"Uwaa, the sword is talking!"

The black sword suddenly talked to me, I was surprised and dropped it on the ground.

The moment, I dropped the sword. The forcefield around me disappears and tentacle came rushing towards me. Seeing it I quickly moved to the side dodging it by a hair breath.

I felt better than before but my body suddenly felt weak when I dropped the sword.

-I might be mistaken.

-What is this... The sword is talking-

Although it talked, it probably used some mind-reading skill as a mediator; this black sword surely has its own intentions like a person.

I examined the sword as the culprit retract it tentacle once again. It was like a Japanese-style sword. I have seen in anime. I have never seen a talking sword but everything here is new to me. A man with tentacles. Elf. Succubuses. Everything is weird.

When I heard it say that it was also summoned, I felt something like a sense of affinity from it.

I still felt like it was saying 'Grab me' again and again. Its way of talking is full of pride, however, I didn't feel any malicious intent when I first touched him and it even offered to help. If it meant to harm me than it should have just left me alone.

"kill kill kill!!!"

The menacing muttering of the culprit could still be heard as he prepared his tentacle for the second attack.

Seeing the threat before me, I realized that the sword was the only thing that could save me so I quickly grabbed it.

The moment I grabbed the sword, I felt a strange surge of energy inside my body.

( I thought you were gonna run away, you're the interesting fellow. Then are you willing to use me?)

"I have no other choice. Though stop phrasing it like that. It's disgusting"

(Hehehe....Then follow my orders.)

I simply nod despite feeling irritated at his commanding tone. Standing up, I took a combat posture from a sword-fighting film I saw. Prepared to attack the monster before me.

"DIE!!!!!"

With the scream that can tear any person eardrum, the monster rose his tentacle for an attack.

(Jump Left)

Wha-

Simply following his order, I jumped to the left. Dodging the tentacle.

It isn't right to say that I dodged it. It was more like I was saved from any critical injury. It scratched my chin but the wound quickly healed.

(Fire mode ON)

With the words, the once black sword become covered with flames.

(Move it forward.)

"Whaaaaaaaaaa.......!??"

 I moved the sword forward to find an outburst of flame pushing me back deeper into Alley.

Being aware of the danger before me, I swiftly gained my composure and quickly hide behind a corner taking complete advantage of the dark night. I could still hear the sound of his babbling from the other side.

"Kill!Kill!kill!"

(Make your move now!)

I heard Mineka's voice who gave me the signal to attack. I moved and slashed down my black sword on one of his tentacle that was visible from the corner.

Gyaaa-!?

The tentacle which was chopped down writhed for some time then become completely lifeless. The culprit began to bleed from the cutoff point.

While I was relieved that my preemptive strike was a success, Mineka brought back my attention.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

(The fellow is not dead yet. Retreat now!)

I jumped back behind deeper into the alley, the culprit quickly raised his other tentacle and swung it at the corner where I was a moment ago.

Its power was overwhelming, the ground shook and stones flew.

I'd probably die if I got hit by that.

"That was dangerous. I'm saved"

(It's still too early to feel relieved. It's coming)

After it lost its right tentacle, the bleeding culprit screamed and raised the left tentacle. He found me. Fortunately, the tight alley was proving difficult for him to move around and attack.

When I was thinking about evading it and using the chance to run away, Mineka said,

(Have faith in me. You'll have no problems with that sort of thing.)

"If that's the case!"

Once again believing Mineka, I stepped forward and made my attack. From where I cut, Culprit other tentacle slid off and fell to the ground.

What an amazing sharpness. I went and aimed to finish it off.

I continued my attack and raised the black sword while jumping high above the ground. Striking down at his shoulder which he moved to dodge but failed.

Gyaaa. Culprit raised its voice and fell on its knee.

Using the opportunity, I quickly made another strike.

The left hand which was cut flew away and fell to the side.

Now its body covered with the wounds, it stared at me with shallow eyes as he stayed on his knees.

(kill him!)

"He is done. He can't do anything. I going to use the chance to escape."

(You are an idiot! He is regenerating. He would be back in no time. Finish him."

Hearing Mineka's Words. I noticed something. His cutoff part had already disappeared and the remaining part is slowly growing bit by bit.

"kill! kill! kill!"

Now his babbling nothing more than a whisper. I feared that he can attack me again once I turned my back to him. I decided to do what seems best and thrust my sword into his face.

An unpleasant sense and sound have been transmitted from my hand, but I don't mind it and kept pushing my thrust.

After I pulled out, I shook off the Monster's blood which covered my black sword.

"I killed a person."

(You did well for your first time but I think you should unequip now. I feel weird.)

"I need some answers first."

(I can also talk in my Minature form. Just say 'unequip'.)

"Un...equip!"

As these words left my lips. The black sword quickly turned into a small version of itself.

Somehow I felt feeble as the sword disappear forcing me to lean to the bloody wall. I raised the miniature sword to examine it.

(what are you looking at!?)

"If I look closely, you are just a keychain, right?"

Now I look closely, it really has a ring attached to it like a keychain. I use to have one like it back home but in the shape of a gun.

(You know that I don't have eyes. So I don't know how I look.)

"OK! I need some questions answered. First, Who are you?"

(As I already told you. My name is Mineka. A Japanese person...... I think i came from the same world as you.... I came here after dying in a accident. My turn!, Who are you and how did you come here.)

"Ahhh... Let see, My name is Bayezeid and I am a normal person. I don't know how I was summoned here but luckily I wasn't summoned as an inmate object."

(Very Funny! now my turn, You know wh--)

"Can it wait! I feel really dizzy right now. I think I am going to faint."

Avoiding the Mineka words, I felt a sudden urge to lie down and close my eyes but I knew from my knowledge that such desires are deadly.

(huuuhhh! It seems you lost a lot of blood. I think some people are passing through the main street. you should ask them for help.)

"I don't know. Isn't it better to get your sword form to heal me and how do you know that people are passing by?"

(It will only be temporary and it drains my energy.)

"How can I ask them for help with blood all over me."

(This world is still in the medieval era. People covered in blood is a common happening. They will understand.)

It seemed like a world with monsters and all so being bloody should be a common sight

"Ok, I will try. Though I don't think I can make it."

Still leaning to the wall. I slowly dragged my self to the main street. At some point, I felt that I was about to die but I managed. With pain spreading throughout my body I somehow stumbled to the main street.

They were three men passing by. Two of them are holding muskets while one of them was handling a luggage loaded horse through Its reins.

"......."

Despite opening my mouth wide to call for them. Words didn't come out of it.

"......"

The injuries and weakness had overtaken my sense of speech.

(Why aren't you calling for them?! They are going to leave!)

-I want to but I can't.

Opening my mouth wide open for one last attempt. I used all my strength to expel words.

"Help!!!!"

Only a faint voice came and I fell to the ground.

Hearing my voice, the three turned at once to look at my desperate form.

(They are coming. Bayezeid!You are saved.)

I didn't think that they would have hospitals here so my chances were still quite thin. The man holding the horse reins quickly rushed to my side while the other two unload something off the horse and followed him.

"Guiya Guiya."

One of them quickly moved both its hand above my chest and start using some kind of magic. I immediately started feeling better but it was not enough to stand. It seems like some kind of healing magic

"Deira nich."

Other men quickly put patches over my body. I don't know what language they are speaking but it was different from the local language here.

(Bayezeid, Listen I don't know but if you can but you should run.)

I don't know why Mineka is worried. I don't have the strength to run away neither the intention to run from helpers.

"Ich griene kashen."

one of them said as the edges of his lips rose up in to smile.

(Bayezeid! Equip me!)

"Gen ik ich"

Man healing me respond as his lips followed suit.

(Bayezeid! Hurry!!!)

As these words flowed into my head. I felt a strange numbness spreading throughout my body.

"Griene Kashen."

<< Activate Unique Skill(Al-Gharib Dialect)? YES/NO>>

[YES!]

Without thinking, I quickly responded in my head. I want to know what they were saying.

My body was losing all sense of feeling as my conscience slowly fades. With half-opened eyes, I caught the glimpse of my so-seemed benefactors.

"He would make a great slave at Al-Gharab."

These were the last words I heard as my conscience completely fade away and with that my new life in this cursed world began.
