Xander was hailed as The Swordmaster on earth. When it came to blades, he held no equal. It didn't mater what category or how experienced his opponent was. He was just better, and none could deny it.

Yet all it took was a bullet to end his life.

All that hard work, all that talent. All of it gone because of an idiot with a gun.

So Xander was naturally indignant against the reality of it. What was the point, then? What was the purpose of achieving such mastery if his life could be snuffed out so easily? His final thoughts were filled with resentment and regret.

And so he closed his eyes.

Only to reopen them again. But not in a hospital. But in an entirely new world, filled with magic and mages. Xander thought that in a place like this, his dream of making swordplay relevant would be possible. But he was dismayed to learn that not only had the body he transmigrated to been incredibly weak and untalented, but the act of swordfighting was heavily looked down upon. Made obsolete by mages who chanted powerful spells and unleashed them from a distance

Yet on the verge of losing hope, he discovered something. This world, it's understanding of swordfighting wasn't just rudimentary. It was PATHETIC!

Elite knights only knew how to swing harder and faster! There was no technique! No order!

Offended, Xander made to use a blade. Even if the path was dead, he would not allow something so sacred to him be insulted so thoroughly.

However, in the throes of his swordplay, he made a discovery, one that would shake the very foundations of the world as everyone knew it.

Swordfighting wasn't obsolete. No, it was simply unexplored! 

And Xander, with his adequate knowledge on how to wield a blade realized...

"The usage of swords with proper technique, is a form of magic in itself."

And so begins the story of a man who decided to turn the entire world of magic on its head, with a Blade.

Sparrow didn't even consider probing the ant. She used Overclocking without any hesitation and rushed at it, her body leaving blue afterimages as she ran circles around the creature to look for an opening.


However, she very quickly discovered a problem.


It wasn't that it had an airtight defense. Rather...


'It's not defending at all. No... it's watching me.' The thought made her feel a deep sense of discomfort. Those bug-like eyes simply followed her movements without any indication of action.


It sort of reminded her of when she fought Xander...


Gritting her teeth, she finally moved in to attack.


Appearing in a blindspot, she slashed at the ant with both of her swords, but once again, it simply raised one of its bladed limbs and caught the attack, not showing even the slightest indication of having received any sort of shock or impact.
