Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 393 - Level 1600, Level 1700, and Level 1800 (5)



Chapter 393 – Level 1600, Level 1700, and Level 1800 (5)

The next day.

In the level 1700 hunting ground, the Land of the Dead.

Yesterday, there were quite a few people at the entrance to the hunting ground.

But it was empty now. Of course, I expected it to some extent, so I stepped into the hunting ground without hesitation.

Then a message rang.

[You currently have ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs’.

-You are in the Land of Death, but it doesn’t affect you.]

I already expected to receive such a message.

“All of them gave up hunting here?”

There were no hunters inside either.

Was there any possibility of somebody hunting deep inside like me?

That was impossible.

I didn’t know because I had never experienced the cumulative debuff, but those who actually experienced it said that it was impossible to hunt more than one hour.

That meant that if they wanted to hunt at all, they must hunt as close to the entrance as possible. Anyway, this had nothing to do with me, so I went deeper to find the monsters.

When I was done herding the monsters, I used my usual skills.

“Ice Breath!”

Bang!

Wheeeeeeeeeng!

This was not the first time I used a level 9 skill.

I had already used the level 9 skill Blizzard with the help of the functional skill ring.

Without any doubt, level 9 Ice Breath boasted of destructive power incomparable to Level 9 Blizzard because those monsters within the striking area of Ice Breath vanished as if they evaporated in an instant. Level 9 Blizzard never had such an effect.

Of course, it might be unreasonable to simply compare Blizzard, an AOE skill, with Ice Breath, which was closer to a single-target skill, but there was a big difference between the two in terms of damage. And its attack area was pretty narrow as the skill description indicated.

But as I expected, the attack area was not extremely narrow.

For my intellect, my traits, and my items were far from ordinary.

Moreover, if I upgraded my Ice Emperor’s guardian sword to +15 Enhancement, and my intellect increased, the area targeted would be much bigger than right now, so I was very satisfied with Ice Breath.

“Great. Then all I have to do right now is to imprint the traits of monsters in nine days?”

Of course, I was confident in doing so because the debuffs that would normally accumulate at a rapid rate did not affect me.

To be honest, this hunting ground was little different from the level 1600 hunting ground except for the debuffs.

So I charged at the monsters like before.

6 days later.

In the level 1700 hunting ground, the Land of the Dead.

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

A message rang while I was running around hunting as if I owned this whole hunting ground.

[You have acquired a 100% accumulation rate for the Pawn of the Dead.

-You will acquire the traits of the Pawn of the Dead.

-You can keep up to 3 traits.

-You need a 30-day cooldown to replace your imprinted monster trait with another one.

-Your traits (3/3)

: Titan, Dark Elf Dyed in Darkness, Pawn of the Dead.

-Your activated trait.

: Titan.]

Since there was still one slot left, I immediately used monster imprinting right after entering this place. Of course, I didn’t like this hunting ground even though its level was 1700 because the trait that the monsters here offered were not better than the Titan triat I obtained in the level 1500 hunting ground.

[Pawn of the Dead.

-When you imprint the monster, you will obtain the following trait.

: Stamina increases by 5000.]

Even though it was the trait provided from the highest level monsters that I had hunted until now, all it offered me was 5000 stamina .

In addition, I saw no other stat point options, Titan’s rigidity or a 5% increase in attack range when using the arrow of the Dark Elf dyed in darkness.

I suspected this would occur, but since there was still one slot available, I increased the accumulation rate to 100% because I could delete it later anyway.

Anyway, I still had quite a bit of time left before I moved to the level 1800 hunting ground, and level 1400 was not my ultimate target, so I charged at the monsters again.

***

10 days into hunting in the level 1700 hunting ground Land of Death.

[You have met the conditions for moving to the level 1800 hunting ground.

: Stay connected for at least 10 days in the 1700 level hunting ground for 10 hours a day – Success.

: Kill 10,000 monsters in the level 1700 hunting ground – Success.]

After confirming the message, I exited the hunting ground right away.

I also started wandering around the entrance of the hunting ground starting one hour ago so I could exit quicker when the time was up. Even if lots of competitors could no longer compete in the event due to the level 1700 hunting ground, I could not rule out the possibility of somebody outfoxing me.

Shortly afterwards, I arrived at the level 1800 hunting ground.

First of all, there was no one in front of the 1800 level hunting ground that I had claimed first. But it was still too early for me to be happy, so I quickly stepped towards the entrance.

Then, unlike the previous level 1700 hunting ground, I could enter right away. A message rang as soon as the hunting ground appeared before my eyes.

[Congratulations! You have entered the level 1800 ground first in the ‘Reach the 1800 level hunting ground first’ event.

– As a reward, you receive the following reward.

: 3 billion golden rings.

: 1000 remaining stat points.

: 30,000 coins.

: A large amount of EXP.]

“Wow!”

I exclaimed unwittingly because it was a pretty good reward.

Especially the large amount of EXP thrilled me.

But there were no skill points which disappointed me a lot.

Perhaps because I saw the power of level 9 skills in the previous hunting ground, I had become greedy for skill points.

However, I stopped dwelling on it anymore because skill points, like EXP, were not given easily as rewards.

In the meantime, messages kept ringing as if I wasn’t allowed to be distracted by other thoughts.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

:

[You have leveled up.]

Since I reached level 1400, the messages about my level-up didn’t ring as many times as before. So I felt really good about it.

When the messages stopped ringing finally, I opened my mouth softly.

“Check status window.”

[Level: 1417

Number of kills: 11582, Number of deaths: 0

Titles: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 12 others.

:

:]

“Well, this is good enough. Besides, I’ve just reached level 1400.”

First of all, I invested all of the 170 remaining stat points I obtained by leveling up, and the 1000 remaining stat points I acquired as a reward this time, in my Intellect.

At that moment, my Stamina increased by 1170 and my Willpower by 585.

After that, I closed the status window after checking the Stamina that was close to 70,000 because of the effect of my Titan imprinting as well as my Intellect that was in the mid 80,000s.

And then I went straight ahead.

After a while.

“Um… Oh my god. Do I have to say I’m really lucky?”

The monsters that haunted this level 1800 hunting ground were ancient spirits.

However, there were a total of four types of ancient spirits with different appearances.

They were ancient spirits that were either red, brown, gray, or blue.
