Chapter No.4 System Exploration

Yawn~

A cute yawn sounded in a luxurious chamber from the Royal Palace. Meghnad, now curdled in the arms of his mother woke up for the first time.

Queen Mandodari, her eyes filled with motherly affection, gently cradled Meghnad in her arms. The royal chamber, adorned with intricate tapestries and golden accents, felt like a haven of warmth and comfort. As Meghnad blinked his eyes open, the room seemed to brighten with the purity of his gaze.

"He's awake," the attendants whispered in awe, their eyes fixed on the newborn prince.

The news of Meghnad's birthmark had not diminished the love and adoration that surrounded him. If anything, the mystique only added to his allure. Queen Mandodari, despite the concerns voiced by the physicians, saw nothing but a perfect and unique blessing in her son.

As she cooed and whispered sweet words to Meghnad, the attendants discreetly left the room, allowing the royal family a moment of intimate connection. Queen Mandodari, aware of the responsibilities and challenges that lay ahead for her son, felt an overwhelming surge of love and protection.

"He is truly a special child, Mandodari," King Ravana remarked, entering the chamber with a rare softness in his gaze. The weight of the crown seemed to lift momentarily as he beheld his newborn son.

"He bears a mark that connects him to realms beyond our understanding. It is a symbol of destiny, I believe," Ravana continued, his voice carrying a mix of reverence and curiosity.

Queen Mandodari nodded, her eyes still fixed on Meghnad's face. "Destiny or not, he is our son, and he will be loved and cherished. No matter what challenges come our way, we shall face them together as a family."

Ravana's stern expression softened further, and he placed a gentle hand on Mandodari's shoulder. "You are right, Mandodari. Our family is our strength, and Meghnad shall carry the legacy of Lanka into the future."

While Ravana and Mandodari were talking, Indrajit who is currently little Meghnad was staring at the system panel in front of him loading up.

"Ability Wheel," Meghnad inquired

[Spinning...]

The wheel rotated with a mesmerizing speed, the various abilities and skills flashing before Meghnad's eyes. As it gradually slowed down, a bright light illuminated the chosen ability.

[Bael: Power of Destruction]

Meghnad, now Prince Meghnad of Lanka, stared at the Ability Wheel with a mix of excitement and curiosity. The chosen ability, "Bael Clan: Power of Destruction," held an air of mystery. He could feel the potential of immense power coursing through him.

"Eve, tell me more about this Bael Clan: Power of Destruction," Meghnad inquired, eager to understand the scope of his newfound ability.

These features will become available as the host gains sufficient power.]

Meghnad, absorbing the information provided by the Devil System, felt a surge of excitement and determination. The potential of unlocking new abilities and delving into the mysteries of his existence filled him with a sense of purpose.

"Quest Board," he commanded, curious about the challenges and opportunities that awaited him.

[Loading Quest Board... Please wait.]

[No available quests at the moment. Check back later.]

Meghnad, slightly disappointed by the lack of immediate quests, understood that his journey was just beginning. With a newfound resolve, he turned his attention to other aspects of the Devil System.

"System, how do I gain Devil Points and increase my power level?" he inquired, eager to understand the mechanics of his progression.

[Gaining Devil Points: Devil Points can be acquired by completing quests, defeating powerful adversaries, and achieving significant milestones in your journey.]

[Power Level: Your power level will increase as you accumulate experience, master new abilities, and most importantly cultivate Yogic Prana.]

...

"Here drink up, you must be hungry my little one~"

Meghnad, now fully engrossed in his role as a newborn, was fed by his mother, Queen Mandodari. The tender moment between mother and child created a sense of warmth and love in the royal chamber. The events that had unfolded since his birth, from the mysterious birthmark to the revelation of the Devil System, lingered in the back of his consciousness.

***

"Maharaj, Shani Dev has escaped from the prison."

The news of Shani Dev's escape reverberated through the royal court, interrupting the tranquility that had settled in the palace after Meghnad's birth. King Ravana's expression darkened as he received the report.

"Escaped?!" Ravana thundered, his voice echoing in the throne room. The attendants and courtiers exchanged nervous glances, well aware of the significance of Shani Dev's escape.

The celestial being, known for his strict and just nature, was not one to be taken lightly. His defiance had led to his imprisonment under Ravana's feet, a symbolic act of asserting dominance over the planet. Now, with news of his escape, a sense of foreboding filled the air.

"Find him! Bring Shani Dev back to his rightful place!" Ravana commanded, his eyes ablaze with determination.

The royal court immediately mobilized to search for Shani Dev, the escaped celestial being. The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of Lanka-Lankapuri. The citizens, already intrigued by the events surrounding Meghnad's birth, now buzzed with whispers of Shani Dev's escape.

"I am going to my chambers, Inform me immediately if there are any updates on Shani Dev's whereabouts," Ravana ordered, his mind preoccupied with the potential consequences of the celestial being seeking revenge.

As King Ravana withdrew to his private chambers, the atmosphere in the royal court remained tense. The courtiers and attendants exchanged concerned glances, realizing the gravity of the situation.
