Legacy of the Betelgeuse

My head is spinning for a bit and then I open my eyes. I'm back to reality. Becker is already checking the computer and typing something on the keyboard. I get up from the capsule bed and holding my head. Becker looks at me.

"Are you having nausea, Trev? If so, I have the right medicine for that."

I'm rubbing my head.

"Yeah, my head is spinning quite a bit."

Becker reaches the drawer and grabs something. A bottle filled with pills. He takes out one of the pills.

"Here, drink this. It's for anemia. It seems that you have low blood pressure. You've been staying up late the past few days?"

I grab the pill and swallow it down. I nod.

"Yeah, I have a sleeping problem. But right now I feel like I can hit the bed and fall asleep immediately."

Becker turns off the computer.

"Ah, that must be because you're playing the game."

I raise my eyebrow.

"Why is that?"

Becker takes a sip of the coffee.

"This device makes our brains work harder. Around 20% to 23% than the usual. The reason why people have a sleeping problem is that their brains are still active. Now, since their brains work harder because of this device, it makes their brains and bodies feel tired afterward."

I'm humming with understanding.

"I see, this is great!"

Becker nods and walks towards the door.

"Let's go. I will show you the guest room. It's not that far from mine."

I nod and bring the coffee with me.

We get out of his room and walk to the other side of the hallway. He said the room is not that far, but it seems that we have been walking for a minute now. When we reach the end of the hallway, he opens the door on the right side of the hallway.

"There you go. This is your room. There's a bathroom over there with a bathtub. There's also a pair of clean clothes for you to wear."

I look around.

"Thanks, I'll take a shower and go to bed then."

Becker nods.

"I'll see you in the morning for breakfast."

I nod and he closes the door and leaves.

The next morning.

Someone is knocking on the door. I open my eyes and jolt from the bed to open the door. A maid wearing a maid uniform. This is the first time I see someone in real life wearing a maid uniform.

"Good morning, sir Trevor. Young master is waiting for you in the dining room. Please let me know when you are ready. I will wait here to accompany you to the dining room."

I'm rubbing my face.

"Oh, you don't have to. I will go there by myself."

The maid shakes her head and smiles.

"I insist."

It must be Becker who ordered her to do so.

"Okay then, give me a minute."

The maid nods. I close the door and wash my face. Then come back.

"Let's go."

The maid nods.

"Please follow me."

We walk downstairs and go to the back of the mansion. The maid then opens the door. A huge hall with a long dining table like in the movies where the King invites their guest for a feast. This is more like a dining hall than a room.

Becker notices me and his waves. I approach him and sit beside him. He smiles.

"How's your sleep, Trev?"

I smile.

"It was pleasant. It's been a while since I had a good night's sleep. It's thanks to you of course."

He's grinning.

The servants come in from the other door with a big food trolley. Dozens of foods are on it. I look at Becker with disbelief and he's just chuckling. I feel like a nobleman. The servants and the maids serve the food and put it on the dining table. One of the maids put the foods on my plate, and I don't know how to react to it. Becker is smiling.

"These are just the appetizers, so don't eat too much."

I look at him with confusion.

"You called these an appetizer?! Are you kidding me? These can last for a few days for me and I can eat with just these for breakfast until dinner."

Becker is laughing. The maids and the servants are smiling at me. I feel so embarrassed now. Becker grabs the spoon and the fork.

"You don't have to worry about not finishing up all the food. I asked the chef to cook all these so the maids and the servants can also eat these later after we are done with ours."

I nod with understanding and grab the utensil.

We are eating the appetizers and they taste so delicious. The more I eat, the more hungry I feel. So this is why they called it the appetizer, it stimulates my appetite. Then the servants come in with another food trolley. This time it's the food that they called the main course meal. A lot of meats in the foods. The maids put the food on the table and serve them to me. Becker nods.

"Let's eat!"

I take a bite of the food and immediately put down the spoon and the fork on it. I exhale deeply.

"Oh my God! This is delicious!"

Becker chuckles and almost choked on his food. The maids and servants are covering their mouths. I don't care about manners, but the foods are just perfectly delicious. One of the servants approaches us he pours a bottle of red wine into Becker's glass. He approaches me.

"Would you like one, sir?"

I look at him and grab my glass.

"Yes, please!"

He smiles and nods then pours the wine into my glass.

I take a sip and the wine is so smooth. it goes in without a problem. I look at the wine bottle that the servant is holding. Cedron Winery! That's the most expensive wine in the world! The servant notices and smiles.

After we are done eating our main course, another servant comes in. A cake and ice creams on his hands. He puts the ice cream on Becker's plate and the cake on mine. Becker immediately chows down the ice creams and I take a bite of the cake.

"This is perfection... I can't go back now..."

Becker choked on his ice creams. The maid approaches him and pours a glass of water while holding her laughter. Becker coughs.

"You took me by a surprise, Trev."

I chuckle and then my phone is vibrating. I grab my phone and there's an order to escort a customer. I stand up and Becker is looking at me.

"What's wrong?"

I'm typing on my phone.

"I got a customer. I have to go."

Becker nods and when I'm about to leave, Becker stops me. I turn around and look at him. He approaches me and pulls out his phone.

"Give me your contact. Let's keep in touch. Maybe I'll need your services again later."

I nod and give my contact to him.

"Thank you for the feast, Becker. I'll see you later then."

He nods and one of the servants accompanies me outside. He opens the mansion's entrance gate for me. I leave the mansion and go to the meeting point.

Several hours have passed. It's 9 p.m. and I'm at my house resting after a long day of work. I turn on my computer and then my phone vibrate. I sigh.

"Please not another customer..."

I check my phone and it's Becker who messaged me.

"Trev, can I have your home address?"

I raise my eyebrows while replying to his message.

"Uhh, sure. Here's my address..."

I put my phone down and open the game on my computer.

It's 11 p.m. and I'm shutting my computer down. I look at my phone and wonder why Becker needs my address. When I'm about to hit the bed, my phone is vibrating. I check my phone and Becker replies.

"Please go outside, Trev. There's a package for you. My servants are waiting outside of your house."

I tilt my head and immediately run to the front door. I open the door and I see three men are waiting outside with a huge box. I look around.

"Good evening. Are you guys sent here by Becker?"

They all nod and one of the guys approach me.

"We are ordered to put this device in your house and setting it up for you, sir."

I raise my eyebrow.

"Device? Well, first of all, let's get inside. It's cold out here."

They all nod and walk-in while carrying the package. It seems heavy so I help them out. When I lift it, it is heavy. Then we all get inside my house. We put down the package carefully. One of the guys looks around.

"The young master said to put the device in your room, sir."

I look at them and pointing at my room upstairs.

"It's up there."

They all nod and continue carrying the package upstairs. help them out and when we are inside my room, they're opening the package and it's one of the capsule beds from Becker's room.

"Wait, is this the one from Becker's room?"

They all nod.

"Yes, sir. It's a gift from a young master."

I nod and they all busy setting up the device in my room.

After they're done setting up the device they immediately leave my house. I take my phone and reply to his message.

"You're giving me one of your devices for me?"

Becker is typing and a notification appears.

"Yes. I thought you might want it since you seem excited about the game. So I gave it to you so you can play it every day. We can play together from now on without having you come to my house to play."

I shake my head while typing.

"You're crazy. This thing must be worth a fortune."

Becker sent an emoji and replies.

"It's fine, I still have 9 of them. Anyway, I'm going to sleep. I hope you like it. Good night, Trev."

I reply to his message and put my phone down. I'm looking at the device and still can't believe he gave this device to me. I guess I'll start using this tomorrow. I turn off the lights in my room and go to sleep.
