One day rest was enough to strengthen their muscles. Most of the players went in the lobby for the announcements regarding third level.

The lists were not posted about the other two teams. Global audience and the spectators were getting restless with impatience. However they could not deny that the players needed proper rest to maintain their serenity in the portal.

Jake was still in his room doing his daily task. After the task he checked the official account to take a glance. Well it was just glance that popped up his eyes with the shock. So many fans left good wished for the third level.

Many were asking for public appearance on some event. Some of them asked about his right arm and why it remained sling across the shoulder. Few doctors commented that they wanted to give him free checkup and if surgery was needed then they would do it in the best environment free of cost.

Jake read those comments and shook his head. All those years he had been dreaming to get the surgery done however despite Patina saving every buck, they were unable to save enough now the doctors were offering free services.

Such a fate made him confuse whether he should cry or laugh. Now that he has the power of the task panel and earned Exp was increasing his dexterity these doctors came to show their shitty offers.

Jake logged off after leaving a general message for all fans. He was thinking what wonders were happening in the real world. It had been three weeks that he did not went out and check what was going on.

It seemed things were changing drastically. But he did not want to go out with the defected hand. He wanted to remain in the personal space until his hand could work properly.

Jake went toward the window and removed the curtain. The bright day light fell on his face. It was giving warmth in the beginning of November.

He reckoned that he was standing at the high floor of the skyscraper. The buildings outside were also skyscrapers the life was going on as usual.

Jake was thinking about the lords of the gaming world. The made his sister commit suicide. He was now confident to let them lick the dust of their deeds.

All top games would face the rage of his revenge. Through this portal he would humiliate them as much as he could do. These thoughts were running in his head when the bell of the personal space rang.

The attendants came to clean the suite. The resident of the suite was younger boy. He was reluctant to go in the lobby or the join others at the dining hall.

For this the attendants were here to clean before the next live portal open up. If so they won't be able to come and clean because they were strictly ordered not to disturb the young boy when the live portal game was running.

The attendants changed the curtains of the windows and the sheets from the bed and sofas. One of them refilled the icebox with the fresh food items.

Jake let them clean the suite. He kept standing facing the window not wanted to let them glance at his right hand.

After some time they left. Jake checked his stats. The task panel reached fifth level. There were only two levels left. After that he would be able to buy from the task panel.

He was confident that the task panel would help in maintaining his player mood in the portal. For this he might buy something feasible for the right arm to work.

The arm was no more broken however Jake did not remove slings because he did not want to show that his right arm was worse than handicap.

He did some exercises. He was ready however there was still half a day before the opening of the third level.

Jake learned to battle with the help of present weapons. At the fifth level they could exchange the professions. There were half of the team members wanting to change their professions.

He was not sure what profession would fall in his hands after level five however he was sure that thing would change certainly.

The overall atmosphere was tight. The gaming lords would not let the third team win.

It was not just matter of game but their future in the gaming world. Most of them might never be able to lift up their heads ever. They would face humiliation because of utter defeat.

The future was bleak but now Jake could predict what was going to happen. Before this game portal there were hundred guilds on the top of the reputation charts and ten games that ruled the world of gaming.

In the first two levels the top one company faced huge loss.

They lost their exuberant price of shares. Now their shares were similar of the lowest grade games.

The CEO wanted to kill the third team however the 'Sovereign Rulers' headquarters increased the security measures in the surrounding.

They took permission from the court for special services of the security. The court granted permission because the solicitors of the 'Sovereign Rulers' gave strong proof for the demand of the security.

Now the headquarters was safe. The official security was given in return of the appeal. The spectators of the live portal were increasing day by day.

Those who did not take interest initially heard from others and started watching the live levels.

The idea of the gaming portal attracted the attention of low level game players. Almost all type of players of the several hundred games were attracted to this live portal. These changes were blunt and exceeding to the initial expectations of the idea.

The gaming lords were earning through this game portal however at the same time they were facing threat to their existence. This was similar of double edge attack of the 'Sovereign Rulers' CEO. That young CEO finally started to take revenge publicly.

The dumb gaming lords could not understand it at the beginning.
