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>Hearing the old man speak, Yun Lei squinted his eyes before speaking.  </p>

<p>"Your Majesty, before, we had a reasonable quota of a short sword every 3 days and we could also take that time to work on other essentials like farming tools. However, because of the war, we have been forced to work on nothing but weaponry. Creating two swords in a day is something only master smiths could accomplish, whereas the majority of our numbers are barely good enough. Because of that, most of us aren't even being paid in full and cannot fulfil our other responsibilities. We cannot keep working in such conditions."  </p>
