Rise of the Strongest Sword Magician

Chapter 3: Magic Sword Lightning Edge

As Kulas stepped out of the training area, the bustling streets of Everwing City greeted him with a sense of vibrancy. The city's energy was contagious, invigorating his spirit for the adventures that lay ahead. The training area, a place of honing his magical skills, had prepared him well for the challenges to come. Still at level 1, he was acutely aware of the arduous journey that lay ahead to reach even higher levels in the realm of Another World.

As he meandered through the city, lost in thought, a figure caught his eye. An NPC, cloaked in humble attire, stood near a bulletin board. Approaching cautiously, Kulas listened as the NPC explained a simple yet essential task. The quest was straightforward: defeat 20 level 1 redboars and collect their meat as proof of the deed.

With a nod of determination, Kulas accepted the quest, the digital quest log displaying the requirements and rewards. The redboars were known to inhabit a forested area not far from the city, their level 1 status indicating that even these seemingly harmless creatures posed a challenge to low-level adventurers.

Kulas ventured into the forest, his senses heightened as he scanned the surroundings for any sign of movement. It didn't take long before he spotted the first redboar, a stout creature with fiery eyes. His heart raced as he approached, staff in hand, ready to engage in his first real battle.

The battle was a test of both skill and strategy. Kulas invoked his elemental magic, conjuring flames that danced around his staff before unleashing them upon the redboar. The creature retaliated with swipes of its tusks, each clash sending sparks flying. Kulas's health points (HP) dwindled, but his resolve remained unshaken.

With precise movements and a keen understanding of the redboar's patterns, Kulas emerged victorious. As the redboar fell, it disintegrated into a burst of light, leaving behind its meat and a rewarding 10 experience points (EXP). Kulas's spirits lifted as the experience bar in his interface increased by increments of 10.

Battle by battle, Kulas engaged the redboars, the thrill of combat mingling with the satisfaction of every victory. Each defeated redboar brought him closer to his goal of 200 EXP, the requirement for leveling up to level 2. The forest echoed with the sounds of battle as Kulas continued to hone his skills, his focus unwavering.

As he neared the count of 20 redboars defeated, Kulas's steps led him deeper into the forest. The undergrowth grew thicker, the shadows darker. In the heart of this wilderness, he faced his final opponent, the 20th redboar. With his magic and determination, Kulas triumphed once more, watching the creature dissolve into light.

Yet, as the light subsided, Kulas's eyes widened in awe. Before him lay a chest, concealed amidst the foliage. Excitement tingled in his veins as he opened the chest, revealing a single item within. The interface displayed the name of the item in radiant letters: "Lightning Edge (Magic Sword)."

Kulas's heart raced as he beheld the sword, its hilt crackling with energy. The interface presented him with its stats:

•Lightning Edge (Magic Sword)

•Level 1

•Attack: +15

•Magic Enhancement: +10

•Experience to Next Level: 50

With a sense of wonder, Kulas realized that the sword had its own potential for growth, its level increasing in tandem with his own. A surge of gratitude washed over him as he cradled the sword in his hands, its power coursing through his veins.
