Rudra was shocked to see that there were a few hundred adventurers lined up to enter the capital city of Vanaheim.

  Rudra seemed to have underestimated the capabilities of the masses. There were a few hundred out of the thousands that tried , that did actually make it.

  However just as he thought , no one was being given entry into the Elven capital. The Elves were very strict with the entry of people not from their race into their settlements. The Elves had a specially built trade district , 20 minutes away from the capital. Where merchants could meet and trade . However that was the extent of which they allowed most people to interact with their race.

  Conservative to the core , they absolutely hated half elves and dark elves. Only pure elves were accepted by the society , and they were raised in a way that they were always conscious of other races.

  The only people that were not from the elf race , that were allowed into the Elven capital , were the priests from the Church of light and very famous Heroes.

  The elves were also astout followers of the Goddess of light , and every settlement had to mandatorily have a shrine dedicated to the Goddess. The capital city having the largest one of them , made of pure elven silver and gemstones.

  This is where the reputation , and fame of players mattered in the game . The features of gaining fame and reputation from completing certain tasks had been there since the game's inception. However , uptill now there was no real use for it.

  In the long line of adventurers , not even one gained entry into the capital city. This was because one needed +1000 or above reputation with the Church of light or +5000 fame or more to enter the Capital of Elves.

  Gaining fame and reputation was not easy in Omega , maybe only 1 in 10,000 players would meet these requirements.

  When this fact was revealed in his past life , there was a mad rush to gain more reputation points with the Church of light. However most quests hardly rewarded 20-30 fame , or none at all. It was very hard to collect enough of it.

  The Elf guard at the door was cold as ice , as he turned away entrant after entrant from entering the Elven city.

  Some thief tried to sneak in unnoticed using stealthy , however before he could set a single foot inside the capital , 3 arrows pierced through his heart , naval and brain , as he died on the spot.

  Loud complains and murmurs were heard , as the crowd became more and more agitated when people were refused access to the capital.

  ' What is this bull**** game? , Who designed this ? Cuber corporation what is the point of making a city , when noone can enter it in the first place ? '

  ' What the hell is wrong with the guard's here , why is no one able to enter , what exactly does one need to do to gain entry into the elven capital ?'.

  ' I think the map for the capital is not actually ready yet , it's just a marketting tactic by cuber corporation to sell more headsets , the guard is there to hide that secret '.

  Many people reacted violently to his message , believing it to be the real case .

  However a moderator message appeared.

  MODERATOR NOTICE : User #23347900 has been banned for baseless slander.

  Everyone became quiet and cursed silently , they still wanted to play the game . Once you were banned in Omega , then you were done for life. There were no second chances , no unbanning.

  As Rudra and his party approached the gate , someone warned them " They won't let you through , its useless to try ".

  Rudra smiled at the man and said " we'll see ". And continued moving forward.

  The man sneered as he said loudly , " HUH , ANOTHER IDIOT WHO THINKS HE IS SPECIAL".

  Everyone's attention was drawn to the noise , and they scanned the situation . However when they saw the insigna on Rudra ' s robes , they started to murmur.

  " That's Shakuni and Karna , the True Elites , the mad group who won the war ! ".

  " F*** , that's guild leader Shakuni and Vice leader Karna , the other two must be new members".

  " It's the Elites!!!! ".

  Some started their recording as the Elites were without the most popular guild in Hazelgroove currently after their insane war win. Almost everyone who enjoyed playing Omega had seen that war. It put the Elites on the map.

  Karna's face swelled up in pride when , people recognised him . Behind the player Karna he was indeed Leo Crispii first, he enjoyed the attention , that made him feel like a celebrity.

  Everyone looked at him and his guild in awe , as gossips started everywhere , he thought ' That's right , the Elites are here Bitches ! '.

  Now he just hoped that Rudra would indeed be able to get them through the gate . Although he had absolute faith in the leader , he really wanted to keep face. Just the thought of them being denied access was very embarassing for him. He was sure that the moment would be captured by someone recording and posted on the forums. It would make them a laughing stalk.

  Rudra approached the guard , and although he was sure that world renowned was enough for him to gain access into the city , but since he had a party with him , he needed to bring out the big guns.

  He shifted his title to Honorary Bishop Of the Church of light. As he approached the guard.

  The guard stated " what's your rea……", When he realised that Rudra was a honorary Bishop of the Church . His attitude took a 180 as he bowed in respect as he said?" Greetings honorary Bishop , to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit? ".

  Rudra smiled as he said " I heard the temple in the city of Vanaheim dedicated to the goddess is absolutely gorgeous , as a firm beleiver I had to come here to pray. I request sir guard to let me and my fellow comrades passage into the city".

  The guard smiled , while still bowing deeply to Rudra he said " Ofcourse , its my pleasure Sir bishop. ".

  As he opened the gates to grant them entry.

  Everyone watching the scene was dumbfounded , while not a single adventurer was given entry , and was talked down by the guard. That same guard bowed and respected Shakuni? Were their eyes playing a joke on them?

  The murmurs turned Into outright chaos as everyone started to discuss about how the Elites did it , a wave of adventurers tried again to gain entry , however they all were coldly denied. Which only added fuel to their wild imaginations.

  Karna smugly smiled at the crowd before following Rudra and the other's into the capital!

  Rudra smiled seeing the cityscape , he was finally back in Vanaheim!!! The place felt very nostalgic to him and he almost teared up.

  Reeling his emotions in check , a determined look flashed across his face , he was a nobody in his last life , but he was going to change it this time around. He would get that quest before anyone else !!! He would gain the favour of the Elven princess!!!
