Rudra met Ethan in private after leaving Naman's house. The two shared silence for a while before Ethan apologised.

  Rudra shrugged his shoulder as he looked at him and said " I have my own family here , and my guilds , I trusted you enough to come here Ethan , that the upside will be my safe haven. Is my family and my guild safe here Ethan ? ".

  This question formed a lump in Ethan Grey's throat , upside was his proud development and he the security here was supposed to be top notch.

  Ethan said " I will quadruple the security , while specially installing chips on all residents of the upside. When a visitor comes in , he will be restricted to specific areas , while all lifeforms not having the chip will be closely monitored by two patrol drones at all times. This incident will not repeat itself ".

  Rudra nodded , atleast there was a lesson from this incident and things were going to change. But he said " I will destroy the Ambani corporation main guild, and the chinese triads within Omega as well , however YOU must do the same in reality ".

  Ethan nodded , it was decided then .

  Rudra said Lastly " I am expecting some Cuber Officials to visit me soon. Prepare to recieve them with full security ".

  Ethan was surprised at Rudra's revelation , cuber was a very mysterious organization , nobody really knew much about them. However their were the equivalent of international embassies , no country dared to make a fuss.

  And indeed as expected , two cuber officials did visit the upside , along-with a special package that had to be scanned for security reasons . Which was revealed to be a higher model of a gaming pod.

  The meeting was done inside the Elite tower conference room , as Rudra was alone with the two cuber officials.

  Cuber official one said " Congratulations to you Rudra Rajput for breaking through the confines of a mere human , I am sure you will be curious as to the effects of the changes in your body , let me explain.

  Firstly , when you will focus intently on battle , you will feel the world slowing down around you , your battle performance should be?much better than before and your reflexes should be as fast as F1 drivers now.

  Secondly your muscle memory has became extremely sharp , the normal VR pod is no longer functional for you , you will need this fully integrated VR pod custom made to suit your body and muscles. I caution you right here right today . NEVER game in the normal gaming pod again , lest you have an accident wish.

  Finally , your new VR pod is made as such from an ancient design of the Egyptian coffins that gathers dark energy from the universe and funnels it into the user. This phase is not completely tested yet , hence consider yourself as a beta tester who will need to explore the bugs and problems himself.

  Should you gain paranormal powers? Inform us at once. Except that , keep a check on your strength at all times , mostly you will still function as a normal human , however should you use an attack or throw a punch with dark energy as the base , it would be enough to punch through 12 inch thick steel plates , soo take care of that.

  Keep this special communication device that we give you today , as a means to directly contact the cuber office. We want monthly reports on your progress , naturally we will reward you handsomely. If you donot contact us , don't worry , we will periodically fly in and check on you anyway , but there will not be any rewards for us having to take the flight down here. Soo make your choice wisely".

  Rudra was baffled for a minute as a massive dump of information was poured in on him. He was staring at the two officials blankly , for a second he thought he would have forgotten half the things the officials said , however to his surprise he remembered the conversation word for word. It was like he had perfect recall over his memory as his brain replayed the whole conversation in HD quality inside his mind.

  Every word , every expression , all imprinted into his mind.

  Rudra was feeling like the damn Spiderman when he first explored his powers , all this felt new to him , it was like he was an infant again , not knowing the prowess of his own body.

  The cuber official 2 then said " We will be taking back the VR pod you initially used , naturally it is a given that you will not divulge this information even to your dear guild members. Should you do it , the consequences will be severe as we will ban the entire guild alongside you from Omega".

  With this threat the cuber officials stood up , shook Rudra's hand , and walked away from his office. Taking the VR pod that smelled like the gutter back , they installed the new VR pod that was looked like a coffin and had 18 slots for nutritional fluids was now in its place.

  They left a manual for Rudra , that instructed him as to what nutritional fluids of what brands to install on which slots .

  The price of the fluids mentioned was nearly 100,000 dollars , and they would be depleted within a week . This was a steep cost that Rudra would have to take on from now on . However Rudra was in no position to complain. The danger in the officials voice was clear , If he did not use this VR pod. Only accidents were waiting to happen to him.

  Despite all this , Rudra was actually looking forward to testing this custom built VR pod for him , as he had a burning anger inside his chest currently.

  Rudra swore by the heavens , that the next one month , he would improove like a madman , he would become the strongest version of himself yet , and then he would start decimating the Ambani main guild and Hao Mi's triads .

  What he did not know was that the entire guild shared his sentiment , none more so than the duo of Neatwit and Naomi …… The next month , the dragons would see the group of madmen improve before their naked eyes.
