Chapter 2 - Omega
Rudra's father was a stern man and since, Rudra graduated this year but was not placed.....he went on to confront him.
"What plans do you have for the future, if nothing else come join me in my company " He said
He half expected his son to rebel and them to have an argument, but Rudra was unexpectedly courteous
" Please give me 10 grand and a time of 3 months father, if I fail in my new endeavour I will surely join your office."
This attitude shocked his father, the usually brash kid was feeling very mature to him today.
" Okay then, do what you want."
"I will be moving out tomorrow, father I will return either having made something out of myself or join you in the next 3 months"
His father was worried for him, but he knew in his heart this was one of the make or break moments in a man's life... Being a young ambitious man himself in the past he could feel his son's burning passion.
He agreed and lent Rudra the sum of money and Rudra rented an apartment for 200 bucks a month and rationed all food necessary, He then went to the shop and bought the best headset for the new game 'Omega' for 5 thousand dollars.
It was not as good as the gaming pods, but it would be a year before those were released hence, he was now stuck with this 95% neural link headset.
Rudra was all set for the launch of the game tomorrow at 12 am.... as he laid in his bed waiting he created a strategy in his mind, all the things to do and all the hassles to avoid, even though he had played the game for countless hours .... He was feeling nervous with butterflies in his stomach.
Like he did when he played his first time ... he laughed as he found it silly..... and soon the countdown to the game started

WELCOME TO 'OMEGA'
He was transported to a temple like room with a fairy
she said " ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข... ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐จ๐ข๐ช๐ข ๐ช ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฅ."

There were more than 35 classes in 'Omega'.
But Rudra had already decided on his class.
He would choose the Knight class.
Usually one needed to read about all classes and then choose according to their strengths but Rudra already knew all about the classes hence he could choose one straight away

Rudra decided on a traditional Indian name from mythology,
A legendary character in the most bloody war in History,
The ultimate schemer ' Shakuni'.

YES
NO
He chose 'no', he had no need to change his appearance, he came to know about 5 years into the game that changing ones appearance reduced the neural sync rate.
He would absolutely not do that this time.

HAZELGROOVE KINGDOM
NINE CLOUDS KINGDOM
GHOST KINGDOM
AQUAHOSE KINGDOM
There were four major kingdoms in the Eastern continent and Each kingdom had few major cities and a large capital city .... but all players had to spawn from a small village near the capital city
The four kingdoms all had their history and lineage dating back to 1000 years... it was astonishing as to how realistic and profound this game world was, giving royal dynasties a backdated lineage and each kingdom its own culture and heritage.
Rudra had made his plan to make the Hazelgroove kingdom his operations base as his enemy the ' White Light' guild would be joining this kingdom . He was stationed in this kingdom for a long time and has knowledge of every dungeon every nook and cranny of the kingdom .
Please choose 'Hazelgroove kingdom'.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!!!
ZAP! he was transported to the spawn point in Blackwater village
Rudra was elated ..... he looked to the skies and shouted ' I M BACK'!
A few NPC's and players looked at him as if he was a madman. Rudra looked around and saw a scene all too familiar, most players who spawned in the village were having to struggle walking and most were mesmerized at how real the world felt.
Yes the company advertised full dive technology but no one expected it to be so good and feel so real, while some casual players were enjoying the scenery some really hyper players and levelling maniacs had already ran off into the wild to kill some animals to gain EXP.
He called out the system menu
Player Name : Shakuni
Title : none
Class : Knight
Subclass : none
LVL : 1
Tier :0
STATS
AGI : 5 VIT : 5
INT : 5 STA : 5
PHY : 5 HP : 100/100
Status : Healthy
Equipment : common stone sword
In 'Omega' all classes started with a 100 hp and 5 points in all stats and upon levelling you get 5 stat points for each level which you can freely distribute.
Then according to your class you can choose your best stat distribution.
Rudra was very weak right now and it was time to go grind some levels as the quest he needed to take in Blackwater village required him to be of at least level 5.
'Off to levelling we go' Thought Rudra and ran into the wild.
