There were torches burning in many places inside the deep and dark cave which were providing dim light to the cave. The atmosphere inside the cave was very scary because of the bodies of many dead people. The body parts of the dead people were badly broken and burnt.
Inside that deep cave, there was a door about fifty meters long which was dark golden in color and many dragons were engraved on it. The long door on which the dragons were engraved was open and from outside that door, a strange ritual ceremony stage could be seen on which a boy soaked in blood was taking his last breaths.
That boy barely says a few words to himself with blood-filled eyes wide and looking at a system screen in the air in front of him, "I-I can't die like this....!" Then suddenly the boy sees the cave collapsing in front of his eyes and everything starts getting blurry in front of him, he hears a familiar voice in his ears.
"Sarthak.... Sarthak.... Wake up Sarthak you fell asleep again in the ongoing class!" Sarthak wakes up with a loud sound, when he opens his eyes and looks in front, he is in his school classroom and in front of him is his class teacher Karishma who was wearing very high powered glasses on her face and had tied a ponytail of her long waist length hair.
All the students of the class cannot stop laughing on seeing Sarthak because Sarthak still looked half asleep and saliva was dripping from his mouth and falling on the wooden desk. Karishma stares at Sarthak and shouts at him, "Sarthak Gupta, go outside the class right now and stand with both your hands raised."
Sarthak who was half asleep a while ago, now regains his senses after hearing Karishma's loud voice. He suddenly stands up, closes his mouth and widens his eyes and says to himself, seeing Karishma in front of him who is staring at him angrily.
"Today again because of this dream I will have to stand outside the class!" Sarthak said to himself. He walks out of the class with a sad face without saying anything. Seeing this some students of the class start talking among themselves.
Karishma angrily says to herself, "Nothing will happen to this useless fellow, students like him are nothing but a burden on the earth!" Whereas outside the class, Sarthak is lost in his thoughts, raising both his hands, "I have been having this strange dream for the last one month, where I find myself near death every time, I should consult a doctor, due to this strange dream I have not been able to sleep properly for many days because whenever I try to sleep, this strange dream starts scaring me."
The very next moment, he says to himself while getting a little worried, "But if I give my remaining money to the doctor, then I will not have money even to eat something, now what should I do?" Sarthak was thinking all this when today's class ends in no time, which he realizes is due to the period ring bell outside the class.
The class door opens and the class teacher Karishma comes out from there, she glances at Sarthak and after a moment she turns her eyes away and starts walking in the corridor holding some books in her hands, "Now I have to go home quickly and see how much money I have saved till now, if I see this dream for a few more days then I will really become a beast and will start attacking everyone to get a good sleep."
Sarthak says to himself and goes inside the class with both hands down. Sarthak Gupta who was a sixteen year old boy, his height was five feet ten inches, he had light black and brown hair with a little curly too, light brown eyes and light brown eyelashes.
When he is going inside the class from the door, he is lost in his thoughts about what he will do at home and what not, due to which he is not able to concentrate on his future. Then he feels that he has collided with someone. Without looking ahead, he says, "Sorry!" Saying this, he starts moving towards his desk.
He takes only two steps forward and immediately feels as if he has come in the way of a heavy truck. Sarthak collides with three desks which were at a distance of one meter from him. "Do you think that I will leave you just like that if you apologize, how dare a weak person like you collide with me?"
Four boys come towards Sarthak in the group, out of which one boy has the biggest and broadest body in the class. His height is six feet seven inches and he has a lot of muscles on his body. He has a buzz cut hairstyle on his head and a broad neck. Sarthak is groaning in pain, when he sees Nikhil in front of him, he says to himself while cursing himself in his mind.
"If I had to fight, it was with Nikhil only, I don't know when I will get rid of my bad luck!" The boys and girls of the class now stand there to see Sarthak getting beaten up by Nikhil. Sarthak sees all of them showing interest in his and Nikhil's matter, then he says to himself in his mind with a light smile on his face.
"In this world only powerful people can do whatever they want, the more powerful a person is, the more freedom and power he will get over others, due to which that person will become even more powerful, while weak people like us will only become weaker and at one point our existence will end because in this world one has to fight to survive, here the weak are just insects for the powerful people, whom they crush and move ahead.
This is the rule of this world where the powerful have everything and the weak have nothing." Sarthak tells himself the truth of the new world because in this new world only super powers and strength matter. About a thousand years ago, suddenly many portals start opening on the earth, due to which many types of beasts start coming to the earth and start wreaking havoc.
The beasts cause such destruction that the human race comes to the verge of complete extinction. When there is no one on earth who can fight and save them from these beasts and even nuclear weapons do not work on these terrible beasts, then suddenly there is a change in the human race and they get supernatural powers after which they are known as Awakeners.
After saving the human race, many Awakeners decided to hide themselves and their powers from the world, while some decided to give the powers they had got to the world and decided to save this world from the beasts. In this new world, no one had powers except the Awakeners, so by researching about the bodies of dead beasts and their powers, Awakeners started writing a book about the powers of the beasts and how to use them with the help of many people.
The bodies of humans had become capable of learning and using powers with the help of these books, but they could not awaken their powers the way Awakeners awakened their powers. Awakeners named this book Shakti Granth, after Shakti Granth came into the world, the whole world was filled with new and different powers.
The incident of beasts coming out of portals a thousand years ago is known as 'Beast Portal Time' in today's time. The portal from which beasts were coming out a thousand years ago got closed and such a portal was not seen again in this thousand years but humans improved their science and made the same portal from which beasts started coming out.
To a large extent, humans had improved weapons and powers with the help of mana energy spread on the earth and the bodies of the beasts. Here inside the class room when Nikhil sees Sarthak smiling, he takes out his hands from his pant pockets and with his strength he breaks two parts of Sarthak's desk and he takes out both the iron parts of the desk and points them towards Sarthak and says angrily, "You are smiling even after seeing me, maybe you are not afraid of me or you do not know me properly yet."
Nikhil throws both the iron rods towards the wall in front due to which both the rods get stuck in the wall, Nikhil now catches Sarthak by the collar of his shirt and staring at him says, "Today I will teach you a lesson that after today you will never dare to appear in front of someone stronger than you."
Sarthak knew very well what was going to happen to him now. Nikhil has super strength, he takes out all his anger on Sarthak and the whole class is happy to see Sarthak getting beaten up by Nikhil. When Nikhil's anger subsides, he picks up Sarthak's bag and throws it at him and says, "Next time if I see you, I will not let you go just after washing my hands off you, so make sure that you are not seen near me!"
Nikhil warns Sarthak and leaves from there, after Nikhil leaves from there, all the other students also disappear from there as if nothing had ever happened there. Sarthak's body was thin but still he was able to walk even after getting beaten so much, he stands up groaning with pain, taking his bag, "I wish I also had my parents who would have bought me Shakti Granth, if I also had power, I would have changed this entire system, but all this seems right only when said because this will never happen as far as I think."
Sarthak said to himself, he comes out of the class and while going home he says to himself, "First of all I have to put a bandage on my wound after going home, if I show these wounds to the doctor then he will loot me completely, so instead of showing myself to the doctor I will manage with the bandage, anyway my wounds will heal in a few days."
Sarthak reaches his house which looks like nothing but a small room. He goes inside the house and throws the bag on the mattress spread on the floor, he opens the small freezer and takes out a bottle of water from it and drinks it in one breath.
"Haaaaaaaaaaa" said Sarthak after drinking water in one breath and removing the bottle from his mouth. He takes a sigh of relief and says to himself, "By the way, after getting beaten up, one feels very thirsty." He puts the bottle on the floor and now starts looking for bandages. After finding the bandages, he applies them on his nose, cheeks and hands and then holds his phone in his hand and starts searching for something.
Sarthak lived alone in this small house. He did not know who his parents were and how they looked. He grew up in an orphanage till the age of ten and after turning ten, he leaves the orphanage and starts doing small jobs at a very young age, with which he buys food and pays the rent of this house.
"Oh my god, how much money all these doctors are charging. If they had their way, they would start charging us for staying alive!" Sarthak said this while looking at the phone screen with surprised eyes, after which he sighs and lies down on the mattress, he closes his eyes and says to himself, "I have never seen in my entire life the amount of money this doctor is asking for, maybe my illness will get cured on its own, anyway, where will I get so much money from."
The very next moment he falls asleep, he again reaches inside that cave and he again sees a screen in front of him which has two options.
[ Yes ] or [ No ]
His hands and legs are badly burnt, he screams in pain, "aahhhhhh...." Sarthak comes out of his dream screaming, he sits up and when he looks around, he gets relieved, "This strange dream again, sometimes this dream seems true to me and reality seems like a dream to me, if my condition remains like this, it will not take much time for me to go mad."
He gets drenched in sweat and says, it was evident from his face that the dream he is seeing everyday is not an ordinary dream because he is seeing death in his dreams everyday in front of his eyes. He stands up and moves his fingers rapidly on his phone and says, "If I want to earn more money in less time then I will have to take more risk, I have no option, I will have to do the job of a porter."
