Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 44

44 episodes. New quest.

“connect.”

[Access to Revival Legend.]

Soon before her eyes appeared the muddy swampy safety zone from which she had logged out during the day.

in a very quiet manner.

tuk. tuk.

But then, I could feel someone tap on my shoulder from behind.

Obviously I logged out in one corner of this swamp safety zone.

So I quickly turned back to the fact that there was someone behind me as soon as I logged in.

It’s true that even if it’s impossible to attack because it’s a safety zone, it’s unpleasant.

However.

“Huh?”

Of course, I thought it would be a user.

There were those who guessed.

The man who forced me to buy garbage-like boots for 70,000 gold rings to me, who I often pretend to know.

But it wasn’t.

But I was embarrassed just because he wasn’t him, but I couldn’t help but feel even more embarrassed that he was an NPC and not a user like me.

Because it’s something I never thought of.

Of course, as if there was nothing wrong with my embarrassment, the NPC bowed his head toward me and said.

“Hello. I am Kihanna, a resident of the pioneer city of this swampy swamp.”

“…Yes. Hello.”

A creature called an NPC.

Naturally, but you’re used to it.

If the game is an MMORPG, NPCs are essential for the smooth progress of the game.

And, of course, there were also NPCs in this ‘Revival Legend’.

In the form of a shop owner or the owner of a cafe called a lazy afternoon in Kotum Castle Square, which I have been to a few times, and the staff who serve.

But I never thought that I would go out like this and pretend to know him first.

It’s also a villager NPC.

“Do you know the origins of our pioneer city?”

Kihanna suddenly asks a question about the origins of the pioneer city.

Of course, but I don’t know.

There was not enough time for hunting, and he didn’t come to check it out.

And Kihanna spoke to me one after another, apparently expecting my reaction.

“Then can you give me a moment to talk?”

At Kihanna’s words, the word quest flashed past.

In other games, quests that are already open to everyone.

Moreover, it was the reality of other games that all quests from progress to clear methods were all open to the public.

But ‘Revival Legend’ was different.

none.

The way to obtain the quest, the progress, and the contents of the clear are written everywhere.

And that was the content I confirmed this time by asking my sister for information about the quests that were made on a regular basis.

That’s why I’ve been told that if I get a quest, go ahead and do it if I don’t find it.”Yes. Let’s do it.”

First, he nodded and answered.

Anyway, I got a lot more benefits than I expected from the level 100-limited enhancement quest or the 400-level limited Scorpion King’s quest that made even love and hate.

If there is another quest right in front of me, I want to do it right away.

“thank you. Anyway, what should I call you…”

Kihanna asks for my name.

I was going to mention lumen for a moment, but I changed it.

“Ashirante.”

The owner of the ice emperor’s guardian sword.

[This sword contains the final determination of Ashirante, the master and emperor of ice, who resisted the sun god Morotu, who burned and evaporated everything in the world.]

Clearly, the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword was brief, but that explanation was written on it.

“Ashirante… that’s a really good name. Just like him in myths.”

I do not know.

I wonder if that Ice Emperor, Ashirante, is the one in the myth that Kihanna spoke of.

But I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Because it was a word that came to mind when I thought of it instead of lumen.

Anyway, Kihanna’s words continued.

It wasn’t that long.

So, in a nutshell, Kihanna and the people who built the city of the pioneers here are all slaves.

It was said that the king had been ordered to create a frontier as a condition of breaking free from slavery.

So, the city of pioneers was created.

Of course, he said that even this muddy swamp had the hard work of the pioneers, including Kihanna.

However.

“them. They came in and started to take control. So the city of pioneers made with the hope of freeing themselves from slavery began to turn into an empty city that no one visited.”

It was draped over Kihanna’s face.

What is desperation and shame?

And without being able to erase that expression, I spit out his words one after another.

“We want it. May many come to the pioneer city. So, I want to get rid of the pioneer name and become a city with a prosperous name. Of course, that will free me, my family, and my friends from slavery.”

To remove the label of a pioneer from the pioneer city and become a city with a prosperous name.

Kihanna said that was the way to get rid of the slave ticket he had promised the king.

“But… there are those who stand in the way. The Gahwa Guild came to this place at will, took a seat, and sat down. We don’t have the power right now. That’s why I ask Ashirante-sama, the strong man, for help. Of course, I’m not asking for free. cost. we will pay the price

I am willing.”

“……”

To be honest, I was a little surprised.

Because this quest is not a simple quest.

What NPCs require is a battle between real users.

And leaving it, I even thought that the quest was alive.

‘Is that why you said the quest itself was precious?’

First of all, I didn’t answer for sure.

Instead, I asked something else.

“What do you mean by looking at me that I am strong?”

My current state is ostensibly not even level 200.

It’s not like I’m wearing anything particularly good as an item.

Of course, the Scorpion King and Earrings are definitely good.

Anyway, there’s no clue that I’m strong enough based on my appearance alone.

Moreover, no matter how few those who took advantage of these pioneers’ cities, they must have been there.

famous strong men.

However.

“is that so? Isn’t Ashirante a strong person? Why does Ashirante-sama look like a strong person to me?”

“……”

I couldn’t really answer Kihanna’s question.

Pride? pride? Obviously it wasn’t.

But for some reason, to answer that question that I am not a strong person, I did not feel like I was destroying something myself.

Moreover, I have it in my heart.

I plan to show the Gahwa Guild a bitter taste someday.

“Heh heh.”

For a moment, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“great. like. But not right now. 3 days. We will give you a confirmation in three days.”

If it was a quest like dealing with common monsters or bringing something, he would have accepted it without hesitation.

But the quest itself was quite meaningful.

and 3 days.

3 days was enough.

Reaching level 200.

And the Gahwa Guild needed some time to find out on its own.

Moreover, I had a strong backbone named Myung-jin who would recognize it.

“all right. If you can ask a strong person like Ashirante-sama and get approval, three days is not a long time. Then see you in three days.”

Kihanna bowed her head to greet her with those words and moved her steps.

Like a villager NPC, it looks like it goes back and forth from house to house.

“Check the time.”

[The current time is 23:24.]

it was a bit ambiguous

To go to my sister’s room right away and talk about it.

So, I hurried my steps towards the swamp first.

Because I can’t waste a single moment of time to reach level 200 in 3 days.

And until a little past 1 in the morning, ice fields were laid here and there in the swamp, and he was immersed in hunting.

the next morning.

The whole family sat down and had breakfast.

And after seeing my dad and brother go to work together, I sat down with my sister in the living room.

“By the way, my dad said my sister also had to go to work, so why didn’t she go?”

Of course, I didn’t mean to learn to work in a company.

It was just that I had to watch and learn from the director Seok In-soo, who manages ‘Revival Legend’ in the company.

“Ts. Brother, if you go, would you do more than work? It’s better to catch one more monster at that time and take a break. I have an older brother who told me to do that anyway. You and I should thank you. Otherwise, we would have been busy instead.”

An irresistible sister.

But I ignored it and asked about yesterday’s secretly.“Do you know by any chance that it is the city of the pioneers?”

“City of pioneers? I don’t know.”

‘Revival Legend’ is very wide.

So it wasn’t too strange to say that she didn’t know about the pioneer city.

“Then what about the Gahwa Guild?”

This time I asked something else.

“Is this your first time hearing about that guild? why? What’s going on? Just looking at it, did you see any troubles with the Gahwa Guild in the pioneer city?”

“No, not yet.”

not yet

It will be soon though.

“Then noona, maybe NPCs fight with each other?”

This is what I was most curious about.

“you! Did you get the quest?”

And at my words, my sister straightened up her body drooping on the sofa and asked.

“uh.”

He didn’t want to hide it from his sister, even to solve the mystery, so he answered straight away.

“Hey. Does the youngest of us get recognition for ourselves? Quests that involve users fighting each other don’t come up in a lot of ways.”

It seemed that there was something in her sister’s words.

However, I got the question wrong and accepted it as a battle between users.

Obviously, Kihanna requested a fight with an organization called the Gahwa Guild.

“Sun. must. Is there any restriction that only one-on-one fights can be fought without the help of an assistant? If there are no restrictions, tell me. This sister will come and fix it.”

“No, not yet. But is that possible?”

At the time of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closed betas, the role of the NPC itself did not exist at all.

Beings that just exist and die.

It didn’t have to be that much.

In the case of a blacksmith’s shop, a message popped up as soon as you entered it, and so was the auction house.

“right? Aren’t you curious? It’s like the NPCs come out with quests to fit the situation. At first, I wondered if the subjects were NPCs or not. However.”

“However?”

I immediately scolded my older sister who stopped talking with a funny expression on her face.

“But I don’t know. how do we know I don’t even know where this ‘Revival Legend’ is run.”

“a.”

Sweet sister’s answer.

And after that, the older sister got up from her seat and opened her mouth.

“Anyway, I think I got a quest to fight with someone from the Gahwa Guild. okay. my sister will find out What kind of place is the Gahwa Guild?”

“Huh. thanks.”

Checking her sister moving to her own room on the second floor, I also went up to her second floor and packed her luggage.

Then she went out of her house with a bunch of side dishes her mother had prepared for her.

Of course, seeing me like that, her mother and sister also said a word.

Why are you struggling at home?

But at that, he smiled and left.

Probably because I was more comfortable being alone in order to devote all my time to the game.
