The RUDRA World: The World That Cries
Rudra means "the roarer," "dreadful," or "formidable." Ram, a normal office-going person from Gurgaon, India, had everything in his life. He was not exactly pampered, and being a middle child, a lot could agree on this, but his life took a turn when he found himself transmigrated to a new world. This world was something new for him; he had never read a novel or played any game to get a basic understanding of the situation. But in the darkest of times, there is always a flicker of light. Ding! "Welcome host; you have entered the Rudra world." "Why is there a voice in my head?" "Have I really lost it?" "Host, I am the system provided to you by the supreme will to guide you." "Wait, so you're a system, designed by the CEO of the US company Supreme, Will." System: "..." How will a person who has no clue about the fantasy or cultivation world survive in his new environment? Let’s see how Ram finds his way while evolving himself and conquering evil. _____________________________________________________________ Some points about the book 1. This is a new cultivation world story with different cultivation elements. It doesn't involve Qi or mana but uses "Prana" (Prana is an actual thing used in the yogic culture in India for the past 20,000 years), so anyone who likes to read a cultivation or fantasy story but wants something new could give it a try. 2. Though the character has a system with him, do note that that system is there to only guide him, not make him overpowered. 3. The protagonist does act silly at times, but it is to be expected as he is new to the system and cultivation, and you will realise sooner that he is actually very smart. 4. The character will evolve naturally as a human does in real life after learning their lesson; there will be no harem, but romance in the future is to be expected, and as the story progresses, there will be a lot of tension and definitely blood spilling and slaughters. 5. The main protagonist doesn't kill with overpowering strengths; he often uses his wits to outsmart the situation and trap the enemy before killing them. 6.Since this is my first time writing anything, there may be a few ‘You know what I mean"s here and there. I'm developing alongside Ram as the story unfolds. I wish you all a blessed and joyful day. _____________________________________________________________
Physical Cultivation Level 1
After the proper bath, Ram saw his reflection in the mirror.
"For some reason, I look much cleaner and better. Though I am still average-looking. There seems to be some kind of positive aura around me."
Ram then closely observed himself in the mirror. He felt he had grown in height a little; he was definitely more than 6 feet 2 inches tall now, but what amazed him most was not only his height but also his hair. It had actually also grown to shoulder length from normal short length, though he was still of a wheatish complexion with an athletic physique. He felt his lips and face were more defined, and his eyes had gone to a darker black colour than they originally were.
"I was wrong; I am definitely not average-looking any more, though I don't mind too much about how I look, but who can say no to being better-looking than before?"
Ram felt that he could make a Tinder account or try any dating meeting in this world. Maybe after 20 meetings, I'll be lucky to date someone. hehe..
If anyone saw Ram looking at his reflection in the mirror and talking about girls, they would have thought either he was very confident or he had some screws loose in his head.
Ram then walked a little away from the mirror and saw his own reflection changing and merging with the man in the black cloak. He silently observed it for a while, then walked away.
"System now, please continue."
"Ding!"
"Congratulations!"
"Host, you have just reached Level 1 beginner in physical cultivation."
"I had made this obvious guess, but thanks for clarification." Ram interrupted the system with his remark.
The system ignored Ram's remark and continued.
"Host, due to stepping into the physical cultivation, the system has granted a reward. It is advised to go through the status window."
Ram didn't expect a reward for this either, but he would gladly accept it. Who could say no to gifts?
"STATUS."

Ram saw the change in the physical cultivation column and a golden gift box icon blinking at the bottom of the status window.
"System, please open the gift."
Swiish...
A golden light shone in front of Ram, and a gift box the size of a small wristwatch box came out of the empty space. Ram took hold of it and started opening it.
"Wait, System, I remember that every time I got something from System, it was already mentioned what it was and it never came in the gift box; what is different now?"
"Host the scrolls or items given by the system whose information is already provided; they are stored in the system warehouse, but the gift boxes are like random items that could be anywhere throughout the universe. "The system just randomly picks whatever it gets from the river of time, and without knowing what it is, it's packed and given to the host for his achievements."
Ram looked a little speechless with this information: "So it's like a lucky draw from the universe. It could be anything."
What if he receives something like underwear or a banana peel? wouldn't that be ... Let's not go there.
"Happy thoughts, happy thoughts..."
Ram adjusted his mind and opened the gift box.
"What is this?"
"Is this a sea shell? It looks like a miniature Shankh (please google the image)."
"Am I expected to collect shells now?"
"System, what is this?"
"Ding!"
"Analysing…"
"Analysing…"
"Ding!"
"Congratulations! The host has received the divine Shankh. This shankh can change its shape, and the host can enter the private, secret realm world. and when in its miniature version, it can be used as a storage ring. This ring can store living and non-living things."
Ram went silent for a few seconds, then exploded with a lot of emotions.
