----- Nobelias Hospital -----

"Uagh... What happened?" I mumbled while slowly getting up.

"Huh? Doctor Marylin! He's awake!" A woman in her 20 screamed and rushed outside of the room.

"Where am I? Wait... Uagh.. My head, it hurts, f*ck."

Suddenly I heard something somewhere, "Finally I'm out. Damn, it was getting boring in there.", a deep and sinister voice. Whatever that thing is, it has a lot of bloodlust leaking out.

"Who is this? Stop leaking so much bloodlust. You'll scare someone." I said with a cold voice towards whatever and wherever it is.

I feel like there's something important missing inside me.

"Oh? Good morning, 'Master'. Have you rested well, because I want to do something fun." The voice said with even more bloodlust leaking now. Why don't I feel anything towards this massive bloodlust

"Who are you, and where are you? And why are you calling me master" I asked with a commanding tone, like an order to tell me everything.

"I am the thing mortals call a soul weapon. Although I'm a bit different. My name is Aladarius Grandas. I am the former 'Reaper' or what you would also call 'Death'. I was sealed in this weapon swimming around for centuries, maybe a few millenia. I don't know, I lost track of time."

"So, why do I have you? And how are you sealed in a soul weapon?" I asked confused.

"Oh? I'm here because I felt that you had a connection to my world, the 'Original World'. You were probably sent here by an Elder. I felt that you are going to be a powerful being someday. So I tried to get into your soul with all my might, as you can see I made it. I couldn't wait any longer, I wanna kill someone or something so bad. It was so long since I last tasted blood. Let's go do something right now!" He said with a still increasing bloodlust that could let a whole city faint, but luckily he compressed so that you could only feel it in this room. If someone were to come in here they'd fall into a coma probably. Wait, didn't that lady earlier say 'Doctor Marylin'? Oh no! My mother, if she comes in here-

"Stop leaking your bloodlust, even if it's compressed. If I'm your master now you need to listen to my orders."

"Oohh no fun." He said while clicking his tongue.

Right as the door was about to open he retracted his bloodlust.

As I sat there, several people came into my room. It looked like there was my mother, a nurse, several guards (?) and... The King?!

My mum rushed to my side and gave me a big hug.

"Mom? Why ar-" I wanted to say something but was interrupted by my crying mother

"You scared us all so *hick* much *sob*, you were unconsious for the last 10 days. *hick* What happened?" My mother was crying her heart out, I mean she could have lost her son. Anyone with a heart would be sad and crying.

"Mom, I'm okay." I told my mother with a reassuring smile "I don't know what happened. All I know is that I've got my soul weapon!"

"Do you mean that scythe? That's your soul weapon?" My mother asked still sobbing a bit.

"Ehem. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but could I talk with your son a bit?"

My mother looked at me worried. "I'm okay, mother. I am listening your majesty." I said while lowering my head in respect.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"Thank you very much. First, I would like to ask you to take out that scythe." He looked at me with a serious expression.

"Okay." I said while manifesting my weapon into reality. While doing that my hair was transforming into a deep black, my eyes were a raging purple again and the black veil wrapped itself around me like a coat.

The atmosphere grew tense and the only thing you could hear was the blood dripping from my head.

"I've never seen anything like that, neither was something like this recorded anywhere in the ancient scrolls. You can put it away now." He stared at me with curiosity and fear in his soul."Can you walk? I would like to continue with the ceremony, you didn't complete it like everyone else."

"Sure, It's not as bad as it looks, my head still only hurts a bit." I said while getting up.

"I'm sorry but I can't come with you but I will inform your father and your sister immediately. They're both at home right now, so when you're down you can go there." My mom gave me a goodbye hug and then we went to the ceremony hall again. As we sat in the carriage the king nervously looked around, it looked like he was worrying about something.

----- Ceremony Hall -----

"Alright we're here" The king said while getting off the carriage and walking towards the hall. "We will measure your magic power now (WN: capacity of his mana pool) and then wevwant you to do a test fight against a guard."

"A test battle? That's not part of the ceremony?"

"We only want to test something. Alright, come here and put your hand on this crystal, It will measure your magic power."

I walked over to the big white crystal and put my hand on it. Suddenly, the crystal gave off a bright yellow shine.

"Such magic power. We can't let his talent go to waste. Leo, you'll go to the magic academy, right?"

"Yes, I will" I replied knowing that one gift of the mighty being was a big mana pool, i think?

"Alright, give it your all in the academy! Now, let's go to the arena near the academy."

------- Arena-------

"We're here. Isn't it just magnificent? Ok, Jedro, your gonna fight against him. Both of you on the field and take out your weapons. The first one who is rendered unable to fight will lose."

Jedro is a big and sturdy man with big muscles and he could overpower me if we were to fight with raw power, but with memories on how to fight with a scythe planted into my mind by the higher being I will overpower him with pure skill. I can't use Magic yet but I'm confident that I can win.

The moment I took out my scythe again the bloodlust from Reaper (WN: That will be the scythes' name for now) leaked a bit. It may have been just a bit but it could make a veteran wet his pants in fear. I could see the horror and fear in everyone's eyes as I looked around. I tell Reaper he should stop it from leaking, and so the unbearable bloodlust disappeared. The usual transformation happens and I'm once again a shadow with blood dripping on the ground.

Jedro's soul weapon was a big dark hammer that had the aura of Elefant that could smash you anytime. The problem is, Reaper's bloodlust scared him. He may not be able to focus as good anymore. It's a plus for me so I guess it's okay.

"Are you ready?" He said nervously, still shaken from the bloodlust.

We both nod and "Let the battle begin"

Instantly, Jedro rushes to over to me and hammered into the ground from above. I stay there wide-eyed because that could've seriously injured me, if not killed. If we fight like that, then okay.

He quickly turns around and swings his hammer at me. I jumped and swing my scythe at his head, but before I could reach it he punched me in the stomach and I flew quite a bit before landing on my feet again and instantly charging at him. He jumped and suddenly *RUMBLE* It was an earthquake! "Magic!" I lose balance and fall down. He wanted to use my fall to smash me in that little moment. Wait, I can use this as a chance too. I waited until he was in reach, then I turned around, pushed myself to the right, jumped above him and hit him as hard as I could with the with backside of the scythe. The hit rendered him unconsious and-

"The winner is Leo Kuara." As the king declared me as the winner of the match, the other guards stared at me with suprise and disbelief.

"How did you learn how to fight with your weapon without training with it even once?" The King asked, he too couldn't believe it.

"I don't exactly know either, what I did just felt right, I guess? Hehe"

"I hope you will study and train well in the academy so you can defend yourself and those around you with your power. I just have one question left... How did you get such intensive bloodlust? Even a veteran like Jedro got scared because of it."

"It's a secret."

The king let the matter go, but still curious. After that I got a ride home from the royal carriage and It was pretty comfortable.

When I got home, my father and my sister stood there waiting for me to come home. They ran over to me and gave me a long group hug.

"Are you okay Leo? We were worried about you." My father said with a worried face.

My sister nodded furiousfly and also asked "You're okay now, right?"

"Yes I'm okay, no need to worry." I replied with a warm smile.

When we got inside, food was already standing there. We ate and then went to bed.
