L.O.S.E 1 - Despair
ARC 1 - Fall to Rise
This story started from the Blue Moon Continent which was one of the many continents in the world of cultivators. That merciless cruel world has taken away the childhood of a boy named Shu En.
Man is always intoxicated by something whether it be ambition, throne, treasure, women and so on. They kill each other, knocking each other down to reach the top spot among the others.
That night of gloom and gloom devoured the Shuyang Capital of the Shu Empire. The cry of a seven-year-old boy echoed when he saw the death of Father, Mother and her family. There was nothing he could do but thrash, scream and accept the harsh reality.
The ambition and jealousy of the man named Shu Liang to his brother had made Shu En suffer. With the help of the Tang Empire offering cooperation on the condition that it should give away the imperial holy treasures, Shu Liang executed his plan perfectly.
Blinded by the ambition to take over the imperial throne, Shu Liang massacred all residents of the Capital Shuyang and all officials protecting Emperor Shu Jiang.
But at the peak of their plan, Shu Liang was surprised by his subordinate's report telling him that Shu En was taken away by Ling Shui.
Until the end of his life Ling Shui sacrificed his life for the sake of the child. Ling Shui's death made Shu Liang's plan to be said to be successful completely. However, Shu Liang was unaware of what had befallen Shu En after the fiery night. Shu En is still alive and is taken away by the demon White Tiger to a faraway land.
Taps... Taps... Taps...
The fast-moving White Tiger's footsteps sounded. The White Tiger leaped and climbed the air with its power. Meanwhile, above his body, an unconscious Shu En holds a letter.

In a forest in the Zhang Empire, a young girl was sharpening her archery skills. Its elegance and beautiful face made the soldiers standing guard amazed.
”Emperor, General Chi coming. Looks like he brought important news for you.” A woman who looked older said.
”Sister Zi Ran, stop calling me Emperor! I'd rather be called Queen!” The beautiful girl just scolded.
”Alright, Queen Zhang.” The woman replied with a warm smile.
Before long a middle-aged man came and saluted the young girl named Zhang Xue. The middle-aged man named Chi Huangshan told Zhang Xue about a White Tiger raging in front of the palace.
”Your Majesty the Queen, the white tiger brought an unknown boy and we cannot stop his rampage!”
After Chi Huangshan explained in more detail, only then did Zhang Xue understand. Zhang Xue immediately rushed back to the palace with the woman named Hong Zi Ran.
On the way to the palace, the two realized that something big had happened given the recent turmoil they had experienced today.
”Xuexue, lately I can not sleep quietly and feel worried. The White Tiger that General Chi meant was Baihu right? It was his pet demon Brother Shui!” hong Zi Ran.
Zhang Xue nodded gently but his face paled. This girl hoped that what happened in Zhang Palace was not what she had thought.
But after seeing with his own eyes, Zhang Xue clearly knew that the White Tiger raging in front of Zhang Palace was Ling Shui's pet demon.
Hong Zi Ran who was beside Zhang Xue was also surprised to see this. Before Hong Zi Ran took action, Zhang Xue first exclaimed loudly asking the soldier surrounding the White Tiger to retreat.
”Your Majesty the Queen!”
”Your Majesty the Queen has returned!”
Instantly the soldiers moved away from the White Tiger and gave way for Zhang Xue to approach. What Zhang Xue discovered upon seeing the White Tiger named Baihu up close was a boy who was crying hysterically.
”Stop crying, boy! You're a man, aren't you?! Rise and avenge your mother's death!” said White Tiger Baihu who was only heard by Shu En, Zhang Xue and Hong Zi Ran.
Seeing the boy, Zhang Xue immediately realized that the boy was a child from Ling Shui. Zhang Xue softly asked White Tiger Baihu to shut up and began to calm Shu En down.
But Shu En was crying louder and his voice was clearly full of despair. When Hong Zi Ran tried to calm Shu En for a few minutes, Shu En remained silent and fell asleep in her arms.
”Sister Zi Ran, what happened to Sister Shui?” Zhang Xue gently held Shu En's cheek and wondered.
”This child seems to be very traumatized and suffering.” Hong Zi Ran's face was deathly pale as he felt the warmth of the injured and suffering Shu En.
”Xueuxe, I think Big Brother Shui already.” Hong Zi Ran did not continue his words as if his voice was swallowed.
”It..” Then Hong Zi Ran's wry eyes fell on a letter held tightly by Shu En.
”A letter?”
”Xuexue, can you read it?” hong Zi Ran Pinta.
Zhang Xue nodded his head and picked up the letter Shu En was holding, then read it carefully.
To Xuexue who was far away...
How's it going?
When you read this letter, I thought I was gone.
Now you've become a great queen.
How are Ranran and Rongrong? Are they okay?
Is Grandma Su still mad at me?
Hihihi sorry for leaving you and choosing to live my new life here.
I don't regret the slightest decision to leave back then.
Despite the regret, my only regret was not being able to see my son grow up.
I wonder what the future of Ender will look like?
Xuexue, Ranran and the rest of you there read this letter, please take care of Ener for me...
After reading Ling Shui's letter, tears welled up in Zhang Xue's eyes spilled. Zhang Xue froze the letter and shed her tears knowing Ling Shui was gone.
”Kakak Shui's... He always just wants to!” Hong Zi Ran also cried as he imagined Ling Shui's death.
Neither Zhang Xue nor Hong Zi Ran, both of them did not know what was the cause of Ling Shui's death. The two of them brought Shu En's body to Zhang Palace after the white tiger demon disappeared and waited for the right time to ask Shu En everything.
