Closed Beta I Played Alone

Episode 223. engrave.

A week later, Myungjin Shelter.

"Well..."

A lot has happened in the past.

The four doors located in the north, east, west, and north were opened wide and those who left Myeongjin Shelter were induced to leave voluntarily.

No, he even scared me by saying that there is a 99% chance that I will be killed if I stay here.

However.

“Even if I die, I will die here!”

“Abandon us, but please do not!”

“If you don’t kick me out, I want to stay with you!”

Of course, Myeongjin Shelter was not created for charity, so it was first accepted as those related to Myungjin.

After that, I accepted those who would be helpful to Myungjin Shelter.

In other words, most of the people living in the Myeongjin Shelter were people who had formed ties with Myeongjin for quite some time and were not strangers.

That's why, despite threatening to die if I stayed here, everyone refused to leave.

Even if I die, I want you to die with me.

But nonetheless, everyone was taken out of the Myongjin shelter.

After a week, monsters will come pouring out again, and if that happens, it will be difficult to even get so many ordinary people out of Myongjin Shelter without taking any damage.

However, there are still those who do not leave the outskirts of Myeongjin Shelter.

First of all, I didn't do any more than that.

Other than that, there wasn't one or two things to worry about.

Just by pulling it out of Myungjin Shelter, the urgent fire was put out.

And even after that, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to connect to 'Revival Legend', but he didn't show up even after a week had passed.

No monsters appeared.

So I couldn't help but wonder.

It was the first time we met, but I didn't see any kind of consideration or recognition from him at all.

Rather, it is only full of intense greed and desire.

However, he did not know when he would suddenly appear, so he could see someone approaching Myongjin Shelter when he was not relieved of tension.

Of course, he wasn't the one who had visited Myeongjin a week ago.

However, the reason I couldn't help but stare was that the person slowly approaching Myongjin Shelter was a child.

Moreover, he was a common man.

What's the matter?

It had to be a problem.

It's unrealistic for a child to move alone like that in today's world.

And the child delivered a note to the guards guarding the shelter in Myungjin, and soon afterward, Chief In-su Seok brought the note to me.

“It is said that they are sent from the Lucia Guild. With the words to pick it up and deliver it to Ashirante-sama.”

I was puzzled by the note delivered in an odd way, but first I received the note and opened it.

Then a sentence appeared.

[Unfortunately, I couldn't make a kite this time, but I'll see you again with a good kite next time.

-Lucia Guild Guild Leader.]

“……”

not long sentences.

Of course, there was no evidence that it was a real message from the Lucia Guild.

But I knew intuitively that it was real.

Because he wasn't the kind of person to back away so easily.

He was obviously the one who regretted not having me further cornered.

So he had to question him from the time he bit the monster as if he had to evacuate safely a week ago.

Because he couldn't do such a thing.

He didn't show any signs of that until he disappeared from the Myungjin Shelter.And that's what it means.

‘It must mean that there is a reason why you have no choice but to retreat.’

Of course, I can only guess why he had no choice but to retreat.

The monster does not appear.

Otherwise, there was no reason to release the caught fish again.

With him, something else popped into his mind.

The white roots that appeared with the red line wrapped around the body.

It coincided with the time when the monster disappeared.

First of all, I organized my thoughts there and opened my mouth to Seok In-soo, the head of the office.

“The director… I don’t think we need to.”

"Yes?"

Even now, the situation is very busy with preparations for moving.

In particular, I had to take a lot of things.

However, when I told him to stop moving at first, Director Seok In-soo raised his eyes wide, but he didn't care and opened his mouth again.

“There will be no more monsters. So, unpack your luggage. Instead, Lucia. Please proceed with the investigation of the Lucia Guild more in-depth than before.”

"...Yes. all right."

Of course, he may be rushing with just a single note.

Maybe it was his craft to keep the common people inside the shelter in Myungjin again.

However, looking at his self-confidence as well as greed and desire, an unexpected accident must have occurred.

It must have been that the accident was no longer able to summon monsters to Myongjin Shelter.

That's why, while sending such a note, his face, which must have been frowned upon, fell into disrepair.

Of course, that didn't help.

There is only one thing I need to pay for this insult.

just his death.

'okay. Next time, I will pay you back for this shame!’

Starting with the appearance of the first monster, this event has been going on for almost three months.

It caused enormous damage to the entire Myeongjin, but to be honest, it was only me who suffered the most.

For the first month, I was able to log in to ‘Revival Legend’ intermittently, but after that I couldn’t log in at all.

Moreover, the period of not being able to connect at all overlapped with the period when 40 areas were merged into one area and the double experience event was held.

In the end, we couldn't even proceed with the double experience event, and even though it was an event where we were confident that we would get first place, we weren't even in the first place at all.

So, the culprit of this day, the Lucia Guild, had no choice but to rise in great anger.

But he is patient because he doesn't know where he is.

Anyway, I was busy again unpacking the moving items and restoring the places that had been neglected and damaged.

Still can't access 'Revival Legend'.

First of all, I had no choice but to do all the hard work to protect Myungjin Shelter, but I had to pay my respects.

That way, you can inspire more loyalty towards Myeongjin.

It was always important to finish well, just as the evaluation is not good if the ending is bad even if the beginning is good.

a few days later.

Access ‘Revival Legend’.

[Access to ‘Revival Legend’]

It's been almost two months since I logged in.

Of course, there was room to connect.

But I deliberately didn't connect any more.

because of resentment and resentment.

So I even trembled a little after a long time connecting.

And the first place you connect and find is the land of the 1500 level hunting ground Titan.

"tanker! Tanks block the way!”

“Just bring in 10 or so!”

“Start with the guy in front of you and organize it one by one.”

"Yes. Exploding flames!”

“Chain Lightning.”

“A pouring storm.”

“Piercing Power Shot!”

puck. puck. bang. bang.

Well, quite a bit of time has passed since then.

In the case of the previous expedition to Borneche alone, they spent close to two months in a place called the New World, and this work has been going on for almost three months.

That's why there were quite a few people hunting on the land of the 1500 level hunting ground Titan.

Myeongjin, Mirae, and the Tugal Guild, as well as Daesung and Gusan, and the Mitsuya Guild of Japan.

First of all, it wasn't very strange, so I passed them and quickly moved inside.

Of course, those who welcomed me greeted me, but I replaced it with a slight nod of my head.

In order to be compensated for the time I have not been able to access ‘Revival Legend’ in the past, every minute and second of greeting was wasted.

and.

"blizzard!"

puck. puck. bubbly bubbly. puck.

[Greek!]

[Uh-huh!]

Growth has stagnated for nearly two months.

But that didn't make me weak.

That is why the Titans collapsed with autumn leaves in my blizzard, which unfolded straight away without ice fields or thin ice.

“Big. This is it.”

An exclamation of admiration for that sight.

It felt even more exhilarating because it had been a long time since I tasted it.

But then the message rang.

[It is connected with the ancient energy that deals with monsters.]

"Huh?"

absurd message.

And the random messages kept ringing.

[I am not a direct owner of 'ancient aura to deal with monsters'.

- Fails to assimilate monsters.

- Succeed in engraving a monster.

- Fails to buff the recognition of monsters.

- The monster command buff fails.

: You can use monster engraving.]

“…are you?”

Of course, the person asking the question is the white root.

But, as always, there was no answer.

So, without waiting for an answer, I quietly opened my mouth.

It's a better choice to focus on the message that's ringing right in front of you than holding on to the white roots that won't give you an answer even if you ask a hundred or a thousand times.

"Confirm. Monster engraving.”

[Monster engraving.

-You can imprint a monster into your body to acquire the unique properties of that monster.

: How to engraving a monster.

-After using monster engraving, catch a monster of the same type and accumulate its properties up to 100%.

- It is possible to accumulate 0.001% of properties per animal, and engraving is possible when 100% is accumulated.

-If you catch any other type of monster before reaching 100%, you will lose all the properties you have accumulated.]

“0.001% per cow?”

0.001% per head meant that in the end, to achieve 100%, you had to catch exactly 100,000.

At the same time, you should never catch other monsters.

Of course, it didn't look that difficult.

Because my hunting speed is incomparable to others.

"use. Monster engraving.”

First of all, in order to know in detail what is something, there is nothing as certain as trying it yourself, so I used monster engraving.

Then a message rang.

[I used monster engraving.

-After that, the first monster you catch becomes the target of engraving.

-If you catch another monster on the way, all accumulated properties will be deleted and the target of the engraving will be changed to the newly caught monster.]

As soon as the message was over, I immediately gathered the Titans with the cooldown zero blink and organized them quickly with an ice tornado.

and.

“Monster imprint.”

[Monster engraving status.

-Currently accumulated monster: Titan.

-Current accumulation achievement rate: 0.019%

: Acquires the following properties when engraving a Titan by achieving 100% accumulation.

-Increases strength stat points by 3000.

-Increase stamina stat points by 3000.

- Acquire rigidity. (Reduces all damage received by 10%.)]

“Hey…”

Of course, the physical strength will be bad because of the growth together.

But taking it out wasn't too bad.

No, it had to be good.

Because this was not something that was given equally by leveling up, items, or skills like others.

In particular, the Power 3000 was very attractive.

I've had a lot of fun with melee attacks using the 7-reinforced Ice Emperor's Guardian Sword, and the Power 3000 will enhance the fun even more.

Not to mention the 10% reduction in all damage.

“Heh heh.”

A momentary laugh.

There was a goal that had to be done.

The reward given for achieving that goal was very sweet.

There was a situation where I had no choice but to laugh and catch it.

And now I can be sure.

It was the roots that stopped the monsters that appeared in Myungjin Shelter.

Moreover, it was not just the engraving.

There was also a fairy tale.

So I sang the roots with the utmost affection.

[.......]

The white roots did not show up.

But I didn't care.

Because it was from the beginning.

Instead, it ran straight to the Titans.

To catch 100,000, there is not enough time to rest.

***

While Hong Jooyoung is hard at work catching the Titan.

Peek out.

Something slightly appeared from the ground.

Then he checked out Hong Jooyoung and dug into the ground again.
