Rudra's return to the True Elites guild was filled with controversy . Neatwit was constantly giving him a puffy face , as if Rudra had him were in a relationship and he had cheated on Neatwit. While Karna was also in a foul mood for some reason , as he would curtly reply to everything that Rudra asked but not shower the brotherly love.

Rudra was perplexed as to what the heck happened , the answer to which was given to him by Amelia who slowly explained the whole debacle of his absence. From the allegations that he was being jailed by the church for using dark moves in his arsenal to the whole ordeal of becoming the number one ranker in the world.

Knowing that Rudra was as dumb as a log Amelia slowly explained how the guild members think that he did not take them to the place he went and hogged all the brilliant levelling resources to himself , which was the reason why Neatwit was acted like he cheated on him. While Karna was pissed because the only text Rudra left for him before going off the grid was ' Something came up , might not be available for 7 days '.

This short message resulted in karna accumulating a lot of stress as he genuinely worried about Rudra's whereabouts.

Amelia thoroughly scolded Rudra for not being more communicative and taking one minute to write a half decent message before wandering off the grid for days and Rudra had to just listen with his head down while reflecting on his behaviour.

Amelia was like a mother to the boys in the guild , as these 22 year old brats were hardly better than a group of teenagers on their own. It was only with her as an anchor that the guild felt like a guild and not a teenage gaming club house.

The result of Amelia scolding Rudra resulted in him having a private meeting with the elders where he in depth described the perilous situation he came from , and how stressful the last few days had been for him , and how close he was to getting his character deleted permanently.

This pacified everyone , as slowly the dam broke and everyone started to pity Rudra again , as people rushed to console him for his hardwork. Which sent a releif down Rudra's spine as the guild finally felt like home again .

Rudra had to repeatedly say the point ' The risk is not worth it ' to drive home the point through Neatwits skull that hell is not a monster farming zone . As Rudra feared the meat headed nature of this guy when it came to levelling.

However overall , after settling things in the guild Rudra decided to finally log out for some much needed rest into the real world. He was not planning on playing Omega for 3 days . Rest completely today , attend the guild foundation party tommorow , get sloshed and party all night while taking the next day off too. Before playing Omega again.

Rudra was excited to party with the boys and not worry about the world collapsing for once as he was going to get wild . However little did he know that Yua and Naomi both had set their sights on Rudra , in what could become the worst night of his life .

Rudra was a guy for whom romance was an elusive thing. It was not that he did not want romance in his life , it was just that he felt working towards achieving that romance was just filled with needing to give too much time and effort.

The same time and effort , that if given to career and making money could result in him achieving his goals and aspirations. Hence , Romance always became a luxury that was like a vacation that Rudra needed to take once or twice a year.

It was exactly why his relationship with Ruby endeared to him soo much . As outside the game he could still be him , while once or twice a month or so he could spend a night with his absolutely gorgeous elven wife .

It was hassle free and mentainance free , which is why Rudra opted for it subconsciously. While although he was attracted to Naomi a bit he was always reserved in making his advances , as what he wanted right now was a smooth going life without the need to balance everything.

Rudra did not want the burden or the mountain of guilt that came with not spending enough time with his girlfriend at the end of the day and be ' That ' guy who did not balance work and life.

He had a family and he would much rather give them free time than goof around with girls , which was probably the reason why he was single .

Which is exactly why when Rudra dragged his tired ass downstairs to the living room , only to see Max sitting in Naomi's lap eating grapes while she handfed him and mother and father Rajput chatted with her amiably , Rudra felt like …..' Huh? '.

( Meanwhile Dronacharya )

Being too cautious can also be a problem , as dronacharya started to Panick even more when nothing abnormal could be found out about the Church of life.

The pope was one of the few people who was escorted by tier 4 warriors who knew how to set up mobile teleportation arrays , which could always carry the holy regiment into Churches all across the continent without a need for teleportation stations set up.

Which is why his appearance and dissapearance from the Church was never found out by anyone. As well as the fate that Aman was being subjected to , never made the light of day.

Hence when the temple was finally reopened to the common masses , and it was observed that everything was just as usual and the clergy were issuing no special quests the people were a bit dissapointed.

The mystery of what Rudra did that made him gain soo many levels had became soo big , that even first rate guild leaders were privately messaging Rudra offering billions of dollars for the information.

Rudra did not care one bit about it , as he said ' fck it all ' as he had logged out. However his this action of rejecting free money had made an even bigger problem for Dronacharya who through his sources had placed a bid of 56 billion dollars for that Information , hoping to get even a titbit about it.

Hence with the plan failing , dronacharya slowly started to feel like something was seriously wrong , even doubting if the spy inside the elites guild had turned on him , or worse , that some of the first rate guild leader had joined hands with Rudra in the dark.

His cautious mind cooked up various conspiracy theories as he tortured himself with scenarios that were completely hypothetical.

The result being his state turning miserable , the happier and more successful that Rudra became
