Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Region 0 (2)

Anyway, expecting to see Asirante 30 days later, Pablo was about to hide himself in the Saber Steel Tooth Tiger Habitat when he opened his mouth as if he had thought of something.

“Gos.h.!.+ I didn't tell him that he needed to stay connected at least 12 hours a day to pa.s.s. Well, if he keeps dying, he will find out about it anyway.”

After saying that, Pablo disappeared.

He was confident that he could force Asirante to join his organization given that all those who refused to join ended up being a member of the ‘Lucia' guild using this way.

“Well…”

I could see nothing but a vast field in front of me.

Monster? NPC? User? No matter how hard I tried to find them, I could not.

“Oh my G.o.d! I've never experienced such a strange thing like this.”

As a matter of fact, I never expected this kind of situation.

But I immediately came to my senses, and pulled myself together.

Anyway, this is another country's ‘Revival Legend' server, and I can expect decent treatment given my ability wherever I go.

Of course, as soon as I pulled myself together, I immediately tried to communicate with my sister.

[Super Beauty: Sister!]

I sometimes communicated with my sister through the messaging system, so I sent her a message.

But she didn't respond. More precisely, she didn't receive my message.

At that moment, a message rang to tell me why I could not communicate with her.

[You cannot send messages to people in other regions.]

“Hmm…”

Of course, I expected I might not be able to contact her because I was in Region 0 while my sister was in Region 53.

‘By the way, I think I can log out without any problem.'

Pablo said I had to stay here for exactly 30 days.

Of course, if I could not log out for 30 days, I would have no choice but to die from malnutrition in reality, so that would not be a condition. Anyway, it was very important for me to log out, so I was going to try to log out when a message rang.

[You have stepped in Region 0.

-Region 0 is a private test area for those with level 1200 Privilege: Reality Actualization.

-Lumen, Asirante is eligible to use this area because you have level 1200 Privilege: Reality Actualization.

You will proceed with the test in Region 0.

-Special rewards are given if you achieve high scores with excellent adaptability during the 30-day test period.]

“?”

I could not help but be embarra.s.sed by that message because it meant that this was not the same as Region 53 where I was active.

But I smiled at the words ‘special reward' in the announcement.

Of course, I have only two types of skills, Ice Ball and Ice Bolt, and my reality actualization rate was only 7%.

But depending on who is using the 7%, it will show a big difference in effect.

“But let me log out first!”

Since logging out was the most important to me at the moment, I immediately shouted ‘log out!', and I exited ‘Revival Legend' normally.

Immediately after that, I picked up my cell phone to call my sister.

At that moment, however, I thought twice about it.

“Hmm… I'm afraid it's not safe to talk to her over the phone.”

I have already decided that I would be prudent about calling my family members even when using my private cell phone.

Instead, I decided to use ‘Revival Legend'.

At first glance, my method might look ridiculous, but the safest conversations could be carried out within ‘Revival Legend'.

Anyway, I may be overly paranoid, but I thought it wasn't bad to be cautious, so I put my phone down and accessed ‘Revival Legend' again.

While Juyoung Hong was accessing ‘Revival Legend”, some people gathered on Ivulich Island, an island in the Russian Arctic OCean.

The man sitting at the head of the conference table said to a man on the opposite side of the table, “Did you just say you sent Asirante to Region 0?”

“Yes,” replied Pablo, who sent Asirante directly to Region 0.

“It's a pity that he refused our first offer, but if he has no choice but to die without doing anything for 30 days anyway, he will eventually change his mind,” the man in the head seat spoke with a satisfied smile.

However, there were some who slightly frowned at his remarks because they suffered the same thing in the past.

If they had reached level 1200, they would have tried to rebel, but they hadn't at that time. It was difficult for them to hunt even one orc with bare hands when they were there.

Anyway, since they had never failed in their strategy of sending their targets to Region 0 for a 30-day exile, all the executive members of the ‘Lucia' guild believed that Airante would eventually join their organization.

“By the way, you are now tapping all the landlines and cellphones in Korea as well as hacking into the internet, right?”

The Lucia Guild wanted complete control over Asirante, so they needed to secure Asirante in their custody. Sending him to Region 0 was part of such a strategy.

In short, Region 0 was the place where anybody without any ability would be helpless.

As such, no matter how strong nerves they had, they had no choice but to tremble with fear in that place, so the Lucia Guild executives concluded that those who had been there might confide their experiences to somebody else using the landlines or their cellphones

“Yes, we are tapping their phones and have hacked into Korea's internet without any issues. Although we paid a lot of money for that, we have made sure that we are notified immediately if the word “Region 0” or something related to Pablo's “Penetrating Wall” comes up on all Korean landlines or cell phones or the Internet.”

“Good. It doesn't matter how much it costs. If we can secure Asirante, we can be the owner of this planet.”

“Got it!”

“Okay!”

The Lucia Guild executives wrapped up the meeting like that.

Tramp, tramp.

First of all, I randomly set off in one direction and walked aimlessly in the field where I first stepped in, in which there were no monsters, users, or NPCs.

Just in case, I kept up my guard while walking, but nothing showed up.

“What the heck is this? Isn't it time for monsters or anything like that to come out?”

Since there wasn't a single monster in my sight, I naturally complained about it.

While thinking I might have chosen the wrong direction, I kept walking without stopping.

The moment I set my right foot on the ground, a message rang.

[You have left the starting zone which is the Safety Zone of Region 0.

-The starting zone is set initially, and only lasts for 12 hours before completely disappearing.

-Congratulations! By voluntarily leaving the starting zone, you get 200,000 points.

-There are several monsters outside the starting zone, and all monsters will take very hostile action against the test host.

-In case of death, you will be resurrected one hour later, but your score will be reduced. Please be careful about your survival.]

“Wow!”

I didn't know how big 200,000 points were, but I felt satisfied with the fact that I started off on a good note. Moreover, I felt satisfied with my decision to keep walking even when nothing appeared in the field instead of simply standing idly because of the unfamiliar environment.

Anyway, it was only then monsters came into view.

They were orcs that I first encountered outside Kotum Castle when I was level 5. They were not the Red Horn clan, nor the mountain clan.

But I wasn't worried at all because no matter how many rabbits there were, it did not matter to a wolf.

“Ice Ball! Ice Bolt!”

Puck! Puck!
