Contest Mumbai

In a world that's overwhelmed by technology, noise, and a kind of spiritual forgetfulness, a barefoot man in a hoodie wanders through the bustling streets of Mumbai, almost invisible to those around him. His mere presence disrupts the cameras, hushes the chaos, and awakens long-buried memories in the people he encounters. He’s unsure of his own identity, but slowly, the world starts to remember. He is Shiva. The god of transformation, reborn in this age of algorithms. As he stirs to life, so does Anika—a sharp-minded hacker who feels disillusioned with the modern world. Plagued by dreams and an unexplainable connection to the mysterious man in the hoodie, she finds herself pulled into a reality that challenges everything she thought she knew. She’s not merely a bystander in this divine comeback—she is Sati reborn, the goddess who once walked into flames and now must rise from them. But their reunion isn’t a fairy tale. Corporate giant Daman Raut, armed with an AI network known as Project Narak, ignites a global conflict—not with guns, but through manipulation of perception. Truth gets twisted, memories are erased, and divinity is ridiculed. As faith turns into a threat to power, Shiva and Anika must awaken the dormant spirit of humanity—not by conquering the world, but by helping it remember. From the quiet echoes of Kailash to the rebirth of the sacred Ganga, from the cosmic Tandava to the digital battleground, Shiva and Sati spearhead a revolution rooted in stillness, breath, and balance. In the ultimate choice between returning and staying, the flame doesn’t retreat into myth. It transforms into the world.

Because fate isn’t done with him yet. There are still two more Alphas out there— His second fated mate was the white lion Clan's crown prince, but he didn't expect that there would be a third mate too.

I don't mind the criticism in any way, just don't vent and dump the sh*t you go through in the comments. As it is my first novel, there can be some plotholes and you might find some references from other novels as I am learning while reading from them. Currently looking to work around 2k words per chapter. Hope it keeps the same pace. Character images will be provided time to time and maybe some fighting artwork too. Will add discord further in the future.

This entire story takes place in a forest — a very dangerous forest, a dark empire. The name of that forest is Omariya Footsteps. In this forest, there are many ancient tribal human groups. Some of them include the Naazi, Moji, Dhrunari, Ekkoru, and many others. Among them, the Naazi are a very powerful tribe with a large army. Across the whole of Omariya Forest, the Naazi hold dominance because of their strong military. Next to them are the Moji, who are always looking to conquer the other tribes. But they never dare to mess with the Naazi — they fear their army. Far away from all of this, there is a military base. It never interferes, but it watches from a distance. That is the current situation in the Omariya Footsteps. These forests — the Omariya Forest — are located in the Congo Basin of South Africa. But then… something happens. Because of certain people, the Naazi army is destroyed. The once powerful Naazi tribe becomes weak. And then, one man, who comes from outside the forest, arrives to save them. This is the story. There are many interesting things in this story — like how the Naazi army was destroyed, why that man came, and what the hidden forces did. This story takes a new turn from a place in India — the Milton Research Center (MRC) located in Mumbai. This organization conducts research on many things related to the forest. One day, they discover something in that forest — something that completely changes the history of the Omariya Footsteps. The key person in this story is Virat — he works in the Milton Research Sector. Riya, who also works there, plays an important role. Because of these two people, the story of the Naazi tribe changes forever.
