Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 12
Advertisement
Of course, I turned my eyes elsewhere because what was important was not the background.
"Confirm the download details."
"Run Revival Legend."
I wasn't tense or nervous till this morning, but I was now.
Even though they changed the name of the game, it was obvious that Revival Legend was Forgotten Legend that I used to play.
In no time the intro video appeared.
It was different from the first one about the fierce fighting among humans, the second one about the invasion by numerous monsters and the third one about the restoration of the ruined land by humans.
At that time, I skipped the intro videos quickly because I didn't have time to watch them leisurely because of the two-week time frame.
But I didn't skip them this time.
Since it was formally opened, it had no time restriction like the closed beta. Besides, it was in service for more than three years, so I didn't have to worry about a wider gap just because I spent several minutes watching the intro videos.
"Hm."
I was not sure if the current intro video was connected to the previous ones, mostly because I saw that the humans were done with restoring the ruined land energetically.
It was a period of cultural renaissance.
But the period in the video didn't last long because of the emergence of those monsters who awakened their special abilities.
If one had power, it was human nature to want to show it off.
That's what they did in the intro video.
Humans rose up, resisting crackdowns and oppression, which led to war.
And the battle spread like wildfire with the sharp increase in those who gradually woke up to their new power, then it ended in flames.
"Great. It's been made well."
I liked the intro video a lot, which I watched from start to finish because it was more colorful and magnificent than any other video.

Then the same wheat field I had always seen in the first, second and third closed betas unfolded in front of me.
"Oh, this has not changed!"
Soon my figure appeared like a hologram before my eyes.
"Um…"
I was a bit hesitant because in the first, second, and third closed betas, the system created a character that looked like me.
Besides, I didn't need to decorate myself because it would be reset in two weeks anyway.
Of course, the character must be me even if I change it a little bit.
But for some reason, I didn't want to change it.
Since I decided to be a game addict, I thought my current figure was the best for the job.
"Good. Just basic! Even if I choose 'just basic,' nobody will recognize me."
Except for the boss monster raid, I always played games alone, and I chose my current figure without any reservation because it changed according to the items I wore.
"Lumen!" I said it quickly because it was like my alter ego.
It reflected my wishes to be a shining figure even in the game world, not reality.
"Yes."
I completed creating my character and choosing an ID.
When I closed my eyes, preparing for the next move in a moment, a series of messages popped up.
"Oh!"
Sometimes some small bonuses were granted to users who participated in the closed beta.
Actually, I experienced it in other games, too.
So, I slightly uttered hooray because the reward was given to those who achieved the max level only, and I achieved the max level in the first, second, and third closed betas.
It was a petty reward, but I happily waited for the next message.
Number of monsters (including the boss monster) you killed in the first closed beta: SSS grade

Number of users you killed in the first closed beta: F grade
Item grade you had at the closing of the first closed beta: S grade
Golden ring grade you had at the closing of the first closed beta: S grade
Skill grade you attained at the closing of the first closed beta: A grade.
Lumen's final grade in the first closed beta is S grade. You have been awarded the following trait: Iceman.>
"...I thought they would give me a title to raise my stat points or a useful item for beginners."
Fairness or balance.
In my opinion, they were two important factors in games.
So, I thought it was going to be a petty reward, which was prevalent in the game world.
But the message that appeared before my eyes was very systematic.
In particular, the attribute named 'Iceman' didn't look common.
So, I shouted right away, "Confirm Iceman trait."
Doesn't feel cold.
Complete immunity to frostbite.
Increases ice-type skills by 30%.
Increases the probability of damaging the opponent when you attack with Ice Weapon.
Reduces incoming ice-type damage attacks by 30%.>
"..."
I played the first, second and third closed beta games, and I only used ice-type wizards.
That's how I knew how absurd it was for the performance of all the ice-type skills to increase by 30%.
It meant that Iceman was the most extraordinary trait among the many ice-type wizards. For example, between two players at the same level with the same equipment and skills at the last stage, the 30% gap will bring about a huge difference. The 30% was not to be reckoned with as the other player wouldn't be able to catch up
For example, if my strength was 100, the addition of 30% will only increase it by 30, but when the number goes up to 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, or above that, the 30% will increase the skills exponentially.
Besides, reducing all ice-type wizard damages by 30% will make me their natural enemy or predator by turning the same ice-type wizard into a rat before a cat.
"...Is it because I only chose ice-type wizards in the first, second, and third closed betas?"
I could not find any other reason when I wondered why I received the trait called Iceman.
So, I laughed unconsciously because I still planned to use ice-type wizards even now when they changed the name to Revival Legend.
While I was smiling at that, another message rang.
Number of the monsters (including the boss monster) you killed in the second closed beta: SSS grade
Number of the users you killed in the second closed beta: F grade
Item grade you had at the closing of the second closed beta: S grade
Golden grade you had at the closing of the second closed beta: SS grade
Skill grade you attained at the closing of the second closed beta: A grade
Lumen's final grade in the second closed beta is S grade. You have been awarded the trait 'Mutual Growth.'>
As I had already experienced it, I immediately shouted out loud.
