World 3: Part 1: Bark For Me

'WELCOME TO WORLD 3 HOST!'

Yang woke up because of the cold water touching his skin. His body feels very weak and fragile. He slowly opened his eyes. The place was so unfamiliar, it was different from the two worlds. There is a long pathway, and next to it there are various small huts.  The place was crowded, it was like a market. Yang curled up on the ground. It was raining so hard and he was very cold. His stomach growled in hunger.

{Author? Are you there? What's my identity here?}

AUTHOR: I am here, I'm just waiting for you to wake up

{So? Why am I like this? My body feels sick and heavy}

AUTHOR: Okay, you can now analyze the situation

Yang pressed the pen hanging on his neck, the system flashed green as the hologram popped out.

'You are Xiao Wu, 21 years old, the younger son of Xiao Clan, but due to some tragedy in the past, your clan vanished. You are homeless, you have no relatives. Most people here consider you crazy, but of course you are really not. You are here because you want revenge. Your nickname is Wuwu'

{And my sexuality? Alpha? Omega? Don't tell me I'm a beta this time?!}

AUTHOR: Probably, your a beta

{Thank you so much..I will not struggle with this heat and pheromones thingy}

AUTHOR: Well...good luck 

"Make way!!!!"

The thick crowd suddenly vanished when the loud voice dominated the area,everyone cleared the pathway and then they all bowed their heads.

"The master of the Ru Clan is here!! Bow your heads if you don't want to lose it!!" The guy with a beard in front, guiding the carriage yelled with all his grumpy voice.

Yang stood up from the alley,he was very dizzy and his body was wobbling down. His eyes widened when he saw a new fresh baked bread fell from the old woman's basket, he immediately grabbed the bread that had fallen on the road. He didn't know what's gotten into him but he was so hungry right now.

"Get out of my way you crazy prick!!" 

Only he realized that he's not the only one in there, there are also other people like him, beggars without food. But Yang was not in the mood to feel pity for them, he grabbed the other side of the bread as he yelled "I saw that first!" The growling sound once again escaped his stomach. They scrambled until they rolled on the road.

Two burly men hovered in front of them. The rain had gotten heavier and louder, they barely noticed that they had reached the middle of the pathway.

"You dare block the master's way!!!" They yelled with their fiery eyes, the man who had just been fighting for bread with Yang immediately ran away. Yang was left there ignorant.

A kick landed on his stomach, it caused him to curl more on the wet ground. "How impertinent!!" 

Yang looked around and then unusual sounds bang his ears.

'Is that Wuwu?? The crazy prick?"

"Pity him, he's been like that since that day"

"Wuwu is such a brat!"

"Good for him"

The murmuring voices continue, some are laughing at him secretly while the others are gazing at him with all their disgust.

"Stop!!!" 

Everybody froze to their feet when a roaring voice from the carriage came out. It was from the Master of Ru Clan. Who would have thought that the great master will stop everything? He was known for being dominant and ruthless. He misses no mistakes. He kills those who should be killed and punishes those who should be punished. That's the Ru Clan's number one rule. They are known for having no mercy. He is Ru Xian, the merciless prince.

Yang stood up, this is his chance to escape. 

"Bring him to the palace with me!" Ru Xian ordered, the two burly palace guards dragged Yang with them as he struggled up, another punch landed on his face, he totally lost his consciousness.

When he woke up, he was laying on a hard bed made of wood. He sat up and roamed his eyes. He is in a small cell,alone. He stood up, there was a clanging sound coming below him. He jolted when the cold steel touched his skin, one of his legs was chained. Its length is just right up to the grate.

He walked towards the cold iron bars "Hello?!" His voice echoed back like he was in an underground. The place was made of hard bricks, no windows. And it looks like only candles serve as ambient light, or maybe a torch?

"Hello??!!!" He yelled again, his voice echoed back once more. "Anybody home?!" He said again, he secretly smiled as he found it amusing to do. 

AUTHOR: Okay enough...you are not a kid

{I'm enjoying it though ehehe...you said I'm crazy in this world,right?}

AUTHOR: -__-

Yang was so busy entertaining himself with the echo, he didn't notice the heavy footsteps coming on his cell. 

"Shut up! Will you?!"

He was stunned when a hard object hit his head."Ow!" He squealed. One of the palace guards hit him with this long spear-like item from their waist.

Yang rubbed his head "What's wrong with you?!" He snorted

"If you don't want to be beheaded then shut your mouth! You crazy prick!" One with a beard under his chin exclaimed

Yang just grinned at them "Oh? Then do as you please,humph!" He crosses his arms "I'm spending my quiet life in the streets, who dragged me here? It's you!" He said pointing his index finger on them "And now you're blaming me for being a headache?! How annoying!" He added

The bearded one clenched his fist "You!" He was going to punched Yang that time, but the other guard stop him "Enough, you know we're just here to check on him" he said in a calm tone

"Tch! I don't know what Master Ru saw in this madman?! It seems like he was so interested in him" he said as he loosen his fist

The other man covered his mouth "Don't you dare say that, are you doubting the Master's decision? 

Yang grinned, a naughty smile drew on his face "Ohoho? I don't hear anything...I promise" he said like he was so proud of himself but in his deep thoughts he was trying to scare them, a blackmail maybe.

The bearded man frowned as he grabbed Yang by the collar "You think you can use that to blackmail me? No one will believe you, mad prick!" Yang fell on the floor when the guard pushed him

"That's enough...let's go" then the two of them vanished in his sight.

Yang dropped himself on the floor, hands on his head. He stared blankly on the ceiling "Gahh! I'm so sick of staying here!" He exclaimed

AUTHOR: You better prepare for the worst

Ru Xian parted the curtains,it led his sight to the beautiful scenery of his old grandfather's garden. His eyes were fixated at the blooming magnolia tree, it was prized for their large flowers that perfume the balmy spring air with a sweet, heady fragrance.

The meditating sound coming from the rocks under the pond are really meditating. Ru Xian closed his eyes.

Three knocks were suddenly heard behind the door. "Enter" he ordered. Every year, there is a Suan Ming taking place inside the palace, to announce what is in the prophecy. The faith of the next ruler.

An old woman came inside, kneeled in front of him "Master Ru, This is what the prophecy says, the savior and the one who will sacrifice for you has come." She said

Ru Xian turned his gaze to the old woman "Is that so?"

The old woman bowed her head two times "You shall be grateful for he is the only one for your faith" 

Ru Xian frowned "And what does he have to do with my faith?"

"You shall cherish every moment with him Master Ru, he is the answer to your darkest nightmares" 

Ru Xian stopped the moment he heard the word 'HE' for the second time. The Suan Ming never failed and he knew that it wasn't lying. He is already a full 25 years old dominant alpha, but he has never experienced a relationship.  Although many women approach him flocking around, no one dares to make a skinship with him. It was because of his illness, preventing him from human touch. 

After drowning himself in his own thoughts,he cleared his throat "You can go now, Thank you"

The old woman stood up "May the kingdom win prosperity" then she bowed her head and left.

Ru Xian was left there alone, facing the window with deep thoughts. The corner of his mouth twitched into his cheek,a devilish smirk. He enveloped his arms into his wide-sleeved robe.

"My faith?" He chuckles "Let's see what he can do with it"
