Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 122

"Chain Lightning!"
"Breath of Destruction!"
"Fire Spirit's Anger."
"Power Shot!"
"Earth Explosion."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Daeyu's first boss monster raid team. What that name meant was simple.
It meant they were strong men who belonged to the top 1% and 2% in Korea.
So, the damage dealers, the enchanters, and the healers were all doing their part so well to the extent that they did not interfere with Asirante, the main actor who should shine the most in this boss monster raid.
However, there were those who could not showcase their role appropriately.
They were the tanks. Of course, some of them occasionally attacked the Death Knight.
But it was the tank's defensive power that determined their real competence. For some reason, however, the experienced and seasoned tanks stepped back rather than defending the Death Knight's attacks, for they knew clearly that it was more conducive to this raid for them not to interfere with Asirante. He was perfectly holding the boss monster, the Death Knight, at bay who was attacking with a huge amount of damage that was impossible to deal with for a typical tank.
In other words, these veteran tanks knew that trying to assist Asirante to "support" him would get on his nerves rather than helping him.
So, most of the tanks opened their mouths while simply watching the scenes of Asirante's overwhelming performance in the boss monster raid as if they were bystanders.
"Oh my God! Is it possible for him to deal with the boss monster while managing his health?"
"Also, because of Show Anger, although his physical and magic attack power increases by 5%, his physical and magic defense is decreased by 10%r!"
"Damn it! Show Anger on tanks? How does that make any sense?"
Show Anger was supposed to increase attack power by 5% by sacrificing 10% defense power.
As a result, it was a buff that tanks had no choice but to avoid because even if their attack increased by 5%, it had little effect because they had a fundamentally weak attack power, while a 10% decrease in their defense was a fatal loss to them.
However, tanks had no choice but to express intense anger and frustration after discovering that Asirante was not in a dangerous situation at all while maintaining the buffs. Common sense dictates that such a thing should not happen before their eyes.
But their anger didn't last long, for they now clearly admitted that their defense was just useless in this situation where Asirante was launching overwhelming attacks.

In short, Asirante's attack was just amazing.
"Pouring Hailstone! Ice Spear. Multiple Ice Arrow!"
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
Puck! Puck! Puck!
With my feet firmly planted on the ground, I launched a series of attacks on the Death Knight as soon as my skill cooldowns were back. I initially wondered how efficient a 10% decrease in my skill cooldown would be, but it was really efficient when I actually experienced it.
So, I could use almost indefinitely not only Ice Ball and Ice Bolt that had a short cooldown, but also the even more powerful Ice Spears and Multiple Ice Arrows.
Besides, I endlessly fired Pouring Hailstone and Ice Storm whose cooldown returned quicker than I thought.
Of course, others would face mana issues when spamming their skills like this, but I didn't have to worry about this at all while withstanding the Death Knight's ruthless attack.
A little while later there was a painful scream.
[Kuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
Thud!
When the boss monster, Death Knight, fell with a painful scream, Chairman Suh immediately looked at Kim, and opened his mouth.
"How many minutes did it take for Asirante to kill it?"
Chairman Suh, who had a lot of work to do and worry about in both reality and games, was aware of the average clear time of most tough boss monsters because one of the important signs of a guild's competitiveness was the number of the boss monsters they possessed.
So, Chairman Suh clearly knew that the average clearing time of the Death Knight, the boss monster in this hunting ground, was around 30 minutes.
But he immediately asked because he felt Asirante hunted the boss monster much faster than he thought.
"It took him 13 minutes and 58 seconds."
"..."
In other words, it took about 14 minutes.
Since it was more than twice as fast as the average clearing time, Chairman Suh was speechless for a while.
However, Kim went on, as if he felt Suh had a lot more to be surprised about.
"Well, if we change all the unnecessary five tanks and two auxiliary tanks into damage dealers, and even change all three healers and two enchanters for the seven tanks into damage dealers , maybe it will take him only ten, or seven or eight minutes."
"Wow! Asirante is like an onion that still comes out endlessly no matter how much you peel!"
"You bet. I feel Asirante will surprise us even more in the future."
Chairman Suh did not refute what he said because he could confirm it with his own eyes.

"Wow!"
"I can't believe this. So, Asirante got rid of a mid-sized boss monster so easily?"
"Yeah, that's true. Besides, there were even no dangerous situations during the raid. That's awesome!"
Actually, the boss monster raid was easier than I thought.
Given the reactions of people around me, they seemed to think so as well.
I could have shared the joy of a successful monster raid with them, but I tried to look serious on purpose because that was what I was supposed to do according to the script.
At that moment, I heard some people approaching me.
They were none other than Chairman Suh and Kim.
"Good job. Asirante! You played a fantastic role!"
"I've never seen a tank as perfect as you, Asirante. Of course, I am wondering if I can confine you to the standards of a tank."
"I'm flattered. This is not a big deal."
Normally I would have given the credit to Daeyu while gesturing my hands at him.
But shrugging a bit, I made a gesture as if to ask him why he took pains to say that because I was supposed to be a bit conceited according to the script.
Then, I moved to the table Chairman Suh prepared in advance, and began a serious conversation with him. Of course, I spoke as written in the script.
"2 billion. If you really want to join the Daeyu Group, I will give you 2 billion golden rings right away, and it will just be a downpayment at that."
"Well, I think Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, and Kusan will offer me as much as that."
"Man, I have told you this already, but let me repeat. If I see you in the real world, I can give you a stake in the Daeyu Group, but you just insist…"
"Well, I have to think about it a little more. I've had some bad experiences in other games. I suffered a beating from them just because of some items and some boss monsters. Son of a bitch! The other party clearly told me he would see me alone, but he took more than ten thugs with him. By the way, you know what I'm talking about, right, Mr. Chairman?" I said very slyly as if I were a real actor.
And Chairman Suh responded by raising his voice, according to the script.
"Daeyu is no thug group!"
"Of course, I know. As we all know, Daeyu is one of Korean's top five business groups. But if you look at the newspapers or watch movies, those from the top business groups are really the mean ones. They even hire thugs to beat their opponents. Oh, you know what? I read it in the newspaper recently. A large company in the top 30 business groups hired an organized crime ring member to bury a body somewhere. Do you know where it is? I googled on it on the Internet and could not find it."
"It's just speculation. Speculation."
"No, I don't think so. All the evidence points to the fact that the murdered man was buried secretly somewhere. Anyway, I think I can see you after we build mutual trust a little more. I don't want to be beaten again. It really makes me shudder when I recall it."
"Phew! Got it. I understand. Then, how much would you like to join Daeyu instead of Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung and Kusan?"
"Well, I think about 10 billion golden rings would be okay. Don't you think you should invest that much in me at least so you can spread the news about me everywhere? I won't think of considering any offer from Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung and Kusan even if they approach me."
Chairman Suh stiffened his face at that.
"Whew! Okay. Let me arrange another meeting with you sooner or later."
"Sure. But you have to hurry. I'm too easily swayed by what others say, and there are so many guys trying to win me over."
"Sure, let me keep that in mind."
So, we were done shooting all the scenes for now.
Now, I stopped acting arrogantly and opened my mouth, looking at Chairman Suh.
"By the way, do you think the Yanghwa Group can give us 10 billion golden rings?"
In fact, 10 billion golden rings was so huge that even Chairman Suh hesitated for a moment.
Besides, it is impossible for any individual to even dream of possessing such a huge amount of golden rings.
But Chairman Sun came up with an unexpected response.
"Well, given the pompous personality of Yanghwa Group's Chairman Jiang Chiangrin, he will definitely give you 10 golden rings unconditionally. He has insatiable greed that nobody can even imagine."
I talked with him a little more before concluding the meeting.
Of course, I stayed behind in the hunting ground because I had only 7 levels left to reach level 400.

A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!
