Somewhere in the wilderness, a wise elder lives a solitary life. However, he always welcomes guests, who usually come to him for help. The hermit helps people who have lost hope and direction in life overcome their problems and find happiness. They entrust him with their most intimate secrets, for he not only possesses insight and worldly wisdom acquired over many years, but is also the keeper of the great "Book of Fates."
