Weekly bonus chapter goals: • 1 review: 1 extra chapter • 100+ (weekly) Power stones: 2 extra chapters. • Every 10 Golden Ticket = 2 extra chapters • Super gift = 4-8 extra chapters (depending on the super gift.) Normal posting schedule: 1 chapter(s) per day *** In a realm where immortal beings, known as the Chiranjeevis, have long protected humanity from evil demons, these guardians' sudden and mysterious disappearance throws the entire mortal realm into chaos. The gods themselves are deeply concerned, knowing that the Chiranjeevi's presence is vital for the survival of the mortal world. With the defenders gone, humanity is left vulnerable and defenceless against the looming threat of darkness. Amidst the escalating crisis, the anxious gods seek counsel from the great lord Shiva, the supreme deity. Recognising the gravity of the situation, Lord Shiva devises a daring plan to address the unprecedented crisis. He instructs the Devas to gather the remaining Somras, a potent elixir of immortality possessed by divine beings. At the same time, he commands lord Nandi to summon lord Parshuram, one of the original seven immortals, and entrust him with the precious Somras. The justification behind this bold approach was to awaken the Eighth Immortal, an entity whose existence even the all-knowing Lord Brahma would not expect, let alone the demons. While such a tactic may be regarded as abnormal and unsafe, the gods had no choice but to take extreme measures in the dreadful times. Their hope was that this new immortal, unlike any other, would rise to the occasion and restore the much-needed balance, shielding humanity from the looming darkness that threatens to swallow the mortal realm as well as find out what happened to the two missing immortals. *** Discord server link: https://discord.gg/bjetmPER5p

Glossary

• Chiranjeevis: Immortals who gained immortality either through a blessing or a curse. They are tasked with defending and keeping humans on the path of righteousness.

• Mahadev: God of gods, Lord Shiva. The literal meaning of the word is The greatest god, where 'Maha' means Great/Greatest and 'Dev' means God.

• Adiyogi: Adiyogi refers to the originator of yoga. Taken from Sanskrit, 'Adi' means first and 'Yogi' means practitioner of yoga. It also refers to Lord Shiva as he is not only a god but the first yogi. Hence, he is also called Adiyogi.

• Samudra Manthan: The literal translation of the words 'Samudra Manthan' means churning of the sea. 'Samudra' means 'ocean', and 'Manthan' means 'Churning'.

According to Hindu texts, it was a cosmic event that led to the birth of divine goddesses, angels, and many precious valuables, including the elixir of immortality, Amrit, which I have called somras in the novel.

• Kalava: It is a red thread that is tied to the wrist by Hindus before the beginning of a religious ceremony or 'Puja'. The thread is tied on the right hand by males and on the left hand by females. The thread is tied to invoke the blessings of the Hindu deities, especially of the particular deity to whom the puja is dedicated.

There is also a popular belief that the sanctified red thread, with the blessing of the gods, protects a person from diseases, enemies and other dangers.

• Rastala Loka: The realm of monsters or, in other words, Asuras. These demons are considered eternal enemies or foes to the Gods in heaven.

• Blood-void: Someone without a bloodline. The phrase is usually used in a demeaning way to mock those without proper lineage.
