Chapter 9 - TRAGEDY

Me my 14 cousins and adidev we all walked arrived at a place with numerous rooms for cultivation. I chose one and was fortunate to find it empty. I entered my room, eager to resume my cultivation after a two-month hiatus. I felt a sense of regret, thinking that if Adidev, Abhi, and my family became stronger than me, how could I protect them? I determined to cultivate and sat in the Padmasana position which look like a lotus , focusing on absorbing energy from the environment.

Just then, a voice from my system spoke up, "You're only trying to absorb energy through your nose. Try to use all your nadis." I said okay but before I could do it system said wait let me see how many nadis of your is open and if there is any blockage in nadi and some is not opened we could open it so you become stronger I waited, and after a while, the system said, "Wow, you've nearly opened all your nadis you had opened all your 3 primary nadis and 6 out of 7 i.portant nadis and in totall nearly 7199 Nadis are already open but as so many nadis are already connected in this world so total are 104 and all this 104 converted and positioned as such that they develop into 3 primary nadis while out of this. 104 primary nadis 7 are single and Most important one And they absorb enrgy faster and help in magic also you had all your nadis open except you have only one closed nadi left. Let me help you open it."

I exclaimed with joy, "Really? I'm special and lucky right to had already open so many nadis right !" But then the system replied, "Host, when I open your last nadi, the task points you've earned won't be enough to create a new weapon." I felt a pang of sadness, but then I steeled myself and said, "Open my nadi now. I need to become stronger than them wait you didn't said. I am special right."

As I spoke, a searing pain shot through my stomach, and I let out a blood-curdling scream. "System you fool!" I cursed, clutching my abdomen in agony. "Why didn't you warn me about this excruciating pain?" Another scream escaped my lips as a dark liquid gushed out of my stomach, stopping after two or three bursts. The pain vanished as suddenly as it appeared, replaced by an extraordinary surge of energy.

I glared at the system, demanding, "Why did you do this? Didn't you understand how painful it would be?" The system apologized, "Sorry, Arushi. You didn't use any medicinal herbs, so the process was more painful than expected."

I shouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The system replied, "I apologize, Arushi. No need to worry next time; I'll inform you. Now, you can cultivate faster than before.

I sat properly again and began to absorb energy from nature. As I did, I felt a strange sensation within me, followed by a sharp pain that coursed through my body. My body started to buff, and another scream escaped my mind. I asked the system, "What's happening?"

The system replied, "I think the host's energy from all these years is now stored in your body, but it wasn't able to reach the core. It was absorbed in your bodyakimg your body stronger than normal human. And maybe that's the reason already so many of your nadis is opened , but now that the reason has been cleared, all the energy is ready. As you started cultivating, all the nadis opened again to the core path, and the energy got out of control. Your body isn't capable of handling it, so if you want to survive, you need to balance them somehow."

As I heard this, I realized what was happening and think if I didn't balance my enrgy. Then how could I protect someone and maybe I could be taken away from my father he was always so lonely if I will be not with himself then he will be more lonely started dto balance it and then I got an idea. I tried to control some of my energy and directed it to collide with the other energy part, causing a burst of pain. But after that, the energy silenced, like when two water-filled bubbles collide, burst, and then settle, pouring their liquid onto the ground. The water splits, but it's still present, maybe changed in state, but still there.

I continued to balance my energy, using the same technique, and slowly but surely, the pain subsided, and my body began to stabilize. I realized that I had to harmonize my energy to survive and cultivate further.

As I continued to silence the energy with a massive pain, I couldn't help but scream in agony every second. The pain was unbearable, but I knew I had to keep going. Slowly but surely, the silenced energy began to travel towards the energy core. I didn't pay attention to it, lost in the haze of pain that seemed to consume me whole.

Time seemed to blur, and I couldn't tell how much had passed. Maybe it was over an hour, maybe more. But as I continued to burst the energy, I started to feel a strange sensation - a thrill in the pain, followed by an eerie silence. It was a feeling I couldn't understand, but it was oddly exhilarating.

The pain was still there, but it was no longer the only thing I felt. I started to feel a sense of control, of power, as I harnessed the energy within me. It was a fragile balance, but I knew I had to maintain it.

Finally, when all the energy was silenced, I opened my eyes to find my surroundings bathed in a red liquid. I was disoriented, unsure of what had happened. I tried to stand, but my body felt weak, and I fell again. Dizziness surrounded me, and everything went black.

I thought someone was trying to capture me, control me. I felt a presence around me, a dark and malevolent force that sought to exploit my power. I tried to open my eyes but I was too weak I thought it is some ghost like enemy when the character was taken by ghost to his world

When I came to, I screamed, "Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!" as a hand touched me. I was terrified, unsure of what was happening. But then I heard a familiar voice, "What happened?" It was my dad

"Arushi, where do you see a ghost does someone try to hurt you what had happened ?" My dad asked, concern etched in her voice. I tried to explain, but the words tumbled out in a jumbled mess. I was shocked to see my father...but he was in a black dress and mask...I knew it was him by his voice, smell, and talk...but he was different.. "

I shuddered, remembering the terror I felt. "I said 'no, dad ' as I cultivated the energy within me...it started to surge out, causing me agony...like someone was hammering me relentlessly." I gasped, recalling the pain.

"I realized if I didn't silence the energy, that would take me away from you, dad ...so I collided one energy with another, causing even more pain...but they started to subside...to silence." I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.

"But when I woke up, I felt so weak...and there was the red liquid everywhere...and something black started to surround me...that's when I thought it was a ghost." I looked up at dad , seeking reassurance.

"But you protected me, right?" I asked dad, seeking reassurance. Just then, my father hugged me tightly. I felt a surge of pain and screamed, "Ahh, dad, it's hurting!" My father immediately released me and said, "I'm sorry, Arushi. I didn't mean to hurt you."

I looked up at him and said, "I know, dad. But why am I here? I want to become stronger. I want to cultivate and learn magic. I want to protect you all." My father's face contorted in anguish as he replied, "I'm sorry, Arushi. But your nadis are nearly damaged to burst You can't cultivate for some time until they heal."

I was shocked. "What? I can't cultivate now? Why?" My father broke down in tears, and seeing him cry, I tried to comfort him. "Don't worry, dad. It will heal. I have an S-class healing ability. I will learn magic and be able to heal myself."

As I said this, my father's face changed from sadness to shock, and he opened his eyes wide like a monkey, making me laugh. "Do you really have an S-class healing ability?" he asked, his voice filled with wonder. I nodded, "Yes, I do. You can ask Abhi, Adidev, and that bad principal." I whispered the last part, and my dad's face lit up with joy.

" And also Maybe, just maybe, if I master my time magic, I can even revert my body to its past state," I said, my eyes shining with hope. His face again contorted into a monkey-like expression, making me giggle.

Despite the pain and challenges, I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I would learn magic, heal my nadis, and become stronger to protect my loved ones. And with my S-class healing ability, I might even be able to restore my body to its former state. The thought filled me with excitement and motivation when
