My Dao Companion Is a Sword

Lin Qiyun transmigrates into his favorite novel, Sword Dao Supreme.

He lands in the Forest of Magical Beasts from the start, on hell difficulty.

How are you supposed to play without a nerf?

Wait, I didn't say you could nerf me!

He's been nerfed into the protagonist Xuanyuan Zhiheng's sword. He can't speak or move...

The blade is cold, but his heart is colder.

How does the protagonist's cold-faced killer persona have anything to do with the gentle, saintly man in the book?

Lin Qiyun (losing it) (flipping the table): Author, explain yourself! Why is he so out of character?!

The author doesn't explain. Instead, things get even worse, because not only the characters but the plot are going off the rails!!!

#This was supposed to be the original novel, so why is it fanfiction?#

#Will someone speak up for me?#

#Who do transmigrators into books go to for help?#

Xuanyuan Zhiheng wakes from a dream one day to find a strange sword beside him. He's never seen it before, yet it feels inexplicably familiar... like an old friend he hasn't seen in ages.

Stranger still, he can always hear it chattering away.

When he kills a demon beast:

"Sword": Beautifully done! You're amazing, little one!

When he travels in silence:

"Sword": The flowers in my heart, I want to take you home~

When he's cleaning his sword, the other one starts making a fuss about its chastity being in danger!

Since when does a sword have chastity?

#Thanks for asking, the sword I picked up is sentient now#

#But he says I'm amazing, you know#

#He's noisy, but cute. I guess I'll keep him around!#

Extra Scene

One day, the bracelet hanging from Xuanyuan Zhiheng's wrist cracks, and its light suddenly dims for a moment.

His body shoots up and matures, changing from eight years old to twenty-eight. As his vision flips upside down, a panicked, translucent boy's soul tumbles out of the sword and into his arms.

The touch is cold, yet his heart gives a sudden jolt.

Lin Qiyun (stunned): Wait, how did I get out? Y-you can see me?

Xuanyuan Zhiheng instinctively tightens his arms around him: A sword spirit?

#I've caught a soul in my arms. What do I do next? Help!#

#Swords really do have chastity!#
