Closed Beta I Played Alone

195 episodes. All buffs, all debuffs (1).

Level 1500 Hunting Grounds of Titan.

puck. puck. bang. bang.

As of yesterday, the hunt continued without change, and if I added a little lie, a message rang out while I was hunting in almost trance.

[The matching opponent of the King of Kings to select the strongest has been decided.

-10 seconds later, it moves to the arena.]

He was not surprised by the sudden message, as he expected it to ring around this time.

And soon he felt like he was being dragged somewhere, and the battlefield he had seen dozens of times appeared before his eyes.

[The duel waiting time is 30 seconds.

-30 seconds after the battle starts, you can use & replace buffs and items before that.

-If you win a battle, you will automatically advance to the next tournament, and the loser will immediately end the event.]

I've seen this message dozens of times already, so I wasn't nervous and looked at the other person through the transparent wall.

Of course, the person on the other side is also the winner of one of the 40 districts, just like the 11th district I belong to.

So it will be strong.

But he was confident.

Because this was a 'Revival Legend', there is no restriction on the realization rate, and moreover, just before, a whopping 14,000 stat points increased at once.

And a little too much for my mouth, but it gave wings to an almost invincible tiger.

However.

"Damn it. Your first opponent is Ashirante?”

Clearly, the area is different, so an opponent I have never met in ‘Revival Legend’.

But my name is already known too much to not know me.

That is why, as soon as they saw me, the other party recognized my identity.

And then.

“Abstain!”

[The opponent has abandoned the duel.

- You have won. Advance to the next tournament.]

“……”

Of course, it wasn't just one or two abstentions.

Even in the event to select the strongest player in District 11 just before the current King of Kings battle, he withdrew from almost all confrontations in the second half.

But now it's the King of Kings.

Moreover, this time, I wanted to fight rather than win.

Not only monsters, but I also wanted to test how strong I was against the strongest in a zone.

But as soon as they check me, the other person withdrew immediately.

I couldn't help but be disappointed.

That's why, without realizing it, a word came out of my mouth.

“Maybe… the next match, no, won’t we win all the Kings of Kings by abstaining?”

next day.

It was originally said to consist of 40 districts and had 40 people, but it started with the round of 24 with 16 people abstaining.

And we started our first round of 24 with a win by abstention.

[The opponent has abandoned the duel.

- You have won. Advance to the next tournament.]

“……”

They also won the round of 12 with abstention.

Like the opponent we met in the round of 24, ‘Damn! Is my luck up to this point?’

Of course, it wasn't that he felt bad because he accepted the desired outcome no matter what the process was, but maybe it was a bit of a letdown?

I felt a little bit like that.

And the moment I was about to log out to eat dinner after resolving that frustration toward the monster, a whisper rang out.

[Ultimate beauty: Hong Jooyoung. When are you going to log out?]

[lumen: I'm going to do it now. Why?]

[Transcendence Beauty: Is it? Then log out and stop by the 3rd study room.]

[lumen: Okay.]

I was going to log out anyway, so I ended ‘Revival Legend’ without asking any more questions.

After that, I moved to the 3rd study room.3rd living room.

Already in the study room, there were my father, older brother, and older sister, and Seok In-soo, the head of the office.

“Then Jooyoung is here too, so let’s start.”

"Yes."

As soon as I sat down, my dad said something to Seok In-soo, and Seok In-soo took something out of his arms.

Just a memory ball.

With him, Insu Seok opened his mouth softly.

“It is a marble of memory from Osaka, Japan.”

I had my doubts about the word Osaka, Japan, not Korea, but first of all, I was silent.

If this wasn't a big deal, you wouldn't even have called me.

That means it's a big deal.

Anyway, after those words, Director Seok In-soo activated the memory marble, and soon a video appeared in the 3rd study room.

Quajiic. bang. bang.

A downtown area lined with skyscrapers.

In particular, with the neon sign of Glico Man running with his arms raised, it was not difficult to guess that that place was Osaka, as the manager Seok In-su said.

However, the neon signboard for Glico Man, a specialty of Osaka, was torn down as it was.

Not to mention other buildings.

Furthermore.

“Big!”

"Sa... save me!"

"Damn it! Stop those monsters! Stop it!”

A situation that is almost equivalent to Abigail.

So, I had no choice but to say a word.

“Is the fact that we couldn’t stop it until it became a low point, did a very powerful monster appear unlike before?”

There was only one reason why the world was still in order despite the monsters pouring out.

That it is possible to sort out the monsters that are pouring out from the very beginning with the weapons that mankind had from the beginning.

In other words, if that was not possible, all areas except for the tail of a rat would have been taken away by the monster.

Even more so because there were few people who raised the realization rate at that time.

However, while watching the video, I had no choice but to ask a question.

It's just that there are no monsters in sight.

Along with him, a scene in which a person who seems to have achieved a tremendous realization rate relentlessly kills ordinary people caught my eye.

Of course, the situation can be seen as a crazy psychopath playing 'Revival Legend' and getting very strong, then making that riot.

But it never looked like that.

And it didn't look like it was possible for a crazy psychopath to increase his ability and realization rate like that.

So, I had no choice but to open my mouth.

“Are they… NPCs from the US?”

Those who said that President Xi of China was not an NPC, but that the United States was an NPC.

However, since there is still no alternative language to call them, Myeongjin internally decided to call them NPCs for the time being, and Director Seok In-su opened his mouth to my question.

"Yes. They are being comprehended. However, it is presumed that they are several times or even dozens of times stronger than the man in the video handed over by Holdledge at that time.”

Certainly, those in sight now seemed to be incomparably stronger than the man in the video handed to him by Holdledge.

Therefore, those who raised the realization rate, including the Japanese Self-Defense Force's attack and Japan's Mitsuya Guild, were helpless.

“By the way, what does that look like now?”

"no. The situation in the video was about half a day ago, and now it is known that the Japanese government and all guilds, including the Mitsuya Guild, have formed an all-round siege network and are in a state of lull.”

“Is there no contact from the Japanese government or the Mitsuya Guild?”

“Not yet.”

Naturally, I had to be concerned.

Especially since I heard President Xi's words.

But it was a little too much for me to go out.

Obviously, the relationship with the Mitsuya Guild, which had almost taken over Japan further, was not very good.

In fact, he even fought a fierce battle.

First of all, after about an hour of talking, the meeting ended with the intention of observing the situation a little more.

next day.

[The matching opponent of the King of Kings to select the strongest has been decided.

-10 seconds later, it moves to the arena.]

With a total of 24 players, it is now the 6th round following the round of 24 and 12.

Due to the previous rounds that were not easy and futile, I did not have high expectations for this round.

However.

“If I met Ashirante in the semifinals, it wouldn’t be too bad luck. Moreover, as a magician of the same ice family, I was curious about his skills.”

Unlike his previous opponent, the opponent he faced in the semifinals did not choose to abstain.

And seeing that, I couldn't help but smile a little on the corner of my mouth.

“Retribution Ice!”

As soon as the 30-second battle standby time is over and the transparent wall in the center of the arena disappears, even though the enemy's attack flies towards me.

bang!

After that, the punishment ice that stuck to me as it was.

Of course, level 8 skills such as punishment ice and ice tornado were not exclusive to me.

Anyone can learn it as long as they have the ability.

And if you are the strongest person in one of the 40 districts, and if it is an ice magician like me, it was very natural to acquire punishment ice.

but.

“?”

I can't use punishment ice on my own, so this is the first time I've actually been subjected to punishment ice.

And the punishment ice I used has never disappointed me.

Because it was over in just one shot, whether it was a level 1500 monster or something.

So, while putting a smile on my lips, I was nervous as much as a mouse tail.

However.

“Is it really punishment ice? What kind of damage is so weak?”

Punishment Ice, which can be called the final version of the single existing skill at level 8.

But even if it was weak, it was too weak.

And the other party seemed to be a little embarrassed by my reaction.

“Well… don’t lie! No matter how much Ashirante you are, I am also a loser in one area. I'm never weak! Ice Tornado! blizzard!"

hee hee hee.

puck. puck. bubbly bubbly. puck.

Blizzard is probably level 7.

Since there are no clues about the level 9 skill so far, skill functional rings are not so common.

That's why, even though it's legendary, it's treated like a myth.

And the ice tornado turned out to be different from when I used it.

In other words, the ice tornado I used was accompanied by a gust of wind that pulled everything around it.

However, the ice tornado used by the other party did not have such a gust of wind.

It just created an ice whirlwind.

Of course, the damage was no more than I expected, and it was too pitiful.

And by that time, the other party seemed to feel a little strange.

Because I'm not even acting in a single role right now.

"Huh... Is Ashirante Ashirante?"

Of course, I had no intention of doing the same thing as comforting someone like that.

To be honest, saying that you can become like me if you work hard is bound to be a lie.

So instead, I handed over the skill that I first used to him towards him.

“Retribution Ice.”

bang!

“Big.”

Apparently, the opponent is a magician.

However, it may not have the same stamina and vitality as mine, so I fell down in one shot like a 1500 level monster or other people.

Naturally, the following message rang.

[lumen, Ashirante has won.

- Advance to another tournament.]

And then I was moved back to the original place where I was on Titan, and I continued hunting as if nothing had happened.

In the meantime, of course, there was one question.

as soon as.‘Even if the rounds of 24, 12, and 6 are the same, now there are only 3 people left… So, is it a bye?’

In the past, there were only an even number of people, but now there are three people who are odd numbers.

Whether or not there is one more step by bye, the win will be mine anyway.

After that, after hunting until late at night, I logged out and met Chief In-soo Seok and asked about Osaka, Japan.

But after that, there was no further information.

I didn't even open my hands to Myungjin.

“Are you sure you won?”

“Well… that’s right.”

In response to Director Seok In-soo's question, he spoke as if nothing had happened.

Because nothing really happened.

next day.

[The matching opponent of the King of Kings to select the strongest has been decided.

-10 seconds later, it moves to the arena.]

With that message, the battlefield appeared.

But it was different from usual.

For that reason, the additional sounding message was also different.

[Currently, there are 3 people remaining.

-This match will be played by 3 people, and the last person will be the final winner.]

I never thought that I would put the remaining three people in at once.

And, perhaps the same for the other two, through the transparent wall, there was a clear sign of embarrassment.

Moreover, in a normal situation, it is a situation where there is no choice but to fight fiercely with 2:1 instead of 1:1:1.

In fact, the sound of two people quickly rolling their eyes to and fro over the other side covered by a transparent wall could be heard up to here.

However.

fuck.

“Is it better?”

Anyway, the fact that there is no bye means that this one match ends.

That means I don't have to wait until tomorrow, so I had to like it.

So, unlike before, I shouted first as soon as the transparent wall divided into thirds, not second, disappeared.

“Retribution Ice.”

bang!

“Big.”

Naturally, I used the Punishment Ice on the one holding the big bow, not the one holding the sword and shield.

Obviously, there is a high probability that a person wearing a one-handed sword and a shield is also one-shot, but it is the closest to the correct answer in battle to deal with those who can handle it first.

and.

“Ice Tornado.”

hee hee hee.

A whirlwind of ice that occurred in an instant.

"Damn it. what? What is... so powerful!”

A gust of wind that lifts even the titan, a level 1500 monster and boasts a huge size, into the air as it is.

In addition, the power of the gust was enormous, perhaps because it increased by more than 7000 at a time compared to before.

That's why.

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As much as he could, he pulled him up until he made a deep furrow.

One more skill was used in that figure.

It would be better to deal with it sooner rather than later.

"blizzard."

puck. puck. bubbly bubbly. puck.

The only level 9 skill I have as a skill functional ring.

Therefore, the opponent, who was already under the influence of the ice tornado, collapsed without any resistance when it overlapped with Blizzard.

If it's the last final and it's shabby, the result is too shabby.

But for me, this was natural.

And until then, I collapsed like that, and a male message rang alone in the arena.
