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.

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%.]

8 154Impossible Devices
Twenty years after the start of the new millenium, the world was largely at peace. Crime was at an all-time low in most nations. No large scale conflicts between countries currently existed, and the people of Earth had even begun to see hope for the future. In the year 2020, all of that changed. The first occurrences of the interdimensional reality altering zones occurred. Named 'Dungeons' these supernatural and alien existences unleashed monsters and mayhem upon the world. Only after considerable loss of life and adaptation to the new world order did people begin to rally back. The discovery of a strange artificact item in one of the dungeons allowed humanity to develop powers far beyond their wildest imagination. This device worked on principles considered to be impossible. It was not the only one. Items of super-science and magic were discovered inside the dungeons of the world that could not possibly work according to the known laws of physics. Yet, they did. A special school was built to train young people so that they could specialize in dungeon exploration, in the defeat of monsters and the acquisition of the Impossible Devices.
