After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!

[Congratulations on completing the quest!]

[As a reward, you will be given one weapon of your choice. Choose wisely.]

[Shattering Shield]

[Mace of Domination]

[Unknown Sword]

[Great Bow]

[Sazex's Dagger]

[Dark Stiletto]

[Staff of the Last War]

[Wooden stick]

A list of quite a variety of weapons appeared in front of Rain.

He ran his eyes over them all. There were some names that immediately caught his attention, standing out among the rest.

And one of them was the latest reward, the Wooden Stick.

The mere fact that it found itself among the high-end A-rank weapons was amazing.

This interested Rain greatly, because he knew that sometimes the most unremarkable things turned out to be the most powerful.

Who knows how many secrets these weapons held?

Not wanting to put off unraveling this secret, Rain opened the item description.

[Wooden stick]

[Stick. Made of wood. It's easy to swing with one hand.]

Rain reread it several times, hoping to find some hint of hidden meaning. But no matter how many times he tried to read between the lines, the conclusion remained the same.

'Looks like it really is just a stick...'

He hesitated to pick it just to test his theory, because he had a hunch that it would actually turn out to be a simple piece of wood...

So he moved on to the next weapon. Surprisingly, it was a name he had seen before. Once, an item with a similar name had helped him a lot in the rift battle.

[Sazex's Dagger]

[Capable of accumulating elemental damage that the wielder receives, then releasing it at will. Also adds elemental damage to each attack, an element that depends on what the wielder was last attacked with.]

Like the past subject by that name, it had some pretty good practical applications.

Next came another unusual weapon.

[Unknown Sword]

To be honest, Rain didn't have much hope after the Wooden Stick and had already expected the same situation, but something else met him here.

[Indestructible &%# ?? ##&? ##&&#%#...]

It seemed that even the system couldn't recognize something about it.

'So the "Unknown" in its name is not a figure of speech, but a direct indication that nothing is known about it.'

Rain lingered on that description, trying to make sense of its words.

They seemed vaguely familiar, but every time he was ready to understand them, their true meaning eluded him, and the letters became illegible, as if badly damaged, which soon gave him a headache.

Dismissing the idea of reading it, he moved on to other options for his selection.

[Dark Stiletto]

[Has a high affinity for darkness. Each time it hits an enemy, it absorbs a piece of their soul. The more souls the blade absorbs, the sharper it will be.]

[Satiety Status: 0/100]

[Mace of Domination]

[Your victories over your opponents allow the weapon to strengthen itself and evolve.]

[Evolution Status: 0/500]

[Staff of the Last War]

[Can increase and decrease in size and take the shape of any weapon at the owner's will.]

Unlike before, the Great Bow and Shattering Shield had no special properties at all and were simply strong and durable weapons, allowing you to not worry about lack of firepower or defense in battle.

Finished examining all the options given to him, Rain thought for a moment.

Of all of these, the Unknown Sword was the weapon that suited him best and that he had the most experience with.

'Am I going to have to take a chance and choose this?'

The idea of taking a weapon you knew nothing about seemed wild, but part of him didn't want to let it go.

After a few seconds, he shook his head and made a decision.

While he couldn't test all these weapons in combat to see what they were capable of, there was another way to test the objective value of these items.

Rain used his consciousness to enter the system store. Here, according to the system, was everything he could think of, so knowing the name or appearance of an item, he could always find it here and find out its price.

Of course, the price was a subjective assessment of the system, but he didn't question it much, as in his experience it reflected the item's power and potential quite well.

His search didn't take long and in less than a minute he was done with it. In the end, all of the A-rank weapons that the system provided him as quest rewards had prices in the range of 20,000 to 55,000 steal points.

He even found a Wooden Stick there and confirmed that the system was just messing with him by adding it to the selection, since it was worth 10 points and had nothing special.

As for the Unknown Sword... it was here too. Its price wasn't the highest among all the weapons, around 50,000 SP, but what really surprised Rain was that in addition to the steal points, it had another condition of acquisition. And it was also unknown.

[Unknown Sword]

[50,000 SP, ???]

To fulfill a condition he didn't even know sounded like madness.

Of course, there was always someone he could vent his frustration on.

'Nari, what the hell is this? Didn't you say that all I needed were steal points?''

After a while, a system voice sounded, which seemed to have a tinge of guilt in it.

[.....well, it would be fair to call it a special occasion]

Although the system's response was annoying, it confirmed that his decision to choose this weapon was the right one. After all, how else would he be able to obtain a weapon whose condition of purchase he didn't even know?

Once Rain realized this, he no longer hesitated.

'I choose the Unknown Sword.'

Reacting to his thoughts, the selection window disappeared and at the same time a new item appeared in his system space. He immediately summoned it into his hand.

It was a single-edged sword that was slightly curved. It had a long blade that looked incredibly sharp, and a long hilt that allowed it to be held with one or two hands.

The material the sword was made of was not familiar to him and he doubted there was anyone who knew it. The entire sword was a deep black obsidian color that irrevocably devoured all light falling on it, and a natural coldness emanated from its surface.

The sword had none of the ornamentation or eye-catching details you would normally expect from an expensive weapon. It seemed simple, quiet... and deadly.

It was exactly what you'd expect from a weapon whose primary purpose is to kill.

Rain split the air with it a few times and smiled.

The first impression was a good one.

Its weight wasn't too much to be used with one hand, but enough to easily cut down everything in its path.

The sword, as if forged for him, was very comfortable in his hands, and its weight was not much different from his past swords, so it didn't take him long to get used to it, and the sword almost immediately began to feel like an extension of his hand.

"Perfect."

Raising the estimation of his new weapon in his mind even higher, Rain used his recently acquired gravity control ability to make the sword fly into the air. But it was here that he ran into a problem.
