In a realm where power is gauged by chakras—those mystical gates that transcend human limitations—a boy named Nayra awakens to a new existence, his mind haunted by the memories of two violent deaths. The first time, he was Aryan—a mere nobody on Earth, crushed under the weight of destiny. The second time, he lived as Nayra—a slave, a mere plaything, a man who fought tooth and nail for power, only to be struck down by the very gods he sought to defy. But death isn’t the final chapter. With a stolen artifact, the Sudarshana Chakra, time rewinds, thrusting him back into the body of a child, memories fully intact. The world moves on. The gods forget. But Nayra? He remembers. This time, he refuses to be weak. He won’t show kindness. He’ll don innocence like a clever disguise, manipulating kings and assassins alike, turning rival factions to dust with nothing but his words and a well-timed tear. Let them mock the "helpless" boy—until the moment he etches his revenge into their very bones. Yet, the gods aren’t his only pursuers. Something ancient lurks in the shadows, its whispers creeping into his dreams: "You do not belong here." Nayra grins. Let them come. He’s already faced death twice. He won’t let it claim him a third time. ["The first time Nayra died, he was afraid. The second time, he was angry. This time? He’s learned how to make the world scream instead."]

After a wave of reports about animal attacks, disappearances, and the brutal murders of hikers in Arklay Forest, the S.T.A.R.S. Division launched an investigation. This operation would later be referred to as the Spencer Mansion incident, which occurred in the Arklay Mountains in late July 1998. The events that followed caused fear in Raccoon City to reach new heights. In the weeks after, the S.T.A.R.S. Division was disbanded while looking into Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, which was under scrutiny for allegedly conducting illegal experiments involving zombies and other creatures. Reports of missing tourists and residents added to the already tense atmosphere. Rumors of corruption, bribery, and even more serious crimes began to spread throughout the city. In response, the Raccoon Police Department set up a new SWAT unit, mostly made up of inexperienced officers, with only a few veterans to fill the gap left by the S.T.A.R.S. Division. To make matters worse, a fugitive known as the 'Arklay Butcher' escaped during a transfer and remains at large. In the midst of all this chaos, Raccoon City continued to experience strange incidents, hinting at deeper mysteries and chilling stories from survivors caught in this nightmare.

The weak are devoured, the strong become prey to something worse. Here, to exist is to struggle against the inevitable. But when an ancient, half-broken throne calls his name, and a power unlike any other stirs beneath his skin, the truth becomes clear— This world has not forgotten him. It has been waiting. But so have they. And they do not intend to let him rise.

But in the shadows, he sharpens his mind, strengthens his body, and forms his ultimate goal. Berk will fall. When the time is right, he will tear everything they love apart. He will make them understand what it means to be powerless, to suffer, to despair.
