Chapter-2(Heart of Sword, and Reincarnation)

In a whole white place, with nothing except a desk and two chairs on both sides, with an Old Man sitting on one of them, and a golden orb flickering sometimes sitting(?) in front of the old man.

The Old man looked at the orb and opened his mouth as he spoke, in a kind tone,

"Unfortunately, you died."

But his voice was full of power and reverted everywhere, as though it came from every part of the white place. The golden orb flickered, as a voice came from it, with a sigh,

" 'sigh..' even I know that I would die from that much amount of bombs, so, had I finally died?"

"My child, you just said that you died yourself, so why are you asking me that?"

"Well, then could I meet my family?!"

The orb exclaimed, but the Old man shook his head, as he replied,

"Sorry, but they all had already reincarnated, so you can't meet them."

The orb became silent for some time, before asking,

"Are they together? Are they happily living?"

The Old Man smiled as he answered, calmly,

"Yes, they are together, and are living a happy life, so don't worry about that."

The Orb flickered again, to show that it's happy, and the Old man smiled, and the orb continue, after some time,

"Then, could you kill me?"

The Old man sighed as he answered,

"My Child, you are dead."

"No-no, like completely killing me, as I don't have a single ounce of will to live my life, not even without my memories."

The Old Man showed a sad smile as he asked,

"But, you should try to live, maybe you could find happiness in your next life."

"No, and I have too much Sin on me, for killing this many innocents, even if I knew it was going to happen."

The Old Man shook his head as he replied,

"Your sin is more than what you think of, with that last blast, the nuclear bombs from the world war, placed in underground also blasted, killing more people than you could think off, so, Sin is the last thing you should be worried for."

The Orb suddenly started to flicker continuously, before stopping and a sigh released from it, as it asked with a sad tone,

"Then, why are you trying to help me, aren't you like God or something?"

"You see, I am not a God, nor I am something, I am an Origin Being, one of the strongest beings, and the reason for helping you is because of something which I have done in the past."

"What?"

"I have created a Heart, Heart of Sword, the person who holds this heart has the biggest potential in the swords, more than any being, and you are the chosen holder, and I can't take the heart out of like it's nothing, as you are the first holder, and maybe the last, so I would like you to live, not die."

The Orb became silent, but the light flickering on it clearly indicated that it is thinking about something, and the Old Man patiently waited for the Orb to come out of its thoughts.

After some hours, the Orb stopped flickering, and a sigh released from it, as it spoke,

"So, is that heart the reason why I was able to excel in sword this much?"

The Orb asked this simple question, as it felt that it was way too talented in using a sword, more than anything, and was curious about knowing the reason.

The Old man smiled, as it saw the orb becoming curious, and not asking about killing it anymore, which could be good progress, and answered,

"Yes, or do you think you could kill or use your sword like you used to?"

"No...I guess?"

The Orb answered, unsure of it.

The Old man then asked again,

"So, do you want to reincarnate?"

The Orb again become silent, as it thought and after some time, it asked,

"Could I meet my family again?"

The Old man closed his eyes for a moment, and three threads appeared, and interlock on each other, and then disappeared, and the Old man opened his eyes and answered,

"Yes, as long as you are strong, you could visit them, and I make them connected to each other, so they will be together as a family in every life."

The Orb flickered, showing its happy mood, and spoke,

"Then, I am ready to be reincarnated."

The Old man showed a smile, as he asked,

"Then, do you need some wishes or something?"

"Yes, but first, tell me about the Heart of the Sword that I have."

The Old Man nodded, and answered,

"Sword Heart, my greatest creation, in your last life, your world been a normal one, you weren't able to use it to its full potential, but you have unlocked your intent, but can't project, as you need some type of energy, which your world doesn't have. The Sword Heart makes you able to have near-instant comprehension of any sword technique, and, you could master any type of energy, with enough time, and you could create the sword arts that fit you, without much errors on your first tries, and the rest is something you should found on your own."

The Orb hearing that falls into thoughts, and after some time, it asked,

"Why it is near-instant comprehension, but not instant?"

The Old Man shook his head, as he answered,

"Because it is bad for the long term, in your early years, it would be helpful to you, but as you grew, it would hinder your growth, as you will become too much dependant on it, neglecting your studies and training, which in turn will make you weak, and it would lose the purpose of the heart."

The Orb become silent, as it processed the Old Man's words, and then spoke,

"Yes, I understand, and sorry for asking that, without even thinking."

"Don't worry, as you are still mortal, so your brain is bound to think of shortcuts, and what is the wish?"

The Orb doesn't find the Old Man's word's as rude, why would he, as it indeed think of shortcut as it was asking that.

The Orb then answered, in a somewhat longing tone,

"Then, could you also give me my partner?"

"You mean your sword?"

"Yes."

The Old man nodded, and replied,

"Then, I will modify it according to that world, anything else?"

"Make me an Orphan."

"It could be done, so anything else?"

The Orb thought for a minute, before asking,

"Which world I am going to be reincarnated in?"

The Old Man shook his head, as he said,

"That's for you to found about."

"Then there is nothing else, but could you give me my human form?"

The Old Man nodded, and the Orb soon took the place of a handsome man, one can't believe is a human, the man stood up, and looked towards the Old Man and bowed his head, as he said, in a grateful tone,

"Thank you, for helping my family, and giving me a chance to meet with them again."

The Old Man stood up and walked towards the man, and lifted him, as he patted his shoulders, and said, in a kind tone,

"Don't worry, my child, and live your life freely."

Hearing that, the man lost his consciousness and vanished, and the Old Man remained, went back to his seat, and a sigh released his mouth, as he spoke,

"I hope you live a happy life this time, you have my blessings, but, never let yourself fall under any situation."

After that, Cracks appeared in the space, and the Old man vanished, along with the table and Chair, the whole space got covered in the cracks, and dissolved in black space.

Meantime, In a world filled with many creatures, in an Orphanage, a boy, around five years opened his eyes, as he looked around, and stood up, and sat on the bed, and spoke,

"So, the Old Man let me have my memories at the age of four, I think that's good..."

Slowly, memories started to pour in the boy's head, as he closed his eyes and go through all that information, and after some time, the boy opened his eyes, and looked at his hands, as he spoke,

"I see, so my name is Reo, and, from the looks of it, I was already a sword manic, as this body has started sword training at the age of three, and I am in an Orphanage, which means, I have no need to worry but wait.... I think today is the day that some people are coming to adopt children, I better be careful, as this is a magical world, and I have no strength right now, which could be harmful."

Saying that the boy, Reo, closed his eyes, as he thought of resting, as having four years of information, and going through it in several minutes tired him mentally.
