Arthur stood frozen in place, unable to believe any of it. This sword had suddenly chosen him? The heirloom sword was supposed to choose a smart and extremely powerful protagonist—so why had it chosen him instead? He didn’t even possess any power and was trapped in the body of an overweight man.

It was clear that many other clans didn’t accept him. They glared at Arthur with angry stares.

The sword was still hovering in front of Arthur, waiting for him to touch it.

What kind of plot twist was this?

A bright light appeared, and Arthur saw floating text that read, “True life is just about to begin.” He fell silent, pondering the meaning of those words.

Shortly afterward, the text vanished.

“That fat man doesn’t deserve the double-edged heirloom sword! He can barely even walk—something must be wrong. There’s no way he was chosen!” exclaimed a man from the Wolf clan.

“Exactly! That fat man doesn’t even have any power. He must have cheated and tricked us into thinking the heirloom sword chose him,” growled a member of the Dragon clan.

Arthur looked annoyed; many clans accused him of cheating, even though he himself knew nothing about it. He was just as surprised that this sword had suddenly chosen him.

In fact, he himself had thought that the Double-Edged Heirloom Sword would choose Zegan Xell, a very powerful wanderer. He mastered the seven elemental powers, was humble, and intelligent.

‘Where is that man?’

Was it because that man didn’t show up that he was chosen instead? It seemed something had happened to him, preventing him from attending the selection for the legendary double-edged sword.

“We might as well just fight. Show us your strength and prowess against us. If you’re not up to it, that means you’re not worthy of the legendary sword!”

Arthur glared at the burly man from the Dragon Clan. He was the leader of the Dragon Clan—a cruel and selfish man who believed himself to be the strongest.

The Dragon Clan leader’s personality was truly infuriating! He had even tortured his entire people once, just over a trivial matter. He would prove that he was indeed worthy of being chosen by the double-edged heirloom sword.

Arthur touched the sword. If he managed to touch it, that meant he was truly the chosen one! They should all believe that he hadn’t cheated in any way.

“Look, I managed to touch it, and this sword is very obedient. That proves I’m worthy of being chosen!” Arthur said firmly.

Many were stunned to see that the fat man could actually control the double-edged heirloom sword. However, most still refused to accept it, believing Arthur’s abilities to be inferior to their own.

“Impossible! Do you actually possess some kind of control magic? We all know you’re a lazy human with no abilities whatsoever—you can’t even defend yourself!” exclaimed the Dragon Clan Leader.

“Don’t just spout nonsense! This sword chooses not only based on ability, but also on character and heart. If your heart is rotten, how could you possibly be chosen?” Arthur grumbled.

“You should also know that the double-edged heirloom sword isn’t affected by any magic!”

The Dragon Clan Leader looked extremely angry upon hearing Arthur’s words.

“Everyone! Do you believe this fat man’s words more? He’s just trying to defend himself. A thousand years ago, the Avtar Earth Heirloom chose King Aberforth because he was very strong and could control the nine elements of nature. The Avtar Heirloom would never choose someone weak and useless!” The Dragon Clan Leader continued to provoke the other clans so that Arthur would remain the scapegoat.

“That’s right! The Avtar Land heirloom has never chosen a weak man, let alone a fat, useless man!” growled one of the members of the Tiger clan.

The Dragon clan leader smiled faintly, as many were defending him. If the clans didn’t accept him, it was certain that the heirloom sword would be put away again.

‘Foolish man! I’m the only one worthy of that heirloom.’

Arthur could no longer contain his anger; he thrust the heirloom sword into the ground, causing a powerful tremor.

“I’m not weak! This sword has chosen me. If you don’t accept that, then you’ll have to fight me,” Arthur said with a firm voice and a piercing gaze.

Two men from the Tiger clan and three men from the Dragon clan immediately attacked Arthur. However, Arthur easily defeated them using the double-edged heirloom sword.

They were seriously injured; some were even killed instantly because the spiritual energy of the double-edged heirloom sword was so powerful.

“If you don’t want to suffer the same fate as them, you’d better all leave here!” Arthur commanded in a firm voice.

The entire clan finally chose to return to their respective territories.

Arthur never expected this to happen to him; it all happened suddenly and completely out of the blue. Chosen by the Double-Edged Heirloom Sword, yet hated by many clans.

They left, but not because it was over. They simply couldn’t stand up to the Double-Edged Heirloom Sword. Many still couldn’t accept that he had been chosen by it.

Now his life wasn’t just about his mother and work.

“Why did you choose me?” Arthur muttered, staring at the heirloom sword.

The sword briefly emitted a glow, as if responding to Arthur’s words.

Arthur thought of Queen Avtar. Whoever was chosen by this sword would be given the opportunity to spend the night with her.

With his overweight body, would the beautiful Queen accept him? Regardless of his physical appearance, Queen Avtar should still accept him because he had been chosen by the double-edged heirloom sword.

“I still have to go see Queen Avtar because I’ve been chosen,” Arthur said with a faint smile. Then he set off for Avtar Palace.

She wanted Arthur to resolve his issues with the Wizard Clan first.On his way, Arthur happened to see the leader of the Demon Sect and several of his followers enter an exclusive restaurant frequented only by the upper class.“I need to investigate them too—who knows, maybe they really are connected to the Demon Clan and know the identity of the masked man who’s helping them,” Arthur muttered.With his ten gold coins, he was able to enter the restaurant, even though his appearance was very plain and a bit disheveled.The restaurant attendant initially mistook Arthur for a beggar. Not only was his appearance unkempt, but his face was also unsightly from not having bathed for several days. However, Arthur immediately showed the attendant his ten gold coins an

    Hembely smiled when she saw that Arthur and her father had returned. Although she was very curious about what the two of them were discussing, the daughter of the Monster clan leader didn’t dare to ask. But judging by the expressions on their faces, it was clear they were discussing something serious.Hembely picked up the fairly large box and handed it to Arthur.“A gift for you,” Hembely said as she handed the box to Arthur.Arthur was, of course, puzzled as to why the Monster Clan leader’s daughter was giving him a box that looked like a treasure chest. After all, he hadn’t asked for any more gifts.The Monster Clan leader told Arthur to accept it, since it was a gift exactly as he had wished.Did ten gold coins really have to be placed in a box this big?Arthur then opened the box. His eyes widened immediately as he saw it filled with countless gold coins. The monsters smiled at Arthur’s surprised expression, which made him look even more handsome.Arthur let out a sigh. He couldn

The Wizard Clan believed that he was the one who had killed the Wizard Clan Leader, and they were even trying to imprison him in an Alaskan prison.Arthur also said that he had never had anything to do with the Wizard Clan—he had never even been there—so it was impossible for him to have killed the Wizard Clan Leader.The Wizard Clan gave him time to prove his innocence. However, he himself didn’t know much about the Wizard Clan.“You mean you want to learn more about the Wizard Clan through the Monster Clan?” asked the Monster Clan Leader.“That’s right.

    The Monster leader’s daughter looked very happy, while Arthur felt quite the opposite. He felt both awkward and uncomfortable because this woman had been holding onto his arm the whole time and was acting all clingy.It was as if they’d known each other for a long time, like a couple.The Monster Clan Leader certainly noticed his daughter’s behavior; it seemed she had immediately taken a liking to the young man who had saved her clan.Unfortunately, the young man wasn’t from the Monster Clan. Marriages with other clans were quite complicated, but even so, if his daughter managed to make him fall in love with her, he could become a Monster, and the Monster Clan would grow even stronger.The Monster Clan would no longer have to be an outcast clan forced to live in a remote village.“Mr. Arthur, is there anything you desire?

  • Chapter 11 : The Monster Clan Problem Is Resolved

    The double-edged heirloom sword came to a stop right in front of a large tree. Arthur saw it, but unfortunately, he was still quite far from the tree. He was certain that the tree was the reason the Monster clan had lost control like this; otherwise, the double-edged heirloom sword would never have pointed toward it.Suddenly, three Monsters were right in front of Arthur.The out-of-control Monsters surrounded Arthur from all sides.Their glares were both furious and hungry—they wanted to devour Arthur alive.Spotting a medium-sized rock in front of him, Arthur immediately grabbed it and threw it at one of them. As soon as a gap opened up, Arthur started running again to reach the tree.“Damn! It looks like they’re getting even angrier,” Arthur grumbled as he kept running with all his might.One of the terrifying monster’s arms stretched out incredibly long. Arthur’s body was easily pulled toward it.Arthur struggled desperately to break free. Those who saw Arthur caught smiled widely

  • Chapter 10 : The Monster Clan Loses Control

    Arthur had already walked quite a distance; it seemed the Alaskan prison and Avtar Palace were very far apart. He had been walking through forests the whole time. He hadn’t yet come across a village or town inhabited by people.The forests he passed through also seemed to contain no living creatures other than trees and wild plants. There wasn’t a single wild animal in these forests.Arthur smiled slightly when he spotted a village with inhabitants. However, he didn’t rush over there.Arthur watched them from a distance, wondering if they were just ordinary people or if the village was inhabited by a specific clan. He had to remain vigilant; they might not take kindly to him.“I can’t just stand here forever; I have to get back to Avtar Palace soon,” Arthur muttered.After just a few steps, Arthur stopped again. He shouldn’t have to return to Avtar Palace just yet; it wasn’t time for him to think about having fun with Queen Avtar, even though he longed to be with her. He’d also promis
