24 Bhookh ka Raaz aur Bilal ka Khooni Khel
Arjun ka Ghar – Mangalwar Subah
Mangalwar ki subah Arjun jab utha, toh usne socha tha uska badan kal huyi Mutant Hunter ke saath ladai ke baad thaka hua hoga. Par werewolf system ki wajah se uski rati bhar bhi thaakan nahi thi. Lekin ek cheez usko ajib lagi. Usko kuch zyada hi bhookh lagi thi, aur yeh koi normal bhookh nahi thi jo nashte ke parantha ya dosa kha ke shant ho jaye.
Yeh alag bookh thi maans ki bookh, kal jab woh raat ko ghar wapas aa raha tha toh pehle, usne meat shop se 2 kg mutton khareeda tha, taaki fight mein kharch hui energy woh wapas full kar sake. Aur uske baad usne ghar pe Maa (Sunita) aur behen (Riya) ke saath khana bhi khaaya tha. Lekin fir bhi uski bookh uski jaan le rahi thi.
“Ye kya ho raha hai, bhenchod?” Arjun ne apne aap se kaha aur system ko check kiya. Screen pe kuch notifications dikhe, jo kal raat midnight ke baad aaye the jab woh so gaya tha.
[Full moon ke kareeb aate hi chand ki taqat tumhe aur takatvar baneyegi]
[Current Bonus: All Stats +2]
[Tumhari khoon ki pyas badh rahi hai.]
[7 din bache hain agli purnima tak.]
“Whoa, yeh kya mast boost hai!” Arjun ke chehre pe smile aa gayi. “Aur kitne boost milenge? Par yeh bonus toh purnima ke baad gayab ho jayega na? Phir kya hoga? Agar chand werewolf ki taqat ka source hai, toh kya naya chand aane pe main weak ho jaunga?”
Usne System ke 7 din wale message ko ignore kiya aur apne stats check karne laga:
[Strength: 7 (+2)]
[Dexterity: 3 (+2)]
[Endurance: 9 (+2)]
“Ek hafte baad main kitna powerful ho jaunga? Aur jab main full transform karunga, toh tab kya hoga?” Arjun soch mein pad gaya. Phir usne apni Energy aur Health check ki—no bonus, par ek cheez usko shock kar gayi.
[81/110 Energy]
“Ye kya bakchodi hai? Kal raat sote waqt toh full thi! Kya main neend mein werewolf ban ke bhaag raha tha ya kya?” Arjun ghabra gaya.
System ne is baar jawab diya:
[Jaise-jaise purnima kareeb aati hai, tumhari khoon ki pyas badhti hai, aur isse tumhari Energy zyada kharch hoti hai. Apni Energy badhao.]
“Bhenchod, ab toh mere paas koi stat point bhi nahi bacha hai! Aur is Energy ko naturally kaise badhaun? Is chutiya system mein koi tutorial kyun nahi hai?!” Arjun chilla ke bol pada, par system chup raha—jaise uski gaaliyo ka uspar koi asar hi hua ho.
“Thik hai, jab tak koi permanent solution nahi milta, tab tak meat khareed ke Energy full kar lunga,” Arjun ne socha. “Par usse abh fight se bhi bachna hoga, aur Charging Heart ka use bhi kam karna padega.”
Jaldi se school uniform pehen ke Arjun fridge ke paas gaya. Usne socha tha ke fridge mai jarur kuch na kuch khaane ko milega, lekin fridge khol kar usse yaad aeya ki. Usne saaman peechle hafte lakar bhara tha fridge mai. Toh ab fridge mai sirf ek doodh ka packet, thodi juice, anda, makkhan, aur jam rakha hua tha. Par Arjun ka dil meat maang raha tha—meat, kacha ya pakka, bas meat!
Meat toh abh fridge mai tha nahi, toh usne fridge band kardi aur sochne laga, ki mujhe aur paiso ki jarurat hai, maine emergency funds mai 5 hazar bacha ke rakhe the, lagta hai usko bhi use karna padh sakta hai.
Time ho gaya tha nikalne ka. Lekin ek baat aachi thi me Riya ne Maa ko Arjun ke school se suspend hone ki baat nahi batayi thi. Ghar se nikalte hi usne dekha uski Energy thodi aur gir gayi thi:
[78/100 Energy]
“Abhi toh ek hafta baaki hai, yeh bhookh aur kitni badhegi? Agar Karan mujhe RedZone mein phir ladne ka bol de, ya koi aur fight ho gayi, toh meri Energy zero ho jayegi. Main koi naya Bilal nahi banne de sakta!” Arjun ne raste mein ek patthar ko gusse se laat maar di.
Patthar udta hua ek dukaan ke shishay pe laga, jahan ek poster tha. Arjun odd jobs dhoond raha tha, par is poster ne uska dhyan kheench liya:
[MMA Academy: Bano Agla Bada Fighter!]
“Mutant academy jo mutants ko train karti hai? Agar main yahan jaa saka, toh saari problems solve ho jayengi! Jo paisa fighters kamaate hain, usse main Maa ke saare loans clear kar doonga,” Arjun khayalon mein kho gaya. Par tabhi uske dimaag mai ek baat aayi. Mutants apni marzi se transform kar sakte hain, aur Arjun ka werewolf roop abhi uske control ke bahar tha.
Apne is sapne ko dimaag se nikal kar woh high street se nikal ke ek park ke paas jungle area mein chala gaya. Is jagah aane ki ek khas wajah thi—kal raat ki fight ke baad system ne usko ek nayi skill ka reward diya tha.
[Current Level ke liye Available Skills:]
[Claw Drain]
[Hardened Will]
“Teen options nahi de sakta tha kya? Khair, free mil rahi hai toh jayda shikayat nahi karni chaheye,” Arjun ne socha. “Par yeh system usko thodi si description toh de hi sakta tha! Sirf naam se kya samjhoon mai abh in skills ke baare mai?”
Claw Drain ek attacking skill lag rahi thi, jabki Hardened Will defensive. Arjun ka Endurance pehle se hi high tha (9+2), toh usko defensive skill ki zarurat nahi lagi. Kal Hunter ke saath fight mein bhi usse taqat ki kami mehsoos hui thi, na ki defence ki.
[Claw Drain select karna chahte ho?]
[Yes / No]
Arjun ne Yes dabaya, aur ek jhatke se skill ki info uske dimaag mein ghus gayi. Bas skill ka naam sochna tha, aur woh activate ho jayegi.
[Claw Drain (Level 1)]
[Activate hone pe, tumhare attacks ka aadha damage Health recover karega.]
[Energy Cost: 15 points]
[Duration: 2 seconds]
“Ye toh gazab hai, bhai!” Arjun khush ho gaya. “Ab tak main Energy se Health recover karta tha, par ab direct fight mein heal kar sakta hoon. Thodi si taqat boost hoti toh aur maza aata, par yeh bhi theek hai. Bas problem yeh hai ki yeh skill 15 Energy points legi aur sirf 2 seconds ke leye activate hogi. Agar maine Charging Heart (10 Energy) aur Claw Drain dono ek saath use kiye, toh 25 Energy poinst ek baar mein hi kharch ho jayenge”
Arjun jungle mein isliye aaya tha taaki Claw Drain test kar sake. Par apna Energy bar (78/100) dekh ke usse tension ho rahi thi. Passive Energy loss pehle hi chal raha tha—test karna safe hai kya? Par bina skill samjhe fight mai use karna kahi mehnga na padh jaye?
Jab woh yeh sab soch raha tha, toh uska burner phone vibrate huya. Pocket se nikala toh ek news notification thi:
[Breaking News: University student ka qatal, sharir par janwar ke nishaan!]
Arjun ka dil dhadak gaya. “Ye toh Bilal ka kaam hai, bhenchod!” Isne toh khooni khel shuru kar diya. Woh phone wapas pocket mein daalne hi wala tha ki uska secret burner phone vibrate ho gaya. Isme sirf ek hi number tha—Karan ka. Aur Karan ko wait karana Arjun ke liye khatre se khali nahi tha, kyunki woh uska ek akhri sahara tha Viper Gang se bhaagne ka.
[Arjun, jaldi milna hai. Baat Bilal ke baare mein hai!]
“Ye kya panga hai? Karan ko Bilal ke baare mein kaise pata?” Arjun ghabra gaya. “Kya usse meri werewolf aur bilal ko kaatne ki baat ka pata chal gaya, lekin kaise?, usko kaise pata chal sakta hai?, kiya usne koi connection khoj nikala hai mera aur Bilal ka?”
Phir uske dimaag mein ek khayal aaya: “Agar Karan ko Bilal ka koi clue mila hai, toh yeh meri leye ek aachachance hai usko rokne ka, warna pata nahi woh aur kitne khoon kar dale ga!”
Usne clock dekha—12:30 PM. College mein cricket practice 3 PM par shuru hona tha, par Karan ka message urgent tha. Arjun ne faisla kiya ki school abhi jaye ga. Usko apne Energy bar ki tension thi, toh usne Charging Heart use nahi kiya—aur apni normal speed se bhaag ke school pahunch gaya.
Asha Modern College– Dopahar ka time
School mein lunch break abhi shuru nahi hua tha. Arjun ka uniform dekh ke koi bhi uspar shak nahi karega, aur jinko pata hai ki woh suspend toh unhe lage ki shaed mujhe Headmaster ne bulaya hai. “Aur vaise bhi kaun suspend hone ke baad college wapas aayega?” Arjun ne socha.
Gate se andar ghus kar hallways se tezi hote huye, teachers aur students se bachta hua. Karan ke bataye thikane par pahunch gaya. Karan ne usko ek storage room mein milne ka bola tha.
Storage room ek chhota sa closet tha—waha par bharpoor safai ka samaan, toilet paper ke dher, aur ek badboo wali balti padi thi. Arjun andar ghus gaya, par wahan chaar kadam se zyada ki jagah nahi thi. Usne Karan ko text kiya ki woh pahunch gaya hai, par koi reply nahi aaya. Tabhi lunch brek ki bell baji, aur hallways mein students ka shor shuru ho gaya.
Achanak darwaze pe knock hui. Arjun ghabra gaya—chhupne ki jagah dhoondne laga, lekin koi khaas jagah nahi mil rahi thi. Woh toilet paper ke dher ke peeche chup gaya. Darwaza khula aur koi andar aa gya.
“Arre, yeh mere se chupne ki jarurat naji hai, bhai!” Karan ne haste huye bola, darwaza band karte hue. “Aur yeh kya, tu chup raha hai? Maine knock kiya tha taaki tu samjhe jaye ki main hoon. Agar koi safayi karne wala hota toh woh knock kyun karta? Unke ilava kaun aayega yahan? Aur woh knock kyun karga!”
Arjun apni naa samjhi par sharminda ho gya, woh apne kapdo pe dhool jhaadta hua khada hua. “Toh tu Bilal ke baare mein kiya jaanta hai? Tune usko dekha kya? Woh kaisa dikh raha tha?” Arjun ne jaldi se poocha.
Karan ko Arjun ka sawal thoda ajib laga, par usne jawab diya: “Nahi, maine usko nahi dekha, warna police khabar nahi karta. Tu thodi der chup reh aur sun. Aur haan, panic mat karna, kyunki isse koi fayda nahi. Mujhe teri madad chahiye yeh sochne mein ki aage kya karna hai.”
Arjun ka gala sookh gaya—Karan ka yeh serious tone usko dara raha tha.
“Toh tune news mein yeh saare qatl ke baare mai dekha hai na?” Karan ne bolna shuru kiya. “Mujhe yakeen hai yeh sab Bilal ka hi kaam hai. Soch—‘maa-baap ke qatl ke baad ladka gayab hai, police usko dhoond rahi hai, par woh mil hi nahi raha hai.’ Aur isko samajne ke leye koi jayda dimag lagne ki jarurt nahi hai, jaa toh woh mar gaya hai, ya Bilal hi prime suspect hai. Tune bhi toh mujhe uske baare mein text kiya tha, na?”
Arjun ki tension thodi kam hui ki Karan ko kuch nahi pata hai. Aur Arjun ko bhi Bilal par shak tha ki woh hi in sab qatlon ke peeche hai.
Karan ne bolna zaari rakha: “Ek qatl hamare College ke ladke ka hua hai, aur latest wala ek university student ka. Aur dono ka Bilal se connection tha.”
“Yeh connection kya hai? Aur tune yeh sab kaise pata kiya?” Arjun ne poocha.
Karan ne smile di: “Thodi si kismat, aur thodi si mehnat. Asal mein main tera aur Indrajeet ke beech ka link dhoond raha tha. Indrajeet, yaad hai na? Hamara naya gang member?” Arjun ne haan mai sir hila diya. Indrajeet ko usne ek baar dekha tha, par uska Bilal ke qatlon se kya connection?
“Dekh, tu akela nahi jisko raat mein ‘gift’ mila tha,” Karan ne kaha. “Indrajeet ke ghar bhi kisi ne aisa hi kuch bheja tha. Usne bhi akal se kaam liya aur mujhe ye sab handle karne ko bola. Main baar-baar aise ‘gifts’ ka jhamela nahi chahta hoon.”
“Toh maine thodi digging ki—kon aisa kar sakta hai? Indrajeet ka Viper Gang ya kisi aur gang se koi jhagda nahi hai. Toh muje ek hi cheez common mili—ki tum dono RedZone Club mein lad chuke ho. Aur guess kar, kaun aur wahan lada tha? Bilal! Aur yeh dono ladke—college wala aur university wala—dono ne RedZone mein Bilal se fight ki thi.”
Arjun ka dimaag ghoom gaya. “Toh Bilal un sab se badla le raha hai jinse woh haara tha?”
Karan ne kaha: “Haan, aur yeh baat aur interesting ho jati hai. Dono victims—college ka ladka aur university ka student—dono ne Bilal ko RedZone mein hara diya tha. Aur jo ‘gifts’ tum dono ko mile, mujhe lagta hai woh inhi do victims ke sharir ke hisse the.”
Arjun ka dil beth gaya. “Toh kya Bilal mujhe aur Indrajeet ko bhi dhoond raha hai? Aur tune in victims ke naam kaise pata kiye? News mein toh college ke ladke ka naam bhi nahi aaya tha, uske parivaar ne naam chhupaya tha.”
Karan ne thodi si garmi se kaha: “Main je kaise kiya ise chhod? Tu bass is baat se khush ho ki maine connection dhoond liya hai. Aur haan, Bilal sirf unhi ko nahi dhoond raha jinse woh lada—sirf unko hi dhoondh raha hai jinse woh hara hai. Total chaar log the jinse woh haara hai—do toh mar chuke, aur baaki bache do… woh hai tu aur Indrajeet.”
“FUCK!” Arjun ke muh se jahi shabad nikla. Uska dil dhadak raha tha [120 BPM]. Bilal uske peeche tha, aur yeh sab uski wajah se hua tha—kyunki usne Bilal ko kaata tha. Ab Indrajeet bhi uski hitlist pe tha, aur yeh saara khoon uski wajah se ho rahe the.
“Tum dono ko ek saath rehna chahiye, ek doosre ka khayal rakhna chaheye,” Karan ne kaha. “Bilal ke paas koi toh info source hai—nahi toh usne tum dono ke ghar kaise dhoonde? Shayad RedZone Club ke records se, ya kisi aur tarike se.”
Arjun ka dimaag chakkra raha tha. “Agar Bilal mujhe dhoond sakta hai, toh Viper Gang bhi dhoond sakti hai. Aur agar main usko nahi rok paya, toh yeh qatl kabhi nahi rukenge.”
Karan ne uske kandhe pe haath rakha. “Tu chinta mat kar, bhai. Main tere saath hoon. Par abhi hume plan banana hoga—Bilal ko rokna hai, aur tujhe bhi safe rakhna hai.”
Storage room ke bahar students ka shor badh raha tha. Arjun ka dil abhi bhi dhadak raha tha, par usne faisla kiya—ki usse Bilal ko rokna hi hoga, warna uska parivaar aur Indrajeet sab khatre mein aa jayen ge.
RedZone Club – Shaam
Cricket practice ke baad Arjun Karan ke saath RedZone Club wapas chala gaya. Karan ka plan tha Indrajeet ko bhi wahan bulana, taaki teeno saath mein Bilal ke against strategy bana sake. Club mein neon lights jagmag rahi thi, “RedZone Rules” wala graffiti diwar pe chamak raha tha, aur bar counter pe ek ladki khadi thi—tight black crop top aur leather skirt mein, uski curvy figure sabka dhyan kheench rahi thi. Usne Arjun ko dekhte hi ek seductive smile di, jaise keh rahi ho, “Lunar Claw, aja muje apne panjo se noch dal!” Arjun ka dil ek pal ke liye dhadka [130 BPM], par usne apni nazrein hata li.
Indrajeet (ring name: Thunder Indra) wahan pehle se hi majood tha, woh ek beer ka glass haath mein liye. Karan dono ko ek chhote se private booth mein le gaya, jahan music ka shor kam tha.
“Indrajeet, Arjun, tum dono ko ek team ban ke kaam karna hoga,” Karan ne kaha. “ Bilal tum dono ke peeche hai. Woh RedZone ke records se tumhare ghar tak pahunch gaya hai. Aur mujhe lagta hai uska agla nishana Indrajeet hai.”
Indrajeet ne glass table pe patka. “Toh us saale ko rokna hai na? Bol, kya karna hai?”
Karan ne ek burner phone nikala aur table pe rakha. “Yeh lo, isme ek tracker hai. RedZone ke sources ke hisaab se Bilal aaj raat ek purani factory mein chhup huya hai. Hum teeno wahan jayenge, aur usko khatam karenge.”
Arjun ka dil zor se dhadak gaya [150 BPM]. “Khatam karenge? Matlab… marenge?”
Karan ne serious look se usse dekha. “Haan, Arjun. Bilal ek mutant hai, aur woh rukega nahi jab tak uska badla pura nahi hota. Tu usko rokna chahta hai ya nahi?”
Arjun chup raha. Bilal uski galti tha, par kya woh usko maar sakta tha? Indrajeet ne uski taraf dekha aur bola, “Bhai, agar tu darr raha hai, toh main akela bhi uska muqabla kar lunga. Par yeh kaam hona zaroori hai.”
Purani Factory – Raat 11 PM
Teeno ek tooti hui factory ke paas pahunche, jahan streetlights bhi nahi thi. Andhera itna ghana tha ki Arjun ke werewolf senses hi uske kaam aa rahe the. Factory ke darwaze pe “Viper Gang Rules” ka graffiti tha, jo Arjun ko aur tension de raha tha.
Karan ne ishara kiya, aur teeno andar ghus gaye. Factory ke andar rusty machines aur toote shishe pade the. Hawa mein ek gandi si badboo thi—khoon aur gosht ki. Arjun ka dil dhadak raha tha [170 BPM], aur uski bhookh phir se jaag gayi.
Tabhi ek awaaz aayi—jaise koi bhaari cheez giri ho. Indrajeet ne apni jeb se ek chhota sa knife nikala, aur Karan ne ek pistol. Arjun ke paas kuch nahi tha, par uske andar ka werewolf jaag raha tha.
[180 BPM]
[190 BPM]
[200 BPM]
“Arjun, sambhal apne aap ko!” Karan ne dheere se kaha, par Arjun ka dimaag band ho chuka tha. Uske nakhun bade ho gaye, aankhein laal, aur usne ek jordaar attack kar diya—lekin wahan pe Bilal nahi tha, wahan ek purani machine thi, jo uske attack se tukde-tukde ho gayi.
Tabhi ek bhaari awaaz goonji—yeh Bilal tha. 6 foot lamba, muscular, uski aankhein ek jaanwar jaisi thi, aur uske daant chamak rahe the. “Tum log mujhe maarne aaye ho?” usne gurrate hue kaha.
Indrajeet pehle aage badha, knife leke Bilal pe attack kiya, par Bilal ne usko ek jhatke mein 10 foot door fenk diya. Indrajeet diwar se takra ke behosh ho gaya. Karan ne pistol se goli chala di, par Bilal ki skin itni sakht thi ki goli uska kuch nahi bigad saki.
Arjun ka khoon ubal raha tha. Usne Ananya ka khayal apne maan mai laeya—uska tight black top, curvy figure, aur woh innocent smile. [210 BPM]. Usne Claw Drain activate kiya, aur Bilal pe jhapat pada. Ek jordaar laat uske chehre pe maari—CRACK! Bilal ke muh se khoon nikalne laga, aur Arjun ka Health recover hone laga [+10 HP].
Par Bilal ne Arjun ko pakad liya, uske shoulder pe kaat diya—CHOMP! Arjun ka khoon behne laga [-20 HP]. Arjun ne apne daant Bilal ke gale mein ghusa diye, aur Claw Drain ka asar dobara chalu kar diya [+15 HP]. Dono ek doosre ko jaanwaro ki tarah maar rahe the, factory ke andar khoon ke chheente ud rahe the.
Kabhi Bilal Arjun pe bharu padh raha tha kabhi Arjun Bilal par bharu pad rah tha, lekin Arjun ki skill ki wajah se uski health badh rahi thi aur woh heal hota ja rah tha.
Lekin Bilal ki halat khatab hoti ka rahi thi, uska blood lose jayda ho rah tha. Aur woh abh thakne bhi laga tha. Usne apni poori takat ke saath Arjun ke face par ek punch marna chaha, lekin Arjun ne uska punch apne hath se pakrd liya aur ek jordar hunkar bhari, Bilal is hunkar se jaise dar gaya. Aur Arjun ne iska faida utha kar ek jordar punch uski shati pe de mara aur Bilal udta huya machino se takrata huya door jaa gira.
Karan ne Indrajeet ko uthaya aur chillaya, “Arjun, uska gala kaat do!” Arjun ka dimaag band tha, lekin woh apni puri raftar ke saath adhmari halat mai gire Bilal ke paas gaya aur usne apni puri taqat se Bilal ke gale pe ek final panja maara—BAM! Bilal ka sar kat kar zameen pe gir pada, uska sharir doori taraf gir gaya, ekdum shant.
[Quest Complete: Bilal ko Rok diya gaya hai]
[Reward: 50 EXP]
[Level 3 Reached!]
[New Skill Unlocked: Bloodlust Surge]
Arjun ka sharir kaanp raha tha. Usne apne haathon pe Bilal ka khoon dekha aur socha, “Main monster ban gaya hoon.” Par Karan ne uske kandhe pe haath rakha, “Tune sahi kiya, bhai. Yeh zaroori tha.”
Factory se nikalte waqt, Arjun ki nazar ek aur graffiti pe padi: “Dark Legion Rising.” Uske dil mein ek naya darr jag gaya—kya Karan isse sabki ek message dena chahta hai ki yeh hamari gang ka kam hai?
Milte hain agle update mein, aur dekhte hai kiya hai Arjun ka naya skill!
