Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 14
Advertisement
Of course, I regretted the number of other users that I killed in the field of honor or in the field, but I was confident that my S grade in the first closed beta, S in the second one and SS in the third one would be in the highest or top ranking group.
Actually, it's probably safe to say that I am No. 1 gamer rather than vaguely putting myself in the highest ranking group. I was the only max level achiever in the third closed beta according to the message which gave me a huge bonus.
I laughed at that moment because I could see the possibility that I could shine very brightly in the world like my ID 'lumen.'
"Whew! Good. Confirm the title for the last time."
This title is only given to a user who has achieved the maximum level in the first, second, and third closed betas.
Health increased by 300,000.
Mana increased by 300,000.
All stat points increased by 500.>
"Ugh? What the heck is this?"
As soon as I confirmed the title, I shouted unconsciously because there was something ridiculous there.
When I achieved Level 300 right before the closing of the third closed beta, my maximum health was less than 150,000. It was because I invested most stat points including items in intellectual power, so I depended on the extreme ice-type wizards that mainly depended on attack power.
But this time, I gained 300,000 health as soon as I began.
Besides, I gained 300,000 mana and a total of 2,500 stat points as a result of adding 500 to each stat.
I was taken aback by the huge bonus benefits.
I pinched my cheeks with my fingers unconsciously and felt a slight pain.
Of course it was a virtual pain caused by my brainwave recognition.
"By the way, why are they so generous?"
I was so happy when I obtained Iceman and Mutual Growth as bonuses.
But when I obtained the 'God of Enhancement' trait and the title of 'The only closed beta max level achiever, I could not help but think that the bonuses were excessive.

It was as if the game company was trying to do away with the balance of games.
Of course, I was not the only one who received the bonuses.
There were lots of max level achievers in the first and second closed betas aside from the third one where I was the only max level achiever.
"Hm."
At that moment, the intro video I watched right after I accessed the game came into my mind.
The video mentioned those who woke up to power.
"Are they the users who achieved the maximum level in the first, second, and third closed betas?"
I thought they might be.
But I wondered whether those who didn't participate in the first, second, and third closed betas or those who participated but didn't achieve the max level were now participating in the new game without receiving any bonus traits.
After all, inequality at birth among people existed in the real world.
But in the new world of games, everyone invested because of the conviction that everybody had the same starting line.
Of course, there were people like me who played games because they were given a bonus for their hard efforts.
Anyway, the bonus I received was absurd given the principles of fairness and equality in the game world.
But I didn't question it for long because it was not something I had to go through the trouble of agonizing over.
And I possessed one too many bonuses.
I was not good enough to bring up the issue of the excessive bonus unfairness.
While I was sorting out my complicated thoughts, another message rang.
When the message disappeared, I suddenly felt like I was sinking into the bottom that signaled the real start of the game, and I smiled broadly at that feeling because I was confident in shining so brightly that others could not even compare. Yes, incomparably.
Thud!
Soon I felt like I had set foot on real ground like I did in the real world.
It was a thrilling moment that I experienced through virtual reality after a long time.

But I opened my mouth right away because there was something more important than such feelings.
"Confirm Status!"
I was so curious about how it would appear.
Level: 0
Kills: 0. Deaths: 0
Title: The only closed beta max level achiever
Health: 350,000/350,000 Mana: 350,000/350,000
Strength: 510 Agility: 510 Stamina: 510
Willpower: 510 Intellectual power: 510
Remaining stat points: 1,000
Remaining skill points: 1,000
Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Strengthening.>
Obviously, my level was 0.
In other words, I was like a beginner, but my records were too brilliant.
Even this expression 'brilliant' was not sufficient enough to describe my status.
In other words, the status bar that appeared before my eyes was a far cry from basic common sense in the game world.
In particular, I have already experienced the first, second, and third closed betas where I achieved as high as Level 300.
I was dumbfounded by the status bar all the more because Level 0 was similar to Level 300.
Of course, when the Strength, Agility, Stamina, Willpower and Intellectual Powers were combined, the total was much higher than Level 300.
Aside from level, the number of stats increased when I put on the item fit for that level at that time.
But I still had 1,000 remaining stat points to allocate.
And this number was not just 1,000, but 2,500 because I had the 'Mutual Growth' trait.
Aside from that, however, my Health and mana were much higher despite my Level 0 status.
So, I stared at the status bar for a while because I was far from tired of watching it.
Besides, it fit my ID lumen which meant 'shine' or 'light' so well.
It'd been 30 minutes since I accessed 'Revival Legend.'
"Hm."
Of course I didn't spend 30 minutes just blankly looking at the status bar.
Just like I did in the first, second, and third closed betas, I had to decide on something before taking out the stick from the inventory and start beating scarecrows.
I had to choose the stat that could be the parent of Mutual Growth, the first stat that would grow with the parent stat by 100%, and the second one that could grow by 50% because I could not obtain EXP unless I set up Mutual Growth.
Of course, the answer was already there because I had the 'Iceman' trait before I received Mutual Growth.
The trait had the power to increase the performance of all ice-type skills by 30%. So, it would be really foolish of me to give up this power.
In other words, the stats that would be the parent stat of Mutual Growth was Intellectual Power.
Obviously, the fighting style was only for ice-type wizards.
Nonetheless, the reason why I was agonizing so hard was because I hadn't yet chosen the first stat and second stats that would grow with this Intellectual Power.
In particular, my possession of 'The only closed beta max level achiever.' title, 350,000 health and 350,000 mana at Level 0 made me even more troubled because that was twice the maximum health and mana I had in the third closed beta.
So, I imagined choosing Power for the first stat that would grow by 100% with Intellectual Power as the parent stat, and Agility for the second stat.
In that case, the attack from ice-type wizards will inflict huge damage thanks to high Intellectual Power and Iceman. In addition to that, the physical attack with the same power as Intellectual Power would also show an enormous impact, just like a master archer or assassin.
Then my framework will be complete as the emergence of the so-called Wizard Swordsman which was once very popular in the first, second, and third closed beta.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
