I wake up and my head is spinning like crazy and I feel so cold I look down on my body and.....huh .
Sakura :"What's happening"?
I can speak ? truly a moment to celebrate I look down and I'm naked but I take my time to measure myself and not half bad either for the body of a...10 year old ? huh how .
[plot convenience bitch]
No matter I need clothes now .
Sakura :"There has to be something to wear in this mountain of garbage here".
I look around and sure enough there is something to wear I take it out and It's a body.....oh well time to loot a corpse then .
Sakura :"Well I struck gold".
It seems like this man was shot dead judging from the bullet holes in his chest plate I undress him and he's already decomposed and dead I turn around and take a look at the armour set I scavenged from him . Upon further inspection the old grey armour looks somewhat fine in condition the chest piece had three bullet holes across the chest all aiming to what looked like the guy's heart .
Sakura :"Poor bastard this guy was probably assassinated"
But that doesn't concern me in the least . I continue to inspect the armour and it looks good only it's left leg armour seems broken beyond repair and it right arm seems destroyed as well the chest piece was damaged but manageable and the left shoulder pauldron had a large slash mark on it leaving a huge claw marks on it and the right shoulder pauldron larger that the left it seems like he was left handed huh . It was evident that this man had fought long and hard and whatever it is it was large and dangerous .
Sakura :"Ughh oh well let's take off the dead wait here".
I sighed and removed unnecessary armour to lighten the load at least for this 10 year old body of mine . I wipe the sweat off of my forehead and I wear the armour it took sometime but if fit me quite well at least all that remained was the helmet I inspect it looked eerie and unsettling even further more the place where the left eye would be had a huge slash mark on it that dug deep into the helmet it self leaving a lasting mark on it and it has no visor or eye holes to see out of and the wound was similar to the wounds on the shoulder plate and now wearing my probably old armour I put on my helmet and .
Sakura :"It's like I didn't even put on the helmet".
I could perfectly see my surroundings .
Sakura :"Wait don't tell me this guy was actually strong".
I look at him once more and notice him clutching a small black shield it seemed very precious to him .
Sakura :"Nah I'm snatching that gimme".
I grab it and inspect it . It made of black material and it even went against the grey armour that he wore but that won't be an issue but it did have an insignia but that was torn and unrecognizable all that was left was a huge split that almost broke the shield in two .
Sakura :"While I don't like the sword and shield style I can put it on my shoulder as a small jousting shield".
I put it around on the left pouldren and sure enough the claw marks on both of of them looked like they were struck at the same time .
Sakura :"Well now to cover myself up in something".
I look around for any cloaks or large jackets to cover myself up .
Sakura :"It would be a shame if anybody recognized this armour and said that I robbed his grave".
I look around and find a conveniently placed large red cloak that had a split down the middle and it was attached to a large red great sword I approach the weapon embedded and raise my hand to take the cloak .
(?????) :"WAIT"!!
A feminine voice shouted it even scared me .
Sakura :"Who's there".
I hissed looking frantically around for the source of the voice .
(?????) :"Please don't get any closer".
She whimpered .
Sakura :"Uhm listen here little missy I need a weapon and this one is gonna be mine got it"?
I unwrap the red old cloak tied to the sword and I tie the cloak around my neck and it feels warm and the sword in the ground it was emanating a red aura around it and it immediately dissapated . Thinking about my decisions I take the most obvious choice .
Sakura :"That's a fucking cool weapon".
(????) :"WAIT"!!
What....was....that ?
(*Sword POV*)
Man this really is boring how long am I gonna be here for a whi-- . Huh who's this kid...oh he's robbing a grave . I mean survival of the fittest and he's talking to himself I mean he's a certified freak . Wait what's this sense of comfort and warmth that I feel it's like I'm being held and I already notice him approaching me already .
Sword :"WAIT"!!
I shouted for him to get away from me . Though some wonder why the story goes back to the beginning of the world .
[Time to get the popcorn this one is gonna be a long one kiddos or you can read the sub chapter for the backstory of this sword]
Long ago where men were used as slaves for war and were treated horribly by the gods as "Divine punishment" men fought . I was created for one purpose to kill it didn't matter who I killed blood of countless filled every nook and cranny of my sharp edge and slowly by passage of time I was broken again and again chipped slowly and some even claiming me to be cursed as madness flew wherever I went and all who used me perished in the end thus I cannot allow him to touch me .
He got even closer than before no I can't .
Sword :"Please don't get any closer".
Young boy :"Uhm listen here little missy I need a weapon and this one is gonna be mine got it"?
He looked around puzzled as to where the voice was emanating from . The young boy got closer and untied me Blushing and my heat rises slowly I couldn't take it at all
wait he can't get close the curse it's going to kill him . Huh he already untied me ? eh HE IS WEARING THE CLOAK LIKE IT'S NOTHING???!!! THIS MONSTER HOW HOW JUST HOW !?
Sword :"WAIT"!!
I scream out hoping to get his attention".
(*Sakura POV*)
Huh d....did the sword talk or was it just me.....nah there's no wa-- .
Sword :"Please wait a minute".
She whimpered cutely .
Sakura :"Uhu well I'm a certified freak then huh".
Sword :"How are you not affected by the curse"?
Curse what curse don't tell me that these items are cursed !
[To explain cursed items in this world are living objects possessed by powerful emotions such as happiness or anything else what dictates how strong an object is it's current emotion and history for an example a 100 year old cursed dildo is stronger that a 1 year old cursed long sword these items have different classifications from the highest being S and the lowest being E with this it dictates how strong a cursed item is and they are said to never break no matter the strain they're put under]
Sword :"Well yes being cursed by me would bring madness upon those who touch me".
Sakura :"Is that so well that means no one is using you two then huh".
He looked at the cape as it was filled with a red aura and started to slightly hover and the sword emanated infront of him .
Sakura :"Yeah , I'm gonna take you now so be ready".
I grab the long grip of the sword .
Sword :"Wait even heros of the a--".
I pull the sword out with ease
Sword :".....".
Obviously stunned I take the time to inspect the blade and it's a zweihänder with an unusually large blade and the cross guards were also large with the left side being in wrapped and the same for the ricasso of the sword was covered in brown wraps the parrying hooks were smaller than usual . unlike usual zweihänders I looked at in the museum this one had no side rings instead it had cross guards as well but these were broken with one side being shorter than the other .
Sword :"You hate it don't you".
She said weakly .
Sakura :"What do you mean"?
Sword :"Usually swordsmen go for elegant swords that are light but with me being fat and covered in wraps.....I wish I was never created".
Self doubt eh....? well then I'll show her how worth she is .
(?????) :"Eh kid drop you sword and you'll go Scot free".
I turn around and find a bandit holding a scimitar he and the sword looked run down .
Sakura :"I'll show you how worth it you are".
Bandit :"Huh who ar- OH SHIT"?!
The man is cut off as I am infront of him and bring down the sword with all my weight and hit him splitting the man in two perfectly . I look back at the corpse and find my strike imprinted on the ground clearly showing my strength and it seems that the laws of physics don't apply here I mean a 10 year old swinging a heavy zweihänder that would be used as a ceremonial sword in the real world . It means there's another reason for my strength I look at the sword and see how much it really is damaged the blade being red from all the blood and it being chipped from both sides and the grip wrapped in bloodied wraps .
Sword :"Don't worry I'm cursed meaning I can't be broken and your strength is extraordinary".
Sakura :"So I'm unique you say"?
Sword :"Why yes for a child at least".
I paused for a moment and look at my hand remembering that there was something akin to magic in this world so that must be what is strengthening me then . I look at the cape and it seems to be reaching out for the dead body .
Sakura :"What is it doing"?
Sword :"Well the cape attacks with me meaning Any attack you preform the cape will follow suit and it requires being infused with mana to attack so you have mana and a large one at that".
I ponder the thought of how badass I'll look when I master this cape and sword combination .
Sakura :"So that means that which ever way I strike my cape will follow it"?
I breath in deeply and I use my weight and the sword's to lunge forward in a low stance and raise the sword above my head and with all my might swing the sword in a circle covering the hole area and the cape follows my sword's spinning slash leaving behind a feint glow of red it was truly impressive .
Sword :"Can I say something".
I nod at it looking at the potential I have with it .
Sword :"Where did you learn to fight"?
Oh yeah can't say I'm from another world .
Sakura :"I'm but a humble traveler".
Silence overtakes the conversation but deciding to change the subject to something more friendly .
Sakura :"So can you tell me the difference between mana and magic".
She breathed a sigh in disbelief .
Sword :"Alright listen up kiddo mana is inside your body and the magic is when it's being used for example your body is a container and the water inside you is mana and when used it turns into magic you got that".
Sakura :"Yes but isn't it too simple"?
Sword :"Yes , indeed mana is always regenerated but if too much is lost too quickly that would lead to incapacitation and eventually death".
Sakura :"So like blood loss".
Sword :"Why yes but it's a lot more volatile".
Sakura :"Volatile"?
Sword :"Why yes , a lot of things can go wrong for example if the magic being expelled is suddenly interrupted it will lead to a total shut down preventing one's self from using any magic or protection and the other example being that emotions play a big part in the magic being used rage enhances damaging spells and joy or happiness enhances the healing and supporting spells of course these can't be brought out unless the person casting feels these emotions deep down".
Sakura :"So you can't fake being angry or happy huh".
I look and take it all in and recompose myself .
Sakura :"say how about we leave then huh"?
