The sun shone brightly over the Forbidden Forest. On a conspicuous place in a certain part of the forest stood a medium sized rock. Unlike ordinary rocks, it had a smooth surface, like a gem which caused sunrays to reflect over its surface. With a purple color, it appeared extremely peculiar. It was a fortune that almost no beings could exist in this place, else it would definitely be stolen ten thousand times over.
Suddenly, a crisp crack sounded and vein like lines appeared over the entire rock. The rock was beginning to break and a storm like Profound Energy started gathering near it. The rock was absorbing Profound Energy at an unbelievable speed, and simultaneously cracks continued to grow, covering its whole surface.
After a long while, the storm collapsed and something seemed to struggle to get out.
BOOM! The rock shattered, creating a huge hole. A hand came out, followed by an entire body. He looked like a 16 year old human, except for his ridiculously pale white skin and snow white hair. Even his pupils were white colored. It looked as if he was thrown into while paint and dried on wood logs. This person was, obviously, our protagonist.
When Param gained consciousness, he was trapped in a small space, floating in gooey liquid. He understood right away- all along he had been living in a matrix! However, he wasn't sure. The previous world felt flawless, even the chicken tasted good- except when his mother made it. The gooey liquid was all over, making it difficult to move or see. He stretched his hand and felt the inner lining. It was smooth and firm yet elastic. He pushed the wall with both his hands trying to break it. The wall slightly bent, distorted and finally caved in. Light entered from the hole, illuminating the space. He pushed more, and tore away the wall.
Crawling outside he chocked out the gooey stuff which had entered his mouth, nose and almost every hole in his body. He opened his eyes, looked around and became stunned.
He expected himself to find himself in a futuristic place, yet what he saw was a lush forest. Except for the fact that the trees and everything else was ridiculously huge, it was indeed an authentic forest.
He sighed, and looked at himself. His skin was chalk-white no; it was snow white and smooth and glossy like a newborn child. He looked further down and saw his 'sword'. He felt relieved. As long as his trusty weapon and family jewels were there, everything else could be salvaged. After all, if they became missing, who could he go and cry to?
He looked back, towards the place he 'came' from and received another shock. Because where he came from a rock! He slowly walked towards it and confirmed once again. His 'mother' was indeed a rock!
He closed his eyes and reviewaed the facts-
He was attacked and lost consciousness.
He was reborn in another world as a white colored weirdo.
His mother was a rock.
He was naked in an unknown forest where everything was huge.
He opened his eyes and hoped that no one in the forest would be interested in eating a naked flour guy like him.
Varaha was one of the lords of the Forbidden Forest. His body was entirely made of Profound Energy, the energy enclosed by planes formed by again by Profound Energy, forming an intricate structure. Although he looked like a boar, technically he wasn't much different from his siblings, the swan Hansa and the horned snake Shesha.
Currently this mighty being was tracing the thief who was stealing the energy of the island. Although unnecessary, he still undertook this task. Afterall, he had been bored for almost a hundred years.
Sensing the change in surroundings and after some twists and turns, he finally found the culprit.
He was a humanoid being and was so white that his eyes hurt. It wasn't that he had never seen any other living being. Because whenever he or his siblings felt that they had become bored of becoming bored, they would travel to the Gateway Island at the entrance of the forest to bully other humanoid beings. As such, he had seen all types of them. But he had never seen anyone so white.
Maybe its some kind of illness, he thought. After all, unlike an almighty being like himself, these humanoid creatures were simply too weak.
There was a crystal like rock behind him, and a thought passed through his mind. Can it be…? Turning his attention to the naked humanoid, he saw the creature looked at him, stunned like a statue. So Varaha asked the unusual creature,
"Who are you?"
What do you do when one encounters a ridiculously huge supernatural creature and it asks you a question?
A: Pee your pants and beg for mercy.
B: Start crying and run away.
C: Answer him.
Param was having the exact same thought. He analyzed- he had no pants and he didn't like crying in front of others. So after some deep contemplation, he chose to answer.
"My name is Param."
"What a weird name." the huge boar spoke. "Its not surprising coming from a weird looking creature."
Param snorted in his mind, who are you to talk, like you look normal! Of course, these thoughts stayed in his mind. Given the strength of the other party, it would only require a slap to turn him into meat paste.
They talked some more and Param understood a lot of things. The boar named Varaha had been perhaps alone for a lot of time, so he was a lot talkative. He asked Param where he came from, what kind of species was he, and why he was so white. The last question made three black lines appear on his forehead. If one roam the forest, he would find a giant boar who did not look like a result of natural evolution talking to a moving marble statue, which of course was naked.
"So is there any way to get clothes ?" Param asked. His did not want to go commando forever. So he decided to try his luck asking his new friend.
"Hmm… I have some thingies" the boar replied. As the sovereign of the forest, he had collected many peculiar things from the intruders who invaded his domain.
Entering a cave, the boar showed Param his trophies, which was a knick-knack of all kinds of stuff… jewels, clothes, strange things which looked like some kind of devices, and even carriages and parts of some ships.
He chose a purple robe which looked pretty luxurious. Even though it was god knows how old, it still felt soft and smooth and had a purple glow. One glance and you could tell that it was high quality stuff.
A few hours were enough for the boar Varaha to send Param to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. From the shore, they could see another piece of land- the Gateway Island.
"Let me send you there." Varaha offered.
"Sure. But can you swim ?"
"Snort. I am the sovereign"
The man and beast duo travelled through the ocean and shortly arrived on the other land. Varaha the boar dropped off his 'ill' friend and returned. Param looked at his departed back, and then turned his head.
A lush and living forest surrounded him. He was truly on his own now.
Finally the first chapter !!! There might be some delays in upcoming chapters in the next two weeks as I am working on the world building aspect of the novel. We'll be having regular and consistent chapters after two weeks.
And yesss... I am working on getting a book cover for our novel. It's a little hard to get them.
