Chapter 5: Khan's Past
Khan sat by the river, staring at the lotus he had acquired after defeating the two creatures. As he inspected it with his ability, he saw flashes of memories that weren't his own.
Intrigued, Khan focused his energy on the lotus and suddenly found himself in a different place. He was no longer in the forest, but in a small village.
Khan saw himself as a young boy, playing with other children in the streets. He noticed that his younger self was limping slightly and realized that he had a deformity in his leg. This explained why he had been physically weak before he received the heavenly powers.
As he continued to explore his memories, Khan discovered that his parents were both dead and he had been living with his aunt and uncle. They had treated him poorly, and he had been forced to work long hours in their small shop. This had made him tough and resourceful, but also bitter and resentful.
Khan's one escape had been practicing his sword fighting skills. He had discovered a hidden talent and had been training in secret for years. It was this skill that had allowed him to survive in the forest and defeat the creatures he encountered.
As he delved deeper into his memories, Khan recalled a moment of betrayal that had changed his life forever. He had been betrayed by someone he had trusted, and it had led to the death of his beloved aunt.
Khan's world had been shattered, and he had set out on a personal quest for revenge. He had been searching for the person who had betrayed him, but had been led to the forest instead.
As he came out of his memories, Khan realized that he had a new sense of purpose. He had been running from his past, but now he understood that his journey in the forest was connected to his personal quest for revenge.
Khan knew that he had to continue to develop his skills and abilities if he wanted to succeed in his mission. He would need to learn more about the heavenly treasures, defeat his rivals, and overcome any challenges that lay ahead.
Determined to fulfill his destiny, Khan stood up and continued his journey into the forest, armed with his sword and the memories of his past.
