Chapter 472: The Secret Behind Dronacharya
The reason why dronacharya was soo repulsed by Shakuni was because ever since he got the future memories in this world , nothing was going as it was supposed to be going , and no memories from his past life could help him in his journey to the top.
Dronacharya was someone with future knowledge just like Shakuni, however the difference was that he was not the reincarnator himself.
On the day the third system update happened in Omega , and the VR Olympics and other expansion packs were announced , Dronacharya was caught inside the game due to a technical glitch and unable to logout during the duration of the update.
The system update was a time where , nobody was supposed to be inside Omega , however unfortunately for Dronacharya , he was the only exception.
What followed was a series of painful experiences that made him almost loose his sense of self as memories not belonging to him flooded his mind , trying to take over his body.But after battling with the foreign memories for a long time , he was able to come out on top , as the foreign memories and knowledge was suppressed inside him.
What followed was him becoming the prophet. Using the memories of one ‘ Parallax ‘ to his advantage in his levelling journey.
What should have happened was that Parallax should have been able to reincarnate into his own body before his downfall began at the hands of Shakuni before the VR Olympics, changing the future with his knowledge. However in an unforeseen turn of events , he was caught inside a foreign body who resisted his souls hostile takeover.
The result was dronacharya gaining knowledge about the game 5 years into the future. Uptill the point where after the Elites unified half the nothern continent , and after a humiliating defeat Parallax committed suicide.
Parallax’s memories contained a vivid description of how a genius was put down by his showoff. As uptill his death , people bullied him for being the torch-bearer of the first VR Olympics.
Dronacharya learned the fact that showing off kills one’s career , as he could feel the deep resentment that Parallax had for everyone that bullied him to no ends once his eventual demise began.
That was the reason why dronacharya resoluted himself to never take the path of a shining star , and always stick to the shadows. However to calm the foreign soul inside his body , he promised him to exact revenge on the elites on his behalf.
What followed was a time of rapid growth for Dronacharya as he built an empire in the next year that followed.
The elites in his future knowledge waged a huge war to annex Nineclouds kingdom and Aquahose Kingdom , while conquering Ghost kingdom soon after expanding their influence extremely fast in a span of only three years.
The guilds that had their kingdoms conquered were left useless with extreme debuffs and without any territory to control, resulting in them having deep resentment for the Elites.
However that did come to bite the Elites back , as a year later. A large coalition of guilds waged a huge war to reclaim the lost land , in a war that reached epic proportions and the Elites suffering their first defeat and loosing control over the Ghost Kingdom.
However the importance of this event for Dronacharya was not these memories , the importance was that for all these loosing guilds to coexist,?they shared deeply disturbing knowledge about their organization’s to one another that would prevent them from betraying one another.
If such knowledge was made public it was sure to destroy the upper echelons career inside Omega and even the real world , hence that information share was the biggest gain that dronacharya had. With parallax being one of the participants of the event.
Using that as a basis for blackmail , dronacharya slowly gained one guild after another as his followers , building his empire in the dark. To avoid any betrayals or damaging information leaks , dronacharya made the leaders sign a non disclosure in the game , while transferring 51% of the guilds share under his name to solidify his position as owner.
Dronacharya was careful to only pick guilds where he could extort them into submission and whose guild share structure was accomodating of such a takeover and not all the guilds that had participated in the event.
He did not extort the guilds , instead helped them grow even faster , which resulted in the guilds slowly forgetting about the hostile takeover , as dronacharya kept increasing his personal wealth and collecting the means that were deployed in the eventual war where the Elites had lost.
Understanding things about the nature of the elites from parallax’s memories , dronacharya knew that the guild was always full of surprises and cards that they had not even displayed yet. But he knew all the cards that the Elites had in advance , as well as all the mistakes they were to make in the future.
Already buying stake in the guild , he had made a series of intricate plans to have the eventual downfall of the guild. As his ultimate goal was the legendary ruins beneath Purplehaze city , that were discovered by the Elites accidentally years later.
If dronacharya could have his hands on those ruins and the territory the Elites controlled. He would finally be able to come out of the darkness and take his place as the true king.
Dronacharya wanted to be king. He wanted to be Shakuni , however his inability to be Shakuni , made him jealous beyond all reason. He was envious of his natural talent and skills to make such a big empire with nothing while he could only wait in the shadows to take him down.
However unlike the stupid triads and Parallax , dronacharya was a rational man. Who would not let his jealousy cloud his judgement and sense of self.
Cautious , Calm and cunning , dronacharya had the patience to first lay the groundwork of his plan and only then continue forward to plan the Elites’s demise.
A series of plans , that would make the odds shift extremely favourably for the final war into his hands.
Dronacharya ‘s plan was to route the Elites out of Purplehaze city , just like the Elites had routed countless other guilds out of theirs!
