Virtual Sword God!

Chapter 43: My body

Lucas readied his katana blade. It was so sharp that with enough strength, it would be able to cut through most things. Especially a small lock like this.

Lucas swung his blade and the lock fell to the ground. When he opened the doors, he was surprised to see it was just a regular storage room.

It was full of all sorts of different things but mainly it contained packages and weapons. As Lucas went looking around the room, he could see that a lot of the packages were from Goldware corp.

An odd thought came to his mind. The house already contained a storage room, what was the need to have a second one that was locked up and kept away. His father had always been a private person. The only thing he ever talked about with Lucas was to do with VSW.

As soon as Lucas had entered the storage room the voice seemed to stop calling out to him.

"Hello, where are you? Are you still there?"

There was no answer from the voice but Lucas was still interested in the storage room. As he walked around, he spotted something that drew his attention. In the back of the storage room, there was a coffin-like box. For some reason, the box was drawing him in closer.

When he finally reached the box, he realised that it actually was a coffin. Lucas looked around the coffin to see if there were any signs of it saying who was inside. He didn't want to disturb the dead, who knows what would happen if he did.

As he looked around the wooden box, he noticed some writing near the bottom. Lucas wiped the dust away and he could see the logo and words written on it. Goldware Corp.

Lucas was unaware of Goldware being in the coffin making business. They had only invested in VR technology and Games to his knowledge. But these days companies had shares in all sorts of things.

Lucas started to walk away from the coffin but as he did it seemed something was calling him to come back. Lucas decided there was no harm in taking a peep. If it was a dead body, he would just quickly close the lid and pray.

Lucas started to shift the lid of the coffin but it was too heavy. Lucas realised he needed to give it a big push, so he did. In doing so the coffin Lid shoved right off and fell to the floor.

A cloud of dust rose up and Lucas began to cough as he inhaled the dust. As the dust settled, eventually he could see what laid inside. It wasn't a body like Lucas had expected.

Instead, it was a scythe. The scythe blade was made out of purple metal that Lucas had never seen before. The handle was a long solid pole which was obsidian black.

"It's beautiful," Lucas said.

Lucas thought to himself that the scythe looked oddly familiar to him, then it hit him. The reason why it felt familiar. He had seen the exact same type of scythe just a few moments ago. As he was browsing the warriors on VSW he saw one holding this exact weapon. It was the warrior known as Mortem.

As Lucas went in to take a closer look at the scythe, he noticed something on the handle. There was carving on it that looked like a snake. As Lucas brushed his hand over the carving, it began to glow a bright purple colour.

As the light got brighter Lucas stepped a few feet black. The whole scythe began to glow then suddenly, a beautiful woman seemed to appear from the scythe. The women had long black hair. She was wearing an armour set that showed off her curves and long legs. While wearing a hooded black robe.

Lucas was stunned, a sprit had just appeared out of the weapon but not just any spirit. Lucas recognised that the spirit looked almost identical to the warrior in VSW he was looking at just a moment ago.

VSW was multi-gendered, meaning if you selected a female character but was a male playing, it would turn you into a male version of that character but every character had a base design that they advertised on their website.

And what Lucas was looking at right now was an exact replica of her.

"Thank you for finally freeing me." The women said.

Lucas was too shocked to say anything back to her.

Mortem started to swirl around the boy and look him up and down.

"Your body seems strong; I will be borrowing it from you."

A white mist started to spread and gather around Lucas. The mist then slowly started to enter his body, as it did, his body ended up collapsing on the floor.

When Lucas opened his eyes, he was in a place he had never seen before. The sky was a dark purple, the ground had no sign of life and there wasn't anything else for miles. All he could see was the female warrior who stood in front of him.

"Where are we, tell me where we are Mortem!" Lucas shouted.

"This is a part of my mind, you see I've been trapped in here for far too long, waiting for someone to come along who could break the seal. And finally, you came along."

"If I helped you, then why did you bring me here?"

"Do I really need to answer, my body was lost long ago and I need a new one. It's now your turn to be trapped here."

"But you said you'd help me?"

"Did your parents never teach you that people lie."

Mortem then started spinning her death scythe around and dashed forward towards Lucas.

Lucas looked down and realised that his sword was gone. Wherever he was, he was currently no longer in his mansion.

As Mortem got closer Lucas began to panic. He closed his eyes and thought about the first thing that came into his mind.

Then when he opened his eyes again, he could see the scythe coming down on his head. He lifted his hands out of instinct to block.

*Klang

The sound of two metal objects hitting each other was heard. Lucas could see his katana blade in his hand.

"I won't die so easy!" Lucas shouted.
