The Sword

“Here, take this.”

After that Zakuya sees a guy holding a sword in his right hand with red blade, yellow handle, has a fire on its guard pops up. Then the guy offer the sword to him.

“Are you really giving this to me?”

“Yeah.”

Zakuya hold the sword, but when the guy let go of the sword.

*clang*

The sword immediately drops to the ground and the first thing that Zakuya said is—

“It’s heavy!”

Zakuya said while trying to lift the sword from the ground.

“This sword, I can’t lift it! It won’t even budge. Even though, I was using all of my strength.”

Zakuya said while trying to lift the sword, then the guy talks to him.

“That’s why; I’m going to teach you, how to open your inventory.”

“Inventory?”

Zakuya asks while trying to lift the sword.

The guy starts to explain to Zakuya that he has an inventory inside him like he did, since he entered the world though that gadget.

After hearing what the guy said Zakuya let go of the sword, the sword hit the ground. Then Zakuya listen to the guy.

The guy teaches Zakuya, how to open his own inventory. The guy teaches Zakuya the easiest way to open his own inventory.

“Okay, this is the easiest way to open your Inventory.”

Zakuya nods, and listen carefully.

“Focus, and just say “Inventory” with your eyes close.”

Zakuya nods, and try what the guy said. So Zakuya close his eyes, and focus. Few seconds passed by, when Zakuya opened his eyes, and said—

“Inventory!”

A window pops up, in front of Zakuya’s face, and then he sees that he has a 50-item slot.

“(This young man, he has 50, while mine has only 30.) That’s good; now put the sword in there.”

Zakuya looked at the guy with confused expression, and asks—“How?”

The guy just realized that he didn’t told Zakuya about it. So he shows Zakuya how to do it, the guy pops up a wooden sword, in his right arm. Then the guy shows Zakuya the wooden sword disappeared in his hands. While Zakuya look at him with confused expression.

The guy looked at Zakuya who was confused at the time, so the guy took a sighed and told Zakuya—

“Fine, I’ll tell you how, just don’t look at me like that.”

Zakuya nods, and he listen to what the guy said.

“Hold the sword.”

Zakuya hold the sword, while the sword was on the ground, and then look at the guy.

“Now, your sword probably was on the top slot.”

Zakuya look to his inventory, and there he sees the sword in his inventory’s first two slot that has a name right hand, and left hand. Zakuya looked at the guy, and asks—“What, Now?”

Zakuya tilted his head, while looking at the guy.

“Touch the sword and then move it to the other slot. Because right now you were holding it in your hot bar which is your right hand.”

Zakuya looked at the guy, and Zakuya clearly know what the guy means. Zakuya notice that the slot where he was holding the sword was brighter than the other slots, and he notice too that in his hot bar, the 10 slots in his hot bar was separated into 2 hot bar, and the first 5 hot bar has label of left hand, and on the second 5 hot bar has label of right hand, and one of the slot brighter than the other that include where he was holding the sword.

Zakuya touch the sword, and he move it to the other hot bar on the left hand, and t was on the brightest hot bar, and when he place the sword on the brightest hot bar, the sword disappear, and appear on left hand, and his hand is automatically grip on the sword, but Zakuya feels the heavy sword, and he let go of the sword while he was on his knees.

Then Zakuya look at the guy, and he see the guy’s right hand was on his face, and his eyes is close.

“Hey, move the sword in under your 2 hot bars…” The guy said while his hand was on his face.

Zakuya was embarrassed of what he did, so Zakuya did what the guy said, and he place the sword under his hot bar, and when he places it under the 10 hot bars, the sword disappeared. Zakuya stand up, and he notice that his body, wasn’t heavy at all.

“Now the thing is. You need to open your inventory without saying the word ‘Inventory’ if you manage to do that you’ll be able to use any weapon while fighting.”

Zakuya nods and then he think of way of how to open his inventory without saying the word ‘Inventory.’

2 hours of thinking Zakuya thinks of a way to open his inventory. Zakuya was able to open his inventory, by saying inventory in his mind, but he said it in his mind like he meant it.

“You were able to open your inventory, but what you need is. You need to open you inventory in your mind. Because you could move your item inside your inventory with your mind only.”

After hearing what the guy said, Zakuya think of a way to open his inventory now without his inventory popping out in front of him.

3 hours passed before Zakuya were able to do what the guy was asking him to do. Zakuya show the guy that he was able to do, what the guy asked him to do, the guy teach Zakuya some things for days, then one day, while Zakuya was training on his own.

“1005, 1006, 1007, 1008— “

Zakuya was training to swinging his sword, he suddenly heard something burst out of the ground, several meter behind him, Zakuya stop swinging, and take a look of what happen, but just after his left hand let go of the handle of the sword.

*Slash! *

“(Huh? What happen?)” Zakuya asks, as he got attack, and he see the body of a big emey on his left side. After that Zakuya backs away from the big enemy, and then Zakuya look at his left arm, and he see his left arm missing.

In that second Zakuya’s left arm was cut off from his body.

Zakuya let go of the sword, and then he gets on the ground while holding his left shoulder, while screaming in pain, and at the same time Zakuya was shocked, because couldn’t see what attack him, he just knows that it was a big enemy. The guy hear Zakuya scream so loud, that he immediately head where Zakuya is, and when he get there, he see Zakuya on his knee holding the part where his left arm was cut there was a lot of blood in his hand, and on his body, and on the ground, and then he see Zakuya’s sword behind him. After that the guy land beside Zakuya, and he asks—

“Zakuya, are you okay? What happened?”

The guy asked Zakuya, but Zakuya couldn’t answer because of the pain he feels. All of what comes in his mind was ouch, I’m going to die, and it hurt so much.

After that the guy sees Zakuya’s left arm not far from him, and then the one who attack Zakuya, turning back to attack Zakuya again. Zakuya couldn’t do anything, but to hold the part where his arm was cut, but he manages to look to the guy who was beside him, and when Zakuya see who attack him, it was a big black thing. It was like a centipede, but bigger, and longer but not bigger than the first monster he sees. Zakuya sees the thing that attack him is going forward to them so fast.

The guy look at the thing that attack Zakuya with pissed expression, then—

“Huh?”

When the thing or the monster that attack Zakuya was close, the guy suddenly disappears from where he was standing. Zakuya sees the small dust that the guy left, but Zakuya close his eyes again, while holding his shoulder.

*Whoosh! *

The guy move towards the monster that attack Zakuya, and then kick its head upwards, and then the guy move above the monster, and then he uses his wooden sword, and send monster back to the ground. When the monster slams to the ground, it went back up for 1 sec, and then its color turned sky blue, and then suddenly disappear, and Zakuya sees a glass bottle, and some coins drop down. Zakuya could only think of the pain he feels.

“Hey, drink this.”

The guy drops the glass bottle that the monster drops earlier; the glass bottle has red fluid inside. Zakuya bear the pain, and then drink the potion. After drinking the potion Zakuya’s wound heal up, and he feels much better. Zakuya stand up, and the guy gives him his left arm.

Zakuya look at his arm with sad expression, but there’s nothing he could do now. Now that it was cut off.

“Hide this inside of your inventory.” The guy said, while looking away at Zakuya.

“Master, but why? Is not that I’ll being able to get my left arm back to my body.”

“You can, that why the training will be harder at this point.” The guy said with serious expression.

After that the guy continues to train him, so hard that Zakuya wouldn’t go to his room to sleep, he just sleeps in the hot spring. Zakuya sleep 3 hours in the hot spring, and eat 30 mins, and went to the field to training again.

The day that Zakuya, finished spending, and training in the world for 2 years.

The guy already done with teaching Zakuya how to use magic, and the guy teach Zakuya how to fly, how to fight, how to dodge, how to block an attack, and how to fight with bare hand, with only right hand.

That day Zakuya get a full sleep, and he woke up happy. Zakuya gets out of the house, and then he sees the guy, and the guy gives Zakuya a map. Zakuya open the map and he see that there’s an X far from the white thing in the map. Zakuya asked the guy, and the guy told Zakuya that there’s a labyrinth where the X is. Zakuya asked the guy—“

“Why do I need to go there?”

The guy responds to Zakuya— “You will find the spell that you can use to get your left arm back to your body again. Okay.”

Zakuya smiled, after he heard what the guy said. Zakuya immediately nods, and prepared to leave. Before he leaves, he gets all of his items on his inventory. Before he goes he got a warning from the guy.

“There’s a lot of strong monster there. So be careful.”

Zakuya talk a gulp, and he nods before flying towards the labyrinth. While Zakuya was flying he see a lot of mobs, so he fly down, and he fight all of the mobs.

Zakuya took out his sword, and get on his fighting style, while smiling, and then he said—

“Come!”
