"I will make you my seventh Asura king and will let you take revenge on everyone who played with your life. Tell me… will you accept my deal." The Devil's voice came from a small life form.
"Are you for real…?" Why would any goddess will help me to release from this torture?" Anirudh asked in low murmuring tone as his body is crucified on to a wooden board.
"Believe me… I already made every arrangement for your release. All you have to do is select a life form on earth, when the goddess offers you to attain karma."
"Later, help me on the new magic world in the earth dimension. Will you accept my deal… tell me. I don't have much time to stay in this hell dimension." The Devil asked with an impatient tone.
"If what you are saying is true!... I will help you according to your wish. But don't forget the promise you made." Anirudh replied in a weak tone.
"Haha… don't worry. A deal with the devil is not a joke. Hope you will finish the task as soon as possible." The Devil said in a fading voice as the small life form disappeared from the hell dimension.
************************------------------------------------------------********************************
As the Devil said the very next day, A goddess come to rescue Anirudh from the hell. Anirudh stood before the goddess while looking in to nine mirror like dimensions.
"These are all the nine powerful people from nine dimensions who is going to die tonight. So, choose the person who you want to live alike and attain good karma." The goddess said while pointing at the mirror's which are displaying lives of nine powerful people from different dimensions.
"Goddess, I really thank you for your generosity. But I want to go on my previous dimension, The Earth." Anirudh replied as though of the deal with the Devil.
"At present there are no suitable powerful persons on earth to transfer you." The goddess replied calmly.
"Goddess, I just want to live a normal human life. So, grant me my wish. Otherwise, let me go back to hell." Anirudh replied his choice.
"As your wish. Don't blame me… if you regret your choice." The goddess said before transferring his soul to a wealthy young master body who got died due to a poison attack from his own relatives.
******************************---------------------------------************************************
Year 3133, Earth… Mumbai, India.
Inside a luxurious glass house, A young man is sleeping peacefully while covering his entire body with blanket. A group of relatives of that young man came to check on his dead body as they poisoned him in the last night.
His uncle pulled the blanket and placed a finger on his nostrils to check the breathing. But suddenly the young man stood up and delivered a strong punch to his uncles' face.
"Ahhh…"
with a loud cry, the uncles clutched his bleeding nose with both hands. Ignoring these loud wailings, Anirudh started checking on his new body.
Anirudh immediately stood up and went to check on his body on the glass wall. More than ten members of his relatives were looking at him like they were seeing a ghost. While his uncle is cursing him with a loud shouting, Anirudh got busy in sorting out the memories of his host body.
The previous body owner is also an Anirudh who lost his parents in a car accident when he is ten years old. Later he grown up under his uncle's care who raised him like a timid person.
As the previous Anirudh is reaching the age of eighteen years, his uncle family decided to kill him to take control over his wealth.
"What a pitiful life. Don't worry… this prince will take revenge on behalf of you." Anirudh said loudly while turning his attention towards his relatives.
"What are you all looking at? Get out." Anirudh gave a loud shout and started walking towards his uncle in slow motion.
"Today is August 13, my eighteenth birthday. I'm taking back the control of all my wealth. Call the lawyer and the old manager who used to work under my father. I want them to be here in one hour." Anirudh declared while staring at bewildered face of his uncle.
"You!!!... you dared to order me around. Did you forget my discipline? Vicky bring me the whip… your brother needs a lesson." The uncle ordered his own son Vicky as he is still thinking that the person before him is old Anirudh who used to behave like timid servant at his feet.
"Phat…***"
Before Vicky turn back to bring the whip a loud smacking sound came from his father's cheeks. Phat… another slap followed after that.
"If the lawyer and the old manager are not here in one hour… I will the peel the skin of every person in this house." Anirudh said loudly in a warning tone.
After that he went inside the rest room to fresh up. With a stupefied look… everyone left the personal room of Anirudh. After coming out of the rest room, Das walked onto the outside hall and called on his uncles' daughter.
"Why did you call me...?" She asked with an impatient face.
"Sit down..." Anirudh pointed towards the opposite sofa.
"Why should I listen you? I'm not your servant." She replied with a proud attitude.
"Phat…" Anirudh directly slapped on her buttocks.
"Your entire family lives on my money. Your clothes, make-up, including your bath soap. Everything comes from my money. if you dare to disobey me… I will make you regret it for life time. Sit down like an obedient puppy." Anirudh said with a villainous look.
"Tell me… what should I do." She asked obediently after looking at his sly face.
"That's how you should behave. Now, I want to play a game called Magic world. Tell me how should I play it." Anirudh asked after thinking about the information given by the Devil.
"Why are asking about it? It's just a MMORPG game, released during last month." She asked back.
"Stop asking me questions and tell me how should we play it." Anirudh asked seriously while checking memories of his host for information on this era's technology and games.
"First you need to buy their gaming device. As it is a MMORPG game… you need to buy their gaming pod." She replied calmly.
"Then buy it. I want that device in two hours." Anirudh ordered her with a straight face.
"What!!!... no. That device cost's more two lakhs bot money. it's expensive than my car." She cried out instantly after hearing the Anirudh's order.
"It's not your money… Why are you crying like that. Do as I say. The gaming pod should be here in two hours. Otherwise, you will regret it for your entire life." Anirudh said with a serious face.
Later Anirudh talked with the lawyer and the old manager to transfer the control from his uncle.
"Young master, should I reserve any business or properties on you uncle's name or any other relatives?" The lawyer asked before Anirudh signed on the documents.
"Hmmhh… not a single coin."
"Manager, I'm giving you one day time. Take control over all the business, properties, hotels everything. Change the signs to my name and prepare the new documents on my wealth status."
"I want everything to be clean and perfect. If you achieve this by tomorrow morning, I will appoint you as acting chief of all my property. Did you get it?" Das gave all rights to the manager as he used to be a loyal servant.
"Young master, then what about your uncle? The lawyer asked with a puzzled look.
Hmmhh…"
Anirudh gave loud smirk and continued to sign the documents.
"Manager, transfer all the servants in this building to guest houses and other properties." Anirudh ordered as he stood up to leave.
"Young master, then who will take care of this house. We need servants to cooking, washing, cleaning… who will do all these works." The manager asked with bewildered face.
"Haha… my relatives. All of my relatives will take care of this house." Anirudh replied with aloud laughter.
"What!!!..." All the people at the scene gasped with surprise after listening to Anirudh's decision.
"Anirudh, do you forget that I'm your uncle who raised you. Everyone in this house helped you to grow up. How can you talk like this?" His uncle cried with a fury. Several people followed him and started making harsh remarks on Anirudh for his decision.
"Haha… stop your sly acting. If anyone of you don't like my decision… you are free to leave this house and if you want stay in this house, you have to obey my every command."
Anirudh declared his testimony and left to check the information about the Magic World. After Anirudh left the hall, all relatives gathered around his uncle to discuss about their future plan.
Anirudh stood before a transparent screen and started reading about the new MMORPG game. Even though everyone on earth is thinking that it's a game, he knows that it's channel to connect with another dimension.
