Chapter 4 - Chapter 4-“When Two Worlds Collided”

Within Shubhu, the souls stirred with a faint vibration—

filled with energy, excitement, and courage.

Before him stood the dungeon gate—

dark, mysterious, and silent…

as if it were hiding an ancient truth within itself.

This was not just a dungeon—

this was the beginning of his true journey.

But Shubhu did not know that

the world he was about to step into,

on the other side of it—

a story bearing his very name

was being told in a completely different form…

At that very moment—

while Shubhu stood before a mysterious dungeon gate,

on the far end of the world,

in the grand academy of Suttle,

an old story was being repeated once again.

Standing inside a classroom

was TeacherRamesh.

Ramesh was no ordinary teacher—

he was the heir of the God of Omniscience,

and in his words echoed not history,

but truth itself.

He looked at his students and spoke

in a calm yet grave voice—

"Children…

the world you are living in today

did not even exist years ago."

Silence fell over the classroom.

"This planet was formed

when Earth and Suttle—

two separate worlds—

merged due to a catastrophic event…"

As Ramesh continued speaking,

one name surfaced again and again—

a scientist…

a criminal…

a legend…

Shubhu.

"Children,"

"this planet was formed when two worlds—

Earth and Satal—

merged because of a terrifying incident."

The students listened intently.

"The land you walk upon today,

the sky you look at,

the very flow of time—

all of it was once completely different."

"In this world, surviving without divine powers is impossible,"

Ramesh continued.

"That is why the gods chose some among us as heirs

and granted us their powers.

But do you know how all this began?

How did two peaceful worlds fall into such chaos?"

The classroom fell into complete silence.

Then a student asked, "Guru Ramesh?"

"This all began on Earth,"

Ramesh said.

"There was a scientist—Shubhu.

Extremely intelligent… curious… and reckless."

"He researched powers like time and space—

forces that humans can never fully control.

And during one such experiment,

a massive explosion occurred.

That explosion tore apart the fabric of reality…

and merged our two worlds into one."

All the students continued listening

without making a single sound.

"Before the merger, both Earth and Suttle were peaceful,"

"But afterward—

the laws of nature themselves broke."

"And thus, the world of today was born."

Ramesh said,

"Very good, then let me tell you

what happened after the merger."

"The planet grew larger than ever before.

Days became longer,

nights darker.

Time itself stretched—

slow and distorted."

"Volcanoes that had been dormant for centuries erupted.

Rivers of lava began to flow.

The oceans of Earth and Suttle collided—

entire cities were swallowed."

"Earthquakes tore the land apart.

Mountains collapsed like houses of sand."

"This was not just destruction—

this was the rebirth of two worlds."

Fear and silence filled the classroom.

But Ramesh did not stop.

"Not only nature…

humans broke as well,"

his voice grew heavy.

"Resources became scarce.

Governments collapsed.

Laws ceased to exist."

"People fought on the streets for food and water.

Looting, violence, and chaos became common."

"And some…

some horrifying incidents occurred

that we wish to forget.

Women were assaulted.

Families were torn apart."

"The weak were crushed.

The strong took everything."

The students were terrified.

"Satal's divine laws—

balance and harmony—

had shattered,"

Ramesh explained.

"Time, gravity, seasons,

life and death—

everything became distorted."

"And the most terrifying thing—

during those days,

the gods were silent."

He paused, then said—

"And then…

monsters appeared."

"Some of them were once human,"

Ramesh said.

"Twisted by that energy."

"Others were horrifying entities

dragged out from the darkest corners of reality."

"They went on destroying cities.

People were forced to flee once again."

A student asked in a trembling voice,

"Sir… how did it all stop?"

"One year later,"

Ramesh said,

"when humanity stood at the edge of extinction—

the gods, who had been asleep,

finally awakened from their slumber."

"They saw the chaos…

and intervened."

"They chose heirs.

They granted us powers.

And the monsters that had overrun the world

were sealed inside dungeons."

"They began a new world—

the one we know today.

Although even now this world is not balanced,

it continues to function somehow."

"And that is where order began."

A student asked,

"Sir, how are God Heirs chosen,

and why is there a need for them?"

Ramesh replied,

"Very good question.

As you all know,

dark aura has spread deeply throughout the world,

and surviving as a normal human

has become almost impossible."

"This dark aura not only shortens lifespan

but is also responsible

for the reduced birth of offspring."

"The gods chose heirs

so that their legacy could continue.

To stabilize the world,

they used almost all of their power—

which caused them to fall into a deep sleep once again."

"But before that,

they left behind a fragment of their power in this world,

which began choosing its own successors."

"When humans turn ten years old,

an Awakening Ceremony is held,

where divine powers are inherited."

Another student asked,

"But sir, where did so many gods come from?"

Ramesh replied,

"Another excellent question.

In ancient times,

some humans challenged the laws of the gods

and succeeded to a certain extent."

"They were called Demigods, Gods, and True Gods.

Those who inherit their powers

are classified as

Low-Tier, Mid-Tier, and High-Tier God Heirs."

Several students asked together,

"Is there anyone even above the True Gods?"

Ramesh said,

"It is believed that above the True Gods

exist the Supreme Gods—

beings older than time itself."

"There are mainly three such gods.

They interfere in this world only rarely."

"According to belief,

they are all brothers,

and their father is the ruler

of the entire infinite multiverse."

"But leave these distant matters."

Another student asked,

"Sir… what happened to Shubhu?"

Ramesh's expression turned grave.

"When it was discovered that all this was caused by him—

the gods became enraged.

People demanded justice."

"Shubhu was captured.

His punishment was about to be decided…"

"But then,"

Ramesh said softly,

"he disappeared."

"He was swallowed by a portal—

and was never found again.

Neither by humans…

nor by gods."

"Is he alive?"

a female student asked.

"It's hard to say,"

Ramesh replied.

"Some believe he was destroyed

by his own power.

Others say—

he escaped to another dimension."

"But one thing is certain—

even the gods could not find him."

Whispers spread through the classroom.

Ramesh looked out the window.

Shubhu—

the man who connected two worlds—

where is he now?

And an even greater question—

When he returns…

will he be a savior,

or the final embodiment of destruction?
