Tak! The branch manager got up. He sighed in relief that the situation died down pretty fast. He stared at Dhruv with red eyes before moving into the city.
All the players looked at Dhruv for orders. They once again realized the devil that was behind the little commander.
Dhruv was shaking a little. This was the first time he saw his brother like that. It felt like he was watching someone else.
It would be a lie if he said he was not shocked. No shock was an underestimation, it was fear. Those dead eyes and thirst for destruction in them were not normal.
He realized the brother in the game was not the same as at home. Soon he calm down and smiled. He was very happy. All this time, he always worried that those bad guys would misuse the brother's talent.
For the past month, he heard so much bad about his brother and his brother never replied directly. He always thought his brother was in a position where he had no power, but he was wrong.
His brother knew how to deal with these bad guys. A burden lifted from his chest. All this time he kept blaming himself for all the brother's problems, but now was the time was waiting for.
'To stand with my brother and help him as an equal.' Tears fell from his eyes, which he quickly wiped out.
One player asked him, "Lil commander are you alright?"
He closed his eyes and thought, 'Can I be the same as my brother? I don't think it's possible.' he opened his eyes. 'It's better to do things my way.' He looked around and said to others in a calm tone, "What are you guys wasting time on? Call the other guy and get ready for the war. We will not go down until we show the world our power. Am I right?"
One guy said, "Yes, we will show our power to the world."
"Yeah, we train for a month. We can't just back down last moment."
"I will make sure to kill those 10 of those blaze bastards."
Dhruv moved his hand and announced, "Let's go it wartime. Let's show our power!"
There was a second-long silence and then, "Yeah, let go! Yeah, let go! Yeah, let go!"
All the players dispersed. Only Dhruv and 2 strategists left there.
Dhruv said to one of them, "Spread the information to the media about the advance broadcasting."
The guy nodded his head and moved away from there.
Dhruv turn to the last guy and said, "I want you to inform the branch manager about the battle plan. We need him to lead one part of the army."
"Yes, little commander." The guy bow down and moved away from there.
Dhruv looked around and found Mike and Vice left standing there.
Dhruv walked to them. He turned to Mike and said, "Don't worry much about brother. He will not kill you or do something bad. At most, he forced you to work for him and follow his orders for a few years."
Both Mike and Vice gulped down and glanced at each other. 'how can man slavery not be a big deal?' They understood both brothers were not normal.
He turned to Vice and said, "I believe the bother gave to some separate order."
Vice scratched his head, "No sir. The boss only told me to stay alive."
"Stay alive." Dhruv mumbled and said, "Well then, you guys will stand at the back with reinforcements."
"ahh okay." Vice nodded his head.
Dhruv stared at him and Vice stared back.
After some time, Vice asked, "Is there any problem?"
Dhruv said, "You received your order, then why are you standing here?"
"Oh, I will go then." Vice rushed away from there.
Dhruv turned to Mike and said, "Bother have high hopes for you guys. I hope you will not disappoint him. "
Mike said in a low tone, "We will try our best."
Dhruv nodded. "Call your bandmates. You guys will follow me the entire war, and one more thing, Bother is the 10th Daemon prince of Abyss guild."
Dhruv walked away from there, leaving the shell-shocked Mike there.
…
Grave stood in front of a massive old temple with huge metal doors that were closed. This was the 'temple of challenges'. Every player could come here to challenge their tier-up trial.
There were many NPCs here, they were responsible for cleaning the area around the temple. This temple gate would always remain closed and only open when someone successfully passed their trial.
Not wasting time, he walked up closer to the temple. He touched the metal gate with his hand.
Ding!
[Player detected… Checking the conditions…
Condition met, Player Grave can take the trial.
Current tire -> Tier 0.
Do you want to take your first trial to become tier 1? (no. of attempts taken- 0)
(Yes/No)
]
"Yes"
As he selected the gate opened a little, and he got sucked into the darkness.
Sometime later, the darkness cleared up, and he found himself in a massive forest.
He tried to look around, but his vision was blurry. Instead of color, he sensed the heat wave coming out of everything around him.
He tried speaking, but there was only a hissing sound. He found himself in the body of a small snake.
Ding! Ding!
[All the skills are blocked till the trial is finished.]
[Tier 1 Challenge.
Task description: You, the master of serpents, will have to like the life of the serpent and survive for 1 day in the forest of simplicity.
(Caution: The moment you died or went out of the forest of Simplicity you will fail the task.)
Reward: Tier 0 -> Tier 1. (other rewards will depend based on performance.)
Failed: You will permanently lose 100 health points.

[Time in trial temple flow faster than game time.
1 day in the trial was 4 hours in the game.]
Grave smiled at the task. This task was very easy to pass. All he had to do was hide and he will clear the task, but his performance will be bad.
But getting a higher rating was also very easy. The first trial was designed to test player knowledge and familiarity with their main class.
For him, the dungeon master, it was all about my knowledge of the snakes and their behaviors. Even in his last time, he easily got an A rank clearance.
There were E ranks that represent barely pass. Players with this rank only receive the basic tier-up reward.
Then come to the D and C ranks that mid-rank clearance. Players with this rank receive some extra stats reward + E rank clearance reward.
Then come B and A ranks that High-rank clearance. Players with this rank receive the option to choose a class + reward of medium ranks.
The rank above will decide the ranks of sub-classes you got to choose from.
In his last life, he got an A rank and select a decent subclass. This time, he wanted to get as much high rank as possible. He closed all the notifications and started moving into the forest.
After some time he located a hidden spot full of sunlight. He moved there and coiled around to rest. That was all he had to do in the morning. Snakes were there the cold-blooded creatures that needed sunlight to warm their bodies. He would start hunting in the night.
