Chapter 15: Aghor Garbh – Shraap Aur Pariksha
Raat abhi poori tarah khatam nahi hui thi।
Kaalnagar ke jungle ke kinaare khada Pankaj kuch pal tak chup raha। Uski saansein dheere-dheere normal ho rahi thi, lekin uska dimag abhi bhi usi pal me atka tha—
wo bhaari presence…
wo budha aadmi…
aur uski aankhen।
“Purana clan leader…” usne dheere se khud se kaha।
Bhairav jaise aadmi ka darr uske chehre par pehli baar dikha tha। Ye baat hi sab kuch bata rahi thi।
“Matlab… asli dushman abhi tak samne aaya hi nahi…”
Usne apni muthi kas li।
“Achha hai…”
Uski aankhon me ek naya junoon jag gaya।
“Tabhi to game interesting hoga…”
Tabhi uske saamne wahi blue screen dobara chamki।

Pankaj ne screen ko dekha।
“Trial…” usne dheere se kaha।
“Seedha nahi milne wala…”
Screen blink hui।

Pankaj ne jungle ki taraf dekha।
Andhera ghana tha।
Jaise wo use andar bula raha ho।
“Chalo…” usne seedha kaha।
Aur bina kisi hesitation ke—
wo jungle ke andar chala gaya।
Jungle andar se bilkul alag tha।
Yahan hawa bhi thandi nahi, balki bhaari lag rahi thi।
Har ped tedha-medha, jaise kisi ne use zor se mod diya ho।
Zameen par ajeeb nishaan the—jaise bade janwaron ke panje।
Aur sabse ajeeb baat—
khamoshi।
Koi awaaz nahi।
Na pankh ki, na patton ki।
Pankaj dheere-dheere aage badh raha tha।
Uski aankhen har direction me chal rahi thi।
Uska instinct keh raha tha—
“Yahan sab kuch zinda hai…”
Kuch door jaane ke baad—
achanak bushes hile।
Ek bada sa janwar bahar aaya।
Uski aankhen laal thi, sharir kala, aur daant itne bade ki wo aasani se kisi aadmi ko do tukdo me tod sakta tha।
Pankaj ruk gaya।
Usne seedha us janwar ki aankhon me dekha।
Janwar ne zor se garjana ki।
Agla pal—
wo seedha Pankaj par jhapta।
Pankaj side hua।
Janwar zameen par gira—
lekin turant wapas mud gaya।
Is baar uski speed aur tez thi।
Pankaj ne chain nikali।
Janwar ka attack aaya—
aur chain uske gale me lapet gayi।
Ek jhatka—
janwar hawa me uchhal gaya।
Lekin ye aam janwar nahi tha।
Wo turant khada ho gaya।
Usne apne daant dikhaye—
aur phir se attack kiya।
Is baar fight thodi lambi chali।
Janwar strong tha।
Uske attacks raw power se bhare hue the।
Lekin Pankaj ab pehle jaisa nahi tha।
Usne har move ko calculate kiya।
Ek opening mili—
aur usne chain seedha us janwar ke gale me kas di।
Kuch seconds ke struggle ke baad—
janwar gir gaya।
Shaant।

+50 EXP
Pankaj ne gehri saans li।
“Bas shuruaat hai…” usne kaha।
Wo aage badhta gaya।
Har kuch door par naye creatures milte—
koi zehreela, koi fast, koi invisible hone wala।
Har fight use thoda aur push karti।
Har jeet use thoda aur strong banati।
Do din beet gaye।
Pankaj ka sharir thak chuka tha।
Kapde phat chuke the।
Zakhm bhare bhi the, aur naye bhi bane the।
Lekin uski aankhen…
aur tez ho gayi thi।
Teesre din—
use ek alag jagah mili।
Jungle ke beech ek bada khula area।
Beech me ek purana pathar ka dwar khada tha।
Us par ajeeb se nishaan bane the।
Jaise kisi purani bhasha me likha ho।
Pankaj dheere se uske paas gaya।
Jaise hi wo paas aaya—
dwar se ek halki si roshni nikli।
Zameen hilne lagi।
Aur dwar ke saamne—
ek aadmi ubhar kar khada ho gaya।
Wo aadmi normal nahi tha।
Uska sharir aadha dhund jaisa tha।
Aankhen gehri kaali।
Aur uske aas-paas ek ajeeb si energy ghoom rahi thi।
“Rakshak…” Pankaj ne dheere se kaha।
Aadmi ne seedha uski taraf dekha।
“Jo andar jana chahta hai…” uski awaaz gunji,
“use apni aukaat dikhani hogi…”
Pankaj ne seedha jawab diya—
“Fight?”
Rakshak ne halka sa muskuraaya—
“Ya… samajh…”
Ek pal ke liye khamoshi।
Phir—
Rakshak ne haath uthaya।
Pankaj ke aas-paas ka environment badal gaya।
Wo ab jungle me nahi tha।
Wo ek purane battlefield me khada tha।
Charo taraf laashein।
Khoon।
Aur aag।
Door—
wo budha aadmi khada tha।
Wahi purana clan leader।
“Ye…” Pankaj ne dheere se kaha।
Rakshak ki awaaz aayi—
“Ye tumhara trial hai…”
“Ya to ise harao…”
“Ya samjho…”
Budha aadmi dheere-dheere uski taraf badha।
Har kadam ke saath zameen hil rahi thi।
Pankaj ne chain kas li।
Fight shuru hui।
Lekin ye normal fight nahi thi।
Har baar jab Pankaj attack karta—
budha aadmi usse aasani se rok deta।
Jaise wo usse pehle hi dekh raha ho।
Ek vaar—
Pankaj hawa me uda।
Dusra vaar—
wo zameen par ghutno par aa gaya।
Kuch hi seconds me—
wo samajh gaya।
“Ye real nahi hai…” usne dheere se kaha।
Usne attack karna band kar diya।
Budha aadmi uske saamne ruk gaya।
“Samajh gaya…” Pankaj ne aankhen utha kar kaha।
“Power sirf taqat nahi hoti…”
“Wo samajh hoti hai…”
Jaise hi usne ye kaha—
sab kuch toot gaya।
Wo wapas dwar ke saamne tha।
Rakshak uske saamne khada tha।
Is baar—
uske chehre par halki si smile thi।
“Tum pass ho gaye…” usne kaha।
Dwar dheere-dheere khulne laga।
Andar se ek gehra andhera bahar aaya।

New Zone Unlocked: Aghor Garbh
Pankaj ne andar dekha।
Andhera itna gehra tha ki roshni bhi usme gayab ho rahi thi।
Usne bina soche ek kadam aage badhaya।
Jaise hi wo andar gaya—
uska sharir halka sa hil gaya।
Energy…
bahut zyada energy।
Uski aankhon me laal chamak phir se ubhar aayi।
“Yahi hai…” usne dheere se kaha।
“Evolution…”
Andhere me kahin door—
kuch hil raha tha।
Kuch aur bada।
Kuch aur khatarnak।
Pankaj muskuraaya।
“Chalo… dekhte hain…”
Aur wo andhere me aage badh gaya।
