Virat: Abandoned by Destiny

Narrator

"Liza's death..."

"Was no longer..."

"A secret."

"What was once known..."

"Only to Restart Village..."

"Slowly spread..."

"Across the entire continent."

"And with that news..."

"Greedy eyes..."

"Began to awaken."

Liza had left behind...

Countless treasures.

Ancient knowledge.

Forgotten mysteries.

Secrets whose value could never be measured...

By gold.

Or even...

By kingdoms.

To those with noble hearts...

Her legacy was something to protect.

But to those consumed by greed...

It was nothing more than...

A treasure waiting to be claimed.

Among those who heard the rumours...

Some corrupted priests within the Holy Kingdom...

Quietly reached a decision.

One of them slowly spoke.

"Now that Liza is gone..."

"Everything she left behind..."

"Should belong to us."

The others silently nodded.

Not one of them questioned those words.

Yet...

There was one problem.

Restart Village...

Was far too important to the Holy Kingdom.

Every single day...

Its villagers performed an ancient purification ritual.

A sacred ceremony passed down through countless generations.

The purified river flowing from the Death Forest...

Provided clean water to thousands of people throughout the kingdom.

If anything happened to Restart Village...

Or if the King discovered their scheme...

The entire operation would end before it even began.

Because of that...

Everything had to remain hidden.

This mission...

Would proceed...

Without the King's knowledge.

A high-ranking officer of the Holy Kingdom...

Was secretly placed in command.

Alongside him stood carefully selected spies...

And elite soldiers.

Men chosen not only for their strength...

But also for their discipline.

Before departing...

They received only one set of orders.

"The villagers..."

"Must learn nothing."

"The Royal Court..."

"Must learn nothing."

"No unnecessary bloodshed."

"Leave no witnesses."

"Retrieve the target..."

"And return."

The room fell silent.

Every soldier bowed.

Without another word...

The secret mission had begun.

Far away...

The sun slowly descended behind the distant mountains.

Golden light spread across the peaceful land.

The sky gradually transformed...

From gold...

To crimson...

To deep violet.

The day quietly surrendered...

To the coming night.

The cool evening breeze gently drifted across Restart Village.

Children finished their games...

Laughing as they hurried home.

Smoke slowly rose from the chimneys.

Families gathered together for dinner.

Everything felt peaceful.

Everything felt safe.

Beneath the old banyan tree...

V...

T...

And Kai...

Laughed together without a single worry.

Their cheerful voices echoed across the quiet village.

For them...

It was simply another ordinary evening.

Another peaceful day.

Another precious memory.

None of them realised...

That beyond the village boundary...

Hidden within the shadows of the dense forest...

Several silent figures were watching them.

Not a single branch moved beneath their feet.

Not a single leaf made a sound.

Only pairs of cold eyes observed the peaceful village from the darkness.

One soldier quietly whispered,

"...So this is Restart Village."

Another carefully scanned the surroundings.

"Everything appears peaceful."

"The villagers suspect nothing."

Their leader remained silent for several long moments.

His sharp gaze slowly swept across every house...

Every narrow path...

Every face.

As though engraving the entire village into his memory.

Finally...

He spoke in a calm, emotionless voice.

"Tonight..."

"We only observe."

His eyes slowly shifted toward the distant outline of the Death Forest.

After a brief silence...

He gave his next order.

"Tomorrow night..."

"We take our first step."

Without another word...

The shadows silently retreated into the forest.

Their figures disappeared among the ancient trees.

As though they had never been there.

Meanwhile...

The laughter beneath the old banyan tree continued.

T chased Kai around the tree with a wooden stick in her hand.

"You can't catch me!"

Kai laughed.

"Oh really?"

"Just wait until I become serious!"

V watched them with a gentle smile.

For a brief moment...

The entire world felt peaceful.

None of them knew...

That darkness had already begun moving toward them.

The evening slowly gave way to night.

One by one...

The lights inside the village homes flickered to life.

Families gathered around their dinner tables.

The comforting aroma of warm food drifted through the cool air.

Parents called their children home.

Doors quietly closed.

Restart Village settled into another peaceful night.

Far away...

Beyond the reach of the village lights...

The hidden soldiers silently continued their retreat.

Not one of them looked back.

Their mission had already begun.

The village simply...

Hadn't realised it yet.

"Not every storm begins..."

"With the clash of swords."

"Some storms..."

"Send only shadows first."

"And while a village sleeps peacefully..."

"Darkness has already..."

"Made its first move."
