Ruler's Creed

By Vikas Tomar

I déjà vu Ruler’s Creed is a medical fiction, runs from ancient civilization to citadels to next gen. It illustrates a journey of self-realization of Bella – young bike racer. Story travels in past and present in dual narration.
 
However it’s fiction, references & inspiration comes from the heritage, actually an amalgamation where facts marries fiction. Folktales begin from historical icon Anang Pal, who formed Anangpur, which later become Delhi.
 
Bella is about to quit race, but Dave’s folktales & quote "Don’t give up! Make your tour - memorable enough, inspiring enough so even your rivals wish to live life like yours! We are beside you!” echoes & re-charges her to continue the race.
 
She gets Déjà vu, initially pointless, but eventually gets what it all means.
Further teasing but smart tips of his brother - Rudraksh, helps her to catch up in the race.

During an accident in race, her leg is terribly hurt; Bella acts to make sense of what the déjà vu she gets about her racing partner, both have distinct personalities. Take a look inside her mind.

INTRODUCTION

Dreaming is exploring the outside; looking inside is the awakening.

Er. Vikas Tomar has been the link to explore the history of Delhi and NCR, being the bridge between the conservative/reserved historians who carry forward the facts as folklore from generations to generations, and the most cutting-edge storytelling/infotainment platform such as SenSync, Limitless Flight, Magic Leap, Hololens, Oculus, Valve, HTC, Teslasuit.

Inspiration comes from several events in the memory of Indian freedom fighters organized by his father, Er. Vijai Pal, in the memory of grandfather, freedom fighter, Late Sri Dalel Singh.

Exploring the origin of Delhi provides thrilling facts around the world’s largest chain of emperors, which should be nominated in the Guinness Book of World Records and exploration of epigenetic behind it.

Gathering all the facts from the main among 86 villages of Delhi’s first emperor, Anangpal Dev, and mapping the facts with possible supporting pieces of evidence like write-ups, museum, and interviews with regional historians.

It’s a dazzling visual chronicle of Dev’s victory expeditions that will enthrall experts and casual readers alike.

Also, featuring exclusive interviews with well-known historians showcasing a treasure trove of infographics illustrating Delhi & Emperor Dev’s History, less known freedom fighters, and approach to link up with the upcoming generation of aspiring millennium teenagers.

FOREWORD

I have known Er. Vikas Tomar for a while now, I have had the pleasure of brainstorming with him and discuss integrating hyperreality experiences for team flow, NLP, overview effect, and genetic memory. Over the last few years, we have been on many innovations without knowing each other, but with a similar mindset and vision. I have always enjoyed brainstorming with Er. Tomar, incredibly immersive content concepts around two revolutionary concepts: overview effect for Mars; and multi-planetary lifestyle. On the other hand, recreating the experience of Indian mythology and epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Above all of that, I am thrilled to co-produce the adventures of the Tomara dynasty's legends, where Er. Tomar is a descendant of Anangpal Tomar. I am delighted to write this foreword because I believe deeply in the value of all readers' psychological and historical elements.

Since the long-debated sanction for Ram temple, there are plans for the digital museums to recall the chronicles of the Hindu mythology saga, Lord Rama. It is a known fact that many prosperous titles (movies, novels, and games) have been inspired by the myths of the Hindu mythology, such as Yugo Sako's Ramayana and George Lucas's Star Wars (Box office of $10.4 billion). In comparison, titles like Assassin's Creed (Revenue of $5 billion) are inspired by the renaissance period. There are also many references to Hindu metaphysics in the Wachowskis' The Matrix (Box office of $1.65 billion). Even James Cameron's Avatar (Box office of $3 billion) was linked to Hinduism as well, as Cameron stated: I just have loved everything, the mythology, the entire Hindu pantheon, seems so rich and vivid.

I, as the co-founder of The VOID (IP partners including Sony entertainment and Disney, to name a few), have developed many blockbuster movie experiences in XR, including Wreck-It Ralph, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Jumanji, and so many more. Looking at the rich chronicles of the Tomara dynasty, we wish to render these legends for India and South-East Asia's edutainment industry, which is estimated to be at USD 10.16 Billion globally by 2027.

We are just starting to understand how powerful virtual experiences can be in influencing our perception of reality. It will be a great adventure to explore these new understandings through these fantastic historical stories..

NOTE TO THE READER

It was the summer of 2019, when the core team, TeamX was engendered, by Pixel Galaxy, to launch the first XR Center in India with an event of digital twinning and blockchain, conceived by BTXCity, hosted by GL Bajaj, and promoted by ETRI, NIPA, and D’Carrick (South Korea). Before the establishment of TeamX, at Tomorrow’s India (Shangrila, Singapore), the first event in which i Déjà vu had been officially announced, Er. Vikas Tomar showcased an AR application on the account of i Déjà vu, which everyone was amazed by, including audiences and the media including Bloomberg.

This book is just a base to introduce the plot and characters to get started, and TeamX was fortunate enough to learn and explore new horizons, which include the followed up events: Korean Wave Concert; Pleasure Hunt; Global Nature Film Festival; and many more. We got the opportunity to discover and execute innovative projects in XR, drones, and other trending immersive cutting-edge technologies, the most interesting projects have been GTMars, and i Déjà vu.

We were fortuitous of the fact that we got to interact with an aspiring artist, that at a very young age, Aryan Tomar, who has produced soundtracks and scores for the conception of i Déjá vu, which can be accessed through the starting of many chapters. The soundtracks are in the form of QR codes which can be easily read through a smartphone, the QR scan will redirect to the track.

The special section covers the insights, such as character, plot & associates brief, vision for the concepts to evolve, and image gallery. After launching the book, Er. Tomar had met an accident in Asia’s toughest week-long race, where he was shortlisted among the top bikers across India and other international participants. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this book had been on hold, but now, we, TeamX, are all geared up to contribute, enhance, and develop CREZ under SMEs from the area of neurology, biology, technology, flow, history, and futurity.

BEHIND THE DOOR

15504.png

A cloudy summer evening lingered over the busy street, which started getting cleared as the darkness engulfed berlin’s landscape, and it wasn’t the only thing it shadowed; it did prowl some innocent minds as well...

______________

15512.png

Her sweat shot face looked pale and disinterested in the things put up on the first floor of the KaDeWe store. Even the bright red lipstick was unable to hide the restlessness on her face. She slipped downwards, out of this mammoth 100-year-old store holding her pink leather purse close to her heart. With the energy of a teenager, she paced up to the left. The sky above her was turning deep blue as the color of her eye-shadow, the night was falling much like her long black hair bouncing on her back as she walked, the busy street seemed to close in on her as she walked deeper into the Wittenbergplatz market. She hastily entered a restaurant clasped between two big wholesale stores. She chose a lonely table and sat down in the left corner with her back towards the entrance. The lights were dim, which made her look pale. She nervously scanned the tables around, sitting alone in the wait. Sasha’s big eyes were darting left to right. Was she being followed?... A tap on the shoulder and she was almost broken into pieces but was relieved to see her friend. This girl with a fair complexion, red hair, and tattooed wrist held a packet, which she smoothly placed in her coat. Sasha’s crimson top couldn’t hide her shiver of being caught. The hazel eyes were nervous and flickering, looking towards the door of the store where a shadow loomed like a ghost!

The humid breeze covered the windows and doors with a sheath of mist in Berlin. Almost all the figures would look similar to glass, but this was different from an air of uneasiness. Both the girls were being watched. Sasha kept glancing at Bella and then at the door behind her. The girls changed position, and now, Bella could see what Sasha was suspecting. She raised her eyebrows and exchanged a quick word with her, then shot out of the restaurant, swaying the door in the face of someone in wait. Unaware and unsuspecting, as they were this time, from the behind, an addict swiftly rushed past, catching hold of the wrapped parcel in Sasha’s top, and ran wildly into the dark alley slicing through the late-night walkers on the road. The strange shadow grew bigger, scared, and shocked. Sasha ran madly towards the weird druggy, followed by the storming stranger behind her. The parcel kept hopping from one druggy to another. In this frantic chase, a passer-by got slammed into the lamppost, and the stranger following Sasha caught hold of his bike, rode it simultaneously, throwing a shoplifted cleaning wiper from the janitor store, in the direction of his chase. Instead of the druggy, it knocked down Sasha. As she fell on the ground in the alley on her left, into a dark junk space, she suddenly turned claustrophobic, and her palpitations shot up. Her gaze got fixed at a standing tire, which seemed like rolling back. The scene started dissolving into a visual of an Indian street, where a hysterical woman chases her with a broom in her hand. Sasha was unable to make sense of it all. Sasha only knew that she was caught-up and maybe trapped this time.

Meanwhile, ahead of her, the druggy gets bike-lifted by another, the packet was still clasped in his hands and the stranger was following them madly on a bicycle. The bike snaked through a series of people, and the bicycle followed jumping off a tilted sled. The cyclist almost landed on the biker, hitting over his shoulder. The bike entered a narrow lane, and so did the cyclist from another corner. He got in their way, and the bikers accelerated, trying to run over him, but the wise stranger ducked inside the alley on the left. Bikers were relaxed now after coming to the main road towards U-Bahn’s station. Much to their disappointment, the cyclist attacked them from the front this time, appearing from the market lane ahead of them. They screeched, stopped the bike, and skid past turning back, and the stranger still chased them with all his might, determined to catch hold of them. His aggressiveness made the biker weak in the guts, now they knew that it may cost them their life or, if not, then maybe some parts of their body! The druggy gave up when the bike almost banged into a goods truck ahead of them while the cycle smoothly slipped through beneath it. As a result, the druggy dropped the menacing packet then and there in the middle of the road, turned the bike, and sped away.

Bella, who managed to save herself by hiding behind an empty garbage truck, walked towards Sasha and her heeled boots obstructed Sasha’s vision in the dark. Bella gently lifted her, and the girl seemed severely hit.

***

In the Klinik Am Wittensbergplatz, the grey light of the sun peeped through a curtained window. Sasha lifted her droopy eyelids and closed them again. The doctor confirmed that she has drifted into an unconscious state. Bella was more anxious now as the doctor wanted to see Sasha’s husband. As needed, Bella called her to the Hospital, briefing her something on the phone. Sasha’s husband, Norbert, came and eagerly waited for the doctor. The doctor came into the room and ordered the medical attendant to check Sasha’s vitals. Bella introduced Norbert to the doctor, and they entered into a serious conversation about the circumstances in which Sasha was brought for their emergency medical services, and they were not alone in the room as two eyes watched them from the glass view mirror of the door. Norbert faced the doctor, and all of a sudden, his eyes sprang towards the doors! WHO was he? Why was someone overhearing them and watching them so closely? A second of eerie silence swept across the room as the doctor too turned, Bella, withal looked through the glass.

The footsteps now could be heard stomping across the corridors of the hospital, running haywire breaking indoor plant-pots. Norbert banged the doors in and out, chasing the strange man, Whatever happened? This man certainly has something to do with it... I need to catch him. This resolution circled in his mind as he thronged hard to catch hold of him. The stranger took the fire exit staircase and flung himself off the stories like a monkey. Norbert stood there, astonished and exhausted, looking down the swirl of the stairs. He took his eyes off it as now it was of no use and shifted back towards the emergency door, and there, he stumbled upon this fateful packet. He picked it up and immediately knew that the stranger did drop it while on the run, maybe it is behind the whole scene. The strange stalker couldn’t run far as the hospital guards caught him and brought him to Sasha’s room, thanks to the doctor’s presence of mind. Bella, who was looking at Sasha till now, turned around, being curious who this ghostly figure was, she stood up to take a closer look too. Bella looked over her shoulder, and was flabbergasted to the point that she almost shrieked, YOU!!

Bella’s reaction put several question marks in everyone’s head. Norbert inquisitively uttered in a confused yet anguished tone, You know him too? Bella gave him a concerning nod and a firm-assuring look that she will and probably can explain. Perhaps, the time wasn’t yet ripe, and before any dialogue could commence, the doctor declared emergency care for Sasha. Medical attendants, who were already prepared to rush her to ICU, got on the move. Both started moving towards ICU with Sasha’s patient trolley, and in all this slurry of events, Bella caught hold of the stranger and pulled him along.

RELIVING

15521.png

A long time back, there was a king. Sounds familiar... no? Well, these are the lines with which we are launched into the world of dreams, but what if these dreams come out of our subconscious mind and start flowing in our blood? Will we be the same? Can our anonymous identities upsurge and haunt us? Can it make us a winner or a loser in the playground of life?

______________

What? Dev questioned with an unbelievable look and continued, Perhaps, I am not responsible for everything, Chitra.

Chitra said in a hopeless tone, What is with this disappearing and appearing act of yours? Does that sound responsible to you? When I don’t know what you are up to, then how in the world would I know what your daughter is up to, after all, it is the same blood. Isn’t it!

I will make things right... don’t worry. I won’t go anywhere without changing things for the better. Believe me for the last time. Dev replied with a calm look.

There was this long silence between both as if someone had muted them deliberately. Chitra slumped down on the chair, whispering, I don’t know what to do? I think I did what I could to handle the kids most of my life. I need...

Dev interrupted suddenly, Rest. You need some rest, Chitra. You must now take your attention to yourself for a few days. Bella will go with me while you stay here with Rudraksh. Leave every other thing to me.

I thought that it wouldn’t be much difficult, but I was wrong, she is 21, and she is refusing to grow up. I thought that both my kids didn’t get any characteristic trait or anything from your natives, except their names... but well, maybe here also, I am wrong. And for heaven’s sake, what’s that envelope in your hand?

Dev smiled and looked at her with a confident smile, I know what she needs, I know what I need, I know a lot what she doesn’t, and this envelope is our ticket to knowledge. Trust me!

Chitra knew that she was talking to an enigma, and it is useless quizzing him on it. Meanwhile, Lillian entered the room. Chitra swiftly stomped out.

Uncle, I think I am sorry. I didn’t want any trouble, but I needed someone to go with me, so I asked Bella to accompany me to the party yesterday in the evening. I am deep-stuck in here just for a whole lot of fun, but she left early for some important work, and I swear we ain’t into this at all, and we are grown-ups, you know, we know it isn’t for us.

Dev grunted and replied, It isn’t for anyone Lilly... there can be many Lilly’s out there troubling their innocent friends in this idiotic and simply worthless act. I met you earlier and told you to keep Bella away from all the ‘fun’ things you do... why did you take her then?

I... I... I can’t be away from her, she is my best friend. I won’t drag her into anything bad for her... trust me.. okay... can I be with her in good? Please, uncle... I am kinda really sorry... Lillian pleaded.

After the last night’s events, Bella just gathered all strength and sat straight, What’s the matter?

Dev said, Bella, are you feeling better now?

Bella lifted her head and said, Yeah, K... okay... I’m fine, dad... it was just that I was way too tired, you know! Don’t worry...

I heard you mumbling in your phone last night, Bella... were you talking to someone after coming from the party? asked the concerned dad inside Dev. Bella quickly hid her wrist phone inside the sheets and replied, No, dad. I wasn’t.

Don’t know why but it felt like... was she? Dev insisted. Bella twisted her face and said, Asking the same question in a different manner doesn’t change the reply, dad... please, cut it off!

Her casual tone was hurting for Dev, but still, he seemed happy for something else. There was a lot to be done. There was a plane pacing off in the sky, and his view zoomed in on it as he looked out of the window.

***

The plane to France was going through rough weather, and there were tremors for a short span. Dev sat there, observing his surroundings. A tall, obese, and fair man occupied the seat next to him, obstructing his view, and he wasn’t able
