Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 223 - Last Limited Quest (6)

Chapter 223: Last Limited Quest (6)

A few hours later I was gasping for breath after a long fight.

“Gasp! Gasp!”

In the past, I had never felt tired even if I hunted for several hours or almost ten hours.

This ti, however, I had to breathe heavily because I had never hunted so desperately except for the 3rd Closed Beta, which had a limited period of only two weeks.

So, I was only occupied with thinking that I had to go back because I was completely exhausted by now.

In other words, I realized how stupid and complacent it was for to assu that it would take 12 hours on the way up and 12 hours on the way down. Of course, I was conscious of it, but I found myself constantly moving on despite that.

“Whew! Yeah, I can easily return within 12 hours.”

I kept reassuring myself with such complacency.

A little later I checked my status.

“Whew! Whew! Check status!”

Gasping for breath, I checked my status.

[Lun, Asirante’s current status.

-Current achievent rate: 79.05%

-Remaining ti: 11: 59: 54]

I had finally crossed the Maginot line of 12 o’clock I had set. So, I had to turn around and return now.

If I spent a little more ti here, it would be impossible for to return to the starting point within the remaining ti.

Nonetheless, I didn’t stop moving forward, nor did I change direction and turn. It was because of the 79.05% achievent rate.

“Yeah, let achieve 80% since I am so close. What the heck is this 79.05%! Since I got rid of all the monsters on the way up, all I have to do on the way down is just avoid the traps.”

Obviously, I sumd up the situation in an advantageous way, and I really thought I could achieve 80%.

[You have killed Golem Monster 1.

-You have obtained 500,000 EXP.

-They’re stored temporarily…]

[You have obtained 15 coins from opening a random box.

-They’re stored temporarily…]

There were still plenty of things for to covet.

A little later I checked the status again.

“Check status.”

[Lun, Asirante’s current status.

-Current achievent rate: 80.00%

-Remaining ti: 11: 48: 54]

Finally, I achieved 80% as I intended.

But I could not turn back because of my greed.

“I’ve co so far. Yeah, I should achieve 100%. My original goal was 100% anyway.”

At that mont, I was more concerned about achieving 100% than returning.

So, I kept moving forward without checking the achievent rate anymore.

I didn’t know how long I ran, but at so point, a ssage suddenly rang.

[Congratulations! You have achieved 100% achievent.

-If you return to the starting point during the remaining ti, your achievent rate will be confird.]

“…”

I was now at the end of the desert, where there was an endless adow.

I clenched my fists, and swung towards my head.

Thud!

It didn’t hurt a lot, but it was painful enough for to co to my senses.

“Stupid!”

I blad myself.

“Check status.”

[Lun, Asirante’s current status.

-Current achievent rate: 100.00%

-Remaining ti: 09: 48: 54]

I had less than 10 hours left. No matter how much I racked my brains, it was impossible for to go back to the starting point within the remaining ti unless I had access to Blink with zero cooldown.

Just blaming myself was not the solution, so I turned imdiately and started running through the sand.

I also went over the grassland area bordering with the sand with so hopes that it could speed up my journey, but there was nothing like a ssage or change in my status.

“Damn it! You idiot!”

Of course, I knew I deceived myself because the greed debuff dominated , but I had no choice but to vent anger at myself, for I ended up repeating the sa mistake as others when I thought I would be different from them.

“Damn it! Ice Field!”

Nonetheless, I kept trying my best, using Ice Field and Thin Ice on cooldown, for I could not sit idle even if the chance of failing was basically 100%.

A few hours later I checked the status.

[Lun, Asirante’s status.

-Current achievent rate: 100.00%

-Ti remaining: 03: 21: 33]

As soon as I checked it, I ran and ran desperately, and I was a bit surprised by how fast I was.

I thought I ran as fast as I could to achieve 100% in the morning, but it seed that I could still run faster.

“Damn it! I’m only halfway there now!”

There was too little ti left for to return to the starting point.

I often shouted eagerly for Blink because I was so anxious, but nothing happened.

Anyway, although I knew what would happen, I kept running toward the starting point,

regretting my reassurances to my dad, brother, and sister, who had already suffered a setback, that I would be different from them.

[60 minutes left.]

[50 minutes left.]

[40 minutes left.]

As the remaining ti fell below an hour, the ssage kindly inford of the remaining ti as if to scorn my excessive greed.

When the remaining ti fell down to ten minutes, the ssage rang every one minute.

Perhaps it was wiser for to give up and stop running.

Nonetheless, I did not stop.

When the ssage rang announcing that there was only one minute left, I finally stopped running and collapsed on the sand.

. I could not see the starting point, and there was no way for to get to the starting point in 60 seconds. Of course, I knew this was the case from early on.

Nevertheless, I kept moving, hoping against hope I could make it.

But I was left with no such hope now.

“Oh my God…”

I smiled bitterly because my last limited quest was over with achieving nothing.

So, I lay on my back on the sand helplessly.

“Good. I can accept one failure.”

But I still felt very bitter.

But I let bygones be bygones, so I kept repeating myself that it was not a big deal while closing my eyes.

While Juyoung Hong, or Asirante, lay on his back on the sand, sothing revealed itself from his sole. It was the root. It dug into the soft sand.

Since the sand was so light and soft, the root kept moving endlessly.

As it gradually gained distance from him, the thick root beca thinner and thinner until it was almost as thin as a thread. It looked like it would be cut off if sothing went wrong.

Nevertheless, the root kept moving. But at so point, it had to stop because it could not get any thinner..

At that mont, there was the sound of sothing breaking.

Then the root moved again at great speed. Of course, there were so changes.

In fact, the root began to dry out and shatter, starting off with the part closest to Juyoung’s body.

Like the flas chasing the motorcycle or a car in the movie, it moved forward ferociously.

The root gradually shrank and broke down, but it still continued to move forward.

“Gasp! Gasp!”

I laid my back on the sand and took a rough breath because I had only a few seconds left.

But then, an unexpected ssage rang even though I didn’t move at all with my back on the sand.

[You have arrived at the starting point.

You have cleared the level 900 limited quest with 100% achievent rate.]
