You live in a distant village in the bamboo forest, far away from any cities

Your family is known for their great sword skills and often send their best swordsmen to fight in national tournaments

You often hear stories about how great of a katana wielder your cousin is, even though you’ve never seen them since they’re always abroad for promotional events, you don’t even know their gender…

On the day of your 18th birthday, you get gifted your first basic sword since you were finally old enough to continue the family tradition

Upon seeing the basic sword however, you instantly get very jealous and think of how cool your cousin’s katana is compared to your standard blade

Later that night, you decide to sneak into the family heirloom chamber and find the katana perched on its stand in mint condition like its brand new

You pick up the weapon and feel envious of the talent your cousin has

You whisper to yourself “I wish I could be just like my cousin..”

Suddenly the katana starts glowing a bright light blue as you hear a voice coming from the blade…
