Chapter 135 - Simply Not Possible  

System notification : You have been revived at the Church Of life in PurpleHaze city .

-20% all stats for next 3 hours

-2 gold

-( you have dropped the shin guards of your armour)

Rudra did not care about the petty 2 gold he paid for respawn fees or the shin guards that he dropped , the first thing he did was to check the countdown on the quest , but much to his surprise , he had neither cleared nor failed the quest yet as the timer kept running.

It had 3 minutes left , and Rudra gulped nervously , he was not clear on the quest as the details provided were too few , will he clear the quest should the son of archangel sariel still be alive after 3 minutes?

Does he have to go back to the Western town of Bethlehem ? He had no clue at all . The three minutes left on the countdown were the most nervous three minutes of his life that seemed to take an eternity to pass.

Every second off the timer made his mind have a new dark thought each one being worse than the previous one.

Finally the timer hit 0 and a system notification came.

System notification : Quest [ Save the son of Archangel Sariel ] (SSS) Completed successfully! The son of archangel Sariel is looking for you to express his gratitude , make sure to meet him within the next 3 days , he will be at the Church of Life in PurpleHaze city . Go to the Church for other specific rewards!

Rudra sighed in relief. A 60% debuff for failure would have left him crippled , his gaming career in jeopardy. However all was fine now!

He was obviously interested in the rewards , however the intensity and urgency of the situation had made him game continuously at high mental capacity for over 34 hours straight now , he needed a break , hence he decided to just log out of the game for now.

The feed turned dark , which meant that the player had disconnected from the game.

It was a quest full of twists and turns and the people overlooking the entire development were in awe of the skills Rudra displayed.

The Quest line although entertaining had increased their headaches by quite a bit . Rudra achieved something that was not meant to happen in the game , the son of Archangel Sariel was supposed to die at this point triggering the wrath of Sariel which would have resulted in the eruption of Hazelgroove's dormant volcano and first ever calamity event.

Rudra actually succeding in the quest had put the Cuber corporation in a tough spot.?While creating the game they had made sure that the players had freedom and that every choice they made had a very attatched consequence , yet they had still set a very general direction for the game to progress in . However including Rudra there were 16 in game players that were flagged by the AI that continued to defy the bounds of artificial programming.

Especially Rudra , his actions of introducing the bomb soo early in the game as well as making explosives within a week of getting the explosive artist subclass that were one of the hardest things to design?was something that the AI and Cuber corporation never anticipated. Forcing them to make a negotiation to bring balance back to the game and now he derailed a main storyline from its intended path.

They had to make a choice now , should they forcefully make the volcano erupt? Or should they let the game take its natural course??The Cuber officials were in an intense debate. However one thing good that came from the episode was that Rudra became in the clear , just being marked at unpredictable and extremely skilled with a threat level of (7/10) in the books .

( Real world , the upside , at an ice cream joint )

Naomi was feeling a lot low , nothing seemed to cheer her up as she could not focus on anything at all . Even playing the game she felt a pang of constant guilt hence she chose to logout and go out for an ice-cream.

At the ice-cream joint a little kid was cutely licking a triple scoop icecream about the size of his arms. Icecream smeared all over his cheeks. Naomi instantly recognized him , he was guildmaster's little brother Max , she had seen the kid in the innaugration party.

She took a seat next to Max and ordered a chocolate cone while giving Max a big smile.

Max looked at Naomi and the innocent 8 year old just said " Prettyy " and went back to licking his ice-cream as it was more important to him .

Naomi blushed at the compliment , kids were the best they blurted whatever they thought and there was no malice hidden in their words.

Naomi's impression of little Max just went up by +50 , as apart from being soo cute and adorable he was also soo sweet. She thought maybe the brothers were raised well as they always said sweet things to her.

Trying to make small talk she asked Max " soo what do you wanna do when you grow up? ".

Max looked at Naomi for a second , then realized that every second he spent talking , was a second he could have used eating ice-cream hence he just ignored her and walked off , ice-cream in hand .

Naomi just watched on in shock , she was ignored and stood up by a little guy who called her pretty just seconds ago , she thought ' ..... And here the world calls girls minds fickle' .

Focusing on eating her ice-cream she was a little sad as the cute little eye candy Max had gone away , however what she saw next completely blew her away.

The guild leader Rudra was out running in a tanktop and earphones. His lean body full of muscles made her gulp for a second. She thought ' Well , thats a fine snack too '.

When Max who just finished eating his icecream saw his brother. He screamed ' Brother! ' as he ran towards Rudra to hug him.

Rudra was surprised seeing Max running towards him , but he showed the enthusiasm back as even though he was sweaty he took the little guy in for a big hug!

Naomi's heart just went into meltdown seeing this scene , it was just soo adorable !?, Rudra then put little Max on his shoulders as he continued a slow jog.

When Rudra was no longer in sight her eyes dissapointedly went back towards the icecream she was eating , which had half melted by now. When a lady came out from a black lamberghini and sat beside her ordering a chocolate icecream too.

Naomi smiled at the stranger , who politely smiled back .

That stranger , was Yua Nakatomi.

/// Bang! What rewards will Rudra get? , What girl will he get? , There will be no harem guys , one will suffer heartbreak while one will win his heart.However?the real no1 will always be little Max!
