The Love I Never Expected

Raj Bansal, a 24-year-old student in Delhi, dies unexpectedly in a tragic accident. Instead of fading into oblivion, he's given a second chance by a mysterious entity, who offers him an opportunity to live again—but only if he completes a dangerous mission. Transported to a new world, Raj is tasked with choosing powers through a CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) system and must confront a major threat to the world while making a fundamental change. Raj must navigate unfamiliar terrain, battle powerful enemies, and alter the course of a world filled with conspiracies and danger. The stakes are high: if he succeeds, he returns home to his family; if he fails, he’s lost forever. Armed with only his wits and the powers he selects, Raj must rise to the challenge and ensure his survival while fulfilling the mission—and unlocking a future he never thought possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------Disclaimer: This is just a work of fiction!
