Dharmik Chetrapal
"Power begets misfortune", Karn's late father told him once.
Guided by his father's wisdom, he cherished the idea of leading an unremarkable life, blending seamlessly into the vast sea of humanity on lower Earth. He yearned to be a mere speck in the crowd, shielded from the misfortunes that often accompanied power and attention. Karn believed that by avoiding the pursuit of power, he could escape the hardships and challenges that come with it.
Karn intentionally avoided any opportunities that could propel him into the limelight. He sought solace in the mundane and ordinary, content with a simple existence free from the burdens of power and its accompanying tribulations.
Karn's aspiration was to lead a quiet life, untouched by the trials and misfortunes that he believed were inherent to a life of influence and authority.
However, life never goes the way we plan.
In the twilight of his lengthy and sorrowful existence as a Military Priest, a designation that had lost its true meaning after the Cataclysm, he found himself ensnared in a web of deceit. Captured through treachery, he was subjected to a mock trial where he was falsely accused and unjustly labeled a criminal.
After two decades of imprisonment, Karn is finally freed, only to be thrust into a war that contradicts his desire for a non-reactive life again.
With his weakened state at the end of his life, he sacrifices his remaining life force to protect his mother's legacy, that he had ran away from for so long.
As he slips into unconsciousness, a mystical seal is broken, revealing an alternate reality.
Karn must now face a new destiny and attempt to defy the misfortunes that have plagued him for two centuries. Along the way, he seeks to understand the true significance of the blessings he received in the Hell dimension and unravel the intentions of the enigmatic figure he calls God.
In this world of sages, prana, mantras, and mystical beings, Karn's journey unfolds across diverse realms, where mortality and divinity intertwine.
