 Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.
 [Kakashi: He's at it again, right?]
 [Gaurav: Yeah... but it's a bit different this time.]
 A question was sent in the chats, and the answer to that arrived right after.
 They were talking about something or someone who was the most renowned person in this area, if not the entire northern region.
 It was Alex Matthew, and from what one could tell, he was up to something again.
 [Himesh: Um... what happened, guys?]
 But not everyone knew what was happening. Some people were simply trying to amass points, not focusing on the things going around in the world.
 They were the people who had already accepted that they weren't getting anywhere near completing the quest, so the only thing left to do was power up the best they could.
 And honestly, many people grew really strong due to this. The area with Muzaffarnagar at its center might as well be the area with the highest average level value, all thanks to Alex.
 Most of the time, when people see an insurmountable wall in front of them, they break, but when they are pressed against a wall, making it a life-and-death situation, then they try their hardest to jump past the wall, even if they have to die in the process.
 If they died in the process, they would still be able to say that they died trying.

 This Himesh was among the group of people who had been constantly clearing zones without taking a rest.
 [Najib: Well, @Himesh, they were talking about Alex. That guy seemed to be collecting coins from others again.]
 Someone replied to the guy's question only to make him more confused.
 [Himesh: Ah, what do you mean? Can someone explain to me what's actually going on? Is Alex going around collecting money again?]
 Himesh knew well about Alex's last round of collecting coins, and he knew that those coins would only protect them from Alex's blade for around 24 hours.
 But was he really going to do it again, knowing full well that it might not be good for him?
 [Roshan: Not really. This time it's different; he isn't going around to collect them, people are walking up to him to give him the coins...]
 Soon, the guy received a reply, but that reply left him bewildered.
 [Himesh: Wut..?]
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm. Why would someone want to lose their coins willingly? Why would they go to them when they know that they are going to have to give up their coins?
 Himesh will get his answers from the people in the chat, but what is Alex doing right now?
 "You want to go in? If so, then it will cost you 5000 coins."
 He was standing next to a tree with his shoulder resting on it as he glanced at the next guy in line. And when it's said a line, it means a line of people—around 100 people.
 All of them are here for just one thing: trying to clear the sub-scenario.
 "Yes!"
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> The guy replied with an earnest look, his eyes bright with determination. He had talked with the guys who went inside before him, and from that, he knew which areas were already checked, so he just needed to look for the other areas; maybe he would turn out to be lucky.
 The guy forwarded his finger, and Alex, after staring at it for a while, touched it with his own finger. As soon as he saw his coins increasing by 5,000, he nodded his head.
 "Alright, you're good to go."
 The guy rushed into the forest as soon as he heard Alex's words, but no one was really surprised by it, as that was what they were supposed to do.
 Alex had started a game of a sort.
 It all started with a girl sneaking into this area, hoping to secretly search for the egg and become the dark horse of the game by shattering it. Unfortunately for her, Alex had just gone for a stroll in the area at that time, and she was caught.
 But the moment she was caught, she spoke in a hurry.
 "I-I will give you a 1000 coin; please let me live!"
 That was what gave Alex a new idea of earning coins without even having to move out of this area.
 People already knew about the egg being in the area by now. His presence here was the best proof of it, so now that he couldn't get out of there, what could be better than earning coins while still staying in the area?
 So he let the girl go in exchange for the coins but told her about the game and also asked her to spread the word and she'd get a free try.
 She died at his hands in the end, but she did fulfill her purpose, and it was to spread the word about this game.
 The rules were simple:
 1 - You can sneak into the area if you want to and search however much you want, but if you are caught, then you'll have to pay 1000 coins—that, however, would only work for the first time. If you tried to sneak in again and were caught, then only death awaits.
 2 - The second one was the easier option. You can pay a sum of 5,000 coins—a lot for many people, but looking at the sub-scenario's reward, it was not really much; the 10,000 coins from the reward alone was enough to cover it up.
 In this option, you can try as many times as you want, and you get 10 minutes to search for the egg every time you pay 5,000 coins, but you need to be out of the area after your time has ended or you'll be killed by Alex.
 These were the rules of the game, and many people were willingly participating in the hope of getting their hands on the egg.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> "Will he be able to get the egg?"
 As soon as the guy's back vanished into the forest, the people in the line started whispering to each other, wondering what the results might be this time.
 "He might. The ones who entered before him seemed to be talking to him about something."
 "They were probably a team, and they are trying to clear this area by diving the workload."
 Many people were forming teams, and just like the ones in the line knew about it, Alex knew about it as well, but he didn't say anything to them.
 They can form teams if they want to, and they can even try to attack him; they won't get anything no matter what.
 Alex was changing; he was becoming trickier to deal with now.
 He wasn't killing people directly; he was using them now. He would threaten them and use them, and only when they had exhausted all the use they could be, he would kill them.
 That was the reason why there were more and more gods starting to watch him right now, sponsoring coins as well.
 They were finally seeing something other than killing in Alex's life now.
 Alex, on the other hand, just waited for the ten minutes to run out with his eyes subtly glancing up at the tip of the trunk of the tree he was leaning on.
 The thing they were all searching for was right here in front of them all along; they just couldn't see it.</div>
