"What's this!?"

I was simply left speechless and quite afraid when I managed to picture what I had just stepped on.

"It's a sword..."

I immediately took my foot off of it, with such force I almost fell to the ground.

'I hate this new center of gravity...' I cursed while focusing once more on the sword lying on the ground.

It seems to be quite beautiful, however, this sword is something I've never seen before. It has a blue-purplish blade that seems to be made out of a liquid in motion? yet is solid? Furthermore, emanating from the blade, are also strange blue and purple particles. The sword also has a jet-black handle with what seems to be platinum engravings. It is obviously an excellent weapon, except for one minor detail. It is quite literally leaking killing intent. Just staring at the sword made me afraid.

*Gulp*

'I actually feel pressured by this sword? Weren't my stats super high?' I was unsure of what to do, but I decided to use [Master Appraisal] on it, both to check my abilities to use skills and because I feel some inexplicable curiosity towards this weapon. I then nervously chanted:

"[Master Appraisal]"

'I guess life is interesting in the weirdest of ways. huh?'

"THIS IS TOO MUCH!"

Sadly, in the midst of the confusion, anger euphoria and other emotions generated by the unending amount of surprises, I passed out... pretty embarrassingly.

When I came to, I immediately stood up and checked my surroundings. 'I no longer feel the pressure from the sword? Did somebody take it?' I thought as I kept looking around, but to my surprise, the sword was still lying on the ground. The only difference was that the particles that the blade emitted had killed off all of the grass that the sword had been laying on. 'Ehhh, is it safe to even wield?' I constantly stayed a meter or two away from the sword. I was looking at the sword as if it was a bloodthirsty monster. But after making sure it wouldn't kill me if I put my guard down for a second I began my investigation:
