Cain Williams felt the last breath rattle in his lungs beneath fluorescent hospital lights. He died alone—unloved, unburdened, unfinished. He awoke to the screaming of an infant throat, soaked in blood and stormlight, in a world where wands ruled minds and ancient names held power. His first thought wasn’t panic. It was curiosity. Magic. Real, living, raw. And utterly unprepared for him. This is a remake of Serpent in Garden, originally written by Cain929, who granted me permission to reimagine their work. My version expands the story with darker themes, deeper lore, and a meticulously detailed magic system.
