Worthy? I Don’t care.

[Even at the minimum, The Legendary Holy Sword - Fall, can only be pulled and wielded by someone who has enough power to swing it without getting injured]

"…"

'I'm not going to forget this insult. Not ever. Creator of this Tower, another debt is added to your death list.'

"There must be some other requirements where I pass right? Tell me system, don't get mind washed by this fcking Tower. I can only believe in you"

Even after 5 minutes of begging, I heard no reply from the system.

"Yes! There must be another curse placed on this sword that is kept hidden. That dammed creator wouldn't let anyone have this sword that easily. He must've predicted that someone who'll become a legend will come searching for this sword and clear all the floors."

Yes. This Tower is impossible to clear, yet, I achieved this impossible with my own power. 'don't even have enough power to swing this sword without getting injured?' That's complete dogshit and bullshit! I've even defeated one of the Guardians by throwing a fishbone. Even killed another Guardian by stepping on its heart.

"Yes. I don't need to be worthy. If I have power, why would I care about being worthy or not? I can achieve everything through brute force."

After calming my mind down, I arrived at this possibility. I'm the type of person who cleared all four floors with brute strength. If I can do that, then why can't I pull this sword with brute strength?

"Heh, I don't have skills just for show. Skill – ROR, Spell – manual activation."

[ROR: Spell 1 – Manual Automation (TSR)]

After confirming that the spell activated, I started to give commands.

"Target this sword"

[<Target – "Fall">]

"Sate, locked… or stuck? Whatever, I can't pull it"

[<State – "Fixed">]

"It selected fixed huh? It can also be said like that. For the result, release that sword"

[<Result – "Release">]

[<Spell completed.>]

[<The sword is freed from its requirements.>]

"Now that it's done, Let's try pulling it again."

"On the highest floor of the impenetrable Tower, where dust and debris obscured everything, I, Sally Jake, persevered through all the countless trials and challenges with unwavering power and courage. Despite the Tower's attempts to thwart me at every turn, I overcame each and every obstacle and emerged victorious, as for my prize, the Tower's most guarded treasure, The Legendary Holy Sword - Fall is now mine to take it."

My beating heart as a drumbeat, with coolness in every word of my speech, I slowly pulled out the legendary sword with excitement filled in every cell of my body.

Due to my carelessness, my center of gravity shifted towards the sword and I fell to the stage. But nonetheless, I didn't let the sword touch the ground, thinking that it might trigger some kind of hidden alarm and cause this tower to fall like in some movies.

Laying on the stage, looking at the sword that I was holding like a baby, I couldn't help but marvel at its incredible craftsmanship. No matter how many times I praise it, this sword now belongs to me and me alone. My first step in this new world, my first ever achievement, my first ever reward, a thing that I can call mine.

It filled me with so much joy that I forgot all my fatigue, all the dangers, everything, and slept like a baby without a care in the world.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Eeh? Moooom! What's happening? let me sleep for another five minutes."

Even after my shout, my bed didn't stop shaking. It was even making me hard to sleep. I jerked around, trying to find a comfortable position to continue my sleep despite all the disturbances but my bed seemed to have become so hard that moving around was even hurting me.

"Mom! Did you change the bedsheet while I was sleeping? I can do that myself later if you had given me. I can't even sleep peacefully now."

Boom! Boom!

'Dammit! Is there an earthquake or what? Not even the world is letting me sleep peacefully'. When I opened my eyes to complain about the bed to my mom, I became this close to wet my pants that I couldn't even express it.

With deafening roars, the ceiling started to shatter into a million pieces, sending a deadly rain of debris plummeting to the ground.

"WTF! Our ceiling is crashing! I have to get under my bed. Mom! Dad! Where are you? Why didn't you wake me up sooner…"

I rolled out from my bed and tried to hide under it but I fell a little and my face kissed the hard cold rock. 'My home didn't have stone flooring before… Wait!'

It was at that time that I remembered my position and started to look around the room fanatically. 'Where's my sword, what's happening? Why's the Tower collapsing? Don't tell me…'

I got up from the floor and found out that I fell from the raised stage. The surrounding was a mess that made me question my survival. It was getting harder and harder to breathe when the dust started to raise from all the debris falling. Even after all that, the brilliant light of my sword didn't even blemish a little. Seeing my sword shine like that, made me a little proud…

"Dammit! There's no time for that! Now of all times that my useless imagination works." The sword has already touched the ground and now, as a consequence, this dammed Tower is collapsing itself.

I hurriedly took my sword from my left hand and started to run towards the exit. I don't think that I can survive after falling from six stories high nor can I imagine staying here. I didn't leave the blue sword too. If I can make some coppers out of it, then why not? Taking both the swords in both hands and arrived at the exit.

"Come on… come on"

The shaking didn't seem to stop anytime soon, but the situation was getting more out of hand. My perspective seemed to increase a bit as I can predict and dodge most of the debris. After finally reaching the doors, I pushed them as hard as I can. But it worth nothing. Just when I decided to use my Skill – ROR, I felt the ceiling on my top was about to crumble and fall

Boom!

With another deadly shock, I fell backward, barely escaping a million pieces of debris falling. Now, with the exit blocked by the wreckage, more parts of the broken ceiling started to fall into different places at an alarming rate.

"Dammit! What the hell is happening?" I covered my head with my hands after placing the swords, calculating all the possibilities to escape this scenario…

"… wait a minute!?"

'Why do I have two hands? Wasn't it supposed to be one? My legs too. I have both of them'

Not understanding the heads and tails of this situation, I checked my system for clues.

"This…"

All my status has increased but still it looked pitiful in the end. Also, both my left hand and right leg have recovered due to getting contracted by that sword. I don't know if I should be happy or not about that but, what's done is done.

'Welp, my wish for a cool cyborg metal arm and leg would remain as a wish I think' Getting my head out from all the unnecessary thoughts into the present situation, I started to create some quick plans while dodging all the falling rocks, but panic seized me when I noticed the floor tremble and a giant deep crack appeared beneath my feet.

With fear clouding my judgment, I dropped the swords away but couldn't able to move my body from the crack. As a result, I started to experience my 'legendary cliff-hanging scenario' where I will fight against time and hold onto the edges as much as possible. That is, until a cute girl comes and gives me her hand.

But this isn't an anime or novel. Whenever I tried to get up myself, the Tower shook again and the crack widens. My ideal scenario got crushed after my hands started to become numb just after ten seconds. The Tower was splitting into two parts and the crack was getting deeper and deeper until I can clearly see the molten state of that Acid Slime.

When I thought all hope was lost and getting depressed, the luck that betrayed me before, grabbed my hand as I heard a notification from the system. Without waiting another minute, I willed it to open before my eyes and mustered a little bit of remaining strength in my hands to hang on.

[!]

[Your Spirit Bound Sword – Fall is trying to access your system. Would you like to allow it? > Yes > No]

"What the hell it's asking at a time like this? If it can help me in this situation, then select 'Yes'"

With the last desperate struggle, I selected 'yes' with my will and gave all the access to the system to my sword. My system started to move and browse independently until it found a skill and …

"Wait what!? What are you doing? I didn't know that this Skill was supposed to work like that! No, not that, I don't need that, what are you doing? I told you to save meeeeeeeeee"
