Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 59
Advertisement
My Stamina and Heath were so high that I didn't need to avoid or stop their attack, even though I was a wizard with the lowest Stamina and Health.
"Whew! I didn't mean this from the beginning…"
I didn't take the titles into account when I set up Mutual Growth, for I never expected I would get as many as four titles. But I prioritized my Stamina because I had a hard time because of low health during the first, second, and third closed betas,
In particular, if I died, I received the penalty of being denied access for 24 hours, aside from the loss of EXP. So, I had to pay more attention to it back then because unlike the first and second closed betas, it would be impossible for me to achieve the maximum level if I died in the third closed beta by mistake.
Anyway, I was in a difficult situation, so I thought of using another skill, the Ice Emperor's Guardian Sword.
"Oh, that's why I got this Ice Emperor's Guardian Sword?" I thought to myself.
Aside from my Health, my Physical Strength was almost 5,000. It wouldn't stop at a certain point, but continue to increase endlessly in the future.
Although I didn't mean it, I've cultivated the basis for simultaneous attacks while resisting any close-range attacks. Of course, it's a pity that my Stamina and Agility are relatively low. Even though I have a Level 3 Ice Weapon, it's not enough.
But if a Level 2 Ice Weapon attached to the Ice Emperor's Guardian Sword itself is added to a Level 3 Ice Weapon that I'm going to upgrade later, it'll become a Level 6 level ice weapon.
Despite the fact that the magic of the Ice Weapon itself is maximum Level 3, it will absolutely be applied to the ice-type magic. In particular, the Iceman's trait.
"Oh my...I'm afraid I am going to be a wizard who has cleared his mind."
Lamenting like that, I used Ice Field and Pouring Hailstones successively.
I don't know what will happen later, but at this point I'm a wizard whose main force is magic.

Of course, I'm better than anybody else in not only Intellect but also Physical Strength, Willpower, Health, and mana.
Three days later.
"Multiple Ice Arrows! Ice Ball! Ice Bolt!"
Puk! Puk! Puk!
"Kiheek!"
"Kuuuuuek!"
I just concentrated on hunting in the muddy swamp areas for three days, so much so that I didn't miss even one minute on my schedule. Nevertheless, I wasn't sick and tired of it.
Rather, I found it more and more interesting because I could see myself getting stronger.
But it seemed that others didn't think so. That's why the Kahwa Guild member, a security guard at the Safety Zone of the muddy swamp, checked me this morning and looked at me strangely as if he was looking at a monster because I came in and out of the place at the same time every day. Besides, whatever the guy who sold me the shabby boots for 70,000 golden rings said was ridiculous.
"Well, I think I lost money when I sold you the boots for 70,000 golden rings. If I knew you would come here every day, I wish I had asked you for 200,000 golden rings. There are rumors that you have hunted almost all the monsters since you got here."
How ridiculous! In particular, I snorted at his last words. Moreover, he began to speak to me in an informal tone as if I was his friend. If I had no goal of achieving Level 200 in 3 days, I wanted to fire Multiple Ice Arrows into his mouth immediately.
But I just smiled at him, ignoring what he said because I still needed seven more levels to achieve Level 200. So, except for three short logouts for my lunch, dinner, and a brief break, I could confirm the seventh message right before 1 PM, which I was looking forward to.
[You have leveled up.]
"Huhhhhhh."
I smiled in satisfaction because I had achieved my goal. And there was another message.
[You have acquired 3 skill points by achieving Level 200.]

I've got three remaining skill points to acquire new skills.
"Check the status window."

I was only Level 174 four days ago. Except for Sunday when I attended the special meeting disguised as a business leaders' meeting, I went up 26 levels in about 3 days.
"Wow..."
Whenever I looked at the status bar, I uttered exclamations naturally because my performance was so stunning. So, I looked at it for a long time, then invested all 260 remaining stat points in Intellectual Power. And I turned back because time was up and I needed to make a decision.
As it was, I turned my feet around. Now it was time to make a decision, although it was still up in the air.
The Safety Zone gate of the muddy swamp areas.
"Howdy, you have come early today."
As expected, the Kahwa Guild member spoke to me informally as soon as he saw me. So, I just nodded and passed by him without responding at all. And I moved to that remote place where I met Kihanna exactly three days ago.
Tramp, tramp.
As it was inside the swamp Safety Zone, which was not that big, I could see someone already waiting for me there. Of course, she was the NPC called Kihanna, who was a slave who, along with her clan, made 'Pioneers' City' as a slave.
"Hello. Asirante."
Kihanna bowed to me, calling me by the pseudonym I gave her.
I replied the same way, "It's nice to meet you. By the way, you have come here on time!"
She showed up at the appointment time exactly on the third day since our first meeting.
"Because it's very important to me."
"Good. Then let me listen to your story."
Anyway, I was the one who had to accept her request or not, so I waited for her next words, folding my arms. At that moment, a message rang.
[Quest: 'Light the lamp of hope for the Salte clan.'
-The Salte clan was one of the northern races who fell into slavery after experiencing defeat in the war.
*The victorious king suggested to the Salte clan that they cultivate a remote and ragged land visited by none and develop it into a good city. He promised to free them from slavery if they could do so. Concerned about the future of their descendants, the Salte clan accepted the king's proposal. Then they moved to this remote place to build Pioneers' City with toils and sweat. However, by the time Pioneers' City became known to the outside world, a group of people stormed and robbed the Salte clan of the city they were in the process of building with their own efforts. Moreover, they received money from users other than themselves, and Pioneers' City turned into a ghost city that even those who know this place no longer visit.
So the Salte clan wants you to drive the Kahwa Guild, the unauthorized occupant, out from Pioneers' City.
-Grade B quest: Expel the Kahwa Guild and return Pioneers' City to the Salte clan.
-Rewards:
: 8.5 million golden rings.
: A considerable amount of EXP.
: 500 coins.
: 50 remaining stat points.
-Grade A quest: Expel the Kahwa Guild and help the Salte clan develop Pioneers' City into a good city with a good name. (Even if Pioneers' City is prosperous, it is impossible for them to be freed from slavery if they don't receive a good city name from the king.)
-Rewards:
: 25 million golden rings.
: A considerable amount of EXP.
: 1500 coins.
: 300 remaining stat points.
: Random box that comes along with one accessory bordering the 'precious' and 'legend' grades.]

Condemned
“The human body is a fragile thing. But the soul... The soul is malleable. Easily tainted. All it takes is one drop of blood to dye it all red.” Long ago, in a time remembered only by a few, the seven lords of Syvernia, led by the Great Hero Ludwig, ended the Great Calamity that plagued humanity for as long as time itself. It was the dawn of a new age of man. . . until the thirst for more poisoned the new lords. Slowly, the thread that held humanity together loosened and a thick haze consumed the lands between. Mysterious vanishings, supernatural forces, and silence warns of a looming threat inside the coat of fog. Though the struggle of the realms did not interest Leor, for he was condemned as a Purblight, until he took a seemingly simple job: escort Alden to Lightendale and collect the handsome reward, a reward that would let him live the rest of his life with ease. But it’s never that simple, especially for someone who denounced the Gods. All his life, death followed Leor everywhere he went, cutting down his friends and family. When his first love died at the hands of an agent of light, he was prepared to throw everything away until a mysterious voice promised him a chance for retribution and a chance to bring her back by completing the seven trials. Thrown into the realm's struggle against the approaching haze and themselves, will Leor, a Purblight and an acquaintance of tragedy, use the very power he disdains to accomplish his goals? This is the rewrite of my novel: Condemned; I changed it to past tense and added/ took out some ideas from the original. This is essentially the first draft since I'm writing as I go. Also, there might be or might not be Gore, Sexual, or Traumatizing content. I only put it there for a disclaimer in case I want to add it. I have no set release schedule yet, but I'll try to post once every 2 week. Thanks for your patience.

A Loner's Calling
Additional Tags: Weak to OP, Ruthless Male Lead Ren, a high school student, was summoned along with his classmates to another world. Their job was to unite the 10 continents warring with each other. Unlike wars among countries, wars across continents were in a whole other league. Death was always nearby, creeping near to take away your life. Luckily, they were given abilities by the God in order to cope with their lack of experience, as well as a one month protection inside the heavenly dome for training, preventing their death. But Ren however, was given something else entirely. “[Loner] title activated, declining invitation to heavenly dome. Remaining in current world…” _____________________________________________________________________ A/N: Ok, so for those wondering about my other fiction, it's still alive. I plan on continuing it, and I plan on posting the next chapter for it about on or after Christmas. The reason for it was because all of my plans, layout, even outline, as well as some chapters I was suppose to release were deleted thanks to a mishap by my classmate. That really triggered me so I got unmotivated, but I plan on continuing it so don't worry. Also, I plan on writing this new series, much more because there is no more classes (CHRISTMAS BREAK HERE I COME!!!), sadly, I still have to take a removal exam because I failed one of my subjects (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!) Well anyway, that's enough for me, enjoy!
