[Li Qin's Tomb]
In some forest, hidden within the empire of thunder, a armymade by highly trained martial artist from the combine forces of ten empire of the alliances. There are two hundreds of them. Even if this number is very small for an army, yet they are all on the peak of the saint rank, a realm that only a warrior that cannot be found everywhere. Yet here they are, two hundreds of them, led by a middle age man with Sky Rank, he is a general of the highest order from the alliances empire. He is the reason all of the Saint Rank expert can unite under one command, since in this power if you want the absolute authorithy, you will need absolute power.
This man is General Zuo, he wears an extravagant armor made with solid armament metal, which is a metal that can only be use to make armament, so it is very extravagant to made it into such armor, however if one compared it to normal steel armor, there is no contest and it is also lighter. The armor have huge horn on his head protector and he carry huge sword, as big as his two meters body in his back.
All of them surround the enterance of a big tomb. It is a huge tomb, seemingly out of place. The tomb has grand design with marvel architecture. It was entirely made out of gold. The outskirt of the tomb is around two kilometers wide, yet there are rumors that it is far more big inside of the tomb, but it is merely rumor, since nobody alive ever see inside and tell the tale, and the enterance also sealed from the inside.
The tomb's enterance is a huge golden door. It is five meter double door with thunder engrave and thunder icon on top of the door. At this moment the all of the men is anxiously looking at the slowly open door.
The door that for thousand of years never been opened now slowly opened. And as the door open a young man is slowly emerged. His stature is rather small, he has white long hair.He wear a purple robe and an armament on his wrist with thunder character engraved on it. This mand is known as Li Qin, and many people call him Thunder Emperor due to his legendary thunder power.
Even though the man is small, nobody would dare look down to him. Not except the army's leader. He wear a smile on his face.It seems that he has absolute confidence. The army on the other hand, while they never witness this young man power personally before, his strength is absolute legend. Too many to count the victim of his massacre, this man has personally slain a lot his empire enemy single handedly. He is absolute tyrant that will kill anyone, whether young or old, whether strong or weak, everything that stand before his rule will die.

Legend said that after he has slain all his enemy and made a wealthy rule for all of his friends and decendant he retired and slept in his tomb.
"Well well well, ain't this a grand welcome for me." Said Li Qin, as he views his surrounding. He can see that many of them views him with hostility. He feel nostalgic, not many man dare to look at him with hostility since long ago. Yet here they are, with cultivation level nowhere near him, he wonder how many has he slept. Did he slept for too long, has the world forgot his power, would he need to remind the world again, is this army come here to raid his tomb, these question appear in his head.
"Greetings Thunder Emperor, I applaud to you for your awakening, as rude as it is." Said General Zuo with mocking tone while clapping his hands.
"You seems like this lot leader aren't you. How brave of you to come this near to me." Said Li Qin. General Zuo only standing a few meters apart from him. Yet General Zuo doesn't fear him at all.
"So what do you want? Do you want to raid for gold in my tomb? Is that it?" many people have come to his tomb before he slept, it was when the tomb built. And Li Qin also believe that it won't stop them to try even knowing the consequences after he went to sleep. He originally have prepare guardian, yet they doesn't show up, is ist because this man is his decendant? However he doesn't feel any blood connection, so does with the other people around him. But he can feel that this man has some familiar aura, it does not belong to himself however, he wonder if it is some heirloom.
"Ah please don't view us the same with some petty thief. We do not want your gold." Said General Zhuo smiling. "We just want the heart of God."
That sentence right there shocked Li Qin. The heart of God is the one treasure he hold very dear. It is the source of his power. The owner of the item would get power, and also can control all of the tomb guardian.
It is located deep within the tomb, however nobody can took it. There are special requirements to get it aside from taken it physically, the previous owner need to be killed by the new owner.
While Li Qin never tell anybody regarding this. He guard the item with absolute secrecy, and not even his family know anything about the item.
Li Qin is now ready to kill them all. He focus his aura around his body. There are thunder formed all around his body, with crackling and rumbling sound. He is ready to raging and kill them all.

"Oh great emperor, please don't be mad." General Zhuo mock him and pick up something from his pocket. It is something that look like a human heart, it color is bright crimson, and it looks like it still beating. It has very sinister aura. He immediately crush it.
"Help me! Help me!"There are countless souls coming from the crushed heart. All of it flying out of the heart. "Family please help! Family please help!" As if the souls sensing that Li Qin is their family all of them flying towards them.
One by one those souls enter Li Qin body. The number of the souls is numerous, and keep going, as per now hundreds of them coming out the hearts at the same time.
So that's why the tomb's guardian didn't attack them, because of General Zhuo is bringing these poor souls, Li Qin understand everything now. Li Qin is getting more angry by every seconds. If that is true, then this souls, everyone of it is his decendants.
The only way to block these souls is by purge them with his power, but knowing that these are his decendants he doesn't have the heart for it. Even if he is known as a madman, a killer, yet all of it is because he want to give a safe place for his family. And now that his family become poor souls, he doesn't even know what to do about it.
"So how is it. These family meeting become warmer every second, aren't you glad that almost ten thousand of it come to greet you. Oh, and nobody stay behind, we make sure to include everyone." General Zhuo heartlessly keep taunt Li Qin.
Li Qin can feel that his power dropped at significant pace. His thunder aura crumble and unstable. At this rate he will be very weak and so much easy to kill. Yet, he still doesn't want to purge those souls.
"Fuck you, take this! Thunder Spear!"
STRROOOMMMMMM
Li Qin need to kill all of them now. He use one of his signature move, Thunder Spear. With his handwave he produced gigantic purple lightning from his hand. However that move just now, its power and speed are so much slower than he usually used.While General Zhuo managed to evade it with difficulty, yet not so for the people that stand behind him. Even if they stand a far than him, a few hundreds meters, they can't evade it due to very fast, and they die instantly. At least fifty people has died with that one move.
"Impressive, with that condition you can kill a quarter of my army." Said General Zhuo appraise him with mocking tone. "Now it's my turn." General Zhuo now take his giant blade from his back. He is take a stance ready to impale Li Qin from a distance. While Li Qin soul is must be very damaged by those soul attack, he is still a very dangerous threat.
"Take this!" yell General Zhou, he has thrown his blade so fast, as if it is a throwing javelin.
"Damn you! Thunder storm!"
STROOOOMMMMMM
Li Qin unleash his second sigmature move, Thunder Storm. There are now numerous thunder strike coming near him, and there are one giant sphere of thunder coming out surround him for a wide radius. It's the best defensive move he can use, since it will destroy everything it touch, even if it's radius is now very limited.
"It's useless." General Zhuo keep mocking him.
The thunder sphere that come out just now is indeed very dangerous. It kill tens of General Zhuo's army instantly. However the blade still manage to hit Li Qin in his stomach. Creating a deep wound. Fresh blood coming out from the wound, make his robe color in blood.
"How is it? The taste of the blood of your decendant? Hahaha!" General Zhuo laugh very hard now, since he is only inch away from victory.
"You despicable bastard.... How dare you..." Li Qin is very angry, yet very sad just now. He understand from General Zhuo word that this giant blade that hit him must have been coated from Li Qin's decendant blood, and the blood amount must be numerous.
"Men! Let's kill him now! He is now wounded by both body and soul!" Command General Zhuo to his army. However he doesn't want to go near him for now. He want the men to hurt him very badly, and give the final blow himself later. He understood that Li Qin still able to put final resistance.
"Heh... I won't be die this easily. I would take you all with me..." Seeing all of the men now storming at him, he gather his energy ready to kill them all.

For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.
