Chapter 1Chapter One: The Crimson Night

The night sky was a tumult of crimson, an unnatural glow spilling over the bloodstained earth below. In the midst of this chaos, a piercing cry shattered the silence, marking the birth of a child. The infant's wails cut through the night, a symbol of hope amidst the horror.

 

A woman, her body smeared with the blood of her struggle, clutched the newborn tightly. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at the imposing figure before her—a soldier whose presence seemed to belong more to the battlefield than to the sanctuary of birth.

 

"Take him," she whispered hoarsely, her voice barely audible over the sounds of distant fighting. "Keep him safe. Please."

 

The soldier, his face shadowed by his helmet, nodded solemnly. He took the child from her trembling arms with a mixture of reverence and urgency. "I will," he promised, his voice rough but determined. "I swear it."

 

Without another word, he turned and disappeared into the shadows, carrying the infant away from the blood-soaked battlefield. The woman watched him go, her gaze filled with a forlorn hope as the night swallowed her world once more.

 

Years later, the jungle was a vibrant expanse of green and gold, a stark contrast to the blood-red night of Ram's birth. The sun cast dappled light through the dense canopy, illuminating a young boy who raced after a rabbit with boundless energy.

 

James, a towering figure with a demeanor both gentle and commanding, observed from a short distance. His eyes, though vigilant, were soft with affection as he watched Ram, now a wiry youth with a glint of determination in his eyes.

 

"Careful, Ram!" James called out, his voice carrying easily through the underbrush. "Don't scare it too much!"

 

Ram laughed, his joy unrestrained as he finally caught up to the rabbit and let it go, watching it dart back into the undergrowth. "I was just trying to see if I could outpace it!" he shouted back, breathless but exhilarated.

 

James approached, clapping Ram on the shoulder with a firm but gentle hand. "You're getting faster every day," he said, pride evident in his tone. "But remember, the real test of skill is not just in speed. It's in knowing when to act and when to wait."

 

At sixteen, Ram had grown into a formidable young man, his skills honed through years of rigorous training. His dedication to mastering swordsmanship, archery, and martial arts was matched only by his commitment to learning from books and scrolls that James had provided.

 

One day, as Ram wandered through the jungle, a thrilling yet dangerous scene unfolded before him. A massive tiger prowled with lethal grace, its gaze fixed on a fleeing deer. Instinctively, Ram positioned himself between the predator and its prey, his heart pounding with adrenaline.

 

The tiger's eyes locked onto Ram, a low growl rumbling in its chest. Ram stood tall, his stance firm and unyielding. "You want a fight?" he called out, his voice steady despite the danger. "Then you'll have to go through me!"

 

With a series of practiced moves, Ram distracted and eventually frightened the tiger away, allowing the deer to escape. As the predator retreated into the jungle, Ram exhaled deeply, his body shaking from the exertion but his spirit unbroken.

 

James appeared from the foliage, his face a mix of relief and pride. "I knew you were ready," he said, placing a hand on Ram's shoulder. "You've grown into a true warrior."

 

The morning sun cast a golden glow over the clearing where James and Ram practiced their martial arts. The session concluded with a sparring match, a test of Ram's skills against his mentor's seasoned expertise.

 

The duel was fierce, each move and counter showcasing the depth of their training. Despite James's mastery, Ram managed to land a decisive blow, signaling his readiness for the next step in his journey.

 

James looked at Ram with a mixture of admiration and solemnity. "It's time for you to leave," he said quietly. "You've become everything I hoped for, and more. But to truly fulfill your potential, you need to experience life beyond this jungle."

 

Ram's face fell. "What are you talking about? I'm happy here. I have my friends, the animals… and you. Why would I leave all this?"

 

James's expression was resolute. "Because you need more than this. Mumbai will offer you experiences and opportunities that we can't provide here. You need to grow, to interact with others your age, to learn things beyond combat and survival."

 

Ram's eyes were pleading. "But I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave this place."

 

James's gaze softened but remained firm. "This is for your own good, Ram. It's not a punishment but a necessary step for your growth. Trust me."

 

When Ram's protests grew desperate, James made a difficult decision. With a practiced technique, he rendered Ram unconscious. As the young man fell to the ground, James's heart ached, but he knew it was for the best.

 

Shortly thereafter, a sleek vehicle arrived, and a woman stepped out. She approached James, her face a mask of professional calm. "Is he ready?"

 

James nodded, his voice heavy with emotion. "He's ready. Take him to Mumbai. Give him the future he deserves."

 

As Ram was gently loaded into the vehicle, James watched with a sense of bittersweet finality. The jungle, once a sanctuary and a training ground.

Contracted The Beautiful Triplets And I Gained The 10000x Rebate System

This was a world where martial arts thrived and everyone would at least dabble in it. Schools did not test the student's ability in mathematics or languages but in martial arts. Just before his graduation, Lin Bai had awakened the 10000x Rebate System. Whenever his contractee grew, he would be able to get the same growth bit at a multiplied amount. Lin Bai quickly contracted the beautiful genius triplets of his school. “Contractee Su Qing has consumed the Body Tempering Elixir and has raised her vitality by 10 points. 100x rebate activated. Your vitality has risen by 1000 points.” “Contractee Su Lan has successfully mastered the A-grade Mountain Splitting Palm. Her palm force has risen by 5 kg. 1000x rebate activated. You have received the Sky Splitting Palm and your palm force has risen by 5 tons.” “Contractee Su Zi has obtained the bones of a Fierce-grade beast. Her foundation bone has evolved into the Warrior Plane. 10000x rebate activated. You have received the bone of a Legendary-grade beast and your foundation bone has evolved to the Grandmaster Plane.” “Lin Bai has reached a height that I’ll never reach,” said Su Qing. “Sis, don’t tell me that you like Lin Bai? Su Zi, you too? But, I was here first…” Su Lan pouted. “Umm… So, should I call you brother-in-law or hubby?” Lin Bai looked at the three sisters arguing in the bed and grinned. “Only a child has to make choices. I’ll take all three of you.”
