Editing Chen (section)

=Equipment=
Chen stood near the bow of the merchant Junk, inhaled deeply after his 5th pukes that stained softwood deck and sides of the keel as the vessel sailed into the wind. It was only less than half a day sail since Oriental Princess left the harbor from the realm.<br>

“Sun (UCS), how many more weeks do I have to bear…” Chen grumbled.<br>

This was his first time ever onboard a ship. A week ago, he had a lucky encounter with some unfortunate bandits who realized too late to pick him as target. With the little money he took from them, he bought a passage to the West. To where in the West? He has no idea. He just put complete faith in UCS’s suggestion, his divine arrangement. His instinct tells him that UCS didn’t give him such powers to see him pulverized for no good reason. Despite his dislike for sea route, he follows intuitively with little questions asked. <br>

Days later, the unexpected happen, the crews onboard are actually pirates disguised as sailors and merchants. They intend to restrain him only to regret their actions later with the penance of a sunken ship. For days, he hanged on to a floating barrel that carried him to an island near Diver’s Joy. He wondered if this is another piece of the divine arrangement. For a moment, he grumbled and later prayed to the Sun for a gentler approach next time. <br>

“So what is it that is so important that I beat down some vagabonds and sink a ship to get here? He questioned. He was again replied with silence. <br>

He explored the island and found a site crowded with human slaves run by the Yozis cult. He later discovered that the pirates that he put down earlier are one of the slave dealers providing the cult with manpower to complete their excavations and Temple project. The Fists of the Sun, infused with great sense of righteousness, could not tolerate such profane act, single-handedly wrecked destruction to the site. The slaves ran free. The cultists were either killed or fled. <br>

The leader of the cult, an Akuma, escaped the collapsing excavation site with a bag and seeks punishment to whoever did this. And he found Chen.<br>

The showdown was brief but brutal combat bathed in blasts of flames, lights and darkness. For a few moments, within a mile area was illuminated with bright day-light. Then with blow infused with heavenly wrath, Chen drives his crackling fist towards the victim’s chest, seemingly breaking every known bone in the Akuma’s upper torso, sending him on a short flight, 6 yards, towards a huge boulder, leaving a terrible crater upon impact. <br>

Chen felt an unusual resonance with the contents of the bags, and found artifacts of wondrous powers.  <br>

“What other valuables lies in the ruins? Maybe...,” Before he could complete his line of thoughts, they were interjected by the voice, “Go find the others like you!”<br>

Who? Where? How? He quickly asked and as usual there was only silence. <br>

While making his way out to the beach, he make attempt to draw the route to the site (he don’t trust his memory enough) so that one day, after finding the “others like him”, he may return.<br>
