Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 10

Episode 10. 3 rewards and (1).

“execution.”

– Run the virtual reality connector.

Soon before my eyes, I could see a small island cut off by water in all directions.

“……”

In high school, the name has now changed, but the wallpaper that was changed when the first closed beta of ‘Forgotten Legend’ started.

It’s been a while since I’ve logged in, so it’s awkward.

So I quietly opened my mouth.

“Change Background.”

– Change the background.

Soon, the 10 backgrounds inherent in the second-generation low-end virtual reality connector caught my eye.

And without hesitation, I chose one of them.

to a wide meadow.

It also unfolded endlessly.

“Hmm. Have your tastes changed?”

The island was definitely nice.

Because I got a sense of stability from being cut off from my surroundings.

But this time, I liked the endless meadow.

Of course, he quickly turned his gaze elsewhere.

Because it’s not the background that matters.

“Check download history.”

– Your download history.

: Revival Legend. (Available.)

“Run Revival Legend.”

Until morning, I was neither nervous nor trembling, but now I am trembling.

Even though the name of the game has changed, it is clear that ‘Revival Legend’ is the ‘Forgotten Legend’ I played.

– Run Revival Legend.

Soon the intro video was released.

The first video of a fierce war between humans, the second, which is the invasion of numerous monsters, and the third video and other videos of humans recovering the devastated continent.

Of course, at that time, I skipped everything and quickly skipped it.

Because of the two-week deadline, I didn’t have time to watch the intro video.

But this time I didn’t skip it.

Since it was officially opened, there is no time limit like the closed beta, and since it has been more than 3 years since the service started, there is no reason to waste a few minutes here and the gap will not widen further.

“Hmm.”

I don’t know if this intro video actually continued from that time.

No, it would have been.

Because the liveliness of the humans seemed to have been completed as if the reconstruction had been completed.

cultural revival.

However, the cultural revival in the video did not last long.

With the appearance of those who have awakened their special abilities.

If you have power, you want to show it off and show it off.

It was the same in the intro video.

Even if the meaning of the rebellion is an expression of rebellion against oppression and oppression.

Combat coming soon.

And the battle spread like wildfire as more and more people who awakened their abilities gradually emerged.

Then it is engulfed in flames.

“It’s okay. Well done.”

I really liked the first video I watched until the end.

Because it was more splendid and grand than any other video.

And the wheat fields I always saw in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closed betas unfolded.

“This is not going to change.”

-User Hong Jooyoung’s body recognition, iris recognition, and brain wave recognition have been completed.

-Character setting is possible.

Soon, my image appeared like a hologram in front of my eyes.

“Well…”

I was a little worried.

Because in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closed betas, I created the character as I was.

Because it was reset in two weeks anyway, so I didn’t feel the need to decorate.

Of course, there is no doubt that it is me even if I touch it a little.

But somehow I didn’t want to change it.

As long as I have decided to become a game junkie, my current appearance is the most suitable for immersion.

“great. just basic! Even if it’s the basics anyway, no one will recognize me.”

Except for the Boss Monster Raid, I always played the game by myself, and I chose the current look without hesitation because the appearance changes depending on the item I wear.

-Please set your character ID.

“lumen.”

He answered the question about the character ID without hesitation.

Because lumen is the same ID as my alter ego.

It contains the desire to become a shining being.

Even if it is a world in a game that is not real.

-Character ID is set to ‘lumen’.

Are you sure you want to proceed like this?

“uh.”

Character creation and name.

So as I closed my eyes in preparation for the upcoming move, the message rang more in succession.

– I am a closed beta user.

There is a record of achieving the maximum level during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closed beta periods.

A reward is given for that. (This reward is only given to those who achieve the maximum level.)

“Five!”

Of course, sometimes.

Users who participated in the Closed Beta under the name of so-called privileges are sometimes given small rewards when they are officially opened.

I’ve actually experienced it in other games I’ve played in the past.

So I let out a little cheer from my mouth.

Because according to the description, rewards are only given to those who achieve max level, because I achieved max level 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Of course, that would be a very small reward.

Still, I eagerly awaited the next message.

[Users who have reached the maximum level of the 1st closed beta.

As a bonus for reaching the maximum level, one trait is given by default.

However, its characteristics are determined by the grade obtained by the following factors.

-Number of monsters (including boss monsters) killed during the 1st closed beta period: SSS grade.

– Number of users killed during the 1st closed beta period: F grade.

-1 Item grade at the end of the closed beta: S grade.

-Golden ring grade held at the end of the 1st closed beta: S grade.

– Skill grade acquired at the end of the 1st closed beta: Grade A.]

-lumen’s 1st closed beta final grade is S grade.

Acquires the trait ‘Ice Man’.

“… Wasn’t it just a title that raised a few stats or an item that could be used for beginners?”

equity or balance.

The two elements above were the most important to any game in my opinion.

So I thought it would be a small reward.

that’s common

But the message that appeared in front of me was something very systematic.

In particular, the characteristic ‘Ice Man’ also seemed unusual.

So I immediately cried.

“Characteristic check. Ice Man.”

[Talent: Iceman.

: The essence of ice resides in the body.

-Don’t get cold

-Have perfect immunity to ‘Frostbite’.

-Increases the power of all Ice-type skills by 30%.

– The chance of inflicting frostbite on the opponent with an ice-type attack is greatly increased.

-Damage from the opponent’s Ice-type attack is reduced by 30%.]

“……”

I did the 1st, 2nd and 3rd closed betas of this game myself.

They are all ice magicians.

So I know.

How absurd it would be to increase the power of all ice-type skills by 30% instead of just one or two.

Literally, it means that among the many ice-type wizards, I am an exceptional wizard that I alone cannot compare.

In particular, assuming that they have almost the same level, same equipment, and similar skills when reaching the end of the last, a difference of 30% will cause a huge gap.

I can’t even dare to pursue it.

Because the figure of 30% is by no means light.

Because if I had 100 strength, 30% would add 30 strength, but if I had 1000, 10000, 100000 or more strength, 30% would increase exponentially.

Moreover, the fact that I receive 30% less damage from all ice types will make me a natural enemy and a predator.

By making the same ice wizard as a mouse in front of a cat.

“…Is it because I did all the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closed betas as an ice wizard?”

I could only think that it was because of that that I was given the character of ‘Ice Man’.

fuck.

So there was laughter.

Because even after changing the name to ‘Revival Legend’, I was thinking of becoming an ice-type wizard.And as he was smiling like that, the message rang.

This is the message that informs you of the reward for reaching the max level of the 2nd Closed Beta.

[This is a user who has reached the maximum level of the 2nd closed beta.

As a bonus for reaching the maximum level, one trait is given by default.

However, its characteristics are determined by the grade obtained by the following factors.

-Number of monsters (including boss monsters) killed during the 2nd closed beta period: SSS grade.

-Number of users killed during the second closed beta period: F grade.

-Items possessed at the end of the 2nd closed beta: S grade.

-Golden ring grade held at the end of the second closed beta: SS grade.

– Skill grade acquired at the end of the 2nd closed beta: Grade A.]

-lumen’s 2nd closed beta final grade is S grade.

Acquires the characteristic ‘Growth Together’.

“Characteristic check. Growing together.”

Since they had already experienced it once, they quickly shouted to confirm the characteristics of shared growth.

[Talent: Growing together.

: Growing together.

-Choose one stat to become the parent among strength, agility, stamina, intelligence, and mental power.

After that, you can decide two stats that will grow together with the parent.

First, the stats that will grow together grow the same as the parent at 100%.

The second stat to grow together grows to 50% of the parent’s value.

ex) If you select the parent as your strength and set the first shared growth stat to stamina and the second shared growth stat to agility, if you invest 100 stat points in strength, the first shared growth stat, stamina, will automatically become 100 and the second Agility, the companion growth stat, increases by 50 stat points.

However, the two stats attributed to the growth of the parent cannot exceed the maximum of the parent.

-The two stats attributed to the parent’s shared growth are not affected by skills, items, etc.][If you do not determine the stat to be the parent of shared growth and 2 stat points to grow together, you will not be able to acquire experience points.

– The stats set once for the first time cannot be changed.]

“……”

I was also very surprised when I received the attribute of ‘Ice Man’ as a max level reward for the 1st Closed Beta.

No, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

Of course, I could not participate in the Closed Beta, but because it was a reward that was given not only by participating, but only by reaching the max level, but it was too much.

However, the compensation of the 2nd closed beta blew away my thoughts that it was excessive.

by giving them more rewards.

“Anyway, is it okay?”

I had no choice but to open my mouth softly while carefully examining the characteristic of ‘shared growth’ once again.

It was so great that even a person who was not familiar with the game could see at a glance how absurd the characteristic of mutual growth was.

Because to put it simply, 100 stat points equals 250.

An additional 150% extra.

And of course, if not 100, but 1000, 10000 stat points, the increase would increase enormously.

But he soon turned his gaze elsewhere.

‘Cause there’s still more

The max level reward of the 3rd closed beta, which was difficult enough for me to reach max level just an hour before the end of the game.
