Over the next few weeks, Rahul continued to accompany Arjun’s team on missions. Each rift presented new challenges and new creatures, from the fiery Agni Raksha, salamander-like beasts that spewed flames, to the elusive Nakula Rakshasi, mongoose-like creatures that struck with lightning speed.

With each battle, Rahul grew stronger. His Hyper Unique System unlocked new skills and abilities, including Flame Resistance from the Agni Raksha and Quick Reflexes from the Nakula Rakshasi. The rewards he received were unlike anything the other hunters experienced, but he kept this fact to himself, wary of drawing too much attention.

The team began to notice Rahul’s rapid improvement. Arjun often praised his adaptability and quick thinking, while Anika admired his determination. Kabir and Siya, too, grew to respect him, and the group formed a close bond.

Despite his growing strength, Rahul remained humble. He remembered the pain of betrayal and loss, and he was determined to use his newfound power to protect others. Each mission was a step forward, a chance to prove to himself and the world that he was more than what others had believed.

But Rahul knew that his journey was far from over. The rifts were becoming more dangerous, and whispers of an even greater threat began to circulate. The Hunter Association was preparing for something big, and Rahul could feel that his Hyper Unique System would play a crucial role in the battles to come.

For now, he focused on the present, on the team that had become his new family, and on the hope that he could carve out a better future—not just for himself, but for everyone who needed a hero.
