Beginning of the cursed Love

In the ancient kingdom of Varanthia, a land wrapped in mist and old magic, there was a prophecy whispered for centuries.

“Every kingdom, every soul, every star—

he would burn them all just to keep her.”

The man tied to that prophecy was King Vishnu Varathan, feared across lands as VV — the ruthless dark king whose name alone could silence a battlefield. Kingdoms trembled when his army marched. Stories said his heart was colder than the cursed mountains that surrounded his empire.

But there was one truth no one knew.

Even the most feared king had a weakness.

The Princess Who Ran Away

Far away, in a golden palace across the sea, lived Princess Abishara, known to the world as Abi.

Beautiful, strong-willed, and born to rule — yet she felt trapped inside the palace walls. Her life was already planned: a political marriage, a crown she never asked for, and a destiny written by others.

One stormy night, she did the unthinkable.

She ran away.

Throwing aside the jewels and silk, Abi escaped into the wild forests bordering the forgotten lands — the same lands ruled by the king everyone feared.

The Dark King.

The Kingdom of Curses

VV ruled a kingdom touched by ancient magic — a kingdom cursed generations ago. The curse made the king powerful, but it chained his soul to darkness.

And there was only one way the curse could ever break.

Her.

The girl destined to change everything.

Abi.

VV had known of her long before she was born. The ancient prophecy spoke of a girl whose heart could either destroy his kingdom… or save it.

From the moment she entered the cursed lands, VV felt it.

Like fate pulling at his soul.

Forbidden Love

When Abi first saw him, she felt fear.

The tall figure in black armor, silver embroidery across his coat, eyes darker than midnight.

This was the man mothers warned their daughters about.

But when he spoke, his voice carried something unexpected.

Pain.

“You shouldn't have come here,” VV said quietly.

Abi lifted her chin.

“Maybe I came exactly where I was meant to.”

Days turned into weeks.

The ruthless king who burned cities for betrayal became strangely gentle with her. And the princess who feared him began to see the man behind the legend.

A man cursed.

A man alone.

Loving Him Dooms the World

But their love came with a terrible truth.

The prophecy revealed something darker:

If Abi chose Vishnu, the curse binding the kingdom would break… but the balance of power between kingdoms would collapse.

War would begin.

Loving him could doom the world.

Yet walking away would destroy him.

The Crown in the Sea

One night, standing on the cliffs where the cursed kingdom met the raging ocean, Abi made her decision.

She removed the golden crown she once ran from.

Without hesitation…

She threw it into the sea.

“I choose my life,” she said softly.

VV watched the crown disappear beneath the waves. For a moment he said nothing.

Then the feared king — the man who terrified kingdoms — laughed.

A free laugh. A wild one.

He stepped forward, pulled her hand, and dragged her straight into the crashing waves.

“Then let the world burn,” VV whispered against her forehead.

“As long as you stay.”

The New Legend

From that day forward, the world feared the name VV even more.

But whispers changed.

They no longer said he ruled with darkness.

They said the ruthless king had only one weakness.

Abi.

And if anyone ever tried to harm her…

Not a single kingdom would survive his wrath.
