Eden city
Walking around the City bored out of my mind, many thoughts ran through my head thinking of a solution, a way out of this boredness. This continued for awhile until it finally hit me.
"Ahh... Yes I don't have a weapon, I should really get one and I should also get used to my strength as a peak body tempering realm before thinking of breaking through" I thought to myself as my legs automatically walk to the most famous shop in the city, the "millennium store" it sell basically everything ranging from clothes and pills to weapons and rare treasures. One might be wondering why has no one made any move on it well that because a kingdom whose peak power was a primordial spirit realm expert vanished in one night after trying to steal the store treasures,that just shows the terrifying power behind the millennium store.
Entering in I was immediately greeted by a cute innocent looking young girl with brown hair.
" Greetings young master how can I be of service to you" the female worker said.
"Yes I am in need of a sword"
"Come this way young master" the attendant said as she carried me to the third floor were they keep the weapons. Vanessa discided to look around the first floor were they are selling accessories and clothes.
"Well I guess she is still a woman after all" I silently thought as I follow the attendant upstairs.
Reaching the third floor I noticed a variety of different weapons on the shelfs even the weapons I don't know of are here.
"young master would you like to move around"
"Ahh... Yes of course"I said coming back to my senses. Walking around I noticed a few powerful and suitable sword.
The first one is a blue sword called the ocean slasher, it's a peak low grade artifact.
Just like cultivation technique equipment or weapons are graded they are as follows; artifact, magic weapon, mystic weapon and dao artifacts.Which are also divided into low, mid ,high and peak.
The second one is a clear white sword called the reflective light, it's also a peak low grade artifact. While the last one is a obsidian black sword called the night devourer which Is the same as the rest a peak low grade artifact.
After some time contemplating I decided to go with the night devourer. So after deciding I was carrying it to the counter when my eye got attracted to something at the corner of the room, curious I went forward to take a look and it turns out to be a sword well sort of as it's slightly curved. Carrying the sword I unsheathe it and a peach black 1.5 meter long single edged blade apear before my eyes, swinging it around a couple of times I called the attendant.
"What is this thing" I asked.
"That's a katana young master and it's doesn't have a name, it's was given to us by an old blacksmith".
"Then what's it doing on the floor"
"We initially placed it on the shelf but after seeing many people not buy it after a long time we discarded it"
" Is that so, then I guess I will take the two of them"
"Alright young master that is 20 gold coins". She said
"What!... only twenty but if I remember correctly you guys sell one peak low grade artifact around 25 gold coins and I am buying two of them". I said confused
"That's correct young master but we made an exception for you and sold the night devourer sword for 20 gold coins while the other sword, well since i was about to throw it away I decided to give it to you as a gift, consider it the millennium store birthday gift for you".
"Well thank you for your kindness,I am grateful" I said happily as I kept the swords".
Coming back down, Vanessa was already done with her shopping so we left the store and went back to my house.
Arriving home Michael was already about to leave so my dad and I sent them off.
After Michael left leaving me and my dad standing, my dad noticing I was holding something asked "what's you got there alen"
He asked curiously.
"Nothing just a few weapons I brought", I said causally.
"Oh so you brought weapons huh... Am guessing you would soon head Into the forest and train"
"Yeah am planning on heading out tomorrow"
"Alright just be careful and be vigilant if you see anything suspicious"
"Anything suspicious"? I asked confused.
"Don't ask and just be careful alright"John said with a serious expression.
"Sure dad"I answered still confused.
Later that night I cultivated just to strengthen my foundation, after that I took out the swords and get familiar with them before I head out for training tomorrow. The sword wasn't a problem to get used to since am familiar with it but the katana surprised me the most since because the moment I held it i felt a strong sense of familiarity, confused I swung the sword and felt a sense of closeness as I keep swinging the sword. The more I swing the more good I get in using it. Time flew by as I was immersed in the feeling of swinging the sword before I knew it it was morning already, reluctant I stopped practicing and went to took a shower. In just one night my mastery on the katana has surpassed my mastery of the sword which is truly shocking because I have been practicing the sword since when I was little but it got surpassed by the katana in just one night.
Finish bathing I dressed up and packed the necessities because I won't be coming back for a week.
Leaving my room I went to talk with my parents, my dad all ready knows about it but my mom gave a strong rejection to the idea. It wasn't until my father pleasing and my promise to be back safe did she finally relent.
After getting my parents approval I immediately left, I didn't follow the main gate of the city instead I followed a secret passage to outside the city.
This was my first time stepping out of the city, I felt a sense of excitement and adrenaline as I imagined what I will face and the of adventures I will have. Moving forward for about 10 minutes I appeared in from of towering ancient Green trees that blocked out the sunlight with their leaves, "this must be the evergreen forest,I truly lives up to it name", I mused as I took my first step into the forest.
