"Umumnya... Umumnya…"

While Juyoung Hong was mumbling in his sleep like that, a message rang.

Of course, he was not connected to "Revival Legend" because he didn't access it.

Since he was asleep deeply, he could not hear the message.

Even if he heard it, he might have thought he was hallucinating because he was too immersed in "Revival Legend" these days.

Although he heard from his father, Chairman Sangman Hong, that this "Revival Legend" was not just a simple game, but an extraordinary one with a huge impact on the real world, it was not something he could simply accept and take at face value.

Anyway, what was certain was that a message rang to Juyoung immediately.

[You have successfully cleared the event as a participant of the 4th anniversary special event.

-You have acquired the title 'First Successful Step'.

-If you are included in the 60-member squad, which will be held as part of the next 4th anniversary event, your combat power will increase by 30% during that event.]

Juyoung fell asleep again after picking his ear with his index finger if it felt itchy inside.

When that little thing that came out of the soles of his feet, which looked like a tree root, touched a little sparkling blue piece left behind by the creature that had not existed on Earth, another message rang.

[You have acquired 1 Golden Ring.]

[You have acquired 0.01 coins.]

Of course, Juyoung didn't hear this message either.

Anyway, this little thing which resembled a tree root moved back into the soles of his feet as if there was nothing interesting anymore.

Yes, it did go back into the soles of his feet as if nothing had happened.

Of course, there was no evidence of anything surprising happening, except for the creation of a small hole in one wall of Juyoung's sleeping room.

New York, USA.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of gunshots rang inside a huge building.

And a creature whose head and chest were shot numerous times collapsed and disappeared without any trace. Of course, it left something behind.

It was something small and shiny and appeared to be blue in color.

At that moment, one of the men who fired the shots opened his mouth.

"What the heck? It clearly fell after being shot. Where did its body go?"

"Wait a minute, wasn't that an orc?"

"Right. It looked like an orc."

"What the heck happened??"

The building security guards and bodyguards spat out words like that, faced with a situation that they could not believe at all.

But Tylon Cole, the first person to reach level 1200, could see a message even though he was not currently logged into 'Revival Legend'. He was a member of the Holdridge Group, whose headquarters were near the building whose emergency bell kept ringing loudly at the sudden appearance of a human being, or more precisely, a strange creature who was not registered in the building.

[Unfortunately, you have failed to clear the special event as a participant in the 4th anniversary special event.

-You have acquired the title 'First Failed Step'.

-If you are included in the 60-member squad, which will be held as part of the next 4th anniversary event, your combat power will increase by 10% during that event.]

Tylon Cole wasn't surprised that the message rang in reality because he already knew that by reaching level 1200, he could translate his abilities within "Revival Legend" into reality. And he had already done so using coins.

However, after checking the message, Cole could not help but frown.

The fact that he failed something without even participating made him feel bad, no matter how trifling it was.

Nonetheless, he checked the title first.

"Check title First Failed Step."

He shouted it even though he was not wearing a virtual reality device at the moment.

If anyone was watching him, they might have felt that Cole had gone crazy. But of course, Cole wasn't crazy.

Currently, Cole was a talented player that the Holdridge Group paid special attention to, so everybody knew that Cole's behavior a moment ago wasn't crazy.

And, in fact, as soon as Tylan Cole finished speaking, something appeared in front of him.

[Title: Failed First Step.

-You failed to directly get rid of the monster given to you as a participant in the 4th anniversary special event.

However, as a reward for your outstanding performance previously, which qualified you as the participant in the 4th anniversary special event, the title of Failed First Step is given to you.

: Increases Health by 10,000.

: Increases Mana by 10,000.

: Increases all stat points by 20.]

Confirming the message before his eyes, he could not help but gnash his teeth because he knew the special meaning of a title as someone who accessed "Revival Legend" faster and more often than anyone else.

At that moment, a close colleague of his approached him and opened his mouth.

"Hey Cole! Orc! It looks like an orc has appeared in reality! There is a big fuss downstairs!"

But Cole wasn't surprised because he already knew it from the message.

Of course, although he was not surprised, he could not help but frown at the fact that some stupid guy got rid of the monster even though he was supposed to kill the monster by himself.

Of course, Cole complained deep down, though he didn't express it outward.

'Damn it! How could I know that it was my job to kill the orc when it didn't even appear before me! I could have gotten rid of this orc by myself!"

What happened to Juyoung Hong and Tylon Cole was not just limited to the two.

Not many, but only a special few who were eligible to participate in the 4th anniversary special event experienced the same thing.

However, most of them confirmed the message that they failed just like Tylon Cole.

The monster called an Orc did not appear directly in front of the participants of the 4th anniversary special event but within a radius of 100 meters from them.

So, some people who were eligible to participate in the 4th anniversary event, couldn't see a single hair of the orc, let alone the orc itself, because they were playing "Revival Legend" on a boat in the middle of the sea. They just confirmed the unexpected message that they had failed.

Anyway, the next day no news media reported about what happened to the 98 out of 100 participants in the 4th anniversary special event, even though not only some participants but also some others who had nothing to do with the event were killed.

And Juyoung Hong was the only person that experienced this event in Korea.

It was not because Korea lagged far behind other countries in Revival Legend.

There were 0 participants in Taiwan and Mongolia, and only 1 participant in Japan like Korea.

Moreover, the Japanese participant failed.

The United States kept news about "Revival Legend" a total secret," so the news about the 4th anniversary special event was not known to the outside world. As a result, only a few countries such as the United States, China, Russia, and Europe could produce the participants in the special event.

Anyway, it was quiet in Korea. Well, it was natural that it was quiet there because all this happened without the involved party knowing.

The next morning we ate a light breakfast at the villa and set off for Seoul because my father, brother, and Director Sok were all very busy.

On that day, I decided to take a rest at my main house in Cheongdam-dong.

Of course, all I had to do was to access 'Revival Legend' with a 3G VR device in my room.

Anyway, when I accessed 'Revival Legend' and opened my inventory casually, I noticed something different than before.

Coins.

"Uh? Are these coins generating themselves?"

I could not get coins just by hunting monsters. I could get them only by clearing a quest.

Since I could not say I had a lot of experience in obtaining coins, I remembered exactly how many coins I currently possessed, namely 67,000.

But there were more coins in my inventory.

[67,000.01 coins]

"Where did this 0.01 coin come from?"

I could not help but be more puzzled by the number of 0.01 instead of 1.

However, I was more surprised by what I noticed next.

"Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and five other titles?"
