" This might be it "

Marvin was holding a book and was inside a cave. Marvin had asked help from the system and the " Boss System" had told him that there was something that could make him grow stronger as a Swordsman.

He had gone to the place where the "Boss System " had told him to go and found this cave. Before coming here he had told his parents that he would be back after 1 and a half year and he had departed from the house.

TREMBLE

The book he was holding began to shake and felt like something was trying to invade his mind.

Suddenly the " Boss System " delievered a message

[ Boss been a long time eh! This cave is a place where an ancient immortal ancestor swordsman died after he got ambushed and was poisoned. You must be feeling something trying to enter your mind, well that's a system that the elder had prepared before dying. I am going inside the Qin system now.]

Marvin suddenly felt something leaving his head, he naturally knew that it was the " Boss System" going inside the Qin system.

Then again he suddenly felt something enter his head, he had a terrible headache as he laid in on the floor of the cave while clutching his head.

" Fuck it hurts " was the last thought before Marvin lost his consciousness.

Just as Marvin fainted the cave began to glow and a red crystal and a sword emerged from the ground. The red crystal was blood red and something was bulging inside the crystal as if it was alive and the sword was really beautiful with some runes engraved on the middle of the sword or saber.

The book too entered inside as it turned into light and entered.

Marvin was experiencing some weird shit in his dreams about a powerful Magic Swordsman fighting the people of the upper realms. He could say upper realms because there was no place such as that in this land .

Suddenly the sword and the red crystal trembled before they entered inside Marvin. The sword became a tatto in his arms and the blood red gem just entered his heart.

When the red crystal entered he trembeled before returning to the same fainting condition that he was in.

*******************************************************************************************************************************

After some hours Marvin regained his consciousness. " Am I still in the cave? " Marvin woke up and looked around and was relieved to see that he was still inside the cave.

He looked around and saw that the book had mysteriously disappeared. Marvin didn't panic because there was something in his mind that he was looking at.

Marvin had already understood that the boss system had gone inside the Qin system leaving this with him.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

He looked around and felt some changes in his body. There was a pond outside which was reflecting the light of the moon and was crystal clear. He stood up and walked towards the lake.

After reaching the lake he bent down his body to see his face and was little astonished. His previously handsome face had grown even more handsome and there was a golden ring inside his pupils.

He reached to his see his mana pool and was astounded by the amount. Even the so called sage only had the mana capacity of 118 if presented in numerical value.

“ It must be the blood eye even-though it's not anything like blood. “ he remembered the blood eye in the bloodline ability section. Marvin used looked at the skills and started practicing it. He surprisingly mastered all the abilities and skills in the interface inside 5 hours.

It was now midnight.

Just as he was getting happy over his progress the number rate of synchronization increased from 1% to 2%. he began to analyze something. After fainting he had received some kind of memory which contained the memory of the the ancestor who died there. Apparently at the end of the memory the ancestor had said that if someone received this the only method to unlock all the memories and skills was to fight and keep on fighting. His body too was more sturdy and bulky even though it somehow became bulky it was more flexible that his previous body.

Marvin realized that this interface didn't have a name so he decided to name It the sword system.

Marvin stood at the entrance of the cave, bowed and showed his thanks “ Thank you for everything ancestor, I will always remembered this and take revenge upon those who killed you. I shall destroy a kingdom if needed but right now junior has to increase his status and power.” With that said he quickly turned around and left towards the center of the forest to fight.

He was walking when he noticed something moving because of his skill “ Keen Senses. “

Of course he wouldn't use magic, he had to hone his swordsman ship and :

Become the heir of the family

Take revenge

Become a strong swordsman

“ There is a lot of things I need to do” though Marvin sarcastically.

Marvin noticed that he had no weapon when he saw some Level 2 Snake beasts coming towards him

The beasts ranged from Level 1 being the lowest and level 7 being the highest,

Marvin's right hand trembled and suddenly a beautiful sword came in his hand. “ Didn't know it was here, well whatever this must also be the inheritance of the ancestor.”

The sword was the same sword that had entered his arms in the cave.

Marvin wanted to admire the beauty but one of the snake suddenly launched it self towards him. He took a deep breath and followed the same thing that he had seen in the memory of the ancestor. He waved the sword and a perfect line of silver was created in the air cutting the snake in half like a butter.

Something began to glow in the snake, Marvin turned vigilant he thought that the snake had survived but the snake turned into light before entering his body. Some changes began to appear in his Sword Interface.

The synchronization rate had increased and his mana had gone by .1

He felt truly happy. Now he understood the meaning of mana absorption. The mana observed from the things that he killed would get the mana, most of the mana would go to the synchronization rate and other to his mana pool.

He was incredibly happy. What if he could complete the synchronization rate and adsorb mana without having to share. “ Not a good time eh! Let's fight, still a long way to go. “ said Marvin to himself and dashed towards the snake and killed it. The mana was being absorbed continuously and he was getting stronger an d more comfortable using sword.

After killing the horde of snakes. He thought about to check his interface when suddenly

ROAR

A huge 40 meters gorilla type animal with sharp claws and glowing red eyes was coming towards him.

It was a level 4 beast, the red eyes gorilla.

“ Become my mana you huge gorilla.” Instead of running or hiding Marvin shouted at the top of his lungs and waited for the gorilla to come to him.
