Aryavarta
The Ganga River
We see the Ganga River flowing along its natural course. As we dive into the water, we keep going deeper and deeper until we reach the very bottom of the river, the lowest level.
As we descend, we observe numerous sea creatures such as fish, frogs, clownfish, seahorses, and jellyfish. However, as we go further down, we encounter larger creatures like octopuses and sea turtles.
The deeper we go, the darker it becomes, with darkness surrounding us completely.
Amidst this darkness, we notice a small light glowing brightly. As we move closer to the light, it gradually grows larger and brighter.
At a certain point, an intense and radiant light suddenly emerges from within this smaller light. This light shoots straight upwards, piercing through the skies, reaching the heavenly realms of the gods.
However, this light does not stop there. It continues beyond the heavens, traversing through the three realms of the Tridev (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) and finally heads toward an unknown place.
The brilliance of this light causes the Tridev's three realms, the God's Realms, the Earth, and all mortal worlds to tremble.

GANGOTTARA
"My son."
"How beautiful he is."
"But..."
"Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
"My son, wake up."
"Look, Mom is here."
We see a woman looking at a small infant child lying on a bed. She smiles warmly and tries to talk gently to the baby. However, it seems like she is not talking to the child but rather to herself.
The woman is wearing a luxurious red saree that exudes grandeur. Her blue eyes are captivating, so mesmerizing that once you look at them, you wouldn't want to look away.
Her black hair is streaked with shades of blue, and there's a mark on her forehead resembling flowing water. But if you observe closely, the mark reveals the depiction of Earth, Heaven, and Hell.
(P.S.: The Ganga River flows through Heaven, Earth, and Hell.)
The woman is none other than Goddess Ganga, who is watching over the child with an air of anticipation, waiting for him to awaken.
We then take in the sight of the bedroom — it's a massive space, far bigger than the rooms in modern homes. Painted in white and blue, the room exudes luxury. The bed is enormous, big enough to comfortably accommodate 5 to 6 people, and on it lies the sleeping child.
Finally, we see the child, Karn, as he begins to slowly open his eyes.

Karn's POV
"System."
"Systemmm."
"Status."
"Inventory."
"Open new gift pack."
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Someone respond, dammit!"
I don't know how much time has passed in this endless darkness. I have no idea what is happening. I was hearing system notifications when suddenly, a sharp pain struck my head, and then I ended up here.
But then, I see a white light. It seems to be moving toward me at great speed. No, perhaps I'm being pulled toward it at incredible speed.
As I get closer to the light, it suddenly shines intensely, forcing my eyes shut. When I open them again, everything around me is blurry. But as my vision starts to clear, I notice the ceiling above me.
Then, out of nowhere, a face appears in front of me — a face with stunningly beautiful blue eyes. I am completely awestruck. I can't seem to take my eyes off her.
