Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Ivonna is crossing her arms and legs while looking at Francesca.

"Did you and Trevor talked about our clan's situation?"

Francesca is raising her eyebrow.

"No, why do you think that we did?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"Nothing. I just thought that you both did because you both were staring at each other as if you both were planning or scheming something."

Francesca chuckles and puts her legs on the table.

"I'm just ranting about it to him. That's all."

Ivonna rests her head on the table while looking at Francesca.

"Are you mad at me?"

Francesca puts her legs down and rests her head on the table as well while looking at Ivonna's eyes.

"I was. But after you agreed with Trevor's ideas, I forgive you. This is the first time you took a stranger's advice. If it was me who proposed that idea, I'm pretty sure you're not going to listen to it."

Ivonna lifts her head.

"But he's not a stranger."

Francesca shrugs.

"But still, compared to me. I have known you for almost 5 years now."

Francesca sighs and lifts her head then stands up.

"Well, it doesn't matter now. I'm glad that you listened to his idea. I'm going to farm Betelgeuse's Coin now. See you later..."

Ivonna stands up.

"Wait. Can I join?"

Francesca stops and turns around. She smiles and nods.

"Let's go."

I get out from my pod and I look at William's pod but he's not there. I go upstairs to the living room and I see him eating instant ramen while watching TV. He turns around and smiles. I sigh and shake my head. I go to the kitchen and grab vegetables from the fridge. I cook a simple stir-fry salad and put meat on it. I put the salad on a plate and bring it with me to the living room. I put it in front of him and he looks at me with confusion. I sit beside him and pointing at the salad.

"Eat that. Even if you eat instant ramen, you still need something healthy as a side dish. You live in my house, you must follow my rules."

William is touched by what I did and he looks at me with respect.

"Thank you very much! I will empty the plate!"

William immediately grabs the salad and chows it down. I scoff and shake my head.

"Slow down. Nobody is going to take your food."

William nods but he still chowing the salad. After he's done, he's washing the dishes and I'm watching the TV. William turns around.

"Trevor, do you mind listening to my favor?"

I look up and looking at William upside down.

"Sure. What's up?"

William is scratching his head.

"So, my friend in college is also playing LotB. His clan registered for the skirmish event, but two of the members from his clan left to another clan, and because of that, they don't meet the requirement since they need at least 50 players to be able to participate in the skirmish event. They found 1 player and they still need 1 more."

I raise my eyebrows.

"And? You want me to join his clan so they can participate in the skirmish event?"

William is chuckling nervously.

"Yeah. They really don't care about winning, they just want to experience the skirmish game."

I'm thinking about it while staring at the ceiling. If it's just to experience the skirmish event, I guess it's fine. William is looking at me and waiting for my answer. I shrug and look at the TV.

"Yeah, sure. Give me the details of everything. Oh, and tell them that I will only be helping them until they found a replacement for me. Until then, I will help them in the skirmish game."

William is smiling happily and then sits beside me while messaging his friend and telling them that he found a player that will join their clan for the skirmish game. Then his friend replies and William is showing his phone to me. The clan name is Horizon from the Eluna Empire's faction and their opponent for tomorrow is a small clan as well. It's in the morning, 9 A.M. to be exact, and then if we won the first game, we got an hour to prepare for the second match and then the third and last match for that day. Turns out, all the clans that are participating in the skirmish event will begin their first matches at 9 A.M.

William shows me his opponent for tomorrow, and he says that his opponent is quite hard. Not because the enemy has more players, but it's because the level average of the enemy's clan is above 178 while his clan average level is 166. He's not worried about it at all because he already made a plan on how to win the match even though the admins haven't announced what kind of skirmish game yet. Even I don't know about the details of the skirmish game since I only proposed it to them.

Emma came from the basement and she's done playing for today as well. We enjoyed the evening in the living room watching a movie together until the night come and then we went to bed.

I woke up early in the morning. I looked at the time and it's still 4 A.M., but my body feels refreshed. So I went downstairs and brew a coffee. I watched the news on the TV but nothing is interesting so I went to the basement to play and farm Betelgeuse's Coin since I have a few hours before William is going to introduce me to his friend.

I'm still in the roundtable room and then leave the room. I look around and think that I might need a different weapon for the skirmish event. There's no way I'm going to use my Ezira's Sickle since it will be overpowered against low level players. I walk to Grisell's smithing room. On my way there, I can hear someone is hammering from the smithing room. I open the door and Grisell is making a weapon. Grisell is startled and turns around. She sighs with relief.

"I thought you're a ghost or something..."

I furrow my forehead and chuckle. Grisell then waves at me.

"Perfect timing! Come here. your scythe is almost ready!"

I approach her and she's shaping the blade and honestly, it looks better than what I imagined it would be. Grisell is wiping her sweat on her forehead.

"What do you think? Do you like it?"

I scoff and tilt my head.

"It looks amazing. I love it."

Grisell is grinning and giggling proudly.

"I knew you're going to love it!"

I sit on the side while watching Grisell shaping the blade. After that, she's cooling it down and reheating the blade over and over. Then she polishes the blade carefully. I'm mesmerized by the way she did it. It feels like she did it so passionately and I can see her face is really enjoying this. Finally, she puts the blade inside the handle. She's chuckling mischievously and grabs the scythe and swings it around then stabs it on the ground. I can hear the beautiful ringing sound when she stabs the blade on the ground echoing the whole room.

Shiny black and maroon blades with a black handle that looks like in a fantasy novel with a small blade at the bottom of it. This is not a scythe from the game database, the reason why I know that is because I know almost every weapon in this game, and I know all the scythe and sickle weapons in this game. This is a scythe that she really made on her own. She must have gotten a unique skill called [Creation].

Grisell is pointing the scythe with her open hand.

"Go ahead. The scythe is ready to be held by its master."

I stand up and approach the scythe and then grab it.

[[Unnamed] (Grisell D'Aca's) obtained!]

I look at Grisell and tilt my head. She's grinning while crossing her arms proudly.

"You name it. It's yours, so you should be the one to give its name."

I click the [Unnamed] link on the scythe description. Not just the name that is unnamed, but the description is also blank. Only the stats are shown in the description. I write its name and swing it around. I show it to Grisell.

[Quietus (Grisell D'Aca's): A scythe that will release a soothing voice of death.

Rarity: Unique

Base ATK: 245 (+50)

Bonus Status: All Status+10

Requirements: Level 150]

I'm gripping the scythe with excitement. I scoff and look at Grisell.

"Wow, I just notice that your ART stats and the forging skills you have are quite high, huh? You already at the stage where you give bonus all stat to the equipment you made. Not just that, you also have the [Creation] unique skill that allows you to make unique equipment. Truly amazing."

Grisell nods and then she sits down on a chair.

"Yeah, I finally able to create my own creation without having it become the equipment from the game database. Sadly my passive skills are not high enough to give passive skill on the equipment I made. I need to forge at least 2000 to 3000 more equipment until I can level up all the forging passive skills."

I'm surprised and look at her with disbelief.

"Wait, just 2000 to 3000 left? You're saying you already made at least 28.000 pieces of equipment?!"

Grisell nods innocently. I'm chuckling while shaking my head. Grisell then looks at her inventory.

"Here, for you!"

Grisell is throwing a bunch of equipment at me.

[Trevor's Light Steel and Leather Cuirass (Grisell D'Aca's) obtained!]

[Trevor's Light Steel and Leather Pauldron (Grisell D'Aca's) obtained!]

[Trevor's Light Steel and Leather Vambrace (Grisell D'Aca's) obtained!]

[Trevor's Light Steel and Leather Gauntlet (Grisell D'Aca's) obtained!]

[Trevor's Light Steel and Leather Greaves (Grisell D'Aca's) obtained!]

[Trevor's Light Steel and Leather Sabaton (Grisell D'Aca's) obtained!]

-

Grisell stands up and grinning.

"That full set of armor is yours. I was too lazy to find a name for those. So I just named it after your name. I made it as cool as possible and as light as possible so it won't affect your ASPD and MS."

I put them in my inventory. I smirk.

"Thanks. How much for these? I'll pay for it."

Grisell is humming.

"Just pay me with gold. I don't need real money since I'm low on gold right now. I need to buy a lot of forge equipment since they keep breaking and it cost quite a lot to buy those things."

I take out 25.000 gold from my inventory and it becomes a small bag of gold. I throw it at her and she grabs it. She's shocked and almost tripped because of the chair behind her.

"25.000 gold?! Where did you get these?! The most gold I had was 9.700 and I believe I was the richest player in the game back then. How much gold do you have?!"

I raise my eyebrow and smile.

"I have my own place to farm some expensive drops from monsters. I still have plenty of gold."

Grisell is shaking the bag of gold happily while giggling mischievously and just brushing off my answers. She then clears her throat.

"Do you have any materials that you don't need for me?"

I nod and give all the materials to her. She's thrilled and looking at all of the materials with her glimmering eyes. She puts all of them into her inventory. I grab Thera's Fangs. Poison, and Scathing Silk. Then shows them to Grisell. She looks at me with her mouth and eyes wide open.

"These are the World Boss' drops that Ivonna told me!"

Grisell is looking at me in awe. I smirk and nod.

"Yeah, they are. Can you make me a legendary chained sickle for me with these, Grisell?"
