NIRVANA SHACKLES
CURSE WITHOUT DAY

“I'm tired. But, maybe because I had gotten used to running from place to place to avoid the bandits who were assigned to kill me. Originally, I had given up hope and surrendered my life to fate. If they find me, then I just need to give up my life for everything to succeed. But given what happened to my parents, I finally decided to keep getting up, despite always falling and getting hurt. For the sake of avenging me and the revenge of my parents, I cannot be weak. No, I can't even loosen my defenses and concentrate my goals. Tired if we feel and live too much. If we ignore that fatigue, then even fatigue will not beat us,” said Huang Chao.

For some reason, all the words spoken by Huang Chao were truly motivations that actually managed to stir up the spirit of Yu Wuxian who started to slacken whenever he wanted to give up. Everything Huang Chao said was true. If you want to avenge yourself and find the mastermind behind the tragedy of the destruction of his village, Wuxian must still rise to be strong.

In this cruel world, without strength, anyone would be easily oppressed. And the origin of that power is all sorts. Whether it was from social status and wealth, to incomparable prowess. One thing that will be taken for the first time by both of them is unparalleled greatness. And in order to obtain that prowess, they needed to fight to obtain it. Perhaps, they would take a long journey to become an invincible strong Swordsman.

“What is Yi City?” murmured Huang Chao in disbelief when he saw the appearance of Yi City that was not in accordance with what he imagined.

“What happened to this dead atmosphere? Is this a City? Why doesn't it look a single life?” Wuxian also muttered, thinking about what really happened to the City he was currently in with Huang Chao.

“All these houses and buildings look normal. However, is it inhabited?” huang Chao asked as he glanced at Wuxian who was standing beside him.

“What if we confirm it?” wuxian.

“Truely too,” said Huang Chao.

Both of them walked to one of the houses there. Huang Chao began to move his right arm, knocking on the wooden door of one of the houses in Yi City.

TOK. TOK…

Slowly Huang Chao knocked on the door of the house. If the house was inhabited, then, he would not bother who was there.

Unfortunately, there was no response from the owner. However, Huang Chao kept up his polite demeanor and waited until the homeowner came out and opened the door for him.

TOK. TOK.. TOK. Huang Chao knocked on the door once again. There was no response from the inside, until a few minutes later, the door opened slightly.

“Young people, there is need what day-afternoon bother us?” asked a Grandma from behind her door with her eyes closed.

“Sorry for interrupting. Let us ask. Why is it daytime This city is so quiet?” tanyakanya.

“Young people, you better get inside first.” Let Huang Chao and Yu Wuxian go inside. Something is indeed blocking. Either Grandma was blind or because of what, but both of her eyes were completely closed.

Not wanting to think more, Wuxian and Huang Chao entered the house of Grandma, after looking at each other with curiosity in each other.

The grandmother told Yu Wuxian and Huang Chao to sit on one of the chairs inside her house. She was accompanied by Grandma who was also sitting opposite them.

“It seems you guys are not local. Where are you guys from?” ask the old grandmother.

“We are from ...”

Huang Chao pulled Wuxian's clothes as Wuxian was about to answer Nenenk's question. Yu Wuxian also reflexively stopped his words while looking at Huang Chao's serious-looking face.

“Where to?” ask Grandma again.

“Em. We traveled from one area to another. Our house is not settled. When looking at the road of Yi City, we were interested in visiting and taking a temporary rest. However, we just do not understand..why does the atmosphere of Yi City feel quiet during the day? Has Yi City always been like this?” huang Chao asked, revealing all the uneg-unegs he had in mind.

The old granny looked mediocre and completely unsuspecting of everything Huang Chao had just said.

“Good. Not knowing who your identity really is and where you come from, it's not important to me either. Since you guys have come to Yi City, then you two are guests. What makes you curious about it, the atmosphere of Yi City?” tanyakanya.

“True. All the buildings of this City looked normal and there was no sign of a problem. Why does everyone in this city not look out for activities during the day? Is every building of this City inhabited?” ask Huang Chao.

“So that's all you want to know? Well, I guess I should tell him. Looks like you're just a little kid who just wandered. If you have been traveling in the world for a long time, surely you will know about the information of Yi City,” he said. “Kota Yi has always been like this. There is a legend that I might tell you, my time and your time will be wasted. Tell you what, I will only explain what you want to know about Yi City. Yi City is also called the City without daylight,” he explained.

Wuxian and Huang Chao looked at each other as they listened to what the old Nenenk was saying right in front of him. Quite a strange and unique explanation. That's what they both think.

“City without daylight? Why is it called that? What because.... everyone in this City is not active during the day?” Wuxian asked because he was very curious about the unique thing he had just learned at this moment.

“True, all residents of this City do not leave the house when in vain, and do not activity also during the day. It would be nice, no one comes out during the day,” he explained.

“Why?” Huang Chao asked with a serious expression, furrowing his eyebrows together and rounding out his two neutrals.

“Siang day is a misfortune for residents of Yi City. If anyone comes out during the day, then Yi City should start to be vigilant. I don't know what kind of danger will come, but it certainly does not bode well for us,” he explained.
