Even My Sword Thinks I'm Useless, But I'll Save the World Anyway
Chapter 2: The Sword That Hates Me
With a hint of curiosity in my tone, I pose the question, "So… do you happen to have a name, or am I destined to refer to you as 'The Rude Sword' for all eternity?" My words hang in the air, laced with a mixture of anticipation and playful intrigue.
