One day, I became a hatchling

I… am a divine beast—an Imugi of the Black Dragon! Kkyua!!!! A 999-year-old Imugi, just one year away from ascending, is unjustly killed… only to awaken as a one-year-old hatchling?! Thus begins a second life, with all the memories of the past fully intact. Experiencing unconditional love for the first time, he slowly—then completely—melts into it. Surrounded by love, he forms bonds, expands his world, and sets out once more on the path to becoming the dragon he could not be in his previous life— the second life of the hatchling “Rune” begins! PS: Imugi: A creature from Korean mythology. It’s basically a giant serpent or dragon-like being that hasn’t become a true dragon yet. An Imugi spends hundreds or even a thousand years training or enduring trials, and if it succeeds, it can finally ascend and transform into a full dragon. Hatchling: A very young creature that has just hatched from an egg—like a baby bird, reptile, or dragon.
