He Sold His Soul for a Crown... and THIS happen

Elesin was once a land of joy — a village blessed by the gods, where farmers harvested plenty, traders prospered, and laughter echoed under the moonlight.

But everything changed the night a child was born. From that moment, the rains stopped, the markets failed, and fear spread like wildfire.

The people, blinded by desperation, blamed the innocent newborn and cast him and his parents into exile.

What Elesin did not know was that the true curse sat on the throne. Their king, greedy for eternal power, had bargained with dark spirits, trading the blessings of the land for his crown. While the boy and his family built a new life in another village, Elesin sank deeper into ruin. Crops died, rivers dried, and hunger haunted every home.

Years later, the truth returned. A wandering oracle exposed the king’s secret, revealing the dark covenant that doomed Elesin.

The people wept, realizing they had cast away the innocent and embraced the guilty. But destiny is like a drumbeat — it may be delayed, but it cannot be silenced. The exiled boy, now a wise and strong man, returned not as a curse, but as the savior Elesin never deserved.

This is a tale of betrayal, revenge, and redemption. A story that reminds us that greed can blind, fear can mislead, but truth always rises in the end.
