The hospital room smelled of antiseptic and silence. Machines beeped in the background—slow, steady, almost as if counting down to something inevitable.
Shaurya lay on the bed, pale and thin, his once energetic body now reduced to skin and bones. Stage four cancer. The doctor had just broken the news.
"There's not much time left," the voice echoed in the room, low and cautious.
Shaurya didn't react with tears or fear. He simply stared at the ceiling, blinking slowly. Then, after a long moment of silence, he nodded.
It wasn't that he had given up.
He had understood.
That night, against medical advice and with barely enough strength to walk, Shaurya left the hospital.
He travelled to the mountains, where the skies were clear and time seemed to pause. A massive temple of Lord Vishnu stood amidst the cliffs, silent and eternal. Inside, a giant idol of Lord Vishnu radiated calm divinity. Eyes closed, hands in blessing, the Lord sat atop the coiled Sheshnaag, watching over the universe.
Shaurya knelt before the statue. His breaths were shallow, his heartbeat faint, but there was peace in his eyes.
"My Lord…" he whispered, voice cracking, "I'll be coming to you soon."
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to chant.
"Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya..."
Again and again.
For minutes. Then hours. Then an entire day.
As time passed, his breathing grew slower. His voice weaker. But the mantra continued, soft and unwavering.
Until finally… it stopped.
Shaurya's body leaned forward gently and fell still.
A soft smile lingered on his lips.
Silence.
And then… light.
A golden radiance enveloped his body, and his soul slowly rose, glowing with purity and peace.

What awaited him was unlike anything he had imagined.
The darkness faded, replaced by surreal beauty. Golden lotus flowers floated across rivers of light. Celestial music echoed in the distance. He had entered Vaikuntha, the eternal realm of Lord Vishnu.
Shaurya's soul floated peacefully in the divine space when suddenly, a golden panel of light shimmered before him. It pulsed softly, sacred Sanskrit letters dancing in midair.
And then He appeared.
Lord Vishnu—blue-skinned, radiant, with four arms holding the conch, discus, lotus, and mace—stood in front of him, smiling gently.
Shaurya's soul trembled.
He fell to his knees, overwhelmed by awe, tears of devotion streaming from eyes that no longer existed.
"Narayan!" he cried. "I… I don't deserve this…"
The Lord raised his hand in blessing. His smile deepened.
"Tathastu," He said.
In that moment, a golden thread of divine energy shot from Vishnu's palm and struck Shaurya's soul.

Shaurya could only watch in stunned silence as light began to swirl around him. Then, without warning, he began to fall—pulled from Vaikuntha into the void.

Shaurya screamed—not in pain, but in overwhelming energy—as his soul fused into the new vessel.
Then—silence.

When he opened his eyes, he was lying on a grassy hill under a sky that held two suns.
The air felt different. Richer. Alive with energy.
He sat up slowly, blinking in confusion.
Trees he had never seen before surrounded him. The land was vibrant and surreal.
"Where… am I?" he murmured.
Just then, a glowing blue panel appeared before his eyes, floating in the air.
> Welcome, Host.

Shaurya stared at the panel, mouth open.

Shaurya's eyes widened in joy.
He clenched his fists, trembling with excitement.
"I don't have to waste decades cultivating… I can rise with Dharma! This… This is the chance I dreamed of while lying in that hospital bed."
Shaurya looked up at the sky and smiled.
"Thank you… Lord Narayan. I will not waste this life."
Just then, the system chimed again, louder than before.
