(2 weeks later in-game time.)
I'm finally at the Abyssal Crater. It's faster than I thought. Thanks to [Moonsteps] and my high MS, I reach this place in just two weeks without rest. I thought that it would take me a month since it takes at least 3 months if ordinary players are going to this place.
Thanks to those very high level monsters, I'm already level 300 in just a week. I look at the leaderboard and everyone is still around level 270. It's hard to level up now since it needs 3 million to 4 million EXP per level when the players reach level 270 and above.
I haven't messaged Becker that I'm coming, but I want to see what's in there, and I want to surprise him if it's where he is. Right now, I'm going to log out since I haven't had my lunch, and everyone is waiting for me as well.
I stand up from my pod and everyone is still in the gaming room waiting for me. They all are nodding at me. Emma then approaches me.
"Trev, how the hell did you manage to reach max level in just a few days?!"
I scoff and tilt my head.
"I went beyond the limit where the monsters' levels are above 3000."
Michael is laughing with disbelief.
"Holy sh*t... no wonder you maxed your level already."
Grisell is rubbing her stomach.
"Come on... I'm hungry... let's eat..."
Everyone is chuckling and then we go downstairs to eat lunch. Ernes already told the chef to cook our lunch even before I ask him about it. Well, he's a butler for a reason.
We are eating our lunch. Grisell keeps looking at her phone. Then she looks at us.
"Uhh, guys..."
We are looking at Grisell. Grisell then continues.
"There's an event called Battle of Zion Moor. It's like a war simulator it seems."
Everyone is curious about it and grabs their phones and reads the event on the official website. Emma is looking at with excitement. I check the update on my phone and it's still not yet released, only an announcement. I look at them and they all seem excited about it, but sadly the Forsaken- Clan is already disbanded.
Francesca is leaning on the chair and sighs.
"That sounds interesting. Especially when the clan possesses the castle. The rewards are unbelievably good. Not to mention the clan leader will get the godly item quest when ruled the castle for a month."
Chelsea is humming in agreement.
"But it's a weekly event. For a clan to be able to hold the castle for a month is quite impossible. We are talking about hundred thousands of clans that will try to take over the castle every week."
Leonardo is nodding in agreement.
"That's true. Even if they're implementing an alliance system, but only having 3 clans as their allies don't change the fact that they have to hold off thousands of big clans every week. What's more interesting is that those clans will find an alliance to help them take over the castle."
Ivonna is smiling while shaking her head.
"The skirmish event looks like a child play compared to this."
We all nod in agreement.
After I'm done eating my lunch, I immediately go to the gaming room while they're staying in the dining hall to talk about the BZM event.
I'm back into the game and look at the coordinate. It's a few hours from where I'm at. I start to run to that place because I don't want to waste any time.
I'm near the place where Becker pointed at. There's a huge abandoned castle in front of me. I look at the coordinate and the castle back and forth. The coordinate is inside that castle. I walk toward the castle that is surrounded by monsters. I have to clear the path since they're blocking my way.
I'm entering the castle and I'm surprised that there are so many NPCs inside the castle. Most of them are maids and servants. For some reason their faces are familiar. They all are shocked when see me entering the castle. Then a butler NPC approaches me. I'm surprised because this NPC looks exactly like Ernes.
"Welcome to the Abandoned Castle. My master has been waiting for you in his chamber."
I look at him for quite a while and he tilts his head with confusion. I scoff and shake my head. Then I follow him from behind.
The butler is standing in front of a huge door, then he opens it for me. He's pointing at the inside of the door. I look at the inside of the door, and it's a huge room. It's so dark and I can't see what's inside. I activate my [Eyes of the Moon] skill, but then a notification appears in front of me.
[This area is restricted from using any kind of skills]
It seems that Becker disabled all the skills as soon as I enter the castle. I enter the room and then the door behind me is closed immediately. My eyes are starting to get used to the darkness, and I can see a figure sitting on the chair. I'm squinting my eyes and I can see the body posture of that figure. I remember that kind of posture.
I smirk and wave.
"Long time no see, Becker."
The candles are lit as soon as I said that. A black-haired kid with blue eyes is grinning at me. He jolts from his seat and opens his arms so widely.
"Welcome to my castle!"
I chuckle and my eyes slowly are watering and I shed a tear. I don't know what makes me cry. Is it because of knowing that Becker is alive in this game, or is it because of his cheerful personality that I haven't seen for ages. But one thing for sure is that I'm happy that he seems happy.
Becker is startled and looks at me with worries.
"Are you alright, Trev?"
I wipe my eyes and exhales deeply while looking at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Becker is still worried about me but he pretends that he's not. He then taps at the chair beside him.
"Come, have a seat! There are so many things I want to hear from you."
I scoff and shake my head and then sit in front of him. Becker then looks up.
"Sev, can you come here for a moment? Let's hear Trevor's story with me."
Sev then appears from the shadow with her long white dress. She's smiling gorgeously and nods. Then she sits beside Becker.
I told him what is happening since he's gone. From me being depressed when he's gone to where I'm at right now. Becker was sad when he heard my story and what I have been through, but then as soon as I change the subject he started to smile again. He listened to my story and how he changed my world. He's pleased when knowing that I'm living happily because of him.
I look at both of them and raise my eyebrow.
"So, Becker. Are you and Sev live together now? Has your dream finally come true?"
Becker is grinning while giggling mischievously.
"Of course! But not really."
Becker is faking his crying while looking at me so pitifully.
"She still thinks of me as her master. I want her to be my waifu."
Sev is covering her mouth while chuckling. Becker looks at Sev with disbelief.
"See that? She now learned to mock! She has been teasing me for ages now. She's no longer respecting me like she used to do."
Sev is smiling innocently.
"But you are still the master I love. I will always gratitude for giving me life."
I'm laughing at Becker and look at them both.
"You guys look like an old couple."
Becker stands up with a happy expression.
"Are we?! Really?!"
Becker starts to tell his story now. From the day he entered the game and living with Sev. He has been observing everything with Sev. He's eagerly want to show himself to the players and go around the Orion to meet and interact with them, but he can't do that because it may affect him.
Sev is raising her eyebrows and staring at Becker with doubt.
"But master did show your affection towards two certain players even though you said it yourself that it is forbidden."
Becker is gasping and looks at Sev with disbelief.
"Why did you spill the bean, Sev?!"
I look at them both with confusion. Becker then looks at me and grinning apologetically. I raise my eyebrow and staring into his eyes. Becker then whining and then laughing nervously.
"The truth is..."
Becker is scratching his head.
"I did give them legendary weapons..."
I know who those two players are. Kingstar and Queenstar. There's no doubt about it anymore. So it was Becker's doing all along. Well, this is his game, so I'm not going to argue with his decision. He did give me a lot of gifts as well, so I can't complain and be such a hypocrite.
I sigh while staring at Becker.
"So that's how Kingstar and Queenstar got their legendary weapons, huh?"
Becker is laughing nervously while nodding in an agreement. Then he claps his hands.
"Anyway!"
Becker sits down and looks at me excitedly.
"There's something you need to know."
I tilt my head.
"What is it?"
Becker is smiling proudly.
"The Orion that we both knew is now bigger than before. The Abyssal Crater is no longer in the middle of the Orion. Sev and I have expanded the Orion and there are so many new things that you don't know."
I'm humming while looking at them excitedly.
"Really? That's nice. I can't wait to explore it."
Becker is grinning happily.
"I knew you're going to love it. There's another thing that will make the game more interesting."
I raise my eyebrows.
"Another thing? How many new things have you both created?"
Becker and Sev are looking at each other and chuckling mischievously. Sev then stands up while smiling at me.
"Transcension."
