《Re:sword》chap 7. The plan (revamped)
Advertisement
If you had trouble reading the last chapter it has been redone. Just wanted to give a heads up.I usually write up the rough draft in google docs. Then take it through a grammar program. then add spaces but i forgot to add the spaces before i went to bed sorry about that.
Big thanks to Tercanum For editing this chapter for me.

You know... You would think getting out of a large circular forest was as easy as going in a straight line. But noo you'd be wrong. It just had to be a complex maze. How the hell did I even manage to find my way to the center so easily before?
This sword has been the only stroke of good luck I've had in a long time. And now I'm going to die of starvation in a forest full of hungry monsters. At least this Sword is doing its job correctly, which is keeping away everything that wants to have a quick snack.
Man I wish the other effect of clairvoyance would activate. I dont want to be lost anymore. Hey is it just me or is there a sparkling path? What! Could this be the random effect i was just hoping for! Ever since i got this sword things have been on the up and up for me. Hell i might even make it for the registration!(author notes *cough cough sch cough arc*).
It took me about an hour to leave the forest following the faint trail of light. Once we were at the edge it felt so good to see the sun again. Sadly I had no idea which side of the forest were on. Maybe if I asked the sword where the closest town was it might show me? Well can't hurt to try.
[Hey, Show me the way to the nearest village please.]
After a few minutes I began to lose hope in it working. But out of no where that strange sparkling path showed up again. Since it didnt lead me wrong the first way Im going to trust it once more.
After 4 hours of walking we started to approach a 15 ft wooden wall. Before we go inside I attempted to activate the swords other aura ability that supposedly makes it go unnoticed.But like when I first tried to use the [intimidating aura] it seemed like it wasn't working. I was confused as to why it wasn't working.

After hard bit of thinking, I decided that I'm just going to have to trust that like the [intimidating aura] skill, this too doesn't affect me.
I began to approach the gate, there was one guards man and he had a country bumpkin feel to him. So before he began to even speak I told myself, just play nice.
[Hey! what business does a demi human have in these parts?]
[I came to buy some clothes and supplies, I just got back from exploring the uncharted area. And if you cant already tell im in need of some new clothes.]
[O I can tell missy, but entrance will cost you one gold.]
Gods I hate that stare he's giving me. I'll just quickly pay up so I can get out of his sight.
[Here you go, thanks for letting me through.]
When entering the town I kept on getting pervy stares from men all over, so the first place i decided to visit was the tailor’s shop. A part of me wanted to ask the sword if he knew where it was.But i decided against it, other people might be able to see the mana path and I didn't want to draw any extra attention to my already standing-out self, I don't want an another incident like before.
After looking about for a good half hour, I finally found a tailor. I had to ask a few of the women who were walking past. At first they all gave me a disgusted look... But after hearing my story coupled with my fake blushing, they started to pity me and pointed me in the right direction.
I entered the shop and was greeted by the owner. She seemed angry that I had brought a weapon into her shop and since i didn't really mind, I set my sword down on the table and began to look for new clothes clothes.
Then the sword just reappeared in my hands. That scared me a little. One minute im holding a pair of pants and the next I'm holding a sword.I really didn't want to turn around... But I had to explain or I wouldn't be able to get new clothes.

Laura: [Sorry about that, this sword is a bit unique in the fact that it will teleport into the owners hand if someone else tries to pick it up]
owner:[I DONT CARE GET OUT. NO ONE BREAKS MY RULES!!!]
After about 30 minutes of negotiating, I told that I'll place it on the ground and begged her saying that I really needed new clothes. I even agreed to pay a little extra.Seeing her calm down she finally agreed to it saying, if it happens again it again she's kicking me out.
So I placed it on the table, as far away from the door as I could and began my quest for new clothes. After a good bit of time I finally managed to find some clothes.After more apologizing and paying more than I had originally planned I began to leave the shop. And puff like magic it once again appeared in my hand. I can't quite figure if this sword’s teleport skill is annoying or not.
I decided to leave town as fast as I could as I didn't want to be here anymore. Since I previously walked around town half naked and all. So I decided to start heading towards Scholas and register myself for Knights training.
On the road to Scholas, I knew I was going to get attacked by a few bandits and monsters. But since I was afraid I might not have been able make in time for registration I needed to hurry. So I simply activated the swords [intimidating aura] and they just passed out there and then.I swear this sword seems to be getting stronger.
Further down the road i met a fairly nice merchant who sold me some leather armor for rather cheap. I was also able to sell him the stuff i got out of the “attempted bandit attacks”. I definitely didn't leave all that stuff behind.Which rounded my gold out to about 35 pieces.
Its been a week since I started my journey to Scholas. I have since done some workout routines to improve my chance of passing the entrance exam. But ever since I got this sword I seem to be able to run for half a day without getting even a little tired.
So once I got onto a main road I decide to push my limits and see how long I could last running at full speed...Turns out I'm already at the wall, I have been running for 2 days straight without even so much as stopping to sleep or even rest.
WHAT'S UP with this sword? I Knew it gave me an increase in stamina and all but that doesn't mean I should be able sprint for 2 days straight. There's got to be something I'm missing here. I just wish I knew someone that I trusted enough to ask about this.
If I manage to pass the entrance exam I'm definitely going to ask the principal as I've heard he was a honorable man. Along with being the most skilled warrior in this Kingdom. As i began to approach the gates I activated the code name “cloaking aura”. During my running i attempted to change the activation word for that skill mainly because it's a pain to say the full thing. I'm not sure if it worked but there's only one way to find out.
______________________________________________________________________________
the go plan for the other perspective's is to improve on my conversation skills which i suck at. And the sword is descriptive writing improvement. The Swords chapter's are going to be longer then these ones (except the last one it was late.) and provide more detail on whats going on while these type of chapters are intereaction's with laura herself like conversations so on and so forth. (also there is a reason why the sword doesn't listen in on conversations. see if you can figure it out). hope you dont mind the next sword chapter is going to be one of the harder ones to write but i will try my best

Touch O' Luck (The Old Realms)
A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war. The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something. The Old Realms series: Touch O' Luck (Finished) Lure O' War (Ongoing) Wings O' Fate First chapters will be uploaded immediately. After that there will be updates every 3-5 days. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).
