Jade Emperor: Legend of the Lake Shadow — Knight Yosho’s Descent Progressive Rock Type Beat
The air in Genkai’s temple grew thick with the scent of old parchment and herbal tea as the legend unfolded. Yusuke sat cross-legged, his brow furrowed, listening to a story that sounded far too much like a history lesson he’d skipped in junior high—until the name dropped.
The Legend of the Fallen Heir
Long ago, the Jade Emperor ruled with a fist of cold stone. He wasn't just a king; he was a cosmic tyrant who saw the world as a chessboard. Under his command were four mystical dragons, ancient beings of elemental power who served as his enforcers.
However, the dragons possessed something the Emperor lacked: empathy. Witnessing the suffering of the mortals below, the dragons defied the Emperor’s decree of isolation and descended to the human realm to bring rain and hope.
The Emperor's Hidden Gambit
The Emperor wasn't just angry at their disobedience; he was enraged because their "mercy" interfered with his long game. He had been grooming a successor—not a dragon, but an Imperial Son born of the Meridian bloodline in the heart of the Demon World.
This prince was whispered to be the greatest swordsman to ever draw breath, a warrior whose spirit energy could cleave the sky. But on the eve of his ascension to the throne, the prince vanished. No body was found, no goodbye was left. He simply stepped out of the palace gates and into the mists of time.
The Realization
"His name," Genkai said, her voice raspy but sharp, "was Yusuke Urameshi."
Yusuke blinked, pointing a thumb at his chest. "Wait... that legend is about me? I’m the missing prince of some 'Meridian' kingdom? I thought I was just a kid from Sarayashiki who got hit by a car."
Prince Phobos leaned against the doorframe, his eyes narrowing. "The blood of the Emperor runs in your veins, Urameshi. Whether you want the crown or not, the Jade Emperor hasn't forgotten his investment. He’s coming to collect."
Yusuke cracked his knuckles, a familiar, cocky grin spreading across his face. "If he wants his 'Imperial Son' back, he's gonna have to deal with the Spirit Detective first. But if we're doing this, I'm not flying blind."
"It’d be nice to know the enemies' numbers and exactly where they’re hiding before they show up on my doorstep."
Current Intel: The Emperor’s Vanguard
According to the scrolls Phobos brought, the Jade Emperor’s forces are gathering at the Threshold of Mists. Here is the breakdown of what you're up against:
