（Well said, Alphonse. We will now perform the ritual. Are you ready?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(......) Yeah, sure, Norn. Do it.)

　As I replied, the blade of Norn's sword flashed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bright red sword glowed brightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Red like blood, yet warm and enveloping.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The light pulsates.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The intensity of the light grows and spreads as it pulses.

　My room in my parents' house in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was standing in the center of the room, undergoing the ritual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The room was filled with light that spread out before my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And when the light had filled the room more than ever, the Norns rose up by themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the tip of the sword pointed straight up, it floated up without a sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When it reached the height of my chest, it spun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The light continued to beat as it spun in all directions on the spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't take my eyes off it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was completely distracted by the movement of the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ggghh,gahh......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a sudden change in the movement of Norn, the ceremonial sword that had been spinning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it was spinning erratically in the air in front of me, pointing in various directions, but suddenly it stopped spinning with the tip of the sword pointing toward me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the moment I noticed it, the magic sword in the air was moving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the tip of the sword pointed at me, it flew toward my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was so instantaneous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My hands started to move to stop it, to grab it, but by that time, the sword was already in my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was lodged in my chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ggggggghh....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the sword didn't stop there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the sword stuck in my chest, it pushed the sword further into my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I manage to move my arm and grip the hilt of the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I can't stop it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Either the sword is moving too strong, or I'm losing my power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't even know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I just know that with my grip on the hilt, I'm being penetrated even more deeply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Boom!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword is thrusting deep into my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is nothing I can do to stop it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then the sword pulsated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not the pulsation of light that I had seen before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt my body tremble with a distinct thump.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was only then that I finally realized what was happening to my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword's blade is quite long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it pierced through my chest, it would have easily penetrated through my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I hadn't noticed it before due to the suddenness of the situation, but the sword that had pierced my body didn't fly out to its backside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As long as the sword was stuck in my body, the tip of the sword must have come out from the back side of my body to make up for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was thinking such a thing as I observed what had happened to my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I'm confused, even though I shouldn't be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's funny, I thought to myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Boom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was doing so, the magic sword pulsated even more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that there is only the hilt of the sword I'm holding left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword, which has been deeply stabbed to the brim, doesn't even twitch no matter how hard I try to pull it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this state, the sword continues to beat again and again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With each pounding beat, my whole body becomes hotter and hotter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Little by little, little by little, my body became hot and burning hot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was a strange sensation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I should be hot, hot, hot, but I didn't hate it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how to describe it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if this is the right way to put it, but I had the feeling that I was being born again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With each beat, the blood rushes through my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the blood rushes through my body, affecting all the cells that make up my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what it felt like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a strange, yet pleasant sensation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It continued for a while, and before I knew it, I was lying on the floor, unconscious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was unconscious on the floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Hey, you awake?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That ......, oh yeah. I must have passed out."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Yeah. Well, maybe just a little bit.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how long I was asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I woke up from lying on the floor and got up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn says that I woke up immediately, so I must not have been unconscious for that long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Where are you, Norn?　Where are you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then it occurred to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn was nowhere to be seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic sword that was stuck in my chest was nowhere to be found.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as I regained consciousness, I looked at my chest, but there was nothing there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it wasn't on the floor either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I was sure that a thought from Norn had come to me just now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, I would have to hold the norn in my hand to receive such a thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I thought it might have fallen nearby, but no matter how much I looked for it, I couldn't find it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（It's no use looking for it, Alphonse. You and I are the same.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Assimilation?　Wait a minute. What do you mean?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I told you.　You made a deal with me. You made a deal with me. A blood contract. I've become one with your blood.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Huh?　I didn't hear you say that.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（You didn't ask. It's a bad idea not to know what you're signing up for. Well, it should still work as a sword. You can pray that he'll let me out.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm confused by the sudden mention of assimilation, but I follow Norn's words and think that I want to bring out the magic sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, the magic sword popped out of the red sigil-like thing that had been attached to my palm for some time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It appeared as if my blood was spurting out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is it possible that this is like my blood made a magic sword?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Yes. I became your blood. By using my blood, you can make the magic sword, and by sucking blood with the sword, your magic power will increase. Congratulations, Alphonse. Today you are born a new bloodsucker. I bless you with the name of the demon sword Norn.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I may have failed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought my blood would be replaced by a sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I may have made too many important decisions in the heat of the moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Well, that's okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sorry, but I'll change my mind in a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What's done is done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I was reborn as the demon sword Norn.
