Chapter 4 - CHAPTER:-4 First Challenge, First Secret

Dharmesh was still thinking whether he should complete the challenge or not.

"If I complete this challenge, maybe I can reach my first level. Who knows, I might get an even bigger reward," Dharmesh thought.

Just as he was about to act, a voice came from behind, "What's going on here?"

Rocky turned around and was startled. Standing behind was another teacher — Pooja Sindhiya.

"Nothing, teacher. We were just talking," Rocky said with a fake smile and quickly went back to his seat.

Dharmesh couldn't complete the challenge in front of the teacher, so he too sat down.

"Your usual teacher is on leave today, so I'll be taking your class," said Pooja Sindhiya and began teaching.

After school, Dharmesh returned home. As soon as he sat in his room, a notification popped up.

When he checked it, he felt disappointed. It read:

**"Challenge Failed."**

Dharmesh didn't think much about the challenge and instead began completing his daily task.

Within 20 days, Dharmesh leveled up.

As the level completed, a voice echoed in his system:

**"Congratulations! You've crossed Level 1. You've received 1 Super Point. To reach Level 2, you need 200 EXP."**

"That's it? I thought I'd get something big. But this doesn't feel that special. And now I have to wait 40 more days for the next level?" Dharmesh muttered.

He re-read the message about the Super Point.

After exploring a bit, Dharmesh found out that he could assign the Super Point to either Strength, Agility, or Stamina.

After some thought, Dharmesh chose to increase his **Stamina**, which now became 11.

Using that boost, he began searching around.

What he found surprised him. Everything looked advanced.

Still, he couldn't find anything useful.

"There's nothing here. Maybe I should go beyond that door — perhaps I'll discover something there," Dharmesh thought and opened the door.

The door led him back into the same cave he had visited earlier.

"I won't go outside the cave. It's dangerous out there. I need to find something useful here," Dharmesh decided and began searching. But even after looking everywhere, he found nothing.

Eventually, his eyes fell on the **tablet** attached to the door.

"Last time when I touched this, it scanned me. And after that, I got the system. Maybe if I touch it again, I'll learn something new," Dharmesh thought and walked up to the tablet.

He raised his hand and placed it on the tablet for scanning.

After a few seconds of scanning, a message popped up in his system:

**"You've received a video."**

Dharmesh wanted to remove his hand before playing the video, but the scan was still ongoing.

"Maybe I got this video because of the scan. Who knows — if I let it scan longer, I might get more videos," Dharmesh thought and kept his hand on the tablet.

But no more videos came, and the scan finally ended. He removed his hand.

"Nothing else… Maybe the video has something important," Dharmesh thought.

"But how do I watch it inside the system?"

He tried playing it. Dharmesh realized he could control the system with his mind and make it do what he wanted.

So, he mentally commanded the system to play the video.

And what appeared in front of him was his **grandfather — Omkar Gupta**.

Omkar began speaking:

> "For a long time, I tried to create something unique and powerful. But I kept failing again and again.

> When I had given up all hope, I discovered another world — and I went there.

> In that world, I became friends with a man known as 'The Professor.'

>

> The Professor was incredibly intelligent. Nothing was impossible for him. I spent years with him. He taught me about that world and everything in it.

>

> One day, I shared my dream — to build a system stronger than anything else. I asked for his help.

>

> He said, 'That's a noble dream. If we build such a system, it could help us fight the threats we're facing.'

>

> At that time, alien forces were threatening those planets. They could attack at any moment.

>

> So together, we began creating the system.

>

> After five years, we succeeded. But the system needed a **host**.

>

> We couldn't trust just anyone. The Professor had no family. He couldn't pass it on.

>

> I considered giving it to my son, but he had anger issues. If he got this power, he might misuse it.

>

> So, we decided the system itself would choose its rightful host.

>

> Years passed, but we found no suitable candidate. The system started to weaken.

>

> I told the Professor to upgrade it so it could evolve on its own over time.

>

> He agreed. We worked two more years and succeeded. The system could now keep improving itself.

>

> But in just three more years, the system became so advanced that it was even harder to give away.

>

> And I was growing old. My friend, being from another world, aged slowly — his race could live 300 years.

>

> Then suddenly, he disappeared. I searched everywhere, but he was gone.

>

> Afraid I couldn't manage alone, I stored the system inside a chip and placed it at the door to the inner world.

>

> I left it all to fate — whoever scanned through that door would become its heir.

>

> But I feared — what if it fell into the wrong hands? This was now a **Super System**.

>

> Later, I was diagnosed with cancer. I knew I didn't have much time left.

>

> I just hoped that this house would reach my descendants, and someone from my bloodline would inherit the system.

>

> If you're watching this video, then you've already received the Super System.

>

> I want you to know this: this system will make you incredibly powerful — but only if you complete the challenges it gives.

>

> Over time, you'll understand everything.

>

> I hope you are part of my family. I hope you will make my name proud."

The video ended. And with it, the file was deleted — Dharmesh couldn't watch it again.

"So all this was done by my grandfather and his friend, The Professor... They created this system. If I follow their vision and embrace this system, I can become very powerful — maybe even make my grandfather's name known across the world," Dharmesh thought.

Dharmesh was filled with joy about the system but told **no one**. If anyone found out, it could be dangerous.

"Grandpa said I'll have to complete many challenges… but right now, there's nothing challenging. Drinking water daily — it gives only 5 points. It's getting boring," he thought.

"I have to do something fast… Maybe I need to **step out of this cave and search for the Professor**."

Will Dharmesh find The Professor?

To find out, read the next episode.
