Synopsis
In a world where power dictates life, Chirag was born without it—an anomaly among humans, who are already weaker than demons and rulers. Raised by demons, he knows nothing of love, except the cold touch of survival. But everything changes when Siya, the demon king’s daughter, sees something in him. With her love, Chirag’s strength grows, and he begins to unlock powers that defy the laws of nature. As Chirag’s abilities soar, he finds himself caught in a battle between the rulers, the gods, and the demons. To claim his place in this brutal world, he must confront the truth of his immortality and the price of love—a price that could destroy everything he holds dear. In the end, it’s not just his power that will be tested, but his heart. Can love truly transcend the boundaries of life and death?

Chapter 1 - short summary

"Immortal in Your Love"

In a vast world split into three kinds of beings—humans, demons, and rulers—power decides everything. The rulers sit at the top, god-like beings with endless strength. Demons are powerful too, known for their pride, strength, and their own dark lands. Humans, the weakest, live in fear, ruled over by both demons and gods, and often looked down upon even by themselves.

In one small human village, a boy named Chirag is born. Like all children, he is tested for magical power when he turns twelve—the age when powers usually awaken. His parents expect great things from him, because even without magic, Chirag is smart, kind, and curious. But their hopes are shattered when they find out he has zero power. In their world, a human without power is worthless.

Afraid and ashamed, Chirag's parents take him to the village head. The man coldly tells them there's no place for someone like Chirag, and suggests killing him or leaving him to die outside the village. Chirag's parents choose the second option. They abandon him in the forest on the edge of their village. Cold, hungry, and heartbroken, Chirag hides in a broken-down house, surviving on whatever he can find.

One day, a girl named Siya passes by. She's not human—she's a demon, and not just any demon. She is the daughter of the Demon King, one of the strongest beings in the world. Out of curiosity, she approaches the ruined house and finds Chirag sitting alone. When she asks why he's there, Chirag throws stones at her, angry at the world. Siya dodges them easily, but one stone hits her, and she softly says, "Don't throw stones—it hurts." That one sentence stops Chirag in his tracks. No one had shown him kindness in so long.

Apologizing, Chirag comes out and tells her everything—his parents, the village, his lack of power. Siya listens quietly. Then, without hesitation, she asks him to come with her. Chirag is scared and refuses at first, but eventually agrees. Siya brings him to her world, to the demon lands. Her family is against it—demons don't usually help humans, especially not powerless ones. But Siya defies them. She believes in Chirag and decides to live away from her family just to be with him.

They build a quiet life together. Over the years, they cook, study, and grow together. Chirag learns about the demon world, and though he still has no power, he becomes skilled, smart, and wise. He loves Siya deeply, though he never says it. Siya, on the other hand, slowly falls in love with Chirag—not because of his strength, but because of his heart.

By the time they are seventeen, they are inseparable. One day, Chirag decides he will finally tell Siya how he feels. He goes to buy flowers, but no one will sell to him because he's human. So, he sneaks into a garden and picks a rose himself. But when he returns, he finds a powerful ruler standing before Siya, threatening her.

The ruler has discovered that Siya holds a rare, immortal magic—power that could make someone nearly unstoppable. He has come to take it by force. Siya, seeing no way to protect Chirag, makes a decision. As the ruler attacks, she throws herself in front of Chirag and transfers all her power into him. Chirag watches in horror as she collapses, blood on her lips, whispering, "Now you have everything. Protect yourself. Live."

In a moment of rage and heartbreak, Chirag unleashes the new power within him. He doesn't even understand it, but it responds to his emotions. He defeats the ruler—a feat that was once impossible for him. He picks up Siya and tries to take her to a hospital, but no one helps. Everyone turns him away.

As she lies dying in his arms, Siya tells him one last thing: "I will always be with you, in the form of this power. You are not alone." And then… she dies.

That night, Chirag cremates her and keeps the rose he meant to give her. Grief fills him, but something else starts to grow too—a hunger for power. He believes that if he becomes strong enough, he can find a way to bring Siya back.

He starts traveling. No village welcomes him. No god listens. No one helps. Finally, on the edge of a desert village, a crazy old man stops him and says, "You want to bring someone back from the dead? Then kill the one who controls life—the Top God."

That sentence changes everything.

Chirag begins training. He learns how to absorb power—every time he kills someone with magic, their power becomes his. For two years, he trains like a demon, hunting down powerful beings, defeating them, and growing stronger. His body changes. His heart becomes colder. The once-kind boy is now something else entirely.

When he returns to his childhood village, they still see him as worthless. They try to kill him out of fear. This time, he doesn't run. He kills everyone—his family, the village head, all of them. With every soul, he gains more power.

That is the beginning of Chirag's dark years. He becomes a force of destruction, wiping out humans by the millions. In just two years, he destroys 95% of the human world, becoming known as "The Demon with the Heart of Ice." The gods watch from afar, terrified. No one dares to stop him.

Finally, the Top God speaks. He commands his best warriors to protect the remaining people. When they confront Chirag, he hears a voice—Siya's voice, still echoing in his mind: "You've changed. This isn't you."

But he pushes it away.

Two gods appear at Chirag's old home. They tell him the Top God wants to meet. They open a portal, and Chirag enters the godly realm. There, the Top God offers him something shocking: "Become my Supreme Guard. Work for me, and I will reward you."

Chirag refuses.

In a flash, he kills the Top God's four guards—beings stronger than most gods. The other gods flee in fear. Only five remain with the Top God, including the one who killed Siya. The five gods try to fight Chirag together. Chirag, using just 25% of his power, defeats all of them, but chooses not to kill them—except for one. He brutally kills the one who took Siya's life.

Then he looks at the Top God and says, "I don't want war. I want her back."

The Top God, surprised, asks, "Why go so far for one person?"

Chirag replies, "Because she was my world. More than anything. Even more than you."

Seeing his pain, the Top God agrees. But there's a condition: Chirag must defeat him in a fair battle. For two days and three nights, they fight. The sky burns. Mountains break. Reality twists.

Finally, the Top God stops. He tells Chirag, "You've won. Not because you're stronger… but because your love never broke."

He asks Chirag to give up all his power in exchange for Siya's life. Chirag doesn't even hesitate. "Take it. Take everything. Just bring her back."

The Top God smiles. Not only does he bring Siya back, but he also offers Chirag three wishes. Chirag uses them to:

1. Revive the god he killed out of rage.

2. Bring back the four guards.

3. Heal and revive the villagers he once destroyed.

The Top God is impressed. As a final gift, he lets Chirag keep his power, and gives Siya her own strong magic. Peace is restored. Siya and Chirag return to the village, where, for the first time, they are welcomed with open arms.

Later, the gods ask the Top God why he spared Chirag. He replies, "You all thought I was using 90% of my power… but Chirag was only using 75%. If he wanted to destroy us, he could have."

Back in the village, Chirag finally proposes to Siya with the same rose he picked years ago. She smiles and says yes.

And so, after a lifetime of pain, love, rage, and redemption… they finally live, side by side, in peace.

The End.
