The Legendary Janitor
Most people don't choose reincarnation. Reincarnation finds their way to them. Perhaps they did something great in their life. Or maybe truck-sama wasn't looking where it was going. But without fail, those who reincarnate are destined for something great. A new life where everything changes for the better. But... Reincarnation isn't always the greatest thing. Sometimes you just draw the short end of the stick. Di Tou just happens to have drawn the shortest stick. Pulled out of his life randomly. Taken by a crazy old eccentric man not as a disciple, but as a body double?! And a janitor body double no less?! Grasping a system to find... It's a JANITOR SYSTEM!? Truly, how unlucky can one get?
A Practice Sword is used for... Practice
"So why don't you just say, 'I'm the third famous smith' instead of saying that the third famous smith is An Yang."
Tilting his head, An Yang said, "In either case, it gets the information across, and by focusing on abilities and technical details, it's easier to distance oneself from bias."
Letting out a distant nod, Di Tou agreed, "Oh, well, you were saying something about a sword that's not a sword?"
Nodding, An Yang said, "Yes, the third smith who's famous for Life Bound Swords is An Yang, who specializes in swords that aren't swords. In this world, there are many inheritances and paths that don't have well fleshed out inheritances or structures, whereas the sword path is endless, boundless, and well-established. By taking another path as a sword, there's a certain path of seeking enlightenment through a mirror."
His mind in a daze, Di Tou absentmindedly agreed, right, right, enlightenment through a mirror, that made so much sense… NOT.
