Once upon a time, Shesha, the king of the Naga clan, ruled the coastal areas of the island of Sihala.
At that time, the Nagas had to face a great war with the Yaksha clan, who were ruling the other side of the island.
On the verge of crowning victory over the Nagas clan head, King Shesha was stubbed in his back by his beloved one .

Maya closed the book she was holding.
"Why is this chapter so short?" Maya said, looking at the clock hanging on her living room wall.
"Oh! It's already nine o'clock? I've been so engrossed in the story that I don't even know how long it's been!" Doubting herself, Maya got up from the chair she was sitting on and hurried to her room.
She walked towards the bed, fixing her short neck-length hair.
Next day, Maya and her best friend sahana got up early and got ready to go to the office.Maya spent the rest of the day thinking, "When will I return home? When will I read the story?" After returning home from the office, she hurried to read the story.
Minutes turned into hours, and she was oblivious to the fact that she was reading the end of the story. Curiosity flowed in her eyes like a never-ending river.
Every inch of her lips trembled, and her heart raced so fast. Every minute felt like hell; she couldn't control her anger and emotional breakdown.
"Why did she do this to him?" Maya said, her eyes holding tears like shells holding pearls. She continued to read the story.
"Tears flowed from his eyes like an inexhaustible waterfall. Blood started oozing from his chest. The pain of his beloved's betrayal was greater than the pain in his chest.
Moving his bloody lips, he said, 'I have lost everything for you that I should not have lost. However, I was comforted by the fact that you were there for me, but today, I did not expect that you would be the reason for my last moment.' He closed his eyes.
A great light appeared in front of him, and vanished him . His body, his soul blended with thin air," she finished reading the last page of that story book written by the author.
...
Maya furrowed her eyebrows. She couldn't accept the fade of that story. Maya turned and looked up and down at the last page of the book with wide eyes.
"WHAT THE HECK!!....THIS IS THE END....???? , DID I SPEND MY FIFTY DOLLARS TO BUY THIS BOOK TO READ THIS KIND OF STUPID ENDING ??, eh?? HAS THIS WRITER GONE CRAZY WHEN HE WRITES HALF OF THE STORY?? WHY SUCH AN ENDING TO BREAK THE HEARTS OF THE READERS !! I DON'T WANT THIS KIND OF ..." Maya screamed.
That whole night Maya struggled to sleep.
She was very tired and worried.
"I didn't expect this, poor King Shesha, the only big mistake he made was that he truly loved her," Maya whined while lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling.
Then she turned to her right side, then to her left side, and again and again she turned to both sides, not feeling sleepy at all.
Suddenly she got up from the bed and sat punched several times her soft white pillow, poor pillow bear that all punches.
"Argh!!! How dare this writer is, he must be crazy, he killed Shesha unjustly!" She screamed, scratching her head.
"If only I had been a character in this story, how could I have saved Shesha and changed the ending of the story?" she said without realizing it.
As soon as she said those words, she felt dizzy, and her eyes started to blur. Without knowing it, she fell onto the bed and fell asleep.
In no time, it was as if someone had splashed water on her face. She opened her eyes Fastly.
"Hey! Wake up! Wake up!" said an old woman with gray hair. Maya got up without any hesitation, looked around to see where she was,
"What are you looking at? Get ready to work!" said the old woman.
Maya looked the old woman up and down. Her clothes were very different.
"Why is this old woman wearing royal traditional clothes in this era?"
Looking at her, Maya asked in a soft voice, "Grandma! Where am I?Why did you wearing traditional clothes in modern era"
The granny, who heard Maya's question, looked ger up and down strangely.
"What? Has this girl lost all her old memories? What! If not, have I suddenly become an old woman? She looks at me and calls me grandmother," she thought to herself.
"Don't you remember that ! You have been here to work as a maid, and you arrived here a months ago." she continued.
"I am not a grandmother; you can't call me that here. You have to call me Madam Suji. I am the one who supervises that you all are working properly," she said and looked at Maya's face.
Hearing what Suji said, Maya felt dizzy.
"What? a royal palace...!!! Have I really entered the story? No, no, no chance; I'm dreaming. Pinching myself will be fine," she thought to herself, pinching her hands alternately.
"Ouch...Ouch..., it hurts! Oh, it hurts!"
She looked at Vijaya's face as she thought to herself, "What shall I do now?”
"Suji madam, can you do me a favor?" she asked.
"Tell me what you want; I'll do it if I was able to do it."
"Can you slap me on my cheek?" asked Maya.
Suji blinked her eyes twice. She was shocked by Maya's request, but without thinking any other things, she suddenly slapped Maya on the cheek. Maya's cheeks turned like cherries.
"Why did you ask me to slap you?" she asked.
"Just want to make sure that I was breathing or not," Maya replied.
looking at Suji,she asked, "What should I do now?"
"Go and wash your mouth first. I can't stand the bad breath!"
"Why are this generation kids so bad? I'm very disappointed," she sighed while turning her face and left the place.
Hearing what she said, Maya moved up the corner of her right side of her lip. "Such a boomer!!" she said,
came out from where she was, and looked at the sky.
The sky was covered with black and looked so blank.
"What the heck is this! Not only did they wake me up before dawn, also told me to work! I don't like being here at all! I have to go back to home
While thinking about that Maya walked towards the lake that was situated in the backyard of the mansion.
“I can't bath in cold water! Hehe..! Fortunately I know the secret hot water lake in the backyard that mentioned in the story, I will take a comfort bath in there! No one gonna know it!” Maya got close to the lake.
She bent down to wash her face.she saw the reflection of her face in the crystal-clear water, her eyebrows shot up. She touched her cheeks, exclaiming,
"What the heck! I just turned into a teenager! Wow, this is the only cool thing after this transmigration. I really missed my teenage features so much."
She dipped her feet in the lake, sat on a pad in the lake, and washed her face by scooping water with her hands. The scent of jasmine flowers mingled with the thin air, touching Maya's soft, cotton-like body.
Maya removed her clothes and jumped into the lake, beginning to swim. Her body feels warmness of the water mixed with the strong aroma of water lilies.
"Ehs!" she sighed, "In every fantasy novel, girls transmigrate as beautiful and powerful ladies, but me! I'm just a lowly maid. Even in this fictional novel, I'm still a single potato!" she said while scrubbing her body aggressively with her hand. Suddenly
Maya sensed something moving inside the lake.
Her heart began to pound. Her body started to shivers.
"Who is there...?" she asked, with trembling voice.
As she prepared to swin away, she felt someone grab her wrist, pulled her back.her eyes wide in shock.
"Please don't kill me, please don't. I don't want to die so soon!" she pleaded, her eyes tightly closed.
