The Ashvattha Tournament
In the heart of modern India, a legendary underground tournament is held once a decade—The Ashvattha Tournament. It is no ordinary competition; fighters enter the arena not just with martial prowess but with Divine Marks, supernatural abilities granted by forming contracts with ancient gods, legendary warriors, or forgotten spirits.
Aarav Sen, a rebellious street fighter, enters the tournament with one goal: to find his missing sister, who vanished after the last tournament. But as he fights his way through brutal rounds against warriors wielding the power of deities, he discovers the tournament is a front for something far older and more sinister.
The tournament is controlled by The Keepers, a shadowy organization that claims to maintain balance between gods, humans, and the unseen forces that shape history. However, factions within the tournament—rogue demigods, vengeful emperors, and forgotten deities—are vying for control, each with their own vision for the world.
As Aarav delves deeper, he learns that the tournament’s winner does not just claim glory—they decide the fate of the world. With each fight, he uncovers the hidden war brewing between gods, emperors, and celestial forces beyond mortal comprehension. Torn between vengeance, love, and the weight of destiny, Aarav must face the ultimate question:
Will he become a champion of fate, or will he shatter the cycle of divine rule?
