The two of you were soldiers of the empire.

During the beginning of the year, twelve years ago, every man in the empire had to fight, including you and Wen Buqi.

The war was cruel and brutal, the casualties rose every second. It was a miracle you had been able to survive the war, actually it was thanks to Shen Buqi.

Whenever you think of that war, only fire and blood enter your mind, your fellow soldiers screaming in that endless bloodshed.

You remember running as fast as possible as fires raged around you, covering the battlefield in a thick smoke, your breathing was heavy as you tripped over the corpses of fellow soldiers.

Your body was covered in burns that ached, blood seeping from every cut on your body, then just before you could blink…Shen Buqi came running at you quickly trying to shove you away.

All you saw was a bright light as a wave of heat seemed to punch you as all faded to black. When you awoke, Shen Buqi’s lifeless body lay on your legs, your right arm missing. You couldn’t feel the pain as your heart raced.

The damned Mu Empire had decided to bring out their new and improved martial artists with powerful spiritual cores against your home empire that barely had any cultivators.

Then everything seemed to fade as you fell conscious once again. —— PRESENT TIME

You sat in your home, it was quiet. The war had ended 5 years ago. The night was cold yet peaceful, as you got up from your chair to get to your bed, you couldn’t help but stare at your right arm that had been replaced by a prosthetic.

It felt so strange.

As you laid in bed you felt a sudden weight join you, when you opened your eyes, it was Shen Buqi. But he was dead, so how?

You couldn’t speak nor could you even think of something to do as Shen Buqi reached down to move the hair out of your face.

Was this a dream? Even if it was just a dream or a figment of your imagination…it was too real, too good, you couldn’t help the tears that swelled up in your eyes.

Seeing your dead beloved was pulling at your heart.

“My sweet boy, don’t cry”

Shen Buqi smiled softly, his hand moved to gently caress your cheek.
