All across the mortal Universe

Everywhere in the mortal universe, a loud howling sound echoes for all to hear. Whether there are people there or not. Whether there’s even air or not.

The sound echoes regardless.

Every single person, monster or otherwise, that hear the sound immediately stops whatever it is they were doing and steps outside if they’re not already outdoors. Then a strange wave of red and black energy fills the skies of every world. Energy that quickly morphs into strange floating screens high in the sky.

Some of these worlds have people on them that immediately recognize the woman shown on the screens clutching her chest in pain as a dark crimson light radiates out from her entire body originating in each of her veins and her heart. And those all immediately begin cheering for the Wolf of the Blood Moon, the Goddess of Blood, or whatever other terms their world came up for their saviors.

On the other hand, the worlds that don’t recognize her freeze up in both surprise and terror at the unexpected event.

Even the void creatures stop moving to stare at the screens.

But no matter what happens, the woman in the screen who is letting out a pained howl despite being humanoid in appearance doesn’t show any hint of recognition of it. She just continues to howl out her pain as the glow radiates through her clothes. Through her eyes. And through her very skin.

Soon enough, though, the howling slowly begins to decrease in volume as the gradually forming sphere in the center of the woman’s chest fully forms a single circle. Glowing through her clothes.

Then the sphere begins to move outwards from within her chest until it leaves her body entirely in the form of an eerily glowing crimson jewel. One perfectly spherical in shape and with a terrifying scent of blood that radiates all throughout the universe. A scent so powerful that it immediately knocks out anyone who is not already Class I. Including both humans, demi-humans, non-human sapients, animals, and void creatures.

The remaining people who weren’t knocked out, on the other hand, focus all of their attention upwards at the screen, unable to bring their gazes away from the jewel. And all those beneath Class III immediately begin to show strange signs as crimson veins begin spreading from their eyes.

But they, too, fall unconscious before the veins can spread far. Then the veins all retract, fading again without leaving any signs of their existence.

Silence soon dawns on the entire universe.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Until it’s broken by a faint pulse sent out from the sphere. A pulse that warps reality around the sphere, creating fractures in space that begin to leak blood that turns into a faint mist spreading throughout the air.

Then a second pulse is sent out of crimson energy.

And a third.

And with each pulse, the reality around them fractures. The very space within which the sky is located shatters, bringing different types of blood oozing out of them.

This continues happening until the blood begins to push both the sphere and the woman’s body out into space and beyond. With the screen following them both.

Then the blood filling the space around them begins to join together to form one large sphere. A sphere that grows larger and larger by the second as more blood joins it.

Soon the sphere grows so large that it is comparable to a moon in size. One made out of glowing red blood.

But the screen still focuses solely on the center of the moon, where the sphere and woman are both located. Only for the woman’s body to have one glowing red fracture after another emerge on her body. All the way till she falls apart to nothing but red ash.

The orb continues to pulse, though, filling the moon with more and more blood.

Everyone watching this terrifying event stays silent, merely spectating as history is made. As the first being advances to Class VI in the mortal universe, whether most of them realize that’s happening or not. The System only warning those within the System itself about it.

After several minutes, the screen zooms out to show the entire moon. A moon that begins to morph slightly until it takes on the form of a wolf’s head. One with its eyes narrowed as if upset about something.

But the wolf’s head doesn’t last long as a strange shattering sound echoes all across the universe, originating from the space around the sphere. And the sphere itself falls into the void along with the moon.

Yet the screen continues to follow them. Showing a safe place within the void untouched by void creatures.

A place where all of the blood in the blood moon begins to shrink down as it’s absorbed within the strange sphere. All the way till the only thing remaining within the dark void is a single glowing orb. One almost jewel-like in appearance.

Then strange lines begin to snake out of the orb, branching off as if to form a network of veins in a human body. And soon after, bones are formed. Followed by glowing red blood, muscles, and the rest of a human woman’s body. One with two wolf ears and a red and black tail. With glowing crimson veins spread across the woman’s body, and two closed eyes. With long black hair streaked with red highlights and a censor bar on the screens to cover the woman’s body. One that quickly fades after clothing appears on her form.

The clothes look the exact same as what the woman was wearing before her body turned to red ash.

But every single eye watching the screens immediately narrow in on several marks scattered across her body. Marks that glow crimson straight through her clothing.

A white flame symbol on each eyelid. The head of a wolf on the center of her back. And a glowing red full moon on her chest.

Without her eyes opening, the woman’s body slowly moves through the void at a slow pace until it reenters the universe again.

Then everything stops the moment she does. As if every being within the universe begins holding their breath at the same time.

Only releasing that breath when the woman’s eyes finally open, revealing those same white flame symbols on her eyes beneath the eyelids.

And the moment her eyes open, every last being within the universe feels their own blood tremble.

As if their blood was excited.

And so, the reign of the Wolf of the Blood Moon truly begins.
