Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 169
Advertisement
Three forces dominated 'Revival Legend' in the United States: The U.S. Government, the Holdridge Group covering the US east coast, and the Shaipe Group covering the US west coast.
Among them, the Holdridge Group was archaic and established a thorough hierarchy with its major players consisting of those who were wealthy and from powerful families. On the other hand, Shaipe had a rather liberal atmosphere because its major players were the nouveau riche. They were based in California in the US west coast.
Each group had many different factions, who formed and dissolved alliances with each other according to their interests.
Edwin, who had been alienated from the core of the Shaipe Group as a result of this infighting, always longed to return to its core.
Of course, the most obvious way for him to achieve his goal was to secure a trustworthy ally to support him.
Edwin thought that Asirante alone would be more than enough to fill this role.
He even thought that he could even become one of the top five executives of the Holdridge Group, who were regarded as the most powerful within the group .
However, since it would be very difficult to make Asirante his ally, he could not sit idle, doing nothing.
But while he was pondering over how to win over Asirante, he heard that Asirante was also taking part in this event.
Edwin's eyes sparkled because he had already confirmed that when Asirante participated in the "Catch Up with Yourself" event, so not only his titles but also his traits would disappear.
In other words, it was clear that Asirante had become a beginner, losing all his tremendous abilities since he was starting from scratch again.
Of course, Asirante must have a lot of wealth, including golden rings, befitting his abilities, but Edwin judged that it would not pose an issue because the current Asirante could not equip powerful items beyond his current low level.
So, he said to Jacob, his most trusted subordinate, "Prepare to bring Asirante secretly into the Ring of Death. You must not let anybody know.'
"Yes, sir!"

Edwin decided to use his trait, the Death Ring, and Jacob's trait, Summon, without informing the rest of the Shaipe Group of his decision.
And he made up his mind to talk seriously with Asirante in the very place where none of them could exit until one of them died.
Anyway, Jacob moved quickly upon receiving his boss's order.
But Jacob had one question that kept nagging at him, namely, how Asirante was level 167 already.
No matter how famous and powerful Asirante was, level 167 was too high to achieve in only four days after the "Catch Up with Yourself" event began.
So, Jacob paid a lot of money to those who could confirm Asirante's level and confirmed it several times. But the results were always the same.
Moreover, Jacob had already made several transactions with them, so it was impossible for them to lie to him because he would find out anyway. So Jacob believed their reports.
'Good. I don't know what kind of trick Asirante used to reach his current level, but since he started from scratch again, he will not be able to get out of the ring this time."
Although Jacob had such doubts, he did not disagree with his boss Edwin's decision because Edwin did not participate in the event.
In other words, Jacob thought that even if Asirante had a hidden card, he would not be able to do anything before his formidable boss Edwin who was level 1179.
Anyway, Jacob moved carefully.
Even if Asirante's recruitment would benefit Shaipe tremendously, it was not something the other two groups were willing to see.
At the Sabre Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat the next day.
Although it's a bit shameful for me to reveal this, I don't have very good control over my power like others think. Besides, I'm not good at adapting to change immediately.
So, it was almost unreasonable for me, who had been only a ranged wizard in all games including 'Revival Legend' to fully use my strength and agility stats which reached 18,000 right now.
Besides, I was supposed to maintain them for only 30 days, or 26 days as of today.

So, I wasn't greedy.
Using Ice Weapon I struck down a monster that approached close to me.
Bang! Bang!
"Kheeeeeeek!"
"Khuuuuuuuuung!"
Of course, I discarded the beginners light club.
Although the price of low-level items increased by four times compared to before, I was rich enough to buy them. So, I obtained a +7 club that wasn't a normal or rare grade, but a precious grade item.
Honestly, I didn't need this kind of clubbing to kill monsters because I was no longer a level 5 user with only Ice Ball and Ice Bolt.
"Ice Field! Pouring Hail"
Pasasasak!
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
I used AOE skills towards the monsters that I had herded together.
Of course, compared to Blink with zero cooldown, I was not agile enough even though my agility reached 18,000. As a matter of fact, no matter how high my agility was, it could not be compared to Blink with zero cooldown.
However, it was enough for me to chase the swift sabre steel tooth tigers, and my strength and stamina which also reached 18,000 were enough for me to ignore or parry their occasional attacks.
In addition, I used not only AOE skills but also the club to strike down the nearby tigers, not to mention Ice Blast to finish them off.
Actually, all these skills were just enough for me to hunt the monsters.
I didn't have to dwell on the strength and agility that would disappear anyway.
Encouraged by the series of level-up messages that kept ringing, I kept hunting the monsters.
I had lunch at my main house in Cheongdam-dong before moving to my one-room studio that night.
As soon as I arrived at my studio, I immediately accessed 'Revival Legend'.
I was close to reaching level 200. At level 200, I would not only obtain skill points to get new skills, but all my stat points would also increase by 3,000 each.
Anyway, I did not stop hunting, but while I was absorbed into hunting, a message rang suddenly.
[You have been selected as a target for summons.
-You will be moved to the side of the summoner.]
"?"
As soon as I checked the message, I was stricken with anxiety.
Of course, I was not scared or anything like that.
However, the anxiety that I might have to encounter something annoying consumed me. Actually, I had similar experiences in the past, like the guy named Pablo, who tried to force me to join the Lucia Guild. .
Pablo, who had the trait "Penetrating Wall", forcibly sent me to Region 0 against my will.
This time I encountered "summon."
Anyway, it was inevitable that I would be moved to the guy who summoned me, but I felt really bad about it. Naturally I had a lot of complaints, too.
"Damn it. What the hell is this trait?"
Although I had great traits such as Iceman, Mutual Growth and God of Enhancement, which were as good as this trait in question, I had no choice but to complain about this trait that suddenly summoned me.
If this kind of trait existed in Korea, there was no possibility that it could have stayed secret until now. This was a clear indication that the place where the guy was summoning me was not Region 53, Korea, but somewhere else.
Soon, a white light began to wrap around my body and I felt myself being moved somewhere.
The first thing that caught my eyes was a square ring that was tightly closed on all sides.
I also noticed one man standing in the ring.
"I guess it's you who invited me to this place."
I really wanted to attack this man right away because I was really upset that he forcefully summoned me here against my wishes.
Moreover, I was close to reaching level 200, but I put up with my urge to attack as much as possible because I needed to grasp the current situation.
At that moment, that guy opened his mouth, watching my +7 enforced club shining with the blood coating it.
