In the desolate and unforgiving streets of an area in Adarsh Nagar, nestled within the heart of Delhi, an infamous city known for its rampant crime and lawlessness, a young boy of merely elevenyears old draws his final breath. His existence reaches its poignant conclusion in an abandoned alleyway, where despair lingers as an unyielding presence. His frail body bears the relentless scars of a life filled with hardship and suffering, while his vacant eyes reflect a soul stripped of hope and vitality.
Suddenly, a weak yet radiant aura engulfs the boy, concealed from the eyes of all but a chosen few. Invisible tendrils of light gather from every inch of his emaciated form, swirling and coalescing like a self-moving, ethereal liquid. This luminescent essence, born from the amalgamation of his experiences and struggles, with the last of its remaining strength, pushes upwards. In a silent and mesmerizing ascent, it pierces through the confines of Earth's atmosphere, transcending the tangible realm.
As this blob of light leaves the ground behind and reaches the outermost layer of the planet's domain, another breathtaking yet invisible spectacle unfolds. A colossal wheel, reminiscent of the sacred Wheel of Karma, manifests itself. This symbolic representation of the cosmic cycle of cause and effect appears with intricate details. Spanning across its entire body are embossed scripts, runes and letters from languages known to Earth. Some of these symbols seem familiar, but the rest that occupy wisdom of the past and future glow in vibrant hues of white and gold. Each spoke is decorated with animated and moving sculptures of the flora and fauna that make up Earth’s ecosystem. Sculpted from the amalgamation of all minerals and rocks, it shimmers in an iridescent rainbow glow from time to time resonating with profound meaning. Adorned on ornate spokes and intricate patterns, radiates an aura of sublime power and ancient wisdom. As the blob of light approaches, the wheel embraces its arrival with a quiet reverence, drawing the luminous mass into its divine mechanism, to be spun within the tapestry of existence without a single whisper.

Groggy and in pain, I slowly open my eyes, greeted by a chorus of whispers. "Oh look, he's awake! The last one has finally woken!"
Before long, a figure glowing with an otherworldly radiance approaches me. "Time is not on our side. Tell me quickly. Do you wish to continue your existence, child?"

"Eh? Ummmm where ………… am I? Was I …….. kidnapped? What………… is this……… place?"

“Wait….. What… ummmm no…. Who…am I?”
"It seems I still have to make you accept the role of my champion. Let us not waste any more time then! The other reincarnated souls are already on their way, and we cannot afford for you to fall behind. Before you depart, ask for the power you desire, child."
"What…. ……… are you saying miss? Can you please help me? I ….. don’t understand anything…."
"Oh my! You wish to understand is it? You indeed possess the gift of sight beyond the light! You are truly blessed, child. If knowledge is what you seek, knowledge is what you shall receive! Now, off you go!"
Suddenly, I find myself floating, hurtling towards the ground. Was I in the sky? Who was that elf-like figure?

A new chapter unfolds in a realm nestled within the dying World Tree. Born from the withering roots of the ancient tree, it was once an inconceivable existence, brimming with vitality and teeming with life. It now stands on the precipice of twilight, with the fading strength of its former self.
A karmic wheel appears along the borders of the realm, suddenly spewing out multiple blobs of light that rapidly descend into this realm. Four dominant forces reign supreme, embodying the essence of fire, earth, water, and air. Some blobs disappear in the first zone pulsating with scorching flames, where fire dances and molds the landscape with its fiery embrace. Some land in the second zone, where water and ice intertwine, creating a realm of shimmering glaciers and crystalline landscapes. Some don't fall too far and nestle themselves high up in the fourth zone, resonating with the gentle whispers of the air and moving clouds, an ethereal expanse that carries the melodies of wind and grants the gift of flight. Finally, we see a single smaller blob of light, wobbly and wonkier than its predecessors, accelerate and crash in the last zone, emanating the serene beauty of earth and nature, a realm where verdant flora thrives and roams freely.
