"Welcome to T&D Studio", shouted Rishabh looking at the new recruitment in front of him. After the opening, his schedule become little tense, and started to recruit people, most of them are either orphan or have tensed financial situation thanks to the periodic lockdown.

"So let's start with general introduction, first I am Rishabh, and this is how I look like inside the game", he said while opening the screen, which have some description about his character, Pinaka.

"This…", was speechless. Looking at them, he said, "I know that your are all speechless, but please remember the document you have signed, so please don't reveal my identity to anyone."

After which one by one twenty other members of the studio introduced themselves. There are ten players for the combat arm, two executives who would also play game after this, and eight non-combat players mainly chef, merchant, etc. Looking at them, a girl named 'FairyBlue' attracted his attention, as he felt the name familiar.

Inside Dreamland,

Rishabh chose to take a mission, and found a one, in which he have to deliver a letter to the small village at some distance from the city.

Just as he reached the city gate, few players blocked his path. Just then he heard, "Hey, You Pinaka", a boy with red hair walked towards him, with the black spear on his back.

"Why are you blocking my path?" Rishabh asked calmly.

"I would like to invite you for hunting, we have found a…", before the boy could even complete his sentence Rishabh rejected him. "I can't follow you, I have accepted a quest, so please step aside", and tried to walk.

*Swish*

Spear tip stopped few inch away from Rishabh's neck, and the boy said maliciously, "it seems you don't know about me. I am famous in the game community…"

*Shatter*

The spear's blade broke into the pieces, and instead of falling, the scraps are floating in air, before it injured all the players near him. Rishabh started to walk towards the arrogant kid, while passing he said, "I am in good mood today. So I would recommend you to don't enrage me, otherwise the consequences will be dire", and released the aura full of killing intent.

After he disappeared from the sight of all the players, did the others recovered, while and at same time there gaze fall on the metallic spear whose first half in broken into pieces, without leaving its holder. One of them asked, "How did he do it?"

"You can come out now", Rishabh said after travelling some distance away from city. Without getting any response, he casually throws the stone, towards the trees behind him. Soon, a black shadow jumped down, followed by few more. Each wearing black attire, with there leader in the scarlet leather armor.

All of them are pale, similar to corpses, with the smell of blood lingering on them. He also noticed the fang, while there finger tips are black, except the few.

"How did you notice us?" asked the leader.

"Who are you?" Rishabh asked once again, looking at them.

"Oh, a tough guy, huh", before the leader could even complete his sentence. He heard a loud explosion, and saw several of his lackeys are on ground, with some being headless.

"You are powerful…"

"Vampires", Rishabh said looking at the vampire who slowly disintegrated leaving the blood crystal, and asked in confusion, "I don't seem to do anything which should have attracted…."

"Oh I see. That black mage, and ferocious lady, it was your doing right?" Rishabh asked with smirk on his face, as if he had found something interesting.

"Attack, he knows too much", and soon all the vampires dashed towards Rishabh with only vampires noble left behind.

*BOOM*

His aura exploded like a bomb, throwing all the vampires away, while some being either dead or seriously injured. While, several vampires nobles are pressed down to kneel, except for the two who manage to resist the pressure.

One of them tried to ran away while transforming into bat, but was split into half. Seeing this, the another noble said, "Wait. We can talk…"

Killing all the other vampires, Rishabh said, "it is you who provoked me first. I am leaving you alive, in hope to end this conflict, otherwise…" Rishabh just flicked its head throwing him away.

Taking a deep breathe, he resumed his journey. "Oh, right what was the name of that bastard", he tried to recall it but failed, without noticing that he never gave them chance to introduce themselves.
