Legacy of the Betelgeuse

We are outside the Fjel town. I'm standing beside William. Trevor grabs his twin chained sickles from his inventory. William grabs his scythe. Trevor is surprised because William is using a scythe, and the scythe he's using is quite good because he bought it from someone for $1200. After that, Trevor puts his sickles in his inventory and grabs his scythe. This is going to be fun because William is known for being good at this game by his clan members and the players from the Aarus Empire's faction.

William is confused about Trevor's scythe. He looks at me.

"Is he really using that scythe, Miss Emma?"

I have no idea what William is talking about because I'm just a new player.

"What's wrong with his scythe?"

William shakes his head.

"That's a weapon that all the players can buy from the NPC. Is he underestimating me?"

I'm chuckling and pat his back.

"Maybe. Even if he's underestimating you, but he's not a guy who shows mercy to his opponent. Just be careful or you will die before you know it."

William smirks.

"There's no way he can kill me with that. I have pretty good equipment on me."

I smile and sigh.

"You just haven't seen it. Good luck! I'll be watching you from the side."

William raises his eyebrows with confusion. I walk to the side and sit down on the ground while enjoying the breeze.

William readied his stance and Trevor rested his scythe on his shoulder. Trevor threw his scythe at William, but William dodged it. When William was about to move, Trevor took him by a surprise. Trevor teleported to where his scythe was and then slashed William and dealt 636 damage. Trevor smirked and teased William.

William jumped back to make some distance between him and Trevor, then he drank a health potion. Before William could ready himself, Trevor used the same skill as back then. His shadow was floating on his back holding a scythe and it was 10 times bigger than Trevor. He slashed William over and over. William couldn't dodge his attacks because he got feared status. Then Trevor stabbed his scythe on the ground and spawned several scythes from the ground and slashed William. William was overwhelmed by it, and Trevor didn't waste his time and threw his scythe again at William. I knew at that moment that William won't be able to survive Trevor. William got stunned and Trevor finished him up in less than 10 seconds.

I approached them and resurrected William immediately. I looked at Trevor and smiled, he chuckled softly. William jolted from the ground and approached Trevor. He was amazed at Trevor's skills and asked a lot of things.

Trevor told him about scythe weapon skills and how to use them. He spent quite a long time to explained everything to William. William's eyes were glimmering in awe and listened to every Trevor's words thoroughly. Then we went back to Fjel town to eat.

We are enjoying our food. I look at Trevor.

"By the way, what's your level now, Trev?"

Trevor raises his eyebrows.

"My level is 145."

I'm giggling mischievously.

"I'm 147. My level is higher than yours now."

Trevor scoffs and shakes his head.

"I see. Now you're leaving me behind, huh?"

I'm laughing and when I'm about to reply. A notification appears in front of us. We all stop eating and reading the notification.

We, the developer grateful for your support and for playing this game. We wish that our journey with you all will last forever and be full of joy and thrill!

May the Betelgeuse bless you!]

The three of us immediately checked the forum. Every player commented on the event thread. They were all hyped for this event and couldn't wait to participate in the events. Jason really did a great job. His words are true and nothing is changed from where we were discussing the events back then.

I'm thinking about the exchange event. It is said that the monsters will drop [Betelgeuse's Coin] and base on the detailed information on the forum, the drop rate is 25%. If I hunt those monsters with my daggers, I should get more compared to the other players which are great. They didn't show the items for the exchange event, because they wanted to make it a surprise to the players.

I look at Emma and William and they're excited about the events. Emma looks at me.

"You don't look surprised."

I smirk.

"Well, I don't think I'm going to participate in any of those events. I'm more interested in the exchange event. So I'll be hunting monsters for the next two weeks. Maybe I will watch the skirmish game when I'm tired of hunting monsters."

Emma is squinting her eyes.

"Right... because of your stats, huh? Well, it's better than you participating in the PvP event. Because if you do, then you will win first place easily. Ohh, and thankfully you don't have a clan or join one. So you can't join the skirmish event as well!"

I scoff and shake my head. William looks at us with confusion.

"Stats? What stats?"

Emma taps on William's back.

"Nothing, you don't need to know."

Emma looks at her screen and then stands up.

"Ivonna is summoning all the members to the base. I have to go. I think she wants to talk about the event."

Emma looks at William then she continues.

"You should go as well. Your clan members must be waiting for your words related to the event."

William nods.

"Right. I should get going as well."

Emma and William hurriedly ate their food. After that, they said goodbye to me and then left to their own clan base. I enjoyed my food while looking at the thread. Then I went to Hacal's house. He was sitting on the chair as always. He noticed me and then stood up. He smiled and approached me.

"Did you meet the Saintess?"

I nod and grab her diary and show it to Hacal. He grabs it and reads the book.

"What is this?"

I explained everything to him about how I got this book and why I possessed her diary. Hacal sat down with his sad expression. Then he took a deep breath and read the diary thoroughly. I pointed and one of the paragraphs in the book. He looked at it and read it. It was about the Land of Sigrid.

Hacal closes the book and looking at the field in front of him.

"To be a hero... have to sacrifice oneself for the greater good then they can enter the Land of Sigrid."

I'm humming with an agreement.

[Hacal's second request. (Completed)]

[After knowing that he cannot enter the Land of Sigrid, Hacal gave up on looking for someone he once knew and met]

I tilt my head and furrow my forehead while looking at Hacal. I clear my throat.

"I'm planning to go to the Land of Sigrid. I will find a way to obtain this [Hero] title."

Hacal is surprised and looks at me.

"Really?"

I smile and nod confidently. Hacal looks at the book.

"Is that so. Then, can I have a request? There is someone I want you to meet, but I'm not going to tell you who it is now. I don't want to burden you with it until you can finally enter the Land of Sigrid."

[Hacal's third request]

[There is someone that Hacal wants you to meet. Find a way to obtain the [Hero] title. After you got it, come to Hacal and ask for the person he wants you to meet]

[Rewards: None]

[Failed: No Penalty]

[Accept this quest? Y/N]

...

...

...

[Yes]

Hacal slightly smiles.

"Thank you. I wish you can get the [Hero] title soon."

I nod and then Hacal gives me back Miriam's diary. Then I leave after I said goodbye.

On my way back to Fjel town, I remember that Jason gave me Becker's ID. I open my email and copy Becker's ID and add him to my friend list. A notification appears immediately.

[Becker has accepted your friend request!]
