Rohan left the DevaCorp store, his mind a swirling vortex of information. The weight of Tara's revelation settled on him like a heavy cloak. VYOM, a game he'd indulged in for leisure, was now a gateway to something far more profound - the very fabric of time itself. The booming voice, the global outage, and the weakening boundaries between Yugas - it all painted a picture of impending chaos.Back in his apartment, the silence of the real world felt deafening compared to the vibrant chaos of VYOM. He tried logging back in, but as expected, VYOM remained stubbornly offline. Frustration gnawed at him. He craved answers, a way to understand what was happening.He turned to the online forums dedicated to VYOM. The usually bustling threads were now overflowing with panicked speculation. Players reported strange occurrences within the game – misplaced objects, distorted landscapes, and glimpses of figures from other eras. A tremor of unease ran down Rohan's spine. These weren't mere glitches; they were symptoms of a deeper problem.Then, he saw it. A new thread titled "The Voice." It contained a single message, a chilling audio clip of the same booming voice Rohan had heard. The thread exploded with activity, players sharing their experiences and theories. One username, "StoicVeer," resonated with him. The accompanying profile picture showed a weathered face with a resolute gaze, eyes that spoke of past battles and unwavering determination. Rohan sent a private message, detailing his encounter with Tara.Within minutes, a reply arrived. "Meet me at Central Park, under the banyan tree, at dusk," it read. Curiosity gnawed at Rohan, but the prospect of connecting with someone who shared his experience was too strong to resist.As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the park, Rohan found himself beneath the sprawling branches of the ancient banyan tree. A tall figure emerged from the gathering dusk. It was Veer, his weathered face etched with a mixture of concern and determination.Joining him on a nearby bench, Rohan recounted his conversation with Tara. Veer listened intently, nodding occasionally. When Rohan finished, Veer spoke, his voice a low rumble. "I've experienced similar things," he said. "The voice, the glimpses... I believe it's a call to action."A young woman with fiery red hair and eyes that sparkled with intelligence materialized beside them. "Action for what?" she asked, her voice sharp yet laced with a hint of amusement. This was Anya, another player Rohan recognized from the online forum.Veer explained Tara's theory about the Yugas and the malfunction. Anya, a programmer by profession, scoffed initially. "A bridge to ancient eras? Sounds like something out of a fantasy novel." But as Rohan recounted the details of his conversation with Tara, a flicker of interest ignited in her eyes. She began asking pointed questions, dissecting Tara's explanation with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel.As the conversation flowed, a fourth figure joined them, a young artist named Maya. Her whimsical demeanor belied a sharp wit and a keen eye for detail. She recounted her own experiences within VYOM - strange symbols appearing on walls, whispers in forgotten languages.The four of them, brought together by a chance encounter and a shared experience, formed an unlikely alliance. They spent the night huddled beneath the banyan tree, sharing stories, piecing together the puzzle. By sunrise, a unified purpose emerged - to understand the malfunction, mend the rifts between the Yugas, and prevent whatever catastrophe loomed on the horizon.Their first step, they decided, was to find Tara. DevaCorp, shrouded in secrecy, wouldn't be forthcoming with information. Tara, with her insider knowledge, was their best hope. But finding her wouldn't be easy. DevaCorp was a vast corporation, its inner workings a labyrinth of bureaucracy.Anya, with her hacking skills, volunteered to scour the internet for any leads on Tara's whereabouts. Veer, a former soldier with a network of contacts, offered to tap into his resources. Maya, with her keen eye for detail, would comb through online forums and social media, searching for any mention of Tara or similar experiences. Rohan, with his knowledge of VYOM and his connection to Tara, would coordinate their efforts.As the sun rose, casting a golden glow across the park, their plan was set. They were a motley crew, a gamer, a soldier, a programmer, and an artist, but they were united by a common purpose. The fate of VYOM, and perhaps the very fabric of reality, rested on their shoulders. They were the Dharmrakshaks, the protectors of dharma, chosen by a voice from the digital void, and they were about to embark on a journey unlike any other.
