Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 104

104. I want to do it again…

Russia’s Irevulich Island, bordering the Arctic Ocean.

“Is it today?”

“Yes. If Ashirante has maintained a normal login time in Sector 0, we now have exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes left.”

Pablo immediately answered the question of the head of an organization called Lucia.

“Then will it be possible?”

“of course. Don’t the results so far prove it?”

A very confident response from Pablo.

However, no one who attended this executive meeting, including the guild leader, bet on Pablo’s majestic appearance.

In fact, there is no one who has been to Area 0 by Pablo and has rejected the offer to join twice in a row.

“By the way… I don’t have the most important news.”

A vague question from the guild chief.

But those who did not know the gist of the question were not present.

That’s because the guild leader was taking real information about Ashirante himself.

“We are still trying to hack as much as possible into wired and wireless and all internet spaces in Korea by spending huge amounts of money. But nowhere was there any mention of Breaking the Wall, Pablo, Sector 0.”

At the question of the guild leader, Bellita, who is in charge of the external affairs of the Lucia guild, opened her mouth with a dark expression.

Because she obviously swore that this way she could get the real information of Asirante.

However, after the 30 days were over, Bellita was forced to shrug her shoulders at the fact that she had not received any information after pouring a huge amount of money into it.

“It seems that Ashirante is very careful.”

“……”

“……”

“……”

A small silence settled in the meeting room at the low voice of the guild leader.

And the guild leader who made the silence broke the silence and opened his mouth.

“I might refuse again this time by any chance, so please do your best.”

“Yes! But if Asirante gnome wasn’t a pervert, he wouldn’t want to taste that 30-day hell again.”

With Pablo’s rant, the Lucia Guild executive meeting ended.

After that, Pablo went straight to ‘Revival Legend’ from there.

Maybe after an hour and a half, the Ashirante gnome can be thrown out of Sector 0.

Of course, Pablo prepared everything in advance by drilling a small hole between District 53 and District 0 in the Republic of Korea for that situation.

And as soon as he escapes from the hell called Zone 0, Ashirante will face the person who sent him to that hell.

Pablo never failed to sign in this way, so he was confident.In any case, Pablo actively moved to recruit Ashirante, even if not at the urging of the guild leader.

Ashirante’s strength is strong because he’s encountered them once, but he was afraid of the possibility of growth, and he knew that the only sure way to get out of that fear was to become a fellow member.

Zone 0.

dump.

With the message, all the monsters on stage 15 disappeared in an instant, and they collapsed on the floor.

“Huh… I almost died.”

It was possible to leave only 3 monsters on stage 14 with 12 hours and 40 minutes left until the end of the 30-day period allowed to stay in area 0.

After that, I waited without clearing immediately.

After stage 10, it basically took more than 2 days to clear each stage.

So I changed my goal to only step on stage 15.

And with exactly 10 minutes and 10 seconds remaining, the three remaining monsters on stage 14 were sorted out.

Even if a powerful monster appeared on stage 15, I was confident that it would last for 10 seconds.

However, on stage 15, which I faced in person, I almost died even though the roots were active from the beginning.

It was hard to hold on for even 10 seconds.

Of course, I sighed in relief because I survived as a result.

And with the end of the 30-day test that followed, a message announcing the reward.

fuck.

A smile was drawn on the corner of his lips as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

It was really difficult, and no matter how much I thought, it was almost impossible to step on stage 15 with a 7% implementation rate.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the roots, I would have almost stopped at stage 8 called Crossing the River.

But in the meantime, there was something disappointing.

right piece of character.

By clearing up to stage 15 or 14, only 4 attribute pieces were obtained.

And in a situation where combinations of 3, 5, and 7 are possible, 4 is inevitably an ambiguous number.

If you try with 3, the probability of getting a good trait is the lowest, and if you try with 3, you have 1 left.

Of course, except for the characteristic pieces, I was generally satisfied.

In particular, by clearing up to stage 14 with 100, 200, 300, and 400 remaining stat points, and obtaining 4, a total of 1000 was obtained.

There, it was possible to raise the level to 30 levels by 3 times, level 10, level 10, and level 10.

Certainly, compared to the remaining 1000 stat points, level 30 was not very satisfactory, but level-up was necessary anyway, so it was not so dissatisfying.

In addition, 5000 coins got 10,000 coins in 2nd time, and in the meantime, I received the clearest reward.

One billion golden rings.

Until then, it was obviously a huge amount.However, in area 0, golden rings poured out despite only hunting in each stage.

Even for Orcs, it’s basically 5000 gold rings or more.

So, the 1 billion golden ring given as a stage clear reward?

As soon as I received it, I frowned.

If stat points came out rather than 1 billion golden rings, it is even more likely that 500 will come out after 100, 200, 300, and 400 in sequence.

In any case, these are rewards given only for clearing each stage, not the sum of all 30 days, so I brushed off my regrets.

And 30 days was definitely not meaningless on this alone.

No, I wanted to do it again if I could, not at a meaningless level.

Since I have already experienced it once, I am confident that I will reach the stage faster, safer and higher this time.

However, there was something that I felt regretful the whole time I was here in Area 0.

The god of fortification.

As the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword was strengthened by 2, the cooldown was reduced to 8 days as nearly 20 million experience points were newly added to the required conditions following the Golden Ring.

In other words, it came back right after the god of reinforcement’s cooldown, but it was not used for more than 20 days.

Being in Area 0, everything else was fine, but that was very disappointing.

So, after receiving the reward and moving back to Area 53, I plan to go straight to the blacksmith.

Of course revenge for Pablo?

will do

But right now I don’t think so.

Because I have no intention of giving up my growth in order to take revenge.

Anyway, I waited for the reward to show up quickly with a heart of pounding anticipation, and the message that burned my heartbreak soon rang.

[Congratulations.

– Achieved an impossible level of achievement of moving up to stage 15 with 0 deaths and 7% implementation rate for 30 days.

As a reward, the following are given.

: Acquire 2 remaining skill points.

: Limited Skill: Acquire ‘Excellent’. (No skill points required to acquire, if deleted, it cannot be acquired again.)]

“……”

Only 2 rewards.

Of course it was good.

There are many skills I want to learn, but in the end, the current situation is that I cannot learn them because of skill points.

And it’s not just a skill, it’s a limited skill.

The name was somehow not light.

But it was clearly not filled with the castle.

At the very least, there had to be some remaining stat points or coins.

Even if you cleared up to stage 15 or 14 and received 1000 remaining stat points and 10,000 coins.

‘Am I too greedy?’

In any case, even with the message that repeated additional points were added, the message rang as if I had expected that I would react like that at the moment I felt regret at the thought that the reward was weaker than I expected.

[Going up to stage 15, I got a total of 17,246,775 points.

-You will be given 2 sparkling attribute fragments. (Unlike normal attribute fragments, twinkle attribute fragments increase the probability of higher-grade attributes appearing when combined. They can be combined without distinction from normal attribute fragments.)

– You will be given 10000 coins.

-Additional experience points will be awarded.]

I liked the trait pieces and the coins.

Because I needed both.

Especially the shiny attribute pieces.

However, there was no choice but to focus more attention on the additional experience points.

The ground task given to me right now is to first reach level 1200 as quickly as possible.

Anyway, I was satisfied with the rewards.

No, I was very satisfied with the rewards I received every time I cleared each stage.

To the extent that Pablo is seen as a benefactor.

“Anyway, I have to confirm. Limited Skill: Outstanding Confirmation.”

First, check the limited skills above.

[Limited Skill: Outstanding.

-One of the surest ways to become stronger is to make areas where you are exceptionally exceptional.

-This is a limited skill of Saint-Malong, who dug only one well in his lifetime.

: Doubles the stat that boasts the highest value among strength, agility, stamina, mental power, and intellect for 30 minutes.

: Cooldown: 10 days.]

“Woah…”

I thought that the word limited skill would be good.

But it was better than expected.

The most outstanding stat for me is intellect, and doubling that intelligence means showing off a completely different power than before.

Even if it’s only 30 minutes.

And in the future, intelligence will continue to increase steadily.

For example, there are still a total of 1000 remaining stat points and 300 remaining stat points with an increase of 30 levels in the status window.

And, of course, I plan to invest all of that in intelligence.

In any case, a message rang out while looking at the limited skill, which boasts superior effects than expected.

[lumen, Asirante is from Area 53.

-After -10 seconds, you are forcibly bounced back to Area 53.]

At that message, the memories of 30 days of being nauseous flashed past.

Sometimes I got angry.

I was sad too.

But all that anger and resentment were scattered like dust and disappeared.

With this kind of compensation, the 30 days of hard work doesn’t even count on the hardship axis.

Area 53.

“Check status window.”

I didn’t wonder where this place was.

Anyway, Area 53 must be certain and that’s enough.

Rather, I was itching to think of the status window where the 1300 remaining stat points were located.

So I decided to invest only this and move to a nearby blacksmith.

[Name: lumen, Ashirante

Level: 530

Number of kills: 1284, Number of deaths: 0

Titles: 6 other players including the max level CLVE user alone.

Health: 2,103,000(now) / 2,103,000(max)

Mana : 1,645,500(now) / 1,645,500(max)

Strength: 2150 Dexterity: 2150 Stamina 12800

Spirit: 7525 Intellect: 15450

Remaining stat points: 1300

Remaining Skill Points: 2

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

After reaching level 500, I met Pablo immediately after the level 500-limited arena quest.

So not much has changed.

Only the level, the remaining stat points, and the remaining 3 skill points had changed.

However, the amount of increase in the remaining stat points and remaining skill points was enormous compared to the level.

“Heh heh.”

laughter that comes out of nowhere.

First of all, I quickly invested all the remaining 1300 stat points into intelligence.

And when I was having fun imagining what kind of skill I would learn with the intelligence level of 16750 and 2 skill points that I never dreamed of in my life.

Soon, the sensitivity of the lips erased the smile.

Because the feeling I felt when I first met Pablo has been transmitted from my back.

First, he opened his mouth softly.

‘Use skill. Extraordinary.’

[Currently, among the strength, agility, stamina, mental power, and intellect possessed by lumen and Ashirante, the most outstanding stat is intelligence.

-Currently possessed intelligence: 16750.

-Intellect value is changed to 33500 for 30 minutes.

– 10 days cooldown will occur when the duration of Exceptional Age expires.]

First of all, it was used.

Of course, an attack on Pablo with this?

I have no intention of doing it right now.

Because I wanted to do it again. I wanted to go to zone 0 once again.

However, the god of reinforcement gripped his ankle tightly.

If you go again this time, you will lose the chance to use the god of reinforcement for another 30 days.

“Stop… get out.”

While speaking, it was regrettable that I had to go to the forge in advance before opening the status window and investing 1300 remaining stat points.

No, maybe he didn’t even have time to go to the forge.

Because it was really only a few seconds.

And as soon as I finished my words, a voice came out from behind me along with Inkigi.

“nice to meet you. By the way, does it feel good to be out there? Well… that’s good. It must have been hell.”

i thought so too

But as soon as I stepped in, I knew.

Said it was heaven

But no mention was made.

Because the thought of wanting to go to Area 0 again and the thought of wanting to use the god of reinforcement intersect.

therefore.

“Hey… I guess I have someone to say hello to on the occasion of my return, so it took 5 minutes, no 3 minutes, no 1 minute! Won’t we meet in a minute?”

“?”

I was sincere.

Exactly 1 minute.

One minute was enough.

But Pablo tilted his head, wondering if my reaction was wrong.“I must have been very shocked there. Indeed, it is worth it.”

Of course, I was shocked in a different way.

I never thought there would be such a place as Treasure Island.

“Then don’t ask me again. Would you like to join our ‘Lucia’ guild? Of course, you will have to make a wise choice unlike back then. Otherwise, you will experience hell again for 30 days.”

I wanted to experience that hell again.

therefore.

“Chip. Why am I in a trash guild like Lucia?! I am happy in Daeyu!”

With tears in my eyes, I made a choice.

Because there was so much to gain in 30 days and I didn’t know if there would be another chance to go to Area 0 again in the future.

I decided that I should pull it out and eat it as much as possible when I can pull it out and eat it.

Either way, I think it’s more beneficial.

So he responded with anger.

To Pablo, who made my god of fortification postponed for another 30 days.

“Huh… are you really crazy?”

“Chip. What’s crazy? What a good guild Daeyu is! What do you guys know about Daeyu!”

Daeyu was a good enough guild for the sole reason that he shared the quest of the Salimaru Bandits.

Anyway, at my reaction, Pablo opened his mouth with an expression that was difficult to understand.

“Huh… okay. Then I’ll send you back to that hell!”

It is true that this choice is a wiser choice, but I closed my eyes tightly in regret.

But something unexpected happened to me and Pablo.

[The test has already been carried out with suitable test subjects in zone 0.

-You cannot move to area 0.]

“?”

“???”

The first embarrassment was my embarrassment.

No, I had a slight thought that maybe something like this could happen.

That’s why he used the skill called Outstanding as soon as he confirmed Pablo’s popularity for the first time.

But Pablo seemed to be more than three times more embarrassed than I was.

By blankly looking at me with only my eyes wide open.

That’s why he reacted slower than me.

“Ice Prison! And the ice field!”

Currently, his intelligence reached 33500 with a limited skill called Extraordinary.

Maybe that’s why, unlike before, a completely different ice prison and ice field unfolded.

Of course, Pablo must have had a lot of experience, so the existence that had clearly entered my senses became blurred.

A defense using the characteristic of ‘penetrating walls’, which obviously boasted an almost invincible power to me.

“Ice Storm! pouring hail! Ice Lane!”

However, the presence of the obscured Pablo attacked towards the position.

And soon after, a strange sound was heard.

Punk!

There was nothing to break.

However, the sound of something breaking was still heard, and soon something in the form of a human appeared.

Exactly Pablo.

“Uh-huh… uh… how…”

“Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrows!”

Pablo with his eyes wide open.

But without mentioning anything to him, he continued to attack without end.

There’s no need to give me any clues.

And Pablo ended up with that.

“First of all, thank you. I got a lot more than I expected.”

Unable to hide his bewildered expression, he spoke lowly toward the seat of the dead Pablo and moved back.

At that time, Russia.

bang!

Pablo threw down the 3rd generation virtual reality connector and stood up.

“This… this… it doesn’t make sense!”

Everything didn’t make sense.

Obviously, Ashirante was the subject of the 500 level limited arena quest just before.

And it was impossible to progress even if it was only level 501.

By the way, the message that you are a suitable test subject.

But Pedro couldn’t hold on to that idea any longer.

Because the moment I was killed by Ashirante, a message rang.

[Talent ‘Break Through Walls’ has been destroyed.

-Permanently disables the attribute ‘Break Through Walls’.]

Pablo stayed silent for a while longer.

The end
