" How may I help you" The beautiful onee-san asked

" I want it to be a full body cloak in black with Blood red clouds and white border on the clouds as well as cloak. And I want to add Magic enhancement" James said.
" OK the first part will be done and it's could be customized for 2 more or less sizes with Magic enhancement and that's on House for such a cute child. And what do you want for the Other Magical enhancement" She asked.
" Can you make it that I can wear it till 8 yrs of age at maximum and for the Magical enhancement, I want it to double the attack of all my elements." James replied.
" Size isn't the problem but the enhancement is as there are very few who can do it but we have one who can add these effect but the downside being you will get double the damage with the elements you don't have" She said
" No problem with that and Here's the advance payment. Till when will it be ready to take away. " James asked.
"You can take it within 5 days." She replied and after some minor formalities he went outside the shop.
Later he went towards Weapon district. There he checked weapons from each and every weapons and after a bit of searching he came in front of a narrow alley.
After pa.s.sing the alley he came in front of an old and ragged weapon shop. He entered the shop and checked around various weapons.
Each and every weapon in here was of better quality than most of the shops' best weapons.
While he was searching for a suitable weapon for himself he came in front of a blocked section and when he saw through it there was only one sword. Black in colour with red linings while unsheathed whereas it's Sheath was platinum in colour. It looked like any traditional Katana but it was
Just when he was about to reach for that sword his hand was held tightly by another big hand and he heard, " what are you doing kid? can't you see the sign that it's off limits." the one who stopped him was a big middle aged man with body like that of body builders of his previous world.
" Sorry sorry I didn't focussed on that hahaha"
James said as he laughed awkwardly.
" Haaah. No worries kid but don't go touching things as dangerous as this as this sword took many lives including all of it's wielders"
The owner said.
" But how is it possible for such a thing to happen? How can a sword take it's wielders life " James questioned.
" It's a long story" He said," I have a lot of time"
James replied.
" OK. The story of this sword goes way back in the time. This sword was excavated around 1000 years ago from one of the ancient ruins and it was said at that time that this sword is more than 5000 years old.
1000 yrs ago beast hordes were very common
and it was very difficult for humanity to fend off against them and then one person came who was able to wield this sword which no one could even lift off from the ground.
He defeated many hordes with its sister sword as they were able to gain land for humanity by defeating beasts.
But in the end this sword took that hero's life"
James interjected by saying, " What was the name of that hero? How did this sword took his life."
The owner said, " The name of that hero is long lost in the history with Time but we only know that this sword's name was Muramasa and he also said that he wasn't accepted by the sword. These were his last words recorded in our family. Even it's abilities are an unknown.
After that many came to become it's wielder but when they touched the sword that all died and were made dust and bones in mere seconds."
Again James interjected," Then how do you have this sword"
"I am coming to that, after the hero died this sword remained in our family and the hero gifted us the ability to wield this sword at the cost of our lives and thus it remained with us"
' He is telling a lie's James thought as a human cannot pa.s.s on any ability like that and that owner was keeping the information about that with himself.
"But this sword was stolen around 5 generations back. I don't know how but someone did it though he died not long after.
And my Grandfather brought this sword back to our family"
After hearing all that James could figure out that most of it was truth but a small part was a complete lie as if it was given to them for safe keeping then what is the sword doing in the shop than a chamber or any secret place in his family.
" I would like to buy this one" James suddenly said
"Oye didn't you hear what I said. You would die after wielding this demon." The owner insisted to not take the sword but James thought of the style which a famous swordsman from an anime did to gain trust of a cursed sword.
" Let's see if you are as what they say" James took the sword by it's handle and felt a very strange sensation before using his own force on it and then he threw it in the air as James forwarded his arm in that direction.
The sword swirled in circles and was falling towards his arm but at the right time it again swirled above his arm and was embedded in the floor.
" Hahaha looks like you were wrong Ossan. This sword ain't thirsty enough to kill it's own wielder." James said while laughing.
Whereas The owner was in deep thoughts and suddenly he said, " I wasn't telling the whole truth earlier"
" I know" James replied surprising the owner and then the owner said
" Hahaha I won't ask how. And as for the truth.
The hero gave us this sword for safekeeping till someone who could become it's master comes and then to give this sword to that person. And as for the ability part, There is no such thing, he gave us the gloves he used at that time to fight and told us that these gloves could exchange our life force with the energy through which this sword could be wielded for extended times.
I didn't told you about this earlier as this sword was stolen with those gloves as the family head of that time told him the whole truth except the life exchanging part and this resulted in this sword being stolen and took my Grandfather's life to take it back"
" Take it before my mood changes." He again said and James held the sword again before sheathing it.
" Now it is rightfully yours and use it for justice and not for malice or destruction as you would be sludging the name of the hero as well as our family and I would myself kill you and take this sword back." He said
" You don't need to worry as nothing as such will happen cause I would bring peace with his help." James said before thanking the owner again and taking the sword with him as he went towards his house.
