Rust of Blood

(No system/non-shuangwen/not invincible/dual male protagonists/free text) This is a world where blood is destiny. Kells, the Silver Wolf general, was branded with a mark of shame by his family and exiled to the border because he refused to swing his claws at those who did not resist. Thorn, the red fox mechanic, built a line of defense in the rust and shadows, hating all oppression that was called "glory". A plague called "bloodline rust" is causing the hair of the underlying orcs to fall off and their claws to rot. When the exiled silver wolf tracing the source of the plague met the underground fox protecting his compatriots in the sewer alley, they saw the same doubts and unyielding edge in each other's eyes. Talon and Machine were forced to form an alliance, and the contract was forged in suspicion. They soon discovered that this was more than just a plague. The foundation of the thousand-year order of the so-called "noble bloodline" and "inferior race" is soaked in lies and sacrifices. And what is "rusted" is far more than flesh and blood.
