It’s been quite a while since I opened the status window to check. A status window reminiscent of Chikorita, useless at all.

No, strictly speaking, comparing this status window to Chikorita might be rude to Chikorita. Because Chikorita becomes useful after evolving into bay leaf, but my status window is in a state where no further growth is possible.

[All skills are sealed due to the effect of 「Uncut Sword (C-)」.]

Yes. In fact, before I fell into another world in earnest, I also met a goddess and acquired a cheat skill, and while filming Musou, I thought, “This world where I truly enter…” Might it break?

That’s why he didn’t blame others, the talent Reiner possessed was trash from the beginning. What would you expect from a guy who had only wielded a sword for 10 years but only possessed ‘lower level swordsmanship’?

In other words, to start with the conclusion, I could never become stronger with the usual methods alone. Should I say it’s the same principle as saying that even if Krillin or Yamuch trains in hell, you can’t beat a single bald napper?

‘That’s not to say there aren’t any methods.’

However, like a deceased person who changed his life into this game, I succeeded in finding an answer. This sword that I am holding in my hand right now was that ‘method’.

「Sword possessed by demons」

Rank: ???

Description: One of several swords used by a warrior in the past. Other than that, nothing has been revealed.

Effect: It is unnecessarily hard and does not break easily.

However, I do not recommend using this sword. It is said that the warrior who owned this sword poured his resentment into the sword right before he died!

+ If certain conditions are met, there is a possibility of encountering a ghost attached to the sword.

+ Condition not met. This information is currently unavailable.

It was a sword I ordered Sei to bring from a dungeon somewhere. According to Sei, he was abandoned in a corner without even needing to clear the dungeon.

From the outside, it looks like a typical garbage weapon that could be sprayed as an event-only item at a 5th anniversary event somewhere. Actually, it’s a trash weapon.

Others have a holy sword or a demonic sword, so it’s not enough to have all sorts of grandiose names, but they have special abilities that are f*cking awesome, but this one’s ability is only to make a single ghost stick to it.

Well, if the identity of the ghost was actually a beautiful girl of the highest rank in Tokyo, this weapon would have been the best item in the [Erantia Saga], But of course, such a delusional development did not exist. It really couldn’t have been more unfortunate.

‘It’s okay to call it a substitute, but this side has its own corner to use.’

As I said that, I gave strength to the hand holding the sword. At the same time, the mana the size of a rat’s tail drifted through his body.

[The effect of 「Uncut Sword (C-)」Is applied.]

[The effect of ‘Moonlight Sword’, one of the sword skills inherent in 「Uncut Sword (C-)」, Is applied.]

Instead of being able to learn all the sword-related skills in the world without any restrictions, the ‘Sword that Can’t Cut Anything’ integrates those skills into the ‘Sword that Can’t Cut Anything’.

And the moment a sword-related skill is integrated into the attribute, the mana required to use the skill doubles, while the power drops to less than 20%.

Then, is the trait ‘a sword that can’t cut anything’ a useless trait?

That’s true, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any advantages. Because there is one thing that can only be done through the property of ‘a sword that can’t cut anything’.

[With the effect of 「Uncut Sword (C-)」, The effect of the skill ‘Earth Cry’ is superimposed on the sword.]

[With the effect of 「Uncut Sword (C-)」, The effect of skill ‘Knight’s Pride’ is superimposed on the sword.]

[The effect of 「Cutless Sword (C-)」 And the effect of the skill ‘Blast(發破)’ are superimposed on the sword… ]

In 「Erantia Saga」, It is impossible to use two or more skills at the same time. It wasn’t the pilot’s agility or physical problems, it just meant that it wasn’t allowed in the system.

However, if you use a ‘sword that can’t cut anything’ as a medium, you can escape the restrictions of the system and unleash multiple skills at the same time.

It feels weird to use overlapping skills, but in reality, the consumption of mana is so severe that it’s practically useless.

In fact, even in 「Erantia Saga」, It is a characteristic that was only used for the purpose of bragging to others that I was learning a lot of f*cking skills.

However, what would happen if you use it while holding the “Sword possessed by demons”?

And I knew very well what the answer to that question was.

Booooong-

The moment 4 or more skills are stacked, the “Sword possessed by demons” Begins to shake under the pressure of the skill. It’s a seemingly old sword, but it’s even trembling, so it looks like it’s about to explode at any moment.

And…

[Specific conditions have been met!]

[The spiritual energy engraved on the 「Haunted Sword」 Invites you, a performer who has satisfied all conditions, to another space.]

[Do you want to accept the invitation?]

“I accept.”

Paat-

The moment I nodded to accept the invitation, I was transported to a space somewhere other than the gymnasium.

A white space where nothing exists. If I had to use a metaphor, it was a bizarre space reminiscent of the room of spirit and time.

“…..”

For some reason, I feel nervous. This is because the things that will happen from now on were an unknown territory that even I, the deceased person of 「Erantia Saga」, Did not know well.

That was the very moment I was swallowing my saliva through my throat, looking at a white space where nothing existed.

– Ah, Sval. It’s really terribly noisy. I don’t know what kind of bastard has been holding this sword lately, but he looks like a bastard with ADHD. It doesn’t give me the thought of being quiet even for an hour.

A voice is heard. In this space where there was no way for anything to exist, something was uttering a voice with a distinct presence.

– Well, it’s better than the idiot orcs holding swords. I don’t know what else, because those bastards smell like sh*t because they don’t f*cking wash. They are very naughty pups.

“…..”

– But I think I just felt something pretending to be there… Ah, sickness. Am I suffering from mental illness because I have been alone in this space for too long? But do ghosts also suffer from mental illness?

Towards the direction the voice came from, I slowly turned my neck and looked in that direction.

There was. He had a formidable impression, as if he would take on any bandit as his older brother, and a physical reminiscent of a spear that could easily subdue a chimpanzee in a zoo with his bare hands.

He was an unusual person no matter where he looked, but there was one decisive factor that made him even more difficult to see as an ordinary person.

His body was blurry and translucent in some places. But other than that, it was clear that he was a perfect human being. That only made me more confused.

“Uh… hey?”

Huh?

As I carefully call, that ghost looks at me. It’s like the fact that I muttered something to myself just now, and it seems like we’re having a conversation.

– How are you? How are you? What is this? Do I see nothing now?

The ghost looks at me and rubs his eyes. From that ghost’s point of view, I think I’m the kind of person who shouldn’t be in this world.

From noble mtl dot com

– Hey, can you see me now?

“… Uh, I see. Very well too.”

– Can you hear me?

“Aren’t you listening to what I’m saying right now?”

– That’s right. Does this make sense?

A ghost looking at me with absurd eyes, as if there is something absurd. No matter how much he thinks about it, the ghost tilts his head as if he doesn’t understand.

And the series of movements were very suitable for beautiful women like Cirilla and Sei, but seeing the chimpanzee in front of me, it was a movement that made me feel something rising inside me.

– You can see me, hear me, and even communicate with me. If it wasn’t that I went crazy and created an imaginary friend, it would mean that the four of you entered this space on your own…

After saying that, he looked at me as a ghost and started muttering something to himself like a madman.

– Hmmm. Apparently, he’s not even talented, and he’s a mediocre bastard, so what kind of tricks did he make to get here? No, didn’t this bastard get hit on the head a few times with a clothespin? He wouldn’t have to come in here if he wasn’t a messed-up guy.

A ghost who can’t tell the difference between what to say and what not to say in front of people, perhaps because he didn’t receive moral education when he was young.

For some reason, I was so resentful of the little girl looking at me that I was seized with the urge to exorcize that evil ghost by showing him a cross at this point.

Of course, I don’t have a cross or anything like that, but I didn’t have to be afraid of such evil spirits.

‘My cross is the faith and faith in my heart. My cross is faith and faith in my heart….’

As I keep my heart strong, the ghost that has been watching me until now suddenly opens its mouth.

– Hey, there are many things I want to tell you, but let’s check one thing first.

“What do you mean?”

– You mean, did you learn the 「Sword that can’t cut anything」 By any chance?

“Yes, by the way.”

Apart from how I found out about that fact, I nodded my head obediently as it was something I didn’t really need to hide. Then the ghost looks at me with an absurd expression.

– Did you really learn it? Really that swordsmanship I made but was trashy? Are you a psychopath

What the hell is the person who made that trash swordsman arguing about?

– Well, it’s entirely up to you to master the swordsmanship, but if you use that sword like that, you could die.

“No, so why the hell was that strange instruction from earlier… Huh? What are you saying now?”

– So, to put it simply, if you live your life the way you are, one day you might end up looking like sh*t. That’s because it’s not a swordsmanship made for people to learn in the first place. So why do you learn it? Are you sick

“…..”

In that moment, without saying a word, I opened the status window and looked at a certain sentence written there.

[Currently, you have 2 years, 345 days, 12 hours and 36 minutes of life left due to the effect of [Goddess of Love’s Blessing (A+)].]

“…Ah, damn it.”

I know very well that time-limited settings are in vogue these days, but could you please do one of the two?
