Rohan Varma sat quietly in the futuristic room, his mind a storm of confusion and curiosity.
The voice had assured him that everything was fine, that he was in a new world where technology had advanced far beyond anything he had ever known.
But as Rohan went through his memories, he realized that this world wasn't just new it was a strange reflection of the one he had left behind.
He remembered everything about his life, his family, his childhood, his love for games and Hindu mythology. But as he dug deeper into his memories, he found something unsettling.
This world was different from his own, and not just in terms of technology. It was as if history had taken a different path, leading to a world that was both familiar and alien.
In this world, something extraordinary had happened in the 1950s. Scientists had discovered a new energy source called "Vril."
It was unlike anything they had ever seen
limitless, stable, and clean. This discovery had changed the course of history. The global arms race that had defined the Cold War in his original world never happened here.
Instead, countries competed to harness Vril energy, which led to an explosion of technological advancements.
By the 1960s, this world had entered a new era. Cars didn't run on gasoline anymore; they hovered on streams of pure energy.
Buildings soared into the sky, their designs limited only by imagination. Diseases that had once plagued humanity were now a thing of the past, thanks to medical breakthroughs powered by Vril.
The digital revolution, accelerated by this new energy, had brought about a world where artificial intelligence and virtual reality were woven into the fabric of everyday life.
In 2024, the year Rohan now found himself in, virtual reality had evolved into something that was almost indistinguishable from real life. Games weren't just games anymore they were alternate realities where people could live out entire lifetimes.
The line between the virtual and the real had blurred to the point where many people preferred the digital worlds to the physical one.
Rohan's memories told him that in this world, VR games had taken over the entertainment industry. These weren't the clunky, headset-based experiences he was used to.
Here, people could step into virtual worlds that felt 80% real. You could feel the breeze on your skin, the warmth of the sun, the texture of the ground beneath your feet.
The gaming industry wasn't just about fun it was about living another life.
But as Rohan dug deeper into his memories, something didn't sit right. The stories he loved, the ancient epics of Hindu mythology, were different here.
They were incomplete, fragmented. The great tales of the Mahabharata and Ramayana were still told, but they lacked the depth and richness that Rohan remembered.
It was as if parts of these stories had been lost or deliberately erased, leaving behind only shadows of what they once were.
"Why are these stories different?" Rohan muttered to himself, pacing the room. The more he thought about it, the more it bothered him.
Hindu mythology had always been a part of his life, a source of inspiration and strength. But in this world, it was as if the stories had been forgotten or ignored, their significance diminished.
He stopped in front of the smooth, white wall, staring at his reflection. "What am I supposed to do now?" he whispered, his voice tinged with frustration.
The voice that had spoken to him earlier remained silent, leaving him alone with his thoughts.
As Rohan continued to process his memories, he realized that this world's advancement had come at a cost.
The people here were incredibly dependent on technology, to the point where they spent more time in virtual worlds than in the real one.
Yet, despite all these changes, there were gaps in knowledge, in history, in the very essence of what made life meaningful. The mythology that had shaped his understanding of the world was just a shadow of what it should have been.
Rohan's thoughts turned to the system that had appeared before him the VR Games Creator System. It had promised him the ability to create anything he could imagine, to bring worlds and stories to life.
But Rohan knew he wasn't ready to start building anything yet. He needed to understand this world first, to figure out why its mythology was incomplete and what that meant for him.
As he walked around the room, his mind raced with questions. Why was Hindu mythology so fragmented here? What had caused these stories to fade into obscurity? And why had he been brought to this world? What was he supposed to do with the power he had been given?
Rohan stopped pacing and sat down on the edge of the bed, staring at his hands. They were the same hands, attached to the same body, but he felt like a different person.
The world around him was so advanced, so different, that he couldn't help but feel lost.
"I need to figure this out," he said to himself, his voice steadying as his resolve grew. The voice had told him that he was in a world where the future had already arrived, but that didn't mean he had to accept everything as it was.
He had the power to change things, to make a difference. But first, he needed to understand the world he was in.
As he sat there, lost in thought, the voice finally spoke again, calm and reassuring. "The possibilities are endless, but they require understanding. Take your time. You will find your path."
Rohan took a deep breath, letting the words sink in. The voice was right. He needed to take things one step at a time.
This world was different, yes, but it was also full of potential. He had a chance to do something extraordinary, something that could bridge the gap between the world he knew and the one he was now in.
He stood up and walked over to the center of the room, where the translucent screen of the VR Games Creator System still hovered, waiting for his input.
The screen's soft glow illuminated the room, casting gentle light on Rohan's determined face.
He wasn't ready to create anything just yet. But he was ready to explore, to learn, and to understand the tools he had been given. Rohan was ready to take the first steps.
In this world, the stories of gods, demons, and heroes might be incomplete. But with the system at his disposal, Rohan was determined to bring them to life in ways no one had ever seen. The past might be a shadow, but the future was his to shape.
