Sword in a Cultivation World

Wow.

Sammy saved my life, and then.. I DIE

At least I used my life to pay off my debt to him

Hey.. where am I anyway?!

I try to look around, but it seems like I'm confined since I can't move my body at all. All around me is a empty darkness except in front where there is a huge blinding light. Is this what they mean when they say don't walk towards the light!?

Well, I'm just gonna sit here! I can't move anyways but I know that I'm not gonna go towards that light. I have so much to do! Like eat good food, and sleep in my nice bed, drink with my friends. No way am I gonna die here.

...

...

...

Hello!?! I've been here for hours! Well, it's not like I can tell but I've been here for a really long time! *GASP* WHAT IF IM ALREADY DEAD! I cry in despair. It seems the only thing to do is walk towards the light.

I still don't trust it, so I wait a little while longer in hesitation before moving on. Or at least, trying to move on. Hey! I can't move! I try to break my shackles as I look downwards only to realize.. I don't have a body!

I don't even see anything down there! Wait. If I have no body, then how can I think or be shackled?

It must be like in those novels I've read in my spare time... hmm yes! I'm mist be getting reincarnated!

Perhaps I can go to the past with my advanced knowledge, or maybe go to cultivation world with a secret technique or system. My bet is on a fantasy world with levels and mana and stuff! Ah ha! Come on kindly old god! Tell me about how you've made a mistake in killing me and want to repay me!

[System "Sword Life" has determined that host is need of assistance in the reincarnation process.]

[Releasing Soul Shackles...] [Process Complete]

Wha? Who? Ohh, I get it. No need to visit me face to face huh? Ok, that's fine. What is the "Sword Life" system anyways? Is it a system that will let me level up with a sword? I can work with that! Let's do this!

[Mission has been activated]

[Reincarnate]

[ Host has died, and needs to reincarnate into his assigned world. Host has shown inability to reincarnate by himself and requires the system to issue a mission.]

[Rewards: Reincarnate in new world

Failure: Permanent Soul Death]

What. I can't even move! How am I gonna reincarnate!?!

[Detecting Soul Origin of Host...]

[Determined that Host originates from Farm world #523]

[Forcefully Propelling Hosts Soul...]

AAAHHHH! I felt a pain like no other as I felt myself being pushed into the blinding light. Almost seamlessly I emerged. I was in the sky of another world! It seems like this world indeed has supernatural powers.. but what did the System mean by "Farm world"!?!

Before I had more time to ponder this, I felt myself plummeting into what looked like a shop with a blacksmith next to it. His apprentice had just finished a sword, and honestly it looks pretty trashy even to my civilian eye. In contrast was that stunning sword in the blacksmiths hand! It even seemed to be glowing with a red luster!

As I fell, I knew that I was headed towards the smith. Ha ha! This is perfect! With my Sword life system, and with a blacksmith as family I should be able to get as many swords as I need!

Perhaps the system gives me sword techniques, or uses sword proficiency to cultivate/level up or maybe even I have to absorb the sword!

But it doesn't matter! I've already won before I'm born! That's right, I can already see my future body in a woman's embrace. Hello baby! Sorry about taking your body! My soul is quickly approaching the Smith, but something seems to be off. It looks like I'm headed towards that apprentice. Well, that's ok too since someone training to be a craftsman can be said to have a future as well.

I'm accept my new body as I fly towards the apprentice and just before I sink into my new body.. I get stuck in the sword!

Uh.. system please fix this! I'm trapped inside this piece of metal scrap! Let me quickly enter my new body please!

[Host has entered new body]

WHAT! No way! I refuse to accept this! 0/5 stars for whoever is in charge of reincarnation! I demand a refund!

I continue screaming and shouting every curse I remember before I break down into non-existent tears. Around an hour later I recover.

[Host has gained skill: [Mental Fortitude]

I burst into "tears" again but this time, it seems to be easier to recover.

[Host has leveled up skill [Mental Fortitude] to Lv.2/10]

Ok. Perhaps the shock from dying and reincarnating has taken It's toll on me, but I'm ok now! I even have these skills to show for it! I've read enough novels to know what's going on here!

I'm gonna be the strongest even if I am a sword for now!

[Hosts permanent body is this sword]

...

..

.

OK. My [Mental Fortitude] comes into play as I manage to keep myself from crying once more.

At the very least I have a system and a long "lifespan" as an inanimate object so I have something to work with.

Next order of business is finding out what going in around me. I try to listen, and it seems to work even though I have no body. The blacksmith speaks to my creator "Luke, that is the worst sword you've made yet, throw it into the streets since it probably isn't even salvageable at this point"

At this, my creator seems to sadly walk away and then chucks me onto the street. At this point, even my new skill can't stop me from crying!
