"Threads of Fate: Rikto's Awakening in the Mahabharata"

Time skip 3 years

In the royal palace of Navaratna, a small boy was in a daze. He was the prince of this kingdom. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but his name in this life didn't change. He was named Rikto by his mother.

The reason he was in a daze was because he had just discovered that he seemed to have been born in Dwapar Yuga. How did he find that out? Well, today a king called Pandu came to the palace as a guest. Prince Pandu was a very gentle person and soon became very fond of Rikto. So when Rikto asked him where he was going, Pandu said that he was going to the swayamvar of Princess Kunti of Kuntibhoja kingdom. Rikto felt bad and asked him if he was a prince of Hastinapur, to which he replied yes.

Rikto is now very confused. At first, he thought he was in some ancient kingdom, although people here were very powerful, like his father one day fought ten people and still won. He thought his father was very strong and his life was safe. But after learning that he was in the epic of Mahabharata, he became very insecure. Although his father is very strong, their kingdom doesn't have a nuclear weapon like Bhishma. Hell, he feels that even Pandu could flatten his kingdom if he wants to.

Initially, Rikto thought that with the help of his powerful father and unbeatable royal army, he could safely take out some technology from the multiversal library and vigorously develop his country's economy, living his life like a prodigal son of a landlord's family. But now he is afraid that if he lives his life like a prodigal, some bad-tempered sage would curse him and make his life miserable. Everyone knows why Karna died. Did anybody really think that Arjuna could kill him so easily? Karna was literally cursed to death.

Rikto thought he had wasted three precious years of his life by playing. He should have found a teacher and learned about war arts when he was able to walk. Well, jokes apart, he just remembered that Magadha's King Jarasandha seemed to have captured 100 kings for some kind of sacrifice in the future. Although he wasn't able to do it and the 100 captured kings were freed, what would happen if he came to capture Rikto's father and kill his mother? And then there is still the legendary Kurukshetra War.

Well, he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. He thought he should have gone to heaven; his life is too hard. He doesn't want to think anymore; he is still young and needs to grow , so he should take care of his mental health.
