《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.

She doesn't even understand the language, yet. If you see any maths mistakes or strange story decisions, leave a comment and I will either fix it or consider changing it. This is also, essentially, a first draft. That means I will edit older chapters and nothing is final, including numbers. Any major changes are listed in the changelog below each chapter. Since this is a first draft, the start is noticably bad and inconsistent compared to the more recent chapters so you will have to endure that to get to the good stuff.

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make.
