Synopsis

(This Story Takes Place In AU So, Don't Expect To Go Things As It Was In the Original Mahabharat.) Hindu x Greek x Norse (Mythologies Included) ******************* My name is Aditya. I am a seventeen-year-old who used to live in Kurukshetra, Haryana, and, of course, an orphan. Life was ordinary until a tragic accident took me away from the modern world—only to be reborn in a time I had only read about in history books: the Mahabharata era. As for how I got to this conclusion? Well, the answer to that question lies with the man-god sitting far away from me with a mischievous smile on his handsome face—Lord Krishna. It seems my memories awakened at a significant moment: the Swayamvara of Draupadi. Standing amidst an assembly of kings and warriors, I watch as Karna is insulted and humiliated for his lower caste. The tension in the air was palpable, and I realized that I was witnessing one of the most pivotal events in the Mahabharata. My heart raced with both excitement and dread. But as I tried to process this, something even stranger happened—a voice echoed in my mind. [Welcome, User! You have activated the Gacha System.] What on earth? Or rather, what in the Mahabharata? Before I could even fully comprehend the situation, I felt a strange pull within me, like an invisible force connecting me to something far greater. The system interface appeared in front of my eyes, listing various abilities, weapons, and companions—all locked behind a gacha mechanism. Apparently, I had been reincarnated not just as a mere observer but with a cheat ability straight out of a video game. The Gacha System allowed me to draw random skills, weapons, or even templates from the grand pool of every mythological lore. But there was a catch: each draw required "Fate Points," and earning those points meant altering the events of this world. As I stood there, watching the unfolding drama with Karna, I realized that I was no longer just a bystander. I had the power to change history, for better or worse. But meddling with destiny in such a grand tale came with unimaginable consequences. What if I anger the gods? What if I change the fate of heroes like Arjuna, Karna, or Bhishma? The weight of it all hit me like a thunderbolt. Still, one thing was certain—I couldn't let things play out the way they did in the original story, not if I had the power to make things right. With the Gacha System at my side, I had the chance to rewrite the Mahabharata itself. But I needed to be cautious. Lord Krishna’s knowing gaze seemed to pierce through me as if he already knew about my unique circumstances. Was he testing me? Guiding me? Or simply waiting to see how my actions would shape the future? Then let's start with this event itself. ********************** Disclaimer: Remember, this is a fanfiction about Mahabharata. Not "Original" Mahabharata. I have no intention to harm anyone's religious belief, I am just writing a what-if story from my perspective. If you don't like it, So I kindly request you not read further this.

Chapter 1Chapter No.1 Gacha System

Blank.

Yes, that's what I see right now.

Everything around me is dark, and no amount of effort seems to break through the suffocating void. It feels as if I'm suspended in a never-ending expanse of nothingness, my thoughts echoing in the silence.

Since It looks like I have too much 'time' and 'nothing' to do. Let me explain how I got here, and the answer to that would be—I died.

Quite a cliche, right?

Well, who could tell this to that truck driver? One moment, I was navigating my way home, earbuds blasting my favourite playlist, and the next, I found myself face-first on the asphalt after a fateful encounter with a speeding truck. It all happened so fast that I barely had time to register what was happening before my world faded to black.

Ah! That explains the darkness I find myself in now. No light, no sound—just the vast void surrounding me, an unsettling reminder of my life's abrupt ending. I can't help but feel a mix of frustration and acceptance. Was this what awaited me after death? A never-ending limbo, devoid of purpose?

My name is—was Aditya, well before I died of course. A seventeen-year-old teenager who spent his days in Kurukshetra, Haryana, with dreams and aspirations like any other kid. Being an orphan wasn't easy, but I learned to navigate life on my own terms, being an orphan making friends wasn't easy so I took solace in reading fantasy novels and history books. They became my escape, my portal to worlds far beyond the mundane reality of my existence. I often imagined what it would be like to be a hero in those tales, to wield incredible powers, and to change the world.

As I drifted into this suffocating darkness, memories flickered in and out of my mind like ghostly apparitions. I thought of the moments that defined me: my late-night study sessions, the thrill of immersing myself in tales of valour and adventure, and the bittersweet warmth of fleeting friendships. Each memory felt like a fragile thread, weaving together the tapestry of my life, and yet here I was, losing my grasp on it all.

I had often envisioned how I would make a difference if I were ever given the chance. I imagined stepping into worlds filled with magic and wonder, where I could become someone significant, someone who would leave a mark on history. Now, instead of finding my place among heroes, I was lost in this endless void, a forgotten soul adrift in nothingness.

But just as despair began to seep into my consciousness, something shifted. A faint glow pierced through the darkness, illuminating the edges of my void. Moving toward me like a flaming meteorite.

And before I could fully comprehend the sudden change, the light stuck me. A burning pain originated from the depths of my soul and spread like wildfire throughout my being. I gasped, feeling as if I were being torn apart and rebuilt in an instant. The sensation was overwhelming, like being submerged in molten metal, yet it sparked a deep, primal urge to survive, to grasp hold of whatever was happening.

[Welcome, User! You have activated the Gacha System.]

A transparent interface materialized in front of me, shimmering with an array of options that danced like stars in the night sky. My heart raced as I took in the sight, both exhilarated and bewildered.

"What in the world...?" I muttered, staring at the floating screen. It looked like something straight out of a video game—only this was my reality now.

[Welcome to the Gacha System, User. You have been granted a unique opportunity to alter your fate.]

[Free Spins: 3 Draws]

[After spinning the free draws, the user will be transported to the new world.]

"Three... free draws- Hey what do you by 'transported' I am not some item to be treated like a collectible!" I exclaimed, incredulous at the absurdity of the situation. This felt like some warped video game scenario, and I was the unwilling protagonist being thrown into an epic adventure.

Ignoring my protests, the interface continued to glow, and I felt an overwhelming urge to act. Maybe this was my chance to escape the darkness and find purpose once more. Clenching my fists, I focused on the screen, my heart racing as I thought about what I wanted most.

"Okay, let's see what this Gacha System can do," I muttered, trying to sound more confident than I felt.

I tapped the first draw, and the screen swirled with vibrant colours. A moment later, a notification appeared:

[Drawing… Please wait.]

A series of mystical symbols cascaded down the interface before culminating in a triumphant chime. The screen flashed, and a new window opened, revealing a glowing card.

[Congratulations! You have drawn: Template Apollo- The Greek God of healing, archery, music, truth, beauty, and sun.]

My breath caught in my throat as I beheld the dazzling card—a radiant sun in the middle with golden rays radiating outward, illuminating the void. The sheer power emanating from the card was intoxicating, filling me with a sense of awe and potential.

I stared at the card, a sense of disbelief washing over me. "Template Apollo?" I echoed, my voice tinged with wonder. The implications of this draw were staggering. Apollo, the Greek god himself, was known for his unmatched skills in healing, archery, and even music. I could hardly believe my luck—or the sheer absurdity of the situation.

As the light from the card enveloped me, I felt an invigorating surge of energy coursing through my veins, as if the very essence of Apollo was being infused into my being. My senses sharpened, and I could feel the distant hum of the universe echoing through my mind. I was no longer just Aditya; I was becoming something greater, something divine.

[Template activated: Apollo. Abilities unlocked.]

I blinked, overwhelmed by the flood of information pouring into my consciousness. Knowledge of archery, mastery over the healing arts, and an innate understanding of music and art blossomed within me. My fingers tingled with power, and for a moment, I imagined myself wielding a golden bow, arrows crafted from sunlight itself, ready to heal or vanquish any foe that dared to cross my path.

"This is unreal!" I gasped, realizing that the Gacha System was more than just a game—it was my ticket to a new life, one filled with possibilities and adventures. But as I revelled in my newfound power, I couldn't shake the looming question: Where would this lead me?

Before I could ponder further, the interface chimed again, interrupting my thoughts.

[Free Spins: 2 Draws Remaining]

Taking a deep breath, I steeled my resolve. I couldn't afford to waste my draws. I had to prepare for whatever challenges awaited me in this new world. With renewed determination, I focused on the screen again.

"Alright, let's go for the second draw!" I declared, tapping the button with a sense of urgency.

The screen lit up once more, swirling with radiant colours as it began to process my draw. The familiar sounds of the draw echoed around me, and I could feel anticipation buzzing in the air.

[Drawing… Please wait.]

The symbols danced, building suspense before culminating in another triumphant chime. The screen flashed again, a card revealing an old withered book.

[Congratulations! You have drawn: Primordial Warrior's Legacy.]

I stared at the screen, the weight of the old, weathered book depicted on it. Its cover was adorned with intricate carvings, and a sense of ancient power radiated from the card. Primordial Warrior's Legacy—the name alone sent shivers down my spine. This could be something extraordinary.

"What does this even mean?" I murmured, my heart racing. As the light from the card engulfed me, I felt another surge of energy, this one different from before. Instead of the vibrant, warm glow associated with Apollo, this was a more primal force—raw, ancient, and potent. The essence of countless warriors who had walked the universe before me coursed through my veins, filling me with a deep sense of strength and resilience.

[Card activated: Primordial Warrior's Legacy. Abilities unlocked.]

My mind flooded with knowledge. I could feel the experience of battle honed over millennia—strategies and combat techniques that transcended time itself began to coalesce in my consciousness. I envisioned myself as a master tactician and warrior, capable of wielding any weapon with deadly precision.

"Whoa! T-This is incredible!" I stammered, feeling the raw power resonate within me. "With these abilities, I could take on anything!"

I closed my eyes for a moment, letting the sensations wash over me. I was no longer just Aditya; I had become a vessel for ancient knowledge and divine skills.

Suddenly, the interface chimed once more, breaking my reverie.

[Free Spins: 1 Draw Remaining]

"One last chance," I murmured, my mind racing with possibilities. What could I draw this time that would enhance my journey in this epic tale? I knew I had to make this last spin count.

With a determined nod, I tapped the screen for my final draw. The colours whirled around me like a cosmic storm, and I could feel the energy pulsing in the air.

[Drawing… Please wait.]

The symbols swirled faster, creating a crescendo of anticipation before culminating in another victorious chime. The screen flashed again, revealing...

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

Let me go over one by one. Writing Quality had become great. I read and reviewed one of the author's previous books and from there, his writing quality has jumped way higher. There are no Grammer mistakes, at least none I could catch. There is a bit too much exposition sometimes, like explaining the customs of the land and their significance along with describing the reactions of the supporting main leads a bit too extensively. The first is needed in all respects lest the readers feel alienated but the latter could have been toned down just a bit, but that's just my opinion. Story Development so far is great. The author really catches your attention and doesn't let go. me, personally, I didn't like the addition of the harem from Greek mythology but that's just my personal preference. I do feel that it was revealed too soon, but then again, revealing it too late might have led to the readers growing attached to Draupadi only. Characters are all dynamic and serve their own purpose. Especially the character of Krishna was so beautifully added. I do have some bias about the way the author underlines the Dynamic between the Kauravas and the Pandavas though. In a lot of literary and TV media, you always see the authors or the directors take a side and support a particular group and the author does the same and supports the Kauravas. But there stands to reason that no one in the Mahabharata is actually a good character. They're certainly not bad as they are followers of Dharma, but they are evil in a way that does not violate the Dharma of that age and that has been beautifully underlined in the original Epic. But then again, these are all creative choices and the author writes the characters beautifully. Update Stablility is great. World Background instantly gets a five star since the work it's trying to adapt is so expansive and complex by itself. it can make way for a lot of interesting philosophical and narrative moments. and the existence of other myths only aids to that. Wish you well author! keep writing!
