Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 405: 10% (3) 

[A reward in return for the deletion of the level 1100 privilege ‘Coin Exchange.’

-Anyone who currently possesses the level 1200 privilege ‘Reality Actualization Rate’ will have their reality actualization rate instantly increase by 10%.

-If you have not achieved level 1200 and do not have the level 1200 privilege ‘Reality Actualization Rate’, you will start with a 10% Reality Actualization Rate by default when you reach level 1200.]

Another message rang immediately right after that.

[Your reality actualization rate has increased by 10%.

-Lumen, Ashirante’s reality actualization rate is 135%.]

“…”

The messages rang one after another without any notice. .

So I had no choice but to think that the last message was hastily composed.

In the meantime, I had mixed feelings while checking the messages until now.

In the end, if I hadn’t exchanged the coins yesterday, I would have kicked myself with great regrets. And if I had not increased my reality actualization rate right away with the coins I had, I would also have blamed myself a lot for my misjudgement.

Increasing the reality actualization rate by 10% from 107% and from 125% were completely different. So I let out a sigh of relief that I managed to hit 125% first, but I still could not help but tilt my head

“Hmm. If it’s true that all users’ reality actualization rate has increased by 10%, it means their current power has increased tremendously, but…”

It was not just one or two users, but all users.

To be honest, there were few users who could increase their reality actualization even by 10% by exchanging coins unless they were affiliated with giant guilds or ace players.

Moreover, when they reached level 1200 in the future, they would have a 10% reality actualization rate by default. In other words, nobody could complain that they didn’t increase their reality actualization rate or increased it only a little bit because they didn’t have enough coins even after reaching level 1200.

In that respect, it seemed more valuable to delete the coin exchange and obtain a 10% reality actualization rate.

“Well, I don’t like it.”

Originally, coin exchange was the only way for someone to turn the tables after being backed into a corner. After all, all they needed was golden rings. According to the message, however, this route was blocked.

So, even though I enjoyed the benefits of obtaining basically 150,000 coins by increasing 10% to 135% reality actualization rate, I didn’t like this new rule change that much.

Anyway I moved straight to the level 1800 hunting ground because I could clear the quest I had received from Argentina’s Sayens Guild after finishing my monster imprint as soon as possible.

In the level 1800 hunting ground Land of Ancient Spirits.

Blink. Puck!

Blink. Puck!

Blink. Puck!

The target whose trait I am currently accumulating for the monster imprint is the blue ancient spirit. The main reason I targeted them was because imprinting the monster trait granted me the option of a 5% damage increase for all ice-type skills, not to mention an increase in intellect by 4000, and willpower by 2000.

Because of that, I avoided the red, brown, and gray ancient spirits, and concentrated on only the blue ancient spirits every day. Of course, the maximum traits I could [possess were three, but I already had the traits of the Titan, the Dark Elf dyed in darkness, and the Minions of the Dead that I had imprinted in the level 1700 hunting ground.

So I had to delete one of them. And I already decided which one to delete, namely, the Minions of the Dead because I keenly realized how good the Titan trait was this time when I was fighting against the black liquid man, which increased my stamina by 3000 and my strength by 3000, as well as decreased all incoming damage by 10%. and decrease all damage by 10% while fighting the black liquid man recently.

It was worth saving the trait of the Dark Elf dyed in Darkness, as it granted me a significant agility increase.

But the trait of the Minion of the Dead only increased my stamina by 5000.

Of course, considering that it was not restricted by my trait Mutual Growth, 5000 stamin was far from small, but it was definitely a less appealing option than the other two. And the Minion of the Dead trait did not have any other options.

Because of this, I had no other choice but to delete the Minion of the Dead imprint first.

Anyway, I kept hunting after opening up one space for another trait by deleting it.

I hunted the next day and the day after.

Ten days passed.

“Whew!”

I could herd not only the Titans, but also the Dark Elves dyed in Darkness and the Minions of the Dead for herd hunting because there were only types of monsters in that hunting ground, after all.

However, this time there were as many as four kinds of ancient spirits in the level 1800 hunting ground, so it took me almost twice as long as before because I had to target only one of them.

But the way of the world was if you started something, you had to finish it at the end of the day. In other words, I ran towards the blue ancient spirit again using Blink with zero cooldown and wielded the +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword at it.

The moment that monster collapsed at my single attack, a message rang.

[You have achieved a 100% accumulation rate for the ancient spirits.

– Acquire the Ancient Spirit trait.

-You can store up to 3 traits.

– A 30-day cooldown is required to replace the already imprinted trait with another trait.

-Your current traits (3/3)

: Titan, Dark Elf dyed in Darkness, Ancient Spirit.

-Your activated trait.

: Titan.]

‘Great!”

Of course, I had no big difficulties in accumulating Titan’s trait 100% because I killed them with one single attack.

That’s why I had to be more careful in this hunting ground because there were not only blue ancient spirits, but also red, brown, and gray ancient spirits. If I accidentally attacked another ancient spirit and killed it, all the accumulation rate I had achieved until now would be useless. Then I would have to start all over again.

Anyway I was about to replace my monster imprint with the blue ancient spirit that was definitely helpful to me, but I agonized over it a bit.

“Hmm…”

Of course, the Ancient Spirit trait was much better for me in many ways because I was an ice-type wizard, and all the options given by the blue ancient spirit directly affected my strengths.

[Blue ancient spirit.

: Increase in intellect by 4000

: Increase in willpower by 2000.

: Increase in all Ice-type skill damage by 5%.]

In particular, as was the case with the increase in stamina due to my Titan trait, the increase in stat points through my monster imprint was not affected by the limits of Mutual Growth. However, when I was fighting against the powerful black liquid man, I liked the Titan trait much better than this one.

But the problem was that the cooldown to switch between traits was a whopping 30 days.

“Hmm. It would be perfect without this long cooldown…”

It couldn’t be better if I could change my trait to the most optimal one in terms of options based on the situation.

So, while I was agonizing over it, a message rang.

It was not a message announced to everybody, but only to me.
