Dark Days

Tsurugi's mind flashes back to his past. His mind flashed back to a dark time, a time where there was nothing that he had because there was nothing to have. 

He had grown up at around the start of the civil war. The war was a fight between the High King of Skypiea and his Knights against the coup led by Geass

First serving in the army to fight for The High King of Skypiea but eventually leaving to join the coalition against him once witnessing his true brutality. Although it was what led Tsurugi to even have his fixation with strength and watching the strong fight.

Tsurugi then joined the battle against the High King of Skypiea but in his eyes this coalition wasn't much better either, maybe even worse. He wrote in his journal that the High King of Skypiea's 7 top Knights were physical manifestations of the "7 Sins".

Warrior turned Traitor turned Vagabond, Tsurugi had become bored. He wanted to fight and kill because it was all he knew, and so he picked up an assassination job. He'd be tasked with killing people in return for money.

It was this job which forced him to travel from city to city, and pick up much of the knowledge that he wrote into his journal. He wrote:

 " There are many people in this world even stronger than the Mad Prince, like the Blood King of Hell and the Fallen Angel, I cannot wait to see them eventually if I'm ever tasked with assassinating them"

To him these were just names, he had no clue on whether or not they were real people or if their existence was simply conjecture.

"Hey Rugi, Hey, Hey" Infinity says.

Tsurugi was so lost in his thought that he almost missed Sway explaining how ego summoning works to infinity. Infinity says " Listen to him nigga he's about to cook"

Sway says, "Well ego summoning is basically th-" but Plotify cuts in and exclaims

 "Ego summonings are more common than one may think and are used for hundreds of purposes, if you need a sword and you dont have one you may use ego summoning to create a replica made through your ego 🤓🤓🤓

Ego Summonings typically require paper, chants or a blood offering however those with high refinement can summon things with a simple hand sign! 🤓🤓

Those who have extremely high refinement can even summon the dead or the sentient creatures created by the techniques of others! BUT these typically require the usage of a scroll type object to be used however in Sways case, his ego ability let's him summon any scroll-summoning that he's seen before, instantly! 🤓"

Sway says "But for those type of summons I need extensive knowledge on the subject that's being summoned, through either reading the scroll or by engaging in combat with sentient creatures that I summon"

Plotify, chimes in to say, "Also! 🤓,summonings are like an inventory so those who focus on summons have weaker physicals! This is because their Ego is focused on keeping their inventory as when a Summoner dies his summons are released! 🤓🤓."

Infinity, bored, says "Anyways, I convinced these two to join us, we're gonna go defeat Jester nigga"

Tsurugi smiles and says "Fine by me"
