Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 325
Advertisement
I obtained a total of 60,000 tradable coins for destroying the statue inside the Holdridge headquarters in America. I handed over half of them to my family, and kept the other half. Besides, I obtained another 20000 coins by winning the event to choose the strongest player in Region 11.
In other words, the coins I now possessed numbered 75,000, thanks to 30,000 tradable coins and the 45,000 normal coins. Since I had no reason not to do so, I started using them right away.
Of course, I used the general coins instead of the tradable coins that had a much higher value.
As a result, I increased my reality actualization rate by 5% to 70%.
"As expected, you are very strong!"
Jihy Suh expressed admiration watching me get rid of the monsters easily, but I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Well, this is a piece of cake. By the way, you said you can call Yuljung Kim privately?'
"Yeah, I can. Since I'm subordinate to him, I can message him within Revival Legend. He must be very upset because I haven't shown up and responded to him for about a week. So, if I let him know where I am, then he will come running straight to me, no matter what."
"Got it."
When I didn't show any particular reaction to her reply, she continued, "Wouldn't it be better if I called him separately?"
"Of course, it would be better because I would not have to fight the whole of North Korea."
As she said, if I could deal with Kim by himself, I would not have to think about dismantling or collapsing North Korea, so I nodded at her suggestion.
After that, I traveled with her to a remote place where she would call Kim.
Half a day has passed since I walked with her to the north.

It was not difficult for us to cross the demilitarized zone (DMZ) as it was not defended by anybody. After we crossed it, we continued north for a while, and soon we reached a cave that was too large to be called simply a cave.
"Oh…"
"I heard that they conducted various experiments secretly here under Kim's direction in the past. So few people know about it."
"Got it. It looks like a good place for me to deal with Kim secretly."
"Right. Do you want me to call Kim? He'll probably show up in 30 minutes or maybe even 20 minutes, given his personality. He could have transferred a total of 70 stat points during the one week when I was missing, so he must be very angry right now."
"Yes, go ahead. Let me hide first, then when Kim shows up, I will kill him."
"Sure."
After that, we ironed out the details of our little plan, then I hid myself in the corner of the cave.
10 minutes later.
Apparently, Kim was even more impatient than she imagined. He showed up in less than 10 minutes after she called him.
Without saying anything, he briskly walked to her and slapped her.
Slap!
She collapsed immediately as soon as he slapped her.
But he opened his mouth uncaringly.
"How dare you run away from me when you will have to come back like this? Do you know how many stat points I lost in one week because of you? 70! As many as 70!"
As she predicted, Kim vented her intense anger, mentioning the loss of 70 stat points.
Watching Kim abusing her like that, I felt sorry for the fact that she was oppressed and persecuted by Kim rather than being welcomed appropriately as befitting her enormous talent.
So I revealed myself and slowly approached Kim and Jihye.

***
Inside the huge cave.
Since Juyoung appeared so proudly as if he had no intention of striking Kim first or hiding himself from the beginning, not only Jihye but also Kim could quickly figure out who the man approaching them was.
At that moment Kim turned and shouted to Juyoung as if he knew he was going to appear.
"Change!"
Then, light flashed on both Kim's body and Juyoung's body before fading away.
After that, there was silence, which didn't last long because Juyoung burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
He kept laughing heartily as if he was having so much fun. He was laughing his head off, slapping his thigh with his arm. So much so that his lower jaw almost looked like it was going to dislocate.
Then he opened his mouth, raising his arms high as if he was celebrating.
"Done! I finally got him! Hahaha!"
Juyoung was talking to himself as if he wasn't interested in Kim and Jihye at all. Then he was about to open his status window with a grin when Kim said, "It looks like you're in a good mood"
"Hahaha, of course, I am! Well, should I call this getting the best of Asirante? Man, how come you are so calm even after receiving that message? I would go crazy as if the sky fell down."
"Really?"
"Of course. Oh, I'm not sure if what I have to say is comforting to you, but your body is not that bad. I've raised lots of things because I can't trust Change alone to leave you as you are like this. Especially, Jihye behind you helped me a lot. By the way, I'm not sure if you can use your body after you get out of this cave."
The conversation went on as if Juyoung became Yuljung, and Yuljung became Juyoung.
In fact, after Kim shouted 'Change!' the moment Juyoung revealed himself, Juyoung received a message instantly.
[You are subject to Change.
- Your body is changed with the other party's.
: The changed body includes everything including stat points, titles, traits, skills, etc.
: The items you currently have equipped and all the items kept in your inventory are also included in the changed body.
: After you are successfully integrated into the other party's body, your limited skill will also be deleted.]
In other words, using Change, Yuljung Kim went into Juyoung Hong's body, while Juyoung went into Yuljung's body.
Kim was all smiles now because he took Juyoung's body which was deliberately buffed up by using Jihye's abilities as he planned. But Juyoung was too calm.
So Kim had no choice but to stop laughing.
Then he continued doing what he stopped doing a moment ago.
"Check status window."
[Name: Yuljung Kim.
Level: 1
Titles: None
Health: 110/100 Mana: 110/100
Strength: 10 Agility: 10 Stamina: 10
Willpower: 10 Intellect: 10
Remaining stat points: 10
Remaining skill points: 0
Traits: Subordination (target of subordination: Jihye Suh)]
[You have not yet raised your reality actualization rate.
- Accordingly, you can't use power in reality.]
"…"
Kim couldn't say anything when he checked the status window before his eyes.
Then he opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
"Uh? What the heck is this? How come…"
In Kim's mind, there were no loopholes in his plan. That's why he lured Juyoung here.
Change was limited to a one-time use. So, he could not change his body with somebody else's anymore.
Kim had no choice but to feel a sense of despair, far beyond his embarrassment and astonishment.
At that moment, Kim could hear another voice from the cave that was not his, Jihye's or Juyoung's.
