You were living a normal, boring life when you suddenly died in a horrible but ultimately mundane accident, but as your soul departed your body you heard a voice explain that you would be reborn in another world full of magic and monsters, as a dangerous and powerful force capable of changing the world for better or worse! As strange and unexpected as it was, it sounded like a pretty good deal, and you were excited to see how things went…

However, when you woke up, you found yourself unable to move. Your body felt stiff and rigid, and like it was even being held in place… As your vision cleared you got a sense of your surroundings: you looked to be in what appeared to be an old forest shrine, probably a sacred place for the inhabitants or something like that… but then you slowly began to realize why you felt the way you did…

You had been transformed into a sword and were currently embedded in a stone!
