I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (Web Novel)

2 I Can Fly

Now, first let’s check the surrounding area first .

First, I’m in what appears look like an old ruin . Without a roof in the vast empty plain, I stand alone . If it’s seen from a distance, it might be mistaken for a larger water fountain .

As for me, the pedestal was set in the center, with this treasured sword stuck into it . What about that? Is it legendary sword that is given to those that reach it? Since, the surroundings don’t feel like a dungeon .

Because of the pedestal it’s not possible to turn around, I can’t see anything behind me . But, as far as the eye can see, there weren’t any tall trees, just bushes and shrubs . If I look closely, there’s an occasional shadow . I wonder if it’s an animal .

『Not a single person to be found . 』

I can’t move myself?

Wait a second, if I’m not mistaken, there should be a telekinetic skill . Maybe, I can move with it?

『Mun . 』

Concentrate . Telekinesis Telekinesis .

Suddenly, I think I felt my body get lighter . There’s a feeling that the sword slightly separated from the pedestal . The most important thing, is to imagine the sword flying through the air .

『Ooo! I floated!』

If I can imagine it, it’s easy . After I escaped the pedestal, I could move free through the air .

『I can fly!』

[T/N: This is said in Engrish . Hence the title . ]

There isn’t much speed, but it’s enough for now . I became clear that I could move on my own .

I tried moving around the area near the pedestal . As before, it looks like a ruin . I think the bricks are made of light brown blocks . Exposed to wind and rain for many years, the color has darkened, and moss covers patches here and there .

The area’s diameter is 20 meters across .

『Who on Earth built this . I feel like it’s the person who made me… … 』

This is very worn out, I wonder if I was also left here for so long?

Even if I said sword reincarnation, a sword can’t be made from nothing . It should be expected that somebody made my body . Well, if my body didn’t transform into a sword, but .

The maker would be the first person to use me, unless the producer is dead then the possibility of that disappears .

But my body, the sword, is free of moss and dust . It’s just like someone just put me here only yesterday . I was thinking about various things while observing my surroundings, when a feeling of unease ran through my body .

『…… Huh?』

Somehow, tired… … The sensation of losing all my strength attacks the sword .

And, I fell .

『Seriously?』

I try to use telekinesis desperately, but it doesn’t react at all . Height, I estimated 10 meters .

『Float! Please float!』

But, struggling was useless as I hit the ground with all of my might .

Gaii~i~i~in! called a great resounding metal sound .

『Eee… … Isn’t it broken somewhere? Some cracks or』

I hurriedly looked at the status of my body, but everything seemed fine . Also, my body doesn’t feel strange anywhere . To fall from that height and end up fine, this might be an amazing sword after all .

『But, why did I fall?』

A feeling like fatigue came to be, and I couldn’t use telekinesis anymore .

In order to find the reason, I check my status .

I immediately understood the reason .

『You no longer possess any magic . 』

It was Possessed Magic: 0/200 . Probably, when using telekinesis, magic will be continually drained . The fatigue is probably caused by this . Even when the magic is cut off, my saving grace must be that we don’t lose consciousness .

『I didn’t fly for 5 minutes . It was probably around 3 minutes . 』

For a moment I waited on the stone road . Then, my magic recovered slightly . It appears that it restores itself 1 per 1 minute . I restored it to 60 after waiting for an hour, and was able to use telekinesis once more .

『Alright, I float . 』

I don’t seem to have any problems . I checked my status as it is . My magic is decreasing rather intensely .

『While I use telekinesis, the consumption is 1 per 1 second? Then, after calculations it’s about 200 for 3 minutes . 』

Also it’s unbearable to be slammed into the ground . I, before I lost all my magic, returned to the pedestal in a hurry . After I am embedded in the pedestal, it’s strangely calming .

『Fuu . Would I be able to return to this . 』

But, I was unskilled at movement and I understood that it would be dangerous . For a little while, I’ll avoid leaving the pedestal’s perimeter, and observe the plain .

When looking at the plain, a variety of creatures can be seen . Like the savannahs of Earth, contrary to my expectations it wasn’t only mammals, there was something that looked exactly like a bug, and some guys without a definite shape .

For example, the ant-like thing I saw earlier had the shadow the size of a small dog .

The sword was fine . At least, it looks to me like there’s no need to attack .

『Again, this isn’t Earth . 』

Moreover, if I look in the distance, there were shadows of even larger beasts . Although it’s only a rough eye measurement, it looks to be around 10 meters . At least, I think it’s that big .

『Is it the so-called evil beasts?』

I saw them, and there was 1 that worried me .

『With such a evil beast here, would it be possible for a human to reach here?』
