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

<p>After Kwok and Yun Lei had finished activating the remaining talismans, the camp had fallen into silence. Every once in a while, the former would take a swig from his waterskin, while the latter would munch on a piece of jerky. But other than this, neither of them made any noise. Kwok simply had nothing to say, and Yun Lei was deep in his own thoughts.  </p>

<p>And this silence persisted until a few hours had passed after the sunrise, only to be broken by the half understandable mumbling of Laoshu, who had just woken up. The other two hunters weren't far behind, waking up right after him. All three of them appeared to be disoriented and confused.  </p>
