A few days later
'Well, it's time to get going, I've just learnt how to locate but, it's really only a starter level, if speaking literally,'
Translocator is at Level 1.
'She doesn't even....why? Well, if this is like an RPG, um, well my intellect was raised on studying the Gita, so maybe that means I should use this skill.'
Right now you can use the translocator once in 4 hours.
'So let me try, let's locate the Brahmānd Astra. Translocator: Brahmānd Astra!'
That very instant Rudra vanished. He emerged in a marketplace, seemed like Sarojini Nagar.
'Well, it's a level 1 power, what did I expect. Must be hundreds of kilometres away from here. Useless, but I need to level it up!'
Brahmānd Astra is within a 400 metre radius.
'What?'
Translocator level up. Level 2 Acquired! Now you can use the Translocator skill every 3 hours 45 minutes.
'Awesome! New level! Yeaaahh....waitaminute! 400 metres? That means, it must be nearby, that means it is in....Sarojini Nagar, no no, not necessarily, but it is in Delhi. What? Someone found the Brahmānd Astra? Wait. Is the radius two-dimensional or three-dimensional?'
Three-dimensional.
'That means, there is a good chance someone got it, or it's buried? But even then, why would it be buried? The Gods would never bury such a sacred item, maybe there might be a temple? At 400 metres, no. The radius is 400 metres, but the item is not necessarily at 400 metres, means it could be lesser than that and that means that a chance of it being buried is less than 20 per cent. That means someone found it, even if it were buried, 400 metres is not necessarily deep. That means there is a more than 95 per cent chance someone found it. That means....that explosion, someone used the Brahmānd Astra! But it was too small, if it were used the whole universe would be destroyed, ummmm. Was it controlled? No, the blast was not very clean, it was very rough. That means, that whoever has the Brahmānd Astra does not even have 10 per cent of it's power. The Brahmānd Astra can only be unlocked by someone like me, but even to be partially unlocked, ummmm! Hey! That means that whoever has Kartik, has the Brahmānd Astra. Oh dear Lord! That's trouble.'
Intellect raised to Level 694. Reasoning & Analysis reached Level 700. New skill acquired: Adapt. Adapt is a passive skill, does not need to be used, is active all the time and it quickly adapts the possessor to all kinds of situations and conditions at the very moment they are exposed to it. This skill is only present at a true Trinity level user.
'Wow, I'm a true 'Trinity level user', now I can beat anyone, I don't need the astras, huh.'
As he was walking down the street, he bumped into a few people. He was being a bit careless, having acquired such a useful power, he was sort of celebrating by dancing while walking. He was receiving annoyed glances from people around him, but it didn't affect him one bit!
The street started to get really narrow and there was an unstoppable, unending 'mob' of people going into it and coming out, but still it didn't bother him. He just went in.
It was so crowded, halfway in, he decided to go back but then have up the idea.
Adapt! New skill Acquired! Alert. Alert is a passive skill, it gives the user an alert if there is any danger, an enemy or a possible future ally or present ally around. It is one of the few passive skills that level up.
'So basically you start looking for stuff you don't know about. How 'useful' !'
Alert. Alert. Alert. Person of Interest detected.
'Well, at least you can tell if it's a person or something else. Who can it be? Wait it might be the person who kidnapped Kartik.'
He started looking around.
'How do I identify this person of interest?'
He was looking with concentration and focus, when suddenly, he felt a slight vibration in his head.
'Wait.'
He started to search for the vibration now, again! He felt the buzz, but he didn't want to lose it, so he looked with more focus, suddenly, he felt a very mild, continuous vibration.
'Has he stopped?'
Intellect raised to lebel 695. Reasoning & Analysis raised to Level 701.
'Wow. Wait! There! That's him! That's the sage!'
The buzz vanished.
He started to push through the crowd, but it was impossible to locate one person through all this crowd.
'Wish I could fly! Sigh.'
New skill acquired! Fly! Fly lets you fly anywhere, anytime.
'What?'
Suddenly he was thrown into the sky at a very high speed.
'I can fly, but why can't I control it. Oooohhhhhh noooooooooo!'
He was about to bump into a building, when he suddenly stopped in mid air.
'What about it? I can control it....yeah, yeah...umm..mm..mmmmmmm, Imma Superman. I'm Henry Cavill!'
He forgot all about the sage and started flying to random places all around.
'I don't understand, why is it so easy for me to level up. I mean, why?'
'Because it's not actually a video game, it's just a temporary AI I gave you to keep track of your abilities. And besides, you are me! My power is limitless and so is yours! Why do I have to tell you this again and again?'
'Sorry milord. Wait. Why'd you talk to me for this, I mean you could have offeree me this pearl of wisdom at any time, ummmm. Wait you were interested in my progress. That means you care about me!'
'Well, of course, I do. You're me, and I'm you.'
'Such a touching story.'
'You dare mock me?'
'I"m sorry, oh wait, I can hear Paro calling you again.'
'Oh, wait. You can't call her Paro, only I can, because I am her husband.'
'Well, newsflash, you're me and I'm you, therefore I'm her husband too and therefore I can call her Paro too.'
'I'll show you!'
'You won't, you love me too much. So in exchange for this favour, tell me everything.'
'What favour?'
'This divine plan favour.'
'Oh. Well in any case, I have told you everything.'
'Shit.'
