BXBX NOVEL 230 Chapter 230
Sam leaves the room, leaving Kingston, Rebecca, Nina, Evan, Sabrina, and me. The whole conversation was a lot to take in, and I was still in the process of digesting it. However, it made me want to grow HavenFall even more than before. If the world is eventually going to merge then I want HavenFall to be the place where people want to gather. This means that I need to expand HavenFall further and create more space for future residents.
"What is everyone going to do now?" - Nina
"How about we update everyone on what we are currently doing and what we plan to do? That way we can at least try to match each other\'s schedules." - Sabrina
"Well, I just got to HavenFall with Rebecca. The place is so bomb, you guys need to visit. Don\'t worry it\'s only in the center of the continent no big deal." - Evan
"Right, amazing. Next." - Sabrina
"I\'m traveling with Ian, to go rescue Kingston." - Rebecca
"We are currently at the Krepost, and we will leave soon. I\'m not even sure if I can pass through the portal to the Glemt, yet. However, I have Luna, Kaede, Gewari, and Howard with me just in case." - Ian
"The system told me you are the owner of the portal and that you can activate it whenever you want. Right now, I\'m just sitting and waiting for something to happen. After Belial, decimated everything and Gibing and the others became cocoons, I haven\'t really done anything. Kinda just sat with my thoughts and Belial talking to me." - Kingston
"We will be there soon, don\'t worry." - Ian
"Nina, how about you?" - Sabrina
"Umm… I\'ve been following Sylvia for a while now, and we are currently somewhere in the North. We have been fighting monsters constantly while gathering these things called Holy Essence. Apparently, monsters drop this, but we have only 2 out of the 10 needed for me to complete my trial to become a proper Apostle of Ares. However, Sylvia is currently distracted because we saw a person in the distance that had short golden hair.
After seeing this person\'s silhouette, we have been non-stop chasing after them. Sometimes we lose sight of them and other times we catch a glimpse of a passing figure. I\'m not sure who it is and Sylvia doesn\'t want to say anything nor do I want to ask. She looks torn and disorganized wherever the person shows up." - Nina
"I think I know who that is." - Kingston
"Nina, that person is most likely Luke. Previously he was an NPC that lived in HavenFall and for a while, Sylvia and he interacted with each other a lot. He was kidnapped right in front of Sylvia and right now he is currently somewhere in the North. I can only assume who you saw was Luke and Sylvia is thinking about how to save him. The only problem is that she is too weak to save him." - Ian
"Sylvia weak? That is impossible she was granted more power from Ares and unlocked a greater power. There is no way she is weak." - Nina
"Try versing against a bloodthirsty ogre and a dragon." - Kingston
"Oh… Yeah, never mind. Forget I said anything. We definitely can\'t beat that." - Nina
"What about you Sabrina? We all said something. Time for you to tell us what\'s been happening over at your place." - Evan
"Not much. Just been busy repelling the constant waves of monsters, but I don\'t know how long my NPCs will last at this rate. The fights are long and tiring and with the lack of terrain to create any effective defenses, I feel like my village will be destroyed sooner or later." - Sabrina
"Being in a place with only open terrain is harsh against these constant attacks that have no regard to strategy." - Ian
"Why not just run then?" - Rebecca
"I wish I could, but where would I run to? How would I even run? There are only so many horses that we have tamed and even then not all my people are fit enough to fight while on the run. Water and food are also a problem if we leave everything behind. After all the work I have put into my place I can\'t just leave it." - Sabrina
"Maybe you should. I left mine and somehow made it to HavenFall and now, I\'m living great, or at least I will be living great. Right Ian?" - Evan
"About that. I have some thoughts I want to discuss with you on the direction I want HavenFall to go." - Ian
"God dammit, you want me to work? I just want to talk to Solar and be on my way. She is amazing by the way. Let me tell you. She is HOT! ELEGANT! EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND NEED! PLUS! She is a healer. HOT PRIEST HEALING FROM THE BACKLINES!!! WHAT MORE DO WE NEED?" - Evan
"SHUT UP EVAN! I don\'t need to hear about your disgusting fantasies right now. Can\'t you go 1 day without thinking about these things?" - Sabrina
"Aye, you are just jealous. Don\'t worry, my little Sabrina. You are great in your own way. No matter how many hot busty elves or seductive slender elves I see, you are top tier." - Evan
"Nope! I don\'t want to hear it! Just do die in a hole!" - Sabrina
"Sabrina is right. Why are there so many girls in HavenFall, babe?" - Rebecca
"Uhh… I don\'t make up the rules on who can live in HavenFall." - Ian
"Aren\'t there more at the Krepost?" - Kingston
"Like Celine and Stellar? Those two were wonderful to talk with. Evan, Stellar is an elf as well and a different kind of elf." - Nina
"NO WAY! What kind? NO! Don\'t tell me. Night elf? Dark elf? Blood elf? Oh, am I excited to go to the Krepost now." - Evan
"Celine is also great. She is a tamer, and she is very nice." - Kingston
"Oh? Kingston? I see. I see. You might want to have a chat with her. On the other hand, I think we need to talk about Melody. What is she to you babe?" - Rebecca
"A friend. I think." - Ian
"You think? YOU THINK! You have an amazing girlfriend right now and YOU THINK about this other girl?" - Rebecca
"She was in a game. It\'s like having waifus. How was I meant to know she is real?" - Ian
"Don\'t give me that excuse, Mister. What did you want a harem in the game as well?" - Rebecca
"Uh…" - Ian
"Unbelievable. Sabrina, Nina, let\'s go take a walk. I need some air." - Rebecca
"Agreed. Men, disgusting." - Sabrina
"Wait for me." - Nina
Watching the three girls walk away linking arms, I turn back to the other two. Evan was laughing silently while Kingston was trying to hold his laughter in, coughing and smiling. Letting out a sigh, I signal the three to come to the kitchen with me as we grab a couple of drinks together.
After some time, Adam finds the three of us and asks us to follow him. Leading us to another room, we walk through seeing Sam sitting at a small round wooden table. 5 dark wooden chairs were in place with a bright red cushion on the seat.
"Hey, everyone. Please sit. I want to tell you about my plans." - Sam
I look at the other two, who just shrugged their shoulders. Sitting down at the table, Sam lets out a deep breath. Clasping his hands together, Sam speaks in a low voice.
"I know I have been unfaithful to everyone here and I can only ask for your forgiveness. I was selfish in hiding such important information from everyone and I would like to tell you one more thing that I have hidden." - Sam
"I understand why you hid things and I have nothing against you for it. Everyone has their secrets, and it wasn\'t like we asked you about it, and you had to lie." - Ian
"What Ian said." - Evan
"Don\'t worry about it. Now, what is it that you need to tell us." - Kingston
"Not only is the information about Settlement being another world to us something that has been hidden from the public, but there has been an appearance of someone from that world coming to ours. Specifically, a personal meeting with my father. Only he and I know about this incident, and it is also the reason I play Settlement." - Sam
"Someone from Settlement has come to Earth?" - Ian
"Yo, that\'s insane… Was it an elf?" - Evan
"Elf? What if it was a dragon? Or a King?" - Kingston
"Right. Her name is Amelia Watson, a time traveler. However, due to a fault in her power, she not only traveled in time but in space as well. Transporting through her world in Settlement to our world, she was able to give my father a small hint about the collision of our worlds before traveling back to her time." - Sam
"WAIT! Wait, wait. So this person your father met was a time traveler and an alternate universe traveler. This is complete bullshit isn\'t it?" - Evan
"Evan, there have been more unbelievable things right?" - Adam
"I don\'t know man. This is crazy." - Evan
\'Keep going, Sam. There must be more right?" - Ian
"Just a bit more. Amelia, came into our world not too long before Settlement started and appeared in my father\'s study room. Her appearance sent alarms throughout the house, and I was luckily in the next room. I immediately burst through the door to see a blonde bob-cut teenager with a checkered brown beret in a cream coat walking flipping out a pocket watch.
Turning her head slightly, she gives me a slight smile before the light coming from the watch starts to envelop her body, disappearing along with the light.
After she disappears I confront my father, who tells me about another world as well as Lotus already creating a bridge between the two worlds in the form of a game. Amelia tells my father that one day both our worlds will be connected and once that happens there will be war between both worlds. Apparently, I have some sort of impact on that event which is why she came to my father. That\'s all I know." - Sam
"I see… Sam has a crush on a time-traveling wizard. Done, guys we are done here." - Evan
"Evan… I now see why Sabrina shouts at you 24/7." - Kingston
"If she came from Settlement, then there is a chance we will see her again while playing the game, especially since you said the Amelia your dad interacted with is from the future." - Ian
"My thoughts exactly. Ian, you have also interacted with a legendary being. I think Amelia is another kind of legendary being and as for meeting her, we can only leave that to fate." - Sam
"Then let\'s do it. A war is coming and there is only one way for us to win. We need to be stronger than whoever or whatever our enemies are and beat them down before they beat us." - Evan
"Belial and the other demons might be a possible solution. I\'ll do my best to control him as well as search for the other demons and if anything goes wrong, Ian you got me right?" - Kingston
"I got you, so long as you are near me. I\'ll make HavenFall a place where we can go to rest while also preparing for any fights. The NPCs that stay there will be the best of the best and it will only be a matter of time before the rest of you join me. The first step is the surroundings, then the whole territory, after that the continent, and finally the world. No matter who stands in our way, we will defeat them." - Ian
"Well said! I\'ll create a stronghold in the North East, in preparation for you and your army. Adam! I suggest you move toward Ian. You are a traveler who has high Agility so I\'m sure you will make it there in a couple of days to a week." - Sam
"I can try, sir. I don\'t even know how far away I am from the center of the continent but I\'m somewhere in the North. I\'ll make my way South and report to you once I get there, sir." - Adam
"Ian, time for that talk you wanted with me. No need to be shy since we are all going to be part of HavenFall eventually. HavenFall will be the capital of RavenStar from this point on!" - Evan
