Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 176

In Ivuleich Island, Russia.
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"What can I do even if I'm not okay? I have to do it anyway."
"But Asirante is a formidable foe who destroyed Sir Pablo's skill of "Penetrating Wall'' when he just reached level 500. But what if he finds out that you robbed his quest? If Asirante receives a new quest, he will find out your identity, right?"
As soon as his subordinate finished talking, Yosif stared at him with narrowed eyes.
His subordinate, who has been serving him for more than 7 years, understood immediately why his boss glared at him like that.
So, he lowered his head right away and opened his mouth.
"I made a mistake. I was stupid enough to respect to Pablo respectfully in your presence. I'm sorry."
When he said that, Yosif blinked, returned to a neutral expression, then quietly opened his mouth.
"Asirante must be really angry, right?"
His subordinate immediately responded as he had finished investigating Asirante's background to give his boss an appropriate answer.
"Asirante has produced the overwhelming results by clearing 80 rounds in Path C of the level 300 arena quest, ranking 1st globally. Judging from that, he might most likely have advanced to the final round in his duel with users or NPCs at the level 500 only quest because he is a formidable individual who cannot be constrained by level."
"..."
Yosif did not respond to his answer.
The subordinate went on as if he didn't even expect Yosif to respond.
"Based on his track record, it is clear that Asirante is also looking forward to the level 700 because he is confident that he can achieve the top ranking. So, if he finds out somebody has robbed the quest from him…"
Since he knew what his minion wanted to say next, Yosif opened his mouth, feeling bitter.
"Because of that bastard Pablo, I am now forced to incur that monster's anger since I have gotten entangled with the Lucia Guild. It really sucks!."
Until now, Yosif has extorted many people by using his trait, "Quest Robber."
However, his trait also had a lot of risk due to its fraudulent nature.

For example, if the person whose quest has been robbed receives another quest, the identity of the person who stole his quest would be revealed.
Of course, Yosif could handle this kind of thing on his own.
However, the biggest problem is that if Yosif is killed by the person whose quest has been robbed, his trait, "Quest Robber," will be destroyed and what he has obtained while proceeding with the quests until now will disappear. Some of it, or as many as 2000 or 3000 remaining stat points, will be granted to the man who kills him.
So, he needed to select those who had no chance of becoming stronger than him before robbing their quests. If he robbed a strong person, he would make a powerful enemy.
Yosif thought he had robbed enough.
While others proceeded with only a few quests during their lifetime, he had taken several hundred quests. Even though he didn't clear all of them or failed to reach the top rankings, he achieved a lot by robbing their quests.
"By the way, what is that bastard Pablo doing now?"
After all, all this happened to him because Pablo failed to beat Asirante, so he checked on Pablo's current situation.
"As far as I know, he is currently hunting in Region 53, Korea."
"How about his recovery after his trait 'Penetrating Wall' was damaged?"
"I haven't got any information about it."
"Hmm. If he is still in Region 53, it's conclusive evidence that he hasn't yet recovered."
While talking to his subordinate, Yosif was lost in thought, with his hand on his chin.
Then he quietly opened his mouth.
"It must be a lie. It has been smashed to pieces, so he won't be able to recover his trait. Even if he recovers it, the walls that are currently blocking off the world would have already disappeared by that time."
"But..."
"Yeah, I know. That damn guild leader still believes Pablo's words. As a matter of fact, there are some who have received strong subordinates because of Pablo. Just like me."
"..."
Yosif, who took away Asirante's level 700 only quest, kept talking with his subordinate on an island in Russia. He wanted to rob Asirante of all his quests because Asirante was now his enemy, but he regretted that his trait limited him to robbing one quest per individual.

For ten minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and one hour, I kept hunting swaths of sabre steel tooth tigers in the hunting ground, waiting for the message about the level 700 only quest.
But the message still didn't ring. In fact, there was no sign of it ringing at all.
"What's wrong?"
Naturally, I was full of questions.
Users were supposed to be given a total of five limited quests once they reached level 100, level 300, level 500, level 700, and level 900 without exception.
Actually, that's what happened to me until I reached level 500.
Furthermore, I obtained Blink with zero cooldown in the level 300 only quest.
Although I didn't obtain any great reward in the level 500 only quest, I still obtained the level 1200 reality actualization, and as a result, I earned a lot of other things like the limited skill 'Savant' and skill points in Region 0.
Anyway, since I earned lots of good stuff at level 100, level 300 and level 500, I had lots of expectations when I reached level 700.
But the message that I was looking forward to didn't ring.
Immediately, I messaged all of his family members, including my sister and Director Sok.
But their replies were all the same.
[Super Beauty: What's up? Why?]
[Insu Sok: It's my first time hearing about something like this, so I don't think I can give you a good answer right now. Let me investigate.]
My sister, who just returned questions, and Director Sok, who said he would look into it, didn't help much.
So, I stopped hunting for now because I could only challenge the limited quest once when I was level 700. If I leveled up to level 701, I would no longer be able to challenge it.
Because of my title "The Man Who Doesn't Fall," I could not lose levels as well.
The next day.
"Move to Rodon Castle."
[You have moved to Rodon Castle.]
No matter what others thought about it, the disappearance of the level 700 only quest was a big question mark to me.
Since I won the level 100, level 300, and level 500 quests, I was confident in winning the level 700 quest too, because I already had the victory plan ready.
According to the survey conducted by the Myongjin Guild, there were several who achieved level 700 last night, and all of them received the level 700 only quest without exception.
In other words, only I didn't receive the quest.
So, I decided to talk with my family members and Director Sok in Myongjin's secret house located in Rodon Castle.
Tramp-Tramp-
As always, I moved slowly along the southern wall.
Since the southern wall was located in the outskirts, there were usually no users or NPCs around.
But now I saw people loitering around.
Users? No, NPCs.
Of course, I couldn't say they were waiting for me.
But for some reason, I felt strongly that they had been waiting for me.
And my foreboding turned out to be true because one of them at the forefront greeted me.
"Hello, Asirante!"
"???"
If a user had called me with Asirante, I would have not felt it strange at all because I moved around with ID Asirante while hiding my other ID Lumen.
So, I was a little embarrassed because I didn't expect that an NPC I was seeing for the first time would call me Asirante.
Of course, I corrected my expression right away and opened my mouth.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, my name is Veroni. I belong to the Zaltz clan, one of the top 10 clans in the Glue Plains."
It was the first time I ever heard the name Veroni, as well as the Glue Plains and the Zaltz clan.
However, I could understand the situation a little when this man called Veroni added a little more.
"And we have some small exchanges with the Salte clan."
The Salte clan Veroni mentioned.

The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.
