A Legendary Sword master?
{For those pissed it says sword master, this is a multiple main character meaning everyone will be legends that are around the same level in their ways, lets start with stories of their power, have a nice time}
*wush wush*
The wind howled as the scent of blood and vomit filled the air. A crowd surrounded a old muscular man, pierced with a rapier in his chest. His white hair was dyed a messy red with dirt covering the multiple wound on his body.
"GRANDPA! Please, don't go!.." a young boy with snot all over his face shouted at the old man.
"*Cough* It's okay, I *Cough*" before he could finish his sentence he coughed up blood, his eyes closed, never to see the light again.
"Grandpa…" he slowly stood up, tears running down his face, he ran towards a man in luxurious clothes and punched him with his tiny fists.
"GiVe hIm BaCk!" He cried while punching his legs.
"Tsc, he didn't pay his taxes and refused to go in cuffs, this is his fault" the man patted the boys head, he didn't mean to kill the old bastard, it just slipped.
Some of the adults stepped forward and lifted the old man up, the others took the boy to the orphanage.
The boy stood in front of a caretaker who helped him take his clothes off and wash him.
"Lin Wu… *Sigh* You need to put down the sword so I can take your clothes off" the caretaker moved her hand towards the sheathed sword, the boy pulled away from her.
"No, I can get undressed myself" he escaped from her and huddled in a corner.
"*Sigh* What will we do with this boy" She whispered.
{10 Years Later}
Lin Wu, who is now 15 years old, was standing in the market selling vegetables.
"Buy some fresh vegetables at a low price!" After selling most of the vegetables for the orphanage, he quickly ran back and gave the money to his caretaker. Rushing to his room and grabbing his sword.
"And where are you going?" As he turned to the door he heard a familiar voice. The owner of the voice was his trusted best friend, Sheng Wei.
The towering figure that was unfit for a 15 year old, had a poker face and slid his hand into his pocket, slowly pulling out a key.
His eyes widened,"SHENG!" The key that he was dangling, was the key to the treasury of the village chief.
"What do you say we-" Lin slapped him.
"What we're you thinking, you can go to jail, or even executed, return it now!" Saying that his friend pouted.
"You're no fun, probably swinging your sword again and again, all day." He slumped down and left the room.
Lin Wu left the room with no interruption and went to practice his sword.
*Swish Slash*
As he practiced with his sword, he heard a rustle in the bushes nearby. His eyes narrowed, he quickly got into a awkward stance and slowly approached the bushes. He got around a inch from the bushes when.
"AHHH!" The ground split and he fell, down, down, down, until *Splash* he hit water.
He slowly climbed into a cave soaking wet.
"Damn, huh what's that?" A golden light flashed in front of him. In its stead, a black metallic box was floating.
"What is that" he approached it and grabbed it, and it open. A sudden pain appeared in his head, memories surged, he fell to the ground in pain.
"AHHHHH" he passed out on the floor.
He woke up a unknown time later, his mind filled with information about, an inheritance?
More specifically a sword inheritance, many sword techniques filled his mind, as well a cultivation technique.
"I've hit gold!" He shouted in joy, but remembered he was stuck and sulked onto the ground.
"No, I can make it out, once I reach a certain cultivation, I can get out!"
"But these techniques, I can't use them, I don't know how, damn" with that he rose into power.
{Guys this is just a backstory of power, they all need some time, also it's not about this time period, it's when they become a mercenary group}
{10 Years Later}
After Lin Wu discovered the inheritance, he trained none stop for ten years. When he was stuck in the hole, he had to use Qi to feed himself. That being said, he quickly advanced in cultivation, also trying out some of the techniques while being stuck.
He rose fast with his godly cultivation technique, going from Body Tempering, to Golden Core in 5 months.
After 10 years, he rose to Body Transforming, making him a prominent figure.
