Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 147
Advertisement
"Confirm the privilege of level 1200."
Despite the unexpected news from my sister that my elder brother received a marriage offer, I immediately accessed 'Revival Legend' because I had to fully take advantage of the 50% increased EXP period that I received as a reward for winning the 4th Anniversary event.
But before I moved to the Sabre Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat, I first confirmed the privilege of level 1200 I received as a reward for the level 500 only quest because I needed to know what it was even though it might just be useless.
[Congratulations. Due to the great achievements you made in the level 500 only quest, you have acquired 'Level 1200 Privilege, Actualization of Reality'.
-The privilege of actualizing the potential of 'Revival Legend' can only be obtained by the man who has achieved at least level 1200, but Lumen, Asirante can actualize it starting from level 500.
However, the following conditions are required for actualization.
-By using coins, you can permanently actualize the abilities within 'Revival Legend'.
: From 0% to 10%, 1,000 coins are required for 1% actualization.
: From 11% to 20%, 2,000 coins are required for 1% actualization.
: From 21% to 30%, 3,000 coins are required for 1% actualization.
:
:]
"..."
Of course, I heard from my dad that Vten, the company that had the original technology for 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation virtual reality, disappeared instantly as if it had evaporated, and that the 4th virtual reality would occur in reality.
And I took my father's words at face value without any doubt, for I had experienced something during the Closed Beta which was held under the name of 'Forgotten Legend' prior to 'Revival Legend'.
Moreover, there was a clear reason why Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu threw themselves into 'Revival Legend'. Even China's Yanghwa Group, one of the top business conglomerates in China, was also obsessed with Revival Legend to the point that they offered me as many as 10 billion golden rings with a tremendous value in the real world to hire me.

However, no matter how much you know about something in your head, it is very difficult to accept it directly without any doubt without confirming it yourself.
"Check inventory."
I opened my inventory first since I could not afford to stay embarrassed.
No matter how often I heard that coins were really valuable, I was not impressed because I gained coins easily so often. So, I just knew that I had quite a few in my inventory but I was unsure of the exact number.
But I could clearly confirm the coins that were strangely twinkling among the several other items in my inventory unlike in the past.
[Coins: 99000.01]
In addition to the level 1200 privilege that I received from the level 500 only quest, there were a total of 99,000 and 0.01 coins, including the 10, 000 coins I received as a reward for the level 500 only quest.
Of course, there was something I found really regrettable.
Unfortunately, there was no increase in the coins after 0.01.
Anyway, leaving behind my regret, I immediately began to calculate how many percentage points I could get to actualize the potential of Revival Legend with 99,000 coins.
But I had no idea.
"Well, I have to test the coins first to figure it out correctly."
Since the number required changed for every 10%, I badly needed a calculator.
However, I had to use the coins at least once for a test, so I immediately shouted a command to use the coins. I didn't have to worry about coins because I had simply too many.
Anyway, as soon as I shouted, a new message rang.
[You have the privilege of level 1200, 'actualization of reality'.
-Currently, Lumen, Asirante's actualization rate is 0%.
-Up to 10% actualization, 1000 coins are required for each 1% actualization.]
Along with the message, a line with numbers from 0-10 along it appeared before my eyes.
Of course, the line started from 0.
So, I chose the number 1.

[You have chosen to actualize 1%.
-You currently have more than 1000 coins.
-You have actualized 1% of the abilities of 'Revival Legend'.]
With that message, I felt a bright light leaking out of my body.
But that was all.
Turning and looking around me, I couldn't feel any change in my body.
Then another message rang.
[This is Lumen, Asirante's rate of actualization.
-1/100.
-Coins are required for a higher rate of actualization.]
I did not feel any change at all, but the message clearly said that my coins have been debited.
Moreover, in my inventory, the number of coins decreased from 99000.01 to 98000.01.
"Log out."
I first logged out, thinking that I had to log out first in order to experience the change in the real world.
After logging out, I was lost in thought for a moment.
To be honest, no matter how well I describe myself, there is one title that can best describe me right now. I'm a game addict.
I know that 'Revival Legend' is not simply a game, but something that is worth devoting my future to. Of course, this deserves praise, but for now I could describe myself as a game addict.
Of course, my father, mother, elder brother and sister, not to mention Director Sok, advised me to exercise and not just play games, so I made it a rule to take a walk every now and then. But I could not say it was a proper exercise. Honestly, I could not be called healthy because of lack of exercise.
So I could clearly feel the drastic difference that only 1% made.
Of course, considering my stamina and health in the game, even 1% would show tremendous power.
While I was thinking about it, a question passed through my head.
"Am I smarter now?"
My stamina stat was tremendously high, but there was something higher than that - my Intellect.
So, I went straight to the desk and took out a book.
It was Adam Smith's economics book, The Wealth of Nations, which made me join the army during my freshman year in college.
A little later, I asked myself, "What the heck? Aren't I just the same?"
Of course, if somebody read a book and immediately recalled the contents of the book, they might be good at memorizing, not smart or wise. But nothing else clearly revealed one's brilliance as much as their memory.
So, I thought that my intellect might have an effect on my memory. But there was no change in my memory from before, let alone my comprehension ability.
So, I put down the thick economics booko, opened the window, and reached out to the outside while opening my mouth. Honestly, I was way more curious about this.
"Ice Ball."
[...]
Nothing unusual happened, but something caught my eye immediately. It was a message that rang even though I was not currently logged into 'Revival Legend'.
[Since your actualization rate is low, you can't use your skill.]
It was a message that I could not use my skills because of my low actualization rate.
In the end, it means that I need to raise my actualization rate to imagine. I imagined a scene in my mind at that moment, namely, the scenes of social order and laws being upturned by people like heroes or superpowers on earth.
Moreover, I came to think about the question.
"Could it be that I will never die?"
Death in 'Revival Legend'?
Of course, it is not real death.
After 24 hours, I will be resurrected with a slight loss of EXP.
And if even that can be actualized, what it meant was clear.
In other words, immortality.
"Oh my God…"
At that moment, I cleared my throat before I knew it.
In other words, it would be over-simplistic to explain all these things by saying that the 4th virtual reality would be realized in reality.

Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.
