1 The Anomaly Encounters a Falling Star (1/2)
The cultivation society had reached its peak. Ordinary people were a dream of the past. In today's world, humanity had completely evolved, and the entire population managed to reach level one within a few years of birth. At least that is what society believed anyways. There existed a single anomaly in this world, one person who remained ordinary despite humanity's advancement.
At this moment, a young man was walking down the sidewalk, passing by street vendors with his nose stuck in a book. He ignored the vendors hawking their goods, as much as he was interested in the items such as flying swords, mystical treasures, and enhancement pills, the truth is they were all useless for him for this young man was that very anomaly. This young man's name was Yu Chang, and his world is about to come crashing down on top of him, quite literally.
On the far side of City A, a young female cultivator around the age of 27 was sprinting through the sky. Her dao name was Falling Star. She was given her dao name for her tendency to ”fall” from the sky upon reaching her destination. It was in such a way that the Anomaly was fated to encounter a Falling Star.
Yu Chang was still casually strolling through the city when a shout came from above.
”Little brother daoist, please step to the side.”
As Yu Chang wasn't a cultivator, he continued on, ignoring the shout. After all, that person couldn't be talking to him since he wasn't a cultivator. Unfortunately for him, Falling Star was unaware of his situation, and the ”little brother daoist” she had called out to was precisely Yu Chang. With a crash, the encounter came to pass.
Sitting on top of Yu Chang, Falling Star sighed. ”What's with you little brother? I tried to warn you, but you just ignored me…” Falling Star's inquiry was interrupted by the fountain of blood spurting out of Yu Chang's mouth. ”Oh, that's not good…”
Still straddling Yu Chang, Falling Star accessed her mystical storage system and pulled out several healing drugs of varying strength.
”I don't know which one of these to use. Hey, little brother wake up, tell me how strong you are so I know which medicine to give you.” Yu Chang gave no response as he continued bleeding out. ”Well, I can rule out level seven or higher, since he would not have been hurt so bad if he were that strong. I'll just give him a combination of all the medicines for levels one through six, one of them should work…” With her choice made, she stuffed the opening of several medicine bottles into Yu Chang's mouth one after the other, pouring the medicine in.
Falling Star observed Yu Chang carefully. She noticed the little brother's bleeding had stopped, and shallow, ragged breaths escaped from his lips, but he did not wake up. Falling Star's perfect brows furrowed while she was deep in thought. She was trying to decide what to do next. Finally standing, she stomped on the sidewalk leaving a meter-deep hole in frustration. ”Such a perfect morning ruined… Come on little brother; I'll carry you to the hospital.” Falling Star bent over and scooped up Yu Chang, carrying him in the legendary ”princess carry” style and took off again.
Five hours later in the hospital waiting room, a female doctor abruptly entered.
”Senior Star, you're little Yu's senior sister?” the doctor asked skeptically.
