Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 377

Captain Lim continued, "The monsters appeared once or twice a day in the past, but these days they are appearing three or four times. Considering the trend, it looks like they are going to appear more often around the Myongjin Shelter alone."
Even though he said this nonchalantly, his mention of the 'Myongjin Shelter alone' struck me as very strange because this kind of frequent appearance was far from normal, which meant that it was 99% likely that someone had played a dirty trick.
But rather than figuring out who did it, the main problem was that I didn't know how to solve it.
Of course, the monsters were weak as a whole. So there was no major damage on our end.
However, there was no guarantee that only weak monsters would appear. Actually, I became more and more concerned that more powerful monsters would appear.
Everyone at the conference room was silent as if they shared my deep concern.
We continued the meeting for one more hour, but we could not come up with any solution because we didn't know the reason or the situation clearly.
Since we didn't know why, we couldn't find the right solution.
So we wrapped up the meeting after agreeing that Director Sok should work with his Intelligence Department to collect all the available information.
During broad daylight at the Myongjin Shelter one week later.
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
I used Fly in the middle of the Myongjin Shelter so I could get a birds eye view of the whole shelter, no matter how vast it was.
Of course, it didn't matter even if I could not see the monsters because as long as I had the intention to subdue the monsters appearing in and around the Myongjin Shelter, the roots would sense my intentions right away and wipe them out.
But the problem was Revival Legend. The roots didn't move when I was logged into Revival Legend. The reason the roots didn't move while I was asleep was because I had no determination to get rid of the monsters.

Since I had the will to get rid of the monsters right now, I felt more safe during the night because the roots didn't sleep during the night like me. The roots were really strong.
"Hmm. Obviously, someone must have used a dirty trick..."
First of all, this situation could not be normal.
Obviously, someone played a dirty trick on the Myongjin Shelter, but no matter how hard Director Sok tried, nobody could figure out why this was happening to the shelter.
As a result, we began to call the Myongjin Shelter the 'Land That Summons Monsters,' because
the monsters appeared more than ten times per day during the week.
Although they didn't increase everyday, they were gradually stronger than before.
The problem was that more powerful monsters would continue to appear in the future.
So some of the shelter people began to say it was about time for us to give up the Myongjin Shelter and move somewhere else.
But I didn't think of moving at all because that's what those responsible for this phenomenon were aiming for.
"By the way, I have to find a solution anyway..."
I deliberately spread rumors that I would grant one wish to anybody who would solve this problem
Of course, I had no intention of granting their wish. No matter how hard I asked around, there was none who knew the situation here very well, which meant that the one who could solve this problem was most likely the person who caused this problem.
As expected, nobody stepped forward to my suggestion.
In the meantime, monsters appeared more and more frequently.
So I was out in reality when I should have beenAt that moment, someone appeared on the rooftop of the first main base of Myongjin Shelter. When I confirmed it was my sister, I ended Fly and went down.
"How about it?" connected to Revival Legend like before.

The security guard had to be increased ten-fold, so taking control for two to three hours a day allowed those who achieved their reality realization rate to take a break comfortably. I could also cover for during the night when I went to sleep.
Anyway, while I was agonizing over how to find the solution, I got rid of the monsters that appeared east of the shelter using the roots.

In Barcelona, Spain at that time.
"Hehehe…"
Matthias, who made the Myongjin Shelter 'The Land That Summons Monsters' at the command of the Lucia Guild leader, burst into an empty laughter, for they inflicted little damage to the shelter despite their enormous effort.
"Are those the very roots that protected more than 10,000 ordinary people safely during the Borneche Expedition quest?"
"Yes."
"Oh my...does that make sense? How could the roots provide cover for the entire Myongjin Shelter and get rid of the monsters, even though they are weak? Moreover the roots are active during the night or early in the morning when Asirante is asleep. I can't believe it!"
Of course, Matthias knew immediately that the roots were not active while Asirante was connected to Revival Legend. In other words, the fact that the roots appeared during the day meant that Asirante was not connected to Revival Legend.
That's why Matthias had no choice but to frown deep down even though he was in a cheerful mood these days because while Asirante could not play Revival Legend as the guild leader wished, there were limits.
So Matthias, who was briefed about the developments about the Myongjin Shelter, opened his mouth, throwing the paper on the floor.
"Alright. Let me see how much the roots can do."
Matthias stopped paying attention to the Myongjin Shelter because the "Land That Summons Monsters' was not weak, and he bet everything on it.
***
It's been a month since monsters started appearing frequently in the Myongjin Shelter.
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
While I was hunting, I had some slight hope that the problem could be solved over time.
Regardless of whether it's a skill, a limited skill, or a trait, there was a retention time for all of them, and a cooldown to use it again.
Nonetheless, the monsters endlessly appeared as if to deny my hopeful assumption.
What's more, the monsters that appeared became much stronger than before.
Of course, we suffered little damage because we were well prepared after detecting such presymptoms. I couldn't say we didn't have any damage because the damage didn't necessarily mean human sacrifices.
The Myongjin Shelter has three huge main bases in the center, with twenty large and strong buildings surrounding them in a circle. Between the three main bases and the twenty buildings on the outskirts had numerous facilities including those for farming, raising animals, training, and leisurely activities. We had designed it like that on purpose so people had extra activities.
But more than half of those vast places were left neglected because the monsters appeared very erratically and frequently, so it would take enormous human and financial resources to protect all of them.
Given the trend of their appearance until now, it was obvious that more powerful monsters would appear more frequently in the future.
In other words, unless I stopped playing Revival Legend, it was too obvious that there would be more places left unattended in the future. That's why rumors were getting around in town that the Myongin Shelter had collapsed. Of course, they whispered about it behind our back.

Please vote on Web Fiction Guide (online novels, reviews) Novels Online Cover created by: Catastrophic_Finale http://royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=72311 Hello everyone, this is going to be my first book and I’m very excited to write it. I had many ideas I want to write about for a long time but never wrote the out. I started reading JPN LN then got into all the Chinese LN so was influence by both types. I already read a few ln about being a dungeon/dungeon master and really enjoy and one day suddenly had an idea. What if a cultivator was to become a dungeon? A lot of these dungeon ln all have someone with modern world experience become the dungeon so they all have this advantage of games but what if someone who is straight out of a xianxia novel instead? Someone who has no idea how a more medieval fantasy world works and have no idea what a dungeon even is. This give me a lot of fun things to write about and finally decide to try writing it share it with you all! I hope you all enjoy it and please leave comments/review telling me how I can improve.
