Legacy of the Betelgeuse

I'm chilling in my room while watching TV and reading the forum on my phone. Everyone is currently inside the game to check on the new updates. One of the updates is specifically for the Heroes and we must register our own altar on the official website so our altars will appear in the game. There are so many places where our altars will be built, mostly the capital cities, big cities, and Sarkh Village so the old and new players can devote themselves to one of the Heroes to get the Pursuivant skill. For me, I haven't registered my own altar yet because I will let the others have a higher chance to get as many Pursuivant as they can.

Another update is for a new gaming experience. From a new User Interface (UI) to make the players easier to access everything, including adding a Skill Tree that allows players to see the requirement to receive the skills they want, also a guide where the system keeping the players up-to-date with the current progress like the Companion system, Heroes system, Pursuivant, and Apostle system, and now, Orion has been expanded and the scale is now bigger than earth. The players are allowed to explore the seas and discover a new island. It's written that there are no NPCs on those new islands, so what's on the islands is only new types of monsters and materials. Of course, discovering the island alone will give the players the same reward as killing mini-bosses which are EXP, Fame, and Status Points. The Orion map is now adding new places from the teleportation device. Places that the players haven't discovered yet, including Loslan Village. Everyone now can explore further from that point and can discover so many new places.

This week, the game is having a celebration event for succeeding in preventing the invasion. All the players receive triple EXP, tripe drop rate, and double status. Not just that, the NPCs including the rulers of the Alliance Kingdoms are giving rewards to all the players who were participating in the invasion. The players need to receive it before the event ends or the rewards can no longer be received.

These new updates are called the Second Gen of Legacy of the Betelgeuse which is to tell the players from which generation they are. All the players that are playing before the invasion are called the First Gen players, and the players that start playing the game after the invasion is called the Second Gen players. Later when another big update is happening, it will be the Third Gen of Legacy of the Betelgeuse. We all will receive an exclusive title "First Gen" when we log in to the game. There's no effect other than All Stat+1, the purpose of this title is to tell the new players that they were all there before the first invasion happened.

Lastly, all the Alliance Kingdoms' cities that were destroyed or damaged from the invasion are now have been rebuilt. It changed its structure, so it will look so different compared to the original map. All the players need to revisit those cities to memorize the new cities. Those NPCs that were killed in the invasion have been removed from the game, so there are so many buildings that now belong to different NPCs.

It's late and I'm already tired from today's activity. I go to bed and plan to play the game tomorrow morning.

When I was asleep, I was awoken by their laughter and noise, but I kept my eyes close because I was too tired to even open my eyes and check on them. I felt someone is crawling onto my bed beside me, but I didn't know who that is and I didn't bother to check. Now that the sun is hitting my eyes, I open my eyes and look on the other side of the bed. Turns out it's Emma, and she's still asleep and covered his whole body with a blanket. I can tell by the color of the hair that it's her. I look at the time and it's 8 A.M. I quietly and carefully leave my room then go downstairs to eat breakfast.

Ernes is watching the maids and servants cleaning the mansion. I approach them.

"Good morning, guys."

They stop cleaning the mansion and look at me. They all bow.

"Good morning, Master Trevor."

I still can't get used to being treated like the master of this mansion no matter how hard I have been prepared for their responses every time I talk to them. Ernes is walking towards me and smiles.

"Do you want me to prepare breakfast for you, Master Trevor?"

I nod.

"Yes, please. Thanks, Ernes."

Ernes smiles and bows, then he leaves to tell the chef to prepare my breakfast. I watch the maids and servants cleaning the house. It makes them feel nervous to see me watching them, so I leave them be and go to the living room to watch TV, but I'm surprised to see Ivonna and Chelsea in the living room while eating chips. They both look at me and wave at me.

Ivonna is watching me walk toward them.

"Morning, Trev."

I nod and sit on the couch.

"Morning. How was the game after the big updates?"

Chelsea snorts while looking at Ivonna's phone. Ivonna sighs and then grabs her phone and then shows it to me.

"Ever since I registered my altar. I'm getting flooded by notifications that players have devoted themselves to be my Pursuivants. I turned off my phone last night because I wasn't able to sleep because of these notifications. This morning I thought the notifications should have calmed down, but no, there are still so many players who devoted themselves to me. I thought that I would only receive hundreds of them, but I never thought that I would receive more than a million in a single night, and it's still counting. I'm very grateful, but this is too much."

I'm chuckling and look at Ivonna's tired expression from these notifications on her phone which is coming from the app that she had to download after registering her altar into the game. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to register my altar in the game yet so the rest of them receive all the attention of the players.

"So what about Kingstar and the others? I bet Kingstar received a lot more compared to the others."

Ivonna is humming in agreement.

"I don't know about Aspen, Diamond, and Lothair, but I know that Kingstar already has over 30 million Pursuivants. I can't imagine how annoying he is right now from receiving all the notifications on his phone."

(In the Supremacist Clan Headquarters.)

Kingstar is looking at his phone with Queenstar sitting next to him. Kingstar is about to crush his phone.

"God f*cking damn it! My phone is frozen because of these damn notifications on this app! I can't contact the sponsors if I can't even use my phone! Make it stop!"

Queenstar is busy using her phone since Kingstar's phone is pretty much dying from the notifications. She's replying to all the messages from the sponsors and the investors.

(Back to the mansion's living room.)

I chuckle.

"I bet he's enjoying it very much right now."

I'm humming with understanding and start counting.

"So since he has more than 30 million Pursuivants, his status should be increased by 30% now. That's quite a lot. Did he already choose Apostles?"

Ivonna nods.

"Yeah, he chose Queenstar. I think she's currently the only Apostle under Kingstar. Aspen chose Jake and Jacob as his Apostles while Diamond and Lothair haven't chosen one yet because they both are looking for the perfect candidates."

I'm humming with understanding and then nod up.

"How about you?"

Ivonna is pointing her finger upstairs.

"Everyone except Emma, William, and Chelsea. They didn't want to be my Apostles."

I raise my eyebrow and tilt my head. I look at Chelsea.

"Why?"

Chelsea smiles and pointing at me.

"I want to be yours, and Emma as well."

I'm looking at her and shrug.

"Oh? Then I'll log in as soon as I'm done eating my breakfast."

Chelsea nods and smiles.

Ernes then comes to the living room.

"Master Trevor, your breakfast is ready."

I nod and then leave to eat my breakfast.

I'm on my way back to my room and I see Emma is already awake and sitting on the bed half-awake. I let her be and then go to the gaming room. I see Chelsea and Ivonna are already inside the game, and so I log in to the game to check the updates and also to choose Chelsea as my Apostle.

I open my eyes and I'm confused to see myself surrounded by buildings that I don't recognize, but then I realize that I was in the middle of the capital city of Cruzm Kingdom and so I look around to find the teleportation device. This city is totally different from back then and it really amazes me how fast they can rebuild the city in just 3 months of in-game time.

I teleport to Fjel town and go to our house. Chelsea is waiting for me in front of the house and as soon as she sees me, she runs toward me while waving her hands. I immediately check my new skill and then look at Chelsea. A notification appears.

[Do you really want to choose player [Chelsea Adilene LeBlanc] as your Apostle? The player will receive 10% of your base status immediately when the player becomes your Apostle]

[Are you sure?]

[Yes] [No]

...

[Yes]

I look at Chelsea and she immediately grinning and giggling happily. A notification appears in front of me.

[Congratulations! Player [Chelsea Adilene LeBlanc] has accepted your request and is now officially your Apostle!]

[Your base status has increased by 2.5%!]
