Many years of rigorous training, self-discovery, divine enlightenment, and war-craft had shaped Rudra into not just a warrior, but a visionary—one destined to reshape the course of Aryavrat. Now seated on the jeweled throne of Mahishmati, with the weight of a nation on his shoulders, Rudra began his true journey—not as a disciple or a wandering Sage, but as a king.
But this was no ordinary coronation aftermath. No, Rudra had returned with knowledge no ordinary king could wield. With his Cosmic Architect ability—an ability that defied reality itself—he began reconstructing Mahishmati from its very roots.

The Kingdom Reborn
Within mere days, the kingdom's dusty roads transformed into matte Golden-Black pathways lined with trees that never shed leaves and lamps that never ran out of oil. Every house—whether in the heart of the royal city or at the far end of a rural village—was remade.
The homes now featured automatic light and temperature regulation, responding to the emotional and physical needs of their inhabitants. More astonishingly, each house was spatially enchanted: the inner space was twice as large as the outer structure. Even the smallest hut could now hold a family banquet or accommodate a visiting noble comfortably.
The Royal Palace stood at the center of this reborn capital, a majestic citadel glowing under the sun and moon alike. But Rudra didn't stop there. He raised 100-meter-high indestructible city walls infused with Prana Urja that emitted unlimited energy-based arrow barrages upon threat detection—an impregnable fortress against any invasion.
But it was what stood behind the gates that stole the breath of every traveler and citizen.

Veerbhadra's Statue
Carved from mantra-enforced celestial metal, a mountain-sized statue of Veerbhadra sat at the heart of the capital, in deep meditation, sword laid across his lap. Its very presence invoked reverence, fear, and hope.
Only Rudra knew the statue's truth.
This will become the fear of Adharma in the future.
It was a god-sent defense—hidden in plain sight.

Shiksha Mandirs and Karmapeeth
Rudra's next reform shook even the learned sages of Aryavrat. In every village, in every corner of Mahishmati, he established Shiksha Mandirs, where children from age 3 to 10 would study while living with their families. Here, character, dharma, and curiosity would be nurtured equally.
At age 10, every child would be summoned to the capital—to enter the heart of Mahishmati's future: the Karmapeeth.
The Karmapeeth was not just a Gurukul. It was a universe of knowledge, as large and as intricate as the Royal Palace itself. Inside, enchanted architecture allowed thousands of students and teachers to coexist without ever feeling crowded. The air buzzed with mantras, ideas, sparring, and peace.
Rudra created 1,000 clay humans from the sacred earth near the Saraswati River. He infused each with life and transferred basic knowledge from his vast ocean of wisdom. Though to him it was basic, to the world it was enough for a lifetime of mastery. These 1000 Divine Gurus would become the Karmapeeth's pillars.
Each of the 1000 gurus will train 10 people for 6 month to take over the Siksha Mandir
At the entrance stood the Karma Mani—a glowing orb floating atop a lotus pedestal. Every new student had to place their palm upon it. The orb would shimmer and reveal the top five fields they were innately gifted in, so they could pursue the path aligned to their karma and dharma.

System Gifts
When Rudra taught his first full class of students Karna , Eklavya and Ishita, the system responded.
[Ding! Your Karma increses by 10000 times and rewarded with title: Supreme Teacher.]
> Supreme Teacher:
Your students comprehend instantly.
Their potential increases daily under your guidance.
Comprehension level of every student in your kingdom is permanently increased.
Not long after, when he wore the crown and sat upon the throne of Mahishmati, another chime echoed in the void:
[Ding! Your Dharma increses by 10000 times rewarding you with the title: Supreme Ruler.]
> Supreme Ruler:
The kingdom will always prosper.
Royal Treasury doubles compoundly each month.
Resources in land become unlimited.
All rules you make are divine law within your kingdom.
Loyalty of all citizens is permanently fixed at 80+.
Qualification level of all inhabitants increases by 1 tier.
All soldiers who die in battle can be resurrected at the Resurrection Grounds.
When this title was rewarded the first who felt the changes were All Atirathi warriors as they felt the shackles of Breakthrough the level loosen
Near the royal training ground, Rudra constructed a Resurrection Ground, shimmering with divine light and sacred symbols. It pulsed with the aura of life and death intertwined, ready to return Mahishmati's heroes when the time came.

The Kingdom Stands in Awe
When Rudra unveiled these reforms to his council and citizens, silence blanketed the court.
Even his father and grandfather, both mighty Maharathis, could only look at him with reverence.
The sages who had gathered for the coronation, including the immortal Hanuman, Vyasa, Valmiki, Vashistha, Vishwamitra, and even Parashurama, nodded in silent approval.
Across Aryavrat, kings whispered of Mahishmati's rise. Dhritarashtra and Bhishma, returning to Hastinapur, called it the "City of Gods ruled by a Man among Gods."
But the people of Mahishmati? They did not whisper. They roared.
> "Jai Maharaj Rudra! Jai Mahishmati!"
A new era had begun.
An era where power bowed to wisdom.
An era where children of farmers could become rishis or warriors.
An era where dharma ruled—not bloodlines.
The King of Karma and Dharma now reigned, not with fear, but with vision.
And the world would never be the same.
