Divine System: Krishna's Return

**When gods fall, they forget who they are.** Krishna was the Supreme God—the eternal source, the cosmic dancer, the one who held infinity in his palm. For ten thousand years, he ruled the divine realm alongside Radha, his eternal beloved, their love so profound it was woven into the fabric of existence itself. Where there was Krishna, there was Radha. Where there was Radha, there was Krishna. This was not poetry. This was cosmic law. But when darkness began consuming the mortal world—a corruption so deep it threatened to unravel creation itself—Krishna made an impossible choice. He would descend. Alone. To move undetected through the corruption, to heal it from within, he sealed away everything that made him divine: his reality-bending powers, his eons of cosmic knowledge, his memories of eternity. Even his memory of *her*. Radha begged him not to go. Threatened him. Promised to follow. But Krishna descended anyway, his consciousness fragmenting as his divine form collapsed into mortal flesh, his last thought a desperate apology to the woman he was forgetting. The Supreme God died. And fifteen years later, Krishna was born in his place. *** **Now he's just a fifteen-year-old high school student in Mumbai.** Krishna is unremarkable in every way that matters to the mortal world. Average grades. Average looks. Average life. His greatest accomplishments are finishing webnovels in single sittings and nearly perfecting the art of sleeping through history class. But he dreams. Every night, he dreams of battles he's never fought, of wisdom he's never learned, of a woman with eyes like eternity who weeps for something—*someone*—she's lost. He wakes with his heart broken and can never remember why. Then, on an ordinary afternoon in an ordinary classroom, everything changes. A presence blooms in his mind. Golden. Absolute. Undeniable. **[SYSTEM: AWAKENING.]** The Divine Guidance Karma System activates, offering him powers tied to a character template of his choosing. Any hero, any legend, any mythological figure—their abilities can be his. And Krishna, bearing the name he's carried his whole life without understanding its weight, makes the only choice that feels like destiny. He chooses *himself*. The god he doesn't remember being. With each task the System presents, fragments of his sealed divinity return. Enhanced strength that makes him faster than humanly possible. Supernatural perception that lets him see truth through lies. An inexplicable compulsion to help those in need, to protect the weak, to stand against darkness wherever it festers. But the more power he gains, the stranger things become. Shadows move wrong in corners. People's eyes sometimes flash with something ancient and hungry. The world has secrets, and they're starting to notice him noticing them. Krishna thinks he's becoming a hero. He has no idea he's remembering one. *** **Then she arrives.** Radha walks into his classroom on a Monday morning, and the universe holds its breath. She's beautiful—impossibly, dangerously, *cosmically* beautiful in a way that makes his classmates stare and his teachers stutter. But that's not what makes Krishna's heart stop. It's the recognition. Not in his mind—his memories are still locked away, his divine consciousness still sealed. But his *soul* remembers. Every cell in his body screams that he knows her, that she's important, that she's *everything*. He looks at her and feels something shatter and reconstruct itself in the same breath, like his heart is trying to remember how to beat in a rhythm it forgot fifteen years ago. For one impossible moment, their eyes meet. Krishna sees eternity in her gaze. Sees ten thousand years of love, of promises, of a bond that transcends mortality itself. Then he sees fury. Because Radha remembers *everything*. Read Prologue For More .

The Chronicles of Daemon Kyn

In a different reality then our own, on a earth that has a similar timeline yet more ... bloody shall we say currently resides a truly unfortunate soul who has a destiny he is unaware of but is pivotal to events in ways no one knows or would ever want to be if given a choice...... 11pm, Friday, October 13th, 2007, New York, United States - "If it was possible to be karma's personal chew toy & punching bag as a 24/7 job then you might as well have my picture right next to the job description with a employee of the month plaque" Is the primary thought David or better known as DJ had as he was once again was bounced off the walls of the alley by wannabe gang bangers from the neighborhood he lived with this being a constant for the past 3 years when he missed paying the 'protection fees' on time to keep his Grandpa's apartment safe from unfortunate accidents but unbeknownst to him & the poor souls beating on him that tonight wasn't going to be something any of them were ever going to forget maybe even live thru as a blood curdling scream or screech echoes from deeper in the alley. Turning towards the darker part of the alley where the sound came from the beating stopped as all those present saw something straight out of nightmares slowly lean out of the darkness, a flesh stripped face with four large unblinking eyes better suited on a insect then something approaching human, a long mishappen arm that ending in a clawed hand covered in blood pinning something beneath it with both being connected to a body still hidden but clearly just as ripped apart as it's face judging from it's shoulder & neck. While others where shocked & not believing what they were looking at DJ broke out into a cold sweat slowly getting up knowing as much as he wishes he was just having a nightmare this was reality with it becoming worst as he heard behind him the sound of something metallic scrapping brick looking behind to see another leering at all of them from the mouth of the alley more exposed then the first with a arm dangling & still twitching in the night air.....
