THE PROTAGONIST—
Name: Aarav → Agnivesh
Aarav is the present incarnation of Agnivesh, a legendary ancient sage who sealed the Great Realm Break using his own life force, name, and karma.
Reborn in a futuristic world, he remembers fragments of his past life and is now reclaiming lost Indian cultivation techniques.
His body hosts the First Flame — a divine spark bound to the world's balance.

CULTIVATION IN THIS WORLD—
Unlike swords and pills, this cultivation path draws from:
1. Mudras (Sacred Hand Gestures)
Symbolic hand seals that channel mental and elemental energy. Examples:
Abhaya Mudra – Gesture of fearlessness
Dhyana Mudra – Meditation seal
Kali Mudra – Awakens inner fire and destruction force
2. Mantras (Sanskrit Chants)
Vibrational codes that affect memory, spirit, or reality. Each mantra is tied to a Guardian or Flame.
3. Flames of Remembrance
Seven divine flames sealed across the planet. Each flame unlocks a Guardian and a piece of forgotten power.
4. Astitva Sutras (Laws of Existence)
Threads of ancient spiritual code used to bind Guardians, stop time, or seal powers. Agnivesh once used these to bind his own allies.

THE GUARDIANS—
There are Seven Guardians, each one bonded to a Flame. They are not followers—they are keepers of truth, souls who refused to pass on due to unfinished karma.
They awaken only when remembered by the one they once served.
Known Guardians:
1. Aranya Devi – First Guardian
Title: Guardian of Silence
Power: Controls forest-based time stasis, binds beings through memory
Status: Awakened
Relationship: Loyal but regrets her past failure
2. Vritra Devi – Second Guardian
Title: The Stone Flame
Power: Motionless meditation, control over stone and ancient timelines
Status: Awakened
Relationship: Sister of Agnivesh in past life, harbors old pain
3. The Death Guardian (Name Unknown)
Title: Keeper of Last Breath
Power: Controls the flow of death itself
Status: Hidden in a place where death has been banned
Remaining Guardians:
Each one represents an element of forgotten dharma — Dream, Betrayal, Fire, Shadow, and Karma.

READER QUESTIONS (FAQ-Style)—
Q: Why is ancient India at the center of this futuristic world?
→ Because it is not just a setting—it's the origin of forgotten cosmic law. What others called myth, was truth left behind.
Q: Why is Aarav's power seen as weird or outdated?
→ The future worships machines. Agnivesh worships the soul. Their science no longer understands memory-based cultivation.
Q: Are Guardians immortal?
→ No. They are souls who delayed rebirth to guard the truth. Once their duty ends, they will pass on.

HIDDEN THEMES (Without Spoilers)—
Memory vs. Code—
> Which is more powerful? A soul that remembers or a system that forgets?
Flame as Responsibility—
> Each flame is not just a weapon—but a burden, a truth, a pain you must carry.
Reincarnation Is Not Reset—
> In this world, rebirth brings echoes—of past lovers, old enemies, and mistakes still unpaid.

FROM THE AUTHOR—
Dear reader,

May the Flame guide you.
