Zero_Things

War struck the whole continent as the emperor of a nation filled with hungry beasts vowed to destroy humanity.

It seemed as though there wasn’t an end in sight to the mindless violence between the two nations until a group of people stood out from the rest of the humans to bring the constant fighting to a standstill.

The humans praised them for their efforts, and the beasts hated them for interfering in their war. Yet, there was nothing any of them could do to go against the power that they held.

Kalon Talvos was the illegitimate prince of an empire which was known for its strength and vicious brutality. Yet, he didn’t have a shred of that within him. At least on the surface.

The young prince lived his life without hatred and was oblivious to the dark forces moving behind his back until an encounter with a strange man changed his life forever. 

“There isn’t much time left. Trust in only yourself. Only you know the truth. Now reach out and bring this all to an end.”

“But what if I can’t? It hurts too much!”

“Then let me take over for a while. I can take the pain away.”

The Retribution of a Cursed Swordsman

Kalon looked around for a few moments as he stood in front of the cultivation tower and felt amazed that they had managed to build something so tall. The only thing even remotely close to the height of the tower he was looking at was the tower used by the court back in the Sylton empire, but even that only had nine floors. But the building in front of him was more than twice that.

'How didn't I see this place before? It's so tall that you could probably see this from miles away,' Kalon thought as he saw a couple of students enter before him.

Kalon followed slightly behind them both and wondered where he should go. Celes had warned him that he shouldn't go above the third floor, but she also explained that the Qi would be stronger on the higher floors. He wondered if he should really listen to what she had told him since it would benefit him more to go higher.

Leave or die!
