【RAKED BLADE】

Attack Power 5

+1.50 to Mind Taint.

“Wait! Don’t touch it!”

“Huh? Why?” Reaper’s hand had been this close to the hilt.

“I’ve bumped into cursed swords in the Dungeon before...and it looks like this one’s no good either.”

It didn’t get much more disturbing than “+1.50 to Mind Taint.” Warily, I used Dimension to investigate it in greater detail. Like a chemical reaction, that caused it to spew forth a thin but eerie mist.

“Whoa! It’s leaking magic energy outta nowhere! The thing was tricking us!” Reaper sprang away from it like a scared cat.

“Item’s defective. Let’s destroy it.” I readied my blade.

Reaper reluctantly agreed, but not Lastiara. “Wait! Wouldn’t it be, like, kinda cool if we could use a cursed weapon?” This time it was she who was as sparkly eyed as a kid in a candy store.

“Whoa, don’t go there. Don’t even joke about that shit.”

“It happens in every hero tale. The cursed weapon plot. I enjoy it when the protagonist frantically saves the ally who ends up equipping it. Hey, anybody wanna try holding it? It’s okay; I’ll save you!”

“So you wanna cause a problem just so you can be the solution? Yeah, no. Thing goes bye-bye.”

“But, like, what if you hold on to it and then, like, overcome its curse? Then it’d turn into a crazy strong sword, don’t you think?”

“No, because then it’d just be a sword with a rap sheet.”

Much to my chagrin, I did give it a moment’s thought. The fact that I somewhat understood Lastiara’s lust-for-adventure viewpoint disgusted me. I took a sideways swing at the sword, and Lorwen proved far superior as a weapon, snapping the Raked Blade with ease.

“Ugh, what a waste. If only it wasn’t for your bloody Analyze ability!” Lastiara complained.

“Without it, we would’ve been in trouble.”

“Gotta say, though, the fact that you can even see if something’s cursed makes your item appraisal abilities really handy. Your other abilities, you can explain as extensions of dimensional magic, but I can’t even guess what’s behind that one. What’s the formulation of that magic, I wonder?” Lastiara touched my face lightly; she was checking my eyeballs in case she could see something in them.

It had been on my mind this whole time as well. Why did I have this oh-so-convenient menu-sight power to begin with? And for that matter, what was up with the way I was able to use ice and dimensional magic from the jump? Why was I furnished with such a high APT stat? How did all of this work, and what were the reasons? I got the feeling that if I just figured that out, I could solve a ton of other questions on a fundamental level. And I was beginning to see the answer right on the horizon. During my life in this world up to now, I had collected enough information to be able to get there. I did possess the faculties necessary to accurately process that information. However, the answer I was starting to reach was just so.
