Chapter 0: Prologue

“Dong dong dong”

An old man was beating on a gong, to attract people's attention. With the sudden sound, people started to pay attention, to the old man.

“Hello everyone, my name is Xin Mong and I am a storyteller.” Getting attention from the people around him, the old man, started to introduce himself.

“What is happening here?”

“He is a storyteller, I wonder what for story he will tell.”

The crowd that formed around the old man, got interested, when they heard who the old man was.

“Cough cough, ahem, dear people, my throat is quite dry...I wonder if someone could provide me with a little money” Seeing that the crowd was forming more and more, the old man wanted to earn a little money.

“Chee! A swindler again.”

“Don’t tell me you want to take our money and then tell us a shit story?”

“What? He want our money, before we even have listening to his story, does he think we are 3 years old kid?”

Hearing that the old man wanted to get some money, before he started to tell the story, the crown suspected that the old man was trying to trick them.

A white haired young youth in the crowd, went up to the old man and said.

“Greeting, Elder Xin Mong, may I know what for story you will tell me for this?” The white haired young man asked the old man, while picking a silver coin from his pouch and showed it in front of the old man.

Seeing the silver coin, the old man stretched his hand like lighting, took it from the young youth’s hand and put it in his own pouch.

“Young man, I will tell you a very good story, you will not regret that you gave me this money.”

“Ohh, what for story can it be, that you are going to tell me?”

“Hehe, I will you the story of the legendary Cerberus.”  

“I look forward to it.” Hearing that the old man is going to tell the story of the legendary cerberus, the young youth lips curved up to a smile. Thereafter the young youth bowed, with his hand cupped forward and went back to the crowd.  

“Please everyone be quiet, now I will begin the story” Said the old man and lifting his hand up and down to make the crow quite down.

“This happened long ago, when the ancient sect and immortals was still dominating the world. In that time, in the north, where the forest Crown laid, was a white wolf cultivating to be a human. The white wolf was a normal and ordinary beast that was called at that time “Black demon wolf”, but nowadays it’s call it for “Reaper wolf”. The wolf had cultivated for almost a 100 year and it only needed a few more year, until it could transform into a human.

Then one day, when the wolf was out to to search after elixer and beast in the forest, to increase his cultivation, he met “Snow tiger”. Snow tiger is a white tiger, on it back, there are crystal growing.

Those two beast had a fervor battle over three day and three night. In the end, the outcome was that the white wolf, could not keep up with the Snow tiger stamina and needed to flee with serious injure. Unfortunately, he could not run away from Big foot and could only run to the Mountain death ravine. But sadly, when he run in the mountain Death ravine, the ravine was coming down from the mountain and sweep him with it.

After he regained his sense, he discovered that he had come to a strange place. The surrounding was still covered in snow, but there were flower that grew on the snow.

He started to walk around aimlessly, when he suddenly discovered a pleasant smell. Following the smell he saw a white fox, lying in the middle of a snow platform, surrounded by various kind of flower.”

“Ahh, I already know what’s going to happen, the white wolf and fox fell in love with each  other and they lived happy, right? Peu, what a shitty story.” said someone in the crow, with a sneer.

“You little brat, don’t jump in when I tell the story. And the story will not end like your stupid conjecture, so shut your mouth and listen or get out of here, because other want to listen!” Getting interrupted, the old man, got enraged and shouted at where the sneer come from.

Hearing the old enraged shout and the surrounding disdain look, the person who sneered, lowered his head in shame.

“Now back to the story…” said the old man and continued with the story.

“Seeing the beautiful white fox, the white wolf lust, begun to rise. Drools run down from his mouth and he panted more and more. He went slowly closer to the white fox and thought about how he should assault it. When he snuggled closer to the fox, he imagined how the sensation he will get from it.

Of course, when the white fox felt that something come closer, it snapped it eyes open. What greeted it was a horny wolf.

When the white wolf saw that the fox had opened its eyes, he, fast like lighting licked all the drools and put up a face that showed “I am a gentleman and would never assault someone who is asleep”.

Seeing how the shameless white wolf was, the white fox twitched its eyes, stood up spread out its aura that meant “don’t come any closer, you pervert, or I will kill you”.

Failed to assault the white fox, he put up a smile and tapped slowly back from the white fox. And of course, the white wolf would not give up so easy. Right now, inside his mind, he begun to plan a method, on how to steal the white fox heart.

When the next day come, the white wolf appear once again, at where he saw the white fox. This time again, he tried to come closer and assault the white fox. But the same thing happened, like the first time, the white wolf tried. The white fox woke up and chased away the white wolf. But the white wolf had so thick skin, that he pretended like nothing happened and tried to gladly chat with the white fox. And this continued to for a few month.”

“Did the white fox never tried to kill the white wolf?” Someone in the crowd asked curiously.

“That’s a good question, but unfortunately, I don’t know the answer. No one know why the white fox, never tried to kill the white wolf. Maybe fate let them meet each other, that’s why the fox never tried to kill the white wolf and only chased the white wolf away. Lets leave this question that aside, for now.” Hearing the question from the crowd, the old man answered, that he didn’t know.

“After the white wolf repeatedly trying the same thing, every time, the white fox got accustomed to it and would wake up every time before the white wolf got a chance to assault it.

Then one day, the white wolf didn’t show up and the white fox though for it self, that it can finally get peace. And the second day come, and the white wolf didn’t show up this time either and so it continued. When the fifth day come and the white wolf didn’t show up, the white fox felt something, in it heart went missing.

Standing up, from where it were lying and cultivating, the white fox dashed out to where it last saw the white wolf go away.

Sniffing around and looking after any clue, the white fox tried everything, but it could not find anything. Running aimlessly around, the white fox searched desperately.

It knew that the region it’s in, is very dangerous, that’s why it have always stayed at the flower garden and cultivated.

The white fox continued to search after the white wolf, but after the third day, it decided to go back. Because it guessed that, maybe the white wolf had come back.

But when it come back, the flower garden was empty, like when it went out. There were no trail, of the white wolf coming to the flower garden. The white fox went to the middle of the flower garden, where the snow platform where and laid down, shutting it eyes and cultivated. But how much it  then tried to cultivate, it would remember about the foolish wolf, who would come everyday and talk with it. A tear run down from it’s eyes.

So after the day, that the white fox went out and didn’t find the white wolf, the white fox just laid down at the snow platform, surrounded by flower. It didn’t cultivate, didn’t cry, didn’t sleep, just laying there and waited for the white wolf.

Time went on, 1 month, 2 month, but there were still no, shameless white wolf, that appeared in front of her.

And on the third month, something come to the flowergarden….”

“Grurr~.”

“Hahaha, looks like my stomach is empty, let’s end this story today, I need to go and get some food now.” Hearing his own stomach making a sound, the old man put up a face that showed “it’s so sad that I have to stop the story, when the good part is coming” and stood up.

Hearing that the storyteller will stop the story and go buy some food, someone in the crowd shouted.    

“Someone, go and buy this elder Xin Mong some food. I will pay for everything. Elder Xin Mong, you don’t need to go and buy food, you can just continue with the story and the food will come after a while.”

“Ahh, if that’s how it’s then I will trouble you. Now I will continue with the story.” Hearing that someone will buy him free food, the old man expression changed into a big smile.

“So what come to the flower garden, was not a white wolf, but a blood red wolf. In the blood red wolf mouth was, ice phoenix flower and what surrounded the blood red wolf, was an extreme powerful aura. Even through the blood red wolf could not transform into human, its aura, could only be compared to the five mightiest beast.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Seeing the blood red wolf coming closer, the white fox stood up on alert and spread its aura. If their aura was compared to each other, the white fox aura was like, a water drop in a ocean.

Looking at the red wolfs eyes, there were no emotion, no sign of life, like a walking corpse.

Seeing the red blood wolf coming closer, the white fox could not do anything, the pressure from the red blood wolf aura, have made it impossible for the fox to run away.

The blood wolf come closer and closer to the white fox, in the end, they were only a step separated from each other.

When the wolf opened it’s mouth, the white fox thoughts, it would never be able to meet the white shameless wolf anymore and a tear fell down.

But an unexpected thing happened. The blood red wolf dropped the, ice phoenix flower on the ground, that it had in its mouth and fell on the white fox.

The fox was so surprised by the event, that it could not handle the weight, of the wolf and fell down, with the blood red wolf on top of it.”

“I have bought the food!” Said a boy that have gone to buy food, had come back.

“Here boy, take the money.” A rich man throw a gold coin, to the boy that went to buy the food and took the food the boy bought.

“But this is too much….” Seeing that he got so much money, the boy felt very happy. But he felt it was wrong, so he decided to tell the rich man, that he have paid too much.

“Keep it, just look at it like a tip.” said the man and with the food went to the storyteller.

“Elder Xin Mong, here is food for you.” With a smile, the rich man, gave the food to the storyteller.

“Thank you. I will continue with the story, when I am done with the food.” Accepting the food, the storyteller began to eat madly.

No one in the crown yelled at the storyteller, because they all wanted to listen to the story. Standing still, the all watched as the storyteller ate his food.

“Done, so let us continue with the story.” Eating all the food, the storyteller continued with his story.

“The white fox laid under the blood red wolf and didn’t dare to move. However, it felt very calm, when the wolf is on top of it and wanted to stay like that. Even though it should run away, it felt like it has, know this blood red wolf for a very long time.

Everything would have ended happily, if not for the blood red wolf, sleeps talking.

Hearing what the wolf talked in his dream, the white fox got up and kicked the blood red wolf away. Flying over five meter, the blood red wolf landed on the ground and woke up, and it’s powerful aura disappear, and what come out was it shameless aura..

Looking at its surrounding, the blood red wolf saw the white fox and tiptoed over to the fox. Putting up his most handsome smile, he began to chat with the fox, but what the white saw was a shameless smile.

Ignoring the wolf, the fox laid down and began to cultivate, which it hasn’t done for a long time. While the the wolf tried to catch its attention, it continue to ignore it, but there was a small smile, that appeared on its face

The wolf gave the ice phoenix flower to the fox, to increase the fox's cultivation. After that the wolf went and washed itself cleanly.  

The next day what appeared in front of the fox, was the white shameless wolf, again. And like always, the wolf began to chat with the fox, but he didn’t talk about the ice phoenix flower and neither did the white fox ask. And so did this continue, with the wolf sitting and talking with the fox, even though the fox never replied to it, and the fox lying and cultivating.

The wolf didn’t cultivate, even though it was only half a step, to transform into human. It wanted to transform into human, when the white fox does it.

And so did their peaceful day continue. Until the day, they both was about to transform into human.

When they were about to transform into human, seven colored lighting appear in the sky and struck the white fox. The white fox died and there were not a single remain of the white fox.

The white wolf knew why the lighting appear. The lighting appeared not because of something important, like they have violating a law. It appeared because, someone in the upper realm, played with them!

Getting enraged the white wolf, went mad. He went and did everything to be stronger, stealing, killing, he did everything!

And the they came when he had enough power. He went to the upper realm and questioned who it was that send the lighting down.

No one answered him, so he gave a warning to them all, but there were still no one who said anything. So he began a massacre, he killed everyone, innocent or not, he didn’t care. No one could go against him.

When they saw that they all will be killed, they said everything they knew, about why the seven colored lighting, hit on the mortal realm.

They said they got an order from the underworld, to kill the white fox, because the ruler of underworld wanted to see something fun.

Got to know the reason, the white wolf got even more angry. But he knew the strength he had was not enough. Because the underworld is protected by all element and there were over 100 different kind of element. So he decided to kill all the element and take their power.

And so he continued with his path, killing one element after one another, darkness, light, wind, everything became his power. But there were five element that escaped.

With the power he had, he opened a dimension to the underworld and there he began to massacre.

Even if the underworld had nothing to do with the white fox's death, he would still go there, to get the white fox's soul and revive the fox.

But to sadly, the fox's soul have already been broken into nine piece, by the ruler of the underworld.

The white wolf didn’t give up, he divided his souls into seven piece, every soul is one of his emotion. Those seven emotions are pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy, love, hate and desire. He used three of his soul.

The first soul he used it to repair the nine soul. He wanted to repair them into one whole soul, but he couldn’t do it.

The second soul, he made so the nine soul have connection with each other.

The third soul, he made so the nine soul could reincarnate with their memory. But it didn’t went as he wanted. The nine soul, could only be reincarnated after 1 trillion years and the  the memory that is sealed inside them, will only come out when they are gathered together.

He used three of his soul to guard the gate to the underworld. No living thing could come in and no soul could come out.

And so he stayed in the underworld and guarded the white fox's soul, until the white fox reincarnate.”

“Hahaha, so what do you people think of this story? If you like it you can give me a little money and I can answer a few thing that you don't understand.” Done with the story, the storyteller laughed and asked the crowd.

“Here, elder, take it. Now I want to ask, the soul that the white wolf sacrificed, is it also his emotion? If yes what for emotion did he sacrifice.” One person in the crowd went up, offered money and asked a question.

“Yes, it’s also his emotion and the emotion he sacrificed are anger, hate and sorrow.” Taking the money, the storyteller answered the question.

“Elder, you said this story is about a Cerberus, but how is this connected to the name?”

“Good question. You understand that the white wolf have split his soul into 7 pieces, that also mean, he have 7 body. And when they are together, they have 1 body and 7 head. But the white wolf have sacrificed 3 of his soul. That mean he have 4 soul left. Lastly he divided 1 of his soul, to take guard the soul of the white fox. That’s mean the one who is guarding the underworld gate is a 3 headed wolf. Now to why the wolf is black. You should understand that, how strong the white wolf then is, he can’t kill element, but there is something in this world that can kill everything. And that is Nirvana flame. With the black nirvana flame, surrounding the 3 headed wolf, people mistake it for a 3 headed dog.”

“But how can someone have seen that?” A little child asked, while giving some money.

Accepting the money the storyteller answered.

“When the white wolf attacked the underworld, a lot of soul could escape and reincarnate with their memory intact. And those who reincarnated told this story. And about why people think it’s a 3 headed dog, that guard the gate, is because when they are half dead and half alive, they can see a vision of the underworld gate, where the white wolf is guarding. And because they are not dead, the vision they get is blurred.”

And so more and more people went up, offered their money and asked question.

While the crowd keeped talking, a young white haired youth, went slowly away.

“Just because you people offered me so much money, I will tell you a secret. Today is the day the white fox reincarnate and its also mean that, the white wolf appear in the mortal realm again!”
