When you think of transmigration… You think of going into a person… Right? Shen yuan also thought this.
He had to sadly learn the hard way, by looking down at his body and there being not even a LIMB! JUST A BLADE! How did he even get here?? The last thing he remembers is… Cussing out the shitty novel that had a hap-hazard ending. While he was eating a bun… When was the expiration date on it again?
Great so he died. I guess there are things worse than being a sword…
Surprisingly, despite the lack of eyes he had, he could see perfectly well. Even better than his original self! With a 360 view of his surroundings. Mabey he should’ve been a sword sooner… Wait, Isn’t there something to guide me?!
Right as he thought that…
⋘ System in hibernation mode. Not close enough to source ⋙
System? Source? HIBERNATION MODE?! What??!? The rapid thoughts flowing through shen yuan’s mind were mainly this:
What’s the source?
Why is the system in hibernation mode? And
YOU PIECE OF BROKEN MALWARE!! WORK!!
Being quite tired of feeling bad for himself shen yuan decided to actually look around his surroundings instead of briefly skimming it. He noticed 3 things.
1. He was in a crater
2. It was very red and sandy wherever he was.
3. HOLY CRAP WAS THAT LAVA?
There was indeed a lava waterfall thing next to a very ominous forest. Shen yuan internally sighed and started lamenting. How does a sword move by itself?! Yes, Shen yuan was sighing and stressing over not being able to move.
If only swords had something that could Possibly make a sword move.. Like qi or something… Now that Shen yuan thinks about it he does feel something in his… “body”. He started feeling for it and soon noticed he had energy in his “body”. 2 kinds to be specific. One felt darker and one felt lighter. That was about it.
Mabey he should focus on where he was transmigrated too. The last thing he read was “proud immortal demon way”… He vividly remembers cursing it out about the thrown together and unsatisfactory ending it had. Shen yuan sighed about as much as a sword can, when he noticed something pop out of those ominous trees….
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING!?!??!?! SYSTEM! SYSTEM!!!!
[ System in hibernation mode. If you have a complaint we will process it at a later date ~(˘▾˘~)]
While Shen yuan mentally lit a candle for himself, a big floating eyeball was coming towards him. As shen yuan tried to gather the presumably qi in his “body” the floating eyeball seemed…. Alarmed. It was quite difficult to tell because it had a lack facial features, to say the least. LASER SOUND (idk). Shen yuan watched in horror as a laser came out of the iris? The iris of the eyeball flying straight towards him.
I guess this was it, my life cut short. Not that a sword can really have a life. As shen yuan was mentally dealing with if a sword had a life or not, he had yet to realize that he was not melted or brutally destroyed yet.
[ CONGRATULATIONS!! CONGRATULATIONS!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Good things must be said Thrice! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ]
A google sounding voice popped up. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIBERNATING?!?!. He wished he could scream, but sadly being a sword ment he had no mouth.
[ We have finished processing the problem!! ]
So you can get me out of this sword now? Oh silly shen yuan, IDIOTIC shen yuan he should’ve known right when he died from eating an expired bun that his life wouldn’t be so easily lived.
[ We are sorry to inform user that this problem could not be fixed!! (⌒▽⌒)]
Before shen yuan could process that statement fully another message popped up.
[ We have decided to continue the plot as it is until we can connect you to your original bound character ]
And what iiis this bound character you speak of? Shen yuan had a VERY bad feeling about this.
[ Bound character: Shen qingqiu ☜(⌒▽⌒) ♪ ]
Shen yuan stared (with no eyes) for a moment in disbelief. SHEN QINGQIU?!?!?! THE ONE THAT'S BRUTALLY MANGLED BY THE PROTAGONIST???!?!? THAT SHEN QINGQIU!? THE SCUM VILLAIN!??!?! NO WAY IN HELL MY BOUND CHARACTER IS HIM! I’LL TAKE THE SWORD THANKS BYE!!
[ Very sorry to inform the user! You do not have a say in the outcome \(• ▾ •)/ ]
BULSHIT! How could a system NOT take in account of the transmigration wants!?!? Simply UNHEARD OF!! At Least he thinks. He never really had a thing for transmigration novels. As shen yuan mentally lit ANOTHER candle for himself the system continued its spiel.
[ As we were congratulating user earlier, you have gained new skills! Be sure to try it out (◕‿◕✿) ]
Shen yuan trying to figure out how he gained a skill suddenly realized he was supposed to be melted. He looked at the eyeball and saw it not floating, but instead on the ground with a hole straight through it. He looked down at himself and there was a black spot. Though barely there. So it hit me.. Shen yuan was no genius but he was also not an idiot so he came to the conclusion that somehow the laser ricocheted off of him.
Remembering the system mentioned a skill he tried to use it… somehow. He first tried to will something into existence. When that (obviously) didn’t work, shen yuan gathered his qi’s and tried to use that energy to do something…. Nothing. Right when shen yuan was about to give- BANG. LASER SOUND (again i don’t know a onamonapia for that) He shooted out a laser!
Though he barely acknowledge that because soon he was staring at a… Dragon?? It looked like a dragon. No more like a lizard. It was small and had a GIANT throat. As shen yuan tried to find out what he was “looking” a- BANG. HOLY CRAP THAT THING IS LOUD. Turns out the giant throat was a way to intimidate predators. Both in its size and sound.
Shen yuan continued to try and figure out how he could access his skill, as he concluded that lizard thing was harmless. He tries until he hears that BANG again. And decides that hes going to kill that thing because its annoying as f*ck.
