Chapter 21: Real Power Begins on Earth

[Game World - Cultivation Room]

Zero opened his hand. The Chaos Ring pulsed with divine energy, casting a soft silver glow.

"If this ring can truly bypass realms... let's see what it brings to Earth."

He tapped the [Log Out] option. A swirl of energy wrapped around him.

• [Real World - Sector 9 Slums, Earth]

Rayan's eyes flew open. He was back in his small, dusty room with cracked walls and no fan.

But something had changed.

His right hand still carried the Chaos Ring - glowing softly, bonded to his soul.

He focused, and the ring's inventory opened in front of him like a floating AR screen.

"It followed me. Even here..."

He searched through it and picked the weakest item.

[Frozen Flame Orb - Chaos Rank: Basic | Earth

Rank: Legendary/Unknown]

It appeared in his palm, humming faintly with cold fire.

[Black Market App: DarkTrade]

A hidden app appeared on his phone — created by the Chaos Ring itself.

DarkTrade - where elites, hidden clans, rogue scientists, and global powers traded illegally acquired items from within VR worlds.

Rayan listed the orb under the name:

ChaosRings001

In 6 minutes, a deal was struck.

Es [Somewhere in India - Verma Family

Estate]

Aadarsh Verma, heir to the E3 trillion Verma Conglomerate, received the listing.

He analyzed it using his private Al system.

"Unknown energy structure... infinite cold cycle?"

"This is not science... this is divine."

He pressed "Buy Now" for &500 crore without hesitation.

[Transaction Complete]

Rayan's phone buzzed:

$500,00,00,000 transferred to Shadow Bank Account.

The slum air felt cleaner.

The walls no longer mattered.

"Time to live like a king."

6 [Luxury Car Showroom - Velocity

Auto Emporium]

Rayan walked into the massive showroom where diamond-polished floors reflected the chrome of dozens of elite cars. Salesmen glanced at him with doubt - until one young executive stepped forward.

dozens of elite cars. Salesmen glanced at him with doubt - until one young executive stepped forward.

"Sir, welcome. Looking for something rare?"

Rayan nodded silently.

The salesman led him to the center platform. Covered in a silk sheet stood a sleek beast.

With a swipe, the cover was pulled off.

ead [Model: McLaren GT Black Edition]

The car shone like obsidian in sunlight. Curved body, razor-line aerodynamics.

"Custom Black Edition," the salesman said. "Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. 620 horsepower.

Top speed: 326 km/h."

Rayan said nothing, walking around it slowly.

"Inbuilt Al voice control. Biometric lock. Bullet-resistant windshield. Adaptive suspension. O to 100 in 3.2 seconds."

He opened the door. The interior was stitched with diamond-pattern Alcantara leather.

Dashboard: Full-holo HUD. Night-vision display. Auto-evasion tech.

Price? 26.5 crore.

Rayan stepped inside. "I'll take it."

"Delivery in 3-"

"I'll drive it now."

Payment confirmed in 2 seconds.

[Sky Pearl Residency - Penthouse

Suite Tour]

By nightfall, Rayan was standing at the gates of the tallest private skyscraper in the city - Sky Pearl Residency.

The elevator opened without asking his name. A biometric scan recognized him through the Chaos Ring's identity system.

A real estate manager awaited him on Floor 64.

"Mr. Singh, welcome. This is our penthouse sky-suite.

Shall I give the tour?"

[Features of the Penthouse]

Three bedrooms, two with meditation-compatible silent shielding. Private VR chamber with multi-world support.

Smart kitchen with Al meal prep. Security shutters reinforced with military-grade alloy. Wall panels adjust transparency — full privacy or panoramic city view. Master bedroom has sky glass ceiling that dims or opens with a thought. One-click lockdown mode: full security seal.

Rayan stood silently at the edge of the balcony. Below, the city lights flickered like stars.

"'ll take it."

[That Night - Alone at the Top]

Rayan changed into a black shirt and loose cotton pants. No guards. No servants.

He sat cross-legged on the meditation platform, Chaos Ring pulsing beside him.

From nothing, he now owned:

#493 crore remaining A custom McLaren A sky-home above the city A bound item of divine origin that defied logic

"This is just a basic item," he whispered.

"What happens when I sell a real one?"

[Elsewhere - Verma Family Research

Wing]

Aadarsh Verma stared at the Frozen Flame Orb under 12 layers of containment.

"It's still... burning. With no energy source. No decay.

What have I just bought?"

He looked at the seller tag:

ChaosRings001

"I will find him. Or he'll find me."
