《Fantasy Keychain Vol. 1》Chapter 3: Vigilante
Advertisement
This sword... I'm speechless. The moment I swung my small keychain sword, as if I'm imagining it like a real sword, suddenly literally became a real one. I don't know how I did it, nor how will I return it back to its old form, yet, I'm astonished.
'Maybe it's a power... Maybe this is my secret call!?'
Speaking to myself. I was thinking, maybe if I bought other keychains, it will also turn into a real sword, just like this. Maybe my secret power is that I can turn any toys into a real one.
I'm starting to think crazy stuffs and they kept entering my brain as if I'm bringing fantasy into real life. Sooner or later, I began to wake myself up by slapping my face again and again. I even pinched myself in the arm so that I'll fully wake up.
I have to find a way to hide this sword before going back home. So, I took a garbage rug in the dumpster and ran as fast as I can.
As I got home, my mom was watching TV and luckily my dad has night shift. I put the sword into my bed, but still feeling something weird in my knees as if I'm trembling. I sat down and calm for a bit, but at the same time, staring at the sword while spacing out.
'My best-friend was killed by a criminal or maybe even killed by a gang. Maybe this could be the start of my new life. To fight against crime and find the one who killed my best-friend.'
After I speak to myself, I grabbed the sword and tried to practice with it through slashing. My room does have enough space for swinging and slashing of my sword.
I am trying to remember how my swordsman character swings his sword in an MMO-RPG game, giving me ideas on when to attack and when to defend. However, all of it is probably not yet enough.
After training of swinging, I started to sat down and relax for a bit, but stressing out on how will this sword return back into a keychain again.
I was speaking to it while holding, "Turn back... Please turn back into a keychain again! How? How will you return to your old form?"
I tried different kinds of things, as well as thinking it to turn into a keychain again. However, still nothing happens.
I felt despair and distressed. Bitch slapping my face, because I don't know what to do about it, but I'm still not losing hope...
If I remember, I think of it as a real sword, then after a few swing, it turns into a real one. Maybe I need to focus on it to be real, but this time, think of it as a keychain. And so I did, however, nothing still happened.
Next, I tried to swing the sword just as I did when it turns into a real sword, but this time, I will think of it as a keychain while swinging. However, nothing still happened.
I sighed in frustration, but this time, I will focus staring into my sword while holding it. I will focus on it to turn it into a keychain as if I've learned telekinesis or psychokinesis. However, nothing still happened and at the same time, I got too frustrated. Ugh!
I rest for a bit while thinking of new ideas, and at the same time, crazy ideas. One of my ideas would put that huge sword back to its scabbard keychain, but at the same time, thinking of it like a real sword being sheathed in the scabbard. One of my crazy ideas as well are like bringing it back to the storeーprobably people would see meーor maybe call the owner of the storeーbut I'm too shy for itーso that he'll pick it up instead. I had many more ideas, but some of it are forgotten, because I'm suffering from distress right now.

I tried to calm myself by leaving the house to try to have some fresh air. The time is still a little early for stores to be closed. So, I decided to head to Kenshi no Buki to buy a new keychain.
This time, the keychain is somewhat fantasy-like, because it was from an anime game called SwordsOnline. The keychain is named Elucidator, and the sword is owned by the main character. It's almost black with a Christian cross on its hilt. It costs me $60 buying this keychain sword and I quickly hurried home just to test it.
I was going to test my new sword, when suddenly, my mom said that it's time to eat.
I cannot do anything, because if I said a little later, she will come up and open the door to shout on me and that gives me idea that she will eventually see what I am doing and will ask where did the sword came from.
I don't know how will I explain it to her, so I decided to just go with the flow. The food on our dinner table is Gyūdon and it was so tasty. I even almost had 2 bowls of rice as I finish my beef bowl.
After eating, I started to return back to my unfinished business. I started to think the Elucidator as a real sword while also thinking of myself like a real swordsman, unsheathing his sword from his scabbard.
I started to swing the sword via unsheathing it from the scabbard and then... Nothing happened...
I was... Unsatisfied... it's like I humiliated myself as I frown. Then all of a sudden, I laughed while also crying as if I've gone mad. I have literally lost my mind.
After a little while, I crossed out some of my plans from the list like example; Going to ask the store owner about my magic sword. Because maybe my sword is the only one with magic and that not all keychains can turn into a real one.
I still did not stop at thinking that I could turn any toys like example; A toy gun into a real oneーI took my old toy gun when I was a kid and then think of it into a real handgun. However, nothing still happened.
I started to lose hope, so I instead, tried my crazy ideas like putting the huge sword back to its small scabbard. This is a wrong idea, after all, how will a big sized sword fit into a small scabbard? But I still tried it. I tried putting the sword into the keychain scabbard and closed my eyes while also thinking of myself as a swordsman, sheathing his sword.
It felt like I'm seeing a light from my closed eyes, so when I opened my eyes, there, I saw the sword back to its old form, the keychain. I had this feeling that I can't explain. It is giving me chills and tears, because finally, I resolved my problem.
I was laughing so hard that my mom could almost hear me, "How could I be so stupid? Who knows my crazy idea would work!? Hahaha!"
This is my first time to laugh so hard like this. I can laugh, but not as hard as this. Maybe because laughing so hard isn't really my thing.
After a little while, a moment of silence comes in. The sounds fade as I stare at my keychain sword. I looked at it with a fierce look and then... I unsheathed my sword while also thinking of it like a real sword. The keychain sword eventually turned into a real sword, and I was so amazed!

It was magnificent and I'm astonished by my $10 keychain, because who would've thought that you could buy such a keychain with a special feature.
I soon started to think my scabbard the same way. And somehow, it turns into a real one too. I also think of sheathing my sword to the scabbard while thinking of it as a keychain after, and it did turn into one!
I guess that it will turn into a keychain if I did put it back in its scabbard, so I did the other way around. When I sheathe my sword to the scabbard without thinking it to turn into a keychain, it did not turn into one. It remained real. So, I held it and think of it as a keychain once more, and there! It turns into a keychain once again.
There is still one question my brain is begging. What about the key-ring and its keychain? What happened to it? Because I do not see a key-ring nor a keychain when my scabbard becomes real.
So, I tried to unsheathe my sword and think both the sword and scabbard into a real one, but as I do it, the key-ring, as well as keychain clip, evaporates into thin air. But when I tried to turn it back into a keychain again, it magically appeared just like that.
I was like, "Awesome..."
My eyes were sparkling, because I am surprised and astonished, but at the same time, feeling and thinking it is unreal, but it is real!
The next day, I finally returned to school and everyone thought that I am sad and suffering from trauma, but what they see is an excited me. I was like full of energy, and I don't know, I guess I'm just still overwhelmed and happy and positive.
I have my keychain with me as if I have a pocket sword or let's just say a pocket weapon along side with me.
After my class, I headed to the street while whistling with arms around my head's back.
As I passed by an alley. I saw a guy with a gun, over confident that he would shoot anyone. At the same time, aiming his gun to a woman while also asking for her purse.
I am shocked, but at the same time, looking at him with a glaring look as if I want to help, save, and protect her.
I said to myself, 'This is my chance to see what my sword can do...'
He saw me and shouted at me, "What are you looking at, kid!? You want me to shoot you too??"
He is so confident, that is why I believed he had ammo in his gun. I have my keychain sword too, but what will a sword do against a gun?
I tried to step a little closer to try to attempt slashing him, however, he saw me.
"Don't you dare come any closer!" He shouts.
His knees started to tremble. I thought he was so confident in shooting me, but why is he having second thought? Now I started to think that maybe he is just bluffing and that not even a single bullet is within his gun.
So, I started to charge at him and magically unsheathe my sword from the keychain scabbard, but as I was about to slash, a sound of gunfire just roared, near my right ear.
My hearings were hurt and I'm concussed for a second, but no one was hurt, not even me.
He was in pure shock, trembling from upper body to his lower body, as he misses his shot.
I was also feeling a little tremble. However, I started to parry his handgun, making him surprised. The woman was also in pure shock, crying in fear as if the world is ending. So, I did not try to kill the bad guy. However, I did try to put the sword in his neck as if I'm about to cut him while also threatening him, "If you ever do this again! I will kill you!"
The robber was in trauma and couldn't even say anything nor move a muscle. Meanwhile, I told the woman to go and leave, and so she did. After that, I left to go home, leaving the robber alone.
By the time I'm in my room, I was thinking that maybe I got lucky and that maybe that guy has only one bullet in his gun, or worse, he have ammo, but he did not shoot that much.
I was having critical thinking after the incident, but also, thinking of something else, 'Maybe I could avenge my best-friend. Maybe I could be a hero. Maybe I could help people who are having problems with criminals. Maybe... I can be... A vigilante...'
The following day, my vigilantism continues. I stopped a shop robbery, a kidnapping, threatening the bad guys with my iron sword while also looking at them with a scary, piercing look. I even scared-off some street perverts.
After all of that, it's finally late night. On my way back home, I put my sword on top of my right shoulder while whistling, when suddenly, a guy in a black coat, started to charge at me. I was surprised, but I parried his attack and he is using a sword as well. Though his sword is not as cheap as mine, it somehow has a style on its hilt and has a wolf emblem on its pommel.
He attacks and attack, pushing me back 'till he slashes me in the arm. I got wounded, but then I hit back. However, he is more trained. More better at using a sword than me. He even has a combo!
I couldn't use my left arm, because that's where he slashed me. So basically, I'm just one-handed now. However, my sword is heavy, making it hard for me to wield it. He is so eager to kill me and was about to thrust me, when suddenly, another guy in a black coat, showed up and parried his incoming attack.
He just suddenly came out of nowhere, like he stepped out of the shadow. It's like he was watching from the dark before trying to help.
I was watching them parry each other's attack, when suddenly, I saw blood everywhere below the guy whom attacked me. I don't remember wounding him when I was fighting, so how did he get wounded? I'm just watching them parry each other, but I don't see any attacks.
Could it be, that this guy that saved me, wounds this guy that tried to kill me just by parrying? Or could it be, that he is fast at slashing his sword? So fast that it can't be seen by my own two eyes that he is already slashing the guy without second thoughts?
Sooner or later, the guy that tried to kill me, decided to retreat. However, the guy that helped me, suddenly chants something, "Incinerate!"
As the guy that tried to kill me is about to step back, the guy that helped me, began to slash him in just one blink of an eye. The guy that got slashed, started to burn all by himself and I don't even know where did the fire came from nor how did he do it. All I know is that this guy's sword lights up in the color of orange after he chanted 'Incinerate'.
The guy suddenly turns into ashes and I was in shock, when suddenly, the guy that killed him said, "Incinerate burns the body, leaving no evidence, but ashes... Next time, don't leave evidences. Will you?" He then looked at me as soon as he asks that.
I was amazed and speechless by him. As he explains it, I was behind him when he sheathes his sword. His scabbard is somewhat strapped behind him, so it is easy to put his sword back.
I was just... I couldn't move, like this was the same feeling I had when I saw my best-friend's hand, and at the same time, back when I first saw my keychain turn into a real sword.
I was astonished by his coolness. However, I grabbed my sword and stood up, then I attempt to attack him, only to end up parrying with him.
I thought I would be able to hit him easily since his sword is already sheathed. However, he still managed to parry with me. And as I parried with him, he looked at me with a scary, poker face look. So different from my glare.
I was asking myself, 'Who is this guy? Who are they? Why are they both in a black trench coat, and why someone is trying to kill me and the other one just saved me? Is he planning to kill me afterwards or is he really a good guy? Just what is going on..?'
