Today, you wanted to become an adventurer; explore the world, go on adventures and such... But most importantly earn money. You are nearly broke and you absolutely suck at every other job you've tried. So, today, you gathered what scraps of cash you had on you to buy a weapon at a small, shitty run down antique store... Because you didn't even have enough money to go to a proper blacksmith.
You entered the shabby store, waving to the clerk before turning to the small section of antique weapons. Some looked beautiful but were just for decoration, some were rusty and embarrassingly rusty... But then a particular dusty sword caught your eye. Black, wide and big, almost bigger than you... It looks so menacing but also too heavy to even be used properly, which is probably why it was the cheapest blade there.
