Chapter 27: Raja Rudra and the Path to Magic
Raja Rudra took a deep breath as he arrived in a new world, one he had specifically chosen. This world was magical in every sense of the word, and he was here to unlock his potential and learn the art of magic. A brief, gleaming flash appeared in his mind as his guide, Maya, brought up his status window.

In this life, Raja was reborn as an orphaned Indian boy, residing in a cozy, though often quiet, orphanage nestled in the heart of London. He quickly assessed his surroundings: the furniture was simple and the toys limited, but Raja felt an intense thrill. This time around, he would take control of his destiny.
A Star in the Orphanage
Even at two years old, Raja was far from an ordinary child. While other toddlers were busy trying to string together sentences, Raja had already taken to reading children's books, surprising the orphanage staff with his grasp of English. Mrs. Henshaw, the fifty-year-old head of the orphanage, took notice of his incredible intellect. A sweet yet practical woman, she watched Raja with both curiosity and pride. His daily actions never ceased to amaze her; he recited poems, discussed complex ideas, and even managed to pick up an abandoned flute, playing notes that resonated through the orphanage hallways.
"This boy's sharp as a blade, he is," she'd often murmur to herself, tapping her spectacles thoughtfully. "Such brilliance shouldn't be wasted. He deserves a family who'll give him the world."
Raja would often overhear her musings, and though he was grateful for her care, he knew he was capable of building his own path.
The Rise of Raja Rudra - Age Three
By the time Raja turned three, he had become the heart and soul of the orphanage. He entered every talent competition he could, from spelling bees to storytelling contests, earning modest prize money that he insisted go to the orphanage. He performed songs on his flute with a depth beyond his years, capturing the attention of locals and making Mrs. Henshaw both proud and astounded. Raja's feats began to draw attention beyond the orphanage, and word of his talents spread far and wide.
One chilly autumn morning, a well-dressed couple entered the orphanage: Edward and Clara Powers. They had heard about the gifted boy and had come with hopes of adopting a child. Raja met them with a calm composure that was unusual for someone his age.
Edward, a distinguished businessman in his late forties, looked down at Raja with an appraising gaze. He cleared his throat and introduced himself. "Hello, young man. I'm Edward, and this is my wife, Clara. We're here to get to know you a bit."
Raja's gaze sharpened with interest, a small smirk playing on his lips. "Well then, Mr. and Mrs. Powers," he began with a slight tilt of his head, "what makes you think you're suitable to adopt me?"
Clara stifled a laugh, exchanging an amused glance with her husband. Edward, who rarely found himself on the receiving end of an interview, chuckled and indulged the young prodigy.
"I'd like to think of myself as a hardworking man, young Raja. I believe in nurturing talent, and I'd ensure you receive the best education and opportunities," Edward replied smoothly.
Clara nodded in agreement, smiling warmly. "I'd make sure you feel loved and supported, Raja. We'd give you a home that feels like it's truly yours."
Raja nodded, his expression thoughtful. "I see. But I have one condition."
Edward's eyebrow arched in surprise. "Oh? And what might that be?"
Raja raised his chin, a fierce determination in his eyes. "You must donate to the orphanage and ensure that the funds are used properly. I refuse to be part of any form of corruption."
The Powers were taken aback by Raja's seriousness. Edward laughed heartily, impressed. "Done. That's a fair request, young man."
Clara grinned and gently patted his shoulder. "You're quite a character, Raja. I think we're going to be very happy together."
Life with the Powers
The Powers family's estate was magnificent, a sprawling mansion on the outskirts of London, complete with lush gardens and a view of the Thames. Raja quickly settled into his new home, and although he appreciated the luxuries surrounding him, he was far more interested in his new grandmother, Mrs. Powers, an elegant woman in her fifties with a sharp mind and a lively circle of friends.
From day one, Raja had charmed Mrs. Powers with his talents and quick wit. He would play his flute for her during afternoon tea, occasionally mixing in short poems he had written, or he'd dance to cheer her up on rainy days. Mrs. Powers adored him, and she loved showing him off at gatherings with her friends. Raja became a little celebrity in the circle, performing songs, demonstrating his impeccable knowledge of world events, and even delivering mini-lectures on topics that left everyone in stitches.
"My dear," Mrs. Powers would say proudly to her friends, "this young one could very well grow up to be prime minister one day." Her friends would nod, clearly impressed by the budding prodigy.
A Rising Scholar
In the years that followed, Raja wasted no time accelerating his education. By the age of ten, he had completed schooling, obtained degrees in MBA, Law, and Politics, and even entered the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest child to achieve such distinctions. When reporters swarmed to interview him, they asked eagerly about his plans for the future.
"Oh, I'll do a world tour and immerse myself in different cultures," Raja answered with an amused smile. "Once I've had my fill, maybe I'll pursue law or politics."
The Powers family's business, with Raja's strategic mind at the helm, soared in influence. Edward, increasingly relying on Raja's advice, often found himself amazed at his young son's sharp insights. Under Raja's guidance, they engaged in various philanthropic projects, focusing on education and healthcare, especially in India. Raja spent his free time not only assisting with business plans but also enjoying lighthearted moments with his adoptive family.
He and his mother, Clara, would often engage in amusing chess matches where he'd dramatically feign defeat before delivering a surprise checkmate, sending her into bouts of laughter. With his grandmother, he continued to be her favorite performer, adding piano and guitar to his repertoire of instruments.
The Spark of Magic - Age Five
On his fifth birthday, Raja sensed a subtle but profound shift within himself. He noticed a blue and gold spark appearing faintly at his fingertips one morning while he was practicing piano, and he immediately felt a rush of energy flood his senses.
"Magic riot detected," Maya's voice echoed in his mind.
Raja froze, excitement tingling through his veins. This was it—the first sign of magic. With Maya's guidance, he activated a hidden section in his personal dimension, a space that looked like a futuristic mansion floating in the stars. His mechanical butler, Potential Man, greeted him with a silver vial, labeled "CPH4 V.20."
"Take the drug, Raja," Maya's voice instructed, "It will unlock 25% of your brain without damaging your body, giving you telepathy, psychokinesis, and enhanced perception."
Raja nodded, bracing himself as he drank the concoction. Within moments, his consciousness expanded, his mind igniting with power. He could feel the thoughts of others like faint whispers and sense the smallest fluctuations in the room. He knew that with this newfound control, he was ready to take on anything.
Three hours later, Raja opened his eyes, his powers fully integrated and under control. He felt stronger, sharper, and even more prepared for the challenges to come. His secret powers were safely concealed—for now.

An Accidental Revelation
Life continued smoothly until one winter afternoon when Raja's grandmother stumbled on the staircase. Time seemed to slow as she began to fall, but with a single thought, Raja extended his arm, halting her mid-air. She looked at him, eyes wide with astonishment, as he carefully guided her back to her feet.
Mrs. Powers stared at him for a long moment, her shock melting into a warm, approving smile. She laughed softly, her eyes gleaming with pride. "You truly are something special, my dear boy."
Raja blushed, mumbling, "It was…nothing, really."
"Oh, don't you worry, my boy," she said, patting his shoulder. "I know magic when I see it. But your secret is safe with me."
The next day, she approached him with a mysterious gleam in her eye. "Come with me, Raja. There's someone I want you to meet, someone who can help you understand your gifts."
Raja's curiosity was piqued, but he nodded, trusting her fully. With his powers newly unlocked and a future more promising than ever, he knew he was only at the beginning of a journey that would shape his destiny in unimaginable ways.
