1 Li Qiang

Modern Earth

In a forest inside a cave a young man around 18 years old was keeping moving forward without any fear but his senses are telling him to stop. After walking for ten minutes the light coming from the entrance of cave diminishes and a complete darkness has taken control all over him. He found the darkness strange. Living in the heart of a city, he had grown used to having the warming, orange glow of streetlamps outside his window, their light filtering in through the gaps in the curtains. This was a blackness that he couldn't recall seeing before - one that was almost absolute.

This young man was none other than Li Qiang . His face was well looking with black eyes and with a well shaped body. Everyone knows about him as the only grandson of the Li Feng and as next CEO of the Li Estates whose net worth is in Billions. His parents died in a car accident when he was six years old and only family member left was his grandfather . After the death of his parents his grandfather busied himself in work and Li Qiang feels left out. To overcome the loneliness he started to give his more time on playing video games, reading novels and learning martial arts. he has no friends and always remains alone. In one of the best online games he was the ranked topped throughout the country and third in the world .

Now in present time ,Li Qiang has to attend a representation meeting for a next project in the office as his grandfather forces him to learn about work as he will become the next CEO. Throughout the meeting Li Qiang become extremely bored and keeps yawning but still stops himself from sleeping as he can feel the sharp gaze of his grandfather . After the meeting ends he hurriedly left the office building while his grandfather was shouting from the back to stop him but he ignored it and make a run for his car. It was midnight and while driving he gets a call from his grandfather on his cellphone but he switched off the phone and throw it on the back seat. he was driving his brand new car on the highway with a high speed . Suddenly when he applied brake his face darkened as his car speed remains same and he becomes sure that breaks are fail down as he was in a very serious situation . As the upcoming road was a taking a curve he become tensed and hold the steering wheel tightly and make a complete turn but as the car was in high speed , his car cross the other lane and a car was coming from the opposite direction with normal speed . To avoid the collision Li Qiang , he hurriedly move his car sideways but due to great momentum his car pass the safety barrier and falls in the hill . This all happen in a few seconds while his eyes blacked out .

when Li Qiang open his eyes and saws his surrounding , he was still in his car which is completely wrecked. He still feeling dizzy as fresh blood was flowing out of his head and has extreme pain all over his body. After some time he control his pain and try to open the cars door but it was blocked so he make his way out from the car front shield as it was broken . After taking few heavy breathes , he falls on the ground and start checking his body condition . He can feel the broken bones in his body and a wound on his head .He still clenches his fist and stood up and exploring his surrounding .There was nothing but moon speckled darkness over all forest where his car has wrecked , but at least it was not the kind of utter blackness that swallowed a person whole, it was instead a shadowy world painted in grey-scale.

Now Li Qiang was searching for a way to climb to the hill to go back on the highway for help as his cell phone is broken down. He chose an barren path with more vegetation so with the help of it he can climb upward but still it was a long way to go.

While climbing he discovered a cave whose entrance was completely hidden , its entry was blocked by a natural boulder. Vines were crawled all over the boulder. It was simply impossible to find this cave unless someone knows its exact location. As the night was already past midnight Li Qiang decided to get help in morning and rest in the cave for now.

Now in present time when Li Qiang enters the cave , he silently sit down on the ground to catch his breath . He find out that cave was not small in size but it can be defined as a underground tunnel which goes down and he can't see its depth. It was common for young people to seek for mysteries and Li Qiang was no exception. So he decided to enter the cave and follow down the underground path and after walking for half an hour , the tunnel ends and he enters a hall which was empty and in the center of hall he saw a altar which was giving a ancient vibe and make him feel to kneel down. But he balances his body and started walking toward the altar.

Four pillars where supporting the altar on which paintings of ancient dragon were engraved and when Li Qiang saw these engraving he felt that they will come to life any second . When he climb up the stairs and he looked straight in the center of the altar where he found a square shape golden crystal that was shinning like a star . Subconsciously Li Qiang moved toward the crystal and out of curiosity , touched the crystal , the four pillars started to rumble and the engraving of dragons started to come out of the pillars like a spirit and started rotating above the Li Qiang.

The pressure on Li Qiang increases by the folds on his body and he kneels down still holding the crystal . He move his head upward to see the dragons roaring toward him and one by one they start flowing toward him and enters the crystal and when he move his eyes to see the crystal some inscription were made on the it just like the pillars. It was hard to describe what emotions were going through Li Qiang as he saw all of this. If one had to use a phrase to describe it, it'd be," It was breathtaking and heaven defying ".

The Hall started to rumble and the exit collapsed! Li Qiang panicked and fear aroused in his heart and Different kinds of thoughts started to appear in his mind while he saw several rocks smashing downwards. He was still young and have a good life ahead of him but it was all about to disappear. He started to remember the past memories of his parents and their happy smile , also his strict grandfather with whom he has less memory like a flash in mind ,feeling of loneliness and hopelessness started to stiffens his body . After few breaths of time his world started to become dark and his mind becomes blank as he lost his consciousness.

He did not that this will be the turning point of his life and a legend will be born !
