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

Qi spiralled around both of the boys in a figure of eight as it passed between them and bounced around the room as they gathered it from the ground beneath them. As they sat down, the room seemed to fill with more Qi than was previously in there, and it became hard to breathe once again.

The feeling soon faded, but the feeling of strong Qi didn't leave, and it continued to float in the air as Kalon and Micah absorbed it into their dantian. Time seemed to fly by as a bell chimed out from outside the cultivation tower, signalling it was time for classes to start. Since it was now Monday, Kalon and Micah would officially be starting school. Yet, they didn't know where to go.

Kalon felt a huge increase in his cultivation as he still held his eyes closed, but upon hearing the bell, he got distracted.

"Wh-what!?" Micah yelled out as the bell startled both of them.
