Here’s the main protagonist and the last of the main cast of my story concept “Gladius”. Known only as “S”, he was a sword enthusiast from our timeline before the Great Chaos (the event that merged several timelines/realities together). In the direct aftermath, he experiences a great personal tragedy and is left with only his prized Gladius sword. The sword reveals to be possessed by a mysterious and powerful entity that saves S during a monster attack. Seeing potential in him, the entity agrees to teach S how to survive in their new world and mold him into a warrior worthy of wielding him. Ten years later under the entity’s guidance, S became a legendary wonderer; Fierce in combat and reserved in presence, yet willing to aid those in need. S’s life takes another sudden turn with a failed assignation and an ask for help drags him on a journey to uncover a conspiracy that may involve the entity possessing his sword and the Great Chaos itself. Being a sword enthusiast, S already had knowledge and skills in swordsmanship but were greatly expanded under the entity’s training. S’s body even also changed thanks to the entity’s gradual influence to achieve peak strength and reflexes for a swordsman. As a result, S can win many battles without resorting to using the entity’s full power, which I will leave ambiguous for now. S’s attire incorporate both magic and high tech to provide a wide range of abilities along with all around defense such as increased limb strength and built in navigation (I’ll showcase this at some other time). As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
