Chapter 4: Modern Style Carriage

What makes a human different from other species ?

Body ? Soul ? Shape ? Form ? Or their Intellect ?

In my perception, in my view and in my world, the difference between an animal, bird, fish, insect and everyone compared to a human is their perception over the world.

When I was born, I was no different from everyone.

"Sagar, why don't you study business or an account and in the future find a job in bank, office or some high income employment "

Everyone used to give me the same advice which I didn't need in my life, I had a plan for myself and that was something which I didn't ever get the opportunity to grasp.

"Sagar, your father is in danger of losing his light of his eyes, if properly not cared or treated, they can permanently go blind "

Everything was going down and down, no way for me to climb back.

"You want to quit studying ? Do you even know what you are talking about, you fool ?"

Neighbors and relatives, both were against my sudden decision. 

There were countless people to give me suggestions but no hands to help me in my weakest.

I tried my hands on everything possibly I can reach, practicing and refining them till I learned them for myself.

Skills began to gather within me but they didn't get the opportunity to outshine my expectations so I slowly started to not expect anything from myself yet the life was truly true to its given name — Bitch !!

I got in an unfortunate accident and got myself life-long depression,something that I expected to happen once in a million.

Family, friends, lovers, crush, hopes, dreams etcetera etcetera and blah blah blah...

Everything and everyone lost hope in me, left me and never turned to check on me.

My heart was growing colder and colder as time began to sound within my ears, I could feel the time. Each breath of time was powerful and destructive for me to suffocate, devastating enough to crush my eardrums and hard to see.

The color of time was black, everything was mysterious and nothing remained the same.

The futures divided into a myriad of realities were impermanent while only the end was fixated already by destiny, the only truth that stands permanently eternal for who knows how long.

My belief began to twist and turn, although I didn't like to listen and trust others since the beginning, I had some hope in those close to me and always with me.

But the time taught me to see through those fabrications and deception, awakening me to my own reality— Nothingness.

If I ever get to live a new life, I promise myself to be a man whom even I myself would never trust.

Douluo Dalu : The Unrestrained Demons

Volume 1

{ Volume 1 Opening Song { Destroy Your Old And Rebuild New }

The passage of time has left you then and now

But still you can listen those gentle ruthless breath of vicissitudes

Flooding temporal river where spatial ship drift by

You can find myriad realm born and die

Amongst one you stretch your fate to survive

Only for you to fall deep within heavenly abyss

Where monsters skin themselves to be a human

Even now after despite your reincarnation which you hold

Wanting to escape the cocoon to be a butterfly

Darkness shrouds your world

Coloring everything from bottom to top with void

You are but a simple tragic story defining million falling joys

Why don't you listen to me and accept what I have planned for you

Destroy your old and rebuild new

Outshine the world and rule the lords 

Be the supreme, go by the name of monarch

And transcend the law of the truth

Destroy your old and rebuild new

Burn in nirvana so to achieve samsara

Let everything disperse until you remain eternal

And the only truth

( Note : Just for fun )

" CLANK "

The smithy early in the morning wasn't active enough for passerby to hear their smithies and hammering, on the contrary to their active and lively atmosphere it was still in the process of opening.

But those gentle metallic collisions can still be heard resounding throughout the silence.

" Step-step "

Of course, the moment Sagar enters the smithy he is greeted by a whole new world of metal and irons.

There was a wide hall, on the right side of the hall hung a variety of well forged iron tools, here were not only farming implements, but further all kinds of armor and weapons. After all, in this world spirit masters were only a small minority. And the price of the weapons naturally had to be much higher than farming tools.

Huge men with muscular build, resembling mini versions of a giant were hammering an iron while some were burning furnaces.

"Oh, little Sagar, why are you here ?" Shi San notices the young boy and walks to him,  greeting him with a pleasant smile.

"Uncle Shi, I am here to make a small request which I hope you would accept " Sagar does not make the thing hard and comes to the main topic.

"Interesting " Shi San was interested when he saw those determined eyes of the child which seem to shelter some profound knowledge transcending that of this world.

"Okay, I shall hear your request" He guides the young boy to a seat closeby, after taking their seats he continues with great enthusiasm " Okay little Sagar, continue what you were saying? "

"Alright" Sagar nods his head, ready to speak his mind " I want to give you a big project where you can earn big "

"Huh ?" Shi San frowns and expresses his confusion " What do you mean ?"

"What I am saying is that, I want to do a partnership with you" Sagar seriously explains what he was planning within his head, confusing and surprising Shi San at the same time.

"Hahaha, little boy, what partnership are you even talking about, do you mean to say that you want to do business with me ?" Shi San felt funny listening to such grown up talk from Sagar. 

"Don't laugh, if you don't want to do it then say it but if you are looking down on me just because of my young age then I have to say that I am very disappointed with you " Those words causes Shi San to stop since Sagar wasn't joking right now, he can feel a terrifying fluctuation starting to show sign of appearing around the young kid.

Although the feeling Sagar was emanating was weak and faint, he can still tell that the power around this young kid is not something to take lightly — underestimation would only cause him to suffer devastatingly.

"My bad, I really should have restricted myself "  Realizing that he has gone too far, Shi San asked for forgiveness " Okay, this time I will not repeat my mistake and will hear whatever you have to say. so say it, I am all ears "

"Hm..." Sagar lightly hummed, albeit his irritation on Shi San, he still maintained self-restraint — a capable man knows when to do and when not to do.

"As I was saying, I have a business proposal with me which can benefit both the parties" Sagar smilies " While you will be taking fifty percentage of earning with you, on the other hand remaining fifty will be for me to take "

"And what kind of .....business proposal is this of yours ?" Shi San was still skeptical about the whole situation.

"While you will be the investor, production house and also the one doing sales, I will be the initiator of our projects, responsible for coming up with new ideas and scheme for earning money " Sagar smilies remains immortal, as if the dawn has arisen from the darkness, his eyes shines brilliantly with myriad stars. Giving the illusion of ten thousand worlds transcending divine tribulation before transforming into new evolution.

"My very first project after we formed a partnership is a transportation vehicle known as Carriage '' He stretches his right hand forward, reveals his fist and slowly opens his index finger.

"While there are thousands of such transportation tool in our current era, they still are Imperfect, lacking those qualities and advantages which a real carriage should have always possessed " Sagar suddenly reveals a mysterious smile and meets his eerie eyes with Shi San, unknowingly sending a cold shiver to his listener.

"Do you know what that quality and advantage are ?" Sagar softly turns his voice into whisper, illustrating his image into that of a devil for a second.

"...no" Although remained silent for a while, the enthusiastic blacksmith with a kind heart shook his head in response.

" Flick-click "

Sagar snaps his finger and clicks his tongue " Luxury and Safety "

"Luxury and Safety ?" Shi San tightly frowns, feeling as if someone has just mocked him.

If we have to talk about luxury, doesn't every noble and royal carriage possess diamonds, gems, gold and rare materials on their body ?

While for safety, aren't they protected by those powerful soul masters who train and cultivate for their whole life ?

And now you are saying that the current era's carriage lacks both potential and abilities ? You must be seriously mocking his intelligence ?

"You..." Before Shi San could finish his sentence, he was interrupted midway.

"I know what you want to say but I am not talking about those guards and diamonds,what I am talking about is something that is vastly different then those insufficient technology " Sagar shook his head, while Shi San remained skeptical yet listened attentively. 

Sagar nods his head after seeing Shi San has some patience left despite enduring so much bullshit so he didn't waste more of their time and started to present all his plans.

"What I am talking about is....." Sagar starts to explain everything about his project which caused Shi San to gasp for a long breath of air.

What Sagar explained is a business proposal of inventing the Carriage version of Rolls-royce, Bugatti La Voiture Noire and other luxurious Carriages with their unique functions.

First of all, he decided to change those carriage shapes into more beautiful and attractive ones, one befitting only nobles and royals.

Of course, he also talked about modern technologies and inventions, tires, tool kits and equipment for better construction, safety measurement and many more.

He didn't have many expectations when he planned about what he was gonna do but he didn't expect that things such as tires, airbags and many more can be forged and crafted with enough resources.

He was pleasantly surprised but more than that,  he was surprised with something else.

It was not a surprise but more like grief and complaints, something that made him sigh completely by defeat.

He thought that at most the crafting and construction, the production will only take some weeks or two but he didn't expect that, according to what Shi San said since this was something new and had not been practiced before, it may take an entire month or two.

This caused his heart to turn sour,  his mood completely falling within depression.

More than that, some hundred or thousand silver spirit coins were not sufficient to cover such a large scale project.

Both funds and time would need to be sacrificed in order for high return.

More than that, nobody knows whether the project would be a success or just a failure.

If it succeeds then there is no problem. But if it failed then.... it will cost them their blood and spirit .

Of course, Shi San said that he can loan a few thousand gold spirit coins from his friends and everyone for the project.

While there was a high investment and time consuming project, there was also risk and fear of failing the single milestone even before the journey could start.

"Don't worry, a great man once said before he died and left the world — failure is the mother of success . So we have to try before seeing the result, right ?" Sagar saw uncertainties within Shi San's eyes and tried to persuade him into joining his madness .

  After contemplating and hesitating for long time, Shi San grits his teeth and clenched his fist "Alright little Sagar, you convinced me in joining your little madness, you are also right about that one thing — Failure is the mother of success "

"Hehe, good then " Sagar chuckles and smiles brilliantly "Although I like that quote but don't forget this too — Failure is success in progress so don't disheartened yourself if we happen to fail "

Although he said all those things to Shi San, he himself was unsure if he could really succeed and not fail, the future was yet to be decided so he wasn't going to lose hope till then.
