The preparations started after Ben read through all the documents. Various tests were conducted and the chamber for implantation was prepared. Soon, Melrik along with the Head of the Facility came to brief Ben. The Head started: “ Good Morning Ben. I am the head of the Kel-Sherpa city Educational Head quarters.” Ben answered courteously, eyeing Melrik “ Good Morning Sir. It is indeed a pleasure to meet you. I am honoured.” The head answered the “ The honour is mine. It is indeed my pleasure to brief potential martial overlord or monarch about the procedure.” Ben was a bit flustered at this remark and answered “ You flatter me sir. I am indeed honoured that you have such a high evaluation for me.” The head no turned a bit serious “ All of us old fogies, hope that the martial community of this country will develop much more than our generation. Any way let us talk about your procedure” Ben became more alert. Melrik was in a very catastrophic state. Despite his ages of training, it was visible in his face. The Head nudged Melrik. He looked cautiously at Ben and started to explain. “ Good morning, Ben. Let me explain to you about the implantation procedure. Please have a seat.” They had walked to a room which was like an office. They sat on either side of a table, which was laden with various holographic images. Melrik Pulled out a screen which had various pictures and some interactive images. He started. “ To begin with, this procedure is divided into two parts. One is the implantation of the martial seed and then the training for your normalized life. The implantation will end in 7-10 days. The next 20-23 days will your training for normalization. The implantation means that the meridian seed will be implanted into your body just below the navel. Then the treatment for its awakening will start. The seed will grow and will connect with various systems in your body. You will be able to feel each of them due to immense pain associated with it. There will be pain killers and anesthesia, but still it will be painful. So be ready for that. Once the implantation is finished and the seed is connected with the various organs in the body, then the first blooming happen. Your energy core will be formed between the waist and navel. This is something which is controlled and closely monitored by the facility. The connection of energy core with the body is also through meridians. Then we use some medicines and other procedures to seal of the meridian seeds from absorbing energy. This is so that no harmful substance enters the meridian stream. Then we will start the body transformation, that is modifying your body according to your affinity and martial seed.” Melrik paused there. “ That is also another painful part. No amount of painkillers and suppressers will remove that pain. That is also something that you have to keep in mind. Next is your acclimatization part. This will take another 20-23 days. Here your power output will be controlled and you will be subject to certain training and mental conditioning. This is done so that the non-martials around you and your surroundings are not destroyed. Not everything around you is made with substances to with stand your super human strength. Also in your case you will be working on your school assignments and evaluations as well. That will be given to you after it is done. Hope you are clear.” Melrik ended. Ben answered that he was clear.

With this the procedure was going to start. Ben send a message to his parents and then went to the room. Soon he was put into sedation and the implantation of meridian seed began. The seed was implanted in the body. It was the size of a small grapes. It was exactly round. It had intertwined patterns of blue and green on it. A small cut was made on Ben’s body and the seed was inserted into it. Then that wound was healed in a second by the doctor. Then various tubes were inserted into Ben’s body and the insertion of medicines for the germination of martial seed started.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Ben as soon he was sedated had activated the ‘Jamadagni Bhavana’ in his mind and he was meditating on it. There was a slight profound pressure on the chambers. The doctors did feel something but ultimately did not mind it. Ruben, however, understood something. He looked at Ben with intrigue. He had felt this when his eyes first landed on the boy. That was why he stayed back for this procedure under the guise of supervision. With the starting of germination treatment, Ben began to feel pain. The seed was growing and burrowing through his body making connection with the various tissues and organs in his body. The pain was unbearable. But he activated the visualization technique to its fullest and he controlled himself. Seeing that the patient could handle the pain, the doctors began to increase the pace at which germination was happening. Several catalysts were added. His pain increased. But he with stood this. The profound pressure in the chamber was high. But the doctors were in another compartment. So they did not sense this. But Ruben could. If there was a Martial Monarch here, they will also be able to sense this. He understood something and went to a higher place.

Meanwhile the martial seed was growing in Ben. It connected with the various organs and tissues from head to toe. This was completed in a span of 7 hours. Then in another 3 hours the blooming of martial seed happened and an energy core was created inside Ben’s Body. In another 2 hours the Body transformation treatment would begin. Ruben understood that the first part was finished. He looked at Ben. Now some reason he had activated the understandings from ‘Vasishta Vachanam’ and he was breathing in a particular rhythm. Ruben could sense this. He looked at Ben with a bit of a moist eye and then said in a very low voice with a slight bow and a hand on his chest: “ I bow to the inheritor of the legacy of the Seven Sages and the ‘Adhikari’ of the ‘Suvarna Stupa’. May your tales transform the ‘Marthyas’ and help us transcend the limits of our mortal selves.” Ruben then went out after informing the Head and taking Melrik with him. There was no need for him there. Also, he warned the Head and other workers once more. He needed to remove some rotten parts of the society. He was going to enter the dark alleys of Gyagar politics.

Thousands of kilometers away in the harsh desert, Milosk, a desert rodent, which was domys found a large cave beneath his cave. Domys were a species which burrowed through the toughest rocks and dug underground lairs which were as large as shopping malls. Milosk was an animus, a domys which gained intelligence and special power. It led a group of 10,000 domys in this part of the desert. It had named itself after some name it heard from a metallus it had killed right after it evolved into an animus. In front of it was a large open space. In its centre there were seven pillars which were brown in colour, with a glistening metallic shade. In the middle of those seven pillars there was a golden pillar. It was radiating a kind of pressure that prevented the domys army from approaching it. Suddenly this pressure multiplied the seven pillars began to vibrate, generating an eerie sound. The golden pillar began shine and a majestic aura descended. It was so powerful and regal that the domys pack along with their King bowed down to it.

In a dark mountain, which was surrounded by dead beasts and dead bodies of various intelligent species including metallas, naturas and marthyas, a being opened its eyes. It had a pale skin. It had red eyes. It had pointy ears. It had protruding fangs. Suddenly all these disappeared. It was replaced by the visage of an extraordinarily handsome person. He looked at the sky in a particular direction. His eyes seethed with burning rage. His face however remained unchanged.
