#Thanks for giving this a try. Hope you enjoy it.#Chakras are various focal points inside our bodies that have a tendency to circulate and assimilate life-force. For humans to become proficient in any chakra point in the body is only possible by the process called 'Chakra saturation'. Chakra Saturation is achieved by stacking, and refining of the chakra-saturation points beyond the observed threshold.To be completely proficient in any Chakra, humans need to saturate or consume the chakra saturation points beyond an observed threshold. With enough consumption, the human body completely adapts to the chakra flow and becomes a constant reservoir of life-force and provides its full benefits to the human body.There are 7 Chakras in the human body. Humans can open each Chakra by consuming an observed amount 'chakra saturation points'. Each chakra point has its own benefits, requirements and elemental affinity associated with itself.»»1.&

Back drenched with sweat and heart pounding like a blacksmith’s hammer. In a faraway place, inside a dark passage painted with the smell of blood and feces, a 16-year-old paled-skin youth was staggering while carrying a flashlight in his hand. Each step he took made him feel he was just one step away from imminent death.Chills were dancing across his spine, but he could not back off. He needed to make it through this place. The walls of the tunnel-like passage were releasing dry fumes. His skin was itchy and his mind was getting a trace of high. A realization loomed over, reminding him that the situation has turned more deadly.His throat was drying like a desert while his skin felt a biting sensation. He had a sling bag on his back from which he dug out a little more than a half-filled water bottle, pulled the cap out, and took a sip. After quenching his thirst and recognizing the corrosive nature of the fumes, he picked up his pace.After walking around

~In a garden with a sweet scent of roses and a bright sun, a little girl was chasing a tiny white rabbit playfully. She kept running around a fountain to get closer to the rabbit, but the fluffy bunny was always a way ahead of her. No matter how hard she ran, she failed to catch the creature every time. Seeing that her effort was for naught, she sat down on the grass with teary eyes. She was about to cry, but then a taller boy came close to her and patted her head with a smile.~Argh..."My head hurts!" Creed was still groggy from his 10-hours of sleep. "These pills are a crucial lifesaver, but the headache is a pain in the ass!""And why do I keep seeing this dream? Every time I go to deep-sleep, those two just pop up in my mind."  "Do I know them from somewhere, childhood friends maybe? mhm, I don't think so! I have to ask mom about this, maybe she knows something about this  weird dream!""Crap! the egg!" Creed

A specie whose curiosity knew no bounds. They yearned for knowledge and secrets that the universe had to offer. They called themselves 'Humans'.For a very long time, they found no trace of life. So they believed they were alone in the universe. Carrying an unbound curiosity for their existence, they continue to grow into more capable beings and kept exploring further in the so-called "Local group" of galaxies.A Paradox termed as the 'Fermi Paradox' was introduced which stated conflict between the argument that the probability seems to favor intelligent life being common in the universe, but strangely there was a total lack of evidence of intelligent beings having ever arisen anywhere other than on their planet.Humans concluded two possibilities. First, that there were no intelligent species anywhere in the universe. Humans got lucky, so they evolved until this point and will continue to evolve further.The second possibility was a bit scar

Creed was lost in thoughts, sitting on the chair while gazing at the golden egg. It was too late until he felt a strange sensation in his body; The temperature dropped by several degrees and his breathing became grim.It felt as if he was underwater inside freezing water. Though his consciousness was still with him, he felt as if he was drowning. Stuff inside his room looked blurry but still noticeable.Things quickly became spooky when he looked at the golden egg again.The egg had gained its golden glow back and was shining like a star and hovering in the air. This made him remember the scene in the elder's tablet with the crucified snake-women."Is this finally the end? Is this egg going to eat me just as it tried with that snake-lady?" Creed had a gloomy look on his face."Ah shit... why can't I just catch a break?"He could see that the egg was shining, but that was just it. He didn't get any painful feeling or energy drain either. Thou

After receiving the recording of a lecture on his cloud account drive from Jake, he took a 2 days' suspension from the Glitch to go home by providing the reason as "An urgent issue regarding family".Normally, the cadets could not go outside the Glitches to their home until they complete their training and opened the released from the one-year training program. But for genuine reasons and with proof, it was possible to take leave for urgent situations.After teleporting back to his local station at his home planet 'Zerg', he took a ride back home to meet his mom and little sister. He reached home in 10 minutes because of efficient teleportation.The condition of his home not very good. It was a normal two-story building, but the traces of an ongoing financial crisis and a lack of maintenances was fairly visible.He opened the door and saw his mother sleeping. A faint sign of overwork was fairly visible on her face, along with obvious black circles. His mo

After getting the money in his account, Creed let out a sigh. Never, he would have thought things would end up like this. The world of glitches was still unknown, so the military entertained the responsibility to nurture the soldiers and help them develop their instincts.Every three months, there was a refill of cadets' gear stock. The military gave the cadets some selected resources essential for their survival, and the next month was the end of a quarter so he had planned to return the beta-pill back to Jake next month.Creed wanted to return the pill back since he didn't like to be under anyone's debt. He knew if he couldn't show a spare beta-pill to Jake, he would never take his own beta-pill back. And if Creed tried to be stubborn about it, in return Jake will pound him even more.That was the kind of guy Jake was, even though he was playful. But he was undeniably strong and difficult to fool.While thinking about how he will manage thi

The wooden box cracked and Creed finally got a good look at what was inside. The gray crystals were nowhere to be found and four muddy eggs were still expanding till they reached the size of double the box.Creed was dumbfounded with this discovery as it was neither observed in actuality nor stated in any research paper, that crystal could ever change into eggs of a beast."What the hell happened here?" He slowly inched closer to the eggs.After getting closer to the eggs, he touched one and felt a faint pulse from inside the egg, baffled by this he started touching all of them one by one and found out that every egg had different sizes but all of them were alive.He had heard that the all beasts in glitches breed in unique environments and unfamiliar places so and the conditions for the birth of a beast were very complex and mysterious.They had many theories, but most of them suggested that they come from their own beast nests, which hid in the d

"How's your sister these days?" Jake asked while sipping some juice. "Has she made recovery?""Yeah, the doctor said that she has made substantial progress," Creed smiled at him. " but they still need to keep her under observation for some tests and leftover therapy.""So that's why you keep smiling!" Jake responded honestly. "Well, I am thrilled for you, man!""Yeah... things are a little better now," Joy was apparent on Creed's face. "For me and mom too!" "So ... Have you decided which team will you choose for the upcoming 'Joint Expedition Training'?" Creed changed the topic quickly, " It's due next month, and registrations have already begun... I know you are good but don't delay your options!""Dude I am not delaying my options... I am considering them! I will pick a team soon, although I have already have had an eye on one"Jake made it sound like he had already planned it through "I don't want to be hasty and choose the wrong te

"Grisha, I have finally selected the 10 people you asked for," Alia handed the documents to Grisha. "So far, these are the most suitable candidates, who can be appointed as the leaders of the squads for the upcoming JETs.""That was fast! You sure about these people?"  Grisha said as she glanced at the papers. " Because some of them look like cannon fodders to me ...""We really can't do anything about that, this year's recruits are all the weakest of the bunch," Alia replied with confusion. "Although we have talented ones too, some of them didn't even apply for the position of squad leader. So these are the best, from the ones who registered!""Jake, Vick, Tanya, Rahul, Huang... I see none of these names on the list, what is going on?" Grisha was confused too."I told you just now. Many talented cadets of this year have backed off from the squad leader position." Alia tried to clarify with a hypothesis, " They are not interested in being the leaders
