Teaser of an upcoming release~. (Patreon)

A full silver moon shone in a clear night sky, powdering the word with her gentle silver light. She shone her soft light on the world, protecting all living beings from the fearful darkness that devoured the world at night.

However, some would wish that tonight the moon hid so that they wouldn’t witness the scene before them so that the darkness protected their sight and allowed them to ignore the suffering before them.

In a luxurious state, the normally polished and immaculate gate was blasted open. The thick metal gates were bent like something punched them and broke them with brute strength.

There was a rock path that led to a big and spacious building. This path was cracked as if a being with enormous strength had walked across, breaking it with the sheer weight of their cultivation.

Dead guards with rotting bodies were littered on the sides with brutal wounds, clearly overwhelmed by the strength of the human that had broken into this luxurious state.

The main entrance to the biggest building had been broken down in a similar way to the entrance gate.

After crossing that door, one reached the insides of this luxurious state. The once immaculate and polished white marble walls were now filled with cuts, holes, and blood. More corpses lay around; some were female, some were male, some young, some old. Nonetheless, even if they were different, their ending had come the same way and on the same day.

When going deeper into the state, sounds began being heard. They were a melody created with the clash of weapons.

“How!? How have you become so strong!?” This was the lamenting and anguished voice of a man. His tone was an amalgamation of negative feelings: grief, anguish, anger, regret, melancholy, and the most prominent one, despair.

“HAHAHA! Do you regret it!? Now it is too late! I'm going to kill every single one of you; everything you have stained will perish today! Then, I will add you to my army! Be glad of becoming my first Undead! HAHAHAHA!” The voice that answered the man came from a female. You could hear her insanity through her voice. Moreover, her beautiful face was distorted in a wild smile, and her eyes were gaining a red tone as if they were being stained by the purest of bloods, looking more ominous by the second.

Behind the man, there were a lot of women and children looking at his fight. Even if they wanted to help him, they were too weak to do anything against the powerful woman that had come to disrupt their peaceful life. One child, a daughter of the man, shouted. “You can do it, dad! Beat that bad woman!”

The man and woman fighting heard her. The man shouted, “Don’t worry, little princess! Dad will win this fight!”

The crazed woman’s smile became even wider, becoming almost face splitting. The man had a bad feeling rising up, but by the time he reacted, it was too late. The woman kicked his stomach, sending him flying backward hundreds of meters and smashing through some of the walls. The man reacted fast and shot back toward the woman quickly, but he saw her charging toward his daughter. “NOO!!”

The woman laughed crazily as she reached before that child without anyone being able to react. The mother of that child miraculously reacted and put herself in the crazed woman and the child’s way. “Please, stop this madness-!“

But... Before she could call the crazed woman’s name or end her pleas, under the despairing shout of the man and the screams from all the other women and children, the crazed woman’s sword shone with a black-greenish light, piercing both, mother and daughter, mercilessly and without any hesitation.

The little child only had time to look down on the sword lodged in her chest that impaled her across her mother before the ominous black-green energy made her body decay instantly and killed her painlessly, transforming her into dust.

The mother was much stronger than the child, so she didn’t die instantly.

She was currently looking incredulously at the woman who had stabbed her and her child, the woman who previously was so close to all of them and had laughed, loved, cried, and supported them like a second pillar besides their husband.

As life left her body, a sobbing whisper escaped her mouth, looking at the reddish eyes of the woman with extreme anguish. “Why did it have to end like this…?” However, before she could say the woman’s name, her life escaped her body, and she became a corpse, joining her daughter in the afterlife.
