Rara Jonggrang's Samsara
A sentence Lestari uttered on Satu Suro would unexpectedly trap her in a terrifying cycle of samsara. She had been reincarnated 99 times—as a neighbor's girl, his aunt, his sister, his cat, a snake spirit, his warrior, his servant, the spirit inhabiting his bracelet, a ghost, whatever—but always ended with the same fate: death at the hands of a man named Bandung Bandawasa.
In each of her lives, Lestari carried the burden of torturous memories. She remembered the cold feeling of his sword and keris piercing her heart, head, neck, stomach, basically her entire body.
Each death erased bits and pieces of her true identity as Lestari, a 24-year-old modern-day girl who loved reading stories and watching films about ancient Java, until finally her soul merged completely with the cursed figure, Rara Jonggrang, with her burning revenge.
In her 100th life, Lestari, who could now be called Rara Jonggrang, finally vowed to kill Bandung Bandawasa, the main cause of her suffering.
