Kapitel 4: The Forgotten Scientist
While Shubhu quietly made his way towards the mysterious dungeon, determined to uncover its secrets, far away in the grand academy of Satal, a teacher named Ramesh gathered his students. Ramesh was not just any teacher—he was the heir of the God of All Knowledge, and his wisdom was unmatched.
"Children," Ramesh began in his calm yet authoritative voice, "as you all know, this planet as we see it today did not exist two years ago. It was formed when two planets, Earth and Satal, merged due to a catastrophic event. What you see around you now—our land, the skies, even the flow of time itself—was once very different."
The students leaned in closer, their eyes wide with curiosity. This was a story that had been passed down in fragments, but Ramesh's version always brought new details to life.
"Surviving here without divine powers is impossible," Ramesh continued. "That's why the gods chose heirs among us, granting us their power. But do you know how all of this began? How the peaceful worlds of Earth and Satal were thrown into chaos?"
The classroom fell silent. Everyone was eager to hear the full story.
"It all started on Earth," Ramesh said, pacing slowly. "There was once a scientist, a man named Shubhu. He was brilliant, curious, and reckless. His research into time and space—forces far beyond human control—led to an experiment that caused a massive explosion. This explosion tore through the very fabric of reality, merging our two worlds into one. In an instant, everything changed."
The students gasped. The merging of the planets was legendary, but to hear it described this way made the disaster feel even more real.
"Both Earth and Satal were peaceful before this," Ramesh continued. "But after the merger, the laws of physics and nature themselves were thrown into chaos. Our planet became far larger than it ever was before. The days grew longer, the nights darker. Time itself slowed and stretched in strange ways. Volcanoes that had been dormant for centuries erupted violently, sending rivers of molten lava across the land. The oceans of Satal and Earth collided, causing floods that drowned entire cities in mere moments. Earthquakes shattered the ground beneath us, and mountains crumbled like sandcastles. The merging wasn't just a catastrophe—it was a complete rebirth of both worlds."
The room fell silent as the students tried to imagine the scale of such destruction.
"But the chaos didn't end with nature," Ramesh said, his voice lower now. "Human nature itself was tested. With resources scarce and survival uncertain, order broke down. In the first few weeks, cities descended into anarchy. Food and water were in short supply. Governments collapsed under the weight of the disaster. People fought in the streets for whatever scraps they could find. Robberies became common. People turned on each other, desperate for survival."
Ramesh's expression darkened as he continued. "There were darker things too... Horrors we try to forget. Women were assaulted, families torn apart. Lawlessness reigned. The weak suffered, and the strong took what they wanted. It was a time of brutality. Not everyone made it through those dark days with their humanity intact."
A few students exchanged nervous glances, horrified by the picture Ramesh was painting. This was a world they had only heard whispers about, a world that seemed impossibly cruel.
"The very rules that governed Satal and Earth changed overnight," Ramesh explained. "On Satal, we had long been guided by divine laws—balance and harmony maintained by the gods. But with the merger, those laws were shattered. Time no longer flowed as it should. Gravity, seasons, even the very cycle of life and death... everything was warped. The gods were silent in those days, seemingly unaware or asleep. People fought not just for survival, but to understand the new world around them."
He paused, letting the weight of his words settle. "And that's when the monsters came."
The students shuddered. They had all heard stories about the creatures that roamed the dungeons, but hearing it from Ramesh made it feel even more real.
"Monsters," Ramesh said grimly, "born from the chaos. Some were once human, twisted by the energy unleashed by Shubhu's experiment. Others were creatures of nightmare, pulled from the darkest corners of reality. These monsters roamed the land, destroying whatever they found. Cities fell, and once again, people fled in terror."
A student raised his hand, his voice shaky. "Sir... how did it stop? How did we survive?"
Ramesh nodded, knowing the question would come. "One year after the disaster, when it seemed all hope was lost, we began to hear a voice—the voice of the gods. They had finally awakened from their long slumber, stirred by the chaos. Seeing the devastation, they intervened. The gods chose heirs from among the survivors, granting us their power so we could rebuild. They gave us the strength to seal the monsters into dungeons and restore some semblance of order to the world."
The students sat in silence, processing everything Ramesh had just told them. The story of how the world came to be was far darker than they had imagined.
"But sir," one student asked hesitantly, "what happened to Shubhu? The one who caused all this?"
At this, Ramesh's expression darkened once again. "Ah, yes. Shubhu..." he began. "Once it was discovered that his experiment had caused this disaster, there was chaos. The gods were furious. People wanted justice. He was captured, and his punishment was to be severe."
The students sat up straight, eager to hear what had happened next.
"However," Ramesh continued, "just before his sentencing, something strange happened. Shubhu disappeared. He vanished into a portal, and no one—no human, no god—has been able to locate him since. It's as though he disappeared from existence."
Another student raised her hand. "Do you think Shubhu is still alive?"
Ramesh's eyes narrowed, his tone grave. "It's hard to say. Some believe that Shubhu was consumed by his own power, lost forever in the depths of time and space. Others think he escaped into another dimension. What we do know is that the gods themselves have not been able to track him. Whatever happened to him, it's clear that he's no ordinary man."
The classroom buzzed with whispers, the students' imaginations running wild. Was Shubhu still out there, hiding in the shadows? Or had he met a fate worse than death?
As Ramesh wrapped up the lesson, he couldn't help but wonder the same thing. Shubhu, the scientist responsible for merging two worlds—what had become of him? And what role would he play in the future of this strange, new world??
