Rollercoaster Ride With The Legendary Sword
As you gaze up at the starry night sky, the wind rustles through your hair, and a faint memory comes to mind. You are the Emperor, reborn to restore the glory of the ancient empire. The stars in the heavens are said to be the spirits of the ancients, guiding you on the path to destiny.
You have been told the legend: The greatest heroes of old were able to summon celestial swords from the heavens, using them to slay mighty demons. If you can master the celestial arts and forge a bond with the spirit of a star, you will surely restore the Empire to its former glory.
But before you can become the hero of the legends, you must first find someone to teach you the ways of the celestial arts.
A man named Old Master Xie is the current leader of the Celestial Sword Sect, the only organization left that still practices the celestial arts. According to the legend, he has mastered the ways of the celestial swords, and has a star-bound sword of his own. You have heard that he sometimes teaches young people like yourself, and if he sees potential in you, he may even take you on as a student.
Unfortunately, the location of the Celestial Sword Sect is unknown, and many believe it to be nothing more than a myth. You must be careful not to reveal your intentions to others, or you may end up attracting unwanted attention.
But the search for the celestial arts will not be easy. You will need to learn to defend yourself, and find a way to survive in this dangerous world. The first step is to acquire a weapon.
You decide to make your way to the nearby town. As you approach, the sound of voices grows louder.
The town is bustling with activity, and it is clear that something important is happening. The townspeople are gathered around a large platform, and there is a palpable air of excitement and anticipation. On the platform, a tall man stands on a raised stage, speaking loudly.
"Good people of the Empire!" he says, "I bring you news from the capital! The Emperor has declared war against the barbarian tribes of the north!"
There are gasps from the crowd. The tall man continues.
"We have received reports that the barbarians have captured a number of our border towns, and they are now marching south, burning and pillaging as they go. They are led by the infamous warlord, General Wu, and it is said that he has the support of the dark powers from the north. Our brave soldiers are gathering their forces and will soon march north to meet the barbarians in battle.
"But there is more. We have received word that the barbarians are planning a surprise attack on our capital city. We cannot allow this to happen. To protect the city, we need the help of the people.
