Bjorn sat in the back seat of the car, knees drawn up, staring out the window as trees blurred past. Up front, his mother's voice broke the silence.
"Where are we traveling to this time, dear?"
His father chuckled. "It's a surpri—"
WEEE-WONK!
BOOM!!
The crash came out of nowhere. Metal twisted. Glass shattered. The world flipped sideways.
And as it did, through the chaos and screaming tires, Bjorn saw something that would haunt him forever—
A woman. Standing by a flickering roadside light. Watching.
Still. Silent. Unblinking.
> They said it was an accident. A freak crash. But I remember… someone watching.
---
When he woke up, everything was different.
He lay in a cold hospital bed, face bruised, stitched at the lip. Machines beeped rhythmically. A nurse moved in the background, more shadow than person.
> I survived. Barely.
---
After the hospital, there was no reunion. No home.
Just rain.
A small, gloomy house waited at the end of a gravel road.
> After the hospital, I was sent to live with my uncle.
They gave him the room nobody wanted. Just a thin mattress. Peeling walls. Dust.
> They gave me the room no one wanted.
At the dinner table, everyone ate. Except him.
"You're too late. No food left," his aunt said.
> I wasn't family. I was the crash they didn't ask for.
---
Time passed. The storm inside him grew.
He sat by the cracked window, watching. Thinking. Burning.
> He stopped hoping. He started planning.
He knew the layout of the house now. Knew where his uncle kept the cash—hidden deep in the drawer.
> He knew exactly where the money was.
One night, while the rain poured and thunder grumbled in the distance, he packed his things.
He didn't look back.
> He didn't vanish. He escaped.
By morning, his uncle's shouts echoed through the house as he discovered the empty drawer.
> They never saw him again.
---
Out in the rain, a boy walked alone.
From the shadows, unseen by him, the silhouette of the old woman appeared again.
This time, she was smiling.

Chapter 29:The Wolf Beneath the Crimson Moon
The camp had become a furnace.Rain-soaked earth hissed beneath the spreading flames as burning canvas collapsed inward, sparks drifting into the damp night like dying stars. Smoke clung low to the ground, thick and bitter, crawling through the torn tents and shattered lanterns of the Lust faction’s compound.Bjorn moved through it like a wounded animal refusing to die.Mia’s hammer roared past his face, the wind of it tearing through his tangled hair. He twisted aside, boots sliding in wet ash as the weapon slammed into the soaked soil with a violent crack. The ground shuddered. Bjorn answered with a low swing toward her ribs, but Mia pivoted smoothly, her body turning with the grace of someone who had fought countless battles. Her second hammer came in fast from the side.Bjorn raised his forearm to intercept.Pain exploded through his injured wrist.His guard faltered for half a heartbeat.The hammer glanced off his shoulder, forcing him backward through a curtain of smoke.

chapter 28: a face to bite, a name to curse
They say beauty is a blessing. They lied. Beauty is a weapon — and I was born holding it. I bent the world with a glance,made gods and beasts alike kneel for a touch they could never keep. Even in this cursed realm, thrown here by that wrinkled witch, I believed my charm would conquer everything. But then came the two who would not look at me. Lucien ......pride carved into flesh. A man too immaculate to be tempted. And Bjorn......the broken wolf, silent, scarred, and maddeningly indifferent. Their refusal was a wound… and a challenge. I craved the taste of what denied me. To chase Lucien is to chase war......and I am not a fool who wastes her soldiers before Walpurgis. So I chose the smaller beast. The one who defies beauty itself. The one who makes my hunger feel human. --- The drums had gone quiet. Only the wind spoke now— a low, rhythmic moan that slipped between the torn veils and half-burned lanterns of the Lust camp. The moon bled down like an opene
chapter 27: the critic and the flame
The eve of Walpurgis dripped crimson beneath the moon. Its light seeped through the thin fabric of the Sloth faction’s tent — a slow pulse of red that moved like breath.Inside, the air was dense with the scent of herbs and burnt incense. The canvas walls sagged slightly, weighed down by damp mist. A small brazier hissed weakly in the corner, giving off a lazy glow that barely chased the shadows away.Aira sat on a mat, her fingers tracing the rim of a half-empty cup. The world outside murmured — distant laughter, the crackle of torches, the restless wind.Her gaze drifted toward the flicker of light that cut through the tent’s entrance.Bjorn’s name still echoed in her mind — captured by the Lust leader.Her heartbeat quickened. For a long moment, she didn’t move. Then, quietly, she began to rise.The shift of fabric, the creak of the floor mat — that was enough to stir the figure reclining on the couch nearby.Lan, the Slot
chapter 26: eve of the red moon
(volume 2)The night before Walpurgis bled quietly into the Lust faction's camp. Moonlight dripped through torn silk canopies and broken lanterns, painting everything in shades of pale desire and decay. Perfume and blood mingled in the air — sweet, cloying, wrong. Bjorn stirred. His body screamed in protest. Every muscle felt torn. His wrists were swollen and raw, skin rubbed bloody where the ropes had bitten too deep. He'd fought before — tried to break free when they first dragged him here — but exhaustion had conquered rebellion. Now he hung against the log, bound by thick cords slick with sweat and rain. His breath came in short, cracked bursts. His vision swam. The world around him was sound before shape — laughter, whispers, the faint rhythm of drums somewhere in the dark. He blinked. And then he saw them. Figures — dozens of them — forming a half-circle around him. The Lust
chapter 25: the strong survive
The night air was heavy, the echoes of music and drunken cheer still spilling faintly from the great hall. But outside the dojo gates, the mood was far colder.Seven disciples stumbled in through the courtyard, their robes dirt-stained, their lanterns dim. Faces grim, they bowed low before the dojo master, their leader stepping forward.Disciple (bowing, voice low):"Master… we searched the roads, the riverbank, even the shrines in the woods. Ashura… he was nowhere to be found."The words rippled through the silence like a blade.Lan clenched his fists, teeth grinding. His voice cracked with restrained anger as he turned to his father.Lan:"Father, this is why I told you to let me go myself! You think your disciples could bring him back? He's my brother — I would've found him!"For the first time since the duel, the dojo master rose fully from his seat. His presence silenced even the murmurs of the crowd still lingering in the hall. His eyes were sharp, unyielding, and his words rang
