Life Before Death

A vast field of green underneath the blue clear sky was filled with slow whispering wind. No one was there except an exceptional man, wearing white clothing. He looked so tranquil in such a beautiful place that could only existed in a picture or drawing.

His sick and pale face did not reduce his attractiveness for even a bit but even added a fatal charm to his appearance. Suddenly, he coughed hardly until blood could be seen sipping out of his mouth.

'Looks like this will be my graveyard,' the man with devilish charm thought in his heart. He was poisoned during one of his mission for his organization. He was powerful, if not he would be regarded as one of the deadliest man alive on earth. What he did not expect was the betrayal by one of his teammates.

He looked unafraid even in the face of the upcoming death as if he had no more regret after living on earth for almost 30 years. From birth he was only obsessed with martial art, practicing from a young age, taught by his old teacher. His only regret at the face of death was that he still could not see the end of his cultivation of inner strength.

Yes, you heard it right. He was a martial practitioner, cultivating both his inner and outer body, to realize all of the potential of human being. He cultivated his body to his utmost from inner to outer and from outer to inner, polishing his various martial arts and integrating it into one system which would suit him. This was his achievement in this life. If one asked him about his pride, he would answered it with confident that he was proud to be a martial art practitioner.

His sight was becoming darker and darker as time passed. He knew his death is coming, maybe in the next second, his heart would stop beating. At this moment, he cared neither for the reason of his teammate's betrayal nor the exhaustion he has experienced until his moment. He only stood up from the ground and start practicing his martial arts, as if it was the routine of his daily life. He wanted his life to end with the thing he enjoyed the most for this lifetime of his.

His body was becoming weaker and his five senses became numb at the moment but he still continued his movement until he could sense anything anymore. 'I guess this is death, huh.' He fully accepted his death. Of course what he did not expect that he was reincarnated in a world where his potential could be fully released unlike on earth where the heaven and earth energy was thin and was unsuitable for cultivation.
