Rudra sat on a park bench, wearing a hoodie and dark sunglasses. The system had already marked his next mission.
[Mission: Eliminate Local Tyrant – Kabir Mehra (19), College Bully, Extortionist, and Secret Drug Dealer.][Status: Hidden Threat. Crimes Unreported. Victims: 26+][Completion Reward: +1200 Righteous Sin Points, Unlock New System Feature.]
"Eliminate?" Rudra mumbled. "You mean kill?"
[No. Destroy their control, their ego, their fake reputation. But… your method is your choice.]
He smirked. "My way, huh? Then it'll be something no one forgets."
Kabir Mehra was the school's golden boy on the outside—handsome, rich, always smiling. But in the shadows, he was a monster. He blackmailed girls with private pictures, forced juniors to sell party drugs, and even made one boy disappear who refused him.
Everyone knew. No one acted.
But Rudra wasn't everyone.
The Plan Begins
Over the next few days, Rudra observed Kabir from a distance.
He learned his patterns: when he left for college, when he went to the gym, who he talked to, what car he used, and most importantly—his secrets.
One night, Rudra broke into Kabir's gym locker. No cameras, no alarms.
Inside, he found a flash drive.
He smirked. "Let's see what you've been hiding."
He rushed home and plugged it in. His eyes widened.
Videos. Dozens of them. Hidden camera footage. Blackmail. Confessions. Deals.
[Data Analysis Complete: Leverage Gained – Level A.]
"Perfect."
Operation: Justice in Shadows
The next morning, a storm hit the campus.
Twenty random students received an anonymous message:
"Want to know who Kabir Mehra really is? Come to the rooftop at 5 PM."
Some ignored it. Others were curious. Some were scared. But all of them talked. And that was enough.
At 5 PM, Rudra stood hidden on the adjacent rooftop, dressed in black, face covered.
He connected his phone to a speaker.
Dozens of students had gathered, whispering, nervous.
Then the speaker crackled.
"Hello students. Do you like your class topper, Kabir Mehra? Let's see his real face."
A huge screen on the college building lit up.
The videos played—raw, brutal, unedited.
Gasps. Screams. Silence.
Some cried. Some ran.
Kabir, who had arrived late, pushed through the crowd. "Turn that off! It's fake! It's fake!!"
But it was too late.
Police cars arrived.
Girls stepped forward, faces trembling but voices strong. One boy shouted, "He ruined my sister's life!"
Rudra watched from above, calm as a god watching ants below.
The Aftermath
Kabir was arrested on the spot.
The news hit every platform.
"College Star Exposed as Predator!""Unknown Vigilante Uploads Truth Bomb."
Students cheered. Girls walked safer. Teachers clapped.
But no one knew who did it.
Only one person got a system notification.
[Mission Complete. +1200 Righteous Sin Points Earned.][New Feature Unlocked: Shadow Network – Recruit Talents for Your Cause.]
Rudra grinned.
"Villain's son? No… I'm the shadow that makes the light brighter."
