Absolute Power

Description

 

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely – unfortunately, absolute power exists in the form of a book, a book that no one has ever laid eyes upon, and a book that is sought after by everyone who knows of its existence, including the two rival sects: the Shushan Sect and the Demon Sect. For as long as anyone can remember, the two sects have been engaged in a fierce war that has stolen hundreds of thousands of lives, a war that can only be stopped when the destined Saviour appears.

And in the midst of their war, the Saviour is found – a perfectly ordinary boy from a perfectly ordinary family, he is nevertheless fated to be the one to save the world. But slowly, he begins to find that his new world is not as glorious as he once imagined it – and yet he has to save it. 

Foreword

 

Victoria Song (Qian): One of the orphans taken in by Shushan Sect. Since young, she has had an aptitude for martial arts, and is a highly respected member of the Sect. She believes firmly in the power of good over evil, and is a righteous warrior who will never let injustice go unpunished. She is a member of the Shushan Five.

Allegiance: Shushan Sect

 

Zhou Mi: A normal boy from a normal merchant family – or so he thought. When he is sought out by the Chief of Shushan Sect, he discovers that he is in fact the Saviour, destined to end the war between two rival Sects. Despite his rich background, he is a warm-hearted, humble man who’s more than willing to help the Shushan Sect in their mission.

Allegiance: Shushan Sect

 

Shim Changmin: A highly-skilled warrior, famed around the world, he is thought of to be the successor to the leadership of the Demon Sect. He is a dangerous man, and the murders of many Shushan Sect disciples can be traced back to him. Cold and heartless, he is a warrior to be feared.

Allegiance: Demon Sect

 

Zhang Yixing: The quiet, supportive leader of the Shushan Five, he is a man of few words. Highly skilled, he is filled with righteous justice and a desire to protect all the vulnerable and weak. At the same time, he is Victoria’s best friend and closest confidante.

Allegiance: Shushan Sect

 

Kris Wu (Yifan): The stoic, unflappable member of the Shushan Five, he is a deadly warrior and a man to be feared on the battlefield. Highly disciplined and trained, he is the warrior the Shushan Five look to when Yixing is absent.

Allegiance: Shushan Sect

 

Amber Josephine Liu: The tomboy of the Shushan Five, she is often described as a wild, uncontrollable force of nature. Like Victoria, she firmly believes in justice and has a strong desire to punish all evil in the world.

Allegiance: Shushan Sect

 

Huang Zitao (Tao): The playful, fun-loving member of the Shushan Five, he is the youngest of the group and is often spoiled by the others. Unlike his fellows, he does not care so much about right and wrong – as long as he’s able to have his fun, he’s happy!

Allegiance: Shushan Sect

 

Cho Kyuhyun: Deeply loyal to Changmin, he will follow the older warrior to the ends of the world. A ruthless soldier, he will do anything he is told to.

Allegiance: Demon Sect

 

Byun Baekhyun: Like Tao, he is fun-loving and playful. However, he is also a cruel warrior, taking enjoyment in the pain of others.

Allegiance: Demon Sect

 

Han Geng: The wise, powerful leader of the Shushan Sect, he is amongst the strongest martial artists that ever lived. Calm and unflappable, he is a father figure to all his students, and he is also the one who seeks out and teaches Zhou Mi his true destiny.

Allegiance: Shushan Sect

 

Jung Yunho: Chief of the Demon Sect, he appears to be a mild-mannered and reserved man, but is in fact a ruthless warrior, willing to go to any means to achieve his ambitions and desires.

Allegiance: Demon Sect

 

My first legit Zhoutoria/Changtoria fanfic! I was originally going to write this fanfic for JB/Jiyeon/Myungsoo but I realised that since it was going to be about kungfu, then Zhoumi/Victoria would be much more logical choices for the main characters.

This fanfic is inspired by Kung Fu Panda – the three main characters mirror three of the main characters in the original Kung Fu Panda, can any of you guess which three? In any case, yes, this fanfic is set in ancient China, and its focus is going to be about kungfu.

Edit: I've added some character profiles to give more of a clue as to who will be in the story - mostly SM idols~

Edit 2: Due to a growing fondness for Luhan/Luyoon, I've decided to give Luhan a bigger arc in the story, and there is a some possibility of some Luyoon interactions.

Chapter 7: Er, first... The left-hand chapter navigation bar says this is Ch. 16, not 6. XD

And wow. You did Krystal justice. O.o A bit mean of me to say, but I could easily imagine her in this role. >.>

You have an extra set of outside quotation marks, where Mi's head shoots up when Qian says he can prove he's not weak. ;)

Looking forward to more!

Lol, pure luck, Mi. XD Though pretty nice.

Kris to the rescue, yay! :D Love Yixing in here. <3

Chapter 7: Right at the start I was wondering where Kris was because I was suspecting that Yixing sent him to help. He cares for Qian, there's no way he's just gonna let her fight against Demon Sect alone. Still, that cold and aloof front he puts on still seems very shocking, and real.
Tall and large ears just make me think of Chanyeol:)

Chapter 7: whoaaaaaaaaaa you finally update this story. XD
is it Chanyeol? the man who has abnormally large ears?
i still don't have any idea about what Luhan and Yoona have something to do in this story. I mean, Luhan is just a scholar, a clever one, and Yoona... idk. but, well, i'll look forward the story goes on to find the answer. ^^
hwaiting! ^^)9

Chapter 6: woaaaaaaaa this is an interesting fic XD
since your question on the first chapter hasn't been answered in the stort, i'd like to guess. :3
is the man on the very first scene changmin?

' And his mind turned to her – she would be waiting outside, as always. Waiting, they both hoped, to congratulate him.'

is 'she' qian? so changmin (and maybe kyuhyun, too) was (were, if kyuhyun, too) part of Sushan act, and, because The Master didn't choose him as the saviour, he, feeling disappointed, betrayed them?

just a wild guess. XD

I like playful Amber+Tao and would like to see them trolling. XD

and i like the luyoon part, too. can't wait for their interaction. :3

update soon juseyooo~
hwaiting!

Chapter 6: Whoa. Definitely no KyuMi brotherhood here, I'll say. XD

That was... .__. Wow.

Ahh, an interesting turn of events for Qian, Mi, and Lu Han. Poor Lu Han... :(

Ah, Geng. >.> Still, looking at it objectively, I suppose he has every right to be suspcious/upset. So if Geng is the Shifu, then who is the Master? Hmm...

Love Yixing in here too. ^^

Great job on another chapter! :D
