"I choose you." I said as I pointed towards a bronze gate. This gate looked old and abandoned I almost suspected that I was hallucinating. In large strides I walked towards it and entered the gate.
"BZZP!" As soon as I entered I was teleported to a different location.
"You have entered the Flail Gate." 02 said as I looked around.
Now if you didn't know a flail is basically a morningstar (which is a spiked metal ball) attached with a chain to a wooden grip typically.
As I looked around I saw 3 flails. The first from the left was a dark black flail with 3 morningstars and a grip that looked like obsidian. On the right there was a dark red flail with 1 morningstar. It looked like someone had doused the whole thing with blood.
What interested me the most though was the flail in the middle. It was pure white but it had no grip at all. It was just a ball and a chain. But that wasn't what had interested me. The thing that had interested me was the shining red light that emitted from the centre of the morningstar.
"02 may I have a description on each flail please?" I asked expectantly to which 02 replied "Sadly no. The weapon you pick is up to faith. I will leave you with a piece of advice though. Within each gate there is one weapon which is special from the rest. With said weapons someone could breach gaps in talent with pure power, that is if they are able to unlock the hidden power within said weapons. Dont worry though there's always a chance to get a good weapon later and naturally as long as you train for a while those with lower talent with said weapons might not even have a chance to strike."
Hearing this I looked at the 3 weapons. 'Well at least I have about a 33% chance to pick the weapon. Now if we look at it from my perspective the middle weapon is the most eye catching but that could easily be a ploy so I dont notice the other 2 weapons. Of which one looks like a weapon ready for massacre while the other looks like a weapon for an assassin. That or an emo weeb.' I thought as I inspected each weapon.
I stood there in thought for at least 10 minutes till I said "F*ck it I'll take the gamble." As I walked towards the white gripless flail. After walking towards it I was only 10 centimeters away from it, when, as if something inside of me burst and grabbed the chain with all my might.
"Is the weapon you choose?" 02 asked as I nodded. "Then pour a drop of you blood on it and then it shall be yours." 02 continued as I followed his instructions. 'I'll just prick my finger on this spike.' I thought as I pressed my finger onto the spike.
Immediately it pierced through my skin. "OW!" I said in pain as my finger dripped the drop. 'It almost pierced through my poor finger.' I thought as I tried to move the weapon. As I did though it didn't budge.
"Jeez, how heavy is this?" I asked in fright. "Hmm, using your system of scaling weight then about 100 tons." Hearing this I looked at him in shock. "Then how the f*ck am I gonna lift this!?" I asked in shock.
"Well eventually you might think that this is the lightest weapon you've ever seen but for now dont worry. When you dropped blood onto the weapon it began a contract in which it will become your weapon. By doing this the weapon is reduced for you to that of a feather while it is still physically 100 tons in weight." 02 said as I calmed down a bit.
'So it's like cultivation novels?' I thought as the weapon became redder and redder till finally it looked like it was glowing. "Is it okay?" I asked as it looked like it was about to explode. "Dont worry it's fine." 02 responded with as finally it started to dim.
Eventually it went back to how it was when I first saw it but now it felt much lighter. "Congratulations. Your new weapon is Purifier." 02 said as I pulled it towards me.
