The rules for national battleground were simple. In a abandoned island , there would be small abandoned settlements all around the map. The players must drop using parachutes to any location on the map.

  The players would not have any equipment on them , and must loot equipment either from dead enemies or from within the abandoned settlements.

  There would be a safezone that would shrink every two and a half minutes by a fixed percentage. And overall the entire game would at max go on for 1 hour , where the safezone will shrink to 0.

  For every consequentive shrinkzone , the damage taken outside the zone would increase. And as no items were allowed in the game , healing items were also to be found and looted in the map.

  The event was not about just fighting and killing opponents , it was about strategy and survival. One could kill a opponent , or simply decide to conserve strength in the initial phase , and duke it out in the final phase.

  Rudra was a man with a target on his back , as in the airplane everyone was dissing him. He was the top dog , and the best player , hence many called him out.

  They were the typical mobs , that only knew how to bark , but when time came to back those words up , they were nowhere to be seen.

  Insults were shouted like " Yo , Shakuni , guess who visited your home yesterday …… ".

  " If you are not a son of a bi*** I dare you to jump to Village Z ".

  " It's a open challenge guys , come to village F , and I will show you whose your daddy".

  To such players Rudra just calmly ignored them , However to the one insulting his mom , he glared viciously at him. The guy was a sheep , and under the gaze of a dragon , he almost wet his pants.

  He immediately shut up.

  One by one , players started to jump off the plane along with their squads. And when the gps showed that the drop location was 750 meters away , Rudra gave the squad to jump.

  Zap

  Zap

  Zap

  Zap

  Four players jumped in rapid succession , and some idiot squad jumped right after them , as if giving them a chase.

  Rudra was not impressed by the fools , his location was the central largest village P , however there were one squad of players exactly above them , and three other squads that were dropping at the exact same location.

  Nero told Rudra " The place is too congested , we can still change trajectory , we will find equipment from small settlements , its more important to survive ".

  The generals watching the stream completely agreed with Nero's opinion , it was stupid to go to a village where 4 other squads were landing. However Rudra was not impressed by the suggestion , he only increased the speed of the teams descent as he said " Shakuni doesn't retreat , Shakuni makes others retreat ".

  Nero was shocked by Rudra's arrogance , he felt a headache was in store because he had a mindless group leader.

  The parachutes opened 200 meters above ground , and the players were rapidly dropping.

  Rudra however pulled the strings of the parachute with full strength , and arched it more than it was , creating upthrust , slowing descent.

  Rudra rose to the height of the team following them , the players were definitely here for Rudra ,as they threw dirty glances at the man.

  Rudra however gave them a very spooky smile as he said " Soo you guys want to drop to the exact same location as us , and try fight us early on …… Well let me grant you your wish , and send you to the ground faster ! ".

  DARKNESS BLAST

  DARKNESS BLAST

  A combo of two darkness blasts , made a hole through two parachutes per each shot , making a hole in all four parachutes.

  The players began to rapidly descent with their parachutes being torn , at the rate they were falling , they knew they would absolutely not survive.

  Rudra only heard a " YOuuuu baaaassssttttaaaaa……".?From the falling men , before they got outside the range of earshot.

  The event was started the moment they exited the plane , and dropping alongside any team was a big no - no . Rudra only used such a method of dealing with them because he was sure they were novices. However in the real VR OLYMPICS , the top teams would never make such silly mistakes.

  3 of the four instantly died upon impact , while the tank of the group , with the higest hp survived badly with 15 HP.

  His body hurt , he probably had multiple bones broken , however from his mouth the words coming out were " Curse you …… Damn shak……".

  Before he could even curse Rudra , Rudra landed on the ground , by stomping on his head-

  250 !

  A -250 damage appeared on the player and he died immediately. Rudra landed on the battlefield with one foot on the head of a dead player.

  Soon Yume , Nero and Neatwit also landed , and saw Rudra's pose with a corpses head below his foot.

  Nero awkwardly raised his eyebrows in shock.

  While Neatwit said " cool entrance ".

  Yume just gave a double thumbs up to Rudra , just upon landing Rudra had killed 4 players and eliminated a squad!

  The team quickly started looting for supplies , and stocking things in their limited inventory slots.

  The fight for village P was far from being over , as 4 different squads survived In 4 corners of the settlement. Bound to clash within next 10 minutes.

  Inside the safezone , and with full numbers , Rudra's crew got to looting within settlement P , Rudra found a useless silver rated blade , however without a lack of better option , he made it his main weapon.

  For armour he had common bronze armour , and shin guards , and a silver helmet , he had no shoulder pads and no boots. He looked odd while being a half dressed knight , but that was everything he could do at the moment , he would have definitely looted more , but he heard enemy footsteps.

  Someone was nearby!
