Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 3

Episode 3. 1st closed beta (2).

tuk. tuk.

He lifted his foot and hit the ground hard, then repeated the motion of squeezing and extending his fingers.

“Well. I was worried because it was a second-generation entry-level connector, but it’s not that bad.”

The sensation he felt every time he stepped on the ground and the sensation he felt when he clasped his hands wasn’t too awkward.

Of course, there is a slight difference compared to the high-end 3G connector.

“great. Shall we go then!”

While downloading yesterday, I checked some information on the ‘Forgotten Legend’ homepage.

And I decided on a job similar to what I would do in the first closed beta.

No, not only ‘Forgotten Legend’, but in almost all role-playing games, the profession I choose is one.

A profession capable of long-distance combat, or a character who is heavily armed with such skills.

Because I personally think the best attack is a player’s victory.

Moreover, there is a powerful oriental medicine that can be blown with seonbang as much as possible.

So, in general, I played mainly elemental wizards.

Of course, it is only natural that the body is weak.

But it didn’t matter.

Because it’s not the style to enjoy thrills against powerful monsters or enemies on purpose.

“Check status window.”

First, open the status window.

[Name: lumen

Level: 0

Title: None.

Health: 100/100 Mana: 100/100

Strength: 10 Agility: 10 Stamina 10

Spirit: 10 Intellect: 10

Remaining stat points: 0

Remaining skill points: 0

Characteristics: None.]

“It’s similar.”

Forgotten Legend’s status screen is not much different from any other mmorpg game I’ve played.

So I was satisfied.

Because, unlike reality, my abilities are clearly expressed in numbers this way.

strength, agility, stamina, etc.

And as those numbers increase, I will definitely become stronger as the numbers increase.

“Inventory open.”

I finished checking the status window, so I opened the inventory right away.

[-Light club for beginners.

-50 crumbly bread.

– 50 drinks.

-1,000 Golden Rings.]

Inventory with only 4 items.

Moreover, the money of 1,000 Golden Rings, which I do not know how much it was worth.

However, it was too thin to ignore everything and call it a stick, so I took out a beginner’s stick that looked like a stick.

“Check item.”

[Light club for beginners (normal)

-It is a light stick that anyone can use easily.

-Physical attack power increased by 3.

-Durability: 50/50]

“This is to raise lvl 5. Then learn the skills you want and grow.”

Before logging in, I skimmed through the Forgotten Legend homepage, so I immediately grabbed the club in one hand and moved it.

To the training ground with a scarecrow.

Gray mullet! Gray mullet! Gray mullet!

And just as I was moving, I saw users participating in the closed beta appearing around me.

But regardless, I turned on the village map and moved quickly.

Kang. Kang. Kang.

He swung his club for beginners towards the scarecrow.

Like a game of catching a mole, towards the place where the red dot appears.

And the more successful the attack towards the red dot is, the faster the red dot appears and disappears.

Then I ended up missing the red dot.

[Successful 7 consecutive hits.

-Additional experience points are provided.]

At my current level, I can hit about 7-8 times in a row.

And after several successive hits like that, a message rang.

[Level has risen.][You have reached level 5.

-Experience that can be acquired by attacking the Scarecrow is greatly reduced.][Skill acquisition is possible by reaching level 5.

-The first 3 skill points are provided.]

A message that sounds after reaching level 5.

At that message, the club’s attack on the scarecrow stopped.

Because the original target was level 5.

And before I knew it, I moved out of the other users who attacked the Scarecrow to learn the skill.

‘By the way, there are no restrictions as there are no job slots in the status window.’

In general, other mmorpg games have jobs from the start.

For example, a warrior, an assassin, an archer, a wizard, an animist, etc.

Therefore, the characteristics, skills, and items that can be used for the job are determined from the beginning.

But ‘Forgotten Legend’ didn’t have that.

The fighting style was determined according to where the stat points were set and what skills were acquired.

So, according to the description of the website, it was possible to develop one’s own original character and it was said that it was possible to grow into a hybrid character sufficiently.

Of course, there were comments that received an overwhelming number of recommendations, saying, ‘The end of the hybrid character is deletion.’

And I totally agree with that comment.

Because Jjambap is not a day or two that I have enjoyed playing the game.

In particular, considering the synergy effect, it is more effective to bring together exceptional people in one field.

But I’m only soloing all the time.

So I rather liked the system of ‘Forgotten Legend’.

The thought of learning what is lacking one by one.

Then even if it becomes a hybrid character that is neither this nor that.

Of course, there is still a fighting style that will become the default.

An elemental magician with powerful oriental medicine.

So, before that, in other games, I mainly played Fire or Lightning-type wizards.

Then I met an Ice-type wizard.

I couldn’t help but like it.

Because of additional damage frostbite.

Of course, there were games where there was no additional damage frostbite, but in general, the debuff of reduced movement speed was attached to the frostbite in the games.

A debuff that can only boast of the highest efficiency for me who attacks from a distance.

So from then on, I always chose the Ice-type wizard.

The damage is definitely lacking compared to the Fire and Lightning series, but it has the ability to offset it.

And I plan to do it again.

Because it was confirmed that it is a frostbite that has a chance to give a movement speed reduction debuff to an opponent already hit.

Soon after leaving the scarecrow training ground, I approached the huge tower in the center of the village.

‘You can learn skills here, right?’

Even though I hadn’t touched the tower directly, a message rang as soon as I got closer.

[This is a tower in which the abilities of forgotten heroes are recorded.

-Acquisition restrictions exist depending on one’s ability.]

“Search for Ice-based Magic.”

He didn’t want to check every single skill he boasted of an enormous amount, so he immediately used the search function.

Then a message appeared in front of me.

[Currently, there are ice-based magic that can be acquired.]

: As levels and experience points are accumulated, it can be upgraded to a usable frostbite.

[Click the skill to see the detailed description of each skill.]

Five skills listed with a roughly brief description.

Of course it was shabby.Even more so because I’ve already experienced things like Ice Storm and Blizzard in other games.

But I didn’t really care.

Because right now, I am a beginner among beginners and only level 5.

“Level 1 Ice Ball, Level 1 Ice Bolt, Level 1 Mild Frostbite Damage Acquisition.”

3 skill points received after reaching level 5.

So, I chose level 1 ice balls and level 1 ice bolts for attack, and the slight frostbite damage to back them up.

Since I was only planning to attack from a distance, I didn’t feel the need for an ice shield or an ice weapon.

[I have chosen a level 1 ice ball, a level 1 ice bolt, and minor frostbite damage.

– Requires a total of 3 skill points and 700 Golden Rings.

-Do you want to learn 3 skills?]

“Acquire.”

Soon, a message rang saying that he had acquired a level 1 ice ball, a level 1 ice bolt, and weak frostbite additional damage.

And at that message, I immediately turned away from the tower.

to try it out right away.

outside the gate.

“It’s definitely a novice area, so it’s only natural.”

Outside the gates were Orcs and Goblins, typical of low-level monsters.

Of course, it wasn’t just monsters.

“Fireball.”

“Power shot!”

“Shield push.”

Outside the gates, there were those who hunted before me.

Each of them abused their skills as if they were doing a demonstration.

Seeing that, I immediately ran towards the orcs in the immediate vicinity.

“Ice Ball.”

Then, it moved exactly as far as the ice ball could reach and threw a chunk of ice at the orc.

bang!

“Queek.”

Like a monster for a beginner who has just encountered the game, he is blankly dazed. An orc who was hit with a lump of ice in the head and also in the back of the head.

And the orc fell down with a scream of death in one shot.

Of course he didn’t just die.

[You have acquired 450 experience.]

A message indicating that you have gained experience.

In the place where the orcs disappeared, there was a golden golden ring.

“Huh.”

Simple hunting, of course.

Moreover, very low level monsters.

But it was fun.

Because the way to get stronger was very clear.

Contrary to the reality that no matter how much you study, you are still in vain.

So, without realizing it, with a smile on my lips, I picked up the 1 Golden Ring that an orc had dropped when dying, and again used ice balls and ice bolts alternately towards other orcs and goblins, immersed in hunting.
