Chakra Fruit
"System! Check how I complete my mission by making these guys regret being born."
Aditya's eyes gleamed with excitement as he declared, a creepy smile stretching across his face.
//System doesn't really care about insects fighting//
The system replied, indifferent to Aditya's enthusiasm.
"What the heck does that even mean? Who the heck are you calling insect..."
Aditya's voice trailed off, embarrassment mingling with offense at the system's response.
**Screech**
"You can still walk after that much beating?"
A guy enjoying his lunch in the cafeteria stood abruptly, his chair skidding away, and charged towards Aditya. With a clenched fist, he aimed a punch at Aditya's cheek.
Aditya smirked confidently as his opponent lunged forward, aiming a punch at his left cheek.
"You think you can punch me this easily? Just because I took the beatings doesn't mean I am really a simp or you're a real fighter."
He quipped, his voice laced with defiance. With swift reflexes, Aditya shielded the incoming blow with his left hand, a proud grin etched on his face. As the tension mounted, Aditya's demeanor remained unfazed.
"This gonna make you dizzy for some seconds.."
He declared coolly, his right hand poised for action. In one fluid motion, he swung his arm below and landed a solid punch on his opponent's cheek. The impact was palpable as the guy's eyes clouded over, his equilibrium disrupted by the force of Aditya's strike. Standing there in a daze, he resembled a drunken man struggling to fit his key into a stubborn lock, lost in a haze of confusion.
"How dare you beat him? You're dead now!"
Shouted another guy, rising from his chair in response to the unexpected situation. Vinay, calmly seated, observed Aditya closely.
"His eyes seem different now. The rage has turned into excitement. Be careful, guys"
Vinay warned as he joined the fight. Vinay observed a shift in Aditya's gaze. Previously, when they tormented him, his eyes remained indifferent, masking a subtle blend of anger and emptiness. However, now, those once vacant and emotionless eyes seemed to sparkle with a newfound excitement, as though he had finally broken free from the confines of a long-standing imprisonment.
Vinay and the three guys formed a circle around Aditya, positioning themselves on the front, left, and right. Aditya, slightly bending his chest, focused on the four with only his eyes moving.
"So, you do know how to fight!"
Remarked Vinay, cracking his fingers.
"I do much better than you!"
Aditya replied with a grin, taking a step back with his left leg.
"Take this!"
A guy behind Aditya attempted to catch him with his arms.
"Such an obvious move!"
Aditya skillfully dodged, countering with a punch to the guy on his left, breaking his nose. Vinay saw an opening and aimed a kick at Aditya's right abdomen.
"Good one! But that opening was intentional!"
Aditya grinned, catching Vinay's leg and pulling him down.
As Vinay fell, Aditya spun leftwards and swiftly kicked a guy in front who tried to intervene. Aditya's formidable physical strength left all four of them struggling to maintain control over their bodies.
"Hahaha..."
A triumphant laughter echoed throughout the cafeteria as Aditya beat them until he was satisfied.
//Mission completed//
//+Chakra fruit rewarded//
"Mission? Why... oh, damn! I forgot why I'm beating these bastards in the heat of the moment....Open Rewards."
Aditya halted his kick, his mind racing with thoughts. The four bullies lay sprawled on the ground, groaning from their injuries. Vinay, still on the ground, fixed his gaze on Aditya's profile, devoid of anger or shame, his eyes locked on Aditya's face without wavering.

"Well! Let's take care of this mess first before thinking about the rewards,"
Aditya, muttered, as he noticed teachers approaching him. They escorted him straight to the principal's office, and Aditya found himself swiftly expelled, the principal merely phoning his orphanage for formality's sake.
Leaving the school premises behind, Aditya treaded towards the familiar path leading to his orphanage. The disappointed expressions of the Orphanage people flashed through his mind.
"No, I'm not going to regret this! It's the only way to live my life as I want."
Aditya declared, sprinting towards the mountain path near his orphanage, a satisfied expression gracing his face.
Aditya ascended the mountain, following his routine, and reached the lake. Perched atop a tree, he uttered, directing the system.
"Use the Reward!"
**Plop**
The fruit materialized in his hand, seemingly conjured from thin air. Its appearance resembled that of a ripe mango, boasting a vibrant reddish skin with golden undertones, tempting in its allure.
"Wow! It appeared out of nowhere! It looks tasty. Should I eat it? Mmm... Oh! It didn't even have a seed in it."
Exclaimed Aditya as he eyed the mysterious fruit, contemplating its taste. With curiosity getting the better of him, he took a bite, savoring its flavor. It tasted like a sweet mango with a hint of honey blended in it. However, as he finished the fruit, a sharp pain gripped his stomach.
"Aaa... What? Is it poisoned? It hurts like hell!"
Aditya shouted, clutching his stomach while trying to maintain his balance on the tree branch where he sat. Suddenly, his body began to emit a radiant glow, absorbing vapour-like energy from the surrounding area in a tremendous amount.
He felt this familiar thick vapor of energy enveloping him, when he is meditating with the Pendant. This time, it seemed to seep into him in copious amounts, coursing through his chakra channels. His nerves tingled as if on the verge of bursting, inundated by the dense energy that congregated in his lower abdomen. There, it swirled around a bead-like center, a phenomenon he hadn't experienced until now.
//Absorbing prana to stabilize the chakra//
"Prana? What's that? Am I absorbing this energy? Ohh! It's swirling like crazy here!"
Aditya exclaimed, sensing the prana flowing through his nerve channels, condensing into a circle in his lower stomach region.
//Establishing root chakra in the host. 1 hour left//
"At least give a hint before you're going to do something, dammit!"
He exclaimed, his voice strained with frustration. The sudden pain he experienced after eating the fruit only added to his vexation.
"And what is that root chakra?"
He demanded, his mind racing with questions and annoyance.
"System!"
He muttered inwardly, hoping for some clarity amidst the confusion.

"Ohh! Some things in the panel have changed. Maybe I got 50 chaos points from finishing the first mission. And my cultivation is Prana Absorbing 9th layer? When did I cultivate before that I am in the 9th layer now?"
Aditya exclaimed, confusion flickered in his eyes, mixed with excitement.
He then attempted to open the shop, only to find it locked as he needed 500 Choas points to unlock it. Perched atop the tree, he patiently awaited the full formation of the root chakra, pondering his next steps in the quiet moments that followed.
