I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

In Bleach, starting with the Infinite Sword creator: Kazuya's Years and Years

Summary:

Thanks for the invitation!

He's a man on the verge of death, not particularly talented, and has been lying in bed for thirty years.

Unexpectedly, once his Zanpakuto was fully formed, he became a "sword man".

Unlimited Blade Works is essentially a "unrestricted swordsmanship".

Soul Society doesn't allow two identical Zanpakuto to exist, so if I don't use a Zanpakuto, will that be okay?

Black Blade Night and Zangetsu: Which is the strongest in the slashing style?

Murasame and Suzumebachi: Who is the number one assassin?

Which is stronger, the Golden Osmanthus Sword or the Thousand Cherry Blossoms?

Can Yin Tie's One-Sword Shura and One-Sword Rakshasa vie for the title of the strongest Kenpachi?

Unlimited Blade Works is essentially about "swords." All the "swords" in the world belong to me. Yhwach, even Ichibei Hyosube's "Black" couldn't take it away from you, so how could you possibly take away my "sword"?

Chapter 1 Unlimited Sword System

Note: This book has been renamed "In Death God, Starting with Unlimited Blade Works". I have contacted the editor, but I don't know exactly when it will be officially renamed. Please bear with it for now.

……

"This body is made by the sword."

"Blood is as strong as steel, but the heart is as fragile as glass."

"Having fought countless battles, he was never defeated, yet he was never understood."

"Therefore, he often stood on the hill of swords, reveling in victory."

"It was all meaningless in the end."

"This is—Unlimited Blade Works!"

……

In the dormitory, Erin opened her eyes and looked at Asada, who was sitting on her lap.

No, this sword can now be called a "Zanpakuto".

Stroking his Zanpakuto, Erin felt a mix of emotions.

In her previous life, Erin was an ordinary office worker whose only hobby was anime and novels.

Perhaps it was a joke by some great being, but thirty years ago, Erin was reincarnated into an anime she once loved, and she even possessed spiritual pressure.

At that time, Erin, who thought he was the protagonist, excitedly went through all kinds of hardships from Rukongai and finally successfully joined the Shinigami Academy.

Back then, Erin was arrogant and thought that as the protagonist, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a position like vice-captain for three years or captain for five years, but at least a ten-year term as a board member or a hundred-year term as captain.

Unfortunately, during his six years at the Shinigami Academy, Erin almost failed the Gotei 13's exams and became one of the countless cannon fodder members assigned to the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.

For the past century, the war between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo has been raging, and the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force has become a veritable meat grinder of death.

It was only because Erin's Shunpo was not bad that he was accepted by the examiner of the Second Division.

He never imagined that, twenty-four years after accepting his utter ordinariness, he would actually be able to successfully create his own Zanpakuto.

Furthermore, because of his understanding of this ability, he already knew the name and ability of his Zanpakuto without needing it to tell him.

In the world of Bleach, a name also represents power!

After the Zanpakuto was completed, Erin's spiritual pressure also increased by one level, currently reaching level five spiritual power.

Feeling his sudden surge of power, Erin realized that even without unleashing his Zanpakuto, he could now be considered an "elite" member of the Execution Army.

"Then, let's test the differences between my abilities in the Bleach world and in Fate!"

Erin placed his right hand on the hilt of his Zanpakuto, and blue light emanated from his hand, transforming into blue patterns that covered his Zanpakuto.

"Identifying and creating concepts..."

"Imagine the basic framework..."

After these blue patterns completely covered his Zanpakuto, Erin could sense that in his mental space, the creation process of another weapon had begun.

After dissipating the light in his hand, Erin entered his own mental space.

The gray earth, the fiery red sky, and the edge of the mental space are countless flames and rotating gears.

Unlike the soul space of other Zanpakuto, Erin's Zanpakuto does not have a manifested form within its mental space.

Or rather, this entire space is the manifestation of Erin's Zanpakuto.

He stretched out his hand, and blue spiritual energy bloomed in Erin's hand.

"Projection—Start!"

The next moment, a large amount of spiritual energy, under Erin's control, extended into the shape of a Zanpakuto, with blue patterns spreading across the blue spiritual Zanpakuto.

"Replication constitutes material..."

"Imitation manufacturing techniques..."

"Empathic growth experiences..."

"Recreating the accumulated years..."

"Surpassing and completing numerous projects..."

The blue light dissipated, and Erin held a Zanpakuto in his hand.

Furthermore, the power of this Zanpakuto is exactly the same as that of his Zanpakuto in the outside world.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the Zanpakuto spun a few times in the air before embedding itself in the highest hill in the area, casting a long shadow under the fiery red light of the sky…

……

Although the creation of the Zanpakuto was completed and its first release was achieved, however...

Thinking of the power of his Zanpakuto and the situation that a certain genius boy would encounter two hundred years later, Erin finally shook his head.

Soul Society does not allow two identical Zanpakuto to exist!

But with the abilities of his Zanpakuto, he could have more than just two identical ones.

Give me enough time, and selling all the Zanpakuto that appear in the entire Soul Society in bulk will not be difficult.

If those nobles were to discover my abilities, who knows what they would do to me?

Before one has fully matured, it's best not to use the true power of one's Zanpakuto in front of outsiders.

Therefore, Erin continued to slack off in the second division as always.

When there's a mission, he goes on missions with his companions; when there's no mission, he trains at the Second Division's training grounds. After returning to his dormitory at night, he also creates the Zanpakuto he's recorded in his mental world.

Erin's Zanpakuto is called "Unlimited Blade Works".

But it's more accurate to say "making swords" rather than "making swords".

This space contains countless elements of a "sword". As long as Erin has the blueprint of a "sword", he can create the "sword".

Moreover, the "swords" created by Erin not only possess their own abilities, but also their owners' experience in using the "swords" are copied by Erin.

Given the current state of Soul Society, Erin cannot use the abilities of the "swords" he created, but the combat experience of their masters that these "swords" contain has greatly benefited Erin.

With each new sword he crafts, Erin gains decades or even centuries of combat experience from them. After absorbing this experience, Erin's Death God's Fourth Technique, Slashing White Flash, improves to an astonishing degree.

Furthermore, for every additional Zanpakuto forged in Erin's Infinite Blade Works, Erin's spiritual pressure would increase accordingly.

Erin originally joined the Execution Army by dragging the Second Division along, so it can be said that every Shinigami in the Execution Army is stronger than Erin.

The stronger the Zanpakuto is forged, the greater the increase in Erin's spiritual pressure.

In just a few short months, Erin's improvement was several times greater than what he had achieved in the previous thirty years.

On this day, Erin had just finished forging a Zanpakuto in his own mental world when he suddenly heard the call to assemble.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang..."

The sound of the mallet striking the plank was a rapid, three-strike rhythm—a signal of an urgent mission.

Without having time to absorb the experience from this Zanpakuto, Erin quickly dressed.

Dressed entirely in black shihaka (a type of Japanese martial arts uniform), with a hood that only reveals his eyes, he looked like a ninja.

Emerging from the dormitory, the "ninjas," resembling Erin, quickly headed towards the Xingjun's assembly point.

Chapter 2 Mission

The Execution Army is a covert and mobile unit of the Second Division, and also its most powerful unit.

Their main tasks include infiltration, assassination, execution, and covert infiltration.

The key focus during the operation was "efficiency".

Therefore, during the operation, the members of the Execution Army did not shout and yell like the members of other squads. Instead, they were all calm, composed, and orderly, like meticulous machines.

After joining the group, Erin quickly found his squad leader on the way and followed behind him.

Along with Erin were three other Grim Reapers.

"Ok?"

When he sensed a figure suddenly appear beside him, Furuta Aoki was startled.

Which squad leader is looking for me?

Could it be that they want to cooperate with my team in the upcoming mission?

A few seconds after the figure followed behind Furuta Aoki, Furuta Aoki recognized him as a member of his team, someone he had personally recruited from the Shinigami Academy.

But what's going on?

If Furuta Aoki remembers correctly, during the last mission, Erin was no different from the other three members of his team.
