Chapter 263 - Episode 263: A Declaration.

Michael and the others are back safely and now they're about to get online, we are waiting for them at our house with all the Ophiuchus. We are talking about the preparation for the exploration, all of them are prepared to leave but they all haven't told the community about this since Kingstar told them to not make any statement yet because he's already made an appointment with the OGN (Online Game News) and they all will be invited by Kingstar for the interview, and when that happens, they will make a declaration to leave the three sovereignties for a long exploration. Once they made the declaration, then they can tell the community and tell the rest of the First Gen of the players to work with the Second Gen players to take care of the three sovereignties.

I'm listening to their discussion from the kitchen while eating the food I made, Emma, Chelsea, and William are sitting next to me enjoying their own snacks since the three of us are not a part of their discussion because we are not the influencer in the game. Ivonna is listening to Lothair's words while resting her head on her hand, everyone is so serious about the exploration and what should they do and when to stop the exploration since they all have no idea how big the Orion is and how dangerous the monsters are out there. While they're talking about it, Michael and the others log in to the game one by one and when I see Grisell online, I immediately get up and approach her.

Grisell is lifting her head to look at me.

"What?"

I smile and tilt my head toward her workshop.

"I need your help, I need you to make something for me."

Grisell looks interested and nods.

"Okay, let's go!"

When we both are about to leave the house, Kingstar takes a peek at us and furrows his forehead.

"Where are you going, Trevor?"

Everyone is looking at me and I point my thumb at the workshop outside the house.

"I need to make something with Grisell."

Kingstar shakes his head.

"No, even if you're not the Ophiuchus, we still need your presence here to listen to our discussion. We need your opinions and your voice in this as well, so you can't leave the house yet."

I furrow my forehead with confusion, Lothair sighs and flips his hand while staring at me.

"Trev, what Kingstar said is that you will be the leader of the exploration here and you need to be here to listen to our discussion. We all agreed on this without your consent, we are about to tell you this at the end of the discussion but since you're leaving now, I guess we should tell you this now. We all know that you're the master compared to us in this matter, you have been exploring the Orion and know more than us, so there's no better player to lead us to the exploration other than you."

I look at them and squint my eyes.

"And who's idea is that?"

Everyone is pointing their finger at Ivonna, Ivonna looks away for a second, and then she looks at me and just smiles innocently at me. I scoff and smile while shaking my head with disbelief, I nod with understanding and then walk toward them and sit on the chair handle where Ivonna is sitting. I cross my arms and look at them, I nod up and exhale deeply.

"Alright, go on. I will listen to everything now."

Kingstar nods and then looks at Boschwell.

"Have you prepared what I asked for?"

Boschwell nods.

"Yes, I have prepared all of them, they are ready to join us when the time comes. Here's their work..."

Boschwell takes out a huge scroll and then Kingstar takes it from his hand then opens it. Kingstar looks at it, he nods and hums with understanding.

"Okay, this is great."

We are all looking at him with confusion, then Kingstar puts the scroll on the table and spread it open. We all look at it and it's a blueprint of a city, we are amazed how great the structure is and how neatly they made, and not just that, there are a few empty spots in the city with writing that say monument on it, I guess that's where they're going to create some kind of monument in the city to make it more extravagant.

Boschwell is tilting his head while leaning on the chair.

"That is the work of a dozen of urban planners that I picked just for this case because they mastered medieval's city structure. They're excited to participate and they will join us in the exploration to check the perfect terrain for the city, and once we found the right place that's far enough from here, that's when we are all going to make the city of our own. From there, we can create more than just a city, we can create a kingdom or even an empire if we want to, but it will take at least decades but knowing that in-game time is slower than real life so it won't be a problem and we will be able to make it happen in few months in real-time."

We are all humming with understanding and I never thought they will take this seriously about making a place of our own out there, but now after I see the blueprint I really can't wait for the exploration. Kingstar is putting his hand on his chin while nodding, then he looks at Boschwell and raises his eyebrows.

"How about the castle and palace's blueprints? Are they still working on it?"

Boschwell nods in agreement.

"Yes, they're still working on it. But don't worry, they are good at it and I believe them since I have seen their designs."

Kingstar is nodding.

"Alright, we will leave this matter to you and your team."

Boschwell nods with understanding. Diamond is staring at the blueprint while crossing his legs and wiggling his hanging foot.

"So, from where are we going to start the exploration? We need a meeting point, right? There's no way we all would start our journey from one of the Empires or Kingdoms."

I scoff and look at him.

"Isn't Fjel Town good enough? We are at the south-east side of the discovered map, if you think about it, the most northern area of the Aarus Kingdom is a vast sea, same with Eluna Empire and Alliance Kingdoms, isn't that mean the three sovereignties at the top left corner of the continent right now? Now, where's the Maelstrom of Abyss is at? In the north of Fjel Town. This place could be in the top middle of the continent and if we go down to the south..."

Liu nods and smirks.

"We should be able to see everything."

We are all looking at Liu and I nod in agreement.

"That's right, we should be able in the perfect place to explore the Orion since we can see what's on the east and what's on the west, and it will be perfect if we found the right terrain to build a city since we will be in the center of Orion and the players can go all four directions to explore more in the future."

Everyone is humming and nodding in agreement, Kingstar then looks at the time and he claps his hands.

"Alright, in 2 hours in real-time, I want you guys to be on stand by in front of your computer, phone, or laptop because I will call all of you for the interview with OGN. Let's end the discussion now and let's get prepared."

They all nod with understanding and then one by one everyone is logging out from the game while we are staying in the game except for Ivonna since she's a part of the Ophiuchus, but then Michael and the others are logging out from the game as well since they want to watch the interview, so then we all decide to log out from the game.

The four of us are on our way to the conference room, Sylvester and Andrea are looking at us with curiosity and I tell them that Ivonna is going to have an interview with the OGN, they both are clenching their fists and cheering for Ivonna. We then sit on the conference table while Ivonna is sitting in front of her laptop, while the three of us are sitting on the other side of the table with our phones in our hands while wearing ear pods to watch the interview.

I'm looking at the host is looking at the camera, she's looking at the small paper in her hand.

"And now, we are going to have an interview with Kingstar from the Supremacist Clan of the LotB Online, but there is more to it. We will be interviewing all the big clans from the LoTB Online!"

I see all the Ophiuchus on the screen and one by one they're introducing themselves, and then the Host looks at Kingstar on one of the screens behind her with a smile of curiosity.

"So, Kingstar, what is this all about? This is very rare to see all the big clans from the LoTB Online gather around for an interview."

Kingstar is smiling and nodding.

"We are all here because we want to make a declaration, we are all agreed to go for a long journey to explore the Orion. I will make it short, we are going to leave the three sovereignties and will leave them to the Second Generation players and the rest of the First Generation, we think it's time for them to take over and find their own path of glory. We want to let them pursue their dreams and become the strongest because if we are staying there, there's no way for them to be able to compete with us, so with that we decide to leave and go on an exploration."

Kingstar looks at his camera.

"We the thirteen biggest clans of the LoTB Online will leave the sovereignties to all of you, it's time for you to spread your wings and make your own history in there."

The Host is surprised and looks at the camera.

"Did you guys hear that? Wow, I can't believe what I just heard!"

The Host is looking at the person behind the camera and she's shocked, she continues.

"What?! Millions of people are watching us right now?! I think we are all making a huge history right now! Kingstar, please tell us more about your plan and I believe everyone wants to hear more about it as well."

Kingstar smiles and shakes his head.

"I don't think there's more to say, but we are here to answer all of your questions. There's something that we would like to tell you, we decide to make name for ourselves. We are called the Ophiuchus and we are going to create a place for all of you far from the sovereignties in the future, so we want all of you to become stronger and when you think you all are ready to leave your nest, there's a perch for you before you go on further into the Orion."

Kingstar is pressing his hands together and he continues while smiling.

"The Orion is bigger than we thought, we are going to find what kind of world the Orion is and we will be waiting for you there.. We wish you all the best and may the Betelgeusee bless you all."
