# Saber A master swordsman whose pursuit of perfection led him down a dark path, Saber is a disciplined yet relentless fighter driven by fragmented memories of his true identity. ## Background Duan Meng's story began in the tranquil villages nestled within the northern mountains of the Cadia Riverlands, home to the prestigious Tianyin Swordmaster Sect. From childhood, he demonstrated unwavering dedication to the blade, training relentlessly from dawn until dusk to earn acceptance into the sect's hallowed halls. His exceptional aptitude and singular focus on swordsmanship quickly caught the attention of Master Longma, the sect's spiritual leader and former disciple of the Great Dragon. Under this legendary mentor's guidance, Duan Meng ascended to leadership among his generation of students. However, the sheltered mountain life eventually grew suffocating. Ambitious and confident in his abilities, Duan Meng yearned to test himself against worthy opponents across the Cadia Riverlands, believing that genuine combat was the only path to achieving legendary status. When Master Longma refused permission, cautioning that he had "not yet become a truly invincible swordsman," the headstrong youth departed anyway, embarking on a campaign that saw him defeat numerous adversaries across the region without suffering defeat. This winning streak ended abruptly upon encountering Zhixu, a mysterious swordsman with no formal training whose technique proved devastatingly superior. The encounter left Duan Meng humbled and driven. He retreated to the mountains for three years of intense isolation and training, only to face Zhixu again—and suffer an even more crushing defeat, his sword shattered by his rival's blade. Recognizing the limitations of conventional training, Duan Meng ventured throughout the Land of Dawn seeking knowledge of transcendent swordsmanship. His travels led him to discover rumors of Laboratory 1718, an institution capable of augmenting human potential through artificial enhancement. Desperate to bridge the gap between himself and true mastery, Duan Meng agreed to undergo their experimental transformation. The process stripped him of his identity entirely. Reborn as a cybernetic weapon designated "Saber," he became an emotionless instrument of Laboratory 1718's will, executing their orders without question. Yet prolonged exposure to combat, to the sensation of the blade in his hands, awakened something dormant within his augmented mind. Fragmented memories surfaced; the warrior within refused subjugation to mere machinery. One fateful night, Saber severed his neural control implant, destroyed the facility that created him, and vanished into exile. Since his liberation, Saber has wandered the Land of Dawn, hunted relentlessly by his former creators while gradually piecing together his lost past. Piece by piece, memory by memory, he reconstructs the identity of Duan Meng—and remains haunted by an unfinished duel with an opponent who still awaits him somewhere in the world.
