Chapter 2 - Ravana’s Choice And Training Arc

Hhh—haah—hh—

He dropped to his knees.

His vision flickered.

clutching his head. "Ugh—!"

Cain stayed frozen, panting, sweat dripping down his chin. His head throbbed with a deep, pulsing ache—

He lifted his trembling hand, staring at it as if it no longer belonged to him.

And softly, fearfully, he breathed:

"…What did you put inside my mind?"

Ravana looked down at him and said—

"The original future"

Hah… so this really is that self fulfilment novel My friend wrote

I can't believe this!!

Ravana seeing that his breath had steadied started speaking

"That was the future this world was destined to face."

"Until you came."

I won't ask you who you are and how you came here.

But if you are to live in this world, you'll inevitably face them. "Those gods amd creatures of the BEYOND"

"**** of every world i could have transmigrated into, i had to be tranported in this doomed world \(>->)/"

"Wait, what do you mean by until i came?"

This world which has thrived for Eons, was destined for doom, and no one in this world could change it's fate.

Since we all are connected to the thread of fate, and people connected to the thread of fate cannot defy fate itself.

Ravana explains

"So you mean im not connected to this thread of fate?"

"Yes

You can break the destiny I could not.

You can fight what this world cannot resist."

Cain doesn't feel heroic.

He feels terrified.

That's a whole lot of responsibility to put on someone's shoulders you have just met!!

And im not even from this world!!

Before he could protest:

Ravana stood—this massive, twenty-foot sovereign—

Spoke words that shifted Cain's entire life:

"Become my deciple."

Who could ressit such a lucrative offer?

Although he didn't know Ravana from this novel. But he did know about Ravana from the original mythology and he was definitely not weak!!

From what i know about this novel, there was never such a forest, and gods from hindu mythology didn't existed in the original novel.

So is Ravana the only hindu God in this novel? Or are there others as well?

No use of thinking about such things now.

Once im out of here I'll naturally find out.

I can't wait to become the strongest in this world \(^=^)/

Cain kowtowed and raised his butt to make his head seem even lower

"Please accept this filial deciple SHISHOU!!!"

"Rise my deciple"

As soon as cain heard this words he stood up and his smile grew to shit eating proportions.

And he started rubbing his hands like a greedy merchant. Just as he stepped forward.

Shnk—whoosh!

Cain was thrown aside into the air with an invisible force naked to human eyes

BOOM!

"Ugh—"

"What was that for!!? Am i not your deciple?"

"Ahem—"

Its nothing personal,

just that your face startled me for a bit"

"F*** you!! You mean to say my smile startled a worn and torn warrior God like you?!! I call BS."

Was what cain wanted to say but he didn't and just simply lowered his head and apologised.

"Sorry for that master"

"Ahem—"

It's ok.

Since even i don't how long it'll take me to teach you everything, And we'll be going into full training mode for more than 100 years and you can those guys standing outside to do the h chores

What?!!

100 years?!!

By the time my training is done I'll be an old man!! When am I supposed to enjoy life if not now in my teenage years?!!

Shnk—whoosh!

BOOM!

What do you think is more important?!

Saving this world or enjoying your teenage life?!!

Cain stood up straight in attention position

And saluted to Ravana Said—

"Saving the world! Sir!!"

With a straight face

Leaving Ravana speechless

"By the way master who are those guys outside the temple?"

Cain asked

"Those are my phantom servants who dont eat and deficate and cant die without my permission, they prevent anyone from entering the temple"

Ravana explained

Then how was i able to enter?

Cain asked

Ravana smiled—

"Because i led you here"

At first they went to deal with other intruders but later, After sensing your peculiarity i made them lead you here.

Gulp.

Ha..haha…. master why don't we start training?

Let's see how you fare…

YEAR 1 — SURVIVAL AND BREAKING THE MORTAL LIMIT

Cain began as an ordinary human, so Ravana began with what he called:

"The Shattering of Weakness."

Physical Training

100 push-ups

100 sit-ups

100 squats

10 km run

No AC in summer

No heater in winter

Three meals a day (a banana for breakfast)

Running barefoot across dense jungle roots

Climbing 200-meter cliffs without equipment

Carrying stone blocks that weighed more than he did

Swimming in black underground lakes full of unseen creatures

Surviving week-long fasts to condition his survival instincts

Ravana didn't help him.

He simply watched from afar with folded arms.

"If your body collapses, all the training becomes meaningless."

By the end of Year 1:

Cain could run for hours without fatigue

His reflexes sharpened

His senses expanded

But most importantly:

His mind adapted to pressure and fear.

He had stopped being a boy.

YEAR 2 — MENTAL FORTIFICATION (THE WISDOM DISCIPLINE)

Ravana's true power wasn't strength—it was wisdom.

So the second year was brutal in a different way.

Exercises included:

Meditating under waterfalls that crushed his lungs

Solving logic puzzles that changed every time he blinked

Surviving illusions Ravana cast to test sanity

Being forced to relive painful memories until emotion no longer controlled him

He learned:

Clarity under pressure

Split-second decision making

Absolute emotional regulation

Ravana said:

"Dominance begins with understanding. Not power."

Cain's mind became sharper than a blade.

YEAR 3 — AURA OF DOMINANCE (FIRST CONTACT WITH POWER)

Ravana finally introduced Cain to his first supernatural concept:

Dominance Aura

The ability to impose one's will onto the world.

Cain learned to:

Make animals freeze with a glance

Intimidate beasts ten times his size

Bend small objects by focusing intent

Strengthen his body through sheer force of will

This year nearly killed him.

Why?

Because dominance fights back.

If one's will isn't strong enough, it devours the user.

By the end of Year 3:

Cain developed the faint outline of Sovereign Presence—

the early seed of Ravana's trademark power.

YEAR 4 — HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT

Ravana had eight arms during combat and countless lifetimes of combat experience.

Cain had none.

Year 4 was pure martial hell.

Training included:

Fighting Ravana's manifested avatars

Practicing until his bones fractured

Learning stance, footing, breathing, momentum

Weapon training with:

spears

straight swords

heavy polearms

Ravana's personal "Dominance Staff"

He was beaten every day.

Every. Single. Day.

Ravana never reduced his strength—he simply said:

"To learn from me, you must survive me."

By the end, Cain's fighting ability reached the level of elite vanguard…

and this was only pre-foundation training.

YEAR 5 — ENERGY MANIPULATION (SOVERIGN CORE CREATION)

Ravana guided Cain through the formation of a unique power center.

Unlike bloodline users who inherited "divine essence,"

Cain had no divine blood.

So Ravana shaped something new:

The Sovereign Core

A core powered by:

intent

will

perception

and self-determination

This made Cain's power fate-resistant.

He could grow infinitely—as long as he kept choosing to.

He spent this year:

Circulating Ravana's divine energy through his veins

Opening spiritual pathways

Strengthening his soul

Learning to sense danger and emotions in his surroundings

Cain body transformed from human… to something else.

YEAR 6 — PHILOSOPHY OF WISDOM (THE "ASK AND SEE" TRAINING)

Ravana's wisdom was terrifying.

He couldsee potential futures,

understand truths by observation,

detect lies instantly,

solve any problem via logic and insight.

So Cain spent Year 6 learning:

Meta-Understanding

The ability to see the truth behind actions.

This was a year of silent lessons.

Every day, Ravana asked:

"What did you witness today?

Now tell me what you understood."

Cain learned:

how to read intentions

how to see beneath the surface

how to predict outcomes

how to build strategies

how to dismantle deception

By the end of this year, Cain's intellect rivaled top scholars.

YEAR 7 — FUTURE SIGHT TRAINING (THE THREADS OF POSSIBILITY)

Ravana didn't teach Cain full Future Sight—that would break his mind.

But he taught micro-sight:

The ability to see the immediate next moment if he focuses.

Cain learned,

predicting enemy movemen,

sensing danger seconds before it occurs

seeing "choices" as faint glowing paths

sensing fluctuations in fate

This ability would later allow him to avoid deadly scenarios effortlessly.

YEAR 8 — DOMINANCE ART (THE REAL POWER BEGINS)

This was the year he learned Ravana's true strength:

The Art of Dominance

Control over:

space

pressure

intent

momentum

spiritual weight

Cain learned how to:

crush enemies without touching them

manifest invisible pressure

walk as if the world bowed to him

create invisible barriers

bend reality slightly

This was the year Cain became monstrous.

YEAR 9 — TRANSCENDENT BODY TRAINING

Ravana broke Cain's body every day.

And rebuilt it.

Through divine medicines,

Wild jingsengs,

submersion in mana-rich pools,

absorption of rare minerals.

Cain's body became

faster

harder

stronger

more resilient than normal divine-blooded users

By Year 9, he was no longer "human."

He was elite king level.

YEAR 10 — SPIRITUAL DOMINANCE (RAVANA'S GREATEST GIFT)

This year focused on soul training.

Cain learned:

how to anchor his soul

how to resist mental attacks

how to suppress enemies through spirit alone

how to understand truth without being told

He also learned the Sovereign's Gaze—

A gaze so powerful it could:

reveal lies

expose weaknesses

intimidate powerful beings

suppress divine bloodlines

YEAR 11 — FINAL PREPARATION & INHERITANCE

This year Ravana prepared him to carry his mantle.

Cain learned:

Ravana's entire library of forbidden knowledge

lost techniques

secret truths of the world

how the Doomsday would unfold

Finally—

Ravana placed all eight hands on Cain's soul.

He transferred his knowledge.

His combat mastery.

His divine authority.

But one thing remained missing:

Ravana's Full Power Core

Something Ravana hid ages ago

—even from himself.

Only Cain can retrieve it.

And his soul domain which only cain can use.
