Chapter 114: Reactions [1]

The next morning, after waking up, still in club Echelon’s building, Benjamin and the others decided to log into the game using the Warstar consoles that were already installed inside the building.

There, they met Noah in-game as they raved about the encounter.

Benjamin trolled. "Too bad you’re stuck in the game, hehe," he laughed. "You have to see the state-of-the-art building".

"There are even flying fairies and floating rooms!"

"Hah," Noah laughed. "I believe you".

"I’m serious!" He said shamelessly.

"I know". Noah laughed again.

"Lies!" Geneveive looked at him contemptuously.

"Come on Vivi, don’t look at me like that". Benjamin chuckled. "I mean, even if I’m not exaggerating, club Echelon’s building has to be the best eSports club building in the country!"

"You’re right about that". Caleb added.

Emboldened by Caleb’s support, Benjamin continued babbling on, telling Noah in detail about the tour that the had around the building and how much he missed due to being stuck in the game.

It was only after his rambling did Noah finally propose his idea to them, and the result of his research, the skill points seeking quest.

They were visibly surprised.

"You really found so many quests to get skill points?" Genevieve asked.

"Of course, I won’t lie to you guys".

Well, that gave them a new goal to focus on.

But before embarking on the skill points seeking quest, there was something important that Benjamin, Caleb, and Genevieve wanted to do first..., relocation.

After spending just 1 night in Club Echelon, they had no intention of staying 1 more night in Benjamin’s shabby apartment.

And so, later in the day, while Aria left London back to Coventry to meet her boyfriend, they also left back to Birmingham City where they got set to relocate.

They were able to get all of the things they needed ready before the next day’s morning. Only after that did they travel back to London.

And with that, Club Echelon got its first 3 inhabitants; Benjamin, Genevieve, and Caleb.

The building was just too big to accommodate just the 3 of them though.

For the building to function properly, a lot of things were needed; cleaners to clean the building on a regular basis, chefs to make food for the pro players, and assistants also for the pro players.

For the specific requirements to make the club hospitable to its players, Nightingale and his crew spoke with Benjamin, Genevieve, and Caleb, knowing exactly what they needed before they started hiring.

While Nightingale hired, populating Club Echelon’s building, in another world, the world of social media, England’s eSports scene erupted due to the announcement of a single news.

[BREAKING NEWS!]

[A new Giant enters the Arena; let’s welcome Club Echelon!]

Club Echelon’s creation was not an anonymous event, and it was accompanied by reactions.

The English Warstar eSports scene was shaken to its core with the official unveiling of Club Echelon, a brand-new pro team that was tied to the in-game guild Echelon which was led by none other than the infamous Lord Doom and his legendary squad.

By now, talks about Lord Doom’s true identity was a source of countless debates in multiple Warstar communities.

For years, England’s Warstar scene has been dominated by enduring powerhouse clubs like Cyber Squad, Juggernaut, Phoenix Rising, and Scarlet Rose, but Echelon’s sudden rise had sent shockwaves through the entire ecosystem.

Club Echelon’s popularity was a weird situation. Afterall, this was a club that was just registered and was not even a part of the competitive Pro Alliance yet.

Afterall, there were other requirements to play in the Pro Alliance.

Despite not even playing one in the Pro Alliance yet, the new club managed to garner so much attention simply due to one name..., Lord Doom.

And then, the one question dominated headlines again.

Who is Lord Doom?

...

It was not just the Warstar fan community that jumped into the hype train started by Club Echelon’s creation, the analytic community of the pro scene and Warstar in general also reacted.

News casters and analysts jumped on the hype train.

"I don’t think people understand what this means. Lord Doom is not just a top-tier player, he’s an enigma. A monster. A force of nature. A player with an SSS-Ranked skill is a nightmare for every established club".

>Marcus "IronMind" Walker, Warstar Analyst<

...

"The question of Lord Doom’s true identity has finally been answered. I had a close-door interview with Gabriel, Club Phoenix Rising’s captain, and he confirmed recent suspicions that Lord Doom is indeed our dear retired God Noah".

>John Paul, Warstar Analyst<

...

"And it’s not just Lord Doom- God Noah. The entire team is ridiculous. If Lord Doom is God Noah, then the others should be Aria, Genevieve, Caleb, and Benjamin! These are players who, even as free agents, would have been snatched up by any major club. The fact that they formed their own is absurd".

>Evelyn "StormWatcher" Hayes, Warstar eSports Commentator<

Not just the analysts and commentators jumped into the hype train, pro players themselves and club executives also jumped into the train on interviews.

>Gabriel "Dain Ironvalor" (Phoenix Rising Captain)<

"Gabriel, what do you think about Club Echelon?"

"I always welcome new competition. But this? This is war. If they think they can just walk into the pro scene and take over, God Noah or not, they’re dead wrong".

The mind games already started.

...

>Isabella "Stormborn Valor" (Cyber Squad Vice Captain)<

"Noah..., sorry, Lord Doom is terrifying in a solo setting. But Warstar isn’t a one-man game. The pro scene is different from ranked PKs. We’re waiting for them to join the Pro Alliance next season, we’ll see if they can handle it".

...

>Jonathan "Crimson Saint" (Scarlet Rose Captain)<

"To Noah, whenever you want, I’m ready for you. Stop bullying casuals in the game and come face me in the Pro Alliance like a man!"

...

>Lionhearts Legacy (Club Statement)<

"We respect every new club entering the pro scene, but history favors experience. We’ll be waiting for them".

The reactions didn’t end there, there was also the fan reactions.
