.

In the heart of our familiar world lies a secret so profound that it has shaped the course of history yet remains hidden from the eyes of mankind.

.

On the surface, Earth appears much as it always has, with its bustling cities, sprawling landscapes, and teeming oceans. But beneath this facade of normalcy lies a realm pulsating with magic, a realm woven into the very fabric of existence itself.

.

For centuries, Earth has been a playground for the arcane, a stage where mystic forces dance in the shadows, influencing the destinies of nations and individuals alike.

Yet, as civilizations evolved and the modern era dawned, the presence of magic began to fade from the collective consciousness of humanity.

.

What was once revered as divine became relegated to the realm of myth and legend, buried beneath layers of skepticism and disbelief.

.

But magic never truly vanished. Instead, it retreated into the hidden corners of the world, concealed from mortal sight by powerful enchantments and ancient wards. Only a select few, those with a keen sensitivity to the arcane, could perceive the subtle threads of magic that still wove through the tapestry of reality.

Industrialization, deforestation, and the burning of fossil fuels have led to climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, posing significant challenges to the health of our planet.

.

.

Space Exploration: Scientific exploration has extended beyond Earth, with humans landing on the moon and robotic probes sent to explore other planets and celestial bodies. These endeavours have expanded our understanding of the universe and inspired technological innovations.

.

Information and Education: The dissemination of scientific knowledge through education and the media has empowered individuals to make informed decisions about their health, environment, and daily lives. Access to information has also fostered scientific literacy and critical thinking skills.

Despite the modernity surrounding him, RUDRA VILOHIT always felt a deep fascination for the ancient tales of magic and mysticism that he read about in books and heard whispered in hushed tones.

.

Despite their modern beliefs and skepticism towards magic and fantasy, RUDRA VILOHIT's parents haven't discouraged him. They hope that with time, Rudra will outgrow his fascination with imaginary magic and focus more on his career.

Occasionally, they get annoyed when they discover that he spends his pocket money on magic and fantasy novels or other magical items that claim to be authentic.

It was during one of his late-night browsing sessions on the internet that RUDRA VILOHIT stumbled upon a mysterious website dedicated to the occult and arcane arts.

.

The website claims that particular magic arises from sleep magic and that your soul connects you to a magical world. Magic power if exists within you will arise. 

.

RUDRA VILOHIT was intrigued by the intriguing symbols and cryptic phrases, so he dug deeper into the site's hidden depths.

.

Guided by his newfound fascination and curiosity with new magic spells and signs, RUDRA VILOHIT began to experiment with spells and rituals in the confines of his bedroom, his mind alive with possibilities and wonder.

.

.

He had no idea that his exploration would take him beyond the boundaries of the mundane world and into the domain of the Arcane, but not today.

.

.

After a long wait, he stood in front of a circle in which he made signs that seemed like " ※ ⨀ ⨞ ⩥ ↈ ≴ ≆ ∰ ʤ " in which the first symbol ※ was in the middle and others presented in 8 directions of this symbol as four dots and the other four at the ends of the line "※".

RUDRA VILOHIT lived the seemingly ordinary life of a curious teenager.

.

It was a crisp autumn afternoon, His school life just ended a few months before. He spends his free time with his family, Today to find something he goes inside his family's attic. 

.

.

when RUDRA VILOHIT stumbled upon an old, dusty book hidden away in the attic of his family's suburban home.

.

.

Intrigued by its weathered pages and cryptic symbols, he began to leaf through its contents, unaware of the ancient magic stirring within its words, which started to connect his soul.

.

.

As he read, a strange sensation washed over him, like a distant echo from a forgotten past.

.

.

Images of fantastical landscapes and mystical creatures danced before his mind's eye, which he thought was his imagination, igniting a spark of curiosity within him and a curious Could magic truly exist in the modern world?

Terrified of the unknown thing, he rushed out of bed and began sprinting for the door, but before he touched it, he froze in place, and despite his best efforts, he could not move. He tried to shout, but there was no sound. Fear overcame him. Fear of the unknown.

.

.

The creature flew toward RUDRA VILOHIT and said, " DO YOU NOT WANT TO GO KAILASH?".

 .

..

When RUDRA VILOHIT repeats "KAILASH," he recognizes the name but, out of terror, cannot recall why.

The creature flew above RUDRA VILOHIT's head and sprinkled dust on him after noticing his condition.

.

.

.

.

Eamon was also observing RUDRA VILOHIT. 'After a few seconds, she said, "So when we are going to Eldora?"

.

.

When RUDRA VILOHIT listened to "KAILASH" again, he started to think about where he learned words, and then he remembered yesterday he read in that old book. He moved his eyes toward the bed, but there was no book. 

.

RUDRA VILOHIT is confused "I think that ...I AM STILL DREAMING "

.

.

And thinking this, HE PUNCHED HIMSELF ON THE FACE.

It's paining; I should punch somewhere else. 

.

.

EAMON, fly toward RUDRA VILOHIT. "Hurry up; I already waste a lot of time sleeping. If I don't go now, my energy will drain completely, and I will be struck with you."

.

She inadvertently opened a portal to another dimension.

.

Startled by the unexpected turn of events, RUDRA VILOHIT found himself excited.
