A world without time

The world were once separated by country…now began…the region of the one world government, earth had been unified as one government known as the O.W.G. Their flag was black with the three letter acronym….

 

Though their were separate cities, the earth itself was known as one government therefore one country…

 

Kin Yamazaki was a young 16-year-old high-school student that went to Okazaki high in the city of Toimogu in the upper-west of the world. Kin had black hair that went across his right purple eye covering it, giving him an emo vibe. The students were forced to wear black vests with white long-sleeve shirts and black pants, their school’s emblem on their right torso which was a red “R” inside a silver sun.

 

 CHAPTER 1 The beginning Of A Long Journey 

 

The young student sat at his desk drawing fantasy characters as he always did, he was drawing a sword with magical powers when the teacher came up swiping it out of his hand. The teacher was a heavier old man with black hair and glasses. “How dare you draw in my class! I will have you suspended for such disrespect!”

 

He and the other students watched as the teacher tossed the notebook in the metal trash bin before tossing a match inside. A cold weight grew within Kin as he watched the bin set ablaze with flames within the white classroom. Clinching his fists, tears poured from his eyes as he got up walking over to the bin looking at the flames before it slowly died down.

 

The teacher crossed his arms ordering the student to sit back down. That’s when Kin sent a fierce strike across the teacher’s face, shattering the man’s glasses as they flew from the man’s face hitting the floor in pieces, blood running from the man’s face. “WHY YOU LITTLE BRAT! I’LL HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR THIS!” The young teen quickly ran to the back of the classroom, opening one of the large windows before jumping from the 3rd floor, managing to catch a tree branch stopping his fall before landing in the grass behind the schoolyard.

 

Taking off full-speed, Kin didn’t look back as he dashed over to the large school wall, managing to scale it before escaping into the forest that spread miles behind the school. “I’m done with school...done with this place, I will travel the world until I find a place where I can be happy and feel as though I belong. My notebook is gone as is a part of me...I spent years creating an entire world within those pages, only for them to turn to ashes in mere moments”

 

Sitting down he rested against a large cherry blossom tree that seem to have sprouted in the middle of the forest while the other trees surrounding it were mere oak trees. He took of his vest as cherry blossoms danced withing the air around him as if in slow motion. He could feel a soft breeze brush across his face as he relaxed wiping his dried tears.

 

“A quote from someone once said: “When one’s world has been destroyed, stand up and create one that surpasses the last” Whoever spoke those words is right, I won’t let the loss of my creations break me...I shall rise up to the task of creating a world that is even greater than before!” Leaving his vest in the forest, he walked through the peaceful forest letting out a calming breath knowing he wasn’t trapped in a place that had no respect for him any longer. He was free to do what he thought was right...

 After a few hours of walking, he spotted something shiny lying across a large rock, the sunlight reflecting off its surface. Making his way over to the item, he realized it was a sword. It was a two-handed silver sword with a golden grip and cross-guard. “T-this sword...it looks just like the one from my notebook! It can’t be though” Slowly Kin reached down picking the blade up with one hand. The grip was slightly warm from the sun’s heat but didn’t burn him.

 He inspected the blade looking it over before slowly raising it to the sky with a smile on his face. That’s when he heard a voice within his head: (Hello Kin, thank you for finding me, I've been stuck in these woods for so long, I thought I'd never be found) This caught the teen off-guard as he spun around gripping the blade tightly looking for the source of the young male voice.

 (Oh, I'm sorry if I frightened you...I am Osukai, I was once human like you before being reincarnated as this sword. I am able to communicate to those who wield me by connecting our minds together. I thought some knight would find me but to my surprise it was a mere boy. Though, you seem to be able to wield me with little issue, how strange, I'm an S rank weapon so I doubt many can handle my power, yet you seem fine. Try attacking with me)

Kin gripped the sword with both hands, focusing his sights on an old oak tree as he swung with all his might as a slash of blue energy pierced through the tree as it broke from it’s roots hitting the ground. (Incredible, you’re not only able to hold me like a mere blade, but can attack with me as well! You must have great potential within you. Many others before you attempted to merely hold me yet either passed out or couldn’t lift me from wherever I laid)

“You look just like the sword I drew in class hours ago before my notebook was burned to ash by my heartless teacher”

 (Really? How strange, but at least you managed to escape. With your talent and my power, we could achieve greatness! Let us search this world for ways to grow stronger and become a legend!) With a nod Kin walked further through the forest gripping the blade tightly in his hand when they spotted a dark figure moving through the forest, it looked like a figure made of dark energy as it moved at a fast rate. That’s when Kin realized it was headed towards them.

 “O-Osukai...what is that thing!?”

 (I’m not sure, I can sense a demonic aura emanating from it so I assume it’s a type of demon. Though I can’t see, I can sense everything around me such as magic and life energy) The shadow demon made it’s way towards them, it’s lifeless eyes focused on them as it reached out towards them. Kin stood frozen in fear when the sword shouted for him to attack.

 

Gripping it with both hands, Kin closed his eyes in fear, swinging the blade with all his strength. Once again, a wave of magical energy sliced through the creature as it froze in place before splitting in half as it faded away. The young teen fell to one knee out of breath from the rush of fear. “W-what’s going on...my life seemed normal until I enter this forest! I must be going insane...this is just my mind crumbling apart!”

 (You’re not going insane, there’s thousands of things hidden from most humans, but seems it was just a coincidence that you happen to come across me. As for the demon, I'm unsure of it’s origin. However, now that you are my master...I'm afraid you’ll have to say goodbye to your normal life. Once we’ve linked together, it cannot be undone)

“Sigh, well it’s not like I had anything in my normal life. No friends...no family worth staying for. So, I'll just live it all behind and start a new life” With a deep breath, Kin ventured through the forest far away from Toimogu as the sun began to go down, giving off a beautiful pale-red color. That’s when the young boy spotted a cave at the bottom of a large mountain, it was pitch-black as he approached it’s entrance. 

“Osukai, can you use your magic to illuminate our way inside?” The sword abruptly lit up in a blue aura lighting a small path before him allowing the teen to walk inside. The cave was cold with only the sound of water dripping onto the floor. As he reached the back of the ominous cave. That’s when he spotted a figure sitting up against the cold stone walls.

As it came into view, the figure came into view as a zombie sat before him fast asleep. It had black hair wearing brown cloth rags for clothing. As the monster awoke before him, a scream caught in Kin’s throat aiming his sword toward the zombie who rose to his feet before the frightened teen.

“Don’t be afraid human, I don’t want to hurt you. Unlike most undead, I can think rationally as if I were human. My name is Kento Sukada, my I know your name young swordsmen?”

“K-Kin Yamazaki. I’m new to this whole fantasy world thing. I assumed my life would be boring and average until I found this sword. It goes by Osukai. He communicates through telepathy and told me he was once a human now Reincarnated As An S-Rank sword”

“Well Kin Yamazaki, the sun’s going down soon, it’s best you stay here to make sure no monsters can attack you. In the morning I’ll help you with the basics of being an adventurer” With that Kento sat back down against the wall before falling asleep. Meanwhile Kin was a little nervous about staying near a zombie but felt as though his new friend was genuinely a good person. Laying on the cold stone floor he soon fell asleep as well…

As morning came, sunlight poured through the cave entrance waking the young boy. He stretched before standing up where he found Kento standing outside the cave looking out into the forest letting the forest’s soft breeze brush across his undead body. “Though I’m undead, I can kind of feel the wind on my face” The zombie turned to see Kin stepping outside holding his blade tightly in his hand looking around cautiously as if expecting to be attacked by something.

“Don’t worry, not many creatures in this forest is even strong enough to match up to me. So as long as you stay close nothing should be able to harm you. Now then, show me your skills as a swordsmen. You say you’re new to adventuring, so let’s help you practice with that legendary weapon”

Kento put his hands up in a fighting stance watching his opponent closely with his undead eyes, unlike most eyes, his eyes were black with blue irises. Kin gripped his weapon with both hands charging straight for the undead. Swinging his blade at full strength, the young warrior missed by mere inches, sending a magical slash past him cutting a large tree in half as it split down the middle before hitting the grass.

“Hmm, seems your weapon certainly does possess immense magical power. Though without actual swordsman skills, you won’t be much of a threat but could accidentally hurt someone with that attack If you’re not careful. Let’s try some target practice, this will help improve your accuracy so you don’t accidentally hit something or someone”

Standing in front of them, Kento held his open palm out as he manifested a fireball that levitated within his grasp. This caught Kin off guard at the sight of a zombie using magic. “First a zombie that acts like an average human, now you can use magic as well!?”

“For now I’m only capable of using fire magic. Though it also gives me a fire nullification which is a good advantage since fire is one of the magic types most undead are weak against. Now then…think fast!” With a sudden movement Kento shot his small fireball right for the young human who hesitated in fear of being burned, putting his guard up as the flaming projectile struck the edge of the blade with wisps of flames shooting out in all directions before the attack was sent soaring into the sky as burst in burst of flames.

Kin stood shaking from the adrenaline rushing through his body as he took deep breaths trying to calm down. Kento Clapped with a smile on his face forming another ball of flames. “I’m impressed you managed to deflect the 1st one, maybe you really do have potential. However, you let your fear take over. In a life or death situation, such a weakness will spell doom for you. If you wish to become a real warrior…you must focus on your survival. Overthinking will only grow your fear until you’re frozen and wide open to an attack”

Kin tighten his grip once more as Kento raised his hand above him, making his sphere of flames twice as big as before. “Fear will only weaken you…stay calm and focus” Without another word, the undead mage sent the magical projectile head-on for the young swordsmen.

(F-fear will only weaken me…) Letting out a deep breath, he stood his ground with a determined look in his eyes. “I won’t let my fears hold me back!” Just as he came face to face with the blazing attack, Kin swung his blade with all his might, making direct contact with the sphere as he could feel himself slowly getting forced back as his feet scraped across the dirt. Kin’s hair blew from the force of power the attack emitted when the young warrior stomped his foot firmly to the ground, sending the stronger attack right back at the zombie who was caught off guard. In a burst of immense flames, Kento was set ablaze by his own attack until the flames died out with only his clothes scored.

“Great work Kin, you managed to overcome your fear and push yourself further. Though there’ll be plenty more obstacles in your path, this test just shows you have the potential to grow as a warrior. Make sure you train and keep improving with your sword until it becomes 2nd nature to you. I think that’s enough training for now. It’s time to see how you fare on a quest against a real monster”

As they made their way through the forest, Kin held his sword up speaking to it telepathically: (You ok Osukai? You were quiet during the training session)

(I’m fine master, I don’t talk much during a battle unless it’s to alert you of damage) Lowering his blade he followed his ally down the forest path where a village came into view.
