4 First Boss! (1/2)
”That is relieving! Gladly I was able to register for the closed beta phase. The rumors were true after all!” Pedro leaned back to the chair and relaxed.
He was reminded that in his 'past', Bearth Online was only able to get a small number of Closed Beta Players. There were many different reasons for that.
One was the VR Box' price. It was not cheap. The developers of the game would typically provide closed beta players their needs to play the game. It might be free, or some may cost but is not more expensive than the VR helmet.
The second was related to the first one. VR Boxes were new technology. It meant that the first users would become the 'actual' guinea pigs. Of course, no one would want to be in that place.
What if it malfunctioned? What if there were hidden risks?
These questions arose to their minds. The uncertainty was clear and the risks were high. At top of that, they were to pay for a huge amount for that?
No way! Just for a game? To risk your life? Either you are a fool or a rich tycoon who is 'very' adventurous.
”We can't blame people for being careful. After all, unless you are like me who time-traveled back and knew about the future. You won't take this much of a risk.” Pedro sighed as he stares at the website of Bearth Online.
”No need to worry about that. Let them think in that way. In any case, I might as well try to invite Annie and the others to 'switch' (1) to Bearth Online.”
”Knowing them and the previous encounter, they will contact me once again sooner or later. As of now... should I go back to sleep? Oh~” Pedro glanced to his bed.
But before he stands up, he took a glance at the game logo of Bearth Online on the website. Suddenly, he was reminded of the most exciting and unique thing at the start of the game.
”In-game Names.”
'In-game Name? Hmm...' He rubbed his chin as tons of ideas surged into his mind.
He remembered that the first ”Cheat code or trap” considered by the players was the In-game Name, IGN.

In the past, casually starting, even the closed beta players choose names based on their liking. Only until the official launch of the game that they learned that they can also get skills from selecting their IGN.
This was a godly, life-saving skill considering that deaths from AVR games, like Bearth Online, can cause instant deletion of their character.
This person was scouted by many guilds, including Pedro's Ares guild, but he joined a guild called ”Starter Pack”. That said guild, later on, belonged in the tier-B guild ranking. Knowing this, new players started selecting their ign carefully so that they could get some skills.
Due to the intense competition, Information was limited. It was up to the point that there was only a small amount of information leaked after the 6 years Pedro played the game.
Some of the 'leaked' information were the well-known IGNs of tier A professional players who ranked at the top 100. Among them was Hope and Faith.
”Hope”
The player that had this IGN was given a legendary-rated skill that boosts the Attack Damage and HP regeneration of you and your allies by 70% as your hp falls below 20%.
This was a godly skill specially designed for tanks. Imagine doing PVEs with your main tank having a skill like this. Not only it helps sustain survivability of everyone in the party, but It can also increase the firepower of everyone on crucial times.

”Faith”
The player that had this IGN also had a legendary-rated skill that boosts the attack damage of you and your allies by 150% and increases your life steal by 100% of your damage when your hp falls below 10%.
Only one word. ”OP” It was super Overpowered!
Those two were amongst the well-known IGNs that gave a legendary-rated skill right of the start. Both skills' only weakness was that when the player's HP returns to 30% the effect will end and a cooldown of 3 minutes will start.
