Rajendra and Chandika have now fully settled on Earth, having adapted to human life. However, their connection to the human world is only superficial—if they were to disappear, no one would even notice the change.
Their child, Devansura, has just turned one year old. Chandika introduced his training, including various techniques that will shape his future.
The family resides in the kingdom of Vishwajaya.
On Earth, a supercontinent exists, divided into three powerful kingdoms: Vishwajaya, Sálathos, and Anantavasu, alongside several smaller kingdoms scattered across the land.
Vishwajaya: Known for its strength, this kingdom is a center of power and military might, with a rich culture of warriors and strategists.
Sálathos: A peaceful kingdom, known for its serene beauty and harmony. However, despite its peaceful nature, Sálathos has a military strength that allows it to rival and even, at times, defeat Vishwajaya in battle. Its people are masters of diplomacy and strategy, often forging alliances to maintain balance.
Anantavasu: A prosperous kingdom, blessed with vast riches, rare resources, and powerful trade routes. It is renowned for its ability to produce luxurious goods and is the heart of commerce in the region. The kingdom is ruled by a family that values wealth and influence, sometimes to the detriment of its more peaceful neighbors.
Chandika introduced Devansura to various techniques:
Muay Thai: Known as the "Art of Eight Limbs," this technique uses punches, kicks, elbows, and knees, helping Devansura build strength, agility, and resilience in close combat.
Inferno Fist: A fiery technique that channels intense heat into powerful strikes, allowing Devansura to unleash flames with his fists.
Demon Slayer Style: A mystical art that enhances Devansura’s speed and precision, helping him anticipate and strike with deadly accuracy, especially against dark forces.
Hellstorm Martial Arts: A style that generates shockwaves with each strike, allowing Devansura to create devastating energy bursts to overwhelm his opponents.
Chandika: "These powerful techniques are what you are going to learn in the future, but for now, you need to master your basics."
Rajendra was confused as he watched Chandika introducing training to their one-year-old son, Devansura. He couldn’t understand why Chandika was introducing such intense training to a child so young.
Rajendra: "Do you not think this is reckless? He's just one year old, and you have started training him. He could hurt himself."
Chandika: "In Hell, at the age of one, demons start learning these and more powerful techniques."
Rajendra: "But they are demons. They have strong bodies and can endure all that."
Chandika: "So, you're saying that Devansura is weak? He is much stronger and more intelligent than those demons. And I also care about him. He is my child, and I will not let him get injured."
Rajendra, knowing that Chandika wouldn’t back down, finally sighed.
Rajendra: "Okay, you win."
Then, he walked over to Devansura, knelt beside him, and placed a gentle hand on his head.
Rajendra: "You do not have to overdo it for your mom."
Devansura nodded seriously, looking into his father’s eyes. The situation seemed so amusing to her that Chandika couldn't help but start laughing.
Rajendra nodded at his son, then turned and moved on to his work, trusting Chandika.
Chandika turned to Devansura with a determined smile.
Chandika: "Now, let's get started with the basic training."
Chandika says, "From now on, your daily routine will be as follows:"
Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM)
Running (1 hour): Devansura starts his day with a brisk run through the forest. This builds his stamina and endurance, essential for the rigorous day ahead. As he runs, he learns to pace himself and improve his lung capacity.
Swimming (1 hour): Following his run, Devansura heads to a nearby river or pond, practicing swimming to enhance his cardiovascular fitness and increase his muscle strength. The water helps with flexibility and adds an extra challenge to his training.
Push-ups (1 hour): After swimming, Devansura does push-ups to strengthen his arms, shoulders, and core. His form is precise, making sure each push-up is deliberate and controlled, helping him build physical strength.
Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
Pull-ups and Tree Climbing (1 hour): Devansura practices pull-ups using sturdy tree branches. This increases his upper body strength. Tree climbing follows, focusing on agility and grip strength as he scales trees to develop speed, endurance, and coordination.

Balancing (1 hour): To sharpen his focus, Devansura works on balancing, walking along narrow ledges or logs. This exercise improves his coordination and mental concentration, keeping his body aligned and balanced under pressure.
Stretching and Flexibility (1 hour): Flexibility exercises help Devansura maintain muscle health and prevent injuries. Stretching is an important part of the training to improve his range of motion and prepare for more demanding physical activity.
Lunch Break (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM):
Devansura gets a break for lunch during this time. This hour of rest allows his body to recharge before continuing with the day's training.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM)
Meditation and Focus (2 hours): After lunch, Devansura spends two hours focusing on meditation. This extended time helps him deepen his mental clarity and concentration, which is crucial for his physical and spiritual growth.
Breathing Techniques (1.5 hours): Devansura continues his practice of breathing techniques for an extended period, improving his breath control, stamina, and energy regulation. This training is essential for maintaining focus and endurance during intense physical activity.
Reflex Training (1.5 hours): Reflex training remains an essential part of Devansura’s routine. This extra time helps him hone his response speed to rapid changes in his environment, improving his reflexes and reaction times in high-pressure situations.
At 6:00 PM, when Rajendra returned home, he found Devansura eagerly waiting. As soon as Devansura saw his father, he ran up to him and leapt into his arms. Rajendra caught him effortlessly, and the two began to play, laughing together.
Rajendra: "Did the training go well? You seem to have so much energy, like always."
Chandika, watching them, replied: "No, the training was intense. I honestly thought he might back out halfway through. But he surprised me. His stamina is incredible. He completed everything, and more."
Rajendra raised an eyebrow, "Really? What’s his schedule like?"
Chandika shared the details of Devansura’s training routine. Rajendra was shocked by the intensity of his son's regimen and his remarkable stamina.
Rajendra: "I knew he was special, but this? I didn’t realize he was so strong, even at this age."
Chandika smiled proudly, "Not only that, he performed exceptionally well. He surpassed my expectations."
Rajendra grinned, "Of course, he’s my son."
Chandika raised an eyebrow playfully, "Then why were you not letting me train him in the mornings?"
Rajendra laughed, the atmosphere lightening between them.
From that day forward, Devansura continued his rigorous training, facing every new challenge with unwavering dedication.
As the months passed, Devansura’s training became increasingly intense. Each area of his training was tailored to push his limits, growing more challenging with every phase.
His running evolved from simple laps around the forest to navigating rough terrain—steep hills, rocky paths, and thick underbrush. This new environment forced him to adapt, strengthening his legs and enhancing his endurance under difficult conditions.
Swimming sessions moved from calm ponds to deeper, faster-moving rivers. The strong currents challenged his strength and stamina, while the cold water helped increase his flexibility and improved his ability to control his breath under pressure.
Push-ups, once basic exercises, now incorporated added resistance. Devansura sometimes had to perform push-ups with a weighted stone on his back or while balancing on uneven surfaces. This increased the intensity of each repetition, further building his muscle strength and core stability.
Tree climbing also grew more difficult. The trees he scaled became taller and more challenging, with thinner branches that required greater agility and grip strength. The climbs were timed, testing his speed and endurance.
Balancing exercises, once simple, were now performed on precarious branches high in the trees, with the added challenge of wind or rain. These obstacles forced him to focus more intently and improve his mental concentration.
Chandika ensured that every aspect of Devansura’s training became progressively harder, with new challenges introduced regularly. With each passing phase, his resilience and strength grew, and he met every test with unwavering determination.
After three years of intense training, Devansura’s physique had transformed remarkably. His once-small frame had developed into a strong and athletic build, complete with visible muscles, defined arms, and the beginnings of a six-pack. He was not just stronger but carried himself with a quiet confidence that reflected his rigorous discipline.
Rajendra, noticing the transformation, grinned and teased, “Are you trying to rival my muscles now?”
Chandika smirked, glancing at Rajendra. “Not just muscles. He’s already much more handsome than you. I can already imagine girls lining up to follow him around.”
Devansura, not fully understanding their teasing, replied earnestly, “I’m going to be friends with them then!”
Chandika sighed and glanced at Rajendra. “This is what happens when a child doesn’t get to meet anyone or leave this jungle to visit a city.”
Rajendra chuckled. “So next time, we’ll all go to the city together.”
Devansura blinked. “What’s a city?”
Chandika chuckled softly, bending down to his level. “A city is a place full of people, buildings, and things you can’t even imagine. You’ll see things like huge structures that reach the sky, carts that move on their own, and many other amazing things.”
Devansura's eyes sparkled with excitement. “Really? I can see all that?”
Rajendra nodded with a grin. “Absolutely, but we might need to teach you how to get around the crowds first.”
Devansura nodded seriously. “I’ll be the best at it.”
Chandika laughed. “I’m sure you will. But it’s not just about the crowds; there are different kinds of food too—different from what we have here in the jungle. You’ll have to try them all!”
Devansura eagerly rubbed his hands together. “I’ll eat everything!”
Rajendra and Chandika exchanged amused looks.
Chandika’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I’ve heard there’s an academy in Vedabhumi.”
Rajendra nodded in agreement. “Yes, I’ve heard of it too. It’s not just an academy; it’s the best in the whole world. Students are accepted at the age of ten.”
Chandika considered this for a moment and said, “That’s good, then. We’ll send Devansura to that academy. There, he can make friends, learn about the world, and discover more about himself.”
Rajendra hesitated, looking concerned. “But if Devansura is accepted into that academy, we won’t be able to see him for six years. We’d only get to meet him when the semester ends and during the break time until the next semester. Will you be able to wait till then?”
Chandika thought carefully before continuing. “I know it’s hard for me, but it’s important for him to go there. Here, with complexity, we turn mana into life or death energy, and we don’t fully know how mana works. Everywhere here is mana, so he needs to learn this properly from the academy.”
Rajendra sighed but nodded. “Yes, you’re right. But don’t worry. There’s one way we can meet him every week if he’s accepted, but I’ll tell you about it later. For now, we still have six years left. He’s just four years old.”
Chandika, narrowing her eyes at Rajendra, said angrily, “If you already knew another way, why were you scaring me like that?”
Rajendra raised his hands in surrender. “Sorry, sorry.”
Chandika smiled and turned to Devansura. “Until then, I’ll see you grow stronger every day. It’s going to be joyful and fulfilling.”
