Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 449

Chapter 449: 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 (2)

Obviously, this was an easy hunting ground for me from the beginning.

Even though I became even stronger all of a sudden, I was already really strong in the past.

That’s why I could kill several rulers of the Royal Districts, who were reputed to be unusually strong, when I invaded their area Kuhana as part of the Advance Party Team.

But now I’ve become much stronger than before. So much so that there are no appropriate words to describe my power.

Even though this was a level 1800 hunting ground, I felt like it was so easy hunting the monsters here that it might as well be an orc hunting ground. What’s more, the monsters here were far from being tough monsters befitting the name Ancient Spirits.

Nonetheless, I did not stop attacking the monsters.

“Ice Storm!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

Flop!

Flop!

To be honest, I was skeptical about whether it was worth it to keep hunting here, but it didn’t mean hunting was not beneficial to me at all. I was still willing to hunt here even if it was of the slightest benefit to me.

Anyway, I could easily kill monsters with just one level 7 AOE skill without even using Ice Field or Multiple Thin Ice, so I kept hunting.

But while I was absorbed into hunting for a while, an incident occured that stopped me from hunting.

A message rang all of a sudden.

[Hello. This is ‘Revival Legend’.

– We will inform you of some changes.

: From now on, new access restrictions have been extended to level 300, level 400, level 500, level 600, and level 700 following the earlier restrictions to level 100 and level 200.

:The passage to Kuhana has expanded significantly, and it will expand even more as time goes on.]

“How come they announced it out of the blue?”

There was quite a long interval in the leadup to the access restrictions to level 100 and level 200 right after the creation of new accounts for Revival Legend was banned.

But this time, the restrictions reached as high as level 700 all of a sudden.

Of course, it might not be a big deal for the users at the top, but in the end, it meant that all users below level 700 had degenerated to ordinary people. In other words, it became impossible for them to reach level 1200, which in turn made it impossible to reach their reality actualization rate when they were previously guaranteed 10% at that point because of the disappearance of the level 1100 privilege ‘Coin Exchange’

“I wonder if all this is because of that…”

Something popped to my mind the moment I was so startled by the rapid changes. It was my conversation with Fashant, the incarnation of the Spirit King and the ruler of the 7th Royal District.

When I first saw him in Kuhanat, I lied to him that there were very many strong players like me on Earth, so it was not me who killed the black liquid man, the ruler of the 4th Royal District.

But Fashant sneered at me by saying, “Lol. Obviously, ‘Forgotten Legend’ and ‘Revival Legend’ are games that the legendary Jiwon Lee put all his toil and sweat into. Even if I admit that he has an almighty power, is it possible that there can be another ultrastrong player like you while Lee is dealing with those who once played in Forgotten Legend and those who are currently playing in Revival Legend? Even though Jiwon Lee has huge power, that’s simply impossible. You have already surpassed what’s impossible.”

To put it simply, the current Revival Legend is being maintained by Jiwon Lee’s power.

But what if strong players keep appearing and surpass his overall power to manage?

‘Does it mean he intends to get rid of those at lower levels first?’

In other words, I felt as if the access restrictions to Revival Legend meant deleting the records for the sake of the strong players.

Even though it was simply an educated guess, I strongly felt I was right

Aside from me, over 2000 people who participated in the Advance Party event received the rewards that were close to one for the winner in any good event or quest.

After thinking about it for a moment, I immediately charged at the ancient spirits again.

I was confident that such level restrictions would affect me even in the future, but that message certainly motivated me to raise my level even more.

Besides, the passage was expanding at the moment.

When I thought of the rulers of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Royal Districts, the supreme rulers in Kuhana, I could not help but want to seize the opportunity to confront them as soon as possible.

In the meantime, there were various developments inside ‘Revival Legend’ when the new message on level restrictions was announced.

[You are denied access to Revival Legend because you are level 488.

-You have been forced to log out, so you will no longer be able to access Revival Legend.]

[You are denied access to Revival Legend because you are level 628.

-You have been forced to log out, so you will no longer be able to access Revival Legend.]

[You are denied access to Revival Legend because you are level 699

-You have been forced to log out, so you will no longer be able to access Revival Legend.]

Quite a lot of users, including those who were just one level short of level 700, were forcibly thrown out of ‘Revival Legend’. As a result, there was a huge commotion among numerous users around the world. Besides, the level restrictions were announced all of a sudden without any warning like they did in the past.

“Damn it!”

“I was level 685!”

“How funny is this? I was level 699. My EXP was 94%. Shit! I would have reached level 700 if I had just one more day or several more hours!”

“Why did they make such a bombshell announcement all of a sudden?”

Because those level 700 or lower who were thrown out of the game, not only individuals, but also large guilds and groups did not notice the words in the bottom part of the message and the implications of the expanded passage to Kuhana and its gradual expansion over time.

For them, the access restrictions to those below level 700 were more pressing.

What’s more, there was no guarantee that a message about the access restrictions to those at level 800, level 900 and even level 1000 would not ring even tomorrow.

***

In Australia while the rest of the world was in turbulence because of the level restrictions message.

Australia is the 6th largest area in the world even though it has a population of less than 24 million. Therefore, the center was mostly empty as the population was concentrated in the coastal area. So much so that even if you drive a car there for several hours, you will not be able to see any people or buildings.

So nobody knew that something like soap bubbles were rising from the ground.

Pop! Pop!

The soap bubble floated high into the air, before bursting and scattering black and red liquid all over the ground.

At the same time, the ground affected turned black and red with the sound of something burning.

Of course, it happened in a very small area, so it was not very noticable.

However, as the area was expanded little by little, more bubbles were formed, and the red and black areas continued to expand at a rapid rate with nobody there noticing it.
