Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 387 - First Dibs (1)

Chapter 387: First Dibs (1)

“Man, I hunted too long.’

I quickly exited the Land of Titan as soon as I checked the ti.

Then I moved to the teleport zone and opened my mouth softly.

“Move to Kotum Castle.”

[You are moving to Kotum Castle.]

Kotum Castle was once crowded with users. But it was almost abandoned after the access restriction penalty was activated for those at level 100, followed by those at level 200, because this place was intended for only beginners.

As a result, not only new users, but also those beginners have all disappeared from this area.

So I set foot inside Kotum Castle, which was empty, and stopped at so point while I was walking.

It was by the forge where I stopped. I was standing before it blankly because I still had three minutes left until the cooldown of my trait God of Enhancent was over.

“Hmm…”

While standing there, I reminisced about the ti when I played the closed beta called ‘Forgotten Legend’ before this Revival Legend. As a matter of fact, I didn’t stay in Kotum Castle for long when I started playing Revival Legend because I received a huge reward as soon as I started playing. Besides, I didn’t have to hunt weak monsters here when I could hunt strong ones. In particular, there were already users here who started playing the ga several years ahead of , and I could not afford to be distracted by sothing else in order to catch up with them.

In other words, the reason why I returned to Kotum Castle every now and then was greatly influenced by my old mories of the closed beta ‘Forgotten Legend’.

“Yeah, I had a lot of fun back then…”

Back then the ga was my only exit from the world.

Moreover, the goal of reaching level 100, level 200, and level 300 in two weeks imrsed even more in the ga.

In the end, by achieving the goal, I realized through the ga that I could do anything if I was determined.

Of course, it didn’t an hunting was no fun now. To be honest, in so ways it was more fun hunting now than before.

Back then, as my sister once said, I was like a shabby cat that had to hide in a corner, not knowing how to raise its claws despite the fact that I could live like a lion, the king of the jungle, not a cat, at least in Korea, given my hunting environnt.

“Hehehe!”

I kept recalling my good old days with a smile.

But I imdiately stopped smiling, and moved into the forge in Kotum Castle.

It was still too early for to keep reminiscing about the past with a smile.

[Welco! This is the blacksmith of Kotum Castle.]

I briefly responded to the NPC’s words, then put the 7 Enhancent Ice Emperor’s guardian sword into the enhancent window that appeared before and opened my mouth gently.

“Activate God of Enhancent!”

[You have activated God of Enhancent.

-100% chance of success in enhancent.

-Enhancent target: 7 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

-Additional requirents: 1,950,000,000 golden rings, 9.755 billion EXP points.

-Cooldown upon successful enhancent: 361 days]

“The cooldown is almost one year…”

My goal of enhancing Ice Emperor’s guardian sword was 9 enhancent.

In the inventory, there were a total of 5 ancient cooldown removal charms and one 100% enhancent ticket that I obtained from the level 100 only limited enhancent quest. In other words, if I make the guardian sword a 9 Enhancent sword, I could upgrade it imdiately to 15 Enhancent, the final enhancent stage.

So I stopped thinking and began to enhance it right away because I had to enhance it by all ans.

At that mont, a ssage rang with a splendid sound effect.

[You have succeeded in enhancing 7 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword. The 7 Enhancent sword has been upgraded to 8 Enhancent sword.]

I have finally reached the 8 enhancent Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

Then I got a little greedy because if I used up all the spell tickets, I could have the 14 Enhancent sword right now. This sword would turn into a terrific item for .

However, I would regret it forever for reaching only up to 14, not 15, the final stage of enhancent. And I would have no idea how long the cooldown would be to upgrade it to 15 from there, given that 8 enhancent required 361 days of cooldown.

Of course, I could obtain another ancient cooldown removal charm, but there was no guarantee that I could obtain it anyti soon, so I didn’t want to jump to 14 enhancent right away.

“Great. I’ve held it in well until now. And I’m not so weak as to rely on a weapon anyway.”

If I felt I had a hard ti fighting or hunting, I would definitely try to enhance the guardian sword, but that was not the case. And I was convinced that I would not face a situation where I would struggle even in the future.

So, I picked up the 8 Enhancent Ice Emperor’s guardian sword and ca out of the smithy, leaving behind the NPC who said, [Goodbye.]

“Check item.”

Even though I ca out of the forge proudly, I needed to know how the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword had changed from 7 to 8 enhancent, so I imdiately checked the item.

[ 8 Enhancent Ice Emperor’s guardian sword (Myth)

– Safety enhancent: 0

-Physical attack power: increases by 29500->(35700)

-Magical attack power: increases by 15750->(19500)

-Durability: Infinite/Infinite]

All the options of the sword were increased as a whole.

But the overall increase was not as good as it was when I upgraded it from 6 enhancent to 7 enhancent. Obviously, at that ti, my physical attack power increased by 10,000 or more and magic attack power also increased by 7,000 or more at once. Despite upgrading from 7 to 8 enhancent this ti, there was not such a great overall increase.

“Hmm. It increased dramatically at 3 Enhancent, and also at 7 Enhancent…Was it because of that?”

Between certain grades, the option values increased dramatically. But I would have noticed it if there were such a pattern for general, rare, precious, or legendary items. But there were no such patterns. Upgrading an item for those grades only showed an upward curve. Then, was the margin of increase so small because of that?

That was not true in this case.

Compared to other legendary grade items that increased by several hundreds or up to 2000 in total, this was obviously a terrific increase. Especially my intellect alone increased by 1000 at a ti.

“Alright. It would be better for if there were certain grades where the options increased dramatically like that because my goal is 15 enhancent. If it again goes through one of those grades in the future, the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword will literally beco a monster.”
