The Global Frenzy: The Hunt for Chirag
The news of Chirag's SS-Rank awakening set the world on fire. Within hours, diplomats from the USA, Russia, and France had booked emergency flights to India. Every superpower wanted to claim this 20-year-old youth. An SS-Rank wasn't just a title—it was a force of nature that could potentially rewrite the rules of the entire 'Hell Gate' system.
However, the Indian N.D.A. made the first move. They sent an official invitation to Chirag, ostensibly to tour the new Magitech facilities, but the true goal was to understand the boy behind the "Calamity" classification.
The Unassuming Entrance
There was no thunderous mana-pressure or flashy Magitech armor when the visitor arrived at the N.D.A. Headquarters. A young man simply walked through the main doors. Wearing plain jeans and a T-shirt, Chirag looked more like a college student than the most powerful human on Earth.
When he entered the boardroom, the hardened S-Rankers and high-ranking officials were stunned. His face was so Gentle and Kind that it felt impossible for him to be the 'SS-Rank' they had seen on the screens.
"Namaste," Chirag said softly. His tone was so humble that the heavy mana-tension in the room seemed to evaporate instantly. There was no ego, no arrogance—just a sincere, quiet presence.
The Mystery of the SS-Rank
"Chirag," the Commissioner began, his voice slightly hesitant. "We've seen the readings... the sensors couldn't even map you. Can you tell us about your skills? Your combat abilities?"
Chirag lowered his head shyly. "To be honest, sir, I don't know yet. Since the awakening, I just feel a strange sense of peace. My system window always says 'Processing.' I don't know what I am capable of."
The officials exchanged bewildered looks. An SS-Ranker who didn't even understand his own power?
Adiraj, who had been standing silently in the corner, stepped forward. He looked deep into Chirag's eyes and saw something rare in the world of Dungers: He didn't see death or destruction; he saw a soul built for Protection.
Adiraj's Masterstroke: The Presidential Proposal
"Chirag, do you know what's happening outside these walls?" Adiraj asked. "The most powerful nations are hunting you. They will turn you into a 'Weapon.' They will throw you into the deadliest dungeons as a tool for their own gain."
A look of concern crossed Chirag's face. "I don't want to fight anyone, Adiraj-sir. I just want to help people."
Adiraj turned to the Commissioners. "We were looking for an N.D.A. President, weren't we? We needed someone capable, someone with a heart for diplomacy. Chirag has a soul that no S-Ranker possesses. And most importantly—if Chirag becomes the President of the N.D.A., no nation can legally take him away from India. This is our final and strongest chance."
A flurry of whispers erupted. Making Chirag the President would make India globally untouchable. Chirag's innocence made him the perfect leader—someone who wouldn't hunger for power because he already had it all. Every official in the room looked at one another and gave a unanimous nod.
The Coronation: A New Era
Chirag looked overwhelmed. "Me? President? But I'm only twenty."
Adiraj placed a hand on his shoulder. "That is exactly why you are the right choice, Chirag. We need a President who puts humanity above dungeon-clearing. Will you stand with us?"
Chirag looked out of the boardroom window, seeing thousands of people gathered outside, looking toward the N.D.A. with hope. He took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "If it is for the good of everyone... then I am ready."
The Ending: The Sovereign's Smile
By evening, the breaking news shook the globe: "Chirag, The World's First SS-Ranker, Appointed as the President of N.D.A. India."
The diplomats from the USA and Russia hadn't even landed before they realized they had lost. Chirag was no longer just a warrior; he was the 'Pillar' of a nation.
Rudra stood in the hallway, watching Chirag's smiling face on the monitors.
"Master," the Ruin Soul whispered. "The N.D.A. has found its 'Shield.' Chirag's presence will now act as a blanket of protection for India's mana-signatures. This allows you to grow even faster within the shadows."
Rudra closed his violet eyes. "A new President... an SS-Ranker who refuses to fight. How interesting."
