Pathana, a powerful shaman, uncovers a mysterious iron chest hidden within a dragon's hoard, only to unleash a self-referential narrative loop that threatens to consume reality. When the magical scroll resists destruction by physically replicating itself, Pathana realizes that the story is alive and seeking a conclusion. Through a harrowing ritual of internalizing the narrative's ashes, he enters a desperate bargain to become the vessel for the tale. This mind-bending fantasy explores the thin veil between the teller and the told, as Pathana transforms a recursive curse into a shared legend that echoes across time and space. It is a haunting meditation on the power of stories to both possess and liberate. Comparable works include The Neverending Story
