more level, it is finally equal to the level 300 achieved during the 3rd closed beta.

He couldn't help but be happy.

And apart from that pride, his eyes were focused on his intelligence.

Almost 8000.

Of course, the effect of the item was great.

Other options for rings, earrings, and necklaces are also options, but accessories with the energy of the sacred snow of the legend level with 250 intellect each.

When I put it on myself, I could see why people risk their lives on good items.

First of all, the longer pride is enough to enjoy at level 300 by raising one more level, so I invested all 350 remaining stat points into intelligence and closed the status window.

And this time I pulled out one item from my inventory.

“Check item.”

[Root (General)

-Eat it to get one root.]

An item obtained from a long-rooted giant tree.

This is the first time I've seen such unkind and vague expressions while playing many games.

Of course, I also asked my dad, my brother, and my sister.

Because you already know that I hunted a long-rooted giant tree.

And the fact that he had yielded to me everything dropped by the boss monster at that time in the Holy Spear.

But no one knew.

Even Chief Executive Officer Seok In-soo.

Of course, the lowest grade, the general grade.

There is only one line of description for the item.

Therefore, it was not difficult to guess that it was not so important by analogy.

The comparison may be a bit harsh as it is a material item, but considering that the stone squirrel's undigested mineral mass boasted a long description of over 11 lines.

"Hmm."

I looked down at the fern-like root that had dried up and was as long as my little finger.

“Only general grade. And if it's worth it, the Holy Spear wouldn't have given me everything."

Sungchang decided to give me everything that was dropped, but did not even pay attention to the drop items.

It was as if I had intuition that there was only one item that was obvious to me.

Moreover, even if it was rare, I was thinking of asking a question to the Holy Spear.

But only general grade.

To be honest, it was too trivial to think about its use and efficacy for over a week.

therefore.

Thistle. gulp.

put it in his mouth

Then, after chewing it a few times, as tough as rubber, he passed it down his throat.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes and 5 minutes.

First, I waited a bit.

maybe do it

But after 5 minutes, nothing happened.

"what? Check the list of summons.”

[List of summons.

- There are currently no summons.

-You can learn and use summon skills.]“Check the taming monster list.”

[List of taming monsters.

- There are currently no tamed monsters.

-You can acquire and use the Taming Monster skill.]

“……”

message that there is nothing.

I checked the message and lifted my right foot off the ground.

followed by the left foot.

And this time, I also jumped.

Because the root is usually buried in the ground, absorbs moisture and nutrients, and is the part that becomes the source of decisively maintaining the body.

So I wanted to see if there was something on my feet or soles touching the ground, but there was nothing.

Even if you jump with both feet off the ground at the same time.

"her."

Of course, I wasn't expecting much.

No matter how many boss monsters drop it, it's only a normal grade.

But I didn't think that would make anything happen.

An incident of eating has occurred, and it is a normal procedure that the result has to occur in some way due to the incident.

But the trouble didn't last long.

Because worrying does not give you an answer.

First of all, I checked the time since tomorrow is the day I am going home.

Exactly a little past 1 in the morning.

We immediately moved to the safety zone of an abandoned wooden field.

And immediately logged out.

I wanted to hunt for a few more hours and hit level 300, but I didn't want to break the rhythm because it was enough to get up in the morning before heading home anyway.

Of course, as always, I logged out, brushed my teeth, and went straight to sleep.

I was thinking of getting level 300 tomorrow and stocking up on new skills and new items.

Early in the morning when Hong Jooyoung was asleep.

∑.

Something appeared from the soles of Hong Jooyoung's feet.

Something black and wrinkly the size of a little finger.

And after waiting around Hong Jooyoung like a caterpillar, it disappeared into Hong Jooyoung's soles again.

the next morning.

As soon as I woke up early in the morning, I went straight to the game without washing my hands or making breakfast with cereal.

I really want to shoot level 300 before I go home.

And I was able to achieve level 300 in less than 4 hours by hunting more intensively than ever before.

Of course, he received 3 skill points for reaching level 300.

Of course, this alone is enough to celebrate reaching level 300.

Because acquiring a new skill in itself means becoming stronger than before.

But this time there was one more waiting.

This is a level 300 limited quest that will make the name Ashirante widely known.

And that was the original purpose.

The boss monster with Sungchang was not planned from the beginning.

Anyway, with a smile on my face, I went to the safety zone in an abandoned wooden field, logged out, and immediately washed.

I was hungry, but I skipped the rice because I wanted to eat warm home-cooked food.

And I found it the moment I sat down on the bed to put on the socks.

"Huh? What hole is that?”

There was a small hole at the foot of the bed.

“Were you there?”

But I didn't really care.

Because it was such a small hole, there seemed to be a high probability that I could not find what was originally there.

First of all, I took the 3rd generation virtual reality connector and left the studio.
