Foundations of an Empire – The Company is Born
[Date: March 14, 2025 | Time: 7:00 AM | Location: Ankush's Bedroom, Jadavpur, Kolkata]
Morning sunlight peeked through the curtains of Ankush's modest but well-organized room. The rays danced across the hardwood floor, casting golden stripes onto the desk, where schematics, mana crystal samples, and a blueprint scroll still lay unrolled.
Ankush stirred under his blanket. For the first time in weeks, he had slept soundly. No dungeon echoes, no war cries of abyssal beasts. Just the soft hum of Kolkata's early morning and the occasional distant ring of a mana-powered bicycle zipping past on the main road.
But peace was not his permanent companion. The moment his eyes fluttered open, reality kicked back in.
The Universe+ Mana Core, the Cosmic Engineering Blueprint, and now… a fully functioning D-tier guild with city privileges.
And yet, something still felt incomplete.
He sat up slowly, brushing his fingers through his hair, staring at his digital terminal embedded into the wall.
Soymojit was still passed out on the floor mattress. Ankush didn't bother waking him. That poor guy had nearly fainted from sensory overload after witnessing just a glimpse of the guild's true potential.
Ankush stared at the blinking notification that had silently been hovering since dawn:
> [System Reminder: Establishing legal identity is necessary for business and inter-guild commerce.]
> [Your current guild requires a parent organization for global commercial recognition.]
>
> Action Suggested: Register a Company – Mandatory for Economic Operations.]
That was it. The next logical step.
He'd built a city. Now, he needed a company to control the empire.

[Date: March 14, 2025 | Time: 9:30 AM | Location: Ministry of Interdimensional Affairs – Kolkata Branch]
The Kolkata office of the Ministry of Interdimensional Affairs (MIDA) was a hybrid between a government complex and a tech startup headquarters. Smooth white walls with embedded mana-lit veins of blue energy ran down the halls. Holographic counters lined the registration section.
Ankush stood in line, wearing his plain black hoodie, a pair of mana-insulated trousers, and his Shadow Veil Mask tucked in his backpack—just in case. He had come as a regular citizen. Today, he was just Ankush Halder, not the mysterious "Guild Master" from the world announcements.
A sharp female voice called from the digital kiosk.
"Next. Counter 4."
He approached.
Behind the desk was a woman with a professional air, a digital pen in one hand and a holographic pad in the other. Her eyes scanned him—standard security measure. Then, she smiled politely.
"How may I help you today?"
Ankush took a deep breath.
"I want to register a company."

Ankush let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.

Now, every mana device, every blueprint, and every future invention he released could be tied back to AstraForge.
And the world would soon come to know its name.

Soymojit had just arrived via mana-cycle, waving from the gate.
"You actually did it?"
Ankush smirked, holding out the registration document, glinting in its mana-forged metal scroll.
"AstraForge Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is now official."
Soymojit grabbed it and read through. "This sounds like something that belongs on the moon."
"Just wait," Ankush said. "We're going further than that."
