Chapter 8: Sera
In Orlax's room, a young man could be seen drenched in sweat, as if he had just run a full marathon. His breaths were rapid and erratic.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, sat up on the bed, and clutched his chest tightly as if trying to keep something from escaping.
After a few minutes, his breathing calmed, but he sensed a mysterious presence in the room. Reacting swiftly, he drew his sword and turned to his right—only to be slightly stunned by what he saw.
On the same bed lay a girl with blue hair, sleeping on her left side.
Her posture was carefree, as if the entire world held no significance to her.
"Who is she? When did she enter my room? System, do you know?"
[This girl is a spirit that was sealed within the sword. When the user bonded with the sword, the seal was automatically released, and she began forming a body using the user's vitality. Thus, she can be considered the user's child.]
"Since when do you talk?"
[If the system is asked a question it knows the answer to, it will respond automatically.]
"This is new."
Orlax glanced at the sleeping girl on the bed, observing her features—plump cheeks, delicate facial features, wearing a white shirt and a dark blue skirt.
