Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 186: NPC? (3)

“Currently, our men aboard the Edmund are ready to launch eleven missiles.”

“Hmm… How about the troops?”

“An sdditional 175 soldiers are on standby aboard the Edmund.”

“Good. We can’t let go of the first NPC we have encountered.”

“Yes, sir.”

As soon as Wilson issued the order, several boats were unloaded from the battleship Edmund on the coast of the island, and soon a large number of troops entered the uninhabited Hurd McDonald Island.

On the uninhabited Hurd McDonald Island.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Kuhhhhhhhuk!”

“Damn it!”

Captain Michael had no choice but to swear at the stranger who escaped after puncturing a hole in the neck of one of his subordinates. Besides, Michael clearly saw the man take a bullet to the head in return, but he survived the shot.

So, Michael wondered if he could harm that man even with a rifle.

‘Damn it! This shit is unbelievable! It’s like the world has gone crazy!’

Of course, they were briefed about the Gray Wolves, but they had no information about this monster-like human.

But Michael hid his feelings. Instead, he cheered up his subordinates while shooting at the stranger.

“That guy is not invincible! He must be wounded, too. So, focus on firing in the direction he approaches us from.”

“Understood!”

“Okay.”

Since they had bountiful combat experiences, the soldiers were not agitated. But Michael had no choice but to express regrets about the 15 strong men who disappeared from the battlefield.

In his eyes, these 15 men blocked the Gray Wolves bare handed without any firearms.

But Michael shook off such regrets, and focused on what he could do for now.

Ten minutes later, when Michael was left with less than 10 men, the renforcement squad numbering 175 arrived. Since they had been thoroughly prepared for the battle by watching the video, they worked together effectively and finally succeeded in killing the stranger after a fierce fight.

But the stranger uttered something strange on his dying breath.

[%#%!%!!^$^& @$*&^!#%!]

The soldiers who survived the fighting did not shout for joy when they watched him falling after spitting out some incomprehensible words because they were amazed by his monster-like abilities. Honestly, they wondered if they really won.

Although the soldiers here did not understand his words, those who watched the video and played “Revival Legend” at least once could understand his last words.

[Kuuuuuuuuuh! Although I will die here, we will never accept you!]

In Washington DC, USA.

“His corpse! Collect it! That’s ours!”

The head of the U.S. government, Schuler Wilson, ordered the soldiers to collect the stranger’s body immediately because an NPC’s corpse was far more valuable than that of a monster.

But something incomprehensible happened.

“….”

“….”

“….”

In ‘Revival Legend’, just like all other games, when a monster died, its body disappeared instantly, dropping golden rings and miscellaneous items.

Of course, they knew it was the same in reality because they experienced it several times when they killed monsters, including orcs.

However, they never thought it would be the same for an NPCs corpse, so the cabinet members of the US Government, including Wilson, were shocked when the NPC’s corpse vanished. They had lost the lives of 70 military members to defeat this stranger and they could not even recover his corpse.

Besides, they also lost the five captured Gray Wolves while they were busy fighting the stranger, so the US Government leaders including Wilson could not help but be filled with regrets.

After confirming all that, Wilson quietly opened his mouth.

“Plan everything again from scratch. Maybe we are confronting change that is far more dangerous and darker than we think.”

“Sure!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Understood!.”

The disturbances involving the NPC who first appeared on the uninhabited island caused a big ripple within the United States and quietly passed.

***

In Seoul, South Korea.

“Access!”

[You have accessed ‘Revival Legend’.]

I accessed the game with a smile on my lips because I took perfect revenge and got so much from it.

So, as soon as Kotum Castle appeared before my eyes, I opened my mouth quietly.

“Check status window.”

[Name: Lumen, Asirante

Level: 700

Number of kills: 1285, Number of deaths: 0

Title: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 8 others.

Health: 3,132,000 / 3,132,000

Mana: 2,176,000 / 2,176,000

Strength: 4550 Agility: 3750 Stamina: 17700

Willpower: 10650 Intellect: 22050

Remaining Stat Points: 2957

Remaining Skill Points: 0

Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Enhancement.]

I have not leveled up even once after achieving level 700.

But still a lot changed, especially the remaining stat points and titles.

“Check title first.”

[Title: Quest Craftsman.

-It is a title that can only be obtained by the man who has cleared more quests than anyone else.

: Increases health by 100,000.

: Increases mana by 100,000.

: All stat points increase by 200.

: Upon successful completion of a quest, an additional 100-300 remaining stat points are given depending on the difficulty of the quest.]

It was clear that this title was a little above the intermediate level, given the increase in health, mana and stat points. Obviously, it was not a lot, but still something I could not ignore.

Moreover, I have the confidence to clear any quest.

“Alright. Let me invest all this.”

I turned my eyes from the title to the 2957 remaining stat points, and invested all of them in intellect.

“Hahahaha”

At that moment I could not help but laugh, seeing my intellect reaching 25,000, because it showed I was doing very well.

Anyway, after checking all of them, I was about to move to the hunting ground when I remembered that I had forgotten something, which was none other than the legendary grade blessing that I obtained this time.

“Check the legendary grade blessing!”

[Inactivated blessing (Legendary)

-It is still inactive.

Once activated, one of the options in the blessing will be randomly selected, and that option is automatically applied at all times even if the blessing is stored in the inventory.

-Once the blessing is activated, it belongs to its owner and cannot be exchanged. (Deletable.)

-Only up to 3 activated blessings can be stored in the inventory regardless of their grade. (If you have 3 or more activated blessings in your inventory, further blessing wills not be activated.)]

‘Um… I wish I could get EXP, stat points or skills.’

Since I could get the benefits even when I stored it in my inventory, not to mention equipping it, it was really a valuable blessing.

That’s why I had never seen even a general grade blessing at the auction house.

Of course, my family members wanted to give me both general and rare grade blessings because they had no legendary grade blessing.

But I refused to accept them because I was not so greedy enough to covet them when I clearly knew that general and rare grade blessings were very uncommon and the options provided were not remarkable.

Moreover, even the executives of the Myongjin Group lacked blessings to wear.

Anyway, I opened my mouth, hoping for a good option from the legendary grade blessing which was so valuable.

“Activate the blessing!”

[You have activated the legendary grade blessing.]

Along with the message, various colors began to circulate in the shape of a fist-sized bead which had no characteristics. When a red colour started to dominate, a message rang.

[You have the blessing ‘#3 Crisis Preparation’.

-As your health decreases, your combat power increases.

Everytime your health decreases by 10%, your combat power increases by 1%.

-If your maximum health falls below 10%, the damage you suffer from an attack will be nullified just once, regardless of the attack.

: 30 day cooldown.]

I had no choice but to frown at the message that when my health went down by 10%, my combat power would increase by 1% because the rate of increase was so low. action

In fact, when I invested around 3000 remaining stat points in intellect, I enjoyed an increase in stamina proportionate to that. So, I wondered if I really needed the blessing when I had more than 20000 stamina.

However, seeing the options below, I had no choice but to welcome it, though, for if I really reached a situation where my health dropped below 10%, I had an opportunity to turn the tide by enduring the opponent’s attack.

Of course, I wondered if that would ever happen, but I was very satisfied with the fact that I had something like insurance anyway.

“Hahahaha. Good. From now on, let me focus on hunting.”

Since I was very satisfied with the legendary grade blessing, I could not help but smile all the way while heading to the hunting ground.

Why? Because I needed to reach level 1200 as soon as possible.

Of course, there was one other reason, namely the joy of hunting.

I could not deny the fact that hunting itself was very fun to me.
