THE CURSED ONE - THE BOY WHO CHALLENGE DESTINY

PROLOGUE

This is the world when martial art holds the most important role in people’s society, many people race to get on to the highest place in the martial art world. Hundreds of martial art sects have emerged during this era, but only 4 of them are considered to be the greatest martial art sects in this land, they are Baek Mountain Sect, Cloud Sun Sect, Red Dragon Sect, and Golden Fire Sect.

500 years ago before a peaceful world emerged, unimaginable destruction hit this world. The destruction that caused by a very powerful dark martial artist, in which he used his dark power to perform f*******n techniques to summon a monster from outside this world and bound that monster inside his body. With the power of the monster, he became much more powerful and peoples know him as The Mad Monster. Ancient text stories mentioned that The Mad Monster was a very powerful being, he can destroy mountains and create earthquakes with his steps.

For unknown reason The Mad Monster started to kills so many humans in every place that he came over without any warriors able to take him down, unimaginable number of deaths happened because of the Malignancy of Sword Monster. That was until the strongest warriors from the 4 strongest sects decide to unite and work together to encounter this Sword Monster. The power combinations of the 4 great warriors were still not enough to win against Sword Monster until they decided to use 4 ancient sacred weapons, very powerful weapons legacy from their ancestors to increase their battle strength and closed the power gap between them and The Mad Monster.

The battle between The Mad Monster and The 4 Great Warriors was inevitable, the intense and unearthly battle was last for 2 days with no one able to enter the battle zone except those who fought inside. The long battle finally came to an end after the warriors were managed to kill The Mad Monster but at a very heavy cost. Only two warriors had survived in the end, Hwang Ma the strongest of the four warriors, and Baek Hyeon which heavily injured came out as the victor, while two other warriors, Dae Chul Woo and Cheon Ji Ho have died in the hand of The Mad Monster.

After the war ended, the body of The Mad Monster was buried and sealed by Hwang Ma in a secret place that was only known by Hwang Ma himself and his comrade Baek Hyeon, while the dead body of Cheon Ji Ho and Dae Chul Woo returned to the successor of their sect.

The battleground became flat to the earth and 300 years ago on top of it, a temple was built to acknowledge The 4 Great Warriors Heroism and all the humans that died in the hand of The Mad Monster. The ex-battle area is now called The Valley of Heroes.

Hwang Ma, the victor of the battle crowned by all sects as the First Emperor, is a symbol of union and peace. As an Emperor he has no longer stayed at his sect, he moved to Emperor Palace, a palace that was specially built upon agreement from all sects as a sign that anyone who becomes The Emperor no longer belongs to one sect but belongs to all martial art world.

The world regains its peaceful condition under emperor Hwang Ma, before the end of his life, 70 years old emperor Hwang Ma set up a rule that specified for the successor to claim The Emperor's throne. The rule said that the successor of the Emperor will be determined by competition from 4 big sects with each sect have a right to send one of his best and strongest warriors to compete with each other to claim The Emperor's throne. This rule was made to avoid disunity and war between 4 big sects, all the other sects in the land accepted these rules as a symbol of respect toward the 4 great warriors who have saved this world from destruction also because of their lack of strength to challenge the 4 big sects in this land.

Another survivor of the battle, Baek Hyeon, because of the severe wound that he got during the battle, was no longer able to use his martial art or his inner energy. Without martial art and inner energy, every martial artist will lose his hope and his future, that why he decided to isolate himself inside a cave on Baek Mountain until the end of his life.

The 4 ancient sacred weapons which used to defeated The Mad Monster have separated into 4 big sects. Until now no one ever used these weapons again and these weapons were finally lost from most of the people's memories.

The real name and the origin of The Mad Monster, the world-destroyer, were never known until today.

The peaceful world continues for 500 years long until the present when Jin will begin his adventures in this martial art world.
