Title: The Serpent's Curse

#Story :

Lucas, an ambitious adventurer, discovers an ancient temple dedicated to the serpent god Naga, whose power to grant wishes comes with a devastating curse. Driven by greed, Lucas wishes for immortality but unknowingly seals his soul to the serpent’s power. Trapped in a realm where time moves differently, Lucas watches as centuries pass, unable to escape the consequences of his desire. However, a mysterious woman named Maya appears, offering him a chance at redemption. Together, they seek to break the curse by confronting the serpent’s power and discovering that true freedom comes from letting go of desires. With the curse broken, Lucas is finally free, having learned the cost of unchecked ambition and the value of personal growth.
