In the year 2070, the world had changed in ways no one could have imagined. It all began in 2027, when mysterious dungeons began appearing across the globe, turning ordinary lives into a battle for survival.
Ram, a young man born in this era of chaos, grew up hearing tales of his father, the legendary S-rank fighter who once stood as a beacon of hope. His father's name was etched in history, a symbol of strength and valor. But five years ago, betrayal had struck—a betrayal that led to the downfall of India, leaving Ram to inherit a broken nation.
But Ram was not one to dwell in the shadows of the past. With determination burning in his heart, he set out on a journey to reclaim his homeland and restore it to its former glory.
A week from now, Ram would turn 18, and with it, his Awakening Day would arrive—an event that marked the transition from childhood to a realm of untapped potential. In the world Ram lived in, everyone discovered their unique talents at this age, a moment that shaped their destinies.
Ram was a scion of the House of Shiva, a prestigious lineage that ruled over India. The House of Shiva was known for its strength, honor, and unwavering leadership, and Ram had always felt the weight of his heritage.
After the tragic death of his father, Shiva, Ram found solace and guidance in his loyal butler, who was not only a steadfast companion but also a powerful protector. His butler's strength and wisdom had been invaluable to Ram, helping him navigate the challenges that lay ahead.
The Awakening Ceremony was a revered tradition, drawing people from all corners of the world to witness the transformation. As Ram approached his 18th birthday, he felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. The day would not only reveal the system that would guide him but also illuminate the path he was destined to walk as a member of the House of Shiva, with the unwavering support of his butler by his side.

On the morning of his Awakening Day, Ram stood before the gathered crowd, ready to embrace his destiny.
The Grand Hall of Ascendance shimmered with arcane symbols etched deep into its marble floor. Dozens of youths from noble lineages stood in solemn anticipation, but none drew more whispers than Ram—heir to the fallen House of Shiva, son of the betrayed legend.
His butler, a towering man clad in black ceremonial armor, stood just behind him. Though protocol dictated silence, he leaned in and whispered, "No matter what awakens within you, young master, never forget who you are."
A booming voice echoed through the hall. "Step forward, Ram of House Shiva."
Ram walked into the circle of runes. The ground beneath him pulsed with energy. Everyone's eyes watched, waiting for the light that would determine his fate.
A deep hum filled the air.
A radiant pillar of crimson and gold light exploded upward from Ram's feet, forcing most onlookers to shield their eyes. The air crackled, time itself seeming to pause.
Then—a voice spoke inside his mind. Calm. Mechanical. Unmistakably artificial.
> > "System recognized. Binding initiated. Awakening complete."
"Talent Acquired: Creation and Destruction."
"Rank: ?? (Unquantifiable)."
"Unique Trait Unlocked: Adaptability – S Rank."
> "Trait Description: Adaptability (S Rank) – User can learn, evolve, and optimize skills, environments, and battle styles in real-time. No situation remains a disadvantage for long."
Talent: Creation and Destruction
Rank: ?? (Unquantifiable)
Description:
A primordial talent that defies the known hierarchy of power. Creation and Destruction is the embodiment of duality—order and chaos, life and death, beginning and end. The user gains the ability to manipulate both the essence of formation and the force of annihilation, bending reality to either birth miracles or erase existence.
This talent allows Ram to:
Create: Forge weapons, environments, constructs, even life-like beings, from pure energy or raw elements. This is limited by your imagination.
Destroy: Erase matter, magic, structures, or even concepts, reducing them to nothingness.
Balance: Channel both forces simultaneously to achieve equilibrium or absolute dominance, adapting to any battlefield condition.
However, the true limits and origin of this talent remain unknown.
Ram staggered. The light dimmed. When he opened his eyes, he wasn't the same.
Floating in front of him was a translucent interface, a system only he could see. The crowd gasped as the pressure of his presence warped the space around him. Even the guild leaders shifted uneasily in their seats.
The System continued:
> "You are the anomaly. The heir of a shattered legacy. Your path is not to walk among kings… but to rise above them."
And in that moment, Ram understood: his destiny wasn't to simply revive India.
It was to remake the world.
