Chapter 274 - The World Reacts
Parallax kept staring blankly at the screen for a while , he was stupefied , he wanted to beleive that maybe it was fluke , that maybe the guy had been lucky when he cleared floor 70 .
However reality slapped him hard when he looked at the videos of Shakuni climbing , the guy cleared floor 70 with over 30 seconds to spare , he was in a league of his own.
He was unwilling to admit it , he wanted to say that maybe that guy cheated , but it was not possible to cheat in Omega. Gaia did not let anyone cheat . It was overall a hard pill to swallow , but the truth was that if Rudra had been allowed to climb further , he would have easily crossed floor 75 at the least.
Parallax was not a man with weak will , and such losses will not detrack him , however he did take extreme pride in being called the best in the world , now he never said it explicitly himself , but he sure beleived that way. Now , when he could not proove that he was best in the world with his performance , and that there was someone even better , it broadened his horizons. He understood that the worldstage was much bigger than he anticipated , and that he would have to work harder to get the gold.
Bitterly accepting silver medal for his first event , he swore to make a strong comeback , in the second one!
-----
( The True Elites headquarters , Real world )
The Elites had gathered in the floor 60 guild hall. Where they had set up a massive screen , they were collectively watching the Olympics and cheering on their teammates.
When Neatwit secured a medal , the crowd inside went ballistic and whistles and cheers rained supreme in the hall. However , the guild hall descended to mayhem when Rudra won the gold medal.
The guild members always knew that their guild leader was a strong player , but his performance on the world stage just showed , exactly how strong of a player he was.
Cool and claculating , he sure took his time to advance , however when he did , he made sure to do it with style. The respect they had in their hearts for the guild master just went up by tenflod.
Karna grinned wide looking at the screen , his buddies Neatwit and Shakuni had stolen the show with their first day appearance , he felt pumped for his own event now . He wanted to win a medal too.
This was not just for Karna , everyone in Japan currently felt this , Rudra's victory gave a lot of confidence to te Japanese , who wanted to recreate more and more of his success. Ethan had long anticipated this , hence he wanted Rudra to change his demeanor , to make him cold and unreachable , soo that all those who wanted to be like him would continue to strive harder , thinking that the peak is too far.
The Japanese and world media were all over Rudra now , from his birth , to every notable event that he was a part of In Omega , everything was being broadcasted , as the show got good ratings , because the world wanted to know more about the guild leader of the True Elites.
Rudra was invited for a small medal ceremony by the cuber officials , who wanted to strap the gold medal on his neck , Rudra and Neatwit accepted their invites however Parallax did not . Hence , in the medal ceremony , the cuber official crowned the two Elites with their medals.
Neatwit made a V sign on the podium , whole Rudra raised his hand , his fist balled up and only one finger pointing at the sky! He was telling the whole world he was number 1 !
With Parallax not present , this photo was definitely going on the guild wall. Neatwit was not unhappy about winning bronze , but he was unhappy that the gap between him and silver was soo large. He vowed to improove ! However , he was genuinely happy for Rudra , to whom he gave a bear hug for his win. The two had a good relationship.
Rudra logged out of Omega after the medal Ceremony , as he wanted to lay low for his off day before the third day where he had to participate in the one v one fight competition.
For now he wanted to look at Fatty Kalash and Sir Jhonny's blacksmithing event live . As he walked down the stairs of his room , he saw his mom , dad and little brother standing there waiting for him. His mom had tears in her eyes , while Max's eyes were gleaming in admiration. Father Rajput was happy too , but tried his best to mentain a indifferent expression.
Mother Rajput weakly said " Congratulations...".
Rudra went on and hugged his mom , he was happy that she was proud , but she did not need to stress over it , it was alright nothing too big.
Max tried to get between the two people hugging as he kept saying " Big brother big brother you are soo cool.... I want to be like you when I grow up ".
These words melted Rudra's heart , little did max know how much his ears wanted to hear these words in his past life , looking back , he felt he changed a lot eh!

He ruffled little Max's hair , and nodded at father Rajput , who had a lot of words to say , but only muttered 'good ' before he sat back down on the couch. Rudra sat beside him , as they watched TV , apparently the media was still showing coverage about him.
Mother Rajput was busy preparing Rudra's favourite dishes , as she only gave a nutritional drink to Rudra pre dinner to revitalize after his game. Rudra was sipping it slowly , as father Rajput changed the channel to the one popular in country X .
Shockingly when Rudra's past about how he used to live in country X?came out , the citizens there started to plead that he returned home. Some called him a traitor , while some accused the government of talent drain. It was a entertaining show overall , Rudra was enjoying it.
However then on the TV with a banner of '?please marry me Rudra '?, he saw his old girlfriend from his past life. Rudra spat the drink he was drinking as he started to cough.
Memories flashed in his mind , his old girlfriend that he made in the full time office job he worked , they never dated , they never acted like a real couple and did intimate stuff, they were more like a work couple , Rudra helped her with her workload and that was pretty much it?, she never helped him back , and he did not mind because he thought that's how relationships worked.
When he moved to playing Omega full-time , she supported him in the start , when he rose to a party leader position in a second rate guild , she agreed to eventually go on a date with him. Things looked good , untill when he introduced his girlfriend to his guildmates and one of the superiors took a liking to her.
A few days later she would not return his calls or messages and later he saw her in the guild with his superior , apparently she was also a party leader now and the superiors girlfriend. They had been together for 2 years , and he had never even held hands with her , but apparently she had no problem kissing the other guy in public at that. The incidence broke his heart , he was not heads over heels for the girl , but the betrayal left a bitter aftertaste in his mouth.
Now seeing her becoming a fangirl , Rudra found the whole situation ridiculous. Agreed he would probably never see her in this life , however somehow this small scenario made him feel validated inside. Indeed , success was the best revenge!
Father Rajput misunderstood the situation however , he thought Rudra had spilled the drink because of the marriage sign , that the boy was shy of marriage.
Father rajput said " Boy , listen to me here , see you are already mature enough and earning good money. You have good prestige as well , you might not understand but these are very endearing qualities that women like , instead of goofing around with two or three girls it's better to pick one and settle down ".
Rudra " .....".
Mother Rajput's voice came from the kitchen next " even if you want to goof around , make sure that the girl is good at heart and pretty in looks , don't choose a dumb hag ".
Rudra "....".
Father rajput " The other parents often ask me , is your son dating anyone , I feel embarrassed telling them that my 22 year old is still single and has never dated a girl in his life ".
Rudra "....".
Mother Rajput " Aiyo , yes I feel that too , your father had already gotten me preganant when I was 21 , we were dating 2 years prior to that , yet our son is soo useless , when will I have a daughter in law? ".
Rudra decided that staying in the house any longer was detrimental to him , hence he bolted out of the door .
SLAM!
Rudra slammed the door as he ran away.
Father Rajput "....".
Mother Rajput ".....".
Max " I have a girlfriend! ".
Father and mother Rajput " !!!!!!!"
