In the heart of the Indian wilderness, within the lush confines of the Chitwan wildlife Reserve, a hidden cave concealed the wonders of nature. Here, two majestic she-wolves stood guard over a precious nest of newborn wolf cubs.
Among these precious bundles of fur, one stood out conspicuously, a pristine snow-white wolf cub named Karna.
As Karna gazed upon his furry paws, he contemplated his unique existence. Once an ordinary white-collar worker in the bustling city, his life had taken an unexpected turn. After a fateful night of relentless toil, he slipped into an inexplicable coma.
Upon awakening, he found himself unable to open his eyes, trapped in a world of darkness and silence. His cries for help were met with the gentle, reassuring touch of an unknown presence.
Only today did he regain the gift of sight and hearing, and the world revealed itself in all its natural glory. A sense of comfort and gratitude washed over Karna as he realized the pristine beauty of his surroundings. However, the sight of the gray and white wolf faces surrounding him left him bewildered.
It was clear that he had undergone a profound transformation, reincarnated as a wolf. The transition from a human life to the existence of a wild gray wolf cub was a stark contrast. The familiar comforts of human life had vanished, and Karna grappled with his newfound identity.
Living the life of a wild wolf cub was fraught with danger, especially without the support of human caretakers. The survival rate of a wolf cub without human intervention was a mere 50%. Karna, once shielded by the comforts of his previous life, now faced the unforgiving wilderness.
Yet, he accepted his fate with a sense of relief. Having grown up an orphan with no ties to his previous life, his meager savings were destined for the orphanage. Karna embraced his new identity, knowing that he had the strength to adapt.
As he rose to his feet, he was gently reined in by his mother, a magnificent gray and white she-wolf. Wolf cubs of their age were still helpless, unable to venture far. Karna, the first to open his eyes, directed his gaze toward the cave's entrance and contemplated his future.
In a few months' time, he would join the pack on their hunts, relying on his own skills to secure his meals. Survival in the unforgiving wilderness demanded strength and resilience, qualities Karna resolved to acquire.
Suddenly, a creaking sound from outside the cave interrupted his thoughts. Karna, his two guardian she-wolves, turned their attention to the source of the noise. A trio of gray wolves emerged from the dense forest, their leader radiating strength and authority.
This leader, Karna's father in this life, bore silver-white eyes that glinted with a piercing coldness. The two wolves accompanying him were Karna's elder siblings, seasoned hunters that supported the pack.
In the realm of the wolf pack, Karna's family held a special place. Their small size was a testament to the challenging environment in which they lived. The pack had experienced significant trials and battles in the past, leading to their expedited reproduction to rebuild their ranks.
Father Wolf and his companions brought forth their prey, a prize from their day's hunt, to the cave's entrance. Karna's mother approached Father Wolf affectionately, while the other female wolf respectfully kept her distance, respecting the pack's hierarchy.
This social order was integral to the pack's harmony. The Alphas, the leader couple, held the highest rank, followed by the Betas, often the leader's siblings. Beneath them were the Omegas, the lowest-ranking wolves, often the weaker individuals in the pack.
As Karna's mother was a high-ranking wolf, the other female wolf dared not intrude on the intimate moment between the Alpha wolves.
After the exchange of affections, Mother Wolf cast an eager glance toward the remains of their hunted prey. The female wolves responsible for feeding the cubs required substantial sustenance.
Father Wolf, understanding her needs, let out a resounding roar before digging into the prey. Mother Wolf followed suit, and only when they had eaten their fill did the other pack members approach to share the spoils.
Once the adults had finished eating, they turned their attention to the wolf cubs, ensuring their nourishment.
Karna, with his keen eyes and unique position, secured the best spot to feed. After enjoying a hearty meal, he returned to the hay and slept soundly dreaming and eager to build the foundation for his future as a wolf.
Gradually night passes and morning arrived.
The Sunlight bathed the cave in a gentle glow as Karna continued his exercises. He felt a warmth coursing through him, a sensation that had become familiar in the wilderness.
This warmth seemed to intensify under the sun's worm yellow gaze. Though unaware of its significance, Karna welcomed the soothing energy.
At the afternoon arrived on, Karna's body reached its peak of warmth. This energy converged within his eyes and erupted into a brilliant, ethereal display.
A radiant, translucent panel appeared before him, adorned with a celestial aura.
