A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

In early spring of 1836, in Heiwa Town, Edo, the samurai house of the Asemon family.

Inside a standard eight-tatami room, Yamada Asaemon Sakiri, wearing a black haori, a white kimono underneath, and a mourning bell hanging on his chest, was kneeling on the ground with a handwritten copy in his hand.

Opposite her was a young man dressed the same as her, with distinct facial features, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a wisp of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, and a ponytail tied behind his head.

"So, in the autumn, the samurai of our Yamada family will assemble as instructed by the Shogun and then go on a mission?"

The young man asked calmly.

The young man's name was Yamada Asaemon Taichi. He was a man whose looks were unparalleled in Edo. Even though his swordsmanship was mediocre and he had no family ranking, he was still allowed to use his family name before his name.

"Although the decree was to be conveyed to all samurai of the Yamada family, in reality, only those with family rankings were selected." Sakiri's eyelids drooped, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow, his lips slightly parted, as he continued:

"In other words, Senior Brother Taiyi, you have no ranking... therefore you will not be selected."

whispering sound......

Taiyi lowered his head, chuckled, and shook his head.

So in the end, I didn't have to go to Paradise Island, and naturally I didn't have to face those celestial beings from the original story who were like gods and could transform into giant monsters.

In my memory, there were a total of thirteen samurai from the Yamada family who landed on the island twice, plus ten prisoners with top-notch combat skills, and the ninjas from Ishigakure.

There were over a hundred people in total, but in the end, only nine survived!

So, is not having to go considered a kind of starting perk for a time traveler?

It seems the Yamada family takes good care of me.

but......

As a transmigrator with a system, how could I possibly back down?

I'm going to become the "Sword Master"!

That's right, Yamada Asaemon Taichi is a time traveler!

After watching the final episode of Hell's Paradise, he saw everyone die or get injured trying to defeat the God of Samantabhadra, "Lotus," but it was all for naught.

In the end, it was the male protagonist, Huameiwan, who, through his persuasive words and the reason of "love," convinced Ren that she didn't want to live anymore, thus allowing everyone to survive.

Speechless, Chen Taiyi exclaimed, "If this is the outcome, I'd do it myself!!!"

Then his vision went black, and he found himself in Edo in 1836, where he became a member of the Yamada Asaemon family, a family of imperial executioners.

"I've been working really hard lately."

While Taiyi was speaking, he also summoned his own system.

[Sword Control System]

Name: Yamada Asaemon Taichi

Age: 20

【Lifespan: 53】

[Energy: 66.2 (+)]

Qi and Blood: 5.5 (+)

[God Soul: 7.0 (+)]

[Breathing Technique (+): Roar of the Shadow Tiger (+)]

[Martial Arts Skill: One-Sword Style (+)]

【Title: Nameless Ronin (When facing enemies, the only thing they'll notice about you is your good looks)】

[Common points: 3]

"Senior Brother Taiyi, please forgive my rudeness, but is your so-called effort just eating meat behind our backs every day?"

Zorchet's lips were pursed, his previous composure vanished, and his trembling finger pointed at Taiichi and the large elbow in his hand as he continued:

"This violates the rules of the shogunate. If Senior Brother Shujian finds out..."

"Stop! How can we close the gap in physical condition with you if we don't eat meat?"

Taiichi interrupted Sachi, staring intently at him.

I don't have such exaggerated physical attributes as you characters from the original work!

The latter thought Taiyi was looking at her, and immediately blushed and lowered her head, but she didn't know that he was just checking her data.

Name: Yamada Asaemon Sakiri

Age: 18

【Lifespan: 72】

[Essence: 113.7]

Qi and Blood: 23.0

【God Soul: 4.7】

The system can display not only its own data but also the other party's data, although the content is not as complete as its own.

Every time Yamada Asaemon Taichi sees the data of characters from the original work, such as Sakiri, he feels a toothache.

Especially Zoche, you're a girl, and your blood energy level is higher than mine, but when you get your period, you say you're weak.

Who's weaker between us?

"Eating meat can indeed increase the two attributes of essence and blood, but the increase is too slow. In a day, it only increases by 0.1."

"It seems... I still have to rely on the system, after all, I'm a man with a cheat code."

Taiyi wiped his hands, gradually narrowed his eyes, and his mind began to work.

After a period of exploration, he has mastered how to use the system.

My system is called "Sword Master". I don't know if it's because I transmigrated into a cherry blossom person, but even the system's name has a cherry blossom flavor.

The system is very easy to use. See the (+) at the end?

Do you see the common points?

Hey, right! As long as there's a universal point, you can just click it wherever you need it, and that's it!

What Taiyi really cared about was the value displayed in the system.

This body is 20 years old, but its lifespan is only 53 years!

Even worse, before he improved his diet, he discovered that his vital essence was decreasing every day, followed by his lifespan.

Even though it's only a fraction of a second, the feeling of being cut by a dull knife is much more unbearable!

"Sigh, the food I ate before was really bad. It was just rice, pickled vegetables, and miso soup every day. It's a miracle that the original owner was even 1.75 meters tall!"

He mentally grumbled about the ridiculous rule in Japan that no one eats meat, a rule that has been passed down since Prince Shotoku's time.

"But on Paradise Island, there is knowledge about becoming stronger and living longer. I don't want to die in my fifties."

Taiyi thought with a determined look in his eyes.

A healthy ordinary person has a vital essence of around 100 at birth, and the value is generally below 70 after adulthood, with a lifespan of less than 60 years. At the same time, the values ​​of Qi and Blood and Spirit are basically equal to 1.

"Essence affects lifespan and vitality, Qi and blood affect endurance, explosive power, and strength, while the spirit... is what allows me to feel 'Qi'!"

At this moment, the world in Taiyi's eyes turned into darkness.

The location of Zoche is a human-shaped image with blurred outlines and steam rising from its surface.

"Through observation and judgment, only those with a spiritual value exceeding 5.0 can sense Qi, which is what the Celestial Immortals call the Dao and what Shi Yuan calls the Wave."

As for why Taiyi values ​​"qi" so much, it's because he discovered that the increase in value, obtained through breathing techniques, is faster than eating.

This conclusion was reached after he upgraded his breathing technique.

While universal points can be used to improve stats, obtaining universal points is not so simple, because universal points can only be obtained by killing living beings.

And killing small animals is useless; you have to kill people at the very least.

Taiyi is not a heartless and deranged psychopath. He wouldn't go out and indiscriminately kill innocent people just to get universal points.

Being able to legally kill people at the Yamada family's residence using one's status as a decapitation striker is already quite an achievement.

However, killing people isn't something you can do every day, so overall, if you want to become stronger, you still need to upgrade your breathing techniques and supplement your diet.

"But even if you want to eat meat, it's not something you can just do whenever you want."

Thinking of this, Taiyi's face turned slightly bitter.

The shogunate forbade the consumption of meat, so if you wanted to buy meat, you had to spend a lot of money to go to those special shops.

He already ate a lot, and meat was expensive, so even though he was from the wealthy Yamada Asaemon family, Taichi always felt that he didn't have enough money in his pocket.

At this moment, Zorki was tilting his head, watching Taiichi's expression with great interest. First, he was full of energy, then he gritted his teeth and spoke, and finally he looked utterly hopeless and amused. Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but say:

"By the way, senior brother, there is one more thing. A nobleman came to test his sword just now, but senior brother and the others are not here for the time being. We need you to go over there."

"Oh? That's great, let's go!"

Taiyi was taken aback for a moment, then stood up happily and walked towards the door.

For the Yamada Asaemon family, testing their swords was an excellent activity.

After the trial, everyone will receive a generous reward, at least ten taels of gold!

A quarter of an hour later.

Tai looked at the knife in his hand, somewhat bewildered.

"Am I seeing things? What is this engraved?"

"Exterminate the evil spirits?" (Exterminate the evil spirits)

Holy crap! How the hell are there ghosts in this world?!
