The Awakening of Power

city of Delhi stretched beneath Aryan's apartment window, an ever-moving mass of lights and sounds. The hum of the city, once a distant, calming rhythm, now felt like a constant pulse in his veins. The transformation he had undergone over the past week had reshaped not only his body but his perception of the world. Everything had changed, but nothing more than the feeling that surged through him every time his heart beat.

Aryan had no idea what he had unlocked, but he was beginning to understand its magnitude. The Gene Evolution System had awoken something dormant inside him, something primal and dangerous.

Saturday - Training Begins

The morning light streamed into his room as Aryan stood in front of the full-length mirror, taking in the changes. His body was leaner, more defined. His muscles flexed with ease, every movement graceful and powerful. The most noticeable change, however, was in his eyes. His once dull brown eyes now had an almost unnatural clarity. The world around him seemed sharper, as though he could see through the layers of reality.

He clenched his fists, feeling a surge of raw power flow through him. His senses were heightened, his reflexes quicker. As he tested his strength, throwing a punch at the wall, the impact was enough to leave a crack. His body felt lighter, more attuned to the world around him. His heart raced—not out of fear, but excitement. The training had begun.

There was only one way to understand what had happened to him: he needed to push his body to its limits, to test just how far this power could take him. He began his day by doing the one thing he never thought he could: running. Not just a regular jog, but at a speed that left his own perception lagging behind. He covered miles within minutes, his body never tiring, his breath steady and controlled.

As he ran through the streets of Delhi, Aryan realized that his awareness of the world had also expanded. He could feel the subtle vibrations in the ground beneath him, hear the heartbeat of the people around him, and even sense the fluctuations in the air. It was as though every moment was heightened, every movement was calculated.

He couldn't stop himself from testing his newfound strength. He saw a large construction crane in the distance and, without thinking, charged at it. His hands gripped the metal, and with a grunt of effort, he lifted it off the ground. The weight was nothing to him. His body felt invincible.

As he set it back down, Aryan stood, panting but exhilarated. This wasn't just about power; this was about something deeper, something more dangerous.

By Sunday afternoon, Aryan had learned to control his enhanced strength, but he wasn't the only one who had noticed the changes in him. The Genetic Research Facility had begun its investigation into the files he accessed the week before. They had started looking into the anomaly, and it didn't take long before they discovered the breach.

Aryan had always been a low-level employee, nothing special. But now, his actions were suspicious. The files he had uncovered and the sequence he had activated were no ordinary data. They were part of a long-forgotten government project—one that had been shut down decades ago. And now, someone from the facility was looking for answers.

The first sign came when a black-suited man entered his apartment complex in the late afternoon. Aryan's senses picked up on it immediately. The man's movements were too precise, his footsteps too light. Aryan's gaze followed him from the window, his heart starting to pound in his chest. The man wasn't there to visit the building. He was looking for something. Someone. And Aryan was the only one who could be of interest.

A feeling of dread settled in Aryan's stomach as he turned and quickly grabbed his jacket. He had no idea who the man was, but he had a sinking feeling that he was not just some government worker. He was after the Gene Evolution System—and Aryan was now its unwitting bearer.

Minutes later, Aryan found himself at the apartment building's entrance, just as the man was preparing to leave. Aryan's enhanced senses allowed him to hear the faintest sound of the man's footsteps, his breath, even his heartbeat. He stepped into the hallway, keeping to the shadows, as the man exited the building, his eyes scanning the area.

The man was tall, with sharp features and an eerie calmness. He wore a black suit with a thin tie, and Aryan could see the black badge tucked into his pocket—a symbol of the Genetic Sovereign Society, the most powerful organization in the country. They were the ones who controlled the genetic enhancements, deciding who would evolve and who would stay behind. Aryan knew that if they discovered the power he had unlocked, his life would be over.

The black-suited figure turned and started to walk briskly, heading towards the city's core. Aryan didn't hesitate. He followed, knowing that he couldn't let this man see him. As he ran through the alleyways and across the busy streets, his mind raced. He wasn't sure why the man was following him, but the tension in the air made it clear that his life was at stake.

As he turned the corner, Aryan's instincts kicked in. He knew he had only moments before the man realized he was being followed. He ducked into a nearby alley, his enhanced senses allowing him to gauge the man's position even before he could see him. Aryan moved swiftly, silently, as if he had become part of the shadows. He couldn't risk letting anyone discover what he had unleashed.

The chase continued, the man's pace quickening as Aryan moved faster than he ever had before, easily outpacing his pursuer. He could hear the man's steps growing more frantic as they neared the outskirts of the city.

Without warning, Aryan turned on his heel, slamming his fist into the side of a passing vehicle. The force of his blow was enough to dent the car, causing the man to stumble backward in shock. Aryan took the opportunity to close the distance, finally confronting the stranger.

The Confrontation"What do you want from me?" Aryan demanded, his voice cold, his body tense.

The man looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You don't even know, do you? You've unlocked something dangerous, something the Genetic Sovereign Society has been searching for. You are no longer just a regular citizen. You're a threat."

Aryan stepped closer, his fists clenched. "What do you mean?"

The man smiled, a cruel glint in his eyes. "You've activated the Gene Evolution System. Do you really think you can keep it hidden from us? There are forces at work, boy. Forces much bigger than you."

Suddenly, the air around them seemed to crackle with tension. Aryan could feel the weight of the man's words pressing down on him. His powers were no longer just his. They were part of a much larger game. A game he wasn't prepared to play.

Without a word, the man vanished into the shadows, leaving Aryan standing alone in the alley, his heart pounding.
