Chapter 5: The truth of KARMA:

He reaches his master's place, he checks if master was home, but no one was there and most of his belongings were still there, which meant he has not left the place, maybe have gone somewhere. With a groan, Noah don't have time to waste in waiting, but he needs some answer too before he can make some move. He takes the decision of waiting for the master till the sun shows its last lights of the day. He started his root chakra meditation in the meantime. It's already been hours since Noah has entered the VR game this time, and pushing again for root chakra will put deep impact on him, yet he finds this better than sitting idle and wait. Noah starts his meditation, clearing the mind space, focusing on the root chakra in the spine and putting up the root chakra symbol in that balnk mind space, felling the insides of the body flowing in red, he gets deep in meditation its been too long, he opened his eyes and in the same moment takes off his VR, and just as when he takes a step, he just cannot move his body, he want to shout but cannot, he closes his eyes to not freak out and use all his power to move, the next moment his body gets thrown in front from the power and he falls of his bed. He realized he was sleep paralyzed, but how did he end up in his bed, he gets down in search of his mom, but couldn't find her, because she is not an idle person, she has a life too, Noah calls his mom immediately. "Hello honey, you already up?" his mother picks up the call and answers, "mom, do you know when did I sleep yesterday by any chance?" Noah throws a question. "I found you in your VR setup in the morning, and you were sleeping there so I got you to your bed and tucked in. I don't want that when I get in your room and find you like this, you better watch yourself mister", "okay, thanks mom, bye" Noah responds and disconnected the call. While sitting on dining table Noah tries to put all the pieces in line to know what exactly happened, now he knew how he got to his bed, but he needs to know how the hell he ended up sleeping while focusing on his muldhara. The only way to find he sees is getting back in the game. He first put himself together, takes a shower, trying to improve the energy around, though Noah's character has developed a lot in the game yet in real life the good things don't reflect so much compared to the negative impacts of the game. He might look calm on outside but inside, it's his own personal hell he is rotting in, from the loss of past, pain of present and expectations of tomorrow. Back to the VR entering his other world which he weighs more than this one at least for now. Open his eyes in the game and found himself trapped inside a cave or something. He is now more tensed as now he was expecting himself to be at his master's place and he somehow ends up in the place, trapped. He suspects that the other played who abandoned the fight, he might have followed him and took advantage while he was meditating, "yes, now it fits right, but still, I should have known in meditation if someone would come near me, maybe he used some power maybe? Idk, but once I get out of this, I'll find and make him tell me" Noah folds his hands and try to concentrate on how to get out of this place. He cannot use teleportation as he has no idea where he is and which nearby place, he can teleport to, from the terrain powers, there is neither water or land, its just rocks somehow. He then folds a hand to his back and put pressure on his root chakra spot a little, and place the other hand on the ground to know where is he exactly, he still has to work on this power but he can do it just with a little extra time, he focuses on the image building in his mind, he can see it's a mountain and a cave is prepared over it using power of these portable electric pods. "Huh, won't be that hard to break through it from inside, but why?" Noah walks to the wall and puts one of his hands in front in a way that his palm faces the rocks, from there he cracked and pulled out the rocks and then teleported out of it after getting a view of outside to avoid that electric defence. As soon as he gets out of there, he looks around for a clue but founds nothing, he then finds the road which will take him back to the city. He travelled safely and without any extra trouble on the way back, he stopped in front of the city gate, remembering his pain and goal because he is entering the city again now and he shall never move away from his purpose to be here in the first place. There was quite some crowd in the market street Noah was walking through, he still didn't know where to begin the search of that homeless man, so he decided to go back to the same place he saw him before, in front of KARMA gaming co. building, while on his way, he saw the same player from before, one who he suspects, he discreetly starts to follow him, but the other player was not that naive, he noticed the surge of power around him, because it was different from regular. He starts to walk in the crowd to mix in them, Noah following him realizes that he has been spotted and the other player will try to flee any moment. Noah makes a move on the other player, the player tries to run away but Noah keeps up with him, after running behind him, at the end Noah finds himself in the outskirts type of place, there was a warehouse there with a house beside it, he walks a bit close to the house as he sees an old man working outside of it, "hello there, did you see some boy come near here?" Noah asks loudly. The old man turns around with his hands behind. Noah looks at the old man and gets shocked "you.??? You were the one I was searching for, now answer my questions old man" Noah said, "make me spill them you little boy" the old man replied. Noah makes a run towards the old man and as he was about to hit him, a sword stops him, someone came and stood in front of the old man, and yes, it is who one might take a hint off, the other player who Noah was chasing was defending the old man, "what the hell is going on here now?" Noah breaks out on both of them in anger. "This homeless person knows something about my father and he somehow knows you, you who first left the battle grounds in despair and then used some power to take me out and capture me in that weak cave of yours. Now is anybody speaking or should I lose my calm here" Noah said. "don't worry, I'll bring your piece to light" the other player said, "my name in NANDAKA- the swords of Vishnu, a player like you, but real human level AI and the homeless old man you say, is Guru Nathan, respectfully called as, GURUNATH; he is one of those who developed this place, developed me" the other player explains. Guru Nath continues- "just like your father" Noah's expression changes instantly, " yes, we two made this game, the time I saw into your eyes I could see all your pain and all that you know about your father, your purpose, but things are not that simple here now, the gaming company that you already know of, where we worked, has taken over this place, your dad and I were here to test the world we made, but because of some system fail we got trapped inside, are body was still there so we were able to communicate with them, but there was only one that could have brought us out, but the company didn't care, they went to save their servers from crashing instead, we both stuck in the game, your father and I trained at max, unlocking chakras and learning and developing powers. He was extra ordinary because of his pain of separation from you and your mom, he wanted to finish this game so maybe then, maybe then we could break out of here, but this evil game took over his sorrow and got deep into his brain which took over his life from the real Seth in real world, the time here is very fast compared to real world, but every moment he wanted to get out just for his family, I knew I was good, but not enough to take down karma gaming alone, when I gathered everyone and rebelled they threw me away from the city and asked that anyone who seeks to help him will see their family die, Nandaka didn't have anybody to loose, he came along with me to defend and be trained to one day bring karma to justice the people were not stupid because they have seen everything from start, they kept on discovering and learning powers to fight against karma gaming, and when karma realized that the time was coming when their sun would set, they released an announcement, stating that they would stop exploiting the city and leave the citizens alone if the people can beat the clan of karma gaming, player well trained, well equipped and not to forget the clan of rulers. The people felt their training was enough to take down karma clan, which could have been true, but because of conflicts in way of execution the people divided themselves in different clans, they didn't hate each other but they didn't like either. In time the they grew apart more and karma gaming got the advantage they wanted, no one has ever defeated them, they have created the competition which suits their players, high intensity mental and physical tasks not to forget against the best of bests". "So, how, how can we defeat them, I can do anything to avenge my father's death" Noah asks, "it's very simple, go through all he tasks and missions and fights, it's the last man standing, and to win, it should not be the Karma gaming, which hasn't happened yet" Nandaka answers. "don't worry just tell me how it has to be done and I'll make sure it does, my father's justice is all I seek and for which I shall be ready to kill or be killed if required.
