Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 14
Advertisement
Of course, I regretted the number of other users that I killed in the field of honor or in the field, but I was confident that my S grade in the first closed beta, S in the second one and SS in the third one would be in the highest or top ranking group.
Actually, it's probably safe to say that I am No. 1 gamer rather than vaguely putting myself in the highest ranking group. I was the only max level achiever in the third closed beta according to the message which gave me a huge bonus.
I laughed at that moment because I could see the possibility that I could shine very brightly in the world like my ID 'lumen.'
"Whew! Good. Confirm the title for the last time."
This title is only given to a user who has achieved the maximum level in the first, second, and third closed betas.
Health increased by 300,000.
Mana increased by 300,000.
All stat points increased by 500.>
"Ugh? What the heck is this?"
As soon as I confirmed the title, I shouted unconsciously because there was something ridiculous there.
When I achieved Level 300 right before the closing of the third closed beta, my maximum health was less than 150,000. It was because I invested most stat points including items in intellectual power, so I depended on the extreme ice-type wizards that mainly depended on attack power.
But this time, I gained 300,000 health as soon as I began.
Besides, I gained 300,000 mana and a total of 2,500 stat points as a result of adding 500 to each stat.
I was taken aback by the huge bonus benefits.
I pinched my cheeks with my fingers unconsciously and felt a slight pain.
Of course it was a virtual pain caused by my brainwave recognition.
"By the way, why are they so generous?"
I was so happy when I obtained Iceman and Mutual Growth as bonuses.
But when I obtained the 'God of Enhancement' trait and the title of 'The only closed beta max level achiever, I could not help but think that the bonuses were excessive.

It was as if the game company was trying to do away with the balance of games.
Of course, I was not the only one who received the bonuses.
There were lots of max level achievers in the first and second closed betas aside from the third one where I was the only max level achiever.
"Hm."
At that moment, the intro video I watched right after I accessed the game came into my mind.
The video mentioned those who woke up to power.
"Are they the users who achieved the maximum level in the first, second, and third closed betas?"
I thought they might be.
But I wondered whether those who didn't participate in the first, second, and third closed betas or those who participated but didn't achieve the max level were now participating in the new game without receiving any bonus traits.
After all, inequality at birth among people existed in the real world.
But in the new world of games, everyone invested because of the conviction that everybody had the same starting line.
Of course, there were people like me who played games because they were given a bonus for their hard efforts.
Anyway, the bonus I received was absurd given the principles of fairness and equality in the game world.
But I didn't question it for long because it was not something I had to go through the trouble of agonizing over.
And I possessed one too many bonuses.
I was not good enough to bring up the issue of the excessive bonus unfairness.
While I was sorting out my complicated thoughts, another message rang.
When the message disappeared, I suddenly felt like I was sinking into the bottom that signaled the real start of the game, and I smiled broadly at that feeling because I was confident in shining so brightly that others could not even compare. Yes, incomparably.
Thud!
Soon I felt like I had set foot on real ground like I did in the real world.
It was a thrilling moment that I experienced through virtual reality after a long time.

But I opened my mouth right away because there was something more important than such feelings.
"Confirm Status!"
I was so curious about how it would appear.
Level: 0
Kills: 0. Deaths: 0
Title: The only closed beta max level achiever
Health: 350,000/350,000 Mana: 350,000/350,000
Strength: 510 Agility: 510 Stamina: 510
Willpower: 510 Intellectual power: 510
Remaining stat points: 1,000
Remaining skill points: 1,000
Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Strengthening.>
Obviously, my level was 0.
In other words, I was like a beginner, but my records were too brilliant.
Even this expression 'brilliant' was not sufficient enough to describe my status.
In other words, the status bar that appeared before my eyes was a far cry from basic common sense in the game world.
In particular, I have already experienced the first, second, and third closed betas where I achieved as high as Level 300.
I was dumbfounded by the status bar all the more because Level 0 was similar to Level 300.
Of course, when the Strength, Agility, Stamina, Willpower and Intellectual Powers were combined, the total was much higher than Level 300.
Aside from level, the number of stats increased when I put on the item fit for that level at that time.
But I still had 1,000 remaining stat points to allocate.
And this number was not just 1,000, but 2,500 because I had the 'Mutual Growth' trait.
Aside from that, however, my Health and mana were much higher despite my Level 0 status.
So, I stared at the status bar for a while because I was far from tired of watching it.
Besides, it fit my ID lumen which meant 'shine' or 'light' so well.
It'd been 30 minutes since I accessed 'Revival Legend.'
"Hm."
Of course I didn't spend 30 minutes just blankly looking at the status bar.
Just like I did in the first, second, and third closed betas, I had to decide on something before taking out the stick from the inventory and start beating scarecrows.
I had to choose the stat that could be the parent of Mutual Growth, the first stat that would grow with the parent stat by 100%, and the second one that could grow by 50% because I could not obtain EXP unless I set up Mutual Growth.
Of course, the answer was already there because I had the 'Iceman' trait before I received Mutual Growth.
The trait had the power to increase the performance of all ice-type skills by 30%. So, it would be really foolish of me to give up this power.
In other words, the stats that would be the parent stat of Mutual Growth was Intellectual Power.
Obviously, the fighting style was only for ice-type wizards.
Nonetheless, the reason why I was agonizing so hard was because I hadn't yet chosen the first stat and second stats that would grow with this Intellectual Power.
In particular, my possession of 'The only closed beta max level achiever.' title, 350,000 health and 350,000 mana at Level 0 made me even more troubled because that was twice the maximum health and mana I had in the third closed beta.
So, I imagined choosing Power for the first stat that would grow by 100% with Intellectual Power as the parent stat, and Agility for the second stat.
In that case, the attack from ice-type wizards will inflict huge damage thanks to high Intellectual Power and Iceman. In addition to that, the physical attack with the same power as Intellectual Power would also show an enormous impact, just like a master archer or assassin.
Then my framework will be complete as the emergence of the so-called Wizard Swordsman which was once very popular in the first, second, and third closed beta.
