《Shadow- the solo sword master》book 1 chapter 8 Desire part 2 completed
Advertisement
In response towards shadows demand of explaining himself Desire simply opened a screen in front of shadow.
"CALM YOURSELF SHADOW, I mean master, all your questions would be answered in due time but currently this is of far more importance".
Although Shadow was obviously disgruntled about the situation, he could do nothing but comply if he wanted answers so he replied with "Please continue on then Desire". Desire just opened a screen in front of Shadow as his reply.
"I will ignore the obvious sarcasm in your tone, but enough of that it is time for the real explanation to begin." To start off i will tell you about myself, however i would not reveal any information that is too dangerous for you too know at your current state.
Shadow I can only tell you the basics of my life, so dont ask for more information about it until you manage to reach a higher rank of power.
Now to begin, i am the sword DESIRE like my name suggests my power lies with darkness and desire.
I belong to the special series of swords called eternal, each eternal is named after their raw power or special ability such as death, hope, despair, etc.
My special ability is sword resonance it allows me to track a sword of the eternal series if they are within my field of detection.
Every sword has a different trial to find their master and the weaker the sword the easier the trial, Before i met you i was one of the few swords remaining without a master. We swords cannot utilize our full potential without a master, and so when a sword with a master fights with a sword without a master unless they are different ranks the sword with the master will win.
We swords can grow stronger depending on our elements and powers, for example the death sword gets stronger the more she kills with her masters as long as she bathes in their blood and takes away their life essences she would grow stronger.

I get stronger by desiring more powers more and more, so i devour other swords and gain their powers especially if they are from the same species as me.
We swords have a ranking system different to the systems version ours is simply rank 1 , 2 and so on until the number 100 where swords below that are just trash in our eyes.
I wont tell you my real ranking as you are too weak and im currently sealed so i would tell you currently the power you can release is not even a rank.
There is no known sword ranked 1, it is said in a legend that all the rank 1 swords tried to devour each other to reach rank 0 but failed and split into many pieces and those pieces are us swords.
Thats all i can tell your currently about the basics of the swords.
Shadow just stood there letting the information sink in before reading the next screen about DESIRE.
This is a limited story of my life. There once was a long sword, wrapped with a dark power surrounded by nothingness, a sword locked away, unused slowly piling dust on itself in the middle of an enclosed dark room.
In the past the sword was actually kept with other swords that were far inferior to it (they didnt know), as lifeforms went in to pick a weapon, many saw the sword to be powerful as an aura of darkness was leaking out so many has tried to become the master of such a sword, thinking if they get the sword they will become the strongest.
However all that has tried had died by just touching the sword, unable to withstand the swords power and trial. Soon the lifeforms started to spread the word about it being cursed and deadly unable to be wielded. Because of the rumors all the potential candidates no longer tried to touch the sword as they feared for their life.

Until one day a powerful lifeform had appeared, renowned across the world as the number one sword master disciple
, having talent far superior to his master his master has sent him here to find a suitable sword for himself. As the deposit is where the most powerful swords was kept, in the royal treasury of the sword kingdom.
The disciple however was warned to never touch the long sword leaking the aura of darkness as it was believed to be cursed, the disciple however in his arrogance disregarded his master advice and believed that only he could wield the so called cursed sword. However like all before him he also failed and died, when the news was spread across the world kingdoms united together and sealed the sword within an enclosed room where none can enter.
As the sword lay there piling dust, all it could do was watch the other inferior swords being chosen and having a master, allowing it to achieve its life purposes. As the years go past and the sword being forgotten, the sword started to become envious and jealous of the other inferior swords wandering why is it only him that wasnt chosen, and that other weaker swords was chosen.. Soon the sword started to DESIRE things and broke free of his imprisonment sick of the emptiness he set out without a master to achieve his original mission to become the strongest.
On his journeys not a single life form passed his trial and all died, still wandering without a master his powers was limited. Desire was wandering randomly until one day he picked up on another sword from the same series, desiring its powers he planned an ambush towards the sword. And on that day Desire had devoured Death and taken her powers for his own becoming stronger.
However as Desire was feasting on Death she had sent a message for help towards RESTRAINT another sword whose power was to seal. When Restraint came near the scene it was too late Death had been completely devoured by desire and in his rage Restraint had called his master over to use his strongest ability chains of judgement.
Desire however was aware when he was feasting as picked up on Restraint, so the moment chains of judgement activated Desire had launched his own attack. An attack combined with the power of Death and Desire however without a master its power was halved. As the chains sealed Desire the attack had hit Restraint and his master causing massive damage towards them, which led to the weakening of the seal allowing Desire to escape.
As Desire was escaping he noticed that he could only muster a very tiny portion of his power and was enraged, until he noticed that the seal was actually weakened and that Desire could actually devour it with time slowly but surely. However he picked up on many weaker swords nearing his position, and all of them had chains on them marking them as a servant of Restraint just when Desire was cursing himself for not having a master a screen appeared in front of him. then he disappeared along with the chains on him.
That is the bare minimum of my life i can tell you Master or Shadow what do you prefer me to call you anyway.
author notes
im a lazy author, that only releases first drafts, the writing might be worse than normal as im writing this when im not feeling good, (i think i might have depression and anxiety) .

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.
