The Crown of Wu tells the adventures of Wu, a half-ape, half-human who, having once been the emperor’s herald, began behaving chaotically due to the use of a crown that gave him extraordinary powers. It’s as if wearing it corrupts the heart… Eventually, his crimes and atrocities led to his being captured and sentenced to a harsh punishment; frozen in biostatic solution. After dozens of years spent almost conscious but immobile, Wu manages to break free from his prison and discovers a decadent world in ruins. Also, his crown has been stolen and is being used to provoke a vibration that will eventually lead to a gigantic explosion leading to extinction… Wu must retrieve his stolen crown and help those he once punished to save the world and redeem yourself to finally find peace….
Wu’s crown must be found!
