Chapter 47: Aftermath
Chapter 47: Aftermath
The news about the incident between Orange Rock guild and True Elites spread like wildfire. Everyone wether it being the First Rate Guilds or the common solo players had a talk about this incident.
While the news was entertainment for most people , it was shocking for others …. Many first rate guilds started doubting their guild model …. If the true strength of the guilds really depended on elite players then their guild structure needed major restructuring.
How could 50 people slaughter their way easy through 2000? Everyone was a player here even if there is a skill and level disparity how can the players not even be able to take down a single True Elite! Can they not even serve as cannon fodder?
‘ The Demon Of Death Valley ‘ solo killed 20 of the strongest so called experts of a first rate guild like Orange Rock… He made the common members question , what exactly is elite? ….. Are the twenty people he killed still elites? They were proffesional gamers with skills much superior to ordinary gamers , yet they cannot stand toe to toe with Rudra at all, then what can they be called? , And if they cannot stand against Rudra what can the other guild members do? If the matter ended there they could take Rudra as an anamoly and move on ….. However with him leading an entire guild of likewise people , the incident shook everyone to their core .
This is not the end of it ….. The way the True Elites are progressing with clearing dungeons normal guilds cant even dream of entering , and dominating the entire level rankings … Can they still not be considered a formidable force?
Arent they supposed to be a luxury Guild.? Just for show? Why are they messing with first rate guilds? Issuing war at that?
A 50 man guild declared war on a first rate guild with a total of 24000 members , after slaughtering their first division and chasing their guild members back to the safe zone where they went to spawn camp the former… How ridiculous was this situation.
The forums went nuts with Orange Rock being the butt of everyone ‘s jokes .
” Hahahaha, thats what you get when you do stupid shit like spawn camping , karma is a bitch baby”.
” Lol , 50 men killing more than 1550 enemies , can they still be considered as opposition? “.
” Fu** , True Elites are too strong! Im a fan for life “.
” It may seem like a conspiracy , but i think all this is staged , how can realistically such a thing happen “.
” I think Ethan Grey bought the Orange Rock and made them do such ridiculous things “.
” Guild war…. Hell yeah ! Count me in “.
” #Orangetrash trends again “.
” Continue the chain if you think Orange Rock guild is full of idiots “.
“ME1”
“ME2”
“ME3”
….
“ME2270”.
the discussion had about 2 million participants on the forums , and was the trending topic of the day , making it through to even real world news headlines.
With ‘ Omega ‘ becoming popular and with player base increasing exponentially the real world news quickly started being influenced by it. News segments specially dedicated to Omega recieved massive viewership numbers.
Overall a general shift in culture could be observed with in game celebrities becoming extremely popular , and even movies being starting to be filmed in the virtual world.
Especially after the first server update , everyone started playing the game , trying to farm money , even office workers working 10 hours a day started to sleep logged into the game , trying to make extra caah, but wether it is genius marketting or the gamers appeal ….. The thing that happens is once you started playing the game you would earn 20 dollars …. You would feel if i had the xyz item i would earn 200 dollars …. Hence you spent 100 dollars to get that item ….. Later you felt you needed item 3 and item 4 costing 5000 dollars …. And the greed cycle never ends and you end pumping more money into the game….. This is why the only people who could really profit from the game are the massive conglomerates whose return on investment is proportional to the investment even then it depended on the players who managed the guilds. This is why everyone eyed Rudra Rajput , making the impossible possible he was a hot commodity currently.
The first person to realize Rudra ‘s huge worth was Ethan Grey. He started beleiving in Rudra after knowing his secret …. However with the explosive growth of ‘Omega’ and Rudra ‘s rising star , his corporate image got a huge boost. The pride of the True Elites was the pride of Grey international now , he had benefitted beyond his dreams with this venture with his share prices seeing a steady rise. He understood that Rudra needed to be backed and to be backed thoroughly .
With his brother being troubled in game he decided to thoroughly crush the opposition in real life, however none of the experts that provided him a report of the situation expected that True Elites would actually slaughter and overpower their way out of the situation scratchless.
With Orange Rock crushed in game , and the Orange technologies crushed in real life it was a brutal assault sending chills down many conglomerates .
Ethan Grey and Rudra Rajput …. These two demons were not to be messed with. However what most did not know was that a manipulative serpant had took intrest in the situation.
He had secretly stabilized the falling stock , and had injected a lot of liquidity to stabilize both the guild and the parent company.
With a team of proffesional swindlers he induced conspiracy theories into the forum making everyone doubt the reality of the incident. While secretly helping the guild members with new benefits as to make them stay after such a face loss.
With new experts being sent from the HQ , it could be said that the guild was restructured before the war …. His motives unknown , Mithun Ambani was making his moves on the chessboard.
with his secret backing of the Orange technologies ….. What would happen in the next upcoming war with this variable is something that is yet to be seen.
/// Authors thoughts : Sorry for the late chapter guys , was busy today. Also keep an eye out for the Mithun Ambani character , wont spoil anything for you all , just telling you because in the next story arc his movements would be very subtle , you need to have a lookout for connecting the big picture.
