Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 342
Advertisement
At the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan the next day.
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
Since level 1300 was not my goal, I continued to hunt like before, and soon a message rang.
[The event 'Collect More Coins Than Others' has now started.
-If you shout 'Start Event!', you will be immediately moved to the hunting ground assigned to you for one week.
-If you log out during this one week, you will automatically exit the hunting round, but you will receive the same death penalty as if you died in there.]
"Man, if anybody dies even once, they are just finished."
Since this was a one-week event, receiving the one-week death penalty meant the same as being automatically eliminated from this event.
But that had nothing to do with me.
So I immediately opened my mouth.
"Start Event!"
[You are now participating in the event 'Collect More Coins Than Others.'
-Lumen, Asirante has been allocated the level 2700 hunting ground.
-You are now being transferred to the Garden of Gods.]
As soon as I heard the message, I felt like I was being dragged somewhere, but a wide green field and all kinds of colorful flowers did not appear before my eyes.
Instead, I was greeted by the black land as if it had been burnt, and a gloomy sky as if it was about to storm right away.
So I had no choice but to say something.
"Man, these guys called gods have a very unique taste!"
It was definitely called the Garden of Gods, but it was far from the image of a garden that I had expected, no matter how closely I looked at it.
Anyway, I quickly looked around and prepared for any possible attack by monsters, but I could not see any single monster.
"Hmm. Do I have to get out of this safety zone that I'm stepping on?"

The safety zone was spread out over a fairly wide area, probably to prevent the players from suffering an accidental death as soon as they entered the hunting ground.
So I moved to the end of the safety zone using Blink, then stepped out of it.
Then, suddenly a message rang.
[You are restricted by debuffs.]
"Uh?"
This was quite an unexpected message. So I couldn't help but be a little perplexed, for the words "restricted" could not mean anything good.
Moreover, I also had the traits of All Buffs, All Debuffs.
As if they didn't want to give me time to think of the trait, another message rang.
[Anybody can set debuff restrictions as long as they have the desire and passion to take risks and pull ahead of others.
-You can set restrictions in increments of 10%.
: When you set 10% restrictions, your combat power is reduced by 10%. However, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 30%.
: When you set 20% restrictions, your combat power is reduced by 20%.
However, the drop frequency of coins of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 60%.
:
:
: When you set 90% restrictions, your combat power is reduced by 90%.
However, the drop frequency of coins and the number of coins dropped will increase by 270%.]
[You can set restriction settings when you move out of the safety zone. In order to change the existing restrictions value or to make a new setting, you must move in and out of the safety zone again.]
[Currently, Lumen, Asirante's restrictions are 0%.]
"…"
First of all, I carefully examined the rather long message.
Then I had no choice but to let out a sigh at the last line.
Obviously, it was a fair event because each participant was given a hunting ground befitting their level. But the fairness was gone because of the restrictions.
Advertisement
The problem with the restrictions was that those with a lower combat power were in a more favorable situation. If a person with 100 combat power chose the 10% restrictions, he would have 90 combat power. That was enough for such players to fight monsters at their level.
However, I obviously had at least 10,000 or more combat power.
In other words, if I set only 10% restrictions, my combat power of 10,000 would be reduced significantly to 9,000.
That's why I couldn't help but laugh in frustration.
A little later, I chose not to set any restrictions and left it at 0%.
Was it because I might die from such restrictions? Of course, that was not my reason.
Even though I was given the level 2700 hunting ground, I was not weak enough to be in danger because my combat power would drop by 20 or 30%.
However, since the event had just started, and I didn't know which monsters would appear, I thought that I didn't need to be hasty.
So I just left the safety zone and walked a few steps when I suddenly thought of something
Tramp- Tramp-
So I turned back and moved back into the safety zone, before exiting again.
A message rang at that moment.
[You are restricted by debuffs.
-Lumen, Asirante's current restrictions are 0%.
- You can set new restrictions.]
When I first moved out of the safety zone, the same message as this one immediately rang, and I questioned 'Why?' because I had the trait of All Buffs, All Debuffs.
In other words, I was not supposed to be affected by the debuffs.
But when I saw the message about the restrictions, I assumed that my trait 'All Buffs, All Debuffs' would not work because this was not the same as debuffs, limited skills or traits used by users.
A little later, however, I wondered whether my trait, 'All Buffs, All Debuffs' would not work because my restrictions were 0%.
In other words, 0% was obviously a nominal debuff that would inflict little damage.
Maybe that's why the 'All Buffs, All Debuffs' message didn't ring.
"Alright. This is just a test anyway, Let me set the debuff restrictions at 10%."
[You have set the debuff restrictions.
-Restrictions: 10%.
-In return for decreasing your combat power by 10%, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 30%.]
I just set the restrictions at 10% casually, but I was really nervous.
I was not sure if it worked, and even if it didn't work, I didn't know if I could get the results that I wanted.
Anyway, I waited for the next message nervously, and soon the message rang.
[You currently have 'All Buffs, All Debuffs'.
-You are not affected by debuff restrictions.]
[Lumen, Ashirante's restrictions are 10%.
-In return for decreasing your combat power by 0%, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 30%.]
"Wow!"
I was half in belief and half in doubt.
The message showed exactly what I wanted.
So, I immediately moved back in and out of the safety zone, and again quickly opened my mouth when the message about restrictions rang.
"90 percent!"
[You currently have 'All Buffs, All Debuffs'.
-You are not affected by debuff restrictions.]
[Lumen, Asirante's restrictions are 90%.
- In return for decreasing your combat power by 0%, the drop frequency of coins and the number of dropped coins will increase by 270%.]

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
