The night slowly faded, and dawn painted the sky with crimson and gold.
The sacred river flowed calmly, unaware that destiny itself had changed its course.
In the small basket drifting upon Maa Ganga's surface, a newborn child slept peacefully.
But he was no ordinary child.
He was the Sun Prince who drank the River Goddess's milk.
Maa Ganga's Farewell
Maa Ganga stood upon the flowing waters, holding the infant in her divine arms.
Her body shimmered like liquid sapphire, her presence gentle yet vast.
She looked at the sleeping child with motherly affection.
"My son… the world is not ready to know who you are."
She placed a glowing mark upon his chest—shaped like a flowing river entwined with a sun.

Ganga smiled softly.
"If fate dares to drown you… the rivers of the world shall rise to protect you."
She gently placed the child back into the basket.
The basket drifted toward a small village.
Surya Dev and His Queens Observe
In the Sun Palace, Surya Dev stood upon a throne of solar flames.
Beside him were his consorts—Samjna, radiant and wise, and Chhaya, calm and shadowed.
They watched the mortal world through a sun mirror.
"That child is beyond calculations," Samjna whispered.
Chhaya nodded. "Ganga herself adopted him. He is now bound by three divine bloodlines."
Surya Dev clenched his fist.
"My son shall not be humiliated by fate."
He extended his divine hand.

Indra's Hidden Gaze
In Amaravati, Indra Dev watched through clouds of thunder.
His eyes narrowed.
"The Sun God's child… Ganga's son… Mahadev's interest… This boy will be dangerous."
He consulted fate scriptures.
But when he tried to see Karna's origin—
Nothing.
Blank.
His divine vision returned void.
SYSTEM CONCEALMENT ACTIVATED
[Heavenly Observation Blocked][Origin Veil of Mahakal Active]Result: Indra Dev cannot detect Host's source, blessings, or destiny core.]
Indra's heart trembled.
"He is hidden from heaven itself."
The Charioteer Couple
Downstream, a humble charioteer named Adhiratha and his wife Radha were washing clothes by the river.
Radha heard a soft cry.
"Do you hear that?" she asked.
Adhiratha listened carefully.
"A baby…"
They followed the sound and found the basket.
Inside lay a child with skin glowing faintly like sunlight.
Radha gasped.
"He is beautiful… like a god's child."
Adhiratha bowed instinctively.
"This child is blessed by the devas. We must raise him with respect."
Radha lifted him gently.
The moment she touched him—

Radha smiled warmly.
"From today, you are our son."
Karna opened his eyes slightly and looked at them.
Father… Mother…
He did not feel sadness.
He felt destiny forming.
The First Mortal Night
In the humble charioteer's home, Radha wrapped Karna in cloth and sang a lullaby.
Outside, villagers whispered.
"That child glows strangely."
"He must be blessed by the gods."
Inside, Karna listened.
He could hear everything.
His mind was already mature.
So this is my mortal starting point.
From a charioteer's son… to a Sun Emperor.
Karma Threads Begin to Move
In Hastinapura, blind King Dhritarashtra woke from a strange dream.
He saw a child of sun and river standing between his sons and the Pandavas.
He felt fear.
Beside him, Gandhari placed her hand on her belly.
"I saw a radiant boy… fate ties him to our family."
Neither of them knew.
But karma threads had already connected Karna to the Kuru dynasty.
Krishna Observes Quietly
In Dwarka, Krishna played his flute and gazed toward the north.
"A child blessed by Surya, Ganga, and hidden by Mahadev…"
He smiled.
"Dharma has chosen a new path."
He did not interfere.
He watched.
Karna's Inner Awakening
That night, Karna lay in Radha's arms.
He closed his eyes and entered his consciousness.
A golden system panel appeared.

Karna smiled.
This world is too small.
Even gods cannot calculate me.
Mahabharata will become my cultivation ground.
A Silent Promise
Radha kissed his forehead.
"Sleep well, my little sun."
Adhiratha looked at him with pride.
"May the gods guide you."
Outside, the sun rose slowly.
Surya Dev watched.
Ganga listened.
Indra feared.
Krishna smiled.
And a newborn child slept—unaware that he had already surpassed destiny.
