Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: A World Torn Apart

In just a single day, the entire system of the world—built over thousands of years—was on the brink of collapse.

No country was spared.

The massacre swept across every border, every city, every village.

Millions upon millions died—not by the hands of humans, animals, or even advanced technology.

The attackers were something else entirely.

Fortunately, the gates transporting these extraterrestrial creatures ceased their operation after only a few hours. Had they stayed open any longer… no one dared imagine the outcome.

Every nation had already mobilized significant portions of their military, and thanks to quick action, the monsters were eradicated within a matter of days.

The next morning.

Shamila woke to the deafening sound of gunfire, grenades, and the commanding shouts of soldiers.

She rushed to the window.

They were here. The military had arrived.

A fragile spark of hope lit in her heart.

Hours passed, and the chaos outside began to quiet.

Then—someone shouted from inside the house:

"Is anyone here?! We're the military! We're here to help!"

Clutching her son tightly, Shamila ran to the door, tears blurring her vision.

"Please! Help us!"

A soldier stepped forward, eyes widening in disbelief at the sight of survivors.

Shamila collapsed in relief, whispering a silent prayer to Lord Vishnu for sparing their lives.

"I found survivors!" the soldier called out. Two more soldiers rushed in, checking every room for lingering monsters.

Shamila's voice trembled.

"Can you… take my husband's body? We need to perform the Antim Sanskar."

The soldier nodded.

"Please go with the rescue team. The bodies will be sent collectively afterward. This area is still risky, so I'll need your cooperation. Can you do that?"

She nodded back, her voice soft.

"Thank you."

Taking her son's hand, she stepped outside.

Her body stiffened.

Blood… blood everywhere.

Bodies mutilated beyond recognition. Expressions frozen in horror.

It was like walking through the gates of hell itself.

Her knees nearly gave way, but before she fell, Raone gripped her hand tightly.

"Mom, are you okay? I'll help you."

Forcing herself to stand straight, Shamila covered her son's eyes and followed the soldiers to the waiting vehicle.

Raone, however, looked.

For the first time, he took in the full scale of the destruction.

It was utter annihilation—and he burned the sight into his memory.

As intelligent as he was, he understood one thing instantly:

This was his world now.

He had to survive… thrive… and protect his mother.

He needed to grow up—fast.

Elsewhere…

One moment, Raveena was in her room.

The next, her vision shifted, her body felt weightless—

—and then it collapsed into a single point.

Space compressed.

Time stretched into infinity.

Her consciousness blurred, unable to even measure the passage of moments.

Then, clarity returned. She could feel her body again.

When she opened her eyes, she stood before colossal city gates. In the skies above, people flew—some on their own, some riding swords that cut through the clouds.

She staggered, as if broken and then pieced back together.

As she stared in awe—

Ding!

Although confused, Raveena was an avid reader of webnovels in her world. She had seen scenarios like this countless times in fiction.

"Engrave."

The word rippled through the air like a stone tossed into still water.

A searing pain spread through her body.

Ding!

"Innate Tao Body… sounds special. But why isn't it awakened?" she murmured.

Boom!

A deafening noise erupted above her.

She looked up—and her jaw dropped.

A magnificent flying ship drifted through the clouds, wrapped in a light-blue, transparent barrier.

At its center, in a meditation chamber, a woman sat cross-legged. Authority and grace radiated from her presence.

Sensing an unfamiliar aura, the woman opened her eyes.

Her Divine Eyes scanned the world below—until they landed on Raveena.

Though Raveena's aura was faint, it was incredibly pure—matching the woman's own.

The woman's eyes widened slightly.

"What…?"

Then, in an instant—poof!—she vanished.

Raveena felt a crushing, incomparable presence behind her.

Turning slowly, she saw an ethereal beauty unlike any she had ever imagined.

She didn't know who this woman was, but her instincts screamed power.

The woman studied her for a long moment before speaking.

"I, Supreme Yin Reva

Would like you to be my disciple, are you willing?"
