I am both startled and curious about what the heck is going on with my clothes and the bat.

It was already suspicious that the goddamn bat wasn’t getting all disfigured after hitting a beast with scales so big they resemble steel shields.

The bat might be metallic, but I am pretty sure it is hollow, so it would end up breaking at the end… right?

Even more, now that I keep getting stronger through leveling up.

…Right?

The bat, however, seems to have suddenly come back to life.

I felt dim energy coming from it before, but now that it has bathed itself with the blood of many monsters, it does indeed looks quite menacing.

It is emanating a crimson red aura as if it were a cursed item.

Kireina and Ervas noticed me glancing at my own weapon as well, and asked me what was wrong.

“Master? Is that bat… a cursed weapon?” she asked.

“I don’t detect any soul inside of it, but it does indeed emanates a strong bloodthirst,” said Ervas.

“My bat? A cursed weapon? This thing?”

Cursed Weapons. In many of the novels I have written, they are… well, special Magic Weapons which had been inhabited by evil spirits or souls, or even ghosts.

They possess supernatural abilities and can grow stronger with their wielders, often even having their own status if the novels have Systems.

Though I kind of hate talking weapons, so I am glad my bat hasn’t begun to speak to me or something.

But how did it became a cursed weapon?

By bathing in the blood of monsters?

My own Mana being infused into it?

I don’t really know, but… this awesome, nonetheless.

At first, I had wanted to steal the clothes of my next summon, but I quickly found out that summons equipment is unique to them, and cannot be equipped by anyone else, not even me.

So I have to somehow find my own equipment…

And this about was the first weapon I found inside my house today.

After a few dungeons run… it is already glowing eerily.

I move it around to find out that it is in perfect condition somehow…

I inspect it for a while, until its information comes out, just like an actual game item.

…

[Accursed Metallic Baseball Bat (F-Grade)]

An ordinary Metallic Baseball Bat that evolved into a Cursed Weapon after bathing into the highly magical blood of monsters, alongside bringing their ends in gruesome ways which were fueled by a wicked, malevolent master.

[Durability: 95/100]

[Attack Power: 120]

[Magic Conductivity: 55]

[Weapon Speed: 90]

[Traits: [Cursed Weapon (F)], [Evolving Weapon (F)], [Automatic Repair (F)], [Slaughter Healing (F)] (New!)

…

Is this a joke?! It really has stats and even Traits that seem like its own Skills.

Wait, is this baseball bat actually way better than me? It even has amazing Skills…

And what do you mean wicked master? I am pretty sure that I am not THAT edgy.

Well, what would a stupid system know anyways… Time to check out its Traits, which are more like Skills in a way.

…

[Cursed Weapon (F)]

A weapon that has bathed in the blood of many monsters and had to take their lives away gruesomely would turn into a Cursed Weapon, gaining supernatural abilities that far exceed a common weapon.

…

[Evolving Weapon (F)]

A Cursed Weapon has the power to evolve by constantly draining Mana from any victim it kills, alongside residual energy from their very souls.

The more living beings it kills, the stronger it will grow, gaining extra stats until a qualitative change occurs and it triggers evolution.

There might be the chance for the weapon to gain additional Traits and a new appearance through evolution.

…

[Automatic Repair (F)]

Magic Weapons and Cursed Weapons have the power to automatically repair themselves by consuming Mana from the monsters they slay or from their wielders.

The speed at which it can recover increases as the Trait becomes of higher Grades.

…

[Slaughter Healing (F)] (New!)

A Cursed Weapon has the malevolent power of draining the life of those it slaughter, healing a portion of the wielders Vitality with each monster it slays with the weapon.

Maximum recovery: 5% of the monster’s vitality.

…

This is quite an amazing weapon.

And it just got this new Trait as well, Slaughter Healing.

With this, I can have another way to recover a bit of Health, but seeing how it is F-Grade, the amount it can heal is not as good… Ervas is still very useful as a healer.

It is probably thanks to Evolving Weapon that the Bat has gained more stats and it’s growing stronger with every monster we slaughter… it even has the menacing red aura, and it is still F-Grade!

Imagine if it were A-Grade, what kind of monster would this weapon be?

It’s already pretty amazing.

I guess I am keeping this boy for some more time.

Though I am a summoner! Shouldn’t I have an epic staff to conjure some stuff?

Nope… just a cursed baseball bat that thirsts for the blood of the innocent.

And then there’s… my own clothes.

They are also glowing with bluish and yellow colors…

…

[Accursed Ordinary Clothes of The Frustrated Web Novelist (F-Grade)]

An ordinary set of rand clothes that a very frustrated Web Novelist wears casually while writing.

After having been bathed in the blood and sweat of the user alongside his mana, and frustrated sexual desires, it has evolved and become stronger.

It asks for more.

[Durability: 210/210]

[Physical Defense: 86]

[Magical Defense: 45]

[Traits: [Cursed Equipment (F)], [Evolving Equipment (F)], [Automatic Repair (F)], [Status Effect Resistance (F)] (New!)

…

O-Oh…

It looks pretty good.

But what with the name?!

Frustrated Web Novelist?! Why?!

…

Okay, let’s calm down.

Don’t let the System get you angered, this is what it wants, don’t give it what it wants.

Anyways, the equipment itself is amazing, and it seems to be just my entire clothes, pants, shirt, everything.

Like those games where a whole set of equipment is actually a single item I guess?

And it is also cursed… and it can evolve as well.

It seems that the difference between the Evolving Weapon and Evolving Equipment is that the Evolving Equipment Skill doesn’t need to kill a monster (because it can’t), but it drains my own Mana and power when I level up to enhance itself.

And it just got Status Effect Resistance, which makes me more resistant to status effects, pretty nice.

I guess I am keeping these things if they are going to evolve more.

Though, I wish they could get some better and new appearance…
