As the final breath left his body under the ancient banyan tree, Aarav's soul rose gently into the endless sky, weightless, free.
No pain. No regret. Only fulfillment.
Through a mist of golden light, he drifted between worlds — and then, a voice both ancient and young echoed all around him:
> [SYSTEM NOTICE]
First Reincarnation Completed.
---
A shimmering river of memories flowed before his eyes—
The crumbling walls of Mohenjo-Daro,
The endless rains that swallowed the world,
The hard journey through flooded lands,
The rebirth of civilization in Indraprastha,
The love, the struggle, the laughter, the tears.
And then came the final judgment, not from some distant deity, but from the tapestry of destiny itself:
> Summary:
You saved your civilization from destruction.
You preserved ancient knowledge.
You sowed the seeds of a stronger future by spreading your enhanced bloodline across generations.
The golden mist wrapped tighter around him, warm and welcoming.
Then the voice continued:
> Permanent Talent Chosen:
— Perfect Body (Gold): Your body shall always be free of disease, stronger, healthier, and more magnificent than ordinary men in every lifetime to come.
> This trait shall now be forever part of your soul.

Another ripple of light crossed his vision. A shimmering screen appeared, as clear as a polished mirror:
> [Character Panel]
Name: Gautam
Reincarnation 1 Name: Aarav
Permanent Talent: Perfect Body (Gold)
Gautam—his true self—felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
A journey completed.
A foundation laid.
A destiny shaped by his own hands.
But he knew this was only the beginning.
Beyond the golden mist, new lands awaited.
New eras, new civilizations, new dreams to carve into the bedrock of history.
With calm determination, Gautam stepped forward into the light, ready for his next life.
The cycle of reincarnation had only just begun.
