Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Ivonna peeks her head and looks at Chelsea on my back.

"What happened to her?"

I smile and look at Chelsea.

"She\'s just tired and a bit drunk. Anyway, would you like to help me put her in her bed? My hands are full."

Ivonna smiles and nods.

We go upstairs and on our way to her bedroom. But then Chelsea starts mumbling.

"Trev... you\'re... cool..."

Ivonna raises her eyebrows and looks at me.

"It seems that she got herself a very nice date."

I laugh quietly and nod.

"Yeah, it was."

After we put her in her bed and Ivonna changed her clothes, we are standing in front of her room in silence. I clear my throat and rub my head.

"I\'m going to get myself a hot coffee. Do you care to join me, Ivonna?"

Ivonna looks at me for quite a while and then nods.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing."

We go into my room and I\'m brewing a coffee for both of us. Ivonna is staring at the TV and so I turn it on for her. She smiles and watches the news on the TV. We are not saying a single word and we are too occupied with our own thing. The silence is not really awkward, it\'s more like, peaceful.

I walk toward her and give her a cup of coffee. I sit next to her while watching the news. But then something interesting comes up on the news. We both are looking at each other and look at the headline. The headline is [The Supremacist Clan is creating their own headquarter in Germany]. Schneider a.k.a Kingstar is standing in front of empty vast land with a brown-haired blue eyes woman standing next to her.

Ivonna is pointing her index finger at the woman while holding the cup of coffee.

"That\'s Queenstar."

I look at Ivonna with disbelief.

"What? Really? How did you know?"

Ivonna grabs her phone and shows me her contact. She\'s pointing at one of her contacts. She\'s pointing at Alexa (Queenstar) on her contact and she opens Queenstar\'s profile picture and it\'s the same woman who\'s on the TV right now. She says that both her and Queenstar exchanging their contact in the game earlier on the auction. The reason why they both exchanging their contact is that if one of them need help in the future raid, they can contact each other easily.

I\'m humming with understanding.

The reporter is asking Schneider about what is the reason for him to make a headquarter for the clan in real life. He replies that they got a sponsor and he\'s planning to make his clan as an investment for the people to gain more money. As soon as the headquarter is built, the Supremacist Clan will have a new policy, which is the Supremacist Clan will no longer help players on raids without receiving money from them. Basically, they\'re offering services like a business. I\'m not complaining about that because the Supremacist Clan has been helping players from different clans on raids and their success rate is 100%.

He\'s also encouraging other big clans to do the same thing and he says that so many sponsors are willing to invest in their clans if they\'re interested. He says that the Palacetasia Clan is also building its own headquarters in the U.K. and so many sponsors are lining up to invest their money in the Palacetasia Clan. Schneider also mentions other clans that are also planning on making their own headquarters, including the Diamond and the Cloud Veil Clans.

I\'m chuckling with disbelief and then look at Ivonna.

"This is smart because sooner or later, people will do this to gain a lot of profit, and also they\'re doing this before the BZM event is out. The BZM event will be like a world championship. Once the BZM event is out, they will be rich from the sponsor without even have to do anything."

Ivonna nods in agreement.

"Yeah. The BZM event will be like a diamond mine for sponsors. I never thought this game will be an e-Sport game. But I honestly agree with what he said. This is no longer just a game, this game is like our second life. A life that we can enjoy without any worries, and on the other hand, it also can make a huge profit."

I\'m humming in agreement.

"By the way. How was the auction? Who bought the Legendary Box and for how much? I haven\'t checked it on the forum."

Ivonna looks at me and shows a picture of someone.

"Do you know who this is?"

I look at a young man and he looks familiar. Then I remember him from one of the pro players in the most famous RTS game called, Lore of the Heroes. I remember that his net worth is around 120 million dollars. His name is Liu "Jade-" Zhang from China.

"That\'s Jade-, right?"

Ivonna nods.

"Yeah. He bought the Legendary Box for 28 million dollars, and he got [Tara\'s Javelin]. We have no idea what it does, but as soon as he opened it and read it. He laughed and shook his head with disbelief, and then he left without even showing it to us."

I personally forgot what that weapon does. Maybe if I can see the spear\'s design, I can recall what it does. Or maybe I can just open the app on my phone and ask Sev about it. But I can\'t do it since Ivonna is here with me right now. For this one, I don\'t want anyone to know about this.

Ivonna is looking at me as if she\'s waiting for my explanation of what the weapon does. I\'m humming with understanding and shake my head.

"I don\'t remember what it does since there are hundreds of thousands of legendary weapons that I have seen in the game that I forgot which is which."

I look at her and clear my throat.

"So, how\'s your progress deciphering the messages from the book for the godly item quest? It\'s been a while since I ask you about it."

Ivonna sighs and leans on the sofa.

"Well, it\'s difficult of course. But, I already made a plan with Aspen."

Ivonna stops and stares at me for quite a while. I tilt my head and raise my eyebrows.

"And?"

Ivonna clears her throat and nods.

"And, he seems to know the places that may lead to the next clue for the quest. So we both are going to explore the Orion for the next few days. Francesca will be with me, so you don\'t have to worry about it."

Ivonna puts her hand on her lips and then smiles nervously.

"Forget that. I don\'t think it\'s necessary for me to say that last words..."

I smile and shake my head.

"No, I\'m glad that Francesca is going to accompany you so you can feel at ease."

Ivonna just smiles and goes back to watch the news.

We are watching the news for quite a while, and then I look at Ivonna. She\'s asleep and she seems exhausted from staying up late, especially after she\'s carrying the others in the Klagliaad Forest earlier. She must be mentally and physically exhausted. I really want to wake her up and tell her to go back to her room, but her room is quite far from mine and she already feels comfortable on the sofa.

I look at my bed and then look at Ivonna. I\'m slowly picking her up so she won\'t wake up and move her to the bed. I put a blanket on her and she immediately grabs a body pillow and starts to snore quietly. I go back and sit on the sofa while watching the TV.

I grab my phone and open the SevOS. Sev appears on my screen and when she\'s about to open her mouth, I put my finger on my lips so she doesn\'t speak loudly. Sev nods with understanding.

"What can I do for you, Trevor?"

I tilt my head and sigh.

"Can you show me the Tara\'s Javelin?"

Sev snaps her finger and a new tab appears.

[Tara\'s Javelin: The spear with a glowing red blade that is made from a fragment of one of the dead stars that was discovered in the Orion. It\'s so hot that whoever touches it, their hands will melt. A spear that has never been used by anyone. The person who made this spear died from creating the spear. In his last moment, he said that this spear is not meant to be used because of how dangerous the spear can be. It is said that the person who made this spear also made something else with the dead star\'s fragment.

Rarity: Legendary (R50)

Base ATK: 280

Requirements: Level 150, STR 50, INT 100.

Passive skill: Meltwave (Every swing of the spear will release a scorching heatwave. Anyone in a 5-meter radius of the blade will take DPS based on the player\'s ATK and M.ATK ((((50% ATK)+(100% M.ATK))+0.3% Target\'s Max HP))

Tradeable and Marketable. Cannot be sold.]

I\'m humming with understanding.

"This one is quite nice. What do you think Sev?"

Sev is smiling and nods.

"It does. If it\'s combined with [Tara\'s Gauntlet], it will become very powerful."

I\'m staring at Sev for quite a while. Sev tilts her head.

"Is there something else that you are interested in, Trevor?"

I smirk and raise my eyebrow.

"Can you show me all the magic spells list? I think I\'m going to try to be a spell caster since all my three weapon masteries already reach level 9."
