Chapter 2 - "Prologue – Before the First Step"

August 1st, 2025 – 11:51 PM.A quiet rain. A city asleep. A heart awake.

"And He is with you wherever you are." (Qur'an 57:4)

Some people think life begins at birth.They're wrong.

Life begins when you wake up—not from sleep, but from the illusions you've been living under.For me, that awakening didn't come with a loud explosion, a sudden tragedy, or some Hollywood-style breakthrough. It came quietly, like the slow sharpening of a blade.And by the time you notice a blade is sharp… it's already capable of cutting.

My name is Ishan Belim.But you'll call me Tsuki.

Not because I'm obsessed with the moon's beauty—though I admit, its glow is a kind of quiet miracle. I chose this name because the moon reminds me of purpose. It doesn't matter who looks at it or who ignores it—it still rises, it still shines, and it still obeys the One who created it. And like the moon, I don't exist for applause.

I was born on September 15th, 2006. India.A child of a billion faces, a million voices, and countless roads. But my road was never going to be ordinary—not because I was "special" in the way stories like to paint heroes, but because I was determined to be special in the eyes of Allah Almighty.

The truth?You could take everything from me—wealth, people, comfort—and I'd still wake up with something priceless: faith. And if you have faith, you can rebuild everything else.

I am not the slave of society.I am not the slave of desire.I am not the slave of my ego.I am the servant of the One who created me—Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Just.

That truth alone changes the way you see everything. It makes time sacred, health sacred, even the rain outside this window sacred.

When I was younger, I used to think time was something we used. Now I know the truth—time uses us. Every second is a transaction. Every breath is an agreement. And unlike the deals you can negotiate with people, this one has no extensions.

I do not waste it.Not on distractions, not on cheap temptations, not on meaningless noise.

If it doesn't benefit me in this life or the next—it's irrelevant.

You'll notice something as you hear my story: I'm not a man who speaks much.Not because I have nothing to say, but because I understand the weight of words. Speech is an investment, and I spend it carefully. I will talk to you directly, as if my words have no detour, no extra paint to hide the cracks.

Yes, I am confident.Yes, I am calm.Yes, I am positive in every storm.And no—this is not arrogance. It is discipline.

When I fail, I admit it. When I sin, I repent. When I fall, I stand again—not from scratch, but from experience.

Some people ask why I'm always so composed.The truth? I've built walls. Not walls that keep people out—walls that keep poison out.Thoughts, temptations, envy, arrogance, pride—anything that seeks to corrupt the mind and soul, I reject before it even enters. You could call it a "fourth wall" for the heart.

It's not that I'm unshakable because I was born strong. I am unshakable because I refuse to let what's inside me be weaker than what's outside me.

I've learned that everything—love, pain, loss, joy—is a teacher.I do not fear them. I welcome them, learn from them, and let them shape me. The worst enemy I will ever face is myself. And that is exactly why I will master myself before I seek to master anything else.

And so here I am.Eighteen years have passed.

Tomorrow, August 2nd, 2025, I will wake up and take my first step into a chapter of life that will demand everything I've learned—and everything I've yet to learn.

If you walk with me through this story, you'll see the blessings I count, the mistakes I've made, the temptations I've resisted, and the truths I've discovered.

You'll see how my faith becomes my skill, my logic becomes my weapon, and my patience becomes my armor.

You'll see how I—Tsuki—live a life too real to be fiction, and too extraordinary to be ignored.

Tomorrow, the first skill awakens.Not a power of magic or fantasy, but a gift wrapped in the unseen mercy of Allah.And once it's unlocked, nothing will ever be the same again.

If you're still here when the rain stops,then let's begin.
