Let us begin our story.
This is the story of a boy named Aryan.
Aryan was an eighteen-year-old boy with brown eyes and fair skin. At such a young age, he carried responsibilities far heavier than his years. He was the only earning member of his family.
He had two younger siblings, a brother and a sister, whom he had to take care of alone. The only person they could call their father was a man who spent most of his time drunk, lying somewhere without a care for the world. He didn't even know where his children were half the time. Because of this, Aryan was forced to quit his studies and start working.
Aryan worked as a delivery boy. According to his education and situation, this was the only job he could get-one that helped him barely manage the household expenses.
One day, after completing his deliveries, Aryan was riding back home along the highway.
Suddenly-
A car with failed brakes crashed into him from behind.
What happened to Aryan?
Did he survive... or did he die?
Aryan lay on the highway, covered in blood.
Countless vehicles passed by him. Not a single one stopped. No one even slowed down, let alone extended a helping hand. After lying there for nearly fifteen minutes, Aryan finally breathed his last.
In his final moments, the only thing on Aryan's mind was his younger brother and sister.
Was Aryan's story over before it even began?
What would happen to his siblings after his death?
Would they also starve to death without anyone to protect them?
Suddenly-
Aryan's eyes opened.
Before him was an intense golden light, so bright that it took him several minutes just to open his eyes properly.
Then a voice echoed from within the light.
"How are you, Aryan?"
Aryan turned his head to the right, trying to see who was speaking, but all he could see was the golden radiance.
"Why are you looking around?" the voice said again. "I am right here, in front of you."
"Who... who are you?" Aryan asked.
"I am the one who created the entire universe.
I am the one who created humanity and compassion.
I am the one who gave birth to all living beings."
The voice continued, calm yet absolute.
"I am the creator of this world."
"Then... does that mean you're God?" Aryan asked.
"Yes," the voice replied.
"So... I'm dead?" Aryan whispered.
"No-this cannot be accepted," Aryan suddenly cried out.
"Please, God! Please send me back to my brother and sister! They are too young. There is no one else to take care of them. Our father doesn't care at all. If I'm gone too, they'll have no one left."
The voice answered gently,
"This is the cycle of life. Anyone who is born must one day die."
"But what about my brother and sister?" Aryan pleaded.
"You know everything. You know we only have a father in name. I was their only support. Without me, how will they survive?"
"I understand your emotions," the voice replied.
"But your body was completely destroyed in the car accident. I cannot revive you in this world."
After a pause, the voice continued.
"However, I can grant you a new life-in a world completely different from this one. A world without pollution. A world without people divided by caste and hatred."
"But how can I live peacefully in another life when my siblings are suffering here?" Aryan asked.
"Then... can you send them with me?" he said desperately. "If not in this life, then at least in the next."
"That is impossible," the voice replied.
"Please," Aryan begged. "You showed me the path of rebirth because you consider me a good person. So please... accept this one request."
After a moment of silence-
"Very well," the voice said.
"You and your two siblings will be reborn on a planet called Swaraj.
It will not be easy. You will face countless hardships. I will grant you certain powers, but to grow stronger, you must defeat strange creatures on Swaraj. As you grow stronger, the powers I have given you will gradually unlock."
"Now, Aryan... close your eyes so that I may send you to Swaraj."
"Yes," Aryan replied.
He closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, he found himself lying under the shade of a tree. Nearby, his brother and sister were sleeping peacefully.
Suddenly, a blue light appeared before his eyes, displaying strange text:
Strength – 1
Agility – 1
Magic – 1
Internal Power – 1
There were many other things written that Aryan couldn't understand. The notification sounds kept ringing nonstop in his ears.
"Stop! Just stop!" Aryan shouted, covering his ears.
In the very next moment, everything went silent.
As the blue light faded, Aryan finally saw the world around him.
Green grass stretched endlessly in all directions. The air was clean and fresh-completely free of pollution. Aryan was still absorbing the beauty when-
A dragon flew overhead.
Its body was brown with black stripes spread across its scales. It passed just slightly above them. Aryan's face turned pale.
At that moment, he didn't even dare to breathe.
If I make even the slightest sound, he thought, this thing will kill me.
Inside his mind, Aryan muttered,
"Oh man... what was that? I wish someone could explain this world to me."
The moment he thought that, the blue light appeared again.
This time, it began uploading information directly into his mind-details about Planet Swaraj.
As Aryan processed it, he realized-
This is not an ordinary world.
A world filled with mages, swordsmen, and terrifying creatures.
Inside his mind, Aryan started cursing God.
"God, where the hell have you sent me? My previous life was a million times better than this."
He then woke up his siblings.
"Brother!" they both shouted together.
"Where are we?" his younger brother Raj asked.
"This is our new home," Aryan replied calmly.
"We'll build our life here."
With that, Aryan began moving forward with his brother and sister, soon entering a dense forest.
After walking a long distance, he suddenly spotted a creature-
A goblin.
Green-skinned, short in height.
The blue light appeared again.
New Enemy Detected.
Defeat the enemy to receive an instant level-up reward.
"What? I have to kill it? But how?" Aryan tried speaking to the blue light, but it didn't respond. It only kept repeating:
Defeat the enemy. Instant level-up reward.
Defeat the enemy. Instant level-up reward.
Aryan realized the system wouldn't answer his questions.
Just then, new text appeared.
Enemy Information Available.
Aryan selected it.
Strength – 4
Agility – 3
Energy – 2
Mental Power – 1
After seeing the information, Aryan realizes that the goblin's strength is four times greater than his own.
How will I ever defeat it? he thinks to himself.
Then he checks the goblin's mental power and understands that it lacks intelligence.
Within a short time, he digs a deep pit.
Inside it, he plants several sharp iron spears, ones he had found lying nearby.
Then he carefully covers the pit with a layer of grass and leaves-
an invisible gateway to death.
Once the trap is ready, Aryan shouts loudly-
"Hey, ugly monster! If you've got the guts, come and face me!"
His voice echoes through the forest.
The goblin beast growls, its blood-red eyes burning with rage, and with a thunderous roar, it charges straight toward Aryan.
With every step it takes, the ground trembles.
Any trees or bushes in its path are torn apart by its sharp claws.
Aryan runs at full speed, deliberately leading it toward the pit.
At the last moment, he grabs onto a flexible branch, swings himself upward, and leaps onto another tree.
Blinded by rage and lust for blood, the goblin doesn't notice a thing.
The very next step-
CRASH!!
A piercing scream echoes as the creature plunges into the pit, its body impaled by the iron spears.
Drops of blood splatter across the soil.
And the moment Aryan delivers the final strike to the terrifying creature, a last, agonizing scream escapes from its body.
At that very instant, the air begins to tremble.
A mysterious resonance spreads throughout the surroundings, and then-
Enemy Defeated.
Instant Level-Up Granted.
Suddenly, a white light surrounds Aryan completely.
When the light finally fades, Aryan feels his entire body change.
His eyes turn blue, his hair gains a faint reddish tint, and well-defined six-pack abs appear. His body becomes visibly more muscular and powerful.
Then the blue light appears once again.
At that moment, the blue light appeared before his eyes once again.
Strength – 10
Agility – 10
Energy – 10
Magical Power – 10
Reading Skill – 5
More and more information continues to appear.
Then another message echoes from the blue light:
Special Reward Acquired...
Special Reward Acquired...
A weapon materializes before Aryan-
a First-Tier weapon.
"First Tier? What does that mean?" Aryan mutters.
The blue light responds.
"In this world, levels from 1 to 10 are considered beginner levels. Most ordinary children between the ages of 10 and 15 fall within this range.
Above that comes the First Tier,
then the Second Tier,
followed by the Grand Tier,
then the Magical Tier,
and finally the Grand Magical Tier.
Beyond these, there are countless other levels."
Aryan clenches his fist.
"So that means... my level is even lower than the kids of this world."
Then, Aryan began moving forward on his journey.
But the questions lingered in his mind-
Will Aryan be able to grow stronger?
How will he face dangerous enemies while protecting his younger siblings?
