The Wolf of a Dark Age

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.

Strange Vision

Comfort was a feeling that was difficult to describe. What Yun Lei was currently experiencing, he could only describe as comfort.

When he opened his eyes, he was someplace he was very familiar with but he just knew that it was not reality. Rows of bookshelves blocked the sunlight streaming through the window, the gentle scent of spring floated in along with the wind. It was the place where he had spent most of his life: the Ren Family's library.

"Have you woken up, Young Master?" The woman whose lap he had been laying on gently whispered.

"I have indeed, Ning'er." Yun Lei softly replied.

"You always fall asleep so easily."

"Do I?"

"Yes! You fell asleep as soon as I got here and then you kept sleeping and kept sleeping."

He let out a small chuckle when he realised that this was a conversation he had already had in the past.

"Young Master, do you enjoy making me lonely?" Su Ning said with a playful pout.
