Closed Beta That Only I Played-Chapter 43

Usually, the monster serpent would fail just before its ascension into the sky. Besides, I felt a bit pressured because it’s obviously stupid that I could not get to the top with the three traits and several titles.

However, as time passed, my horizons expanded. The world of Revival Legend was vast.

Even if they wanted to, the probability of them finding me is extremely low. Besides, there is a huge number of ice-type wizards. Above all, I’ve got very crucial support, namely Myongjin Group where my father is the chairman.

My father told me clearly that his company was putting everything on ‘Revival Legend.’ In other words, I didn’t have to even worry about the big guilds, which I stupidly had forgotten until now.

At that moment the alarm rang.

[It’s 1:00 AM.]

“Is it already one o’clock in the morning?”

Soon I had to turn back because I learned from experience that I could spend the most time on games when I was leading a regular life.

Ten minutes later I moved quickly, taking care of the salamanders that appeared on and off because they were rare monsters.

While I was moving, I found one of the eleven users that I killed in the center of the Salamander Habitat where most users were located. Beside him were two other users. Obviously what they did was far from hunting. At that moment I slowed down and moved slowly, passing by them.

“White head, white head, white head.”

“Hey, not white head, but white hair!”

“It’s the same, man. Dang it, so boring. How can I find the man with only clues of his white hair and ragged clothing? Fuck! The 4th branch really sucks! I think I have to move up to the 3rd branch as soon as possible. I really can’t stand it.”

“Wait a minute. It seems like management will come up with some measure because they also realized they could not find the guy.”

“Stop it. By the way, do you remember anything specific about the guy? Because you were there, you should know better than us.”

“Damn it. I fell after a couple of blows, man. It didn’t take more than a few seconds for me to die.”

“Damn it, shit!”

Tramp, tramp.

Even though my eyes met his clearly, he did not recognize me. He just looked elsewhere as if he was tired of everything. But there was one thing that bothered me more than him.

‘White hair?’

It was mentioned again. Yes, white hair. They mentioned white hair when I destroyed the scarecrow. At that moment, I reached out and pulled my hair. What I got was definitely black hair.

‘What the heck? It’s so black, but why do you keep calling it white?’

I ignored it when they mentioned it first, but I inevitably got curious when I heard it again.

But before I became more curious, I was now more attracted to their conversation.

“It’s Daesung, right?”

“Yes, Daesung.”

“My friend said that he saw Daesung for something on the cursed land like now.”

“I also saw them in another place by myself yesterday.”

“What the hell are they looking for?”

“Well. But I hope I can’t find it. Lol.”

“Me, too. Lol.”

“Was it Daesung?”

Their conversation clearly showed who they were. In other words, they were talking about Daesung Group, one of the top five business conglomerates in South Korea like Myongjin Group. They were so near and yet so far from each other. That was the relationship among the largest business groups, for I had met their chairmen and sons. For example, I have met Chairman Junghan Kim of Daesung Group and his grandson Cholmin Kim who was the same age as me.

Anyway, I passed all of them and entered the Safety Zone of the Salamander Habitat where the Teleport Zone was located. Then I immediately whispered to my sister who was registered as my only friend here.

[lumen: Are you there, Sis?]

[Super beauty: Uh. Why?]

She replied quickly as if she was playing the game at the moment.

So I asked right away.

[lumen: What color was my hair when you saw me before?]

[Super beauty: Your hair color?]

[Super beauty: Black. You haven’t changed anything, including the color of your hair.]

[lumen: It’s black, right?]

[Super beauty: What the heck! What’s wrong with you?]

[lumen: Oh…nothing. Thanks.]

[Super beauty: You’re welcome.]

I quit whispering to her. She confirmed it’s black. Besides, if my hair had been white, they would not have let me go. One of them even met my eyes when I passed by. In other words, my hair color must be black.

‘Why?’

I still questioned it. Obviously my hair turned white when I destroyed the scarecrow back then, and they again mentioned my hair was white because they saw it.

‘Is it because I used Iceman?’ f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

The first thing that came to mind was the Iceman trait. But I couldn’t figure out why my hair turned white only then.

‘Hmm. I don’t think my hair color changes just because I use skills.’

When I destroyed the scarecrow, I didn’t use a single skill. I just wielded the stick the best I could. I really concentrated because the red dot on the scarecrow appeared and disappeared faster and faster.

‘Best? Concentration?’

At that moment, the word ‘best’, as well as ‘concentration’, bothered me because I did my best this time too. I really concentrated because it was my first time PKing. I had never thought of it before, even in my dream. The game was more boring than I expected, but I really did my best to concentrate while I was at it just like how I destroyed the scarecrow.

Of course, I concentrated when I hunted, but it was more fun because I was thoroughly rewarded for my efforts, such as EXP or miscellaneous items whenever the hunted monsters fell one by one.

Anyway, they would not have found me. The items I put on changed, and the color of my hair, which was supposed to stand out most, also changed. Then I logged out with a smile because I had to go to bed now to do my best to play the game again tomorrow.

The next day I got up to the sound of my alarm at 7:30, had a quick breakfast, and then accessed the game right away. Despite the early morning, the Salamander Habitat was already crowded with users, and its Safety Zone caught my eye.

I opened the status bar first because I wanted to wrap up hunting today instead of dragging it on for the next seven days as originally scheduled. I also wanted to check my performance so far.

[Name: lumen

Level: 131

Kills: 11, Deaths: 0

Title: The only closed beta max level achiever and three others.

Health: 893,000(now) / 893,000(max)

Mana: 738,000(now) / 738,000(max)

Strength: 810 Agility: 810 Stamina: 3,750

Willpower: 2,280 Intellectual Power: 3,817

Remaining Stat Points: 300

Remaining Skill Points: 0

Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Enhancement.]

Thanks to the Enhancement 3 Cydin defense armor set, Intellectual Power increased by 67.

Of course, there was also an increase in Willpower, but unfortunately not all of it was applied because Mutual Growth, Stamina, and Willpower were not affected by items as they were subject to Intellectual Power. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Anyway, I raised 30 levels for 5 days. It could be said as a lot on the one hand, but too little on the other. Of course, it was ridiculously fast from a general point of view. But I made it because it was me. At Level 100 I hunted 400 Level monsters, and I never took a break during the game because my Stamina was too high.

Anyway, I invested all the 300 remaining stat points I obtained by leveling up 30 levels in Intellectual Power. Then, with a satisfied smile, I turned my feet after checking my status bar that changed more colorfully with an increase of 300 Intellectual Power. Of course, I also noticed I had 11 Deaths in that process.

“Move to Desert Scorpion Forest.”

I thought about going back to the ant caves, but I felt a bit shameless to do so.
