Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 281
Advertisement
My brother's wedding ceremony was a grand affair. As soon as the ceremony was over, a party was held for everyone living in the Myeongjin Shelter, which continued until late at night.
Of course, this party was held to allay their anxiety and nervousness.
Even if they were inside the safe bounds of the Myungjin Shelter, they could not help but suffer from anxiety because they were now in a different environment than before. It was necessary for the shelter leaders to relieve them of their growing stress, and convince them that they could lead a normal life like before.
I also adjusted myself to the cheerful atmosphere of the party.
Aside from the fact that I'd worked really hard so far, I was really happy today when my brother got married. I was no longer childish enough to avoid him, so I gave him my sincere congratulations for his marriage.
The next morning I had to wake up early, although I stayed at the Myongjin Shelter after the long party. I quickly washed and had breakfast, then went to the reception room with my father, brother, sister, and Director Sok to thank and see off those who had come to congratulate my brother on his wedding yesterday.
While we were waiting for the guests in the reception room, Director Sok said to my father, "I have something to report to you." My father nodded at him to continue. Sok went on, "According to Young-gun's request, we have conducted an investigation into the long-rooted tree monsters in the abandoned field. We looked into the boss monster, the long-rooted old tree monster, in particular."
He was referring to the roots that had shown such incredible performance.
I needed more information about the roots, so I could learn how to wield them when I wanted to.
Director Sok, my father's most trusted man, had decided to secretly investigate them.
Sok told us, "Just like then and now, it was the Sungchang Guild that continues to hunt the boss monster. We quietly approached those who had proceeded with the boss monster raid, but none of them knew about the roots that Juyoung acquired. Of course, they might have lied to us, so we visited each of the leaders who once belonged to the Sungchang Guild, but they didn't know anything about them."

To be honest, I had a rough premonition about what Director Seok In-soo was saying. If such roots had ever appeared, there would have been big disturbances and commotion everywhere!
Sok continued, "First, we approached the Sungchang Guild and took a stake in not only the abandoned field but also the boss monster through negotiations with them. Given that the Sungchang Guild was not greedy about the abandoned field, it seemed that our investigation results were correct. But we're going to go ahead with the boss monster raid there just in case."
"You did a good job. Just go ahead."
"Yes, sir."
The matter of the roots was closed when my father nodded at Director Sok's plan.
A little later we accepted the outgoing guests in the waiting room.
"Thank you for coming this far."
"You're welcome! By the way, I'm envious of you. I think you must be pretty happy to have such proud children with you."
"Hahahaha, I'm flattered."
They exchanged pleasantries with each other.
I also responded with a smile. Regardless of their other intentions, they came here to congratulate my brother on his wedding.
Of course, there were some who I found unwelcome: those from Japan's Mitsuya Guild and China's Yanghwa Guild.
I had joined hands with Chairman Daeyoung Suh of the Daeyu Guild to deceive the Yanghwa Guild. At that time I used Asirante as my ID. As a result, I extorted 10 billion gold rings from them.
But they had now clearly realized that they could not win over my heart, because I was a descendant of the chairman of the Myongjin Guild. They had to be really frustrated and feel bitter at the fact that they had been deceived by me.
However, the people from the Yanghwa Guild didn't bother to mention it, so fortunately we avoided a situation where they might start picking a fight.
After seeing them off, I also had a chance to meet with India's Sidardt Guild, which I had once helped as Asirante to defeat the Chinese players. Since so many people had come to the ceremony, I didn't see them off until around noon.

"Now the only guests we have to see off are from the Novo Guild in Indonesia."
Finally, the last guests were about to leave. However, they were not the last guests from the beginning. In other words, we deliberately arranged to see this group off last, for what they said some time ago was very meaningful.
They opened the door of the reception room and came in.
"Congratulations, Chairman Hong!"
"Haha! Thank you for coming so far."
Although we had exchanged such greetings with lots of guests, we welcomed them sincerely as if we were meeting them for the first time here.
After exchanging pleasantries briefly, we cut to the chase immediately.
"This is it." Someone sitting next to the guy named Wayan, the Deputy of the Novo Guild, pulled out a sheaf of papers from his bag and gave them to him.
Wayan received the document and his face hardened slightly, "Honestly, I was a little worried. Obviously, I do this with good intentions, but if the results are not good, we could turn become enemies in an instant."
We knew what he was talking about, because they had tipped us off in advance.
They said this was a quest with 30,000 coins at stake!
But the problem was that this quest was a real-world quest, not a quest within Revival Legend.
Of course, there was no law that stopped a quest from coming into reality, when not only monsters but also all kinds of abilities, skills, and even items were being brought into reality. Nonetheless, we had no choice but to feel embarrassed to hear that.
As if he had read our minds, Wayan continued, "I have no intention of hiding it from you or trapping you, so I've written down everything here in this document. Of course, you don't have to proceed with the quest. Honestly I hope you won't because everybody has failed. Those who failed never showed up again in reality."
The Novo Guild must have been overjoyed to have this quest at first, because it would give them 30,000 coins when they succeeded in clearing it. In addition to those, there were other rewards as well, in addition to the coins!
But all of them had failed at the quest!
Wayan said, "Here it is. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact us at any time. I will tell you everything to the best of my knowledge."
We duly received the document from Wayan, the deputy leader of the Novo Guild, and kept talking with him a little longer after that.
The Novo Guild expressed their wishes that they would like to form a friendly relationship with the Myungjin Guild, and would cooperate if need be in the future.
The quest they brought this time was a gift for Myongjin, or more precisely, for me.
Of course, I didn't take them at face value, because they would never have brought it here if they had cleared it on their own. They had brought it to us after repeated failures.
Those who failed in the quest had never returned to reality!
It was clear that the Novo Guild had brought this quest to us in desperation; they didn't want to take care of it anymore!

The Little Things...
Set in the fictional universe of Runeterra (League of Legends™), the story follows four stout spirits known amidst circles of sorcerers and sages as Yordles on their journey across the vast and fantastical world they inhabit. From the treacherous waves outside Bilgewater to the parched deserts of Shurima and the peaks of Mount Targon. The party at first seeks monetary gain in the acquisition of noteworthy artifacts desired by their employer and fellow explorer, but soon finds that there is more to be gained in the relationship forged along the way and the experiences found within them. This series is more a conglomerate of short stories than a fully fledged novel with every two or three chapters being confined to its own miniaturized arc before another one starts. There will be updates semi-regularly and apologies in advance for any niggling grammatical errors, I'm not a published author. (This on-going series features a number of characters belonging to myself and others, half of which are talented artists who deserve your support!
