Saber

A swordsman seeking invincibility, used by Lab 1718. Formerly called Duan Meng and obsessed with kendo, Saber came to Lab 1718 to transform in order to pursue perfection, but his memory was erased and he was transformed into a killing machine. The torture of his memories pushed him to permanently destroy the laboratory and set out in search of the past. ===Knowledge=== Deep in the northern mountains of the Riverlands of Cadia lies a quiet and peaceful village. This village is home to the legendary Tianyin Swordmaster sect and is also where Duan Meng spent his childhood perfecting his technique.

As soon as he was old enough to pick up a bamboo sword, Duan Meng was determined to become a great sword master. While everyone was still sleeping, he would already be training hard and would continue until the sun set and the moon was clear and bright.

He knew that the requirements for entering the Tianyin Swordmaster Sect were high, and so, after countless days and nights of training in wind, rain, and snow, the gates of the holy temple finally opened to Duan Meng. Soon, his extraordinary talent and obsession with swordsmanship attracted the attention of the leader, Master Longma, who was once a disciple of the Great Dragon and the spiritual leader of the Tianyin Swordmaster Sect. Under the guidance of Master Longma, Duan Meng soon excelled among his peers and became the leader of the new generation of students.

Over time, Duan Meng grew tired of the stoic life of personal cultivation in the mountains. His obsession with swordsmanship and his innate ambition made him eager to challenge stronger foes so that he could create his own legend and spread it across the world like the legendary swordsmen who inspired his personal journey. However, Master Longma refused his request to go down the mountain.

"It is not yet time. You have not yet become a truly invincible swordsman." The young and lively Duan Meng refused to agree with his master's point of view. He had enough confidence in his own abilities and hoped to improve his swordsmanship through constant combat alone.

Over the next few years, Duan Meng traveled throughout the Riverlands of Cadia, defeating one swordsman after another, including the adherents of the Dragon Altar. He continued to climb towards the title of “Best Swordsman” without a single defeat.

That was until Duan Meng met a man who would become his ultimate rival, Zhixu. This man came from nowhere and had no teacher. His life was like that of a sword, perfectly formed and complete in itself.

In their battle, Duan Meng was defeated, completely unable to fight back. In order to one day defeat Zhixu, Duan Meng isolated himself in the mountains and embarked on a painstaking training program for three long years.

At the end of these three years, Duan Meng felt ready to fight Zhixu again and came out of the mountains. But as fate would have it, his opponent made even greater progress during these three years. He was defeated again and his sword was even cut in two by his opponent.

Duan Meng's repeated failures reminded him of his master's words: "It is not yet time. You have not yet become a truly invincible swordsman." However, Duan Meng knew that he had already done everything he could and there was no way the sword in his hand could become any faster or stronger.

In order to seek a truly invincible style of swordsmanship, Duan Meng left the confines of the Riverlands of Cadia and traveled across the Land of Dawn. During his travels, he heard rumors about Lab 1718, that they could boost the human body's potential through artificial transformation, granting additional power. Duan Meng couldn't help but inquire further. If this rumor was true, he might still have a chance to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. As long as he could get stronger, he was ready for anything.

At that time, the evil scientists from Laboratory 1718 were also interested in this swordsman from the East. They were preparing a new augmentation project to create a human weapon. As soon as the two sides reached an agreement, an unprecedented transformation began.

After numerous experiments and operations, the project finally came to fruition and a being with mechanical strength, human sword skills, and sentience was born. But after waking up, Duan Meng had forgotten everything about himself, including his own name. His creator then gives him a new code name: Saber. A sword from the 1718 Laboratory, the Saber became a tool used to hunt down those who stood against them.

Of course, this was all part of Lab 1718's plan. They intended to attract the right person to help them carry out their human weapons plan. Once the transformation was completed, Duan Meng, who once dreamed of reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship, no longer existed. Instead, the merciless mechanical killer, Saber, was born.

Even though her creators were convinced that they had achieved great success, over time, the familiar movements, the feeling of holding her sword in her hands, kill after kill, day after day, something began to stir within Saber. As a warrior, he could not accept being reduced to the status of a mere killing machine, and could feel the memories buried deep within his mind fighting to be remembered again. He begins to question his own past and the meaning of his existence.

Late that night, tormented by fragments of his memories, Saber severed the neural control implant in his head, destroyed the humanoid weapons project laboratory, and embarked on the long, lonely path to exile.

In the years that followed, Laboratoire 1718 never gave up its quest for what it considered to be a failed product. Through the constant fighting and wandering that followed, Saber was determined to rediscover his name and origin. The fragments of his memory constantly bubbled to the surface, guiding him towards the slow discovery of his past. There was one thing he was certain of: he knew that he had not yet become a truly invincible swordsman and that he still had a destined opponent waiting for his next challenge.
