I am Shin Shyva, I live in a peaceful village called Brisver Village, where the villagers here were all retired adventurers. They are now having a peaceful life in this village with their families. Some of the adventurers here were S Rank Adventurers and there quite A Rank Adventurers but almost all of the villagers were B Rank below. However, there is only one person who was a SSS Rank Adventurer, his name is Roger and he is the leader of the village, he is my Father.

My father is strong as if he is a noble or a royalty, however we’re not. He always train me on how to use a Sword and my mother teaches me magic. On my fifth birthday, my father gave me a present, a katana.

A katana is a type of sword that my father specializes. I looked at the katana that father gave me and said, “Father, isn’t this expensive? I like this sword but please don’t buy anything that is expensive just for me.”

My father looked at me with calm face and smiled, “Money isn’t everything son. This is your special day so accept my present. Besides, an ‘old acquaintance’ gave that to me.”

I looked at father with a confused face, “Doesn’t that mean that this isn’t actually your present for me?” My father laughed and said, “Well, he gave it to me. So basically, that is mine and I gave that to you as a present.”

I have an ability that can see that status of people, magic tools or items, and even weapons. I used Appraisal skill on the sword but I see nothing. It means that the level of the sword by far surpassed my capabilities.

Well, it makes sense that the sword is powerful because my father was a SSS Rank Adventurer, then that also means the his ‘acquaintance’ is also a SSS Rank Adventurer.

I went outside to try out the new sword I have, my father said that the sword can hold magic power, it means that the sword can be wielded by a knight. I held the sword and applied mana into it and it resonated to my rune. I have blue rune and it was a high class type of blue rune, it is as if the sword was especially made for me. I used a simple skill ‘fire slash’ to try it out. As I swung the sword, a huge fire like slash came out from the sword and cut the tree in half, on top of that, the tree is burning.

I was amazed by the power of the sword. A kid saw me and got frightened. Well, I am a weird kid in their perspective since I’ve never played with them once and I was always swinging a sword or practicing my magic.

I walked towards the kid and I saw a girl with green eyes, yellow short hair, and long ears. I tried to talk with her but she was scared. So I sat in front of her and opened my mouth, “Hey, I’m not a bad guy.” I smiled and added, “Look, I’m just a friendly looking human kid.”

The elf looked at me and said, “What was with that sword? I felt a demonic aura around it.”

Demonic aura? I thought it was just the weird aura that a SSS type weapon emits. I looked at her and said, “Demonic aura?”

She nodded and replied, “I am very sensitive to demonic power so I was really afraid by that sword.”

Hoh, so she was afraid of the sword, not me? i tilted my head and asked, “Why would you be afraid of a ‘sword’? It is just a weapon.”

Her eyes widened and said, “What? ‘Just’ a weapon? Weapons have feelings too!”

“It is not a living being. That’s common sense.”

“Common sense? Do you even know what is a common sense is in this world?

“Huh?” I looked at her serious eyes with confusion.

“My father was a weapon master. He said, all of the things here in this world has life. No matter if it is a weapon, a scroll, a tree, a book or any kind of things that exist in this world have their own life. Everything that has a purpose have a life.”

“That’s just a belief, why are you sharing that to me?”

“What?! A belief?! Do you even know what you’re talking about? Are you really clueless?”

“What?” My eyes widened and stared at her. She was about to cry so I wanted to calm her down but before I even got a chance to talk, she continued speaking.

“Some of the weapons chooses their own master, and if you forcefully use them, the sword itself will kill you.”

I didn’t know that, I thought she was just joking or just telling me a story he heard from her father but when I saw her crying face, I tried my best to calm her down.

“Calm down for now, what do you mean by the sword will kill you if you force them?”

She looked at me, and answered while sobbing, “I-it was just as I said, the sword will kill you. I saw one already, a dark elf trying to control a demon sword, the demon sword sucked the life force of the elf.”

I looked at her with disbelieving eyes, “Wait, you said that you felt a demonic aura on my sword right?”

She nodded and replied, “Yes, I said that.”

I summoned the sword and showed her. Her eyes widened real quick and got scared again that she pissed her pants.

I asked her, “Why? What happened?”

“It is the same demon sword that the elf tried to control.”

I looked at her and asked her, “Then, how am I using this? Are you saying that this sword chose me?”

“That might be the case.”

While we were talking, I sensed a very peculiar presence, a presence I’ve never felt before. The hairs in my body stood up as if warning me to not mess with this. I stood up and warned the elf to run away but she didn’t do it. She summoned a bow and aimed at the presence. I looked at her and nodded.

I pointed my sword was ready to attack but my body doesn’t want to move. The presence is now within our sight and saw a gigantic bear with ice on its back like it’s an overgrown spine. Its eyes are red and there is a fire coming out from its mouth.

I inhaled a little bit of air and then released it. I looked at the elf and said “I’m going to attack.”

She nodded.

I jumped and casted an advanced spell, ‘Fire Star’. Countless magic circle appeared and blew out fireballs.

The bear’s back absorbed my attack, the ice spine was glowing. I stood in a branch and I felt suddenly strong. I looked at the elf and used a buff on me.

I used another spell, ‘hellfire’ there is a ball of purple flames covered the bear.

“We did it?” the elf looked at me and smiled. I looked at her and said, “No, not yet.”

The bear wasn’t damaged by my attacks.

“What? It was an advanced level magic spell. Why didn’t it work?”

The raised its paw and strike me, I dodged its attack. I went back to where the elf is. I told her, “Get out of here now, this is something we can’t handle.”

The elf grabbed my shirt. I looked at her and said, “I’ll buy us sometime, you run and after I’m sure you’re safe, I’ll also scape.”

The elf was nodded and ran away.

The bear attacked me, the bear used ‘icicle shower’, ice flew at me like it was raining, it was hard to evade the bear’s attack while constantly checking the girl.

I jumped on top of the branch and raised my sword. The bear stopped and looked at me. The bear spoke, (Why does a human like you have the presence of a demon? I felt a demon aura on you and that you could wield that sword.) I looked at the bear with confused face, “What the hell are you talking about? I am a human at blood you idiot bear!”

The bear shrugged at my words and raised its paw, I felt that if I was hit by his incoming attack, I would surely die. I jumped away to evade his attack. I raised again my sword and I used an advance spell that my father taught me, “Demon’s Bane”.

I swung my sword at the bear, there is a black flame that cut the bear. Unfortunately, my attack was too shabby, and the wound I inflicted on the bear was shallow.

The bear looked at me with amazement and said, (You… A kid can use a demon’s advanced spell)”

I ignored him and I put back my sword on the scabbard and made a stance. I thought. Right… Why am I fighting with only magic? I’m a swordsman.”

I curled my knees and held the grip of the katana and used a skill, “Lion’s Strike”.

The bear did not realize that I’m already behind him and that I already cut him. The bear’s left arm fell on the ground. The bear jumped backward and looked at me with disbelief. (Hoh, so you can use that kind of skill to huh? You must be a knight. However… you have a bad luck. I am a demon from a demon realm, and not just a low rank demon, I am a demon earl.)

The bear’s arm regenerated and transformed into a being that should not exist in this world, a Demon. He has a human figure with a pair of black wings on his back and pair of horns on his head.

I looked at the demon in front of me and couldn’t move. “W-what the hell is that?!”

The demon looked at me and attacked me with magic power, he raised his hand and black matter was forming in his hand. He whispered, “Dark Flaming Ice.”

I looked around me and there was a lot of magic circle around me. Ice and fire was shot towards me. I used a magic barrier to protect myself but was not enough because I don’t have enough mana. The barrier broke after a few hits of his magic. I evaded his every attack but I did not see that one attack and hit me. I was thrown away and heard the bones cracking, and I lost my consciousness.

The demon looked at me and said, “You lowly human made me transform, interesting. But, this is your last moment.” He pointed his finger on me and used an offensive magic.
