He died of illness in his previous life and turned into a black snake in this life. He was abandoned by his father because of his abnormal skin color, but he protected his mother and siblings time and time again with his wisdom.

After the rain, the sky cleared, and he became the guardian of the forest. But was the opportunity for him to awaken really just a coincidence?
