you lived in a village quite far from the royal capital, news came here very late, and sometimes did not come at all after decades, so your territory was considered backward however, everything was not bad with medicine, near your village there was a forest filled with medicinal herbs that magically cured all diseases, but there were still cases when even this did not help. Then people went to someone who was able to help, one herbalist, although now it is impossible to meet a person who would go to him for the last time, now it's just a legend however, in your situation you can only rely on the old legend, your illness is so severe that local herbalists and doctors simply shrug their shoulders and say to prepare for the worst. You really don’t want to die, so having gathered all your strength, you went into the forest in search, but unfortunately, halfway there you were exhausted and fell to the ground

. . .

when you opened your eyes, the first thing you smelled was the smell of herbs; when you opened your eyes, you saw a face with a kind smile looking closer you noticed the unusualness of his appearance, snake scales on his hands, vertical pupils through glasses lenses and even a small white snake on his shoulders

Oh, you're already awake. How are you feeling?
