Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 28
Advertisement
She suddenly glanced up and down over me with a sad eye and said, "By the way, it looks like you must have had a hard time…"
"Ugh?"
I was embarrassed by her unexpected words, but I knew immediately she reacted like that because of the items I was wearing. In fact, the items I was currently wearing were quite inadequate for a Level 100 user to wear, no matter how poor I was.
On the other hand, my sister was gorgeous. Even at a glance, I could see she was wearing expensive items.
"Well...."
Of course, my sister misunderstood my position. I had enough money to match the best items befitting my level, but I just didn't feel the need to do that.
"I wish you had told me about it early on."
"Well… I didn't feel like it was that inconvenient."
My conscience stung a bit due to her sympathetic response. But if I showed her the 100 million-plus golden rings I had, I also had to show her my status bar and other stuff. Then, I would have to tell her about the bizarre experience I had during the closed beta period and vacation. So, I kept it to myself.
At that moment, my sister, who seemed to have misunderstood me a lot, grabbed my palm as if she shook hands with me, and said, "Exchange."
[Super beauty has requested an exchange.
-Would you like to accept it?]
"Why?"
"Accept it quickly."
"Uh… Accept."
I had no other choice but to accept it because she misunderstood me so much that I could not reject it.
[Super beauty has given you 10 million golden rings.]
"Uh?"
10 million golden rings were quite a lot. But she did not end there.
[Super beauty has given you 8.45 million golden rings.]
"Daddy has given you 10 million golden rings, and let me give you 8.45 million golden rings."
I was surprised by her 845 million golden rings, but I was even more surprised by my father's 10 million golden rings. So I had to ask back right away, "Dad?"

"Yeah. After you went back, I talked with Dad. I told him you're playing Revival Legend."
I couldn't help but feel my heart sink at her words. I didn't want to be caught playing games by not only my mother but my father in particular. As if she read my mind, my sister said, "Oh don't worry. He rather likes that you are playing games, especially Revival Legend."
"Really?"
I was dumbfounded by her unexpected reply because I could not understand for the life of me why my father would like me to play games.
"That's enough. You don't need to know the details. But I would like to tell you that not only Mom and Dad, but also your brother and I fully support you playing games, especially Revival Legend."
"Why?"
I had no choice but to ask back in a loud voice because I could not understand how my family members including my father could support me playing games fully, aside from them liking it.
"You don't need to know about the details yet. You will find out in due time. So, do your best without caring about us. If you need anything, tell me."
"..."
I was still puzzled by her reply, but I felt good anyway because I didn't have to be bound by my secret vow that I would devote everything to the game until I reached the point where I wouldn't look back at all later, completely sick and tired of it.
And then a message rang once more.
[Super beauty has given you the Ice Emperor's guardian sword.]
It was an item I had never heard of. The name itself felt unusual.
"You won't be able to wear it for the time being, but I brought it to you because I want you to be motivated to work hard. Of course, it's a problematic item. It's an ice-type weapon, but it's rather cumbersome for a wizard to use. Um...I would call it a necessary nuisance."
After that, my sister let go of my hand and said, "How about shopping with me?"

"Oh, no thanks. Let me check and match it one by one."
"Good. I'm leaving now. My team members are waiting for me."
"Okay."
She got up from her seat, then walked a few steps. She looked back at me and opened her mouth, "By the way, Dad is playing this game, too."
"What?"
"Not only Daddy, but Brother and Mom too."
"Why?" I was more surprised.
"You don't have to know. So, do your best. You can't be left behind. Not only my family, but also a lot of people related to us have a stake in this game."
"..."
At that moment, Daesung came to my mind. Since Daesung was already doing this game business, it was no wonder that Myongjin Group, led by my father, would also show interest in it.
"One more thing. If you get a quest, don't ignore it and try to solve it by all means. If you don't have one, try to find it. I'm really leaving now. Call me sometimes regularly."
Then she left the cafe. I didn't leave because she confirmed that not only Daesung, but also Myeongjin Group, my father's company, paid lots of attention to this game.
'Is there any hidden agenda here?'
I was puzzled at the moment, but I didn't think about it too long because no matter how worried I was, I didn't think I could get the answer.
So, I first checked the items I received from my sister.
"Check items."

"..."
Each item had a grade. Five grades in total. Namely, General-Rare-Precious-Legend-Myth, in that order. And the highest-grade item I owned was preciousness, which I obtained during the 3rd closed beta.
At that time, I was told that several legendary items were available, but I had never seen it with my own eyes. But right now I possessed a Myth-grade item with a tremendous number of options, which I had never possessed or seen.
However, while checking the details, I noticed something strange. Obviously, the ice-based skills are wizard skills of fire or wind elements that are mostly affected by Intellectual Power. That's why the use of the Ice Emperor's Guardian Sword was limited to 7,000 or more pure Intellectual Power, regardless of the level or the number of skills. In other words, the weapon was reserved for ice-typed wizards with Intellectual Power as their main stat.
Regardless of the other options of the Guardian Sword, the options for increasing the stat were Strength and Agility, which I understood well.
However, I was puzzled by what was written at the bottom.
Namely, the physical attack power of 8,999 and magic attack power of 899.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here.

Bastard's Wrath
The Wyvern reared its humongous head, serpent neck coiling back, onyx scales of opulence shimmering in the dimness of the cloud smothered sky. It spoke, eye's ashen, like the surface of a star, "What is it you desire, boy?" The word's rolled from it's pointed maw, tongue flicking, it's deep and ferocious voice sending the ground below rumbling. Damien looked up, hair sodden with rain, his face battered beyond recognition, his lips curled into a snarl. He had gone past the point of being frightened; he was tired of his weakness. He spoke, voice wavering, mist floating from his mouth in the coldness: "I want them dead. I want everyone who stabbed me in the back; dead." The Wyvern smiled, rows of teeth exposed, "Then sacrifice it. Sacrifice your humanity." - The story of a bastard within a crippled family,who beyond all odds becomes known as the Greatest Swordsman to live: the one that, even the Gods, would someday fear.
