Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 287
Advertisement
In front of the Dungeon of Ordeal in Indonesia's Gorontalo region.
"How many hours are left until the dungeon collapses?"
"Less than 20 hours."
"Oh my…"
Maulama, the leader of the Novo Guild, had no choice but to clear his throat nervously after hearing that there was less than a day left.
It had already been 4 days since Asirante entered the cave, but the fact that there was still no change meant that he failed to clear the quest. In other words, the remaining eighty people trapped inside the cave would be all dead.
'Damn it! If Asirante dies, the Myongjin people wouldn't sit idle."
Asirante was a promising young man with a bright future.
If the Myongjin Guild lost him, they would obviously punish the Novo Guild.
Moreover, Asirante was not an ordinary guild member, but the son of Chairman Hong.
But Maulama looked at the matter from a different angle.
'Alright, the Myongjin Guild without Asiran is like a tiger without teeth. What's more, if I announce that Asirante is dead, there will be a lot of people who will welcome it with open hands and offer all kinds of support to us.'
In his eyes, Asirante's death was not terrible news because he was simply too strong.
But the problem was not Asirante. It was the eighty members that he invested in and raised with sweat and toils that would also be killed along with Asirante. He felt so heartbroken when he thought of their fate, and at the same time felt angry that his rival guilds would rejoice at Asirante's death when they didn't contribute to it at all.
In other words, the best thing right now for Maulama was for Asirante to come back alive with the eighty members of his guild. However, he had already concluded that Asirante failed to clear the quest.
While standing on one side, Maulama looked at the members of the Myongjin Guild.
At a glance, all of them were restless.

Until a moment ago, they were engaged in a big fuss, divided into one camp who wanted to dispatch elite guild members into the dungeon immediately and the other camp who wanted to wait a little more.
Watching them, Maulama thought that if the dungeon was destroyed and Asirante died, it would not be strange at all if they attacked him right away.
So he had his entourage prepared for combat just in case.
Even if they did not intend to kill him, it was obvious that he would be their arch enemy.
At that moment, numerous people appeared around the Dungeon of Ordeal.
Apparently most of them were ordinary people, but Maulama could find Verdi, his maternal nephew and leader of the Novo Guild's second raid team. There were also other members of his expedition and raid teams present there as well.
"Oh! God!"
Novo Guild leader Maulama expressed his joy, raising his hands to the sky.
Even though his guild paid a huge amount of 30 billion golden rings among other concessions to the Myongjin Guild, the survival of his eighty members were more than enough to make up for that.
Then he immediately started looking for Asirante, or Juyoung Hong.
Inside the Dungeon of Ordeal.
The moment I destroyed the crystal tower, a series of messages rang, then I experienced a strong pull.
What I saw after that was no longer the inside of the cave.
At the same time, I could hear loud shouts coming from around me.
"Wow!"
"He has come out!"
"He's finally escaped!"
"He has survived! Yeah!"
Inside the cavel were not only the eighty people who had raised their reality actualization rate, but also a number of ordinary people who were dragged inside the cave when the dungeon was created. And the ordinary people hugged each other and shouted for joy.
However, I did not pay much attention to them because of the messages that were ringing in succession.
[You have successfully cleared the quest 'Break through the Dungeon of Ordeal.'

- As a reward, you receive the following items.
: 1 billion Golden Rings.
: 60,000 coins.
: 800 remaining stat points.
: Title 'One Who Overcomes Ordeals'']
And there was another message.
[You have the title 'Quest Master'.
- Upon clearing a quest, you will acquire an additional 100~300 remaining stat points depending on the difficulty of the quest.
- Currently the system is calculating the difficulty level of clearing the quest 'Break through the Dungeon of Ordeal'.
: You receive 300 remaining stat points.]
To be honest, I was a little embarrassed by the huge rewards.
Since all the areas were safety zones, there were no monsters or people who could harm me.
Anyway, I was so happy about the huge rewards which did not correspond to my minimal effort at all, when some people called me.
"Juyoung Hong!"
"Juyoung Hong!"
Both shouts were mixed with quite intense emotions.
However, the first shout was obviously filled with joy, while the other one was filled with displeasure.
That's why their calls felt different to me.
"Juyoung Hong! Why did you come out so late? Don't you know how worried our family members are?"
"Juyoung Hong! You son of a bitch! How did you come out alive? Did you already know how to get out of there in advance? Did you knowingly make fun of us?"
The first person who shouted out to me was my sister, while the second one was Verdi.
Of course, I could understand both of their emotions.
I clearly told my sister and other members of my family that I would come back quickly, but I was very late.
And Verdi was clearly displeased that I had deceived him and received all the rewards for clearing the quest. What's more, he promised me 89 billion gold rings if I broke the crystal tower.
"Shut up, Verdi!"
The guild leader Maulama didn't stop my sister, but he stopped Verdi.
But he couldn't make even the other members of Verdi's team shut up.
"Maulama, that bastard has deceived us."
"That's right. He was supposed to die, but he's still alive like that!"
"Juyoung, you scammer-like bastard! I will break your jaw and tear apart your limbs!"
Verdi wasn't the only one who felt deceived, so the rest of the group also cursed me.
But those who were here were not only from the Myongjin Guild, but from the Novo Guild as well.
So, they must have been well aware of me.
Obviously, my dramatic appearance after clearing the quest was terrific enough to enjoy the spotlight of the world.
Nonetheless, the atmosphere became cold when the Novo Guild members who were in the cave with me hurled abusive language at me, calling me a scammer, son of a bitch, and even threatening to rip my limbs apart.
As a result, their guild leader Maulama's face turned red at first, but soon it turned pale.
At that moment, the eighty members including Verdi noticed something strange.
However, I didn't attack them or give them a piece of my mind because they didn't know me until then. Of course, ignorance could be a sin in this world, but I decided that I didn't have to punish them for not recognizing me. After all, they were poor guys who would have to pay the 89 billion golden rings that they had promised me, for which they were destined to get cursed at by their boss.
Anyway, I ignored them and said to my sister, "Let's go home. I can't stand staying here anymore. I would like to take a vacation, but it looks like playing Revival Legend is my vacation."
Then I shouted at those guys affiliated with the Myongjin Guild.
"Everyone belonging to Myongjin, prepare to move. I have no intention of being an unwelcome guest to the grand welcome party hosted by the Novo Guild!"
"Understood!"
"Okay!"

FoxStone
Debut: the day every young gentleperson of age gathers to receive their Spirit Blessing and shift for the first time into their second form. Except for those who don't. Beatrice's worst fear is to be one of the unlucky few trapped perpetually in a human body, cut off from the magic of the spirits and unfit for any respectable pack or pride. But when the time comes to face her fear, the outcome is one she never could have imagined. Be warned, this story is some highly experimental fluff—an unapologetically girly, unrelentingly bisexual, Regency/Victorian-ish fantasy mish-mash. It does have a dark side, though, so don’t come in expecting all sunshine and roses. Worthy of note, given the reputation of shifter stories: there will be no explicit sex in this tale. There will, however, be lots of polyamorous romance, necromancy, portal magic, capricious spirits, elemental mages, an unconventional take on shifters and a highly ordered society built around their existence.
