When I came to, I was in a place of nothingness, no light, no sound or anything that could give me an iota of information about this place. Just pitch black darkness and silence. While I was wondering where I had ended up, I heard a voice.
"Who is't dares to ent'r mine own realm and disturb mine own slumb'r" The voice felt as if it came from the very depth of this place or realm as 'that' called it, as if 'that' existed everywhere.
"O' great one. I am but a stranded soul who stumbled on his path and ended up here forgive my intrusion on your sleep"
"How didst thee cometh h're?" The voice asked
"I channelled my magic through an old and rusty blade and due to my carelessness a drop of my blood stained it and the next thing I knew, I was already p here"
"Is yond so. Alloweth me has't a look at thee, ostraciz'd one"
'Ostracized one? What does he mean?'
"Int'resting thou has't not one but two sealeth placed on thee. One by an elf and anoth'r by the fusty tree"
'Two? Wasn't the only seal on me put by Aunt? And who's the fusty tree?'
"Excuse me O' great one could you tell me where we are and what you mean by two seals?"
"I shalt answ'r thy questioneth little one. Thou art in mine own w'rld. To sayeth t simpl'r w'rds, inside mine own self. The blade thee did touch is mine own physical f'rm. Buyeth t and I shalt accompany thee on thy journey."
"I shall do as you say but, O great one could you tell me your name? I do not know how to refer to you"
"I wast once known as the darkness dragon but am I am but a m're blade with nay nameth to calleth mine owneth"
"I shall call you with your previous name. Can I converse with you again Darkness Dragon seeing as that blade is your physical manifestation in the world?"
"Once thee leaveth this lodging, thee shalt gain the art <Telepathy> thee can useth t to talketh to me in mine own blade f'rm. It is thy timeth to leaveth little one. Oth'r art w'rri'd about thee. "
"Thank you Darkness Dragon I shall now excuse myself."
"Rememb'r to sayeth yond I am only a magical blade and nothing m're" After him saying that, my consciousness began to fade as a saw a silhouette of a black dragon with bright amber eyes in the previous nothingness and heard him say something but could only make out a few words due to my fading consciousness.
'My...own...blood? What did that mean?'
When I woke up again I could see Sylvia-san who was worriedly looking at me. Seeing me wake up she came up to me and asked, "How do you feel? You suddenly fainted when you drew that blade and the synergy that I felt between the blade and you were off the charts I thought that, it might have affected you severely."
"I'm fine Sylvia-san just feeling a bit weak. I could feel a lot of magic from that blade maybe it overwhelmed me. By the way did you buy that sword already?"
"Sure did. I got it for free for buying a magic blade for myself and made him keep quite about my purchase by giving him a few extra coins, it shouldn't be a problem anymore. I also paid for a mass produce single-handed blade for you, I'll have to go and collect it now"
"Oh could I see it?" I wanted to see both swords, the one my aunt brought and the Darkness Dragon.
"Which one?" She asked.
"Both"I replied. After that she went down to get the blades from the blacksmith while she was gone I checked my status again to see if what the dragon said was true said was true.

'What's soul contract?'
'That is the contract I established between us little one' I suddenly heard a voice inside my head. 'Huh who are you? Is it you Darkness Dragon?'
' It is I. You have become the owner of my physical manifestation now. The blade which is my body can now be summoned by you anywhere you are and also use its unique skill <Shadow World>'
'What's that now? And how are you able to even speak in normal dialect now?'
'I used <Telepathy> to learn your language. The language of the world changes every few years so it is hard for me to keep up'
'Do you have other skills in the blade?'
'No but due to my soul that was forged into that blade which is my body, you shall gain some of my skills from my remaining soul fragment when you level up'
'Oh that's great! I'd love having someone as powerful as you by my side and especially seeing you I know that those skills would be very strong'
'Of course! They are my skills! After all I was once called the Supreme Dragon a long time ago'
While we were talking, Sylvia-san walked into the room with two blades in tow, one black and another white.
"Is that your blade Sylvia-san?"
" Yeah it is. Isn't it beautiful? It's a sword made by a dwarf using Mithril and the scales of Kraken they found in the sea. It had a huge commission on it but with it having three skill slots and one skill light thrust already in it, it was quite a buy. My current blade was almost broken after fighting with a Mithril Golem. I was really stupid of me trying to use that as a weapon against a golem."
"Sure were, but this blade...sure is amazing. The craftsman seems to have a lot of work in making this blade light though" Looking at that blade I couldn't help but admire it. They sword of Mithril and Kraken scales looked majestic due to the design of scales you could see here and there. You could even fell its strength when you held it in your hands.
'I'm pretty sure this has a unbreakable enchantment added onto it. It's perfect for Sylvia-san san'
'Useless' I heard the dragon snort.
'Why Do you say that Darkness Dragon?'
'This blade, even if it looks perfect it isn't. The magic efficiency is only at ninety percent. I've been made such that I'm 100% efficient and at the same time don't emit any aura to give away the attack that's to come'
'You sure are prideful huh'
'Why shouldn't I? I am the epitome of forging and have been made using my own soul and heart to make the core of the blade. Every inch of my body was used to create this masterpiece of a sword, that I amm'
"Hey Dan don't get mesmerized by it, this blade has a high synergitic effect with me. I wont give this to you, take your two blades and come we are going to train you so that we get some levels later quite easily"
"Yes!"
'Hey, Darkness Dragon'
'What do you want?'
' How do I improve you. You claim to be all powerful and all but this blade can hardly cut anything'
'Who are you calling dull? I can improve myself soon enough just pour some magic energy to it later. I'll even give you a skill to help you hide that fact that I can repair myself and even throw in a useful skill'
'Oh what are those?'
' <Weapon Transmutation> and <Weapon Creation>'
'Seriously just how many skill do you have?'
'I had a lot but they are mostly gone now, these are a the few skills that I usurped from my opponents when I was a sword'
'You can absorb skills?'
'I can but it happens at random and only one skill is taken from the person killed by the blade'
After finishing everything with the blacksmith we headed towards the Adventurer's Guild where Sylvia-san finished contacting her guard and told him to arrive at Hajimari within a week's time. After that, we made our way over to the training grounds in the back to get used to the swords we brought as our two primary blades.
'Finally I get to try out some moves and can hopefully gain a few skills using my knowledge from ZwaszeAngel'
