The location of the secret dungeon was about 5kms into the dense jungle and although Rudra had a general idea , he did not know the absolute location of the cave. Hence he had to take his time and explore.

As he was exploring he saw a party fighting a White Aplha wolf of level 5 .

The party consisted of 6 players all level 2 or 3 and were having a extremely difficult time against the wolf.

At first Rudra did not wish to interfere but seeing that 2 of the 6 party members died he decided to help them, as for him it was not a big deal.

As the wolf was about to attack what seemed like the party leader , a beautiful slender girl , Rudra suddenly jumped infront of her and hit the wolf with a slash, which the wolf dodged in time and stepped back.

The party of four were stunned , who was this guy jumping here out of the blue and what was his purpose??

" Get out of here stranger the wolf is too strong" said the girl

" I will be fine " said Rudra as he sprung into action

-40,-50,-50 a string of damage appeared

The observers were stunned, how was his damage soo high , they could not even have a damage of -5 on the wolf.

The way he dodged and the way he countered within 3 minutes he solo slayed the wolf

The party of four stared at him mouth agape only now they realized that they did not help him in the fight at all, but looking at the loot they were tempted to just kill him and take it for themselves

But not touching the loot Rudra started to just walk away.

"WAIT!" shouted the party leader ... " you forgot your loot"

Rudra turned , surprised technically the loot did belong to him , but the party having the moral integrity to indeed offer him the loot meant they were good people

As he looked at the party leader he noticed her beautiful face her hazel brown eyes and her dark brown hair ...in her leather armour.... she looked like an ancient beauty straight out of medieval times.

Only upon closer look did he realize she was 'PinkLotus' , the legendary guild leader of the. ' Azure Forest ' Guild , the number one guild in Hazelgroove kingdom in his past life. The daughter of the multimillionaire buisnessman owning a huge steel mining company.

The fairy who had countless admirers , and now here he was face to face with her , what he did not realize was he was staring at her face for a long time which made ' PinkLotus ' blush .

Only when her party member couged did he snap out of his daze

" Dont need it , its yours" he said

" If i may ask , what level are you at ? " asked Pinklotus

"6" replied Rudra

"WHAA" audible gasps from everyone could be heard, they were grinding continuously since the game s launch but they were barely level 3 , even the most formidable experts were only level 4 but this guy was aldready level 6 and skilled at soloing a level 5 wolf at that.

He was a true bigshot.

" Hey which organization are you from?"she asked

She thought for him to be such a strong player he must have a solid backing

"None , im a solo " said Rudra

This shocked many onlookers, they looked at Rudra with more respect now ..... he was truly talented.

" Will you be interested in joining my guild then? I will pay you 20 thousand dollars a month salary and offer you a core member position... My guild is called 'Azure Forest' and it is one of the strongest gaming guilds".

It was an excellent offer .... aldready triple of what his previous life guild offered him .... along with a high position ..... to be honest he was tempted, as joining would save him a lot of struggles but he had bigger goals ..... for his mother 20k a month would not cut it.

" No , i plan to start my own guild someday ..... my apologies " said Rudra

"Think again friend its a great offer... i agree you have skills but you need a strong backing and money " said a guy in lotus's party.

She was dissapointed ... such a strong player without a backing was very difficult to find but if he did not wish to join .... what could she do?

she could not force him could she..... still reluctant to let him go she said

" We can negotiate your salary if you want more.."

Rudra was really really tempted but he stayed firm

"Maybe next time , maam". he said

sigh... Pinklotus was dissapointed however she said

" Let me add you as a friend, i owe you one for today... if you ever need my help , you can call on me".

He then recieved a system prompt

He pressed yes and waved goodbye

" 'Shakuni' huh ... I will see you around then " she murmured .

Rudra could not believe he befriended fairy pinklotus

if his dormmates from last life would get to know about this they would die from envy.

Last life he was one of her countless admirers who would fight tooth and nail only to talk to her once , but this life on the very first day of his gaming the fairy herself added him as a friend.

WHAT CRAZINESS !!!

He was almost skipping around in the forest now , if someone from Pinklotus's party saw him right now his image of a cool guy would be shattered in an instant .

But what could he do he was just soo happy.... soo happy that only when he reached the entrance of the cave required for the mission did he realize that he needed to complete the quest.

His plans were just starting he could not be content with this bit of success... the road was long and the journey was just starting.

With determination in his eyes and resolve in his will he braved himself for the coming dangers... he entered the cave and at the end saw a small hole in the ground

Upon looking from the top it just seemed like a small pit but only he knew it was the entrance to a secret dungeon

He jumped in

and heard a system prompt
