Chapter 21 - CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE Cube

Next morning, Kalp goes to the Vice principal office. Professor Ava's office is small. In the office, there are four chairs, a table, two big glass cabinets and few paintings of previous teachers, students and Martin Luther. In one cabinet, there are books, and in another, there is purple sphere orb, trophies, a few different stones and an unsolved 3*3 glass cube.

'Professor, may I come in?' Kalp asked.

'Kalp, come in.' Ava said.

'Kalp, I talked to the principal, but he said if he takes an action then other teachers and Noble students will definitely create trouble and he cannot expel so many students and teachers for one student.' Ava said and Kalp gets sad.

'I am sorry, Kalp, I can't do anything in this.' Ava said sadly.

'It's okay, professor. By the way, I come here for this.' Kalp gives an application to Ava.

Ava reads the application and gets angry.

'How can anyone go into your room? Did you tell warden?' Ava asked.

'Yes professor, but it looks like, he doesn't want to investigate who did that.' Kalp said.

'I feel sorry for you. I wish I could do something.' Ava said.

'It's okay Professor, you are already doing a lot for me.' Kalp said.

'You are a good person. Anyways, I will send the books and uniform in your room by the evening and for regular clothes do you have money or have they been stolen too?' Ava asked.

'No professor, they are saved. I hid them somewhere else.' Kalp said.

'Good, you can buy new clothes from shops which are opened in Dormitory and I will send someone to fix your door lock.' Ava said.

'Thank you, professor.' Kalp says and is about to leave then he sees a mirror cube.

'Professor, can I see that?' Kalp said pointing his finger towards the cube.

'That, yes, you can.' Ava said.

Kalp takes out cube from the cabinet.

'It's a cube, this cube only exist in the previous world. So, in that puzzle, Martin was giving clue of this cube.' Kalp thought.

'What happened, Kalp?' Ava asked.

'Nothing, Professor, can I keep this cube for a while?' Kalp asked.

'You know, this cube was made by ex-principal Martin Luther. He was a genius. He gave this cube to my professor with a message to give it to the person who can solve it. But we didn't find anyone. A few were able to complete it, but couldn't answer the questions correctly. So that's why, he has given this cube to me.' Ava said.

'If you are able to accomplish that, it will be yours.' Ava said.

'Professor, I will solve this cube.' Kalp said excitedly.

'Good, tell me when you complete it.' Ava said.

'Okay professor, thank you.' Saying this Kalp leaves from there.

In the night, Kalp is solving the cube lying on the mattress under the moonlight. He solves the whole cube, then suddenly cube starts floating and a blue light starts glowing from inside it.

'What…! This is so beautiful!' Kalp said.

Cube begins to reveal questions. 'The answer can be approximately. First question, when did the first World War start?' Projection.

'Ohh, so it is making sure through this. Nice idea.' Kalp thought.

'1918'- answered Kalp.

'Second question, how many continents are there on the earth?' Projection.

'Seven.' Kalp replied.

'Third question, what is the real name of the lighting train?' Projection.

'Bullet train.' Kalp answered.

'Forth question, which country you were from?' Projection.

'India.' Kalp replied.

'Fifth question, what was your name?' Projection.

'Was my name…' Kalp said thoughtfully, 'Kuldeep.'

'Congratulations, you have answered correctly. Now, sprinkle your blood on the cube.' Projection.

'Blood drop, Okay.' Kalp talks to himself and then he makes a very small cut on finger with his sword and drips the blood onto the cube.

Then Kalp's body goes inside the cube.

There is nothing inside the cube, only white color is visible, as the sky and earth are merged in white colour. This place is endless, then suddenly a forty years old man comes out of ground, he is wearing a white cloak, he has blonde short hair and little beard. He is Marin Luther.

'Hello, Kalp or should I call you Kuldeep.' Martin says.

'Hello, Professor Martin, you can't believe that how happy I am.' Kalp said.

'So, you're not dead and living this cube?' Asked Kalp and then they both started walking together.

'No, I'm dead. I left a little piece of my soul in this cube. Now, I meet you, so that I can go back to my new body.' Martin said.

'So, this will be our first and last meeting.' Kalp said being furious.

'So, tell me something about your past life?' Martin asked.

'I was an orphan and became the youngest scientist. I was working on a project, when I completed that project, my colleague whose name was Adarsh shah, killed me. I died at the age of twenty-seven and the year was 2030.' Kalp says but interrupts by Martin.

'Adarsh shah, I have heard this name. Wait, are you talking about that Adarsh Shah who made the Teleportation device?' Martin asks in astonishment.

'I made that Teleportation device and after I succeed, he killed me. So, he took all the credit.' Kalp said angrily.

'You made that cursed device.' Martin said.

'Cursed device? What do you mean by that?' Kalp asked.

'Yes, that device was the cause for world war three, and almost 80% of the population was wiped out from the earth.' Martin said and Kalp get shocked hearing this.

'I made that device for a better future for humanity. I didn't think that this could happen.' Kalp said in a sad tone.

'Yes, sometimes, what we think doesn't happen.' Martin said while thinking something.

'So, what's your story?' Kalp asked.

'My name was Kim young, I lived in South Korea. I was an architect. I was died at age of forty. My wife was pregnant when the war started and government called me to fight. I thought the war would stop within a few days or maximum take a month, but it took ten years and when the war stopped, I thought I would finally meet my family, but when I returned home I found my family had died in missile attack ten years ago. I lost the will to live and died on the same night.' Martin said.

'I am so sorry, because of me…' Kalp said.

'No, that's not your fault. It was Adarsh's fault. He sold that Device to North Korea and because of that, almost every big country got involved in the war either voluntarily or by force.' Martin said.

'So, who won the war?' Kalp asked.

 'No one. After losing, the survivors of those countries stopped the war by mutual agreement and they destroyed that device, every major weapon, nuclear bombs and every related documents.' Martin said.

'So, when did you realize that you were reincarnated?' Kalp asked.

'When I was eight years old, I was born in a lower noble family and thanks to the knowledge of my previous life, I was able to become most famous and respected by everyone.' Martin said.

'And also, hated by a few peoples' Kalp said.

'Yes, seeing the growth of my family, other noble families were getting disenfranchised and they poisoned me by using my stepbrother. Do you know any member of my family? I had a son and I think now, he will have a son or a daughter of around your age.' Martin asked.

'No, I didn't know but I'll look for them. Is there anything, you want to tell them?' Kalp asked.

'If you find them, give this energy crystal. With the help of this, they can jump 8 primary stages and their Mana absorbing power will also be improved. It can be helpful only if they have not crossed orange stage because after the orange stage, it will not be so helpful, it will only help them to jump 2 or 3 primary stages.' Martin takes that crystal out of his storage ring which is in black and purple color and the crystal is in blue color.

'Okay, I promise you that I will give it to them.' Kalp said.

'And tell them that their grandfather loves them.' Martin says and Kalp smiles.

'And this storage ring is for you. Now only you can open this ring. For others, this is an ordinary ring. In this, there are few gold and silver coins and a few magic spell and sword technique books.' Martin gives that ring to Kalp.

'I want to ask one thing, how did you make this cube with so much Mana and different space?' Kalp asked.

'I didn't make it. I have made only the second part of the cube, inside the cube there is a crystal of circular shape. I found that crystal and I don't know who made that crystal ball, but it helped me to become strong because one month here is equal to one day outside and it also acts as gravity chamber where the owner can also increase or decrease gravity.' Martin said.

'This is the most powerful weapon, why did you give it to me? You can give it to your son.' Kalp asked.

'It's a powerful weapon if somebody leaked about it. The same thing will happen that happened on earth. That's why I decided not to give it to anyone and hid it in a mirror cube. With some questions which can be answered by earth people so that in this world, no one can find the truth about this cube. And I also want to meet someone same as me.' Martin said.

'What if a bad person came from earth and got the cube?' Kalp asked.

'Then I would have killed him because when you enter in this space, I can read your mind and your whole past of sixteen years. I know everything about you.' Martin said.

'So, if I was a bad person, you would kill me.' Kalp says.

'Correct.' Martin's feet start disappearing.

'Looks like, my time has come.' Martin said.

'Thank you for everything, professor.' Saying this Kalp lowers his head.

'Take care of yourself Kalp.' Martin disappears saying this

Kalp comes out of the cube and puts the cube inside the storage ring.
