Chapter 688 New beginnings
The next day for Omega was one where there was utter chaos as the importance of the game shifted once more for the entire world.Omega itself was always something of a second world to the earthlings and their life inside Omega was a second life in an alternate reality however now the alternate life had unbelievable real life stakes.
The detailed explanation that the world governments released explained that when the planet underwent the first awakening , only those whose bodies were fine-tuned with mana would survive while those who could not adapt would perish.
A mad rush amongst players to join the really strong organization's started and with the government's releasing the statement that tier 4 and higher players had virutal gaurantee to survive the first awakening , it began a 2 year rush time for players to reach tier 4.
Nobody wanted to play solo anymore and everyone wanted to join the best guilds so that when the tutorial of Omega ended and the real life integration of the game started , they had strong like minded players to have their backs.
The elites had to close all further recruitment notices until further deliberation as Rudra did not give a conclusive answer as to how he wished to proceed with the future of the guild now that the game was no longer a game at all.
With the auto move features coming to an end , players lost 90% of their combat efficiency overnight , as while doing basic moves like running , dodging and movement was easy , executing their signature moves became difficult.
For Rudra , moves that stemmed out of his items such as solar beam and solar restore and the like were easy to master as it only took him one day to understand that he needed to redirect the mana in his body in a specific pattern towards the sun god's bracelet to activate these moves.
However learning his own sword moves and skill moves such as blink took a lot more practice and time.
It took Rudra a whole two weeks instead of the expected 6 days to complete the second goal of the church of death quest , as following the announcement by Gaia , people no longer felt converting to a relegion to be their first priority hence the NPC's changing relegion was the only way the counter kept moving.
A system notification came when he succeeded on his job.
-------

------
Rudra gained 80 levels at once and +3000 stat points to all stats to gain an astronomical power boost at a critical time , as while the world was struggling to level up while learning how to wield their weapons and use their skills for real in the wild , Rudra gained 80 levels at once and that too from level 320 to 400.
Rudra also got one all skill upgrade card and one death skill.
[ All skill upgrade card ] ( Mythic ) - Upgrade any one skill from your skill set , irrespective of the skill to its ultimate form.
Note - Does not work on divine level skills.
[ Death skill ] ( Divine ) - The god of death Hades is impressed by your efforts and progress to strengthen the Church of death . To reward you he bestows you the chance to learn any one of his own tier 5 skills .
Rudra read the description of the two item cards he had recieved and sucked in a breath of cold air . This was a once in a lifetime chance for him to upgrade his best skills in such a fashion that he could carry them over from Omega to Sigma and ingrain them into his very fight style.
He had realised now that once he upgraded his eyes to the gods eyes his real life pupils also turned grey in color , and with the first awakening around the corner and the game being but a tutorial he was sure that the skill he chose now would have a massive impact on his life after the awakening.
With huge pressure to defeat Lucifer in the given time and with an unknown future of the entire human race looming over his head , Rudra knew that the choice of two skills he was going to chose today would be critical.
This time around the skill upgrade card was applicable on all his skills except the angels wrath . This meant that he could upgrade one of his very precious class specific skills to its maximum potential.
Rudra read how the upgrade card would work on every one of his class specific skills as he contemplated on which one of those to use the card on.

[ Demon Overlord ] ( tier 5 ) ( ???? ) - ???????
No information was available for the last skill.
Rudra had a big choice to make now to select from amongst both the class specific skills and Hades 's special skills to chose from .
The scope of selection this time did not pertain to the game itself , but had to suffice 3 major criteria
1) Practical application in real life
2) The effectiveness of the move against the struggle on Lucifer
3) The difficulty to learn the move.
Rudra had learnt it the hard way in the last two weeks that the higher grade the moves were , the more difficult they were to learn for real.
With him being on a strict timeline he needed to take into consideration all three of these factors and make the most appropriate choice.
/// Guys you know the drill , please select the two skills you guys think are the most useful for Rudra considering the three criterias i have stated below and comment what you want him to choose.
Also , please give the appropriate reasoning for your choice as this is literally the critical component for the coming mega arc against Lucifer.
I have to insist on maximum participation this time around , please write what choice you want to be picked even if you don't provide the reason. But comment down below for sure !
A longer chapter than usual , cause it's my birthday today , Hopefully you all enjoy ! ///
