Chapter 13: Three Rewards (2)

<Trait: Mutual Growth

: Growing together

Select one parent stat among Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intellectual Power and Willpower.

After that, you can choose two stats that can grow together with the parent stat.

The first stat to grow together will grow with the parent stat at 100%.

The second to grow together will grow with the parent stat at 50%

Example: If you choose the parent stat and set up the first Mutual Growth stat with Stamina, and the second Mutual Growth stat with Agility, then invest 100 stat points in Stamina, the first Mutual Growth stat’s Stamina will grow by 100 stat points, and the second Mutual Grown stat’s Agility will grow by 50 stat points. But the two stats belonging to the parent stat as Mutual Growth won’t go over the maximum limit.

The two stats belonging to the parent stat as Mutual Growth are not affected by skills or items.>

<If you do not choose a potential parent stat and the two stat points that will grow together with it, you won’t receive EXP. Once set, the stat is impossible to change.>

I was surprised when I received the ‘Iceman’ trait as a bonus for my achieving the maximum level in the first closed beta.

Well, I could not help but be surprised.

In fact, the bonus was too much for me, even though there was a condition for the bonus that said the potential recipient should not only participate in the closed beta, but also achieve the max level.

But the bonus for my achievements in the second closed beta made me think twice because it was much more than the first bonus.

“I wonder if it’s okay for them to give me all these bonuses.”

Slowly reviewing the trait of ‘Mutual Growth’ once again, I murmured to myself.

I questioned it because even those who didn’t know much about games could immediately identify the huge benefits that the Mutual Growth trait would bring about.

To put it simply, 100 stat points would grow into 250. In other words, 150% stat points were additionally awarded with the Mutual Growth trait.

Of course, if the stat point is not 100, but 1,000 or 10,000, the increase will be huge proportionately.

But I turned my attention to other stuff because I needed to claim another bonus.

The third closed beta was so difficult that I could barely achieve the max level. I made it only one hour before it was closed.

<You’re the user who achieved the max level in the third closed beta. You will receive one trait as a bonus for achieving the maximum level. But the trait is determined by the grade you attain according to the following factors:

Number of killed monsters (including the boss monster) during the third closed beta: SSS grade

Number of killed users during the third closed beta: F grade

Grade of items you attained during the third closed beta: SS grade

Grade of golden rings you attained during the third closed beta: SS grade

Skill grade you achieved at the closing of the third closed beta: S grade

Your final grade in the third closed beta is SS. You have received the ‘God of Strengthening’ trait.>

“...”

I was extremely busy during the third closed beta, so much so that I could not find time to use the golden rings I had worked hard to earn or the numerous items that I had earned by hunting.

For my only goal was to achieve the max level.

So, I could understand why the grade of the items and the number of golden rings I had at the closing of the third closed beta were SS, not SSS in the first and second.

That’s why I felt sad.

I received the F although I didn’t kill any users, or mount any attacks not only in the field of honor but also in the fields from the first, second and third closed betas.

At a glance, I could easily see that ‘God of Strengthening’ was a ridiculous trait.

Maybe I would have received a more ridiculous trait if I had received an S or an A for killing other users in the field of honor.

But I could do nothing about the given trait for my achievements.

So, I pulled myself together and confirmed the ‘God of Strengthening’ option when another message rang. It didn’t ring in the first and second closed betas.

<You are the only achiever of the max level in the third closed beta. You will receive the following bonuses:

Three additional remaining skill points

1,000 additional remaining stat points

100 million golden rings>

<You achieved the max level in the first, second, and third closed betas in a row. You will receive the following special bonus:

Title: The only closed beta max level achiever.>

At that moment, my mind was blown by the series of messages, for I knew how ridiculous the above-mentioned bonuses were as someone who already played the games. However, I could accept the title, ‘The only closed beta max level achiever.’

Collapse or destruction of balance.

I could understand three remaining skill points and 100 million golden rings, but given the ‘Mutual Growth’ trait that I received in return for my max level achievement in the first and second closed betas, the 1,000 stat points were not just simply 1,000. They were 2,500.

So, I could not help but look at the messages blankly for a long time.

The bonus given to a max level achiever like me was simply too ridiculous.

Then I opened my mouth quietly because I needed to confirm something.

“Confirm Trait. God of Enhancement.”

<Trait: God of Enhancement

: There is no failure for strengthening in my dictionary.

Attempting to strengthen after activating the God of Strengthening will be 100% successful. But it can require additional golden rings and EXP, depending on the grade and item options.

After a successful strengthening with the activation God o Enhancement, the cooldown will depend on the grade and item options. You cannot activate God of Enhancement during the cooldown.>

“Wow…”

I anticipated it because of the term itself ‘God of Enhancement’.

Of course, there were some restrictions such as a cool time.

But without these kinds of restrictions, the God of Enhancement would be really an absurd power, so much so that it would ruin the game itself.

To be honest, I thought the game was already ruined to some degree because of the time.

After all, time would resolve the restrictions set by cooldowns.

“Is this really OK?”

Even though I participated in the closed beta and achieved the max level with hard efforts, each of the bonuses was really enormous, ranging from ‘Iceman’ and ‘Mutual Growth’ to ‘God of Enhancement’ this time.

Possession of only one of these traits could be called ‘fraudulent.’

If I found out that any gamer, not me, possessed one of the three traits, I would have given up these games, cursing at the game operator and company for their sloppy operations.

But I chuckled myself before I knew it.

“Hhhhhhhm.”

Yes, all three of those were mine.

“Well, I don’t think the bonuses will be given to me alone.”

In fact, the message clearly mentioned that the bonus was given to the max level achiever in the first, second, and third closed betas. And I’d seen those who achieved the max level.

I participated in the boss monster raids with them.

Looking back, achieving the max level in the first closed beta was not that easy.

I would say it was very easy.

The level of difficulty went up, starting with the second closed beta.

As for the results of the third one, the message already confirmed that I was the only max level achiever. That’s why I received a huge bonus.

The only thing was the grade, but there was one thing I was sure of.

In other words, I was probably the only one who didn’t stop hunting monsters even after I achieved the maximum level. Besides, I possessed rare items and the greatest number of golden rings even before the system reset itself.
