[Short Story] The Lord of the Castle Says

Once, a long summer passed through a village of years gone by. In the ageless city, time stood still. Ask not where the lonely city lies; know that it is painted in ink within a long song.

"Where is the City of the Ageless?" Song Shizhi lightly brushed the dust from his sleeve and gazed into his eyes, slowly breaking into a smile. "In the Wasteland, right beneath your feet."

A story about an immortal who gets picked up by a younger man, marries first and falls in love later, fights little monsters, levels up, and sabotages his teammates. The bottom is an immortal who keeps getting into trouble; the top is a disfigured man with a girlish heart. One-on-one romance, very short.

Warnings: 1. The writing and the characters' intelligence are both questionable. It's stream of consciousness, and the story goes wherever it wants. 2. If you can't understand it or don't enjoy it, feel free to come beat me up. 3. The "horror" tag is there because I don't know whether looking scary counts. 4. This story skips the forced marriage, the inner turmoil, and the farming and leveling up, and jumps straight to the ending. Yes, the final battle starts right at the beginning.
