Chapter 6

Picked up the sword that was in the suitcase. I picked up the rusty sword.

"This is my first time holding a real sword. It feels a bit heavy lifting it."

If I remember correctly the ritual of uniting the soul with the weapon was done by attaching my blood to the sword.

"Come to think of it, I have a penknife."

Opening the desk drawer I retrieved a penknife. I then unfolded the knife and pointed the tip at my left thumb.

"Huh! Hurting yourself is so unpleasant."

Sliced the thumb slightly and blood slowly came out.

"Guh!"

I pressed my thumb against the rusty blade and pulled my thumb up the blade to the tip of the blade.

"Will I be alright? Won't I get tetanus?"

Tilting my head, I wiggled the sword left and right.

"What's going on? Why is there no reaction at all? Did it fail?"

Scratching the back of my head, I recalled what the god had said. The ritual of uniting the soul with the S weapon would feel like the bite of an ant. However, I felt nothing and there was no reaction to the sword.

Is there a trigger spell? No, there's no such thing in the book I read.... .... Gahhh!! What is this? This hurts."

I groaned in pain. Something was happening inside me, as if energy was being sucked into the sword. Slowly the rust around the cracked sword shone and then glowed.

"Gah! My eyes!"

The light dazzled my eyes, my eyes hurt. The light covered the entire room for a few seconds. After the light subsided, the sword I was holding changed.

"Is... Is this the sword from before?"

My doubts arose when I looked at the sword, it was no longer covered in rust but looked like a luxurious sword. The sword had a long blade that was sky blue in color. It had a silver hilt with green and blue stripes. And it had a pattern like dragon scales on the hilt.

"I shouldn't have doubted that god's words. This is really amazing... I should be grateful... Kuhh!"

Suddenly my body felt strange and I fell to my knees.

"Gah!!! What is this again?"

My body felt strange, something entered my body and flowed towards my heart.

That's when I realized that the thing that came in was from the sword I was holding.

"What on earth is going on?"

Because of this strange occurrence, I tried to let go of the sword.

"Are you kidding me? Gah!!! Let go. I said let go."

Contrary to my wishes, the sword became even more firmly attached to my hand like it was glued by something.

Something that must have happened to my body was that the sword was flowing magic energy into my body and towards my heart.

I thought it was fine because it would increase my magic energy capacity. However, I changed my mind when suddenly the pain became worse. Not only that, my heart was beating faster and felt like it was going to explode.

I was currently lying on the floor facing the ceiling, writhing in pain.

"Gosh this hurts so much. Guh! Somebody help me!"

As I writhed in pain I could feel my body reforming into a new form in order to adapt to the large amount of magic energy.

"Gahhh!"

My heart felt like it was going to explode, gritting my teeth, I tried to endure the pain that radiated throughout my body due to the effects of the reformation.

"Hah! Hah! Guhhh!!! Anybody... Help me!"

I felt my vision begin to blur and my hearing begin to weaken.

One by one, my senses lost function. My heartbeat quickened, my breathing became irregular, my face paled, and blood dripped from my nose, mouth, eyes, and ears.

"Arghhhh!!! Hah! At least I .... Must .... Survive."

My vision darkened, my body ached and my consciousness slowly faded until I finally lost consciousness.

*********************************** "

Ugh!"

Opening my eyelids I saw the ceiling of my room.

Looking around, I stared at the sword I was still holding.

"I seem to have lost consciousness."

I got up from the floor and tried to stand up. My body was still in pain. Not only that, it felt like my body was weak. Still holding the sword, I stared at my bedroom mirror. I could see myself with my new body.

"Is this... The effect of performing the soul unification ritual with the S rank weapon 'Long Feng Jian'?"

Staring into the mirror, I saw that my body was taller by what felt like 2 meters, but I don't think it was that tall. My body looks fuller, lifting my shirt I see the shape of my stomach.

"This... This is more dense muscle mass."

Turning to the window, I saw that it was dark outside.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

Looking at the digital clock on the table, it was 6.49pm.

"Hah! It's been half a day, I've been unconscious. It's a good thing it's not 7pm yet."

If I hadn't woken up at 7pm, the butler would have come knocking on the door and asked outside the room to check on me. It would be dangerous if I didn't answer.

"And also I have something I should ask that god?"

I quickly grabbed my cell phone and turned it on.

"Ting!"

A notification sound appeared.

Looking at who it was, I could tell who sent it. Looking at the name listed and my guess was right.

Blitz_Red

"Awake yet?"

"He must have been watching me all day and saw all those events."

You

"Hey, what's really going on Why does that ritual feel so painful? Didn't you say it felt like being bitten by ants? Are you trying to torture me?"

I typed each letter in exasperation. The reply message arrived instantly.

Blitz_Red

"There was a mistake when I answered your question back then."

"Mistake?"

Blitz_Red

"Actually, I misjudged that being bitten by an ant in the divine sense and the human sense are very different."

Seeing that message I could only stay silent with my mouth open.

"So ... This is how a god would feel if bitten by an ant. Ah! Never mind. I'm too weak to get angry."

I threw myself onto the bed and wanted to rest immediately, having felt things that were so painful it felt like dying. However, the message notification popped up once again.

Blitz_Red

"Well, this is really my fault and I'm really sorry. I know you're upset, but not everything will go according to plan. And I realize this feels shameless, but you should start practicing tomorrow to use that Long Feng Jian sword. You don't have much time before the entrance exam."

Seeing the message, I could only laugh hollowly and curse.

"Ha ha ha ha! You bastard!"

Reflecting on everything that happened today, I closed my eyes and realized that this was the beginning of my difficult journey.
