1 Despairing Dream and Reality 18+ (1/2)
Three days after slaughter.
Prime Minister took power in his hands and proclaimed the end of the monarchy. This marked the end of the existence of the Divine Moon Empire. Prime Minister Bai Chen issued the order to kill the former prince, now known as criminal and traitor, Blood Moon Demon - Yue Wu You. Everyone in the empire (including officials) believes that it was the former prince, who killed his family.

Bing city. Approximately 500 li from the border.
In the pub. The smell of alcohol, cigarettes and the smell of puke was so horrible that even pigs would instantly faint. Truly worth of title 'Worst Pub' in the city. At least, it was cheap there.
''Have you heard the latest news?'' one of the middle-aged drunkards asked the youngster.
”What news?” asked the young man sluggishly.
The former only rolled eyes on him and said, ”News about Blood Moon Demon.”
”No,” said the young with a strange glow in his eyes, ”But, I believe you will tell me.”
”It's said that Blood Moon Demon assassinated the whole unit, that was chasing after him,” the man took a deep breath and continued, ”Rumors say that not even bones were left behind.”
[What the f*CK?!] Youngster cursed inwardly and almost choked. [HOW THE HECK CAN I ASSASSINATE THE WHOLE UNIT WITHOUT ANY TRACES?! Do they not know I am CRIPPLED?!]
Yes, this guy is the former prince, the Blood Moon Demon, Yue Wu You. Despite his current appearance, he is actually 15 years old. He is trying to get out of the country, but it is impossible for the current him. Reason? Well, the border is strictly guarded and he is crippled.
”As If I would believe you,” sneered Yue Wu You, ''He is only 15, how it is for him to kill the whole squad?!”
Drunkard laughed, ”Have you forgotten that he stole the Moon Slaughtering Twin Swords? With its help, it is quite possible.”
[STOLE MY ASS!! My dying father gave it to me and begged me to run.] Wu You was trying to control his anger, if not he would die from excessive anger and grief.
He gritted his teeth, tossed 3 copper coins to the owner. He ignored the drunkard, took his swords and left the bar, slowly strolling in the night.

Yue Wu You awoke. It was late at night and he was startled.
[What is it? Why am I feeling uneasy?] Said Wu You to himself and decided to check it out. He walked through his courtyard, but something was off. He looked outside and there was nobody, not even his personal guards! Everyone disappeared.
[Why is nobody here? What is happening?] At first, he thought something was but now he was scared. He knew something happened.
[I must find father and mother.]
Yue Wu You walked through the palace, but there was nobody there, so he picked up the pace and anxiously ran to his parents' courtyard. But when he walked in he dropped down on his knees in disbelief and utter despair.
