Ok, I believe there has been enough drum rolling.
My first incarnation in this world of martial arts was…
Take a guess…
Ok… fine… I'll tell you…
I was a…
Bamboo!
And one day I was cut down and carved into a flute-_-.
Finally, it seemed like I would have some good karma in my life! I was played by various musicians and always brought happiness to all who listened to me be played. I eventually learned how to play myself and evolved into a Spirit Artifact. I became known as the great flute of happiness.
However this peaceful life only lasted for a couple hundred years. Because following that the stupid little hoe came over…
However it had enough kp (Karma Units. Don't be mad, >_< I'm just reminding you) to come into the world as a human! F***!
And to top it all off, it was born into my clan. Eventually she, yes she not it, became the heir to the clan. But at this point I had evolved some spirit wisdom and could at least select my master. So when I picked someone other than her, he he… She was directly kicked out of the clan!
So much for all of her talent, she was directly abandoned all because of me!
But in her rage, she snapped me in half…
Well…
I had to return to the Netherworld again. But apparently the Netherworld King had decided to change some of his policies. From henceforth, nothing could reincarnate into the same thing ever again! Unless one was human, then one could reincarnate back as a human.
WTF?!?! I was so pissed. This literally meant I could never reincarnate as a bamboo again!
So I reluctantly paid all 2,000 kp I had been saving up till this point and reincarnated as a Phoenix Oak.
Along came a woodcarver and, welp, slash me he did!
Cut into a plank and carved into a zither I was.
With bits and pieces ground into fine wooden powder.
Small enough it irritated the eyes of some child,
And down my karma went!
However I was fortunate enough to live and be played for a couple hundred years and develop some spirit wisdom. I became well known as the great Lullaby Zither, before, you guessed it.
A certain hoe reincarnated into my clan.
And repeat his destiny I did. By choosing someone else, I got him kicked out of my clan and in a fit of rage he broke me to pieces. But so what, I was satisfied!
And this situation rinsed and repeated itself, with me transforming into various odd artifacts, and kicking him or her out of my clan. Until one day…
When I had enough kp to reincarnate as a human myself.
Now this is where the real story began…
