Gentle droplets of rain in the neon city full of colors were it shines — the streets full of crowds focus in one spot.
A body lay in the center of the street surrounded by the crowd his breathing heavy his clothes smeared with his own blood he's body was infront of a bloody truck.
As the crowd began to murmured to express their thoughts of the situation.
"Must been a drunk driving accident"
"Someone! Call a ambulance!"
"Is he gonna be okay?"
"Everyone the ambulance has arrived!"
"Make way!"
As the ambulance sirens grow louder the man lay in the street was beginning to loss consciousness he eyes almost lifeless his vision began to blur.
Then a cold voice rang in his ears.
"Atlast darkness"
As he's soul float in the darkness he questioned himself to how he gotten himself to this.
"How does fate suddenly change plans? Is it my life's value? Or is it how incompetent I was?
As he's question echoes in the darkness — he's soul suddenly felt a warmth that is covering him, it felt like inside him a small flame was ignite.
As the darkness began to warp he sees it beginning to warp as reality itself was changing to something new the darkness became something else from a pure black just nothing, to a grayish black.
His soul felt the warm of the air then sudden coldest then another feeling in his head a cold or a liquid was dropping to his head but it felt just like the feeling of begin alive — suddenly his eyes opened to see the wooden celling dripping with droplets of rain water to his face.
Then as another drop to his face he became irritated to the drops he stormed up of the bed he was laying just to see the stuffs around him old traditional Chinese cups and other things.
Confused.
He's eyes wandered to a mirror to see himself differently his face looking average his attire was Hanfu it was a crappy black and grayish Hanfu were it has many stitches.
Now his confusion became more with his long messy hair, he starts to tie his hair.
While tying his hair he questioned himself to how did he gotten to such strange place.
"How the hell did I came here?"
As the cold breeze of the rain began to envelope him, he shivered in the cold his hunger started to act up.
He became frantic searching something to eat and keep him warm — as the storm became strong thunder strikes above the sky's were it felt like someone is fighting in heaven.
And finally he found a bread laying in a table in the storage room were besides it a dairy.
As he starts to eat the bread, he starts to ponder about in this strange world he is in now, then he noticed the dairy dusty just laying there quietly waiting to be used.
As his curiosity began to grow he couldn't help himself then he pick up the diary and open it and starts to read it.
As he read he found that this world is like a cultivation world he were he dream to be real as he expression became relief to joy.
"My dream? Finally it became real yess!"
Then he starts to experiment inside the hut to how to activate he's abilities then he reads the dairy again it's was a dairy focus in cultivation and techniques left by the previous owner.
As he read the thunder struck a tree nearby then he ran outside to see the storm became stronger then another thunder struck then an explosion.
The explosion was loud it must been close to the hut he was staying then he investigate the loud then — he sees a crater were a figure lay.
As his curiosity got the best of him then checked to see a man in a rope his mouth goshing blood his clothes smeared in blood then another thunder roar.
As the man breath became heavy in a frantic voice he called to the boy and introduce himself and shouted to the boy to run.
"Hey... There passerby."
"I... I am Shin Luo a grandmaster from the Heavenly Sect you must escape passerby cause the beast is coming run!!!"
As the rain grew heavy — a thundering roar in the distance it was the Thunder Scale Dragon a massive beast as the ground shook to it's presence.
The passerby quickly introduce himself then carry the old man to he's back then he starts to run in the deep forest as the thundering roar became louder — he was panicking he was regretting about why did he investigate it in the first place.
"Hey old man I am Zhung Hang our goal for today is — to survive this massive beast!"
In a panic he shouted many spells that he doesn't know how to do it or how to activate the spells he read.
"Fire Blast!"
"Raging Fire!"
"FIRE FIRE POWER!!!"
The old man in his back just chuckled of the young man's foolishness then the old man look at the back just to see the massive beast in the distance was charging it's way to them.
The old man still calm then he asked to the young man with his voice hourse to what technique is he trying to use.
"Young Man what spell are you trying to used?"
Zhung Hang panicking said that he was trying to use a type of fire spell to use as a distraction to the beast.
The old man chuckled again he eyes full of relief then starts to teach the basics of Chi Gathering to Zhung Hang as he continue calmly the thundering roar became more louder.
"Young Man try to feel in your heart the warmth and your burning desire, try to feel around you, try to feel the warmth of Chi."
As they continue Zhung Hang became more and more tired the massive beast was coming closer.
Then he tried to gather Chi while running then he tries to feel the Chi with a sudden a warm aura invelops his body heart became warmer.
The old man chuckled again then asked what is the name of spell was the young man trying to used then Zhung Hang quickly answered — as the trail of the forest with the splash of mud leaving footprints behind.
"Young man will done after that tell me what spell are you trying to used?"
"I forgotten must be Fire Blast, or maybe Flame Burst."
Then the old man laugh at Zhung Hang for not learning a easy and basic spell then he teaches Zhung Hang to how to make it work to how the Flame Burst work.
"Hahahaha young man you're late at the party the Flame Burst is the most basic and easy spell to used even children in 12 years old can do it hahaha."
"Ahem but first we have to survive."
"Try to imagine a Flame inside you after that try your Chi that you just gather to let it out in your finger"
As Zhung Hang tried he felt inside that he's Chi turned into a Flame then he pointed his finger to a tree then he let he's Chi out in his finger then a ball of Flame emerge.
Then he realase it fully.
As the old man and Zhung Hang looked at the ball of Flame floating following Zhung Hang's his finger then the old man command him to fire it at a tree in the distance.
Zhung Hang takes a aim then control the ball of Flame then imagined that the ball of Flame moved then it moved then hit a tree in the distance a explosion loader than a thunder was heard as the beast lose focus then back continue to chase the two.
As it's eyes looked at the trail in the deep forest it only sees nothing it roar furiously as the storm became wild.
As the rain and wind make the autumn leaves sway in the dead of the night two shadow figures enter a hut.
It was the two finally survived As they sat in the floor in opposite Zhung Hang started a fire to make them warm then Zhung Hang stands up then search in the storage for something to eat the old man just smiled then closed his eyes to rest.
After Zhung Hang found something to eat and was done eating he woke the old man up to ask questions.
"What were you doing?"
"What location are we?"
"Where is the Heavenly Sect?"
The old man chuckled at Zhung Hang's questions then answer the three questions in full details.
"Firstly I was task to collect some rare herbs in the Thundering Mountain's were the Thunder Scale Dragon lived — And I might accidentally woke it up and chase me here."
"Secondly were in the Forest of Souls were many souls wander turning into vengeful souls and I don't even know how did you survived in here young man."
"Thirdly the location of the Heavenly Sect is in the North West were you'll find a peak mountain with stairs above of the mountain is the Heavenly Sect."
Then he chuckled again then ask Zhung Hang to be his deciple cause he sees Talent in Zhung Hang.
"Young man... Be my disciple I will teach you I saw talent in you I will pass my wisdom and teachings."
"You gather Chi quickly while running, so be my disciple if so you'll achieve the peak of life."
Zhung Hang breath became heavy then quickly bow to the old man then he accepted to be a disciple to the old man now he's dream to be a cultivator became real.
"Yes!!! I will learn from your teachings master!!!"
Thus Zhung Hang became a official cultivator.
At the leaves of autumn fall the sky shine bright the rays of the sun shines to a room.
As an old man look around in his room then a sudden call outside.
"Master Hang! Can you teach us the Flame Burst?"
Zhung Hang old open the other window then looked at the kids below then he smiled.
"Sorry I can't I'm busy maybe tomorrow."
As the kids with a disappointed look walk away.
"What a bummer."
Then the kids left — Zhung Hang was now aged 289 he's master passed away as he remembers he clean his room while remembering how his master was killed by the Heavenly Demon.
To how many masters sacrifice themselves to stop the Heavenly Demon to many lived loss.
To how he was the one left to stop the Heavenly Demon to how he suffered with internal Chi damage after the last blow he gave the Heavenly Demon ending it.
Then he signed his breath out thinking to his old days and accidentally stumbled a book as he dust it off then read it just to see a word.
Everything is an Illusion.
Non of it is Real.
Heaven was Playing you.
