The next morning, as the first rays of the sun pierced through his window, Raj woke up feeling somewhat refreshed. After heading downstairs for a quick breakfast, he returned to his room to begin his daily asanas and meditations routine.
Once he completed his exercises, Raj took out the wooden box his dad had given him the previous night. As he open the box, he gaze filled with awe at the divine fruit, which radiated a mystical and otherworldly aura. It looked as though it had been plucked from the heavens and the godly air around it left him reverence.
Snapping out of his mesmerization, Raj carefully took the fruit from the box and ate in few bits. As it melted in his stomach, an overwhelming divine energy surged throughout his body. The sensation was initially euphoric, but it quickly turned painful as needles were pricking every cell in his body. He remembers his parents warning that divine fruit would cleanse his body and temper his foundation, but experiencing it firsthand was something else entirely.
Raj bit his tongue, focusing on his asanas to help the divine energy circulate and purify his body more effectively. As he moved from one posh to another his pain intensified. His body stared excreting foul-smelling black waste as evidence of the impurities being purged from within. The divine fruit wasn't just enhancing his attributes; it also rebuilt him from the ground up.
After an hour of grueling with body numbing pain the last remnants of divine energy were completely absorbed. Raj was drenched in sweat and covered in filth, despite the discomfort he could feel the subtle changes within him as his strength refined and his focus sharper. Raj felt utterly exhausted both mentally and physically as he collapsed on his bed. All he needed was rest.
As Raj fell into a deep sleep, he became entirely disconnected from the physical world, his consciousness transported to a mysterious realm. It felt surreal, like watching a sequence of visions from afar, and yet most of this perception was blurred as if he had not meant to witness these scenes directly.
In the first vision, he saw an army of shadowy figures marching across a bridge made of stones. The air was thick with anticipation but before he could make out who or what they were the vision abruptly shifted.
Next, he found himself watching a massive, muscular man struggling to lift a long rope in the middle of a dense forest. The scene was primitive, raw, and filled with tension. Raj tried to understand what was happening but once again his vision flickered and transformed into something else entirely.
This time, he saw a battlefield like no other, where millions of warriors were clashing with each other while holding various weapons that Raj had never seen before. Animals such as elephants, bulls, and horses stormed the battlefield along with the soldiers in a chaotic and intense struggle. This war was unlike anything from the modern world or even historical war movies, its scale and ferocity were incomprehensible.
The visions kept changing. He glimpsed snow-capped mountains, blurry figures flying through the sky, and strange, alien worlds beyond anything he'd ever imagined. It felt as if he were being shown fragments of an ancient, forgotten history.
Then, the final vision struck him like a bolt of lightning. Raj saw a colossal golden ball encrusted with different types of gems, attached with a golden pole at its axis which radiated immense power. As the golden pole swung, it collided with the very fabric of space, creating a rupture. The air cracked as though the space itself was bound by invisible chains and with a shattering sound, those chains snapped. A powerful otherworldly energy poured from the cracks as they spread into the atmosphere.
Raj awoke with a start drenching in sweat as his still heart pounded like a drum. His body still ached from the effects of the divine fruit but what truly unsettled him was the last vision of that weapon that caused a rupture in the space was held by a hand. He could still feel the weight of that attack and the raw power behind it, these still lingered in his mind.
