BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 - Episode 50: Krestan Memories.
I made a chain from the materials I have left and attached it to the sickle. I\'m finally can use this sickle. Then I left Forsaken- Clan base since Ivonna or the others were not there, and only their members were resting and lazing in the base. I used the teleportation device and went to the Fjel town then waited until nighttime.
I can see Krestan from the distance. He\'s standing on the cliff like back then. He turns around and sees me. He smiles happily and approaches me.
"Do you have them?"
I nod and show them to him. He immediately grabs them and runs to his house. I follow him from behind.
Krestan grabs the solution he made to reattach his limbs back. He looks at me.
"Help me out. I need you to hold them until they\'re fully attached to my body."
I approach him and hold his right arm.
...
...
...
Krestan\'s right arm is attached to his body. Then I hold his left leg.
...
...
...
Krestan\'s left leg is attached to his body. Then he opens his eye patch and puts his right eye in.
Krestan is slowly walking to the chair in front of him and sits down.
[Krestan\'s Long Lost Limbs (Completed)]
[Krestan is terrific because he finally got his limbs back. Now he can do his plan to take revenge on the three sovereignty.]
[1.000.000 EXP gained!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
Krestan looks at me and smiles.
"What do you want? I can grant you one wish!"
I sit in front of him and raise my eyebrow.
"You can grant me anything?"
Krestan nods confidently. I smirk.
"You swear?"
Krestan nods confidently.
"Yes, I swear on my life and Betelgeuse will be the witness."
I lean on the chair and look at him
"I want you to pass me down your unique skill [Reawakening]."
Krestan\'s smiles disappear and look at me with disbelief. I tilt my head and raise my eyebrows while smirking.
[Reawakening] is the skill that I learned when Becker and I fought him. What the skill does it to make the user be in his top condition in an instant. It fully recovered the user HP and STA. Not just that, it also refreshed all the skills cooldown. Becker was laughing so hard at me when I was cursing at Krestan because of this skill. We fought him for days just because of one skill. Krestan kept using this skill over and over and it pissed me off. Then we finally and luckily managed to kill him before that skill is off cooldown.
"You swore on your life that you will grant me anything."
Krestan is crushing the armchairs and grits his teeth.
"How do you know about my skill?!"
Krestan is grabbing his head with confusion. He looks at me and his eyes are wide open. He\'s pointing his finger at me while trembling.
"You! I met you before! You and your friend... you killed me..."
I raise my eyebrow with confusion. Krestan is holding his head and hair like crazy. He then looks at me.
"What is this... Why I have a memory that I don\'t remember!"
I furrow my forehead. Is he remembering the memories of him from back then? The time when Becker and I killed him? If so, then that means all the NPC that I have encountered from back then should have remembered me. Or is it because he is a sage and has a [Revelation] skill? If so, he should have remembered everything a long time ago.
Suddenly a screen appears in front of me.
[Congratulations! Krestan has passed down his unique skill to you!]
[Congratulations! Unique Active Skill: [Reawakening Lv. Max] has been learned.]
[Reawakening Lv. Max: Player\'s HP and Stamina will be fully recovered. All the skills cooldown except for [Reawakening] will be refreshed and remove all the debuffs status on the player instantly. Consume 0 stamina when used. Cooldown 24 hours (The cooldown will be paused when logged out)]
Krestan is shocked and looks at me while kneeling on the ground.
"No! My skill!"
I stand up and stand in front of him. Krestan looks at me fearfully. He is crawling away from me.
"Don\'t come closer! Stay away from me!"
I look down at him and grab my chained sickles. I swing them around.
"So you remember everything now... I guess I can\'t let you live..."
Krestan shakes his head in fear.
"No! I promise you, I will not make the same mistake again! Spare my life! I beg you!"
I was planning to defeat him and make him lose his will to fight like Diadre and Ardalec. I have prepared everything, I even waited until nighttime just to be safe. But, since he remembered everything, I think he doesn\'t want to make a move towards the three sovereignty anymore. Well, it doesn\'t matter now, because he has no longer have the [Reawakening] skill in this timeline. Even if he tries to bring chaos to the three sovereignty later, it will be much easier to defeat him and I might get another of his unique skill when I defeat him like back then. All I need to do is to be aware of him and keep on him under my watch. I might need Avriel\'s help with that.
I wrap the chained sickles on my arms and squat in front of him.
"Well, do whatever you want. I don\'t care... I just want this skill of yours."
I walk away from him and go toward the door. I look back and smirk. Krestan is still scared of me and looks at me fearfully. Then I leave his house.
I\'m on my way to the bar to meet Avriel. Well, it is if she\'s there already. I have no clue if she\'s back or still hunting his men down in the Alliance Kingdoms.
I enter the bar and the bartender is looking at me. I approach him.
"Avriel is here?"
The bartender shakes his head.
"Not yet. Do you need something from her?"
I nod and sigh.
"Yeah. Well, if she\'s back can you please tell her that I have a favor to ask?"
The bartender nods.
"Sure thing. So, what do you want to drink?"
I lean on the counter.
"Anything refreshing."
The bartender is chuckling and then leaves to prepare the drink for me.
I look at the forum and another hot topic thread piques my interest.
[Tutorial NPC Avriel is missing and has been replaced]
[So I read the guide on the other thread for new players. When I\'m done with the tutorial, I thought that the guide was wrong and mistaken the NPC. But, after I went to the Aarus Empire, I asked the players that were helping me. They were all confused because of what I said about NPC Avriel. They thought I was lying, but I showed them this screenshot.
[Picture]
The tutorial NPC from the Eluna Empire is not Avriel, but Leonia as you can see from the screenshot above. So does anyone knows what happened to NPC Avriel?]
Everyone is confused and asking the same thing until Admin Sev replies to the thread and explained everything related to changing NPCs and their roles. They are surprised by the fact that NPC can be replaced and they are starting to ask other things related to that topic and Admin Sev answers all of their questions.
The bartender is back with my drink. He is yawning and scratching his head.
"It\'s on me, you don\'t have to pay."
I smile.
"Thanks."
A message appears in front of me. It\'s from Emma.
[Trev, where are you right now? I have something to ask.]
[I\'m at the Bar in Fjel town. I\'ll wait for you here.]
[Okay, we are going there now.]
[We?]
Emma didn\'t reply to my message, then a few minutes later she came with William. I waved at them and they both approached me. Emma sat beside me and Willam sat beside her.
I\'m looking at them and raise my eyebrows. Emma clears her throat.
"So, the thing is..."
Emma looks at William then continues.
"Willy wants to move out from the apartment and he\'s already packing his stuff, but he hasn\'t found the apartment he wants. So, is it alright if he stays in your house in the meantime while he\'s looking for an apartment?"
I\'m tilting my head and look at both of them. William then leans forward.
"It wasn\'t my idea, it was Miss Emma\'s idea. If you don\'t want to then it\'s okay. I can find a motel to stay."
I\'m humming with understanding.
"Hmm, sure. We can move the pods to the basement so his pods and ours can fit in there then he can use the spare room for him to sleep. Or, we can just put our own pods in our own rooms. That shouldn\'t be a problem, I guess?"
Emma is smiling then looks at William while nodding. I look at William.
"When are you going to move in?"
William looks at Emma then looks at me.
"Tomorrow, maybe? If it\'s alright?"
I nod.
"Yeah, it won\'t be a problem. Do you want us to help bring your stuff?"
William shakes his head.
"Thank you for the offer, but I don\'t want to bother you both. So I\'m going to bring my own stuff. Miss Emma already gave me the address, so I\'m good."
I nod with understanding.
"Alright."
Emma then taps on my shoulder.
"Oh, another thing. Can we change faction, in this game?"
I tilt my head.
"You want to change faction?"
Emma shakes her head and is pointing at William.
"Not me, but for him. He wants to join the Alliance Kingdom faction. Right, I haven\'t told you yet. Willy is a clan leader, so they all are going to join the Alliance Kingdom\'s faction."
I\'m humming with understanding.
"I see. Yeah, they can. All they have to do is go to one of the guilds in the Alliance Kingdoms and request to join the Alliance Kingdom\'s faction. It will take around 3 days in real-time, or 2 months in-game time."
William nods with understanding.
We talked for an hour then I remembered that I haven\'t given Hacal Miriam\'s diary about Land of Sigrid.
I stand up and about to leave, but William stops me. I tilt my head and he looks at me.
"I heard that you\'re the best player based on Miss Emma, Miss Ivonna, and her friends\' words. So, I would like to have a duel with you. I want to test my skill."
Emma is grinning and nods excitedly. I scoff and smirk.
"Sure, let\'s head out from the town and find a nice place for a duel."
