Aryan: When Emperor Vikramaditya saw the bodies of his concubines, he was enraged. But when he learned about the curse tied to the books, his anger was replaced by fear. Afterward, the Emperor ordered his army commander to begin a full-scale search for the seven magical books. For a month, his entire army scoured the land for the books. Then, on the night of Maha Shivaratri, while Emperor Vikramaditya was asleep, Mahashiv appeared in his dreams and said:
"The books you are seeking are in their rightful places. When the time comes, they will reunite for the protection of humanity. The fruits of your virtues will be passed on to your descendants, and your lineage shall be blessed."
Aryan: After this, Mahashiv left Vikramaditya's dream. The Emperor then understood the divine will and ordered his army to return. He never again attempted to search for the books. Time passed, dynasties changed, and people gradually forgot about the seven magical books. In the present day, no one even knows where they are.
Kiara: Oh, but how do you know all this? And what exactly are in those books?
Aryan: I know a lot, but there are still things I don't understand. That's why I need those seven books.
Kiara: What are the unique powers of these books?
Aryan: The first book (1) is the Book of Tantra Shakti – you might know it as Sham al-Ma'arif. Most people mistake it for just a book of dark magic, but in reality, it contains powerful tantric spells, the likes of which you can't even imagine.
The second book (2) is the Book of Mantra Shakti – this book is completely different from the first. It channels the power of mantras. With the spells in this book, anyone can invoke and please any deity. In short, this book allows you to control gods at your will.
The third book (3) is the Book of Yantra Shakti – it combines the powers of both tantra and mantra. It's similar to the other two, but it focuses on using the power of machines and tools. It's akin to the divine powers of Lord Vishwakarma, the architect of the gods, from Hindu mythology.
The fourth book (4) is the Divine Ayurvedic Book – unlike the other books which deal with destruction or creation, this one is about preservation. It contains all the knowledge of divine and earthly herbal remedies. It was written by the Doctors of Gods and provides information on every kind of medicinal herb and its uses.
The fifth book (5) is the Book of Justice – as the name suggests, this book teaches you about justice, its power, its meaning, and how to punish wrongdoers.
The sixth book (6) is the Book of Time – this book holds the secrets and power of time itself.
The seventh book (7) is the Book of Space – it contains knowledge about the universe and its cosmic forces.
Kiara: But where are these books now?
Aryan: No one knows where they are.
Kiara: Aryan, I have one question for you.
Aryan: Yes?
Kiara: Master Brahman told me that you've attained Brahm Gyaan (Divine Knowledge). Does the knowledge in these books surpass Brahm Gyaan?
Aryan: No, the knowledge in these books isn't the same as Brahm Gyaan, but their power is not any less.
Aryan: Alright, enough questions for today. Now, focus on your martial arts practice.
Kiara: Fine, I'll get to it.
After their practice, as evening came, Aryan left for home at 6 PM. When he got home, his friends Abhi, Biraj, Swaroop, Pushpita, Mondeep, and Smita called him on a conference call. Upon receiving the call, Aryan said:
Aryan: Hello.
Abhi: Aryan, Biraj, Swaroop, Pushpita, Mondeep, and Smita are also on the call.
Aryan: Hmm.
Biraj: Aryan, we called to ask if you've joined a private tutor yet?
Aryan: No, I haven't approached any private tutors yet.
Abhi: So, Aryan, why don't you join Deepon Sir as a private tutor with us?
Aryan: I haven't really thought about it yet.
Biraj: There's no need to think. You're joining Deepon Sir's tuition with us. It's final.
Aryan: Alright, fine. But I'll need to ask Deepon Sir about the timing.
Smita: Don't worry about the timing, Aryan. Deepon Sir will start his tuition at 6 PM.
Aryan: Okay, but I'll have to get permission from my parents first.
(Aryan's family is very wealthy, but Aryan hasn't hired a personal driver because he enjoys driving himself, and it's his passion. His mother is very protective and doesn't allow him to stay out after sunset without a valid reason.)
Smita: Fine, talk to your mom about it.
Abhi: Aryan, one more thing.
Aryan: What?
Abhi: Deepon Sir has already started his tuition classes, so don't worry too much. Otherwise, you'll miss out on a lot of subjects.
Aryan: Okay, I'll talk to my mom today.
Abhi: Great, talk soon.
Aryan: Alright, I'm ending the call now.
After ending the call, Aryan sat down to read the books Kiara had brought. As he studied, time flew by, and before he knew it, night had fallen. He ate dinner and then went to bed on time.
Will Aryan ever succeed in mastering Sham al-Ma'arif?
What will happen when the seven magical books reunite?
And will Aryan join Deepon Sir's tuition?
