Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 290
Advertisement
Once we were all seated, Director Sok said, "Let me brief you about the level 1200 regular quest. First of all, the participants in the level 1200 regular quest can organize their own teams in advance to proceed with the quest unlike the level 400 and level 800 regular quests where the teams were randomly selected."
When he said that, the level 400 regular quest, 'Stop the Scorpion King', came to my mind.
As soon as I moved to the Desert Scorpion Forest, the place where the quest was taking place, I was automatically selected to participate in the quest regardless of my intentions and I was randomly assigned to a thirty man defense squad. And apparently it was the same with the level 800 regular quest. But this time, the teams were supposed to be formed in advance.
Since it was definitely different from previous quests, I listened to Director Sok carefully.
"We can form a team of up to 10 people. Of course, we could form a team of 9 or 8 players instead of 10, but that doesn't mean the quest's difficulty will go down, so we concluded that it is best to fill the team with exactly 10 people. After registering a team of 10 players, you can do whatever you want until the registration period is finished. Once the registration deadline is over, you are supposed to move to the quest location immediately."
There was nothing special about his brief so far.
He continued, "Now I would like to mention something special about the new level 1200 regular quest. For your first challenge, the rewards you will gain from the quest will be doubled. Of course, the reward details haven't been revealed yet. And the important thing is when you move to the quest location, you can only use one of the things you possess."
Although it wasn't clear what the reward was, I could not help but reinforce my determination at the fact that the reward would be doubled.
But I felt bitter upon hearing his words because being able to use only one of the things I possess meant that I could not mobilize all of my current capabilities to challenge the quest.

Maybe that's why I started disliking this one particular word after playing 'Revival Legend'. It was none other than 'fairness.'
In other words, in some of the quests and events that I had participated in, everything I had disappeared overnight, so I was at the same level as other players which became very troublesome for me at times. Somehow, I was afraid that the level 1200 regular quest this time was in the same category.
Anyway, Director Sok continued to brief us about the new level 1200 quest, but there were no other surprises.
The new quest had not been opened yet, which means there was no certain information about it.
What really matters right now is the composition of the team.
If I could use all of my abilities, I would be very confident, but I shook my head slightly because clearing the quest this time would not be as easy as I thought.
However, I have been performing so wonderfully until now. Besides, I'm a direct family member of the head of the Myongjin Group, so we formed a team of my family members and Myongjin's ace members including Director Sok.
So once the meeting finished, I went back to the Land of Titan and resumed hunting.
While hunting, I took a brief break and moved to the central square of Rodon Castle with some people, including my family members, and formally registered our team as 'Myongjin No. 1'.
After that, I returned to the hunting ground.
A few days later.
30 minutes before the level 1200 regular quest registration deadline.
At the Myongjin Guild's headquarters.
"Juyoung, why are you so late?"
Originally, I was planning to come 10 minutes before the meeting time, but I was 30 minutes late instead.
As soon as I appeared using Blink with zero cooldown, I was scolded by my sister.
I didn't mind her scolding, so I just shrugged at her.
Then I looked at Team No.1 that I belonged to.
Not only my father, my mother, my brother, sister but also my brother's wife was included in the team because she was now part of my family.

The team had six people from my family including me, and four ace players from Myongjin including Director Sok. Obviously, our goal was to win first place.
That's why all our family members gathered together here.
Dad opened his mouth, looking at all of us.
"According to Director Sok, we can only use one of the things we possess after moving to the quest location. But I don't know exactly whether it refers to an item, a skill, or a stat, but we're going to proceed as we discussed in advance."
"Yeah!"
"Okay!"
Actually, we discussed how to proceed in advance.
Both the level 400 and level 800 quests involved defending against monsters. Based on that, it was highly likely that the level 1200 regular quest would be the same, so it was essential to divide our ten member squad into tanks, dealers, healers, and enchanters.
"Juyoung, let me leave the division of the team to you," said my father.
"Got it, Dad."
Nobody including my father forced me to make any particular choices.
Of course, I had a plan in mind.
If I could use an item, I would use the +6 Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword, and if I could use a skill, I would use level 8 Ice Tornado.
So, I just waited for 30 minutes until a message rang.
[Lumen, Asirante has applied for the level 1200 regular quest as part of the team named Myongjin No.1.
-Do you wish to proceed with the level 1200 regular quest?]
"Yes."
As soon as I said that, I felt like I was being dragged somewhere, and soon a new area that was neither big nor small appeared before my eyes.
A hut existed in the center of the area, with three roads spreading out from it in different directions.
Thanks to my abundant experience, I could figure out what I was supposed to do here.
In other words, the mission of my team was to defend the hut.
Of course, the monsters that would attempt to destroy the hut could appear on any of the roads.
And it seemed I wasn't the only one who noticed it.
"So, our mission is to defend this hut?"
"Ten people blocking the three directions?"
"Then, should we block them with two three-member groups and one four-member group?"
Most of the team, including my father, seemed to share my view.
While we were looking around, another message rang.
[The Level 1200 regular quest is 'Protect the Last Shelter.'
-This is the only shelter left in the Jaya Plain, a plain blessed by the goddess.
-If this place is lost, only darkness will prevail in the Jaya Plain.]
[The Level 1200 regular quest starts with everyone starting from scratch.
-But you can only start with one of the things you possess. (When you select an item or skill, all of its equip or use restrictions will disappear.)
-This is a list of Lumen, Asirante's current possessions.
: 67,533,851,764 golden rings.
: 100% enhancement success right.
: 2 ancient cooldown removal harms.
:
: +6 Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword.
: The Forgotten Hero's Cloak.
: Functional skill ring.
: +5 Enhancement ring Sacred Permanent Snow Spirit ring
:
: Level 5 Multiple Ice Arrow.
: Level 4 Blink.
: Savant
: Level 7 Blizzard.
: Level 8 Ice Tornado.
:
: IceMan.
: Mutual Growth.
: God of Enhancement.]
"..."
There were many more options than I expected.
So it was difficult for me to choose which one because I didn't know which one would definitely help me here. Moreover, considering that this was the level 1200 regular quest, it would be a very long time until I could challenge it again, and the rewards were also doubled this time.
At that moment, however, something caught my attention.

Silver Fox and the Western Hero
Author's Note. This is book 7! Please feel free to hop on and enjoy! If you find you like my writing style, I hope you'll check out the first 6 books, all available to read on Kindle Unlimited, link below!) Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out! And I will continue to post chapters to Book 6 here first, until that tale is told! I hope you enjoy!
