《Rise of the Fallen》Chapter 1: New Beginning
Advertisement
In one of the lower realm world,
This world among many of the lower realm world was known as Terra. In this world there were two types of people found among many other beasts. (NO No no, not male and female J). They were classified as cultivators and non cultivators. The cultivators after cultivating to a certain stage turned to immortals. However those were very less in quality and quantity in the lower realms. Among billions of the population, the amounts of cultivators were counted in thousands. At most there were about 100 thousand cultivators in this world. Though it might seem like much, if counted among the billions it can be said that the ratio of the cultivators among the people were truly low. And the cultivators who turned to immortals were even lower. In the of Terra there were only 12 people who turned to immortals and they were revered as god themselves.
The world of Terra was divided in three continents. They were The Holy Continent, The Divine Continent and the Eastern Continent. Each of the continents had their own religion and Emperor.
As such, in the Eastern continent, there was a large village known as Golden Wolf Village. The village was named as golden wolf because the most powerful clan of that area was Golden Wolf which was also the ruler of the nearby areas.
In the northern part of the golden wolf village, there lived a group of people. There used to be a legend of this particular group. It was said that they thousands of years ago, the sky tore open and they entered in this world. But now no-one remembered this legend. This group of people called themselves the Soaring Clan. There was something peculiar about the Soaring Clan, which was among the many other small sized clans. Unlike many of the other clans where people were in different stages of cultivation, this clan had almost all the people in the Body Tempering Stage. Even the elders and the patriarch of the clan were just of Body Tempering stage. Other clans at least had some of the elders and the Patriarch at the Core Unlocking Stage. Yet this clan was never bothered by the other clans at all. In fact no other clans encroached on their territory at all.

In the village of the clan, an elder was teaching a group of children who were 10-12 years old.
"The path for cultivation is a hard one. But none of you should ever give up hope". Usually when the teacher is teaching the class, the children don’t actually pay attention to what the teacher is teaching. The same thing was occurring here as well.
Still the teacher continued "the most important part in cultivation is the foundation stage. The Foundation stage is divided in three parts. They are Body tempering, Mind Tempering and Soul Tempering. Each of the tempering stages is further divided in five further ranks. After that comes the Core Unlocking Stage and after that comes the core formation stage. For now you little brats should start training for the first stage of the cultivation which is body tempering."
Among those children, there was a 10 year old child who unlike the others was listening and devouring every word of what the elder was saying. With black hair, chubby face and big eyes, this kid looked like a Cherub, especially if one took account of his fat body. The name of this boy was Nicholas Flamus who was called Nik for short. Even though he was fat people rarely called him fatty. This was not because they were scared of him or something. On the contrary Nik was liked well by his peers as well as teachers. It was because there were other children who were a lot fatter than him. He was considered average compared to the others.
The teacher then started training of the children by making them practice normal punching, kicking and jabbing methods.
An old man carrying a fisherman pole was watching the children train. Though this man looked a little old, the pressure exerted by him exceeded those exerted by seasoned fighters at their prime. The man looked towards the sky, sighed and said "More than ten thousand years have passed, yet we are still stuck here, our children cursed and our will suppressed. Will we never be able to rise to the heavens again? Looks like the sacrifices of our people were in vain. Grendel, your father has failed you, looks like there is no hope after all. Sigh." After closing his eyes for a while he looked toward the ground where the children were training.

"Let's hope there are some among these snooty brats who will be able to break through the body tempering stage and obtain some face for my clan."
Saying this, the man walked away whistling a sweet tune. If anyone from the heaven or the upper world saw this man, they would be shocked. He was none other than the Patriarch of the Garuda Clan and also the ancestor of the Soaring Clan, whom the entire heaven was searching for.
The Soaring Clan. Formed by the remnants of the Garuda Clan. This clan was started for a New Beginning to occur for the people of the clan as to have some measure of peace and flourish amongst themselves so as to take their revenge. However, In the past years no one has been able to break through from the first stage of the Foundation Stage in this clan. No one knows why. Even those that showed great prowess and potential, no one from this clan could ever breakthrough from the body tempering stage. Behind their backs everyone calls them Cursed. After more than a thousand years the one grand Garuda clan has fallen into one of it's worst time. Even they themselves had for their heritage and strength they once wielded. In these recent centuries they really had become Fallens.
