I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (LN) - Volume 1 - Chapter Ep

Epilogue

Fran was asleep. She hadn’t had anything to drink, but today had been a series of rough battles. The Daemon was strong, and I honestly thought we were going to lose. To think that I actually fought against a Daemon and won… Me, the guy who had an average job a couple of months ago, killing a Daemon in the form of a magic sword. Could you believe it?

It had been a few months since I was reborn as a sword. Time went by so fast when you were out killing monsters. I fought a Goblin, then a Lesser Wyvern, Slimes, Saber-Tooths, and Hobgoblins.

If I had come to this world as a human, the first goblin I saw would’ve killed me. I was initially shocked by the fact that I was a sword, but I now thought it wasn’t such a bad deal. With my magic and abilities, I was a force that only existed in storybooks back on Earth.

Then I met Fran. I couldn’t believe it had only been five days since we ran into each other. We had grown so close over such a short period of time. I saved her from slavery and she saved me from the magical forest. She became an adventurer, met tons of interesting people, battled an entire goblin horde, and conquered a hobgoblin dungeon by herself. To top it all off, she had a fight to the death with a Daemon and his Dungeon Master. After all that, it was no wonder we were so close.

It was strange of me to say this as a sword, but I actually felt more alive in those five days than I ever had in my previous life.

“Hmm…”

Fran?

She turned in her sleep. I used Telekinesis to reposition her blanket.

She looked so innocent when she was asleep. No, I wasn’t a lolicon. Fran was cute, don’t get me wrong. With her black hair, white skin, and fluffy ears, it was hard not to think of her as cute.

But I cared for her the way a parent would. I wasn’t sure if this was my dormant fatherhood finally awakening or if this was how all swords felt toward their users. Looking at her peaceful face made me want to protect her all the more.

Five days…

It’d only been five days, but I didn’t even want to think about leaving Fran alone. If someone offered to send me back to Earth, I would refuse. That was the conclusion I had come to after being reborn a few months ago and meeting Fran five days ago.

This fantasy world…

I looked out the window at the night sky. The giant, silver crescent was surrounded by four lunar orbs. The more I looked at it, the more it drilled home the fact that this fantasy world was my reality now.

May as well buckle down and enjoy it.

We’ll see what this world has to offer us…
