Fantasy: Life Simulation As A Sword

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The sound of iron being struck resounded from far away.

At this moment, Lu Yu was quietly hanging on the wall. He couldn't see anything before him and was enjoying his peace.

As for why he was hanging on the wall instead of standing on the ground, sitting on a chair, or lying on a bed...

It was because he was no longer a human. Instead, he became a low-quality, ordinary sword.

At this moment, he was one of the many swords hanging in a warehouse.

It had been a week since he had transmigrated from earth and become a sword. In those seven days, he listened to the conversations between the workers and blacksmiths outside the warehouse. He learned that this was a magical world similar to the original god.

There were many people here who had powerful abilities. Rumors said that even gods were hidden in some places within this land. Based on what he had heard, these gods were the true rulers of this world. Additionally, they possessed terrifying power that ordinary people couldn't even fathom.

As for himself, he resided within a smithery in a small town called Huska. Huska was located on the border of the Canglan empire.

Lu Yu tried his best to recall.

From his blurry memories, he knew he had been excavated from a relic by a Baron named Grant. The latter spent much effort obtaining Lu Yu.

This Baron Grant belonged to a transcendent family known as the Stuart family. It was said that the Stuart family held a very high status not only in Huska but even in the border area of the Canglan empire.

Baron Grant was delighted when he had entered the secret realm and dug Lu Yu out. He almost thought that he had dug out a Legendary artifact.

In the end, after his excitement, he found an appraiser to appraise it.

He discovered that the sword he had found was only an ordinary weapon slightly inferior to low-grade weapons due to its severe damage. It might be barely usable if given to a supernatural being without any background.

However, as a Baron of a large family, he looked down on this kind of low-quality weapon. Moreover, it was utterly incompatible with his noble status as a Baron.

Since then, Lu Yu had been thrown into the blacksmith shop under Baron Grant's family. The blacksmith had hung him on the wall in the warehouse and no one cared about him. Not a single customer was willing to buy him. After all, no one would want to spend their money on a useless and ugly weapon.

Therefore, he had been alone for more than half a year. At this moment, his sheath was already covered in dust.

Clang!

All of a sudden, Lu Yu heard the sound of a door opening.

The door of the blacksmith shop's warehouse, which hadn't been opened for a few months, released a glimmer of light.

Two figures followed the light and walked in. Lu Yu looked at the two of them with curiosity.

The warehouse of the blacksmith shop, which was usually empty, was actually visited today.

One of the figures had a long golden beard, a strong body, and toned muscles. He was the Stuart family's head of the blacksmith shop's work and operations. He was Baron Grant, the one who had dug Lu Yu out of the secret realm.

Baron Grant was the first person with an energy level of two in Huska. According to Lu Yu's knowledge, there was a massive gap between someone with energy level one and someone with energy level two.

He had only become a transcendent creature at the first energy level. At that time, he was just an ordinary person with decent strength who had access to a few special abilities.

Magic apprentices and knight apprentices were both at this level. However, everything changed when he reached energy level two.

People who reach energy level two would have their strengths rapidly increased, and each of them possessed terrifying power that ordinary people couldn't achieve.

Creatures at energy level two were more terrifying than all kinds of powerful wild beasts. Even without light, they had excellent vision and only needed three to four hours of rest daily.

The higher Baron Grant's energy was, the more his strength, agility, thinking, and spiritual perception would increase. Additionally, he could keenly sense unknown dangers and existences in the dark.

There were no weapons he couldn't use, and there were no fighting styles he couldn't master. With sufficient spiritual energy in his body, he could ignore conventional weapons.

At that moment, a young boy, who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, stood beside Baron Grant. The boy was dressed in a black and white magic apprentice's uniform. It was evident that he was a magician's new apprentice; a newbie in the world of magicians.

"Honorable Sir, this is the warehouse of our blacksmith shop. We have a lot of things that we have no use for. For those, we store them here."

Baron Grant was respectfully introduced to the apprentice. Lu Yu was surprised to see Baron Grant's respectful attitude.

It was rare for a highly-ranked man to be so respectful to a magic apprentice.

He observed the young magic apprentice and found a Bauhinia symbol on the corner of his clothes.

Lu Yu immediately understood why Baron Grant was so respectful. The Bauhinia Clan was the symbol of a Duke in the Canglan Empire. Within the empire, this Duke had unimaginable power and influence.

It wasn't hard to imagine that he was from the Bauhinia Clan. Additionally, seeing the symbol he had, the magic apprentice was indeed from the Bauhinia Clan.

It seemed that he was here to learn some management experience. At the same time, he wanted to satisfy his exuberant curiosity.

The magic apprentice nodded and looked around curiously. This was a rare sight for him as a person who had only been studying magic incantations all year round.

Baron Grant followed behind and gave him a detailed introduction. Not long after, the magic apprentice noticed Lu Yu, who was hanging on the wall.

He asked in a clear voice, "What's the use of this sword? Why is it hanging here?"

Hearing the magic apprentice's question, Baron Grant looked at Lu Yu and sighed, "This sword doesn't have much use. It's truly a pity."

"Eh? Why is it a pity?" the magic apprentice asked in confusion.

Hearing that the two of them were talking about him, Lu Yu tensed up and listened carefully.

"I took this sword out of the secret realm around a year ago. That secret realm was magnificent. I thought that this sword would also be extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be a completely useless piece of trash."

"Its power can only be compared to low-grade magical tools. Due to damage, it's extremely ugly, so no one would be interested in it."

"In the end, this sword just happened to pass the appraiser's evaluation. Apparently, the materials used to make this sword are very precious."

"If it's forged into other tools, it's likely to become a mid-grade or high-grade magic tool. So, I've decided to melt this ugly sword down and reforge it tomorrow. By then, I should be able to create a mid-grade weapon."

Baron Grant answered the magic apprentice's question thoughtfully.

He shook his head in disdain when he mentioned the sword that Lu Yu had become. Obviously, he disdained the sword, which couldn't even be sold.

Alas, it was better to take it back and reforge it. Who knows, he might even be able to sell it for a reasonable price.

The magic apprentice nodded. He also felt that a broken iron sword wasn't suitable for the delicate nobles.

He turned to look at the other tools in the warehouse. When Baron Grant talked about the other tools, he was beaming with joy.

Baron Grant smiled in discomfort.

It was apparent the magic apprentice liked these things.

He liked everything else compared to the one that Lu Yu was in, which was a useless magic tool that nobody would buy at a glance.

He preferred things that looked good and could be sold for a high price. At the same time as he was happy, Lu Yu felt numb when he heard that he would be remade!

"F*ck! You want to put me back in the furnace to be remade, but have you considered my opinion?"

"Are there any human rights left? Isn't it too ridiculous to melt it down and reforge me?" Lu Yu roared in his heart.

He would've been covered in cold sweat by now if he could. As a sword, he didn't know if he would still be alive if he were melted down and then reforged into another magic tool.

Furthermore, his current state was similar to that of a weapon spirit.

Getting sent back to the furnace and remade in such a state, he was almost destined to dissipate completely!

Ding! Ding!

Just as anxiety and uneasiness filled Lu Yu's heart from the current situation...

A crisp sound made him tremble.

"Congratulations on awakening the Life Simulation System, host." a voice said in Lu Yu's mind.

Immediately after, a series of information burst into Lu Yu's mind, familiarizing him with the system.

Apparently, this system allows him to simulate a part of his life. To be precise, he could enter different paths in his life according to the choices provided by the system.

After a simulation is completed, the hosts would receive different rewards based on their ratings.

At the same time.

A panel appeared in front of Lu Yu.
