The next morning, Aryan met his personal mentor: a former special forces operative, now the mansion's chief security officer.
"You will learn combat, strategy, and survival," the mentor said. "You will be tested physically, mentally, and emotionally."

The mentor smiled faintly.
"That's exactly why you must learn. The weak die, Aryan. The strong survive—and thrive."
The training began. Martial arts, tactical thinking, firearms—every lesson was a step into a world Aryan never knew existed.
By nightfall, bruised and exhausted, Aryan realized:
This was just the beginning.
