Mystic Demon

Eight hundred years of war. Countless dead. Empires reduced to names no one remembers. And at the end of it, Dao Ling — the White Demon, the monster without a side, the man who massacred his way across a century of battlefields — died in the mud holding a pearl and whispering an apology to someone who could no longer hear it. He woke up in the past. Young. Weak. Alive. He told himself he would do things differently this time. That he would find her before the war found her. That he would keep his hands clean. He told himself that. What he did not know — what the pearl had never promised — was that the world had not gone back. It had moved forward. And everything waiting for him in this unfamiliar future was something he had never lived through before. Love, in its truest form, is not warmth. It is the specific weight of something you are no longer able to protect — and the lengths a man will go to carry it anyway. This is the story of those lengths.
