Legacy of the Betelgeuse

"Ivonna Ivon?"

She nods and smiles at me.

"Yeah, how do you know?"

Emma is tilting her head and staring at me. I smile.

"Yeah, I saw your interview a few days ago on the streaming website."

Emma grabs a chair and pats on it.

"Please have a seat, Miss Ivonna."

Ivonna smiles while walking towards the chair.

"Oh, that time. Yeah..."

Ivonna sits beside Emma. Emma is looking at Ivonna.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Ivonna. My name is Ruscheller and he is Trevor. You can call me Emma by the way. So you're a famous streamer?"

Ivonna chuckles and shakes her head.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Emma, and Mister Trevor. Also, I wouldn't call myself famous, but people are watching my stream from time to time."

Emma is humming with understanding. I scoff and chuckle. Well, her reputation as a humble streamer is not false. She always denied it when people called her famous and often helps other players in every game she played. Ivonna is looking at me with questionable smiles on her face.

"So, Miss Ivonna, are you going to join the raid with Supremacist Clan?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"No, I have my own raid team with me. Right now, I'm waiting for them."

Emma nods.

"How many players will join your raid?"

Ivonna lifts her hand.

"Just five people."

Emma and I are surprised and look at her with our eyes wide open. I shake my head.

"Five? Wow, I thought you're going to bring a whole party with you. Are they your streamer friends?"

Ivonna nods.

"Yeah, they are. We will stream the raid for those players who can't join the World Boss event at that moment. I want to provide them with what's going on in the game."

Emma nods with understanding.

"How nice of you. Maybe I will watch your stream from now on when I have free time."

Ivonna nods.

"Thank you. You are welcome to watch my stream, but I apologize in advance if my gameplay isn't your liking. I rarely talk when streaming and I always focus on the game."

Emma shakes her head.

"It's fine, this game is like my reality now. I enjoyed this game that I almost forgot about real life."

Emma and Ivonna immediately getting comfortable talking with each other and start to talk about something else while I'm looking at those players preparing themselves.

Ivonna is looking at me for quite a while. I raise my eyebrows.

"Yes?"

Ivonna stands up and standing in front of us. Emma and I are looking at each other.

"You both are the ones that killed the mini-bosses from that day, right? I wasn't interested when people were going to the place where the mini-bosses were defeated. But then I became curious and went there, I thought I was too late since nobody was there. Then you both came online at the same time. I looked at both of your names and it matches with the names on the VoW, Tr and Rr. I wasn't convinced back then, until just now when I saw Miss Emma's title."

I shake my head while clicking my tongue. Emma is looking at me with her guilty smiles. I look at Ivonna.

"Yeah, I guess we can't hide it anymore. It was us."

Ivonna shakes her head while smiling.

"No, I didn't mean to reveal your secret. I just want to ask you a favor to the first players who killed mini-bosses."

Emma is tilting her head.

"A favor? What is it, Miss Ivonna?"

Ivonna clears her throats.

"Would you like to join our party for the raid? We still have plenty of slots available. Of course, I do not insist on joining our party. It's just a favor."

Emma is looking at me.

"What do you say, leader?"

I scoff and rub her head. I stand up and nod.

"Sure. We are planning to do the same anyway. More people the better, right?"

Ivonna smiles with relief. I disband the party with Emma and then a screen appears in front of us.

[Party Chat]

ML: Aye! Welcome to the party, my dudes!

BN: Welcome guys!

FK: Welcome! Trevor and Ruscheller!

PP: Welcome to da club!

TR: Thanks, guys!

RR: Thank you!

ML: Your friends Ivon?

II: Ah, no. I invited them since they're also planning to attempt to kill Queen Arachne.

BN: Nice! The more the merrier.

FK: Ivon, we just entered NML (No Man's Land). We will be there in 15mins I guess.

PP: Guys, these monsters here are all high levels. We should've leveling up our levels here.

ML: Dude! No sh*t!

The chat goes on and on. Ivonna laughs quietly.

"I'm sorry that you both had to see those conversations."

Emma is chuckling.

"No worries. We would do the same thing."

I nod with an agreement. Ivonna is squinting her eyes.

"Are you both the culprit behind this event as well?"

Emma is laughing nervously. I cover my face with my hand.

"Yeah... well... to be honest, we were just doing quest and then that happened."

Ivonna is chuckling.

"You guys are something."

Emma and I are laughing nervously.

All the players are standing in groups so suddenly. The three of us are watching them. Then Kingstar and Queenstar are standing in front of them. We sit on the chairs and listening to what they're about to say. Kingstar clears his throat.

"We have done the briefing with all the party leaders. Go to your own team leaders to ask for the information we have got about Queen Arachne and her servants. We will depart in 5 minutes. Those who haven't done the preparation, don't drag us down and hurry up. Everyone dismissed!"

Ivonna is resting her head on her hand. She tilts her head towards me.

"Do you have any information about Queen Arachne and her servants, Mister Trevor?"

I nod.

"We do. I also know how to defeat her."

Ivonna is glaring at me with suspicion.

"I have so many questions."

I smile and shrug.

"Sure, ask away."

Emma is drinking her ale while listening to our conversation. Ivonna turns her body towards me and rests both of her arms on the table while slightly leaning towards me.

"You're a new player, correct? I can tell by your equipment."

I nod.

"Yes, that is correct. I started playing a few weeks ago."

Ivonna smirks.

"That's what I thought. But how did you manage to raise your level this fast in just a few weeks? You managed to kill both of the mini-bosses with that equipment, you managed to get here even though a new player can't be here since all the monster levels are above 90 when I'm on my way here. You should have died since all the monsters here are aggressive towards players. I still don't know how you managed to do all that."

Emma is mumbling.

"It's because of his stats..."

Ivonna turns her head and looks at Emma. She tilts her head and Emma immediately covering her mouth.

"His stats?"

I pinch Emma's lips and she's trying so hard to remove my hand from her lips. Ivonna is laughing.

"Are you guys friends IRL (In Real Life)?"

We both are looking at Ivonna with my hand still pinching Emma's lips, and Emma's hands are still grabbing my hand.

"Yeah, we are roommates. She just moved to my place yesterday."

Ivonna is resting her head on her hand while looking at us.

"How nice, I wish I have roommates."

When I'm about to reply. Kingstar and Queenstar are walking in front of us while smirking like they're mocking us. Ivonna is raising her eyebrow and staring at both of them arrogantly.

All the Supremacist raid teams are following them from behind. All of them seems excited and checking their party's teammates' statuses. All of them are high levels with quite nice equipment and weapons on them. Then after the Supremacist raid teams leaving the town, the rest of the players that are not part of them starting to follow them from behind. These players are low levels and their equipment is still the one they bought from NPCs, only their weapons are decent.

Fjel is now empty like it used to be. Only NPCs roaming around the town. Ivonna clears her throat and looks at me.

"So, what do you think?"

I look at her and tilt my head.

"About what?"

Ivonna is cleaning her fingernail.

"About them. Do you think they can kill her with that many players?"

I nod.

'Yeah, definitely. But if they know how to kill her. If they only think that World Boss is the same as any normal monster then they will have a really bad time. I can already imagine what is going to happen to them."

Ivonna raises her eyebrow.

"Are you saying that you know how to kill her?"

I nod.

"I do, and it's pretty complicated. You will need good team coordination and the right timing to target who and why. The mechanical of World Boss in here is far more complicated compared to any MMORPG games. I can guarantee you that."

Ivonna is smiling.

"I see. So it's the right choice for me to invite you to our party then."

I chuckle mischievously.

"Well, I'm just a newbie."
