🌑 A World Inside the Gate
Everything went dark.
Shen Li opened his eyes—and saw red.
The sky above him was crimson. The moon, blood red.
The trees were twisted, whispering secrets.
And he was alone.
Welcome to the Blood Moon Realm.
This is your first Trial of Truth.
He spun around. "Where is everyone?! Yue Qian? Yan Su?"
No answer.
Face your past. Or be consumed by it.

🧠Memory Attack
Suddenly—
BOOM!
A memory exploded in front of him.
His childhood.
The day his father died in front of him.
The flames. The crying. The blood.
He stood frozen.
Then—his father stepped out of the fire. Eyes glowing.
"You let me die," the ghost growled.
"You were too weak."
"No…" Shen Li clenched his fists.
"I was just a kid…"

đź’˘ A Test of the Heart
But the ghost kept coming.
"You ran. You begged. You hid."
"Stop—"
"You were nothing—"
BOOM!
Shen Li roared.
His dual blades appeared in his hands, glowing with light and shadow.
"I may have been weak then," he shouted, "but now—"
SLASH!
The ghost was cut in half.
The memory vanished.

đź‘Ą Trial 2: Mirror of Love
Shen Li blinked—and saw her.
Yue Qian.
But not real.
This version of her had tears in her eyes.
"You never saw me," she whispered. "You never really loved me."
"What?" Shen Li stepped back. "That's not true!"
She reached for him—then pulled away.
"You used me. Like you used everyone. To get stronger."
Shen Li's heart twisted. "No! I protected you!"
"Then why am I gone?" she asked, fading into mist.
---
He fell to his knees.
But then—he stood up.
"I do love her. I'd die for her. I'll fight the world for her."
His fists clenched.
"I'll never let her go!"

đź‘‘ Trial 3: Throne of the Future
A throne floated in the sky.
Dark. Empty. Massive.
He heard a voice:
> "If you take this throne, you will rule.
But all you love… will die."
Shen Li looked up.
His swords vanished.
He walked forward.
He stepped to the throne.
And then—he turned away.
"I don't want power if it costs my soul."
---
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
The world shattered.
Red light exploded across the sky.
And a new voice whispered:
> "You are the one."

🌪️ Back to Reality
Shen Li woke up.
He was back outside the gate.
Yue Qian held his hand. "You're back! You were out for 3 days!"
Yan Su grinned. "You survived the Blood Moon."
Shen Li sat up slowly.
His eyes glowed—silver and black.
"I did more than survive."
He stood, a storm rising around him.
"I awakened."
