Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 166: Difference in Order (2)

Of course, it was not a level-up message

Even though I had a myth-grade ‘additional EXP gem’ and I was only level 5, I only killed one orc.

[Your ID has changed from Lumen, Asirante to Asirante, Lumen.]

“?”

I didn’t understand what it meant because it only changed the order of the two IDs. But the message didn’t end there.

[The ability of the Ice Emperor ‘Asirante’ has been reflected in the status window.]

I still could not figure out what was going on.

However, there was something about the Ice Emperor in the description of the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

[It is a sword containing the final determination of the ice master and emperor Asirante, who fought against the Sun God Morutu who burned and evaporated everything in the world.]

In other words, judging by the item’s description, the Ice Emperor was extremely powerful because he fought against a Sun God.

So, I opened my mouth quietly.

“Check status window.”

[Name: Asirante, Lumen

Level: 5

Number of kills: 0, Number of deaths: 0

Title: Ice Emperor. (It is impossible to acquire titles other than Ice Emperor)

[Event ‘Catch Up with Yourself’ is in progress.

-Time remaining until the end of the event.

: 29 days 17 hours 29 minutes.

-Your current catch-up rate.

: 185.3%

-Current ranking.

: First place.]

“…”

At that moment I just felt dizzy. Moreover, my level 600 status window was still vivid in my memory. So, it wasn’t difficult for me to compare the status window now and before.

My previous strength and agility were just over 2500.My Intellect reached 18,000,my stamina was 15,000 and my willpower was less than 10,000.

In other words, except for intellect, health, and mana, my current status window was more colorful than my previous one at level 600, even though I was level 5 with only one title.

“What’s wrong?” I could not understand.

I did nothing except killing only one orc.

But this was a very trivial thing because there were already numerous users killing orcs everywhere.

“Check title Ice Emperor.”

So, I checked my title first.

[Title: Ice Emperor.

-This is a title only the Ice Emperor can obtain.

: All stats increase by 10000.

: When you acquire ice-type skills, every stat increases by 1000.]

I had as many as seven titles previously.

And all of the titles granted an increase in health and mana.

But this title didn’t grant one. Besides, its description was pretty simple.

But its options were more glamorous than any other title.

“That’s why my strength, agility, stamina, willpower and intellect are all over 15,000?”

Currently, I possess a total of 5 ice-type skills, including Minor Frostbite, Ice Ball, Ice Bolt, Ice Shield, and Ice Weapon.

“Check trait Primal Ice.”

This time, I checked the trait.

[Trait: Primal ice.

-Primal Ice, the essence and origin of all ice, dwells in your body.

: Increases the performance of all ice-type skills by 100%.

: Immune to all ice-type attacks.

: When dealing with enemies (including monsters) with ice-type skills, there is a small chance of gaining extra stat points.]

As expected, this Primal Ice trait was also simple.

But the first option caught my eyes because my previous Iceman trait only buffed my ice-type skills by 30%. Nevertheless, it empowered me immensely.

Of course, I was helped by other items and my high intellect stat.

But this time it was 100%!

Moreover, other options such as immunity to all ice-type attacks were awesome.

So, I had no choice but to be doubtful.

“Isn’t this a scam?”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was a scam.

Right at that moment, the orc respawned, so I used Ice Ball against it.

Puck!

I aimed at the orc’s head, but not only its head but also its whole body was blown apart.

There even rang a message.

[The effect of Primal Ice occurs.

-You have obtained one remaining stat point.]

“…”

According to the description, it was only a small chance.

Of course, it is impossible to judge using only this one incident, but I couldn’t help but be surprised because this kind of option was much better than all of my traits combined.

In addition, I liked the title of “Ice Emperor” that increased all stat points by 1000 each time I acquired an ice-type skill.

***

Outside Kotum Castle.

I was done hunting and testing after killing one orc because if I hunted more, I would look like a high level user arrogantly hunting in this place crowded with beginners participating in the “Catch Up With Yourself’ event.

Furthermore, there was something I wanted to double check before leveling up.

Namely, I wanted to see if I could get the title of “Scarecrow Destroyer” that I could obtain at the training center available for only those users who were below level 10.

Of course, I saw the description next to the “Ice Emperor” title that said it’s impossible to acquire any other title, but I had to check it with my own eyes.

Why? Because it would only take a few minutes for me to check it.

After making my decision, I moved to Kotum Castle and entered the teleport zone.

“Move to Adelio Castle.”

There were still too many users around Kotum Castle for me to check it here.

So, I chose to move to Adelio Castle where only high-level hunting grounds existed. action

[Move to Adelio Castle.]

There were quite a few users talking about this event in Adelio Castle.

However, there were far less users here than there were at Kotum Castle.

In no time I exited the teleport zone and arrived at the training center of Adelio Castle.

And inside the training center, which was quiet compared to the one in Kotum Castle, I wore a mask and cheap robes and moved to one corner.

After that, I swung the club at the scarecrow.

Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang!

10 consecutive hits, 20 consecutive hits, and 30 consecutive hits.

The effect of the 15,000 strength, agility and stamina that I possessed was enormous.

Compared to last time when I could only strike the red dots appearing on the scarecrow six consecutive times, it was pretty easy for me to rack up consecutive hits now.

I could even hit the scarecrow more than 40 hits in a row.

Now, I succeeded in getting 50 consecutive hits.

At that moment, the scarecrow was smashed to pieces.

Since I had experienced it before, I wasn’t surprised by the scarecrow breaking to pieces. Instead, I focused my eyes on the message window.

At last, the message I was looking forward to earnestly rang.

[You have succeeded in hitting the scarecrow 50 times in a row.

-You have made an impossible achievement.

-You have obtained 200 remaining stat points.

-Title: You have acquired the title Scarecrow Destroyer]

“Wow!”

I raised my hands and cheered before I knew it.

And I felt so proud of myself.

Just like the saying, ‘Look before you leap,’ I could earn this reward because I double checked everything instead of taking the written description as face value.

But the message didn’t end there.

[Currently, you hold the title of ‘Ice Emperor’.

-You can’t acquire a new title.]

“…”

This time I had to gently put down my raised hands.

Putting my hands down, I opened my mouth straight away.

“Check status window.”

Aside from the title, I clearly noticed there were certainly 200 remaining stat points.

[Name: Asirante, lumen

Level: 5

:

Remaining Stat Points: 201

Remaining Skill Points: 0]

Fortunately, the remaining 200 stat points were located in the status window as if it were a separate reward.

Anyway, when I confirmed it, I began to look around.

“???”

“???”

“???”

Just before entering the training center of Adelio Castle, I heard the sound of many users hitting scarecrows constantly. But they were quiet now.

They were not only quiet, but they also all had their eyes on me just like when I first accessed ‘Revival Legend’ and destroyed the scarecrow for the first time at Kotum Castle.
