The sun rose over the Chakra Mountains, casting golden light on the village of Prithvi Gaon. Birds sang, and the wind carried the faint scent of blooming herbs and fertile earth. Yet even as the world awoke, an unusual aura lingered around the small hut at the village edge.
Ratan, now a small boy of five years, lay awake on his straw bed. His black eyes, deeper than any midnight, flickered with a faint inner light. Though a child, his mind had begun to grasp the flow of Primal Chakra Energy, something no ordinary human could sense at this age.
Suhani, his mother, hovered nearby, a gentle smile on her lips. She had spent the past months teaching him the rudimentary ways of feeling energy—how it moved within his body, how it resonated with the elements, and how it could be shaped even without formal cultivation tools.
"Focus, Ratan," she whispered softly. "Feel the earth beneath you. Your Muladhara, your Root Chakra, is your foundation. It connects you to all life around you. Close your eyes and sense it."
The boy's small hands trembled as he pressed his palms against the floor. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, a faint vibration spread through the straw beneath him, and the wooden floor seemed to hum in resonance with his heartbeat.
Suhani's eyes widened in quiet astonishment. "He's… already beginning to harmonize naturally."
Even Mahadev, observing silently from the doorway, allowed a rare smile to cross his face. His son's potential exceeded even the clan's highest expectations.
The First Test
That afternoon, Ratan followed his father to the edge of the village. A small grove of trees marked the boundary between human settlement and the wild mountains beyond. Hidden within the shadows of the grove was a lesser spiritual beast, drawn to the village by the boy's aura.
It emerged with a low, guttural hiss. Its black scales shimmered unnaturally, and eyes glowed red with malice. Even seasoned villagers would have fled, but Ratan stood still, sensing the flow of his own energy against the beast's aura.
Mahadev's voice was calm yet commanding. "Do not fear, but act. Let your body respond naturally."
Ratan's hands rose instinctively. A faint glow appeared around his small arms, a golden shimmer that reflected the Root Chakra's energy. The beast lunged, but before its claws could strike, it was stopped mid-air by an invisible barrier. A ripple of energy radiated from Ratan's chest, throwing the creature several feet back.
The villagers, who had gathered silently to witness, gasped. The boy had done what no mortal child could—he had manipulated chakra externally, creating a rudimentary protective field.
A Hint of Future Power
As the beast scrambled to escape, Ratan's small mind focused further. He felt a surge of energy from the mountain itself—the Prithvi Tattva awakening in harmony with his Root Chakra. Tiny stones lifted into the air around him, circling gently before settling back on the ground.
Mahadev nodded approvingly. "This… is only the beginning. One day, you will control not just the earth beneath your feet, but the very forces of life itself."
Suhani knelt beside Ratan, brushing a lock of black hair from his glowing forehead. "Remember, my son, the path is yours, but it is dangerous. The Seven Chakra Path is not a road walked by ordinary men. One misstep, and it can consume your very soul."
Ratan's black eyes met hers, unafraid. Even as a child, he understood the weight of destiny pressing upon him. He was not born to be ordinary.
Lessons of the Clan
In the evenings, Ratan's siblings began to participate in his education. Devika, graceful and sharp, taught him the first principles of the God Path—how to sense the flow of life in living beings, how to recognize intentions, and how emotions could influence chakra flow.
Arjun, sturdy and determined, worked with him on the Immortal Path, training the boy's body to endure pain and stress beyond human limits. He would push Ratan to lift heavy stones, run up the mountain paths, and resist the cold mountain winds, all while maintaining focus on chakra control.
Even the elders, Vishwanath and Savitry, offered guidance. They could no longer physically move like they once had, but their presence alone transmitted knowledge directly into Ratan's growing consciousness. At night, their spirits whispered lessons into his dreams, planting seeds of understanding far beyond a child's comprehension.
First Rivalries and Village Tensions
Not all eyes upon Ratan were kind. Other children avoided him, whispering about the strange light surrounding his body. Adults, too, cast wary glances, unsure whether this child was a blessing or a curse.
"Keep him inside," one villager warned Mahadev. "He's unnatural. If other clans learn of this, they will come for him."
Mahadev's voice was steady. "Let them come. Ratan will not remain small forever. One day, he will make even the gods bow before him."
Even at age five, Ratan could sense the currents of human fear and jealousy around him. He did not understand them fully, but he understood their energy—weak, fragile, and predictable. He would surpass all of it.
First Hints of Harem and Family Destiny
That day, a strange event occurred. While wandering near the river with Suhani, Ratan encountered three girls from neighboring villages. They were ordinary in every sense, yet their aura—slight, flickering, untrained—reacted strongly to Ratan's energy.
Suhani whispered softly, almost to herself, "The future wives… perhaps they are already sensing him."
Indeed, even in childhood, the threads of fate were weaving silently. Sunita, Ishita, and Kavya, though only children themselves, felt inexplicable curiosity toward this boy, as if the universe itself had marked him.
Nightfall and Inner Awakening
As the day ended and the sky darkened, Ratan lay on a small hill, watching the mountains. The Root Chakra hummed softly in his spine, and an unfamiliar warmth spread through his body. It was the first time he felt the awakening of the next chakra—the Svadhisthana, the Sacral Chakra, signaling early control over emotions and desire, even before he fully understood them.
In his small mind, he thought: "I am not like them. I am different. I will grow stronger, and nothing will stop me."
Suhani's gentle voice echoed in his thoughts: "Yes, my son… this is only the beginning. Your journey has just begun."
The night was calm, yet beneath the surface of the mountains, hidden in the shadows of ancient trees and forgotten ruins, faint glows of spiritual beasts stirred. They sensed the boy's awakening and whispered among themselves in tones older than the mountains.
"The child… the chosen… is awake."
And with that, the first true stirrings of Ratan's journey toward the Eternal Chakra God had begun.
