Nightsky full of twinkling stars combined with the shine of the crescent moon was an amazing sight to behold as a young man with fairly handsome features was seen walking...
Even though it was my usual path, looking at the dark and lonely streets I could feel a slight fear in my heart as I remembered, that the famous dakou incident took place here fifteen years ago. These streets once filled with blood and terror were now quiet and lonely.
"If only I had got a little more time, I would have scored much better" I mumbled Looking at the result of tests in my hands that I gave a few days ago.
I got 83/100 in that test but was still unhappy because the average marks scored in my class was around 75 and there were even some geniuses that scored hundred almost everytime
"To clear the entrance exams, I will have to work a lot harder than usual"
A spark of determination could be seen in my eyes as I spoke those words, not realising that, God has already chosen another path for me.

It was midnight and I couldn't sleep because of a strange feeling of emptiness, so I stood at the balcony of my house, looking at the sky that was full of stars
'Looking towards the stars and just thinking about the planets revolving around them makes you realise that you are just a small creature in an infinitely large universe'
Turning my eyes, I saw something that was easily one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life, a meteor with a long tale was flying among the stars
Busy in complementing the scenery taking place before my eyes, I didn't notice that the meteor was not moving at the same speed anymore and was slowly descending towards me
"huh why does it seems to be coming this way" The meteor shining brightly in sky seconds ago, was now descending towards me in fast speed
"W-Wait....
is it really happening?..
I am not dreaming right..
oh my god wha-"
A reflection of the bright light of the meteor could be seen in my eyes following an explosion
BOOM
Opening my eyes, I touched my own body to confirm it "I am still alive!!"
But looking up, the first thing I saw, was a sword half buried in ground
"What is this thing?"
The black sword was emitting an extremely dense dark aura that gave me chills down my spine
After carefully examining it for sometime, I finally got the courage to touch it and just seconds after I did so, the sword started vibrating as the dense aura surrounding it started engulfing me into its seemingly infinite darkness
My mind went blank and my eyes became red like a demon but instead of feeling terror, I was completely overwhelmed.
I could feel the power of this sword in my hands and this feeling, resembling a god was amazing, it felt like I could destroy the world...I wanted to destroy....to kill every single human...
no wait...I am a human myself...why are these thoughts coming to my mind? or rather what is this feeling, Uncounciously my eyes looked towards the sword that, I don't know how, was being gripped tightly in my hands
"These thoughts...these feelings are yours.. aren't they?"
The sword in my hands slowly vibrated, as if it was answering me in the calmest way possible

The next morning my head was spinning and my body was feeling weak as if I ran in a marathon
But soon my body started trembling again as I realised that the sword I kept near the mirror before sleeping was gone, This time again, involuntarily my eyes looked downwards, towards my hand that was gripping the sword tightly, the only difference being, that the dense aura was gone, so it looked like a normal sword
But after witnessing yesterday's event, one thing was clear to me, This sword was one of the divine weapons that were used by humans to fight the demons and a very powerful one at that.
But something is wrong here, why would a weapon used to fight the demons would possess this sheer hatred towards humanity, if I didn't control myself in time yesterday, maybe I would have destroyed the whole city already
What I needed the most right now are answers, so to find them, I went to the public library located in centre of the city of belarus
After reading books after books, I got a book named 'The guardian swords'
The book states much of what I already knew as how the war against the demons had always been fought through weapons left behind by guardians, from hundreads of years ago
But what caught my interest was a section about all the weapons humans have used so far, it contained brief description and illustrations of many swords, bows, hammers, spears and even knifes but it doesn't contain any information about the dark aura of my sword or anything about my sword at all...
I suddenly stopped, coming to the realisation of the fact that I called the sword 'my sword'...
The feeling of something trying to take control of you...to manipulate you....is awful, but I was feeling another thing that I never felt before, it was the zeal to find out about the secrets of this sword, even though it's trying to control me, I can't deny the fact that it's...
INTERESTING...
I didn't know when this wicked grin took over my face or is this behaviour because of the sword, but I found something important about me that day, That was the fact that I loved experiencing thrill.
