It was a peaceful weekend at Hogwarts. Birds chirped, students laughed, and for once,Raja wasn't causing utter chaos.Well, not yet.

Instead, for the first time in hisentirelife, Raja wasasking for permission.

Dumbledore nearly dropped his lemon drop when Raja waltzed into his office and said,"Old man, I need permission to visit Gringotts."

The room went dead silent.

The portraits on the wall collectively gasped.Even the Sorting Hat slid off its shelf in shock.

Dumbledore, stroking his beard, stared at Raja as if he had just confessed to being a responsible adult.

"My dear boy," the headmaster finally said, "this is... surprising.Whyare you asking for permission?"

Raja, dramatically placing a hand over his heart, sighed."Old man, I am a Supreme Wizard King now. I must uphold my dignity. I cannot simply break into banks anymore."

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with amusement. "A noble sentiment, indeed. But why do you wish to visit Gringotts?"

Raja's expression turned serious. "During my previoustotally-not-a-heistin Gringotts, I felt a mysterious vaultresonate with my magic and blood.I need to investigate."

Dumbledore's amusement disappeared instantly.A vault that reacted to Raja's magic and blood?That could mean only one thing—somethingancient and powerfulawaited inside.

With a knowing nod, Dumbledore agreed. "Very well, my boy. I shall accompany you. After all, you are still a minor."

Raja felt an ominous chill run down his spine.Dumbledore tagging along meant he'd be monitoring everything.

So naturally, Rajaimmediately clarified his terms.

"Old man, I swear, even if there's amountain of goldinside that vault, Iwill notgive you a single Knut."

Dumbledore chuckled. "Understood, my dear Supreme Wizard King."

When Raja and Dumbledore arrived at Gringotts, their presenceimmediately caused a commotion.

Rita Skeeter, ever the nosy reporter, appeared out of nowhere. "Mr. Raja! Professor Dumbledore! What brings you both to Gringotts today?"

Before Dumbledore could eventhinkof a diplomatic answer, Raja smirked andwent full dramatic mode.

"We are investigating the legendaryDark Lord's Payback Heist!"

The goblinsperked up immediately.

Theinfamous bank robberswho had pulled off the most chaotic heist in Gringotts history? Dumbledore and Raja investigatingthem?

The goblinslovedthis idea. They quicklyoffered their full cooperation.

The Head of Gringotts himself guided them through the crime scene.

Raja examined the area withgreat seriousness.He studied the broken vaults, observed the scorch marks on the floors, and inspected thegiant dragon-sized footprints.

Raja played the role of a detective, confidently explaining how the crime occurred, almost as though he were the one who committed it. This impressed the goblins, who believed Raja would certainly catch the "Dark Lord Payback" team.

Then, confidently, he declared,"The thieves did not come for the Death Eater vaults. That was merely a distraction.Theirtruetarget was somethingfar deeper within Gringotts."

Gasps echoed through the bank.

The goblinsstared in awe.

How did he know?!

Dumbledore, arms crossed, watched Raja withmild exasperation.

"It's almost like you werethere,"he muttered.

Rajapointedly ignored him.

Instead, he followed theimaginarypath of the robbers (which just so happened to behisexact path during the heist).

And just as planned, this route led themstraight to the mysterious vault.

When they reached the hidden vault, it resembled the secret vault of the "Padmanabhaswamy Temple".(check the comments for photo)

Before them stooda massive vault door,resembling something like a Door that shows you theWay to the Under World.

The intricatetwin dragon carvingson the doorshiftedas Raja approached.

Then, suddenly—

Raja's magic flared uncontrollably.

The runes on the vaultglowed, responding to his presence.

Dumbledorestepped back in shock.The goblinsnearly fell over.

Then, without hesitation, Rajareached out and touched the door.

"WAIT—!" Dumbledore shouted.

Too late.

The vaultswung open.

Raja, completely ignoring everyone's protests,strolled inside like he owned the place.The door slammed shut behind him.

Inside the Vault

Maya's voice rang in Raja's mind.

"Raja, this vault is ancient... but the treasures inside are even older than the vault itself."

And what atreasure troveit was.

Mountains ofgold, jewelry, artifacts,andancient bookslay before him.

But Raja walkedright past all of them.

His eyes were locked on aMysterious Red Door looked like Boss Room of Solo Leveling.

A single inscriptionwas carved into it:

"Drop a drop of blood from the chosen one."

Raja, naturally,did not hesitate.

SLICE.

A single drop of blood hit the door.

The entire roomshook.The doorglowed brightlybefore creaking open.

And at the center of the chamber,floating in midair,was anancient grimoire.

Raja grinned."Now, this is my kind of treasure."

Raja walked toward the grimoire as if he were a king. But as soon as his foot touched the red carpet, animmense magical pressurebore down on him. For the first time in hisreincarnation, Raja felt theweight of someone else's magic.

Hisultimate bodyreacted instinctively, meeting the challenge withextreme adaptability and control.Despite the immense pressure, Raja continued to walk forward,a beast-like grin spreading across his face as he surpassed his limits.

With each step, the pressure intensified, but Raja pressed forward likea beast determined to conquer.As he neared thegrimoire, something inside him shifted, and it felt as thoughinvisible shacklesthat had bound him were suddenly broken.

And then—

The pressurevanished.

Raja blinked."Maya, what just happened?"

Maya's voice wasannoyinglycasual.

"Oh, you just evolved from an ultimate human to a demigod. No big deal."

Raja:"...Excuse me?"

Maya added,"Let's look into it further once we leave the vault. For now, let's open the old book. I'm curious about it too."

Raja reached out and touched thegrimoire.

The moment his fingers made contact—

A massive bearded old man appeared out of the grimoire.

The old man blinked at Raja, then hiseyes widened.

"At long last... my descendant has come to retrieve me! But wait..."

The old man squinted at Raja.

"Child, whatrace are you? You look like someone from...Jambudvipa!"

Maya:"Oh. This is going to be fun."

And with that, Raja's adventurejust got even more ridiculous.
