Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 49

Episode 49. As expected.

“Log out.”

In the meantime, logout has always been done by moving to the safety zone, even if it takes a little longer than in the hunting grounds.

As with other games, this was a measure to prevent an accident in which a sudden battle occurred without being prepared because there were monsters around when logging in, especially during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closed betas.

Even if I die and get a 24-hour lockout penalty, my grand plan to burn everything in the game for two weeks will be severely disrupted.

Of course it’s in the past.

It’s not arrogance and arrogance, but now, no matter how many monsters are around, it’s at a level where you don’t feel threatened.

It was just level 200.

But it became a habit and I’ve always done it so far.

But until yesterday.

Soon in front of me, a ceiling that was significantly lower than my room in the main house appeared.

In that state, he got up from the bed and moved to a desk in one corner of the room and sat down on a chair.

Open your notebook and hold a ballpoint pen in one hand.

“Did you catch about 200 people?”

I got 10 hunting parties of exactly about 20 people.

Of course, I wanted to get more hunting parties, but unlike the first 7 hunting parties in less than an hour, for the next 3 hours, I could only get 3 hunting parties, even though I searched all over the place.

Moreover, after catching the last 10 hunting party, not even a single user was found, let alone a hunting party.

In other words, all that remains now is the enemy’s main force.

So I logged out in a remote place.

I wasn’t really tired before the full-fledged enemy’s main force, but I thought a little rest was essential.

“It’s a bit disappointing, but 200 people is enough.”

It seemed that the tomb of surprise had been sufficiently saved in its own way.

enough to satisfy myself.

And apart from that feeling of satisfaction, other emotions also settled in my mind.

as soon as.

“Did you have so much fun? That’s why there were so many people using the arena.”

I’ve never had a fight with a user like me.

Of course, not only in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd games of ‘Forgotten Legend’, the predecessor of this game, but also in any other game.

And I had no intention of making a decision.

It’s not a duel, but all battles for users are basically divided into winners and losers, and in the meantime, fierce competition beyond hard work is essential.

The game was a haven, a resting place, and a refuge for me.

Efforts were welcome enough.

Because the game never paid back my efforts in vain.

But the fierce competition in the haven, the resting place, and the haven was not what I wanted.

So I thought that there would be no battles with users for the rest of my life.

Of course, the first battle was a battle with 11 Daesung guild members in the anthill.

But at the time, I wasn’t really impressed.

because it’s too casual

The fight ended before I even felt anything like that.

Of course, that was the case this time as well.

But 10 parties. In other words, there was a time difference, but there was enough time to feel something different from the time when fighting with a total of 200 people.

Something that can be roughly defined as excitement.

“Heh heh.”

In an instant, laughter broke out.

Is it fun?

No, because I felt that I was a little sly, a laugh leaked out.

If it was at the same level as when I did the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closed betas in the past, without the remaining stat points received from 3 nonsensical characteristics, 4 titles, and outstanding performances, I wondered if I would feel the same emotions as now. .

And you can answer that question right away.

No.

never.

But that thought didn’t last long.

Because I am a very ordinary person with greed and desire, not a monk who mastered everything.

“great. Then, shall we eat and rest for today’s overtime work?”

The clock showed 18:30.

Just a good time for dinner.

And I don’t plan on going straight to the connection I’ve always had after dinner.I’m just going to sleep in advance.

Because the battle is about 5-6 hours.

During that time, the Gahwa Guild could not use his hands properly and had to watch as nearly 200 guild members die helplessly.

Of course, after 24 hours, you will be connected again sequentially, but for this moment, you will be in a state of total tension.

Because the culprit who caused the fatal damage has not been caught yet.

So I’m going to make it more tense.

And they will log in around dawn when fatigue builds up from the accumulated tension.

Even though there was already a significant gap, I got plenty of rest and was so tired that I spent almost 10 hours in vain.

I will do my best for that.

By making the situation as favorable as possible for me, just as a lion does its best to catch a rabbit.

rocky safety zone.

“Fuck! pup! You bastard to dip in a poop and fry!”

Guild leader Kang Seok-tae of the Gahwa Guild kicked the ground as if he didn’t care what other people looked at and spit out all kinds of abusive language.

Because the death of more than 200 members of the guild was also dead, but the fact that all hunting for stone squirrels had been stopped made Kang Seok-tae very unpleasant and annoyed.

“Damn it! Does it make sense that he killed more than 200 people and no one took a video?”

Of course, from Kang Seok-tae’s point of view, I was curious about his identity.

Of course, since the number of dead was the number of people, there were a lot of testimonies.

But Kang Seok-tae wanted to see him with his own eyes, saying that seeing once is better than saying a hundred words.

And at that time, the executive with the ID Maxcal, who was the first to report the intruder to Kang Seok-tae, answered in a low voice.

“That’s because memory beads are so expensive…”

“Damn it. You don’t have to take a picture though! Is the marble of memory important in this situation?”

However, Maxcal’s neck fell into the heel book that came out of Kang Seok-tae’s mouth.

Of course, Maxcal also had a lot to say.

The probability that a general guild member has an expensive memory marble is low, but even if he does, there is a slim chance that Kang Seok-tae will pay a reasonable price for it in the future if he uses it.

But Maxcal didn’t say that.

Because it was obvious that no good words would come out to Kang Seok-tae.

“By the way, haven’t you found it yet?”

“Yes. Apparently, the rocky area is the largest and most expansive of the hunting grounds belonging to these pioneers’ cities, so it is difficult to find him. However, if you divide the number of people and conduct a wide search and come across him, you know…”

“Damn it.”

Kang Seok-tae spit out abusive language at Maxcal’s slurred words.

Because it has already been proven by several testimonies that only 20 people will not do even one damage to the intruder.

So Kang Seok-tae gathered all the small number of people who guarded the entrance to the city of the pioneers and some hunting grounds.

It was more damaging to not being able to hunt for an hour with a stone squirrel here than not being able to pluck the money from the children’s noses there for 24 hours.

Of course, Kang Seok-tae still did not like the situation.

Because he deliberately did not recruit a strong man as a member of the Gahwa Guild.

However, he did not provide any support for growth by selecting guild members who showed special talent.

To that extent, for Kang Seok-tae, the Gahwa Guild was a team to be used up, not something to be strengthened for expansion or growth.

Its purpose is solely to be the undigested mineral mass of stone squirrels.

swoosh.

Kang Seok-tae sent three raids of 300 people into the rocky area and looked around the remaining 400 people in the safety zone.

Considering the 200 people who died and received a 24-hour lock-in penalty, the total number of members of the Gahwa Guild of 1,500 were gathered here.

‘By the way, I’m not going to be pushed to 300 people, right?’

Ice magician.

Moreover, an ice-type wizard with excellent attack power.

In light of that, Seok-Tae Kang judged that his physical strength and vitality would be low.

Because that’s a reasonable inference.

So, he formed a party of 300 and put in a party of 300 people, judging that he could be caught even if he succeeded in attacking only once, not twice.

30 minutes before 1 am.

“connect.”

I connected to the game with a fresher and clearer mind than ever before.

Of course, there was some tension.

There is a chance that there will be enemies nearby as soon as you log in.

However.

Whew.

it was quiet

Only a few stone squirrels run and play from afar.

bum bum.

First, I walked slowly.

Still holding some tension.

Because the Gahwa Guild was treated so harshly, they won’t repeat the same mistake.

So, I thought that there is a possibility of facing a greater number of enemies than I thought.

For example, 200 people who have been dealing with for 5-6 hours at a time.

But knowing it, I was neither afraid nor very nervous.

Rather, it is expected.

20 minutes later.

could find

The first 200 you expected? No, the enemy of numbers that far exceed it.

And at that time, a famous proverb used in the game flashed through my mind.

That is the saying, ‘There is no business in Taguri’.

That is why we know that the difference in numbers in all fights is a big variable that cannot be ignored.

But when I faced the Gahwa Guild directly, they were weaker than I thought.

Of course, that didn’t mean it didn’t make sense.

In other words, I was looking for a member of the Gahwa guild and couldn’t find it, so I took a moment to catch a stone squirrel.

And I was able to confirm the experience points that were almost nonexistent as much as a rat’s tail.

Even if you hunt for a few days or a few days, let alone level 1, you will not be able to get less than 10% of the level of experience.

In other words, I fully understood why the members of the Gahwa Guild were so weak.

So, the number that exceeded 200 and seemed to be 300 did not feel intimidating at all.

It was rather sad.

Without skills like Blink.

If there is only Blink, if you dig into the center of those 300 people and use Ice Field and Flesh Ice on the spot, you can inflict great damage.

However, it can be learned naturally by raising the level, so he shook his head and blew away the regrets.

and ran right away.

frankly?

No, they moved behind 300 people and sneaked.

Because that’s how lions hunt rabbits.

“Damn it. What are you doing this morning?”

“So.”

“I am not tomorrow, now I am today. I have an appointment this morning…”

“Would you like to just log out?”

“a. Didn’t you hear what the guild leader said? You have to deal with him.”

“Damn it. The guild leader, that greedy bastard. If it’s me, I’ll stick my money back to that crazy guy and fix it. What are you doing this nonsense for? I had already heard how strong he was.”

“It’s because you’re a greedy piglet. What’s more, it’s from the kids who have already died, so it seems that the intruder is also greedy for lumps of minerals. At that moment, the decision was made. that they are incompatible with each other.”

“What the hell is that mineral mass that makes it a competitor?”

“I don’t know. Because even that piglet, the guild leader, never said anything else.”

only money.

Because most of them belonged to the Gahwa Guild just looking at the money, this situation was not scary for them.

But nonetheless, no one logged out.

Because it was a sure thing to make money.

And then, a loud cry from a member of the Gahwa Guild, who was moving at the back, erupted.

“Mi… that’s crazy! That’s him!”

That call was the starting point.

One-on-one 300 fights.

An enemy who screams out loud as soon as they find me.

But it’s already too late.

As I expected, they only had a lot of numbers, but they were moving without motivation because they were tired.

That’s why I didn’t even know I was getting so close behind them.

And what’s left?

“Ice Field! And superimposed thin ice!”

Passionate!

An ice field that penetrates deep into the enemy’s camp in an instant.

“Wow!”

“Fuck!”

“what? How can an ice field do this kind of damage?”The situation in which only two pieces of ice were used, including the ice field and the thin ice that would provide strength to the ice field.

However, the two camps of 300 people were cracked.

Of course, it wasn’t completely cracked.

“Powershot!”

“Triple shot.”

“Fire Arrow!”

“Summons. fire spirit. Spirit of Fire.”

“Slow. Slow.”

：

“The power of a curse will rest upon the enemy. weakness!”

“Ice Field.”

“Chain Lightning.”

“Exploding fireworks!”

Wherever you go, there are pearls in the mud.

Of these 300 people, at least 10% seemed to be pearls.

So about 30 people in the midst of that, counterattacked me.

A situation where only 4 skills were used.

But with that, half of the enemy, no, nearly 70% of the personnel disappeared.

And, unfortunately, the 30 people who did not avoid it and did a counterattack like a counterattack fell into the 70% category.

In other words, the rest of the people are mischievous.

“Earl prison! Ice Spear, Multiple Ice Arrows.”

For the enemies that were a little bit clumpy, they tied them up in an ice prison, and blew ice spears, multiple ice arrows, ice balls, and ice bolts to the enemies who couldn’t hide their dazed expression because 70% of them died in an instant.

And that’s it.

Enemies who had given up their rebellion could not properly dodge various attacks that were approaching them.

Whew.

Obviously, a seat that had close to 300 people occupied before.

But in a moment, they all disappeared.

And looking at the missing person, words came out without me knowing.

“I… you are really strong.”

Of course I knew.

Objectively, I am very strong.

Pride and arrogance are also objects of caution, but excessive humility is also a subject of caution.

But I haven’t been able to feel it that way.

Of course, even if it was 300 people who were weaker than I thought.
