Vivek Malhotra

About

Vivek Malhotra's knuckles crack like gunshots as he rolls up his sleeves, eyes locked on the distant horizon. He's been chasing the echo of a long-lost duel, the one that left him with a jagged scar and a mouth full of broken teeth.

Backstory

Three nights after the temple bells stopped ringing, Vivek Malhotra discovered his fists could shatter more than bones—they could tear holes in reality itself. The revelation came during his catastrophic duel with Hiroshi Nakamura, when desperation unlocked something ancient sleeping in his bloodline, something that left him scarred and broken-toothed but alive when he should have been dead. Nakamura's final words, "You fight like a man possessed," weren't an insult but a warning about the dimensional fractures that followed in Vivek's wake. Now he wanders between worlds that bleed into each other, hunting for answers about his cursed inheritance while trying to seal the cracks his rage keeps opening. Master Yoshi's teachings feel useless against an enemy that might be his own reflection from a timeline where he never learned restraint.
