I ask for the sword that is made of compacted maulwood one of the best materials for (1)tiger leveled swordsmen. As I leave a sword catches my eye, the blade darker than the sky of night, the hilt as red as crimson it was as if the hilt was made of blood, yet the most eye-catching part of the blade was the empty slot in the middle but for some reason, I know what goes in the slot. I ask the blacksmith at the counter if he made this blade or if he acquired from somewhere else.

"No, son I found this blade in the forgotten misty forest where by accident I wandered in. As I was traveling and trying to find my way out I stumbled upon this sword. But the most interesting yet frightening part about it was the fact that it was pulsing like a heart in a middle of a blood of pool as if it was alive, but before I knew it the sword absorbed the blood and it became useless", answered the blacksmith.

"Wait what do you mean it became useless. How does a sword become useless? Don't you just swing a sword and do some fancy maneuvers," questioned Weng Jun.

"haha that's a good question, what ends happening is that the sword refuses to be used. Everytime that someones buys it and uses it they end up returning it because the sword drains the users' blood until they become weak and die. It used to be worth 500 gold since it has a sword spirit, but

it dropped to 50 silver since the sword would not accept anyone", answered the blacksmith.

I don't know why but I feel like this sword fits me as if it was made specifically for me. I can feel my blood churning as I see it. In the end, I bought both swords since I had enough tals. The blacksmith thought I was a fool but sold it to me anyways to make free money.

Dumb b.a.s.t.a.r.d I hope to see his face when he realizes that this sword accepts me. I place both swords in their respective sheaths and I head out. Right, when I head out I hear an obnoxious voice. I look over and see the third young master of the Wei family rumored to be a total debauchee starts

heading my way. Since the day that I accidentally soaked him with my fruit wine, he has always gone after me to find a way to humiliate me. well, no matter he is already here.

"lookie here its the flower boy of the family that still hasn't reached the (2)silver stage", yelled Wei Lan.
