November 13, 2020 – NEET Result Day
The world had been waiting.
Rajat? Not so much.
He already knew he aced it. His prep, powered by Essence of Skill Mastery, had transformed him into a walking medical encyclopedia.
Even during his breaks, he rewrote anatomy diagrams from memory—better than textbooks. His understanding of biochemical pathways was so flawless, he began spotting minor errors in standard MCQ books.
Still, results were official.
And he had to act surprised.

1:30 PM – The Floodgates
Calls.
Texts.
Emails.
Social media tags.
> "Rajat Dhameja, AIR 32! Brilliant!"
"Local boy makes it big—AIIMS Delhi-bound!"
"Interviews requested by Times Now, India Today, Dainik Bhaskar..."
He didn't answer any of them.

2:00 PM – Local Coaching Institute
His name was already slapped on a banner outside the center where he gave a few mock tests.
They were quick to claim credit.
He received a call from the director.
> "Beta, we're so proud. Media is asking for a few words—just say you revised with us, we'll handle the rest."
He smiled politely.
> "Sir, I'd prefer not to do any interviews. Just keeping it low profile."
They tried again the next day. And the next.
He ignored them all.

7:00 PM – At Home
His parents were overjoyed.
His mom had tears in her eyes. His dad kept quietly patting his back.
> "You did it, beta… AIIMS Delhi. I'm proud."
He smiled and nodded.
Behind that smile?
Plans. So many plans.

Late at Night – Back in His Room
His phone buzzed nonstop.
He muted everything.
Slid open a notepad.
"Things to do before AIIMS Delhi begins:"
1. Finalize personal OS framework
2. Start building AI-based diagnostic tool
3. Research into neuroplasticity enhancement
4. Build a personal web of anonymity—create 3 fake online aliases
5. Upgrade home internet for future projects
6. Make plans for staying low-key in AIIMS
He paused.
7. Remain ordinary. Always. Let no one suspect.
He stared at that line the longest.
> "I was just another kid from Jaipur… right?"
