Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Crazy Old Man Who only knows about Swords

3rd Person POV

Somewhere In the Middle of the frozen mountains in the Himalayas also known as the third largest deposit of ice and snow in the whole earth an old bald man with a buff body can be seen sitting cross-legged in the snow with a black claymore on his lap

The old man is breathing but he is almost dead, his breath didn't have a misty white color, and it looks like he was breathing in normal weather, the old man opened his eyes and he stood up making the snow on his head and body fall on the ground

"this year will be my last I can sense that my life span is going to end soon, but my swordsmanship didn't improve at all after 2 years of hellish training," The old man said as he looked at his sword on his hand

It's been 99 years since he started training his swordsmanship, fencing, kendo, medieval sword fighting, theatrical sword fighting, Kenjutsu, Iaido, and every fighting style that uses swords he practiced them all, he even practiced blacksmithing to create the perfect blade that he named Musashi

And now after practicing for all his life he encountered his 1st bottleneck in his swordsmanship, For the past 99 years, his swordsmanship cultivation is very smooth and he made 6 levels of it

The first level is the Sword Practitioner level, where more than 80% of the user of the sword is here in this level, the second level is when you mastered a self and your sword which is the swordsman Level, The next level is when you finally found the rhythm of the sword and you can through steel like it was a paper which is he called the Sword Master Realm, the 4th level is when you finally form your sword intent and you can launch flying attacks in the air by swinging your sword which he called the Sword Grand Master Realm, swordsmanship at this level are very very low on the number in the whole world there are only 2 people the old man knows that on this level of swordsmanship, the next level and the one where the old man is currently stuck is called the Sword Sovereign Realm, in this realm the whole body of the swordsman is tempered to the maximum using his sword intent, his body is a sword, and one can summon phantom-like swords using his sword ki

The old man sighed as he looked at the land of full snow with sadness as he knows that his swordsmanship has reached its limits

"If I can only have a longer life span I can reach the apex of swordsmanship," he said with sadness in his old voice

The old man began to walk down the mountains where a small village is located when he arrived there a lot of people is looking at him weirdly

"Here he comes the old man who became crazy, his mind is just full of swords," one of the villagers said and the others starts to laugh at him

Drake paid them no heed, as he walked straight to his small cottage and closed his door

Inside his small house is a bed a small fireplace and a lot of cooking utensils, despite his obsession with swords and swordsmanship he has other hobbies that he developed in his long life which are cooking and concocting pills and medicines, that's why he reached his age even though he was living in the modern times where the air is polluted

He started the fire and boiled some water as he started to make some tea, he took out 4 glasses and placed them on the small table that he had like he was waiting for someone to arrive at his house

After the water boiled and he was done making the tea a knock can be heard on his door

"Master Drake, can we come in" A soft voice of a woman can be heard outside the door

"Enter," Drake said as he poured down some tea into the glasses

3 people entered the house, 2 of them are middle-aged men wearing a suit while the other is a teenage girl that is wearing winter clothes

"Master your home is too far and the weather here is too cold you should move to another place after this" the teenage girl pouted as she said then she sat near the table

"Mary doesn't tell our master what to do, in the first place your body is weak that's why you need to wear those clothes," one of the middle-aged men said

"Togusa, Mary stop quarreling, we're here because master called us for the first time after 5 years so behave yourself," the middle-aged man with long hair said while smiling he bowed to drake and he sat beside him

"Drink your teas, it been a long and cold journey for you guys," Drake said while smiling

The four of them happily talked with each other and after drinking some tea, drake stood up and took 3 boxes under his bed

"Here take these swords, this will be my farewell gift for you guys," he said with a smile, the three of them are shocked and full of happiness but after a while, the middle-aged man with long hair started crying

When the other two processed what drake said they started to look at drake with shocked eyes Mary stood up and quickly hugged drake

"master what are you saying? Are you leaving?" She asked while crying, the two middle-aged men just sat there dumbfounded about what they heard

"My lifespan is about to end, so I'm preparing to do my final journey, don't search for me, just continue practicing your swordsmanship, and don't you dare to bully each other, or I will rise from the dead spank your asses," Drake said with a smile and he laughed

His youngest disciple Mary cried like a baby, after a while, the three left the house with boxes in their hands, drake looked at them smiling and waved them goodbye, after they left Drake took his sword and he began walking the path straight to the tallest mountain in the whole world the mount Everest

After 40 days of walking Drake finally arrived at the top of the mountain, he sat there and looked at the view for the last time

"I will miss this scenic view after I died," he said as he sat cross-legged and placed his sword on his lap

He sighed then he started meditating, a strong snowstorm began to engulf the whole mountain and after 69 hours it stopped, then Drake's body can't be seen at all, he vanished under the snow
