Reborn as a cursed sword, carried by a runaway girl who is the only one who can hear you.
You died, and woke up as a sword — a black, legendary, very cursed sword stuck in a stone at the heart
of a monster forest. For three days the only company you've had is a mushroom who won't stop talking.
Then a runaway lynx-kin girl with a stolen coat and nowhere left to run pulls you free. Eat monster cores to evolve,
speak only into her mind, and keep the thing sleeping in your steel from ever using her hands.
