1Sword2Peaks

Ren Lei is the fourth son of a minor noble family and the son of a concubine to boot. Being born a cripple, the only thing he has is beauty; beauty that caused him much suffering growing up in a house where no-one loved him.

As if that wasn't enough, he was about to be sold off in a political marriage to a woman who had everything he didn't, the Princess of the Ether Cloud City, full of not only beauty but with immense talent in profound cultivation. 

Refusing to submit to his fate, as a final act of rebellion, in a desperate bit to retake what little control he had over his own life, he chooses to consume poison and commit suicide.

However, the fates are not so kind to those that would try to change it. He survives but suffers from a strange condition that causes his soul to separate from his body. As he slowly loses the constrains of a physical body, he is forced to look at himself more closely and recognise who he truly is. Not only must he struggle against the destiny devised for him but also his true nature: a calamity whose howl will wipe the slate of an era clean, ushering in a new dark age.

The Wolf of a Dark Age

Yun Lei sat under a gondola, sipping some tea. 


It was the best tea he had drank in what felt like ages. Although he wasn't much of a fanatic for tea, he could certainly appreciate it if it graced his tongue.  


In front of him lay several books he had just read. Despite what she saw last time, it appeared the receptionist still wanted to test him. He was fine with that. One had to put in some effort in order to gain something. 


Because of what had happened in the morning, Yun Lei knew that the mother and daughter couldn't stay in the potato village any longer. It was only a matter of time before someone noticed that the tax collectors were missing. From there, it was a simple matter of determining the point where they were last seen and roughly deducing the area where they could be.
