Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Ivonna, Kingstar, Diamond, Lothair, and Aspen are looking at me. Sev is smiling gently while looking at the five of them, and then she claps her hands.

"I think the five of them already know who that player is. He, who single-handedly saved the Saintess and the lives of millions when the rest are focused on fighting Shazjae. He, who single-handedly fought Shazjae so the rest of them could rest at ease. He, who brought hope to everyone and wanted nothing in return."

[For your bravery and your sacrifice, Betelgeuse will reward you a limited exclusive title that only 100.000 players can receive them]

[Congratulation to the player [Trevor] who has received Exclusive title [Hero] of the People of Orion]

My body ascends from the ground and moves on its own and flies above Ivonna and the others. Ivonna and the others are looking at me with a smile on their faces. Ivonna is clapping her hands happily. Aria then walks to the front of the crowds and she\'s looking at me. Aria bows her head and all the NPCs are surprised to see the Saintes bows to us.

"Heroes. I, the Saintess acknowledge every one of you as our Hero. Betelgeuse has chosen the 6 of you as our saviors. I hope, when Orion is in need of our Heroes, you will come and help us."

[Saintess Aria Skardine has been added into your friendlist. Although Saintess Aria Skardine is in your friendlist, you cannot message her since she is a non-player. You can only know her coordinates and where is she when you wanted to see her.]

[Affinity towards Trevor increased by 30%]

[Aria Skardine (43%)]

All the NPCs are standing up and then bows on their knees.

"All hail the Heroes! May the Betelgeuse bless you all!"

All the players are cheering for us and clapping their hands with excitement, but then a dimensional rift is tearing up the sky above us. We all look up and then a notification appears.

[All the newly chosen Heroes have been summoned by the Betelgeuse]

[Player [Ivonna Ivon], [Kingstar], [Seven Diamond], [Lothair Ermes], [Aspen], and [Trevor] will be entering the rift in 60 seconds]

[May the Betelgeuse bless you all!]

Sev looks up and smiles.

"It seems that the Betelgeuse has finally spoken."

Sev then looks at the six of us.

"Heroes, congratulation!"

Everyone starts to shout and whistling at us and clapping their hands. The six of us are flying toward the rift and we look at them from above. Francesca and the others are waving at us with huge smiles on their faces. Ivonna and I are waving at them while chuckling.

We enter the rift and in an instant, we are in the middle of a forest or it seems like a forest. We are looking at our surroundings and we see a vast land that is covered by trees and mountains. We have no idea where we are, but I have a hunch that this is the place that I have been trying to enter. The Land of Sigrid.

Kingstar looks at us.

"Where are we?"

Ivonna and the others are shaking their heads. Ivonna then looks at me and I just smile and raise my eyebrow. Ivonna slightly smiles and then looks around.

"I don\'t think this place is in Orion."

Lothair shrugs.

"Should we explore this place? There must be somewhere we need to be since we are summoned here."

They all nod in agreement and so we start to move.

We go deeper into the forest and we have no idea how long we have been walking because the UI and all the systems are disabled in this place. We can\'t tell the time, there\'s no map, and the only thing that comes to mind to where we are right now is from checking our friendlist and see where we are, but again, the systems are disabled so we can\'t open our friendlist.

We keep walking and then there\'s a commotion coming from in front of us. They\'re looking at each other and then nod. We follow the commotion and then we see a plain field with a huge and majestic tower that we can only see a fiftieth of this building. I\'m not sure if that\'s a tower or just a colosseum that tall enough that it looks like a tower.

We look around and there\'s nothing around this tower and we also don\'t see anyone around here. We all look up at the tower and the commotion is getting clearer and louder. We all decide to find the entrance and enter the tower when we found the entrance.

Aspen is humming.

"I don\'t think we can find the entrance. Look at how massive this tower is. It will take us at least a day or two to circling around this tower. There must be a way in no matter where we are."

Ivonna then touches the wall and then suddenly the wall is opening. We are surprised and back away. We all look at each other and then Kingstar nods.

"Let\'s head in and see what\'s inside this massive tower."

We all enter the tower and we are immediately mesmerized by the scenery. It\'s a world within a world. A massive tree is at the end of the tower and thousands of people are gathering at a long table that is made of stone. The chairs are also made from stone. They\'re all wearing legendary equipment and a legendary weapon on their waists, backs, or in their hands. Kingstar is surprised to see someone with the same sword as his and another person with the same weapon as Queenstar. Some are even playing a harp, sitar, and flute. These people are the owners of all the legendary equipment in Orion. They were the Heroes of Orion chosen by Betelgeuse before us.

They all then look at us with smiles on their faces. They all raising a cup made from solid gold and pointing at us.

"Welcome! Heroes!"

We are overwhelmed by their shouts and saying the same thing. I look up and there\'s a ceiling that separates this place from another. I believe there are hundreds of different worlds, places, or rooms inside this tower. I wonder how did Becker manage to build this and how could he thought something like this. That kid has a beautiful mind.

A woman wearing a hat that looks like a witch hat approaching us. She\'s holding a staff and then hit the ground with it. A portal appears and she\'s pointing her arm at it.

"They are waiting for you on the other side. Please enter, Heroes."

We are entering the portal and then we are at the other side of the tower. We look back and they are all raising their cups with smiles on their faces. I don\'t even know how long that table is because we didn\'t see the end of it back then. When we look at the front there are 3 men and 3 women sitting on the thrones that are made from stone.

Ivonna and I have a hunch that these people are the 6 legendary heroes, but what confuses me is that Ezira is not with them. I look at their armor and weapon on them.

On the far left, a white-haired and bright yellow eyes woman wearing a silver tiara with sapphire in the middle. She\'s Obrellian because I can tell by the shiny silver bow that has wings on the upper limb and lower limb of the bow. Those wings are not just a decoration, but they can expand and actually can help her fly around freely.

Beside her, a gold-haired and dark blue eyes woman wearing a golden circlet and a veil that covers her face. She\'s Eveth, the first Saintess, and she\'s supposed to possess Miriam\'s body during the invasion. A golden staff on her lap with a crown on top of the staff.

Beside Eveth, a light green-haired woman with yellow eyes wearing a golden halo crown. She\'s Loslathan, the heroine who sealed Khafir with her double-edged dual swords. People of Orion believe that she\'s the second strongest of all the legendary heroes.

Next to Loslatahan, a light blue-haired guy with silver eyes wearing a headdress that looks like a goat horn. He\'s Aldran by the look of his massive broadsword that as tall as him. Compared to Kingstar who\'s taller than all of us, he looks tiny if he\'s standing in front of Aldran.

Next to Aldra, a dark red-haired guy with black eyes wearing a circlet that looks like a wave of flame. He\'s Vezolan, he\'s wearing the same gauntlet as what I\'m wearing right now with a giant axe on his back that looks intimidating.

Last is Artas, a white-haired guy with green eyes wearing a hood and a mask. He\'s the most mysterious one compared to the others, and his worshippers are mostly assassins, murderers, and bandits. Even Jariel and the headless clan are worshipping him. His 12 daggers are the worst in a good way compared to the others heroes that are sitting in front of us.

Aldran slams his hands on the handrest and makes a crack on it.

"Welcome, Heroes! Let us have some fun!"
