Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Region 0 (1)

Pablo, who I met for the first time, was really unwelcome because his sudden appearance stopped me from hunting. I was in a hurry to achieve level 1200.

I was also bearing a lot of frustration from not being able to raise my actualization rate to more than 7% even though I had 90,000 coins.

So, I came to this Saber Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat to delve into hunting again, but this guy Pablo, who appeared without notice, was clearly an unwelcome guest. Besides, this guy even made me an offer to join his organization.

I was willing to accept it, at first because it was not really difficult for me to join it, and I was a bit curious about the guild called Lucia which had this extraordinary guy called Pablo as a member. However, when I checked out his offer, I realized that it was not difficult but impossible for me to accept it.

So, what did I do?

“Ice Prison!”

Bang!

Of course, I could not feel Pablo's presence for sure when I first arrived here, but I now clearly felt that he was in front of me.

Honestly, when I killed nine sabre tooth tigers here and shouted to my right for somebody to show himself, I did so half in jest and half in earnest.

So, when somebody really appeared from my left, not my right, I was very surprised although I didn't show it. I simply shouted on the off-chance for I felt uncomfortable that somebody might really be near me

Anyway, I clearly sensed Pablo's presence now unlike a little while ago. So, I used several AOE skills such as Ice Prison and Ice Field without any hesitation.

However, Pablo's presence whichI could clearly sense a moment ago suddenly became blurry again while I was spamming my attacks.

Obviously, he must have used some trick.

At the moment, I felt bitter because I felt like I failed for some reason this time.

As expected, Pablo appeared once again in the spot where I spammed all kinds of attacks.

Unlike before, this time his collar was crumpled and slightly messed up when he emerged.

However, no matter how much damage he suffered, I couldn't kill him in the end, so I had to conclude that my attack failed.

“Phew! You're really tough. If I responded even a second later, I would have almost died. And I almost got stuck in Region 53 forever until the wall disappeared.”

I realized at the 4th Anniversary event that Region 53 Pablo mentioned was none other than Korea.

“You…you don't belong to Region 53.”

If Pablo hadn't been in front of me, I would have tapped my head with my fist because of my stupidity. It was impossible to find a secret organization called “Lucia” beyond Mirae, Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu in this narrow land of Korea, not to mention a guild with the t.i.tle of “Great Guild,” which none of the other guilds have.

In other words, I should have noticed it even before Pablo mentioned Region 53.

“Why is that important? What's important is that you, Asirante, have declined my offer. So, let me punish you in that respect,” said Pablo.

“Punish me? You mean punishment that I dislike?”

Of course, I had to admit that I didn't kill Pablo, and twice at that.

But that doesn't mean I was defeated.

However, Pablo seemed to be very confident, replying haughtily, “Right, it's a punishment. First of all, this punishment is valid for only 30 days. Actually, I want to brag some more, but I only have access to a 30-day punishment. So, I hope you can endure it there for 30 days. And even if you change your mind halfway through, just try to sit tight. It's impossible to break through the wall halfway.”

The ‘wall' that Pablo mentioned sometimes.

I could easily figure out what it meant. It referred to the channel that blocked each country or region.

At this point, I could know what kind of ability Pablo had.

Besides, it seemed he had no intention of hiding it.

Pablo possessed the ability to cross regions through the channel or wall.

The problem was that he could hide inside the wall. That was why he could avoid my attack.

So, I had no choice but to rely on my hidden card.

“Blink…”

I chose to retreat from this area first because I could attack him another day, and I didn't have any information about him while he had investigated me very well.

Moreover, I didn't want to be unreasonably stubborn in this situation.

At that moment, a message rang.

[Because of Pablo's trait, ‘Penetrating Wall,' you are forcibly moved from Region 53 to Region 0 that Pablo has broken through.

-Lumen, Asirante is a member of Region 53, so you will be staying in Region 0 for only 30 days.

-After 30 days, you will be forcibly moved back to Region 53]

“d.a.m.n it.”

Obviously, I didn't react too late.

As soon as I noticed something strange, I immediately left the place without trying to hide Blink with zero cooldown, but the range of Pablo's trait, ‘Penetrating Wall,' was too large.

Shuuuuuuuung!

When I spat out swear words, I felt something strongly pulling my body.

And, of course, I knew I must be getting sucked into Region 0.

While Juyong Hong, or Asirante, was being sucked into Region 0.

Pablo plopped down on the ground and said, “Whew! Is this guy really level 500?”

As soon as Asirante disappeared, Pablo, who had maintained a consistently confident expression, squatted down on the ground and let out a sigh as if he had been nervous contrary to his confident looks.

In fact, Pablo had a terrible experience.

The s.p.a.ce that he made with his trait ‘Penetrating Wall,' which he thought was invincible, crumbled in various places, let alone showing some crack. Actually it was on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

If that s.p.a.ce had collapsed, he would have been killed by Asirante, which meant that he would not have been able to use his trait, ‘Penetrating Wall' for some time. Or he might not have been able to use it for the rest of his life.

“d.a.m.n it! I accepted this request so cheaply! If I had known this guy was so strong, I should have asked for more!”

That's why Pablo poured out complaints. He regretted his rashness.

Although he was advised many times before he came here that he should not underestimate Asirante, he simply ignored it because he was confident in the absolute protective s.p.a.ce he could make with his trait, ‘Penetrating Wall.'

This time, he felt painfully that his absolute protection s.p.a.ce was not absolute.

” I have to make Asirante a member of my organization by all means, so he can't be my enemy. By the way, Asirante, get ready to have a hard time there for 30 days.The fact that you have not reached level 1200 means you are just an ordinary man who can't do anything in Region 0.”

Pablo has crossed several regions using his trait, ‘Penetrating Wall.'

Of course, he was unable to choose which region to cross because it was chosen only by luck.

So, he once entered a place called Region 0.

At first Pablo thought that Region 0 was just one of the numerous other regions.

However, he soon noticed that the region was special immediately because he lost all his abilities there and his actualization rate was only 0% at the time.

As a matter of fact, Pablo had not achieved level 1200 at that time, so he did not have the level 1200 Privilege-Reality Actualization.

Anyway, Pablo, who lost all his ability in Region 0, died and died for 30 days.

In other words, there was nothing that the incompetent could do there.

“Whew! What a relief! If Asirante had already reached level 1200…”

Pablo trembled at that thought because if it was true that Asirante received 22,000 coins by winning the 4th Anniversary event when he was only level 500, he must have a lot more coins stashed away.
