Rudra was randomly dropped somewhere in the first layer of hell. The moment he touched the surface of the dreadfull place he got an instant system notification.

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION : You Have entered a different plane . Detected you have entered ' Hell '. The plane ruled by the devil ' Lucifer ' an environment hostile to humans .

Detected human is at tier 3.

Debuff % = 90%

All stats reduced by 90% !

Congratulations player ' Shakuni ' , to become the second player in the history of Omega to enter Hell . Acquiring the title ' Hell explorer '.

[ Hell Explorer ] ( title ) : For becoming one of the ten first people to enter the land of the condemned you are given this title.

It has no special properties!

Rudra thought ' Great.... Just great ' as he was barely able to move his body , the moment he entered this barren domain , he was instantly given a 90% debuff , However not only did he get the debuff he got an entirely useless title to go with it. But the more shocking part for him was that there was someone who had been here before him..... However ,having no clue on who it could be , Rudra did not linger on that thought for long.

Rudra instantly took the vitality pill in his inventory as he removed the debuff status from his stats pannel and his breathing and movement became easy.

Rudra was feeling as if a stone had been lifted from his chest , as his max vitality tripled and he was able to withstand the influx of dark mana in his body.

This was Rudra's position at the absolute surface of hell , a place where an almost Earth like environment was mentained. It only felt dark and gloomy , like he had entered a subterranean cave or something within Mars.

The soil color was red and soo was the color of the Atmosphere , as for as far as Rudra's eyes could see , there was only barren land without any hint of vegetation.

Rudra checked the divine tracer to find out that the heavens were merciful enough for Aman to be at the very first layer of hell. Only 65 killometers south of his position . Which roughly translated to about a half a day walk as his pet summon and mount summon features had been disabled once he entered hell.

Arming himself with the divine sword Excalibur in one hand and the Elven sword in another Rudra started to jog towards his intended location , ready to attack anything that appeared in his path.

Rudra was ready for a fight , however the real problem he had currently was that his death would mean his end of career in Omega . His death now was no different than a real death as the consequences were just that steep.

However , just like a soldier had to carry his duty on the battlefield , even if he knew the mission he was on was a suicide mission. Rudra knew he had to try complete this mission or die trying.

On the flip side ,he was having a triple HP bar , which did greatly increase his chances of survival , as well as a spell buff that would restore his HP once to full when it hits less than 10%.

With these , Rudra could assure himself , that he would atleast have a chance to flee should things go really bad . However everything was upto fate now that he was in here.

If Rudra knew what the first player to enter he'll ever was doing behind his back right now . He might have just abandoned the mission and used the key to teleport outside right at this moment. But sadly he did not . He was cut off from the world , where a sinister opponent was planning the demise of his guild in peace .

( Meanwhile on the surface )

Dronacharya recieved the greenlight that Rudra had not came outside the church of light even after entire 12 hours had passed and was most likely out on a quest.

Using this chance to stir trouble for Rudra . Dronacharya made use of his future knowledge as well as wits to craft a scenario with truth and lies mixed in to craft a perfect rumor.

Within a few hours of him spreading the rumor , the headline of every major news channel was ...

" THE LEADER OF ELITES DETAINED BY THE CHURCH OF LIGHT " - The leader of the true Elites guild and the prized fighter Shakuni has been reportedly detained by the church of light over use of forbidden dark moves.

Shakuni is often seen using the move ' Darkness bind ' and ' Dark absorb ' as a part of his moveset both of which are dark faction player only moves , that should be unavailable for a light faction knight like Rudra to use.

Reportedly the Church has arrested Shakuni on the suspicion of being a spy from the dark faction and a heretic. As the Elites have no answer regarding the wherebouts of their leader when asked about the question.

This raises a lot of questions about the leader of the elites and his Mysterious abilities , as the question of how he can use these dark moves is indeed worth pondering .

- New City Times

Karna and the other Elite elders were overwhelmed with pressure regarding releasing a statement over where Rudra was . However none of them had any clue.

The absence of Rudra to come out and clear up the rumors himself , did lead to the matter being blown out of proportion , as even after multiple tries none of the elites could contact the guild leader in game.

This led to Karna having to go out and give statements that Rudra was on a quest and not inside the church for detention . However media requested game recording footage if that was indeed the case.

The moment that Karna said that Rudra was in a place that prevented external communication. The rumors about him being in prison began to be spread.

Everything about this incident was held on the clips of Rudra using moves like darkness blast and darkness bind , which was the reality . While blown out of proportion over the speculation of why he had not came out of the church.

It was a masterstroke by dronacharya , as questions began to be raise over the powers of the leader of the elites.
