Dhruv read about the sibling relationship, but he never truly experience it, or that was what he used to believe. Today he saw how once that girl signed the contract, all her brothers followed her, no question asked.
He saw in a few of their eyes that they were unwilling to sign the slave contract, but once that girl signed, all that changed. It was like they will take all the risk for her.
Even when the brother Roan commented on drugs that girl tried to defend her brother. Was this sibling love?
The harsh life and his over smart brain had made him believe that all the people want to use him. He knew his brother was the first person who did not want something from him.
'I thought that when brother's situation improve, he took me here to protect me. I was grateful, but I knew that all this depends on my brother's situation. No, I was wrong. Brother did that for me. He becomes part of the gang to provide a safe place for me. He takes this dangerous root just for me,'
It shocked Dhruv to the core. He was not someone with no sibling relations. No, his brother was there for him all the time. 'His presence in the house was my shield.' All the time his brother was in the house, no one targeted him at all because brother Roan directly or indirectly was there to take the blame.
'But what did I ever do to him? Nothing. I am worse than that girl. I never even try to help him, but he did so much for me.' Tears filled his eyes. Dhruv understood just how selfish he was. All his life, his brother was there for him, but he never helped his brother. He was a leach on his brother's life.
Tears fell from his eyes. Even when his brother's life was so miserable, but brother still protected him but…
Dhruv walked up to his room and opened the door. "I want to help, brother," Dhruv mumbled, and looked at the game pod. He did not want to be a leach on his brother's life.
The one way to help his brother was to become stronger in the game and share the burden.
Dhruv knew that this game changed the life of million over the course of 1 year and it would continue to do so. He also wanted to use this opportunity to make a name for himself.
A name that shines so brightly in the game that it scared others. Dhruv knew from the shift in economy and governance that this game was taking over the world.
He did not have the resources to form a gang in real life to protect himself, but he could increase his value so that others need to think thousand times before they try to go against him or his brother.
After thinking about all that, he jumped into the gaming pod and logged in to the game LIBERTY ONLINE.
For normal people, Liberty Online was just an online game, but for the crazy gamers and the people who understand the world situation, Liberty Online was a change. A shift to the world working.
For the past 1000s of years, there were many times this change happened throughout the economic history of the world.
A few thousand years ago, no one could believe that some paper could decide the fate of many, but it happens. Paper money ruled the world, overthrowing all past systems.
Then a few hundred years ago there was internet money that everyone believes was nothing but a scam at the start. In less than a decade, internet money replaced the 1000s years of paper money.
Now, within one year, the game money took over this world like an uncontrollable tide. The gamers that were like social outcasts were now the resources and heroes that everyone praise and want to have.
The most interesting thing was that anyone could become a hero within a moment and they could fall from there the next moment.
Dhruv opened his eyes in the game. He looked around. He was back in the beginner village. Not wasting time, he opened his friend list and when the team channel and typed.
[Commander: I want everyone in front of the gate in 30 mins.
The_Butey: Oh little commander, you are back.
Thor_fan: Haha, lil commander, you missed the chance to take revenge.
Finch: Don't worry, lil commander. You can take revenge tomorrow.
Commander: No time to waste on that trash, I want to move to the next city
Thor_fan: Ahhh, this isn't what we agreed for. What happens to revenge and making them pay?
Finch: This was so early, boss. We need to torture them for a few days.
Commander: I am not forcing anyone to come with me. #everyone. If you want to follow me, then come otherwise do your own thing. ]
Dhruv closed the chat. Currently, 50+ people were following him. Now he was not sure how many of them would come to him. The truth was, he stopped caring about his teammates from that day.
At the start, he wanted to build a team of few but powerful people, but after his brother's advice; he changed his approach. He understood that focusing on a few people that may ditch you in the future wasted so much time.
Now he just recruited anyone on the team and then assigned them different roles in groups. It was chaos at the start, but now he was improving day by day by assigning better roles.
Dhruv walked to the main gate. He sat on the bench on the side and opened the forum. All over the forum, there was fresh news of the start of the main quest at the different kingdoms throughout the 5th server.
In many kingdoms, the main event was related to some kind of infighting. On the 5th server, there were 2 massive empires and 5 larger kingdoms. There were a few small tribes here and there where players could start.
