Closed Beta That Only I Played-Chapter 93

I now understood why Dad spoke to me with a gloomy expression.

He was concerned about me. In other words, people would not necessarily look at me with good intentions as my father wished. Some people would think of me as an obstacle, like the American guy who is regarded as the top player or the Chinese player who is thirsty for any chance to beat the Korean player because the most effective way for a player to become stronger is to nip his rivals in the bud..

But I was not worried.

So I said, “Don’t worry, Dad. No one knows where the server of this ‘Revival Legend’ is located or whether its administrator really exists at all. Besides, there is no private information available about users playing this game.”

In other words, as long as I’m not stupid enough to tell anybody I’m Juyoung Hong, nobody would know me.

Of course, there is no possibility that my identity will be known, but even if it is revealed somehow, I don’t intend to give up anyway because I had received enormous rewards from the level 100 only enhancement quest.

So, how can I give up the level 300 only arena quest just because I’m afraid that my name, not even my real identity, will be revealed? I have no intention of giving up at all.

I have already dipped my toe in the water for this quest. Besides, I’ve also tasted the sweet rewards from clearing quests several times. I was too greedy to stop the quest simply for the fear that my ID would be revealed.

So, after organizing my thoughts, I met my father’s gaze and said clearly, “I will do my best.”

My mother felt worried about my decision, but my whole family had agreed to it, after all.

It was late at night when I left my Cheongdam-dong house, for I had to be alert for anybody looking at me with suspicion from now on.

In my one-room studio late into the night.

I immediately connected to ‘Revival Legend’ because I didn’t use what I gained after achieving level 300; namely, the three skill points.

“Move to Perrero Castle.” f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

[You have been moved to Perrero Castle.]

As soon as I moved to Perrero Castle, I went straight to the huge tower in the central square.

There, a familiar message rang.

[There are currently ice-type skills available.]

[There are currently ice-type skills that can be upgraded.]

‘Check skill list.’

So, I started checking the skills I currently had.

[Current skills List.

-level 3 Ice Ball. (Levels 1, 2, 3)

-Level 3 Ice Bolt. (Levels 1, 2, 3)

-Level 3 Ice Weapon. (Levels 1, 2, 3)

-Level 3 Ice Shield (Levels 1, 3, 5, 7)

-Minor Frostbite Occurrence. (Passive.)

– Level 2 Ice Field. (Level 2, 5, 7)

– Level 2 Pouring Hailstone (Level 2, 4, 6, 8)

– Level 2 Ice Blast. (Level 2, 4, 6)

– Level 3 Multiple Ice Arrow. (Level 2, 3, 5)

– Level 3 Ice Prison. (Level 3, 5, 7)

– Level 3 Thin Ice. (Level 3.)

– Level 3 Ice Spear. (Level 3, 4, 6)]

A total of 12 skills.

I was happy about it because where others normally had only 9 skill points, I had 12 because of the 3 extra skill points I obtained from achieving the maximum level during the 3rd Closed Beta.

Anyway, I could obtain additional four levels by achieving level 300.

Of course, there were a few skills which had a maximum level of 3, which were most of the skills I had learned in the beginning. However, I don’t intend to delete them because I have to use these low-level skills constantly while my AOE skills are on cooldown.

So, I tried to upgrade all the skills that could be upgraded to level 4.

[Would you like to upgrade level 2 Pouring Hailstone to level 4?]

[Would you like to upgrade level 2 Ice Blast to level 4?]

[Would you like to upgrade the level 3 Ice Spear to level 4?] 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

I chose to upgrade them all.

And about the required golden rings? If I needed to delete them later, I would need to use five times as many golden rings.

Well, I had too many golden rings to worry about it.

Anyway, I quickly upgraded all the skills that could be upgraded to level 4 then started looking for new skills. Of course, there were skills I already had in mind.

So I quickly found these skills by using the search function.

[Level 4 Blink. (Active, 1 skill point required, 250,000 golden rings required.)

: You can teleport a short distance instantly.

: Level 4 and level 6 Blink exist.]

[Level 4 Ice Storm. (Active, 2 skill points required, 560,000 golden rings required.)

: It causes an ice storm in a certain range.

: Level 4, level 7, 8 level 8 Ice Storm exist.]

Ice Storm is an AOE skill that requires 2 skill points to obtain.

But I chose to acquire it right away because it is a skill that is worth it.

Moreover, Blink that I obtained first before Ice Storm was also essential.

So, after I was done acquiring the two skills, I left the place.

There was one more thing left for me to do in order to achieve a really ridiculous record.

It was to replace the level 200 precious grade Elsha’s armor set.

However, I didn’t have to go to the auction house because my dad had given me a legendary grade wizard armor set as congratulations for achieving level 300.

I checked the time quickly.

[23:55 pm]

Since I had left my house in Cheongdam-dong quite late, it was almost the next day when I reached my one-room studio.

I could start the level 300 only arena quest right now, but I did not do so.

I thought it wasn’t a bad idea for me to go to sleep about an hour earlier than usual for tomorrow’s quest.

6:30 am the next morning.

When I woke up and checked the clock, it was exactly 6:30 am, an hour earlier than my usual wake-up time. So, I got up from bed right away because I had slept so well that I was full of energy, and I could not afford to idle away on bed because I had woken up early.

I had cereal for breakfast as usual, then immediately accessed the game.

Soon one corner of the Perrero Castle’s square, where I had logged out yesterday, came into view. Then I slowly walked to the north of the square, and went straight to the arena.

[Perero Castle’s Arena.]

A huge building located on the north side of the square.

There was also an arena on the north side of the square in Kotum Castle, the first place I took as my main base.

I heard that after Pioneers’ City was renamed to Asirante, an arena was created there too. Anyway, if I wanted to use that arena, I could use it at any time because it was not far away.

Of course, arenas existed even during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Closed Betas of ‘Forgotten Legend’. However, I had never used them, nor did I even intend to use them.

And I thought I would not change my mind even after ‘Forgotten Legend’ was renamed to ‘Revival Legend.’

This time I thought differently.

‘Right now, I am not simply going to be content with using the arena; I want to show off my skills there.’

I sometimes thought that if I had not gotten three traits, five titles, and various rewards, I would have felt the same way as I did now. Of course, I knew the real answer, which was a No.

If I had not obtained three traits, five titles, and various rewards, I would have stayed passive, never attempting to attack other users, let alone using the arena.

But even in that situation I would have coined my ID as Lumen, meaning light.

But I had always had the desire to reveal my presence and have others look up at me.

I wanted to do so with my ID Lumen, which represented my hidden true mind and desire. But since I knew I could not do it, I held in my desire

So, I felt it was a bit regrettable that I could not act with my original ID, Lumen, instead of Asirante.

But even if Asirante was the ID that became widely known, it doesn’t change the fact that Asirante was me.

Besides, I didn’t want to hide my ID Lumen behind Asirante forever.

Leaving my regrets behind, I moved to the arena proudly for the first time.

As soon as I entered the huge arena, a message rang.

[You have a level 300 only arena quest.

-You can proceed with this quest at level 300.

-Do you wish to proceed?]

‘Hold on.’
