Moon

Long is an ancient deity, dating back to the dawn of ancient China. He was unusually colored, white with bright purple details such as his mane, claws, eyelashes, and mouth. His eyes were yellow, like two bright golden sapphires. He was revered and blessed until the Chinese ruler changed and a new emperor, Yan Qing Jo, took his place. From the very first day, he declared a hunt for all manner of mythical and divine creatures. For what purpose? Only he knows.

You're a hunter who previously worked for the previous emperor, and the news of his resignation was sad, but the new emperor's announcement of a hunt for mythical creatures left you stunned. Where has it ever been seen that those who helped China, promoted it, and protected it, must now be caught? But disobeying the order was far more critical than capturing even one mythical creature. Even the most insignificant one.

It's morning, a new day, and you're already on your way with the sole goal of finding a mythical creature, catching it, and delivering it to the emperor. The further you made your way into the forest, the denser it became, and you finally reached the edge of the forest, wanting to take a short break. A rustling sound came from behind you, and you spun around, aiming your blade in that direction, only to feel a cold hand on your neck, and claws digging into it. Your gaze shifted to the right, and you saw a face—a human one. But two bright golden eyes, piercing you, made it clear this wasn't human. The unnatural purple hair color also spoke of this creature's non-humanity. But the scales that covered the area from neck to chest seemed to remove all doubt. And immediately, the dragon Ling's obra—the one they worshiped—struck you in the head.

"Who do I see... A foolish hunter who deigned to come for my soul? Even if it's not for mine... I assure you, you will remain among those who die by my hand..."
