Our Curse ✅
This story has been running in my brain lately. About the great sons of Mahabharatha warriors getting cursed to live a painful life in the cruel time of Kaliyuga. This story mainly concentrares on the first borns of some of the renown Warriors of Mahabharatha namely Karn, Arjun and many more. It's a fun story with different point of views and if you find a story similar to this probably it's a coincidence. This story contains some crazy and unimaginable stuff and also purely fictional. There would be some dialogues in hindi. Do give this story a chance if you think it worth it. »»--⍟--««»»--⍟--««»»--⍟--«« Abhi : Bhai I swear I just came to a birthday party.

Gandiva : Before The Rise Of Kalki [Reincarnated As Dhananjaya Arjun 🦚]
Cover credit: 444-av (A kind soul from reddit, who helped me out. Thanks a lot🩷) Parth, a teenager from the year 2071, never believed his dreams could rewrite fate - until he woke up as Arjun of the Mahabharata. But destiny plays strange games. In a universe where Kurukshetra never happened, Parth learns that he isn't merely reborn as Arjun - he is Arjun himself, reborn across timelines. Guided by his Madhav's unseen hand, he enters a world where Karna sits on Hastinapur's throne, Kunti's truth is no longer a secret, and peace reigns where war once should have. His grandmother, the quiet woman he'd known all his life, turns out to be Satyavati herself, reborn to witness the world she had once dreamed of - a world where her dynasty did not bleed itself dry. Between love and duty, Parth lives the lives Arjun was denied - the laughter with Draupadi, the tenderness with Subhadra, and the quiet fulfillment of a wish once whispered to Krishna. But the wish was never the end. It was only a beginning. Without warning, Parth wakes up again - this time in 2072, with no divine voices, no weapons, and no idea why he's back. Seeking meaning, he follows his father's path and becomes a doctor, vowing to help those he can. Until strange things begin to stir. Disappearing students. Electric static that hums like divine energy. Symbols that glow. And the faces around him - Sia, Aarav, Neel, Avni, Meera - feel achingly familiar, as if pulled from a life he once fought beside. As whispers of the seven immortals resurface and the shadows of Ghor Kaliyug creep closer, Parth begins to remember why he was reborn - not to escape destiny, but to lead what remains of the good into the dawn of a new Yuga. ●Past name- ■Reincarnated As Dhananjaya Arjun(I regret changing it because of my attachment issue. Lol)
