Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 2

Chapter 2: 1st Closed Beta (2)

In fact, it was the 3rd VR adaptor that I accessed for the first ti. I’ve never touched the old-style 2nd one, let alone the popular VR adaptor.

While glancing over the manual provided by the seller, I connected it to the computer.

“Hum. I need to download it directly?”

After connecting it, I switched to the computer and accessed the hopage of ‘Forgotten Legend.’

As soon as I accessed it, I clicked the first closed beta execution bannet, then entered the aningless twelve alpha-nuric number that ca along with the ssage.

When I was done, I clicked the 2nd generation popular VR adaptor at the lower end of the computer screen when asked which VR type I wanted, and started downloading the 2nd one imdiately.

“Wow, this is indeed a piece of junk!”

I could not help but complain because it took more than seven hours to complete downloading it. The 3rd generation VR adaptor that I had would take only ten minutes, and I wouldn’t need to hook it up to the computer like this.

Since the closed beta of the ga ‘Forgotten Legend’ would open at 10:00 AM tomorrow, I didn’t care too much about its long download.

So, I confird the downloading ti with my eyes, then surfed the hopage of ‘Forgotten Legend’ here and there.

What about the studying that I was busy with until a mont ago?

Well, I already forgot about it because I was so thrilled with the new ga that even my heart pounded.

9:50 AM the next day.

“Alarm set at 12:20 PM.”

My lunch ti is always 12:30 PM.

So, I set the alarm ten minutes before it because I should not let anybody catch playing gas.

Then I lay on the bed at 10:00 AM exactly and put on the 2nd VR adaptor on my head.

I vowed one thing, though.

“It’s vacation ti anyway. Only two weeks of the closed beta of Forgotten Legend. For the two weeks, I’ll completely devote myself to playing the ga so that I won’t think about it again during the remainder of the vacation.”

Fortunately, I was in a good situation because it was verified that my private tutoring or going to a private academy didn’t produce good results. Of course, I might have to receive private tutoring if my grades were not good because I had no private tutoring. In that case, I should be ready to fill my free ti with tutoring except for my eating and sleeping ti like I did before.

Anyway I opened my mouth quietly while laying on the bed.

“Execution.”

In no ti I heard the chanical voice in my ears.

At the sa ti, a new screen appeared, which was a white background with no high ceiling that I had seen a mont ago.

“It’s set to default, but nothing’s here. Change the background.”

Since I didn’t like the white background, I chose a different background.

Now there were ten available backgrounds, so I chose an island background.

Although it was blocked by water everywhere, it was lush with green grass and trees inside.

“Hum. This one is better than the others anyway.”

When I made the selection, the white background quickly turned into an island, which I liked.

But I quickly turned my eyes elsewhere because I had already enjoyed the landscape through the 3rd VR adaptor more than enough, whose resolution was much clearer and more varied than this one.

[Forgotten Legend (Execution available)]

It was the only download created as a result of the default setting.

“Execute Forgotten Legend!”

I imdiately shouted “Execution!” because I would not have enough ti to play the ga for the next two weeks, aside from my eating and sleeping ti.

The island background quickly disappeared and a huge battlefield appeared, along with dozens of burning castles and nurous people who looked like ants.

But I imdiately shouted, “Skip!”

I didn’t have to know about the background of Forgotten Legend, nor was I curious about it.

Even one second mattered to .

Then the giant battlefield disappeared and the blue sky and a giant wheat field erged.

A ssage appeared before my eyes.

There was a ssage about the upcoming opening of the second closed beta.

Then the ga started imdiately.

“Basic.”

Anyway this ga will reset to the default after two weeks, so I didn’t change my appearance as created by body recognition.

“...”

I used to use my real na Juyoung Hong when I was engaged in the role-playing gas because the character in the ga was my alter ego that reflected in the real world.

I felt so proud of the character with my na in the ga as it kept growing, but it sotis put fetters on ...

In the ga world where the players enjoyed indefinite freedom called anonymity I sotis could not do it as I pleased because I alone was bound by reality.

That’s why I created the type of ID that could not be separated from , Juyoung Hong in the real world. Just like Dr. Jekyll and Hyde.

But the new ID had an opposite character because I wanted to shine very brightly in the ga, which was the opposite of in the real world.

“lun.”

“Ugh?”

The Latin word lun ant light, sparkle, shine and brightness.

The reason I chose this ID was because I felt I could not be a brilliant man, nor was I sure of it in the real world. So, I wished I could shine in virtual reality.

Then I felt I sunk into the ground, but I didn’t care because I felt the sa thing in various gas. I was rather excited about what kind of world I would find myself in.

***

Tok, tok.

I lifted my feet and strongly trampled on the ground, then folded and released my fingers repeatedly.

“Hummm. I was worried because it was a 2nd generation popular interface adaptor, but it’s not that bad.”

I didn’t feel awkward whenever I trampled on the ground and clasped and unclasped my hand.

Of course even the 3rd generation interface adaptor felt a bit different when compared with a more high-end adaptor.

“Good. Let start surfing.”

When I was downloading yesterday, I roughly confird so of the information on the ‘Forgotten Legend’ hopage. And I decided on so sort of occupation that I could take on in the first closed beta.

Well, there is only one occupation that I always choose in almost all role-playing gas, let alone ‘Forgotten Legend.’

It’s none other than a character that can carry out a distant battle or heavily arm itself with that skill, because I feel that the best attack is the prerequisite to winning the battle.

Besides, such a character can give the opponent a bashing first, if possible.

So, I usually played as elental wizards. Accordingly, their physical build was not strong enough. But I didn’t care because I was not the type of gar that got a kick out of challenging strong monsters or opponents.

“Check status bar.”

I opened the status bar first.
