Testing My New Weapon
After dealing with the shock of having a talking sword, I decided to see what it could actually do.
I headed to an abandoned training ground outside the city, far enough that no annoying nobles or nosy adventurers would get in my way.
The sword grumbled in my head.
"Ugh. Finally. I was starting to think you were just carrying me around like some fancy accessory."
I rolled my eyes. "Shut up and let's see what you can do."
I swung the blade, testing its weight. It was absurdly light for a sword of its size.
When I slashed at a nearby stone pillar, I expected maybe a small dent.
Instead, the whole damn thing split clean in half.
I blinked. "Okay, that was kinda cool."
The sword chuckled. "Obviously. I'm awesome."

Getting Along (Somehow)
At first, I thought having a talking weapon would be annoying as hell.
But the more we trained, the more I realized…
We actually worked well together.
✔ The sword adjusted to my movements instantly.
✔ It gave me real-time feedback on my swings.
✔ It even had a sense of humor—not a good one, but still.
Eventually, I stopped arguing with it and just started talking normally.
And that's when I asked, half-joking, "So, what's your deal? Were you forged by some legendary blacksmith or something?"
There was a pause.
Then the sword muttered—
"I... used to be a person."
---
Wait… WHAT?!
I froze mid-swing.
"Come again?"
"Yeah. A long time ago, I was a person. Had a body. Did normal people things."
I slowly lowered the sword. "You're telling me… you used to be human?"
"Yep."
"And now you're a f*cking weapon?"
"Yep."
I exhaled. "…That's actually kinda cool."

And Then I Realized…
The sword laughed. "Yeah, I thought that at first too."
But then I thought about it.
Really thought about it.
✔ He couldn't move on his own.
✔ He couldn't eat, drink, or do anything besides be swung around.
✔ He had spent centuries stuck in some junk pile.
I frowned. "Wait. That's actually f*cking depressing."
"Ding ding ding, we have a winner."

The Sword's Miserable Backstory
"Alright, lemme sum it up for you," the sword said. "I woke up in this world, got turned into a legendary blade, helped some dumbass hero, and then… eventually, I got too old, rusted over, and was thrown away."
I stayed silent.
"Then some other guy picked me up. Used me for a while. Got rid of me."
Another pause.
"And that kept happening. Over. And over. And over again."
I gripped the handle tighter. "That… f*cking sucks."
The sword snorted. "No sh*t."

The Mutual Hatred for That Smug A God**
I took a deep breath. "So, just to be clear. The same god that threw me into this world… turned you into a weapon for fun?"
"Yup."
I clenched my jaw. "And he never explained why?"
"Nope."
I exhaled slowly.
Then, at the exact same time—
We both muttered:
"F*ck that guy."

Final Thought – At Least I'm Not Alone in Hating Him
Out of everything that had happened since I got here—
✔ Getting thrown into an Otome Game.
✔ Almost dying in a dungeon.
✔ Having to avoid the main storyline.
This?
This was probably the most relatable conversation I'd had.
I sighed. "Alright. You need a name."
The sword hummed. "Got one in mind?"
I smirked. "How about Rusty?"
"F*ck off."
Yeah. This was gonna work out just fine.
