MMORPG: Rise of The Dungeon Master.



In the game, Dhruv looked at the branch manager in silence. 

The branch manager looked at him with a pale face, glanced at the two guards beside him, and said, "Lil sir, we have recent news regarding the Blaze guild." 

Dhruv nodded his head. "Yeah, I heard them attacking 3 cities 2 days later.." 

"No, it's old," the branch manager shook his head, "Lil sir. 3 days later they challenged 8 cities. 5 Tier 3 cities, and 3 TIRE 2 cities." 

Dhruv frowned and just nodded his head. 

The branch manager wait for him to speak but seeing him not saying he asked in concern, "What with sir? When will he come back? I think Blaze will challenge us soon?" 

Dhruv shook his head. "I don't know about brother. It seems he might not come back." 

"Waaaaat, how can he do that? Who will guide us in the war, then?" The branch manager asked in concern. 

Dhruv said nothing and just looked down at the table. At this time, one of the male guards on his left shouted at the branch manager, "What do you mean by guide? Did you forget about commander?" 

The girl guard beside also chimed in, "I believe in commander."

The manager just looked at them awkwardly, then at Dhruv. Dhruv rubbed his forehead at his new power and clicked his fingers. Both guards shrunk back and came to his hand. He opened his head and there were 2 chess pieces in his hand: 1 rook and 1 bishop. 

These 2 pieces were his additional guards and the power that he gained after completing the tier-up trial. His power was his gaining his personal army but right now there were only these 2 pieces and both of them packed too much power. They could take on many other players of the same level once their power was combined. He was confident to take on over 100 players alone. 

The trial was so tough that even after so much preparation, he almost failed, but the rewards he got made him stop complaining. 

He could not believe that his somewhat rare class gained so much power from the power-up. He was very excited to show his new power to his brother, but to his bad luck, his brother was still busy with his stuff. 

"Lil sir, can you tell me for sure if sir will take part in the war or not?" The branch manager asked in a defeated tone. 

He shook his head at him, "Last time, the brother told me he could only join at the last moment before, that it was hard to tell if he will join the war or not." 

The branch manager slumped down in his chair. He threw some papers on the table with a red face. "fck this mysterious blaze guild is so bizarre. It will attack 11 cities in 3 days. The fucking thing was it's not even targeting Algoma city only. Fcking trolls."

Dhruv said in a deep tone, "Brother told me that if he did not come, then not participate in war and just surrender the city." 

"What?" the branch manager got up in shock. The manager looked at him with bulging eyes. "How can we just surrender after so much training? Didn't he know once they conquer the city they will get 1 month of protection and it will be all over for us at that point!!!" 

Dhruv said in a calm tone, "No point panicking, manager. It was better to observe what kind of guild we are dealing with, then decide." 

"Sigh," the branch manager dropped back to his chair, "I am sorry lil sir and you are right let's observer them first." 

Both of them sat in silence just scrolling the forum trying to find more about new sensations. The Blaze guild became an overnight sensation after their first announcement and now, with a second announcement, they were just on fire.

There were so many rumors going around in the forum that it became hard to keep up. 

Dhruv stopped going through his mobile and got up. He looked at the fatty manager. "I will do some warm-up drills with those guys. Just inform me if something concrete came up." 

Manager nodded his head. Dhruv got out of the manager's room and walked out of the guildhall. 

There was complete silence on the road. The past 20 + days were a nightmare for normal players. Many even begged of them to let them leave the city but all get one kill without giving them any chance. 

Now most of the city wanted Abyss to lose the city war, and they were excited to see news about the Blaze guild, but no one openly showed up in the city.

He walked out of the city and saw many players in black clothes killing other normal players that trying to run away from them. He smiled at the familiar sight and moved deep into the forest. 

…

Outside, Roan was on his bed with a pen and notepad in his hand. He continued to scribble on the notepad for some time and then tore the paper and crumbled it to the side.  I think you should take a look at

They were his plans on how to deal with future conditions. He even researched more about snakes living in forests or the environment full of trees. He wanted to guess what kind of being would come out in the space village. 

After some time, he stopped scribbling and jumped back into the game. He tried to log in but it show a red warning and not allowed him to log in. He jumped out and waited for more time. After 1 hour, there was finally no warning, and he got logged into the game. 

In the game, Grave opened his eyes and looked, and he found himself in an enormous bubble surrounded by some dark green liquid full of massive bubbles. 

The liquid outside the bubble was so dense that not much visible outside. He walked to the edge of the bubble and carefully poked it with his hand. He felt a solid feeling concrete feeling from the bubble edge and tried to push it with force but it did not even bulge one mm. 

Grave took out his sword and slashed and stabbed at the bubble edge, and nothing happened. He walked back to the center of the bubble and sat there with his eyes closed and used his mana sense. To his surprise, he found the bubble was moving around the liquid here and there. 

After clearing his doubts, he opened his eyes and picked up his sword. He started training in sword movements. 

Time passed, and nothing much happened on the first day. He just continued to train.

The second day passed, and he got forced to log out of the game. 

After leaving the game, Roan took a shower and went down to eat  food. As he moved down, he found Dhruv and Aria on the table, looking up at him with bored eyes on him. 

He scratched his head, avoiding their eyes, sat on his chair, and said to Aria, "Please get me some food." 

Aria nodded her head and rushed to the kitchen. Dhruv, on the other hand, continued to stare at him.

Dhruv asked him, "Brother, are you even human?" 

He just stared at him, saying nothing. 

Dhruv mumbled to himself, "How can you starve yourself for days again and again? It's like your body gets adapted to your weird routine. Very interesting." He scorched his chin while looking at him. 

Roan said in annoyance, "I am not your lab rat." 

Dhruv shook his head. "Well, the way you fasting, I may soon force you." 

He did not look at him but Aria, who entered with plates full of food in her hand. 

He snatched food from her and started stuffing down food in his mouth. 

As he continued to eat, he felt the stares at him. He glanced around and found both Aria and Dhruv staring at him with their mouth wide open in amazement. 

He till his head in confusion and asked them, "Is there any problem?" 

Dhruv pointed to two empty plates in front of him. "You just ate 2 people's worth of food and on 3rd person potion." 

He clicked his tongue, "Come on guy, stopped looking at me like a zoo animal." 

Dhruv said to him, "No, brother, you are like some exotic animal." 

Not caring much, he bonk at Dhruv's head and ignored them, and continued to stuff food in his mouth.

"Uaaaa," he relaxed in his chair and looked around. To his surprise, he saw Dhruv still on the table. He asked him, "Is there any problem, lil bro?"

Dhruv nodded his head. "It abyss, they have challenged us. What to do now?" 

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Dhruv, tell the branch manager to take the warhead position for now. I will tell you on the last day whether or not to participate in the war. There are a few more instructions to tell the band and my team to get ready for the feast."

Dhruv nodded to him.
