Chapter 267 - First Event
Chapter 267 – First Event
Rudra cut off all communication with the guild members once he teleported back to the guild hall. Before going for levelling , he gave Neatwit a small fist bump and told him all the best for the coming event.
Then he went off on his mount towards the levelling grounds. Rudra although farming mobs , was actually just warming up , training his reflex and getting the exp at the same time.
He was getting in the frame of mind to fight hordes and hordes of monsters. Rudra had matured over the one month of training , beat the clock challenge was not about climbing the tower with the most speed , it was about going the farthest.
He would not recklessly climb floors anymore , he would take every bit of rest he could get , his plan being to climb one floor at a time.
Overall , there were 5 main contenders including him according to his memory for the 3 medal spots , with parallax being a favourite , while Neatwit being a strong contender .
Neatwit had dissapeared from the game stage early and in his past life he never made it to the VR Olympics , hence he was a wildcard.
Apart from those 2 , there was a Bulgarian player called Hammerhead , and a South African player called rabada who could be potential medal winners . As they alongside parallax were gold silver and bronze .
When only 20 minutes time was left for the event to start , Rudra finally changed into his level 75 armour and full gear. He drank potions and calmed his mind to get to his peak condition.
Ever since he understood his drawback about his reliance on excellent swords for his success , he never once used Excalibur and Elven sword in training. Training with silver grade swords throughout.
Now for the first time in a month , he took out Excalibur and Elven sword , as he felt the familiar weight in his hands . A sense of comfort soon spread all over his body , he was a Ferrari driving under 40 km/ h with the inferior weapons , but the speed limit applied no more .
As only one minute was left before the event started , images of his mom , dad and little Max cheering him on came in his mind.
Then it was his guild members , and Ethan Grey , the ones for whom he was willing to undertake this journey.
Finally the image of Ruby came in his mind , and the memory of the short kiss flashed. Rudra's heart ached for a second , as he could almost feel the softness of her lips on his . He missed her, he missed her a lot!
Sighing , Rudra took a deep breath . His gaze changed to a determined one , he had remembered his reasons to win. For them he could not fail .
Then came the invite, Rudra instantly pressed accept.
Just as he was being teleported , he heard a soft voice in his head … Which said " All the best" , Rudra was perplexed , he knew that sound very well… It was Naomi.
He shook his head and smiled , not thinking much about this , as he focused on the challenge ahead.

( Worldwide media POV)
/// This is the media POV , how people would view this event worldwide , for the next segments wherever the commentators would be speaking , please imagine it as a third person pov///
Derek Ray : Good morning ladies and gentlemen , I am Derek Ray , and with me today is the English commentator and eSports specialist Lee Dixon , as we will preside over the commentary for the first event in VR Olympics , the beat the clock.
Lee Dixon : Thanx Derek , it's a monumental day , no doubt about it , it doesn't get much bigger than this …. First day , first event , who do you think shall win this event ?
Derek Ray : Well , the competitors are all gathering at the base of the tower Lee , let's take a look at today's competitors , the competition starts in 3 minutes time. Well , first and foremost , we have to mention the Bulgarian brute Hammerhead , A barbarian class player who charges in at the opponents with no care at all, some may say he is more of a monster than those In the tower.
Lee Dixon : I agree Derek , look at those muscles on the man , he looks like he means buisness , last known level of the man is rumoured to be 62!
Derek Ray : talking about levels Lee , although 62 is impressive it's nothing compared to the 82 of the flagbearer and the current favourite to win this event Parallax. No guild , no backing , yet this guy is number one in the world , I think that says volumes about the man. What do you think about his chances Lee?
Lee Dixon : well Derek we do know that beat the clock has increased monster levels the higher one goes , the advantage of stats would become increasingly clear once someone hits level 50 . And monster levels hit level 70.
Derek Ray : Well he is the currently most picked player to win this event , however we never know till it's over Lee . There is also the leader of the infamous miracle guild 'True Elites ' , Shakuni playing in this event.
Lee Dixon : Well Derek , the guy has the nickname of demon of death valley on the unofficial forums , he is the flag bearer of Japan , the guy has produced soo many against the odds victories with his small guild , you can never count the man out.
Derek Ray : Absolutely Lee , there is also his guildmate Neatwit and the South African powerhouse Rabada . Both formidable players , this is going to be a interesting contest.
Lee Dixon : Well the countdown for the first game has started Derek 10 seconds to go 9….8
… 3….2…..1!
Showtime!
