Again?

My eyes snapped open as I felt 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 in my hand, then I saw 𝘪𝘵.

A Spear.

I was dumbstruck with sheer wonder as I looked at this beauty.

The spear's shape resembled a cross and the spear itself was around 2 meters long. The spear was covered in Gold as it was engraved with some material I couldn't identify.

As if I knew anything about metals…

Where was I? oh yes, The handle was around 1.5 meters and there was a Ruby on each side of the intersection of the cross. Right below the beautiful blade, which itself was around 0.5 meters, was a crescent moon that pointed upwards, and this intersection also had a Ruby on both side.

So Ornstein was talking about this beauty? Sacred Gear was it?

Sigh~

Now, how do I make it disappear? Do I just have to think abou—!

Just as I was thinking how I could make it disappear, it just disappeared even before I could finish my thoughts.

Sigh~

Releasing another sigh I let my body fall on my bed. Drowsiness soon claimed me as I was very mentally drained…

At least this was a good distraction...

-----x-----

A/N: Just realized italic font wasn't working... So should I keep "this" as Ornstein talking or should I change it?

-----x-----

So I am here again? I looked around with caution but didn't find him.

Where is that guy?

"Come here and sit down"

Startled, I looked towards where he was. Ornstein was sitting on the podium while patting beside him with his right hand.

Does this guy have a fetish to scare people or something?

I walked towards him, though warily, stood in front of him and asked.

"What are you? What is this sacred gear that you mentioned? And what did you mean by this world is not simple?"

He did not answer but still patted the place he was telling me to sit before. I obliged.

"How do you feel after summoning the spear?"

"What do you mean how do I feel? Confused and Scared of course! I am not naïve enough to think that it's only me who can do this, so it scares me that there are other people out there that can do things that does not follow the realm of common sense!

"You mentioned something about people try to recruit me or kill me, What if something like that really happens?"

I poured out everything that I realized after contemplating the night. It was true that I was giddy and somewhat hopeful to payback the scums that— sigh~

"I am glad you realize the graveness of this strange situation you are in, at least from your perspective. But the day you were born was the day you were destined to live this life of chaos. You possess a Sacred Gear. And not some random gear, but me.

"A Sacred Gear, also known as a Gods artifacts, are items that have powerful abilities bestowed upon humans by the God of the Bible."

Ornstein raised his hand and motioned it like he was trying to grasp something as a spear materialized. It was the same spear he called upon before being transported here again.

He continued.

"You were the only compatible soul I stumbled upon while trying to find a host for a thousand years, hence the first possessor."

I somewhat understood what a sacred gear is, but my question keep piling up. So I asked the first thing that came to mind.

"But what is the purpose of these… Godly artifacts?"

"The original purpose… was for humanity to protect itself from other races"

—!

Wait a minute… If God of Bible exist, then what stops the other existences from the Bible to exist?

"…So you are saying that Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils exist?"

I asked.

"Including various mythologies and pantheons"

Ornstein added.

… I am sure that I am not the only sacred gear possessor, but what makes me special that these mythological beings want to kill me? Sacred gears are not common, ok, but I don't believe it's not THAT uncommon…

"So why would other races want to kill me? I am not all that special, right? There must be other sacred gear possessors, right?"

"Calm down, getting desperate won't increase your survival if someone somehow knows you possess me, not like some don't already know"

…what?

"Hey! What do you mean by that? Answer me!"

"Your Cat"

He said as my whole body froze. W-What does he mean by that?

Disregarding my current state, Ornstein continued.

"I sensed magic particles from it. So I could deduct three conclusions; it is someone's familiar sent to keep tabs on you, it never existed in the first place and was just an illusion, or—

"She is a shapeshifter…"

I interjected him as I realized it. No wonder Kuro was so smart for a cat that sometimes I wondered if that was really a cat as a joke, but it seems she turned out to not be a cat anyways… So she's been fooling me for 8 months?

I am not going to lie I am hurt, she was my mental pillar, always there for me through tough times and loneliness…

"You don't have the luxury to be depressed right now. We will start your training here in this mindscape everyday. So for now just rest, collect your thoughts and prepare yourself. Off you go"

Ornstein said as I felt the indescribable force push me away again, but not before he said.

"Be careful of the fox, She is dangerous and knows about you having a Sacred gear."

…what?
