Synopsis
Attendance was 74.8%. One missed class meant failure. But when the world glitch-shifted into the Khandava-Prastha, a missed class was the least of Dhruv's problems. On a college trip to Coorg, Dhruv and his classmates plunge off a cliff—not into a ravine, but into a mythological nightmare dungeon governed by a gamified System. While his friends unlock powerful classes like [Seer] and [Berserker], Dhruv’s status screen shows... nothing. No Class. No Potential. Just a rusty iron rod and a desperate need to survive. But in a world where the ancient Rakshasas roam and the sky is made of gears, being an anomaly might be the only way to break the System. Welcome to the Fifth Yuga. The exam has begun.

Chapter 1 - AUTHOR'S NOTE

Why I wrote this story:

We all grew up reading Percy Jackson, watching movies about Thor, or playing games set in Egyptian tombs. Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythologies are everywhere in pop culture. Their stories are told a thousand different ways.

But what about Indian Mythology?

It is a treasure trove of epic wars, divine super-weapons (Astras), cosmic philosophy, and terrifying monsters that rival anything in the West. Yet, these top-class stories are rarely told on a global stage, or at least not in the way they deserve to be.

I want to tell the stories that are screaming to be told. I want to see our myths clash with the modern LitRPG genre.

A small request: This is my very first novel. I am pouring my heart into this world, but I am still learning. Please bear with me if the writing isn't perfect in the beginning. I promise that as Dhruv levels up, I will level up as an author alongside him.

Thank you for giving this story a chance.
