"Hold up. No trial? No ghost of the ancient hero? No goddess talking to me? Just, I take the sword and that's it? That's pretty underwhelming."
Kai was pretty disappointed that nothing interesting happened to him. He didn't even feel stronger with the sword in his hand, and he could feel it pulsing with mana. Maybe the sword was just powerful on its own. He didn't know, nor did he care.
But just when he was about to leave, a voice called out to him.
"That's interesting."
"Huh?" Turning around, Kai saw a golden silhouette of what looked to be a person. No face, no human features. Just a golden spirit looking thing.
"And you are?" Kai asked
"Rolimont, the first Hero." He responded. "But this is strange. No one is supposed to be able to wield my sword unless they have been given permission by the goddess Gracia."
"Really? Then what about the heroes that came after you? Weren't they blessed by her?"
