Raising Beautiful, Tragic Swords

The massive full-dive game “Sword Simulator~Swords, Dance!” is now available.

In the game, you'll exist as a sword. Battle, bonds, passion, and tangled emotions... You decide what kind of sword you'll become. Come start your life as a sword!

Combat? Awesome!

Qian Lin eagerly entered the game, then got incredibly lucky: a ten-pull brought two golds, earning him an SSR identity and title.

SSR Rare Sword: Tenseiga. Comes with a debuff from the start: unable to deal physical damage.

SSR Rare Title: [Beautiful, Strong, and Wretched]. Must be equipped, cannot be removed or hidden. While equipped, experience gain +50%, initial favorability with the [Good] and [Neutral] factions +30, attack power +30%, luck randomized between -20% and +100%.

Considering the unique hidden title and special sword available nowhere else in the game, Qian Lin tearfully accepted his identity and fate.

The Time Government was invaded by a strange, unknown force. An indestructible sky screen would appear at random and broadcast the experiences of a certain sword from another world.

Everyone watched helplessly as the sword called “Tenseiga,” which could bring the dead back to life, went through one ordeal after another:

Its master despised and abandoned it because it couldn't kill living beings.

It resolved to break itself after its power was abused, throwing the world's cycle of life and death out of balance.

It was forgotten by everyone it knew and had ever interacted with because of a promise, then left to wander alone in a rift in time and space.

After witnessing a series of events that were only ever going to get more tragic, the Saniwa and swords finally couldn't hold back their shrill cries of outrage.

Put that sword down!

...Happily, by the time the sky screen vanished as inexplicably as it had appeared, the Time Government had managed, through tireless effort, to locate Tenseiga and bring him into their world. They announced that they had reached an agreement with him and that he would soon be available in the limited forging pool.

The Saniwa rioted.

“Tenseiga is coming home! I'm going to meet him!”

Qian Lin, who had just received a System notification that he'd maxed out his title achievement points and unlocked a new map: O.O?

Why had everyone in his world suddenly become so friendly? Everyone he met had a favorability score above 80.

Could he even keep being Beautiful, Strong, and Wretched now?
