Land of No Order

It was not a forbidden land, but anyone below Martial status would not dare enter here. This was because of the creatures that were living in the Land of No Order. Everyone knew that the Realm of Divine Martial Arts was strictly controlled by the three forces. They had a finger in every pie, and they were omnipresent. They had created a strong social class that couldn’t be beaten. However, there were always those who wouldn’t like to be lorded over. Some people were willing to fight to remain free. So these people gathered together. They chose to live in an area that the three forces would never want. That was the origin of the Land of No Order. In the beginning, the three great forces didn’t think much about the Land of No Order. They regarded it as a island of anarchy, where a group of undisciplined people without ambition abandoned themselves to vice. However, now the three forces regretted that they had not eliminated the Land of No Order when it had been weak. This was because, since it was not under the rule of the three forces, many outlaws, some of whom were wanted by the authorities in different lands, had settled here. Over time, the Land of No Order turned into a place where people acted ruthlessly and cruelly. Just as its name suggested, it was without order. It valued the law of the jungle, where might made right and only the strong survived. At first, this had been a place where a group of people who sought freedom had gathered. Now, however, the Land of No Order was a synonym for darkness. It was said in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts that the hands of those who survived one month’s living in this Land would have to be stained with blood.

The Land of No Order consisted of a giant basin surrounded by high mountains. There was a very flat plain at the centre. Eight cities had been built on this plain over these years. The entrance was in the oldest city, Freedom City. After the expansion of many years, Freedom City was already a jumbo city. Freedom City was a giant city, but it was not magnificent. The buildings were of many different styles, but they were all a drab colour. It was quite a depressing city. This was not the only problem. Most of the buildings were also quite shabby and had been damaged to varying extents. Everyone who lived in the city was used to it. No one had the slightest intention of doing anything to fix the buildings or try to make them more appealing.
