Item Grade : Demon Sword Rare Grade 1

Description:

The blade, sleek and obsidian, seamlessly melds beauty with danger. Its edge, razor-sharp and wickedly serrated, speaks of a malevolent purpose. The blackened steel, etched with ominous runes, seems to absorb the surrounding light, casting an eerie glow in dim environments. The hilt, crafted from an otherworldly alloy, is adorned with haunting motifs of demonic faces and ethereal flames.

Enchantments:

Soul Devourer: The Demon Sword possesses the ability to absorb the life force of defeated foes, empowering its wielder with increased strength and agility.

Infernal Resonance: When drawn, the sword emits a low, haunting hum that unnerves those in its vicinity. This resonance is said to weaken the resolve of adversaries, making them more susceptible to the wielder's attacks.

Abyssal Edge: The blade's malevolent aura enhances its cutting power, allowing it to slice through armor with unnatural ease. The wounds inflicted by the Demon Sword are said to fester, causing prolonged agony to the victim.

Shadowstep Mastery: In the hands of a skilled welder, the Demon Sword grants the ability to momentarily meld with shadows, providing a swift and elusive advantage in combat.

History:

The origins of the Demon Sword are shrouded in myth and legend. Some tales claim it was forged by a sorcerer in league with dark forces, while others speak of a fallen celestial being whose essence was bound to the weapon as punishment. Throughout the ages, the sword has passed through the hands of conquerors, warlords, and those drawn to its malevolent allure.

Warnings:

Legend has it that the Demon Sword exacts a toll on its wielder's sanity. Prolonged use may lead to haunting nightmares, hallucinations, and a gradual descent into darkness. Some stories even tell of wielders who, consumed by the sword's influence, became vessels for malevolent entities seeking passage into the mortal realm.

Those who seek the Demon Sword must weigh the allure of its power against the potential cost to their very soul. In the hands of a virtuous hero, it may be a force for good, but in the hands of the corrupt, it becomes a harbinger of destruction. Only time will reveal the true nature of this rare-grade artifact.

Zax, now fully immersed in the role of Marquis, took on the responsibilities that came with governing. He attended council meetings, managed the fief's resources, and engaged in diplomatic affairs with neighboring territories. The skills he had honed in the game, such as Persuasion and Diplomacy, proved invaluable in navigating the complexities of noble politics. However, he also spends time with his siblings, namely younger sister Akma and brother Hilam that become his allies to the way of the plane destroyer. His sister become the barbarian warriors that inherited from bloodlines mother side that make her one of strongest female legendary warriors in the plane in future meanwhile his brother become king of rogue that on the to godhood as demigod. 

The System, a game-like interface overlaying reality, became an indispensable tool for Zax. Whether it was managing resources, assessing the loyalty of his subjects, or strategizing for potential threats, the System provided real-time information and options. The skill and ability that possessed by Zax also include in window status that 

Zax dedicated time to train and level up his Noble profession, allocating skill points to enhance his diplomatic abilities. He believed that maintaining stability and positive relations within his fiefdom would be crucial in preparing for the inevitable challenges that lay ahead. But he also needs to have the ability to fight in battle and war that will come during the end of time in Plane Gaia.

During this period of adjustment, Zax formed bonds with the people of the fiefdom. The blacksmith, the innkeeper, the farmers — each person contributed to the tapestry of daily life. Zax's family, having weathered the tragedies of the past, became a pillar of support and love to overcome calamity that will happen in Ranger fiefdom in the future. The profit generated in their territory was also suggested by Zax Ranger to His Father Marquis Raimi to fund the Knight and Army to prepare for unrest time because of news of kingdom Kiv wanting to expand their region to wage a war with another kingdom in near time.

One day, as Zax strolled through the bustling town square, a commotion caught his attention. A group of travelers had arrived, seeking refuge and trade. Among them was a skilled alchemist, a wandering bard, and a mysterious rogue. Zax sensed an opportunity to strengthen his fiefdom by recruiting these talented individuals and recruiting many people willing to join the army that was established to safeguard the fiefdom.

Engaging his diplomatic skills, Zax approached the travelers. With charm and tact, he convinced them to stay and contribute their expertise to the fiefdom. The money that is widely used in the plane Gaia is Gold, Silver and Copper that have the same weight as 1 pound. Meanwhile, the exchange rate is 1 gold coin equal to 10 silver coins which is also equal to 1000 copper coins. The alchemist set up a workshop to produce potions that can strengthen the level of everyone in territory, the bard entertained the townsfolk, and the rogue proved invaluable in handling matters discreetly by making an intelligent network across plane Gaia to supply important information about important event that happen around the Plane of Gaia to Zax Ranger.

As time passed, Zax's influence grew. The fiefdom of Ranger flourished under his rule, and the people looked up to their benevolent Marquis. However, the looming threat of the Eternal Abyss and the memories of the game urged Zax to delve deeper into the mysteries of the System.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Zax retreated to his study. The System's interface glowed softly as he accessed the Status window. There are many accumulated EXP from Zax doing the job duties that are related to his class. He wants to use it before going hunting to increase his combat capability and survivability in dangerous areas.
