Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Ezira then walks past me. She turns her head and looks at me from the corner of her eyes.

"Follow me, let us talk privately in my place."

I follow Ezira from behind, she's walking toward one of the trees and puts her hand on it. A portal is opening and she looks at me.

"Get in."

When I get closer to the portal, a notification appears.

[System Error!]

[Player is unable to enter the ???]

[The system is forbidding you to go any further]

[Your progress as Disciple of Ezira "The Empress of Orion" Alexus will be on hold until further notice]

Ezira is furrowing her forehead while staring at me with confusion. I sigh and look at Ezira.

"I'm not allowed to enter. I also don't think I can enter anytime soon."

Ezira leans on the tree while crossing her arms and legs.

"I see. Well then, let us meet again when you can. I will send you back to Orion and spend your time together with the other heroes."

Ezira then uses her finger to cut open a rift. She's pointing her hand at the rift.

"I will be waiting for you, Trevor."

I nod.

"I will be back soon."

I enter the rift and I'm back at the center of the capital city. Everyone is looking at me with surprise written on their faces. Ivonna is running toward me and I can tell that she's curious about why I'm the only one that stayed in the land of Sigrid.

Ivonna is catching her breath.

"Hi. Where were you? Did you stay in that place when we all got sent back here?"

I look at the rift that is closing and disappearing.

"Yeah, something happened when you guys left."

Ivonna is looking at me with curiosity.

"Oh? What happened?"

When I'm about to open my mouth a notification appears.

[Good Evening, Adventurers!]

[Legacy of the Betelgeuse Online will be offline in 1 hour for maintenance.]

[We the developers with Admin Sev will be adding a new feature related to the Hero system and the Heroes that has been chosen by the Betelgeuse. Unfortunately, we do not have the exact time when the game will be back up online. We will keep it up to date in the forum and in the official website related to the maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.]

[Please log out from the game to avoid anything that is unwanted and unexpected.]

[May the Betelgeuse Bless you all!]

Everyone is looking at the notification and then all of them are logging out from the game. Ivonna and I are looking at each other and decide to log out as well.

I open my eyes and my whole body is numb and I can't move so suddenly. I guess this is because of the aftereffect of using the Real-Mode. I guess that's why the system warned me so many times when I was using the Real-Mode.

I groan.

"F*ck..."

Emma is peeking her head at my pod, and after she sees me unable to move, she immediately approaches me and lifts me up so slowly. Everyone is confused, but Michael and Leo immediately help me walk. Ivonna and the rest of them are walking toward me. My whole body is still numb and achy.

Francesca looks at my body.

"What happened to your body, Trev? You look in pain."

I raise my eyebrows.

"Yeah, it's the aftereffect of using the Real-Mode. I think I need to lay down on my bed."

Emma, William, and Leo help me walk to my bed and put help me lay down on the bed.

"Thanks, guys."

Michael and Leo nod. Emma sits next to me and sighs.

"Trev, I have seen you many times having problems whenever you're done playing the game. It's either you're having a massive headache, low blood pressure, getting a fever, and even passing out from exhaustion, then now this. You need to stop playing excessively and get more rest."

I scoff and look at her.

"Do I have a choice? I mean I could log out from the game and get some rest, but I think you understand the situation in the game back then, right?"

Emma is making funny noises and then she can't deny it. Chelsea then stands next to me.

"Do you need anything, Trev? We can bring you food and maybe so medicine if you need it. We are going to get something to eat downstairs."

I'm humming while thinking.

"Just bring me orange juice and maybe ask the chef to make me a soup. That sounds nice."

Chelsea smiles and nods.

"Okay, we will tell the chef and the maid to bring them here."

I nod and everyone leaves the room to eat.

I look at the balcony and the sun is up. I look at the time and it's 1 P.M. To think that everything that happened in the game only took 7 hours in real life is still unbelievable. I close my eyes for a bit because I'm so tired and I fall asleep immediately.

"Trev?"

Someone is touching my shoulder and I open my eyes. I can't tell if it's Ivonna or Chelsea since they both have the same hair color and the same length. I keep blinking my eyes to see clearly. It's Ivonna with a silver plate in her hand. A bowl of soup and ice orange juice. I try to move my body and it's getting better compared to before.

I sit up while rubbing my eyes.

"What time is it?"

Ivonna put the silver plate on the cupboard next to the bed.

"It's 3 P.M. How's your condition?"

I stretch my body.

"Better."

I look around the room and there's no one else besides me and Ivonna.

"Where are the others?"

Ivonna looks at the room.

"Everyone is resting after we had our lunch. I believe they're exhausted from the invasion as well."

I'm humming with understanding.

"You should get some rest too, Ivonna. Are you not tired?"

Ivonna is smiling and nodding.

"I am, but all the ladies are sleeping in my bed, so I can't. I will wait for them to wake up."

I raise my eyebrows and immediately get off of my bed. I'm pointing at the bed while looking at her.

"You can use my bed. I'm fine for now, and even if I want to rest again, I can use the couch. It's not a big deal. I don't take no as the answer. You need to rest and I really mean it."

I'm drinking my ice orange juice while staring at her and raising my eyebrows waiting for her to get on the bed. Ivonna chuckles quietly and then nods. She then gets on the bed and uses the other side of the bed. She immediately closes her eyes and hugging the pillow. I grab my bowl of soup and go to the couch and turn on the TV.

I'm watching the news related to the invasion in the game. I just realized that nowadays almost all the news is talking about the game and nothing else. The Supremacist clan and headquarter in Germany is their main topic since Kingstar has been chosen as one of the Heroes. The Supremacist Clan got so many sponsors that are worth more than 1 billion dollars. The Supremacist Clan is now officially a company. I also see Diamond and Lothair's faces in the news, now I know what they look like. Both of them are also planning to make their own headquarters because they both received a lot of money and they both got an offer from the sponsor to fund their headquarters. Everything has changed and the game is no longer just a game, but a business opportunity like those competitive games.

I open my phone to check on the forum related to the maintenance of the game. It seems that it will take quite a while for them to add a new system. I'm curious why it takes them so long since Sev is the one who knows and has everything in the game. It should be easy for her to take care of this small matter. Maybe I should ask about this to herself.

I summon Sev on the phone and she appears on the screen.

"Good afternoon, Trevor. What can I help you with?"

I shake my head.

"No, I'm just curious why it takes so long for you to update the game because you already know about this and know what to do. Are you planning to add something new into the game as well as what Becker said back then. The uhh... Transcension?"

Sev is just smiling and she's not confirming my question or statement.

"You will see them yourself later, Trevor. My master has prepared everything for you and all the players. So wait patiently and you will be amazed by the new updates."
