Free Web NovelChapter 61: New Level
The next morning felt strangely quiet compared to previous days.
No stadium.
No commentary.
No crowd chants.
Just early sunlight entering Sahil’s room.
---
But mentally—
everything had changed.
---
District trials.
Tournament fame.
Scout recognition.
System growth.
---
And for first time—
Sahil genuinely felt like cricket was becoming bigger than school fun.
---
His phone notifications were still exploding nonstop.
Followers crossing 500K.
Final clips still trending.
Sports pages uploading analysis videos.
---
But today—
Sahil ignored phone completely.
Instead—
he picked up bat silently and walked toward terrace.
---
The system activated automatically.
Bright blue interface spreading wider than ever before.
Far more detailed.
Cleaner.
Sharper.

Real competition.

But instead of fear—

Because deep down—
he wanted bigger cricket now.
