Legacy of the Betelgeuse

I farmed a whole day and got quite a lot of Betelgeuse's Coin. Today is the day for our second match and it will begin in less than an hour. I went to Horizon Clan base and everyone gathered in the hall again. I noticed Oscar's expression isn't looking good, then I looked at the others and they made the same expression. I approached them and they all surprised when they looked at me.

I tilt my head while looking at them.

"What's wrong?"

Oscar is sighing.

"We did some research of our opponent, and it surprised us that they're actually top 50 clans in the Eluna Empire's faction. So yeah, we are against a clan with more than 2000 players with the clan's average level is 194. I think this is it for us..."

I'm humming with understanding. I sigh and look at all of them.

"Are you planning to forfeit?"

Everyone nods and Oscar is raising his eyebrows with disappointment. I chuckle and everyone is surprised.

"It's your decision. But, how about we try our best first? We have nothing to lose anyway, right? I know you all think that what's the point of trying even the outcome won't change no matter how hard you tried. Well, there is. We can have fun and try how far you can go against a top 50 clan. Don't think about winning, but at the same time, don't let them win so easily. Let's make them struggle to achieve it."

Everyone is looking at each other and nods. Oscar is smiling at nods with excitement.

"You're right. We can do our best and we have nothing to lose."

Oscar turns around and his expression is brightened.

"He's right, guys. We will not be going to give them an easy win! Let's show them what we are capable of as a small clan!"

I smile and tap the side of my forehead with my index middle finger.

"PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) is important. Don't let anything bother you and just enjoy the game."

Everyone nods and cheers for themselves. It makes me happy to see them like this. I then grab my scythe and rest it on my shoulder. Everyone is looking at me and I smirk while looking at Oscar.

"Since I'm here to help. How about you give me the pleasure to handle them on my own first?"

Everyone's mouths are wide open and they're looking at with surprise and happiness at the same time. They're clapping their hands with excitement and nod aggressively. Oscar is nodding with a big smile on his face.

"Yes! We want to see you in action!"

I smile and nod.

"Thanks. Then you can discuss the strategy while we are waiting."

Everyone is discussing the strategy while I'm looking at the clan that will be our next opponent on the website. Since I haven't seen it and I thought it would be another small clan, but turns out they're one of the top 100 clans.

Black Shadow Clan, rank 43 in the Eluna Empire's clan leaderboard. The clan leader's name is Kokushoku Ken and his level is 218. They're a clan from Japan and all his members are all Japanese. This is the first clan I see that comes from Asia even though I heard there are a lot of big clans from Asia. I check his profile and turns out he's a famous player from Japan because he's a young kenjustu athlete that won a gold medal. I check one of his gameplay videos in Utube and he's using a Nodachi sword and a Katana. He's surprisingly good and it will be a big problem.

I leave the base and tell them that I need to prepare something for myself. They all nod and continue discussing. I'm going to need the buffs' items from the exchange event, so I'm on my way to the center of the city. Then I'm standing in front of the exchange event NPC. He smiles and welcomes me. I look at the [Celebration Food (U)] and [Celebration Drink (U)].

[Celebration Food (U): 8 legendary foods that were famous foods around Orion that have been forgotten because of the very rare ingredients that are almost impossible to find. When you open this food, you will get one random legendary food. Each one of the food doubles one status value for 30 minutes and can be stack with a different type of food. Cannot be stack with the same type of food. Cannot be traded/sold/market/dropped.]

-

[Celebration Drink (U): 14 legendary drinks that were famous drinks around Orion that have been forgotten because of the very rare ingredients that are almost impossible to find. When you open this drink, you will get one random legendary drink. Each one of the drinks doubles one sub-status value for 30 minutes and can be stack with a different type of drink. Cannot be stack with the same type of drink. Cannot be traded/sold/market/dropped.]

-

I'm humming with understanding.

So the food buff is doubling my main status, while the drink buff is doubling my sub-status. I have 4.729 Betelgeuse's Coin, if I want to get 1 LUK food buff, I need to spend 400 Betelgeuse's Coin. But this food buff is going to be useful in the future, and not just the food buff, but also the drink buff. If I can get 1 drink buff that increases my LCKY stat, that would be perfect.

"F*ck it... I'm going to spend all my Betelgeuse's Coin."

[Celebration Food (U) x50 obtained!]

[Celebration Drink (U) x70 obtained!]

I open all of them immediately.

"Heh, this is not that bad. I can keep them when I need it later."

A notification appears in front of me.

[Horizon Clan vs. Black Shadow Clan is about to begin. All the players will be teleported to the battlefield in 10 seconds]

We teleport to the arena and same as before, dozens of players are appearing at the edge of the cliffs. I look at the distance and it's nerve-wracking. Thousands of players appearing on the battlefield with their good-looking armors and weapons. I turn around and Oscar with his members are gulping nervously while looking at their opponent.

They all looking at me with worries. I smile and chuckle.

"Remember, we are here to have some fun."

They all looking at me and the opponent back and forth. Oscar clears his throat.

"Alright, guys. This is it. Let's protect the crystal while Mister Trevor does his own thing."

They all nod nervously and walk toward the crystal. I walk to the center of the battlefield and stab the scythe at the ground. A very long black-haired guy with brown eyes is approaching me. He's putting a Nodachi sword behind his waist and two katanas on his left waist. This guy is Kokushoku Ken, the leader of the Black Shadow Clan. Then 9 other players are walking toward him and stand behind him. Kokushoku Ken bows and the other 9 players are also bowing at us. I bow back at them. I'm touched because they're showing respect to their enemy first.

Ken smiles.

"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu."

A screen translator appears in front of me.

[Nice to meet you]

I smile and nod.

"Kochira Koso Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu."

They're surprised and smile at me and nod. Well, there are plenty of words that I know since I was learning any simple conversation in every language to work as a driver for important people and there's a chance that I will drive important people from around the world. Then they all return to the back.

I look back and everyone is readying their stances while staring at me. I smirk and raise my eyebrow while tilting my head. Oscar and the other are nodding.

Dennis is gulping and clears his throat.

"Oscar, do you think he can handle thousands of players on his own?"

Oscar shakes his head.

"There's no way he can handle all of them. If there's a dozen of them instead of thousands, I think he could. But this, it's impossible. Not just for him, but for any top 10 players as well."

Dennis is tilting his head.

"I don't know... Azrael defeated hundred of thousands of players on his own. He also defeated all top 10 players back then."

Oscar scoffs and shakes his head.

"Well, Mister Trevor is not Azrael."

They both are looking at Trevor. Trevor grabs something from his inventory and he drinks a potion bottle that they have never seen before, then he drinks [Celebration Drink] that double one status value by choice for 30 minutes and he eats [Celebration Food] that double the damage output for 30 minutes.

Oscar chuckles.

"I think Mister Trevor is going to go all out for this."

Everyone nods with an agreement. A soothing voice coming from the sky.

"The second match will begin in, 3... 2... 1... May the Betelgeuse bless you!"
