Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 57

Chapter 57: New Quest

I was not sure if I needed anything else now because I suddenly recalled their earlier conversation today. Players were farming monsters and collecting golden rings, just like a mother bird feeding worms into her babies’ mouths. They got more than ten healers and supporters for just one player. That was not all. They also received the full support from their companies, including the best equipnt tailored to their levels.

Of course, I didn’t envy them because I had too many items to even envy them, nor did I need such support. I wanted to ntion it to my father for so reason, but I didn’t after all.

After swallowing once, I replied to my father’s question, “Not yet.”

“Got it. Just keep up the good work. If there is sothing you need, tell your brother or sister imdiately.”

“Yeah.”

I wasn’t certain, but I knew I had one clear goal. I wanted to appear before my dad, mom, brother, and sister as a formidable player just like a triumphant battle general.

Anyway, I went out of the basent study and headed for my room still on the second floor, which was kept clean all the ti. Then I lay on my bed and wore the 3G VR adapter because it was too early to sleep.

***

“Access!”

[Accessing Revival Legend.]

Shortly afterwards, the Safety Zone of the muddy swamp ca into my view, which was quite empty when I logged out during the day.

Tap, tap.

At that mont, I could feel sobody gently tapping my shoulder. Obviously I logged out in one corner of the Safety Zone here. So, I quickly turned back after discovering that there was soone behind as soon as I logged in because it felt off, no matter how difficult it was to attack another player in the Safety Zone.

“Huh?”

Of course I thought it would be a user. I thought I knew who it was, naly that guy who sotis pretended to know , and sold the shabby boots that cost 70,000 golden rings. But it was not him. This was a totally unexpected situation. However, as if she didn’t care about my embarrassnt, the NPC bowed to and said, “Hello. I’m Kihanna, a resident of the muddy, swampy Pioneers’ City.”

“…Oh I see. Hello.”

It was a so-called NPC. Of course, it was familiar to because the NPC role was essential for the smooth procession of the ga, MMORPGs in particular.

Of course, NPCs existed in Revival Legend in the form of shop owners or the serving staff at the Lazy Afternoon café in Kotum Castle Square that I stopped by several tis. But I never expected that an NPC would co to see first, pretending to know .

“Do you know the origin of Pioneers’ City?”

Kihanna asked about the origin of Pioneers’ City out of the blue.

Of course, I didn’t know because I didn’t have enough ti to hunt and I didn’t co here after confirming it in advance. As if she expected my reaction, she continued, “Then would be kind enough to talk with for a minute?”

When she said that, the word ‘quest’ ca to my mind. Like all other gas, the quest was already released to everyone. Moreover, it was common for other gas to have quests that everyone would clear and proceed with in other gas.

But the Revival Legend ga was different. There was no information about how to proceed, earn and clear the quests. In fact, I found it out by checking with my sister about the regular quest that I participated in the other day. I heard from her that if there was a guest, I should absolutely participate in it, and if there was not, I needed to find one.

“Sure, no problem,” I replied with a nod, for I gained more than I thought from the Level 100 enhancent quest or the Level 400 Scorpion King quest. Besides, I was eager to participate in any quest right away if it was available even now.

“Thank you. By the way, I wonder how I should address you…”

Kihanna asked for my na. At that mont, I almost ntioned my ID lun, but changed it. “Asirante.” It was the na of Ice Emperor, the owner of the Guardian Sword.

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

Although it was brief, it was the description inscribed on the sword.

“Asirante… That’s a really good na, like Him in mythology.”

I was not sure if she was referring to the Ice Emperor, Asirante in mythology.

But I didn’t care much because the na ca to my mind instead of lun.

She gave a brief explanation about the origin of Pioneers’ City.

To sum it up, those who built Pioneers’ City, including Kihanna, were slaves. She said they were ordered to build a pioneers’ place on the condition of them being freed from slavery. So they built Pioneers’ City. She said they also played a role in developing the muddy swamp area.

She said sadly, “But after they landed here, they started to control the city freely. So, Pioneers’ City that we built with the hope of being freed from slavery began to turn into a bleak city that nobody visited.”

Her face looked gloomy. With regrets and despair on her face, she continued, “We want lots of people to co visit Pioneers’ City, so we hope to remove the na ‘Pioneers’ City’ and give it so other great na. If that happens, my family and my friends will be freed from slavery.”

Taking off the original na from Pioneers’ City and turning it into another city with a great na was the only way for her and her people to be freed from slavery, based on the king’s promise to them.

“But there are people blocking our efforts. They are none other than the Kahwa Guild people who took the liberty of stepping into this place and settling down. We don’t have power now. That’s why I am asking you for help because you, Asirante, are strong. Of course, we’re willing to pay you for your help.”

“…”

Honestly, I was a little surprised because this quest was not simple. What she wanted was an actual battle between users. I felt as if the quest was alive now.

‘That’s why they say the quest itself is rare?’

I didn’t give her a firm reply for now. I asked about other things instead.

“Why do you think I am strong?”

I’m currently only Level 200 officially. Besides, I don’t wear good items. Of course, the Scorpion King’s ring and earrings are definitely good, but she couldn’t possibly have a clue that I’m strong, based on my appearance. Of course, there must be so among those who have used this city, even though there are only a few. I an, there must be so fad strong n.

“Oh, aren’t you strong, Asirante? Well, you look strong in my eyes.”

“…”

I could not answer her question. Was it because of my pride or self-esteem? No, that was not the reason.

But I felt like I was ruining myself if I denied her statent. Besides, I wanted to get even with the Kahwa Guild guys soday for humiliating .

“Huhhhhhhh.”

At that mont, I burst into a smile before I knew it.

“Good. But not right now. Give three days. Let answer your question in three days.”

If she had asked to get rid of common monsters or if it had been a quest asking to bring her sothing, I would have easily accepted it.

But this ti the quest itself was quite aningful. Three days was enough for to achieve Level 200. And I needed ti to find out a little about the Kahwa Guild. Moreover, I had strong support like Myongjin Group that could check it out.

“Okay. As long as I can ask a strong person like Asirante for help, three days is not long. I’ll see you in three days.”

After saying that, she bowed and left like a local NPC who wandered from one house to another.
