The shopkeeper replied casually,"No, actually our staff is full. But tell me, how much mana capacity do you have? And which type of power do you possess?"
Vyom was a little surprised and confused so he asked,"What? What are you talking about?"
---
The shopkeeper asked angrily, as if Vyom was annoying her,"What type of magic do you use?"
Vyom thought for a while, "Magic? Yesterday I tried, but…"
The shopkeeper shouted at Vyom,"I am not free! What are you thinking?"
Vyom apologized,"Sorry, I disturbed you, but I think I do not have…"
Then the shopkeeper replied, her tone still annoyed,"I am also sorry. I don't have a job for trash like you."
Then Vyom came out of the store and tried many times, but the result was simple — he hadn't found any job.
But he saw magic everywhere. The cooks used fire and water abilities, and there was no need for waiter service. Vyom thought that he was useless.
So he decided to go to the jungle because he had seen some fruits there. Then he started going toward the jungle.
While walking, his face looked really surprised.
"In this world, magic exists," he thought in shock.
"I have come to another universe, and my exams are coming."
Vyom looked at the sky, raised his hands, and said,"Thank you, God, thank you… now I don't need to give exams."
But suddenly, electricity flashed. A green light went from the ring to the sky. The light touched a cloud, and the cloud changed something, though it was not noticeable.
A massive thunder struck toward Vyom.
When Vyom saw it, he ran into the jungle, but the thunder did not give him rest. Some time later, he went to the hole that he had found. Now the lighting had calmed down.
Then he realized that he might come here every day and go back again. If this happened regularly, it would become crazy — traveling between two worlds without rest would be really tiring for his mind.
But his stomach rumbled again.
So he decided to find some food first. And he went to find some....
He saw many types of fruits, but some were unfamiliar to him. He didn't know how to eat them. But suddenly, he saw berry-type fruits.
When he went closer, he saw they were smaller than usual. Vyom thought he could at least eat something similar, so he collected some and went back to the tree hole.
Half the day had already passed.
He came to his new home. It was small but peaceful, and he remembered the day when Anand told him—
Anand asked him,"Bro, do you ever think? When do you get peace?"
Vyom replied,"No… umm… but if I think… when I become successful and if I get a perfect life partner."
Anand said with a smile,"Oh… I think she is Keya, am I right?"
Vyom said, trying to hide his embarrassment,"Maybe… But I wish. But what do you think? When do you get peace?"
Anand replied while releasing air from his mouth,"I want a place where I am alone and no one comes to disturb me, like a jungle or a mountain. There would be only my house. You can call it an unknown island. I wake up and see nature, like nature itself awakens. Whole day with peaceful air."
Vyom said,"Bro, okay, that's great, but stop it now."
Anand said sadly and disappointedly,
"Bro, do you think I am mad? But it is my true feeling, and I really don't know why. I think it is because of responsibility… I don't want to carry another responsibility, but I think it is not possible for me."
Vyom said,"Okay, bro…"
Vyom was sitting inside the tree hole. He leaned against the tree structure and whispered,
"It is really peaceful to live alone, but it would be very hard to live like this, and I think it affects the mind. But he was not wrong. The world is full of noise and pollution, and this place is really peaceful."
He took a berry and ate it, but the berry was hard, so he crushed it while eating. He watched the magnificent view as he ate.
Some time later he eat many, his stomach started hurting. When he tried to sit up, pain spread from his forehead to his whole head. His eyes slowly began to close.
He whispered,"I think the poison was in another fruit… but it was in…"
Then he became unconscious.
A guard saw Vyom and disappeared into the wind.some time later The wind moved toward a dark room where nothing was visible.
The guard returned to his normal state and said,"He swallowed poison, and now he is unconscious."
A person asked,"How much time does he need before death?"
The guard replied,"I think a minimum of two hours."
The person asked again,"And are you sure?"
The guard replied,"Yes, I saw him."
The person said,"Then it is time to execute the plan."
Some time later...
Aysha and the guard went into the jungle.
Aysha had a basket in her left hand. She was trying to find something in the Jungle, she try to find everywhere in front part of the Jungle but she couldn't find anything.
Then the guard pointed a area and tell,
"I think in that area we found something."
So they go there and try to found but
Could not find anything. Soon, she got tired and fell onto the grass.
Suddenly, she noticed someone lying in the upper right corner nearby.
She screamed,
"Ahhhhhhh…!"
The guard rushed toward her.
Guard: "What happened, ma'am?"
Aysha: "Who is this?"
The guard looked carefully.
Guard: "This is that person you saw him Town and he help you to bring books and you told me to check him ."
Aysha frowned and said claimly,
"Oh… I think he is a killer. Kill him."
The guard hesitated.
Guard: "But ma'am… do you really think a killer would try to kill himself without any reason?"
Aysha looked confused.
Aysha: "What do you mean?"
Guard: "He ate a poisonous fruit, mam."
Aysha's expression turned angry.
Aysha: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
The guard got scared.
Guard: "Ma'am… I tried to tell you, but you were talking in the café, and then the Vaidya (Ayurvedic doctor) came… so I forgot."
Aysha sighed.
Aysha: "Fine. Go and bring medicine for him. I'll keep searching."
Guard: "Okay, ma'am."
The guard disappeared into the wind.some time later The wind moved toward town
Meanwhile, Aysha dragged the unconscious boy near a tree. She made him sit by supporting his back against the trunk and tied his hands and legs.
After some time, the guard returned with medicine.
Aysha gently lifted Vyom's head and poured a few drops of medicine into his mouth. She carefully made sure he swallowed it.
Then she said,
Aysha: "Take him. Come with me."
The guard carried Vyom on his shoulder and followed her.
After some time, Aysha finally found the herb she was searching for.
Afternoon had turned into everything. The sun glowed orange, and the whole jungle looked like it was shining with a mix of orange and yellow light.
Aysha asked,
Aysha: "Do you know when he will wake up?"
Guard: "I think… it's about time."
Aysha: "Okay. Let's rest."
They sat down and placed Vyom in front of them.
After some time… Vyom slowly woke up.
He looked around, confused.
"Where am I…?" he thought.
Suddenly, he heard a voice—
"Who are you and why are you come here ?"
