Chapter 2 - New World and New Beginnings

[The hosts level and skills decreased to beginner level]

[The Ranger/Gunslinger class imported and bound to the host]

The host can check the details by saying " status" said the voice.

Bhairav nodded and said "status".

Immediately status opened and he could see his stats and skills

Bhairav looked at his status window and thought it is different from the game. Along with that passive skills are different.

He looked at the students and is able to observe their status and class. He stood up and went to the canteen to buy food. He also saw that everyone has their own status window. He observed that he has been transported to a parallel world similar to earth but the education involved combat, dungeon exploration and many other things.

Bhairav smiled because this is a new opportunity for him. The bullies entered the canteen and saw Bhairav eating his food on the table. Bhairav looked at them and checked their status.

Rajath is a Level 20 Fighter, Akram Level 15 Barbarian, John Level 15 Rogue and Venu Level 18 Sorcerer.

Bhairav understood that he is no match for them now but he will definitely make them pay for insulting his mother.

Bhairav also realized that he did not have any weapons. The bullies had weapons equipped on their bodies. They were about to come and bully Bhairav when the English teacher entered the canteen.

The bullies cursed their luck because they could not do whatever they wanted with Bhairav. Bhairav was relieved. Bhairav sadistically smiled and thought "Just wait bastards I am going to bury 4 of you 100 feet underground".

Since he was only in the 6th grade in the school their class determination has not been done. He obtained this information after going and studying in the library and some enquiry. A person cannot see others status window and no one will tell about their class to others nor others can see someone else's status. Only Bhairav is the exception to this rule as he can see their classes, levels and even their skills.

After enquiring the details he went back with a sadistic smile on his face. The time was 5:30pm and his mother was at work.

He looked towards the photo of Lord Shiva and did a Namaskara. He spoke to the photo and said "Oh Mahadeva you have given me what I wished for that day. So I will make good use of my skills and abilities and fight for my loved ones and for doing good. The path I will take may not be fair and justified but I will definitely will not become evil. I will not become a hero or a villain but I will become something in between them so that no one can look down on me and my family".

After saying that he went to a internet center "Webnet" near his house and paid some money. He got one of the cabins and started researching about how to earn huge amounts of money with his classes.

After surfing for 15 minutes he got the answers he wanted. In this world huge amounts of money can be earned through raiding the dungeons but a person needs to be at least 14 years of age for that. There are adventurers guilds, hunters guilds and mercenary corps all over the world. A person needs to be 14 years to join one of these organizations.

Since he is only 11 years of old he cannot join them but there is a place he can earn money even if he is only 11 years old. The "shadow guild" a legal guild but with notorious history of illegal actions. A person can join this guild or work as a freelancer for this guild. But the disadvantage of being a freelancer is that the guild takes 40% as commission for the tasks taken. If a person joins this guild they definitely need to work for at least 3 years and not allowed to come out in the middle but the commission taken by the guild will only be 5% and the remaining money will be given the person.

This felt completely fishy to Bhairav and he also came to an understanding that after 3 years of service the person will be either brought into the inner circle of crime or they will be killed without anyone knowing.

Bhairav knew that he did not want to be under the whims of anyone or get bullied again. He is going to work for the shadow guild but as a freelancer. He did not care if they took 40% commission because he is going to do dungeon raids many times so that he would have lots of money even after 40% commission.

Since the final exams are going to be held in a week he decided to enroll in that guild after the exams are completed. He went back home and found his mother cooking.

He went to her and greeted Good evening. She smiled and said "Good evening how are you doing in studies?"

"It's ok but I will be studying from today for the upcoming exams and after that I pass the exams I will be leaving this school" he replied.

Leelavathi widened her eyes and asked "Why are you leaving the school?" desperately. Since he has been transported the school name of his has changed to "Veerendra adventure school".

He looked at his mother with a smile and said "Since 7th grade is where my class will be tested I decided I will go to a Mercenary school".

Leelavathi was a bit startled but not surprised because she knew her son has endured a lot and fees of Mercenary schools is less compared to adventure and hunter schools. The reason for the less fees is because Mercenaries take work contracts from government and many other groups irrespective of the groups illegal activities so Mercenaries are paid much more than adventurers and hunters.

The government poured more money into Mercenary schools compared to Adventure and Hunter schools. Due to enough funding the Mercenary schools had high level technology and education with fee less than other school.

Leelavathi decided to ask one question "You are leaving because of them, right?" Bhairav looked at his mother and said "Those pests are only half of the reason, the other half is because if we do not have power and money every bastard will trample over us".

Bhairav's expression changed to a sadistic smile and said "You have complained about those bullies to the principal of the school but did he do anything?"

Leelavathi was shocked as she made sure that Bhairav did not know but the reality was opposite. Leelavathi with a shocked expression asked "When did you come to know that?"

Bhairav with the same smile said "So my guess was right that you complained against those bullies".

She was shocked again because Bhairav brought the truth out of her mouth. Bhairav clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

There was anger inside him. He looked at her with a serious expression and said "So money speaks even the school huh".

After few seconds anger subsided and he started laughing maniacally. Leelavathi was afraid seeing her son like this as this is the first time he behaved like this.

After laughing and with a smile he looked at her and said " Now you understand without power and money this society will look down on you. Oh I going to grow so much powerful and have so much money that I will look down on those rich and arrogant pricks with my leg on their head"

He said that and went to his room. The reason he decided to join the shadow guild as freelancer is because though his mother may be earning enough for the family it is not enough to take care of school fees.

The amount of debt piled on the family is Rs30 lakhs. So the only way he can make things right is by shadow guild missions. He decided to endure the bullies torture for another two weeks but before leaving the school he is definitely going to make them pay for insulting his mother.

His mother brought food into his room and left without a word. Though he felt bad behaving like that in front of his mother he needed to show her the reality of the society. After eating his food he slept.
