Asking for a system

PLAYER HAS BEEN SUMMONED.

Srivastav wakes up and finds out that he is floating in an eternal abys . As far as he could see was pitch black darkness. He wasn't even able to see his own hand. It's seem to have no begining or no end . Time and space we're hald. Somehow all the pain he recieved has ended and was in endless bliss . There wasn't a trace of any injury.And for some reason his skin felt smooth, young fresh. Now that he began thinking about all his old lump skin was no more. He felt young like he was in his 20s . There were no trace of cloth on his body . He was naked. 

Last memory he had was that of bleeding and poison to his deat....

"Yes you are dead "

A playful ethereal voice sounded.

"Who?"

Srivastav asked in surprise, That voice felt like it had no beginning or end. It is as if that voice is always there. He just found it but somehow he did not feel scared, he was just felt palpitations of emotions. In army one has to have sharp skill of five sense to identify the situation quickly. But even then he couldn't find the source of the voice.

"Yeah, The age old question, I don't know why you guys alway ask that? You already have an answer in your hearts yet refuse to admit it."

Just as the voice fell, a figure of man emerged out of nowhere. He was shrouded in a brilliant golden light. He just make an outline shadow of the figure to guess figure was a man.

He was very tall, His long hair was tied in bundle over his head, On it what it look like crescent moon wore as decoration, From the bundle of his hair fountain of water continuously coming out of it, When you look at his neck it there was outline of a snake constricting on it, But the most eye-catching things was a what held in man's hand a trishul. That trishul as big as the height of the man, It was emitting ferocious yet gently aure. These two feelings were contrary to each other but when it comes to trishul it felt like it was meant to be.

"Mahadev (God of God's)"

The moment Srivastav looked at the trident, He recognised the figure and got the answer to his question of "who".

He directly wanted to kneel and worship his aradhya , but to him it did make sense that the very figure he worshipped is in front of him .Even then deep within his subconsciousness his instict we're telling him to kneel and fold his both plam in front of the figure . But soon the horrifing truth came to him that there is no mortal plane surface ,he can kneel down too. He doesn't have a body at all. His soul seem to be the one that is actually floating. Even the brilliance of the figure didn't illuminate anything because there was nothing to be illuminated.

"Don't worry you just died , currently we are in meta astral plane or what you like to call limbo , the place between living world and astral world."

Mahadev spoke these words very casually as if it was not a big deal.

But when Srivastav heard these words he closed his eyes. He died. He had already figured out truth . But now recieving the big news from a God who just spoke like it was nothing to think about.

"Hey don't get me wrong but dying is really not a big deal, You think dying is the end of a journey but it was actually the beginning."

Lord spoke very calmly, His voice smoothly calmed his emotions.Just then he decided to ask a million dollar question,

" Then Mahadev why are we here ? On what purpose do I am having this audience with you Bholenath. "

He felt that because he did something that anger gods because of that he was currently in front of Shambhu . He began panicking and try to look into his memory of any incidents that may have angered them . Srivastav spoke weakly 

"Then what now Mahadev? Why am I here and not in Swarg (Heaven) or Narak (Hell)?"

"No, It was not that reason but your time has come, So you died. Your devotion had pleased me that why you are here "

His eyes widened 

"And also you can't go there because of the words you spoke."

Then god drop bomb of news on him again, the calmed down emotions also become unstable. He did remember the word he spoke on his deathbed . A chance to live again while accepting the notification.

"Bhole, I just spoke those words like any dead man would , I don't have any ill intent behind it."

Srivastav couldn't sit still, He really just spoke those words feeling at time without any hope on it .Those words come out because of emotion there was no other intention behind it.

"Because you spoke those words with pure emotions that I decided to fulfil your wish. You need to know that this the fruit of you karma that you got this chance. You deserve it."

 Kailashnath said these words in a very caring voice as he knew the pain of the boy in front of him.

 "You may ask for any questions ,I will answer it to you. And fulfill your three wishes as well"

God said in the same calm tone, There was infinite love in his voice as he was more inclined to answer any questions by which the boy in front of him can clear . 

 Srivastav - "what is truly Dharma ?"

 Gauri Shankar - " it's your humanity "

 He smiles and says

"It's time to fulfil your last wish, It will give closure and free you from mortal bounding, I will give you boon for your good karma, Ask anything other than immortality, Putra (Son)."

Lord saw that it was time, So he decided to send him on his new journey.

"Bhole but I didn't do anything that great to receive boon, So why?"

Srivastav was confuse, He know mahadev was easiest to please but he didn't actually did much in his life, Most of his 73 years of life he spend by just trying to survive and career in his duty .He didn't do much of God's work other than just paying respect in the morning and night by folding his hands towards the sky before sleeping and after waking up, That's all he did in name of devotion .

"In Kalyug , that was enough to please a god .That's why sages were jealous of people who will live in kalyug."

Lord chuckled and answered, Feeling funny about the situation. Sages in the satyayuga needed thousands of years praying and meditation but man in Kalyug can get the same things just by little devotion and yet this time consider worst by many.

"Oh, I don't know that prabhu , So I can ask anything other than immortality right, Mahadev?"

Srivastav heard and understood the reason behind giving him boon. He also heard of that story in old remaining documents scriptures but he alway thought it was a folk tale. Then he put his focus on the boon. There was infinite possibility for it.

"Yes, You can ask anything other than immortality, You can ask for money, weapons, power, You can even ask me as your servant, So what is it gonna be?"

Lord gave multiple suggestions for the boons, even said that Srivastav can ask him as a servant in the boon. Lord was not kidding about being servant after all he one time became bodyguard for devoted who asked that as boon.

"No Mahadev I don't dare to make commit my aradhya in something like this .I guess, I do have a wish. Firstly I want to reborn as Karna as even how he is depicted, he was one of the figure in entire Mahabharat who can either fight from any side or become neutral. I want to with it. Secondly I wish typical isekai type power up wish granting system which will help me monitor my progress and grant me to borrow power from anime ,comics, mangaka or novel."

Srivastav asked very hesitantly, He who used to read lots of novels, manga and comics in free time was very familiar with the systems. There are different varieties of it. Some were weak, some were strong but some were OP. Any beneficial direct or indirect for host will be given to him. After retirement in his free time he used to read lots of those stuff to the point he became somewhat of an otaku. How he began his journey was quite a tale.You see once he went to give a visit to one of junior house to congratulate him for retirement. After having conversation for him, his junior asked him baby sit his young grandson for the time been as some important work came up. Sitting and baby sitting, the child he came across anime which got him interested. If he is going to become Karna then an isekai system with such traid will beneficial for him. Karna already has superior talent and having a system would only boost .Then who can stop him? He always used to wonder why no one asked the system in boon. These things are to OP.

"System, I have to say no one ever asked that from me, Can you tell me the reason behind it?"

Lord became interested to hear about the reason.After all it was the first time for him to give that in boon.

"Simple Mahadev, System power multiply over times, So In time of need I would be able to use it and best part having system is that it can conceal its host presence from others powerful beings, It can also protect it's host when needed too, So that's why i asked you for system."

"Fair enough, I will give the blessings of getting reborn in alternate reality within the multiverse along with give you the System you desire for but because of it's power I can't give you all in one go or your soul can't handle it, It will divided into 5 parts like following :-

1. You get Prime function of system would provide you with mission based on to a certain and with health recovery portion but limited to 24 hours for each task . You would have to use it among the time period .This can also hide your presence from everyone unless Trimurti themselves purposely use their power to look into you no one will find out about your truth even lord vishnu's avatar Bhagwan Parsuram and Govind. You have to complete your task within given time , if failed you will receive penalty and punished.

2. Fail safe systems to save your life when you are in danger. Or system been discovered by some one other than us.

3. Dimensions hoping add-on, Help you go into any world of your desire and access the knowledge, ability and talent. Only at certain level you would be able to purchase top tiers skill .

4. Whole system without any limit. So with time you could modify the system but will be limited to the laws of world.

5. For low tiers skill can be obtained by you without limits. But some of high tier skills will have limitations until you can qualify for the given skill .

You will receive also received beginer bonus package as your rebirth ,other benefits will be given to you with time or find on your own, though the system will notify you when they are near.

Now what is your third and final wish??"

Pashupati spoke these words and golden light appear in his hand fell on Srivastav. Just as that light entered in him, Srivastav felt surge of power within him.

Srivastav - Hey Somenath , as for my third wish I ask you with on every topic and subject such as history, technology, etc from the beginning of kaliyuga to 500 years from the current 21st century.

Mahadev- Tathaastu 

"Remember you will be born as karna with his cause and effect, So be careful not to repeat the same mistakes as him."

Those were the last words Srivastav heard before losing his consciousness .

"How long are you going to stay in dark priyee?" Asked Mahadev. Suddenly the light illuminated the void and a female shadow figure could be seen . She had three Eyes that looked are the Sun, Moon and the Fire . Extremely beautiful, elegant, adorned with Radiant Ornaments blazing Luminous in the void. Dressed in a red sari with four hands, Lotus on each one it .

She replied - Swami ,Was it ok to give such a boon him.

Mahadev - He asked for it * sigh And don't tell me about it ,You yourself gave him your blessings didn't you priyee " Said teasingly.

Parvati pout and said " Let hope he have a better journey ahead"
