Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 127
Advertisement
Originally, I had a total of five titles including Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever.
So, now I had a total of six, not five, titles.
Besides, my health and mana suddenly increased enormously, and all my stat points also increased.
"What the heck is this? My level and EXP are still the same."
It was like a bolt out of the blue to me, so I was not only dumbfounded but also confused by what happened to me. It was beyond my understanding.
Of course, I felt good about what happened to me, or I had no choice but to rejoice.
However, since I don't know why this happened all of a sudden, I could not express my joy because there was a real possibility that all this would disappear like a dream or an illusion while I got carried away with happiness.
In other words, I didn't want to count my eggs before they were hatched.
So, I opened my mouth quietly to confirm the title which was my only clue at the moment.
"Check the list of my current titles."
In no time, a list of titles I currently have appeared.
[The titles you currently hold:
1. Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever
2. Scarecrow Destroyer.
3. Have You Enhanced as Much as Me?
4. The Man Who Doesn't Fall.
5. Honorable Name.
6. First Successful Step.]
At the very bottom of the list was a title that I had never seen before.
"Check title, First Successful Step."
[Title: First Successful Step.
-As a participant in the 4th anniversary special event, you successfully got rid of the monster directly.
-As a reward, you were given the title First Successful Step.
: Health Increases by 100,000.
: Mana increased by 100,000.
: All stat points increase by 300.]
"..."
As soon as I checked the title, I knew that this new title was the best except for Only Closed Best Max Level Achiever, which was basically incomparable to anything else.
So I was all the more puzzled because I didn't do anything even though the process of obtaining such a good title was usually very difficult.

Still, I could take comfort from the fact that the reason for the increase in my health, mana, and stat points was because I got this new title, and that unless this title disappeared, this increase would not disappear.
And for some reason, I felt the title "First Successful Step' would not disappear.
Around lunch that day I mentioned my new title to my sister.
"First Successful Step?" asked my sister.
"Yes, that's right."
Since my father and brother were working in the company right now, I mentioned it to my sister while having lunch.
I was going to tell my father and my brother about it in the evening anyway because I had no reason to keep it a secret from my family.
But my sister didn't pay much attention when I said I got a new title out of the blue.
It seemed to me that she thought the value of my new title was terrible because I got it for no reason.
So I told her that this was a title that increased health by 100,000, mana by 100,000 and all stat points by 300.
Bang!
"What did you say???"
Even though I have many titles so far, an increase in my health and mana by 100,000 was still a huge number. In addition, my strength, agility, stamina, willpower, and intellect all increased by 300 points which amounted to an increase of 1500 stat points.
In other words, if I converted them into levels, it was equivalent to gaining 150 levels.
"Tell me when, how and why you got it."
"I just told you. I don't know. After I woke up this morning, I found it all of a sudden."
"I still don't get it. How come you have obtained such a super title when you haven't done anything?"
When she asked with her eyes open, I just gently nodded because it was a simple fact, and I didn't know anything more about it.
And I told the same story to my father, brother, and Director Sok.

As they say, you can see only what you know.
When I explained to them, Director Sok and my father knew about the meaning and power of my new title better than anybody else.
Of course, my father instructed Director Sok to secretly investigate this mysterious thing because he knew there was no smoke without fire.
But I really didn't know anything about it.
Anyway, this bizarre thing got noticed not only in Korea but around the world.
If I actively tried to find out about it, it would give other guys a clue which might put me in jeopardy. So, my family members and I kept it quiet.
The next day at the Tombs of the Dead.
What happened to me yesterday became something like a catalyst that made me even more diligent. Why? I liked the game itself as well as 'Revival Legend' because I was given a reasonable reward for my hard efforts, but something extraordinary, which I never imagined, happened to me yesterday.
It was sort of a special bonus for me. So, I could not help but get even more motivated to hunt.
"Ice Storm!"
Puck! Puck! Puck!
This time I wore the functional skill ring. In the past, when I confirmed that I acquired the functional skill ring, I hid it from Daeyu taking into account their expected regrets about my possession of the ring, but this time I felt I didn't have to.
Honestly, my confidence played a big role this time.
In other words, I had the firm confidence that Daeyu would not pose any big threat to me no matter what they did.
"Let's go!"
I said to Manager Jinyoung Lee, who always supported me whenever I came to this place to hunt. He was staring at me blankly, amazed by my brilliant hunting.
And it wasn't just Manager Lee who looked at me in amazement.
The 2nd monster herding team members were also standing with blank expressions as if they didn't want to pick up the items dropped by the dying monsters.
Of course, I know why they did so because nobody knew my hunting method and power as well as they did.
I always used a series of attacks based on linking Blink, Ice Field, Pouring Hailstone, and Ice Storm. But this time I used only Ice Storm.
But the effect was the same when I killed more than 100 monsters with one stroke by using Ice Storm. Of course, I used one more skill.
"Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!"
Pasasasak!
The level 5 Ice Field showed a completely different power from the level 2 Ice Field.
Moreover, the effect of Thin Ice was much greater when it was used with level 5 Ice Field than with level 2 Ice Field.
"Ice Rain!"
Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
It was a rain of ice. There was no sound of rain falling.
Rather, only the sound of it colliding with something spread widely.
And that was it.
At that moment, I turned my gaze to Manager Lee and said, "Well, it looks like four monster herding teams are not enough. Can you increase the number of teams? How about eight teams?"
As a matter of fact, I didn't feel that four teams were insufficient for my purposes before.
Until now, I was wearing low-level weapons with the possibility of me wearing the Ice Emperor's guardian sword in mind. But now I was wearing a legendary grade staff befitting my level, and I even increased my substantial defense with level 400 legendary grade items, so the four teams were definitely not sufficient for my purposes now.
Moreover, I gained even more power from my new title 'First Successful Step' as well as the upgraded skills.
So I definitely felt the current four teams were not enough to efficiently hunt.
Manager Lee, who was standing, blankly looking at me, stuttered as if he was surprised.
"Let me convey your wishes to the management."
So, I replied with a smile to him, "Thank you."
