Strength unleashed

Chapter 2: Strength Unleashed

The early morning sun stretched over the village of Dhiraina, casting long shadows across the dusty roads. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and the distant sound of roosters crowing. I stood outside our small brick house, shirtless, feeling the warmth of the sun against my unnaturally powerful body.

My mind was still struggling to grasp reality. I was Dalip Singh Rana now—The Great Khali in his youth—but something more. The serum inside me was a mystery, a silent storm waiting to be unleashed.

I needed to test it.

"Dalip! Get moving!" my older brother, Makhan, called from behind. His tone was impatient, but not unkind.

In this life, Dalip was one of seven siblings. His family was poor, barely scraping by. He had spent his youth working as a laborer, hauling heavy stones to support them. A life of struggle.

But now, my body felt different. More than just naturally strong—something far beyond human limits.

We arrived at the worksite, a dusty stretch of land where other men were already lifting massive stones and loading them onto carts. This was where Dalip's raw strength had first made an impression in the past life. Today, I would see just how far it could go.

Makhan pointed to a boulder, easily 200 kilograms. "Get that one."

I crouched, gripping the rough edges. The moment my fingers dug in, something clicked inside me. Energy surged through my muscles like a lightning strike. I lifted—effortlessly.

The other workers stopped what they were doing.

Eyes widened. Mouths gaped.

I wasn't just lifting the boulder—I was holding it up like it weighed nothing.

The murmurs began. "How is he doing that?" "Wasn't he struggling just last week?" "That's impossible!"

I set the rock down gently, but my mind was racing. My heartbeat was steady, my breathing normal. The serum had enhanced me beyond imagination.

Makhan clapped a hand on my shoulder. "Dalip… what the hell was that?"

I met his gaze and, for the first time, felt something stir inside me. A hunger. A realization.

I was not meant for this life of labor.

This body was built for something greater.

And I would find out what.
