"Damn this mountain, why would someone make their house at a place like this?" said a young man who looked like he was in his early 20s with a quite good-looking face , though it was covered in big ugly glasses that one could not tell where they were real or not as if they were just used to cover his good-looking face.
"Finally, I reached the top, why would some live in an isolated place like this?" said the man who was panting while looking at a house that looked very old yet was clean in the middle of a chaotic forest which housed who knows what animal. The man stood at the front of the house and felt calm and nostalgic to the man.
"I have lived at this place till I was Ten, but why do I not have many memories of it?" "Aaa! This head again ever since I got here this pain is not stopping. I would have brought some painkillers if I had known any better." As the man walked inside the house the pain started gradually increasing, though it was still bearable. "This place is cleaner than I expected. I guess she visits this place more than I thought. Ha, how many years has it been since I was last here? I remember I was 18 the last time I visited, so 5 years ago I guess. Even though she brought me here on Grandpa's Death Anniversary, I remember my head hurting as much as today."
"Grandpa, what kind of man he was, why don't I remember much of him? All I remember is playing with him for hours and eating together and more and more pleasant memories. I have no bad memories with him, I don't remember getting hurt, getting sick or anything bad. Let's stop thinking for now."
The man walked around the house reminiscing about his old memories while trying to remember the part he felt was lost or was stolen from him. After some hours of going back and forth about the past and some cleaning of the already clean house, the sun had begun to set, and it was a death sentence to leave this mountain in the dark. With little time to waste, he quickly started to pack his stuff and was ready to leave.
"Well, if she hadn't forced me to visit because she had some work to do I wouldn't have come, but it wasn't that bad except for the part where I had to climb this damned mountain. Well, climbing down will be easy if I don't meet wild animals or something."
"But how did Grandpa die? I remember I was 10 when he died and after that I had to leave for the city with her. But where and how did he die? She never answers and avoids this question. Every time I ask I wonder now whether even she knows anything or not or is hiding something from me . But one thing is for sure that Grandpa was rich and really rich at that for him to be able to get a house that big in the city and so much money in his bank accounts but then why did he live at such a place well not like I can ask him or anything."
While leaving the mountain while being lost in thought he hears some noise, though it takes some time for him to collect his thoughts. "Wha what was that? shit something had to have happened while I was leaving; what animal is it a snake? No, it can't be that big to cause that much commotion. Lions and a tiger don't live in this area either. It can't be another person, can it be but why would someone visit this isolated place?"
When he couldn't stop his curiosity after confirming that it wasn't an animal he went forward to check who it was there he saw a man trying to pull something out of the ground. "What is he doing?" He couldn't stop himself and went closer to the man to see what he was doing while still being hidden to avoid any danger in case the man was hostile . "Is that a swor argh! This headache is killing argh! No, I have to hide I can't let him notice me."
While in severe pain he tried to hide as he didn't know that man's intention but was sure that he heard him. It was too late that man had already noticed him the movement he let his cry out while in pain started coming towards him and his attempt to hide had also failed as he lost consciousness because of the severe pain before he could hide anywhere.

"Come out you damn sword," shouted an old but strong-looking man continually while trying to pull a sword out of the ground, but the sword wasn't budging at all. "kai kai wake up wake up I said" "who was calling me?"
"Come out sword please, I beg you." shouted the old man continuously while trying to pull the sword out without a care about anything "shit I was caught,but it looks like he hasn't noticed that I woke up that's good, should I run, no can I outrun him though looks like he should be the same age as my grandpa if he was alive right now but he is so jacked he can probably hunt a bear with those muscles but why is he not able to pull that sword out wait my head doesn't hurt while looking at the that sword anymore, have I see it before; was it always here no let's not think about useless things I need to get out of here but how."
While he was thinking of a way to run old man seemed to have stopped what he was doing and sat near Kai, which made him panic a little only to relax as he thought that the old man had gotten tired of the stupid thing he was doing and is probably going to leave soon. "Kid, I know you are awake and have been thinking of a way to run for the past 30 minutes so get up" said the old man. The silence struck the air and Kai didn't move an inch thinking that the old man was bluffing while he tried to remain calm. "I will break your bones if you don't get up before I count till 10" hence the old man started counting
"1"
"2" Kai thinking about what to do as the old man was more than capable to break his scrawny body into pieces
"3"
"4"
"5"
"6"
"7"
"8"
"9" old man started to get up and move closer to Kai, as if he was ready to really break his bones.
'1'Just before the old man could finish kai shouted "wait I am up no need to continue."
"hahahahahaha look at you getting all scared hahaha I was joking."
'That joke felt way too real' thought Kai, while the old man was laughing maniacally who suddenly went all serious and asked "now tell me what were you doing here. Be serious and don't waste my time, or I will kill you."
The atmosphere changed very quickly. Kai could somehow feel that the old man wasn't lying about killing him and said "I came to visit my grandpa's house on his death anniversary."
"You did, your grandpa lived at the top of the mountain in an old wooden house."
"Yes" After that, the old man went quiet for some time and the killing atmosphere that Kai felt earlier wasn't there either anymore though he could not relax as who knew what could happen to him at any movement.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha" the old man started laughing uncontrollably as if he found something he was looking for multiple years by now which only made kai even more tense.
"Calm down, there is no need for you to be so tense. I am not doing anything to you so just relax". After all that he has done even if God were to tell him to not be scared of this old man he won't believe him but to not make him angry he tried to act a bit calm.
"Now tell me your name, your full name."
Without any delay, he answered, "My name is Kai, Kai Sage"
"Hahahahh even the heavens are helping this old god. Sorry for cursing you so much and thank you."'Did this old man go insane? That will be great because I can probably beat a mad person.' While thinking about this looked at the old man's arms muscles 'well maybe not.'
The sun was long gone and Kai didn't know what to do with this crazy old man. No crazy buffed old man who can probably one shot him while he was thinking. The old man finally stopped laughing and Kai collided that he can't do anything, and it was best for him to do and act the way which makes the old man happy and act calm and casual as the old man wanted.And so he did. He remained so calm that one couldn't even hear his heart anymore.
Though after some time he mustered enough courage to ask the thing he was most curious about.
"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, can you tell me what you were doing with this sword?"
"I mean that someone as powerful as you should be able to pull this sword out easily." Which is not a wrong judgment and anyone will come to the same decision as it seems that the sword wasn't buried that deep and didn't look that heavy either and more importantly it was just stuck in some mud. Any average man should be able to pull it out. And to Kai, it felt that the old man was playing with the sword rather than trying to pull it out.
But the old man laughed, as if he were looking at someone full of ignorance and lack of any basic knowledge.
And said, "You think that it is easy to pull the sealed sword out." Though it was not the name of the sword it felt as if the old man was implying that the sword was in a sealed state. 'Yeah, it does seem sealed in lots and lots of mud and probably layers of rust beneath under the mud as well' thought Kai
"Well, then you can try to pull it out if you can." Kai, who originally wanted to reject him, but still wanted to see what the sword that old man was so confident that Kai couldn't pull.
STOOD UP AND EXTENDED HIS HAND HIS HAND TOWARDS THE SWORD.
