The Stench of Time

Three thousand years after the Kurukshetra war, a hooded wanderer rots his way through a rain-choked jungle. When bandits corner an old man and his daughter, he cuts them down in a blur of steel—only for his “rescued” victims to retch at the smell of his decaying, undying flesh. As he retreats back into the storm and tends to the eternal wound on his brow, the nameless stranger finally introduces himself: Ashwathama, the cursed immortal, doomed to walk a world that can no longer bear his presence.
