The Note of the Swordsman

- Start everything.

"Huh. Huh..."

A middle-aged man was running around from within the forest. His breath hunted and sweat poured down all parts of his body to penetrate out of his clothes.

Although he thought at that time he was running but what really happened was that the old man was just a normal walk.

"Huh. Heh. Huh..."

He had a thin body dry all over his bones even like he could come out at any time from his body. He looks like a vagrant.

But what distinguished him was that the old man had an unusual aura. Auras that cannot be found in vagrants or beggars are usually.

"Where is it.." The old man's gaze stared straight ahead. From his face he looked desperate, until...

"I found it!" He smiled after seeing a cave at the end of the forest.

The old man immediately ran into it.

"Hmmm. What's the matter? Whoareyou? How did you find out about this place?"

"Is this the place?" He grinned after seeing the figure of the man dressed in all-white in front of him. It was as if the old man had managed to find the only spring in the middle of the wilderness.

The figure of the man in front of him had a handsome face with an estimated age three times younger than his age.

'Chih. So yummy. What the fuck is that look. He's also more handsome than me?' Grumpy the old man by folding his face which made him look even older.

Actually the old man had found out the reason why this mysterious man in front of him looked so young. He only had the power to prevent him from aging from the laws of the world.

'That's Immortal.'

The man in front of him was an immortal being and had lived for centuries in this world just to maintain the stability of the world. Because of his mission, this mysterious man was then unable to age at any cost.

"Why are you even daydreaming about seeing my face, is there something wrong?"

"Ah." The old man looked puzzled for a moment but he soon came to his senses with his purpose here and introduced himself, "Greetings O Guard, introduce my name, I am Fu Juese."

After looking down and taking a breath, Fu Juese then added. "Actually the reason I'm here is because I managed to gather up the tearing up of forbidden maps scattered all over the world."

The map was divided into the smallest pieces and had numbers up to millions.

Of course collecting one was already very heavy once but this old man had instead managed to gather the entirety and then found this place.

"I didn't expect there would be a day where someone managed to collect a complete piece of the entire map, amazingly, really interesting." The guard smiled at Fu Juese.

"Thank you for the compliment, Guardians."

"Then what business did you come here after you found out about this place."

"Actually, I have a request."

"And what is it?" The mysterious man in front of him looked at Fu Juese with a frown then added, "As far as you know, if you want a power that can destroy the world then I will never give it. Anything other than that I might be able to consider. Now, tell me what you want?"

The forbidden map had a reward for anyone who managed to collect it and put it together into one and then managed to find its place, one request that person would be granted.

Unfortunately, all of this is a story in a myth. In the end, no one was able to prove the truth.

But today Fu Juese is able to prove that this myth is true.

Fu Juese has become a fugitive all over the world for collecting the forbidden map snags. With his own efforts, he managed to gather the scattered map tears. He lost one hand, one eye, and was exposed to a dangerous poison that still resides in it. Fu Juese did not mind those things.

'More importantly I managed to find this place.'

Fu Juese stood up straight and puffed out her chest. He recalled all the effort that made him get here, without all that Fu Juese would not have been able to be this firm.

Fu Juese made it to the cave.

He had managed to meet the World Guard Saint Sage.

He overcame all the obstacles and trials that stood in his way.

"Although presumptuous, I have one request of you."

"Say that request."

"I'd really like to turn back time."

"I refuse."

Fu Juese also said his request but the World Guard's Holy Ascetic immediately rejected it. The Keeper did not want to do that because he thought it would ruin the fate of the world and even stretch to the balance of the world.

"If you do that, then everything will go out of the designated path. Refused it. Think back to what your request was other than just now."

Hearing those words just now Fu Juese became furious. What the guard said offended him.

'So all that is a provision? I suffered all my life until now because of all that?'

"I will listen to your other requests."

"But I want to go back in time! I wouldn't if it wasn't so. You don't know what I've been feeling all this time-!"

"Shut up."

Unknowingly Fu Juese's voice grew higher and she continued to walk up to the Guard with emotion.

"Shut up! Stop right there!"

Fu Juese's body immediately stiffened, all of his limbs unable to be moved, he trembled in fear.

Who would not be surprised if suddenly given such an incredible killing appetite that the whole forest screamed and the wind ran as fast as possible to get away. Of course Fu Juese couldn't do anything.

He was neither a martial artist nor a swordsman. He was an ordinary man who from the beginning could do nothing.

Only his determination alone managed to make him survive all the way here.

"I could easily kill you like a fly. But it will only be a sad ending. Especially for you I'll listen to your story."

"You wanna hear it? You want to know what I admit? Then listen to this..."

Fu Juese then told me everything. Her regrets in the past and what reasons have made her come here.

Fu Juese was born into a large noble family of the Fu Clan, but his family fell due to a great rebellion and betrayal that occurred in his country.

His entire family was killed and only he survived at the time. His mother was poisoned to death by his own father and his fiancee dumped him.

Fu Juese wanted to take revenge on his family and everyone, but it failed because of his broken demon core from infancy.

The Demon Core was needed for them martial artists, wanderers, warriors, or ascetics. Without it, they would all be unable to absorb the natural energy to possess a great strength surpassing other normal humans.

That made Fu Juese give up on her ambitions in the world.
