After settling immediate matters like setting up relief supply centres and establishing a crew to help with safety testing all burnt houses , Rudra logged out of the game.
The sheer exhaustion of the war and the crazy month he had hit Rudra all at once , when he looked at the bed of his room. His body smelled like he just took a swim in the gutter , apparently because he was gaming for 5 days continuously.
The new VR pod made it possible for him to do so however the ventilation of the pod was bad. His body expelled waste in the form of sweat since the other process could not be used while gaming , and as a result Rudra came out smelling like gutter.
A thorough bath rejuvinated his mind and body a lot , however the moment he closed his eyes under the shower only brutality of the war flashed between his eyes.
To say that Rudra was a changed man , would not be underestatement , as he felt colder as a human . It was harder to connect to other humans when u just spent countless hours killing them . It was almost like the more he killed , the more the human inside him died as well.
Rudra seriously considered hiring a therapist for all guild members , as if he had such sad thoughts then the majority of the guild must be doing even worse than he was.
Rudra just wanted to sleep after taking his bath , but knowing that he had not met his family for 5 days , he dragged his tired body downstairs to see his mom.
Mrs Rajput was baffled by seeing Rudra , it was almost like her son returned from a buisness trip , everytime he logged out of the game . She hugged him tight , as she felt how tired his son was.
No words needed to be spoken between the two , as mrs Rajput was someone who knew what Rudra wanted to say even before he learnt how to speak , and nothing had changed even if he grew up.
Although incredibly proud , Mrs Rajput stopped asking Rudra about the game since the VR Olympics , as she felt that her son did not want them to understand the complicated world that Omega was .
Unable to properly explain in what kind of trouble he was constantly In , and having to think about how to convey what he was doing in the game , Mrs Rajput found it best to just find things out through tv and media and not ask her son about it.
As a result , in the Rajput mansion , the family talked about everything except Omega. Which somehow always ended in Rudra having to flee the discussion when the topic came about his marriage.
Mother Rajput cooked a special dinner for Rudra today , as Rudra sat down with his father and hanged out in the living room. When his father said something that left Rudra completely speechless.
Apparently the news channel his father was watching was covering a story about how some guy married an NPC in Omega and the like. How their daily life was , what the player would do , along with inappropriate questions about the duo's nightlife.
His father scoffed looking at the tv as he said " Can you believe this son? The kids these days are into women that are literally binary data and that too not even human. Look at this pointy ear elf , how can humans marry elves. It's like marrying orangutans in the real world. Soo what if 98% DNA is the same , they are not the same species, creeps i tell you , complete 100% perverts , virgins who can't get action in real life. Scum , disgrace to humanity ".
Rudra started to choke on his own saliva by his dad's comments . What would happen when his father found out that he was also one of the people that he just described.
The sad part was his dad was right , he was a virgin who could not get action in real life , however he could not just let his face drop infront of his father by admitting this fact … Hence he said " Absolutely dad , it's ridiculous " .
At this point his mother chimed in saying " Oh , I'm glad my son is not one of these creeps . What would I do if my daughter in law was a game character . My god , who would do the dishes then , who would I spend time with bit***** about the dress Sheetal wore yesterday.
Mahendra be proud , our son might be weak in the women department , but atleast he is not a weirdo …. ".
At this point Rudra felt like he was going to spit a mouthful of blood as he decided to bolt from the room , running into little Max who was making a sandcastle in the garden of the house.
Max looked at Rudra rushing out and pointed innocently at the wet mud he was piling , smiling with his broken teeth , showing Rudra his mound proudly , saying " My kingdom , big brother ".
Rudra chuckled as he ruffled Max's hair on his way out , his brother was too cute to handle. However when he saw two little girls peeking from outside his house towards max , his expression darkened.
Apparently the little one had stalkers now , and he was not even at the age where his tool was functional. Rudra could smell trouble as he was growing up , the kid had a complete playboy vibe.
The girls ran away when they saw Rudra squinting at them , but the fact that they said ' creepy uncle , run '. Before they ran away , left Rudra with a black face.
Apparently today was not his day , as he was running into embarrassing situations one after the other. Talking about which , he just ran into Yua , who just like the two little girls was stalking Rudra's house . But being older and more mature , made it look like she met him by accident while she was on a jog.
Which made it more awkward when Naomi who was actually on a jog , saw the two chatting outside Rudra's house.
When yua saw Naomi and the two locked eyes , sparks instantly flew in the air , as the Atmosphere turned awkward .
