Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 24 - Episode 24: I Got What I Wanted.



[Hacal\'s request (Completed)]

[Hacal is waiting for you in town. Meet him at the bar.]

Kingstar is kneeling while looking at us with disbelief.

"No... it\'s not possible..."

Ivonna walks towards Kingstar and stares at him with a blank expression then smirks mockingly. Ivonna\'s friends are standing next to her and enjoying the view. Emma and I are standing in front of Queen Arachne\'s dead body.

I chuckle because this is the first time I hear about this title. I guess Becker really added a lot of new things. I look at the sky and thank him for this. I turn around to see Ivonna.

"What are you going to do? You have lost. It doesn\'t matter how many players you recruited, huh? In the end, you can do nothing with that equipment you\'re so proud of."

Francesca is mocking Kingstar with enjoyment. Kingstar is gritting his teeth and clenches his fists. Ivonna grabs Francesca\'s shoulder and shakes her head.

"You all just lucky! I will remember this day!"

Kingstar walks away and leaves.

Ivonna looks at me and then approaches me. She\'s looking at the corpse of Queen Arachne.

"It\'s yours, Trevor."

I look at Ivonna while raising my eyebrows.

"Huh? Michael is the one who defeated her. It should be his."

The others are approaching me. Michael is waving his hand with disagreeing.

"Nah, she\'s yours. Without you, we wouldn\'t be able to defeat her."

They all nod with an agreement. Francesca is patting my shoulder.

"Hurry up and grab the loot! We want to see what are the drops."

I chuckle and then walk on top of Queen Arachne.

[Thera\'s Leg (8) obtained!]

[Thera\'s Fang (4) obtained!]

[Thera\'s Poison obtained!]

[Thera\'s Heart obtained!]

[Thera\'s Scathing Silk obtained!]

They\'re looking at me with confusion. Michael shakes his head in disbelief.

"That\'s it? All that hard work is just for those?"

I jump down and shrug.

"Yeah. These are what I\'m looking for anyway. I mean, I was planning to get these later someday. I couldn\'t ask for more."

Ivonna is crossing her arms.

"Would you like to enlighten us about those items?"

I shrug.

"Yeah, sure."

I show them the Scythe Legs.

"These are the ingredients for making a legendary scythe weapon. It can only make one Scythe with this much."

Francesca is nodding.

"Legendary weapon, huh... The first legendary weapon was sold for over two million dollars. It wasn\'t even that good, to be honest."

Emma is choked from her ale.

"Holy sh*it! Two million dollars?!"

They\'re laughing at Emma\'s reaction. Then Leonardo is pointing at the fangs.

"And what are those for?"

I show them the fangs and the poison inside a bottle.

"The fangs can be used for making dagger, sickle, and spearhead. Can only make one of those weapons. This poison can add the deadliest poison attribute in those weapons."

I show them the silk.

"This silk can be used for making garments. This silk durability is one of a kind, so anything that is made using this silk will be very very strong. But I\'m not going to use this for that. I have another use of this silk that\'s more important than using it to make garments."

Ivonna is humming with understanding.

"So, what\'s the heart for?"

I grab the heart and throw it at Ivonna. She catches it and is surprised.

"For me?"

I nod.

"Yeah, read the description. It\'s more useful for you than any of us here."

Ivonna is looking at the heart and reads the description out loud.

[Thera\'s Heart: The heart of Arachnid\'s Queen that has lived for centuries. It is said the tissues of her heart can be used to make a Godly Item. Only the bravest and the strongest can make it happen.]

A screen appears in front of Ivonna that we all can see.

[Player [Ivonna Ivon] has been chosen by Betelgeuse. She received [Thera\'s Heart] and met the requirements for Godly Item [Heugron\'s Necklace] quest. This offer is exclusively for [Ivonna Ivon]. Do you accept? Y/N]

Everyone\'s mouth is wide open. I chuckle and look at Ivonna. She\'s shocked and still can\'t believe what she\'s seeing. She looks at me and I nod. She then accepted the offer.

[Heugron\'s Tale. [Ivonna Ivon]]

[Heugron, the first and the last of his kind. His origin is still unknown. There are only tales and stories about him. Some say there is a book about his life. Find it and read it.]

[Objective: Find Heugron\'s diary book.]

[Reward: Heugron\'s Soul Essence.]

Ivonna is looking at me.

"Is this for real?"

I nod and smile.

"Yeah, I think that\'s perfect for you as a tanker. For where and how to do that quest, I believe you would prefer to find it on your own, right?"

Ivonna chuckles and nods.

"Yeah, I guess so."

Leonardo is smacking Michael\'s back.

"Hey, you\'re the MVP. You got a box called Betelgeuse\'s Legacy Box. What is that? It sounds fancy."

Michael is looking at his inventory. Then he jumps happily.

"Holy sh*t!"

Everyone is curious and Michael types something on the chat.

"Okay, I linked the item in the party\'s chat!"

[Betelgeuse\'s Legacy Box I: Betelgeuse left thousands of his legacies in Orion. His legacy can be given to those who are worthy. [Betelgeuse\'s Legacy Box I] will give one random legendary rank 50 equipment. Tradeable and Marketable, but cannot be sold to NPC.]

A white and gold fancy box that looks like a small vintage treasure box. Everyone\'s mouth is wide open and looks at Michael. Hans smacks Michael\'s back.

"You lucky bastard! If you put this in the auction, I bet people would willing to spend more than millions of dollars for this!"

They\'re talking about the box with excitement. I look around and put my equipment back into my inventory.

"I guess it\'s time for us to bail from this place. I don\'t want to be part of the attention. You can have the drops from the mini-bosses. Right, Emma?"

Emma looks at me with a bit of disappointment written on her face but she nods. Ivonna looks at me and a screen appears in front of me.

[Ivonna Ivon has requested you to be her friend. Accept?]

[Accept]

Ivonna smiles.

"We are very fortunate to be helped by you and Emma. If there\'s something you need from us, don\'t be reluctant to contact us. We will immediately come to you."

Francesca, Hans, Michael, and Leonardo nod with an agreement. Then they all add me as their friend. Ivonna approaches us and lifts her hand for a handshake. I grab her hand. She smiles.

"I hope we will meet again soon. There\'s a friend of ours that is interested in crafting. She would be very happy to meet you both. We will see you guys later and introduce her to you."

Francesca gives me a handshake as well.

"Why don\'t you both join our clan? We would be happy if you joined our clan."

Emma is excited and nods.

"Can I? I would love to!"

Francesca smiled happily. Francesca invited Emma to the clan and she joined Ivonna\'s clan. Then she looked at me.

"What about you, Trevor?"

I shake my head.

"I still want to do things on my own. Maybe later."

Francesca smiles with a bit of disappointment written on her face.

"Is that so? Well, then. I\'m not insisting you to join our clan. You can join our clan whenever you want. Very well then, I\'ll see you guys later."

Emma and I nodded and then we left.

Emma is stretching her arms.

"I\'m spent... we have done something unbelievable, aren\'t we? That was the first time for me doing something like that. I never thought about myself in this kind of situation. I mean, playing games and spent hours every day. But I\'m so happy right now. I have achieved a lot of things and it\'s all because of you."

I smirk and shrug.

"Well, I\'m glad you\'re enjoying the game."

I look at the time and it\'s 7 a.m. in real-time.

"We spent almost 20 hours in-game. We should log out and rest. I\'m already imagining what kind of headache I\'ll be having."

Emma sighs.

"Right... let\'s log out for now."

I nodded and we logged out from the game.
