In the realm of Gods

As Arth stood frozen on the sidewalk, his gaze fixed on the rush of vehicles before him, his mind swirled with a tumult of emotions. The weight of expectation, the relentless pressure to succeed, it all seemed insurmountable. But just as he prepared to take that final step, his phone vibrated in his pocket, interrupting the chaos within him.

With trembling hands, he pulled out his phone, his heart pounding in his chest. The caller ID displayed a string of unfamiliar characters, nothing he recognized. Against his better judgment, he answered the call.

"Hello?" His voice wavered with uncertainty.

There was a moment of silence on the other end before a deep, resonant voice spoke, sending shivers down Arth's spine. "Arth Sharma, do not despair. Your fate is not yet sealed."

Arth's brows furrowed in confusion. "Who is this? How do you know my name?"

"I am the harbinger of a new beginning," the voice continued cryptically. "Your journey is far from over. Embrace the unknown, for destiny awaits."

Before Arth could utter another word, the line went dead, leaving him staring at his phone in disbelief. Who was that mysterious caller, and what did they mean by "a new beginning"?

Shaken but intrigued, Arth felt a spark of curiosity ignite within him. With a newfound sense of purpose, he tucked his phone back into his pocket and stepped away from the edge of the sidewalk. He had no idea what lay ahead, but he was determined to find out.

As he walked through the bustling streets of Delhi, the world around him seemed to blur into a haze of noise and movement. His mind raced with questions, each one more baffling than the last. What did the caller mean by "destiny awaits"? And how could his fate possibly be anything but bleak?

Lost in thought, Arth hardly noticed when he strayed from his usual path and found himself in a part of the city he'd never explored before. The buildings here were older, the streets narrower, as if he'd stumbled into a forgotten corner of Delhi's past.

As he wandered deeper into this unfamiliar neighborhood, he became aware of a strange sensation tingling at the edge of his consciousness, like static in the air before a storm. It was a feeling of anticipation, of something momentous about to happen.

Suddenly, without warning, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble. Arth staggered, grabbing onto a nearby lamppost for support as the earth shook violently beneath him. People around him screamed and fled, but Arth stood rooted to the spot, unable to tear his gaze away from the unfolding chaos.

And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the trembling stopped. Arth blinked in astonishment, scanning the street for any sign of what had caused the disturbance.

That's when he saw it—a shimmering portal, hovering in mid-air like a rip in the fabric of reality itself. It pulsed with a soft, otherworldly light, beckoning him forward with an irresistible allure.

Heart pounding with a mixture of fear and curiosity, Arth took a hesitant step toward the portal. He had no idea what lay on the other side, but something deep within him urged him to take the plunge.

With a deep breath, he stepped through the portal and felt the world around him dissolve into a kaleidoscope of colors and sensations. And then, with a rush of wind and a blinding flash of light, everything went dark.

When Arth opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a bed of soft grass, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to stretch endlessly toward the sky. The air was thick with the scent of flowers and earth, and a gentle breeze whispered through the leaves overhead.

He sat up slowly, his head spinning with disorientation. Where was he? What had happened to him?

As he struggled to make sense of his surroundings, a figure stepped out from the shadows of the trees, their features obscured by the dappling sunlight. Arth's heart skipped a beat as he watched the figure approach, a sense of unease creeping over him.

"Who are you?" he demanded, his voice quivering with uncertainty.

The figure paused, studying him with an inscrutable gaze. And then, with a voice like the rustle of leaves in the wind, they spoke.

"Welcome, Arth Sharma, to the realm of Gods."

As Arth gazed at the figure before him, a sense of awe mingled with his apprehension. The being standing amidst the ethereal light seemed almost otherworldly, their form fluid like shifting shadows yet exuding an undeniable presence.

"Where... where am I?" Arth stammered, his voice barely more than a whisper.

The figure inclined their head slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of their lips. "You stand now in Celestia, a realm beyond the confines of mortal understanding."

Celestia—the name resonated within Arth like a distant memory, evoking a sense of wonder and trepidation. He struggled to comprehend the magnitude of what lay before him, grappling with the realization that he had been transported to a world beyond his wildest imaginings.
