On the sacred peaks of Mount Kailash, where even eternity seemed to bow in silence, Mahadev sat beside Adi Shakti. The air was still, yet heavy with an unspoken tension—as if the universe itself was waiting.
That silence shattered the moment Brahma and Vishnu appeared before them.
Their expressions were not calm. Not divine.
They were burdened.
Vishnu stepped forward first, his voice steady but edged with concern.
"Altering time is not right. It goes against the laws we created together… the very balance of existence."
Mahadev did not react immediately. His eyes remained half-closed, as if he was still meditating on truths beyond comprehension. But when he finally spoke, his voice carried something deeper than authority—
It carried inevitability.
"I do not believe my actions were unjust."
Those words did not echo loudly… yet they shook reality itself.
Then, slowly, Mahadev revealed a truth buried deep within the folds of time—something even the flow of destiny had tried to conceal.
In a previous life, that same soul had a different name.
Jay.
A name that once carried innocence… before it became a symbol of destruction.
During that era, the gods did something they were never meant to do.
They interfered directly in the mortal world.
Not as observers.
Not as guides.
But as rulers of fate.
Their divine powers descended upon Earth where they did not belong… and in that interference, a tragedy was born.
Jay's parents died.
Not by chance.
Not by destiny.
But by the misuse of divine authority.
That moment broke something far deeper than a human heart.
It shattered a soul.
The grief consumed him first.
Then came anger.
And from that anger… something terrifying was born.
Power.
Not ordinary power.
Not divine power granted by gods.
But something raw. Something uncontrollable.
Something that even the gods feared.
Mahadev's voice grew heavier as he continued.
"Had he not been stopped… even the three of us would have been forced into battle."
The weight of that statement froze even Brahma and Vishnu.
Even while using only a fraction—just one percent—of his true strength, Jay's rage had begun tearing apart the fabric of existence. Space trembled. Time distorted. The balance of the universe itself stood on the edge of collapse.
Mahadev had seen it clearly.
Power born from suffering is the most dangerous force in existence.
And yet—
There was a truth even deeper than that destruction.
Jay was never the true cause.
The root… was the gods themselves.
They had made a mistake.
A grave one.
But bound by their own laws, they could not punish themselves. The rules they created became chains they could not break.
And because of that—
Jay was never given a chance.
At that time, Mahadev had been in deep meditation, detached from the physical world, immersed in a state beyond time and space. In that divine stillness, even he did not witness what had happened.
He did not see the interference.
He did not see the injustice.
And by the time he awakened—
It was too late.
Time had already moved forward.
The soul had already been lost.
Silence fell again… but this time, it was heavier. Regret lingered in the air like an unhealed wound.
Then Mahadev spoke again, and this time—his voice carried something new.
Resolve.
"That same soul has been reborn."
Brahma and Vishnu looked up.
Mahadev's gaze turned toward the mortal world.
"He is now known as Krish."
But destiny, once disturbed, does not easily return to its path.
Once again… the gods interfered.
Trying to control the future.
Trying to prevent the past from repeating.
But they were too late.
When Mahadev finally understood everything—every hidden action, every silent manipulation—
His patience ended.
"Last time," he said, his voice no longer calm but absolute,
"this soul was not given a chance… and the entire universe paid the price."
A pause.
Then—
"This time, I will not allow the same mistake."
And with that decision, something impossible was done.
Mahadev broke the natural flow of time.
He sent Krish back.
Not years. Not decades.
Exactly one month.
One month before the moment his parents were destined to die.
This was not just a second chance.
It was a correction.
A chance to restore balance.
A chance to change fate itself.
Vishnu closed his eyes for a moment, accepting the truth.
"Yes… the fault was ours. But even now, punishment cannot be given without breaking the rules."
Mahadev did not deny it.
He already knew.
Every action has consequences.
Even for gods.
And altering time… would not come without a cost.
Far away from the divine realm… in the quiet world of humans—
Life continued, unaware of the storm hidden behind reality.
Krish's parents sat together in their home, a soft warmth filling the room.
There was pride in their eyes.
"Our children have come so far," his father said, a smile forming on his face.
"Both of our sons are studying in the Hero Academy now."
"And your nephew too," his mother added gently.
"Yes… even our cousin's son. All of them… in the same academy."
A small silence followed, filled with satisfaction.
"The elder two are already in their second year," his father continued.
"They've made quite a name for themselves."
Legends.
That's what people called them.
Respected. Feared. Admired.
But then, his mother's smile softened… as if a memory had quietly returned.
"When Krish was born…" she said slowly, "we were going to name him Jay."
The air grew still.
"The priest insisted. He said it was written in the stars."
She paused.
"But your friend's last wish… changed everything."
Her voice lowered.
"And that's how he became Krish."
Fate had tried to write one story.
But something—or someone—had rewritten it.
That night, Krish slept peacefully.
Unaware.
Unaware of the life he had lived before.
Unaware of the power sleeping within him.
Unaware that even gods had altered time for his sake.
Unaware… that he was standing at the center of something far greater than himself.
One month later.
The gates of the Hero Academy stood tall, casting long shadows under the rising sun.
Students moved in groups—laughing, talking, competing.
But Krish stood still.
His eyes focused.
"My rank will rise from tenth… to ninth," he muttered under his breath.
To others, it sounded like ambition.
To him—
It was calculation.
Because he knew something no one else did.
His brothers—the second-year elites—were not just strong.
They were dominant.
Always ranked first or second.
Symbols of perfection.
But Krish…
Was different.
A first-year.
Underrated. Overlooked.
But not weak.
Never weak.
And deep within his mind, a memory stirred.
A warning.
Something that had not yet happened—
But would.
Very soon.
Demons would attack.
Not the entire academy.
Not the strongest.
The first-years.
And this time…
They were not coming randomly.
They were coming for him.
For the one who had already defied fate once.
For the soul that had shaken the universe.
For the existence that was never meant to continue.
Krish looked up at the academy gates.
His eyes no longer held doubt.
Only quiet determination.
Because somewhere, deep within him—
Jay was still alive.
And this time—
He would not lose everything again.
