Seojun continued to examine the sword he had just retrieved, the crystal embedded in its center catching the light and reflecting a spectrum of colors. He thought about the implications of his earlier actions and the potential of creating an altar.
'Making an altar allows to access my other items in the inventory,' Seojun mused, 'that's not a bad outco.'
Seojun continued to examine the sword he had just retrieved suddenly he heard a voice.
"That's a beautiful sword."
Instinctively, Seojun concealed the sword and looked up, finding a child sitting across the table from him. The kid's presence was sudden and unexpected. Seojun, curious and cautious, slowly returned the sword to his inventory. Almost imdiately, the child vanished.
"Wow, what is that? You're piercing the air?"
The child's voice now ca from his side. Seojun turned to see the kid staring intently at the half-visible sword, hovering in mid-air beside him.
Seojun furrowed his brow and continued to study the sword. Seojun put the sword away and looked at the child. "Who are you?" he asked.
The child vanished instantly, and a mont later, she reappeared sitting across from him. She had a shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes.
'Why am i seeing a younger version of myself but a girl?'
She hugged a blue plushie shaped like a shark tightly to her chest, her gaze fixed on Seojun with a mix of curiosity and innocence.

Before Seojun could ask another question, the girl suddenly appeared at his side, her blue eyes wide with curiosity.
"What's your na, brother?" she asked.
Seojun frowned slightly and replied, "Seojun. Han Seojun."
The girl extended her hand with a bright smile and introduced herself, "I'm Jana hye Just call Jana Brother. It's nice eting you."
Seojun accepted Hana's hand and shook it gently. Her innocent curiosity was disarming.
"Did you co from the future? Are you my future self?" she asked, her eyes wide with wonder.
Seojun's usual composure softened in the face of her cuteness. He couldn't help but smile. "Maybe?"
Hana's eyes sparkled with excitent. "Really? Then can I have that sword?"
Seojun chuckled softly, his guard lowered by her infectious enthusiasm. Seojun shook his head gently. "The sword is too big for you, Jana."
Jana's eyes fell to the small sword she was holding. "Daddy found this and enhanced for , but I want sothing bigger."
Seojun examined the small sword. It was clearly a fragnt, sothing that seed incomplete but still finely crafted. "Can I borrow?" he asked.
Jana nodded eagerly, handing over the small sword. As soon as Seojun took it, his appraisal skill activated.

[Would you like to proceed with further analysis or restoration?]
Seojun muttered "Analyse"
- Fragnt Analysis: The fragnt is part of a larger weapon. Restoring it requires accessing the original item in your inventory.
- Warning: Using fragnts can be dangerous. Confirm if you want to restore this fragnt to its original state.
Seojun looked at Jana, who was watching him with sparkling eyes. "Using fragnts can be dangerous. Do you want to restore it to its original state?"
Jana's eyes lit up. "Can you really do that, brother? Wow! Do it! I don't like the feeling of this small sword anyway."
Seojun smiled and ruffled Jana's hair affectionately. "Sure thing,"
As Jana giggled and appreciated the gesture, Seojun accessed the original sword from his inventory. Following the system's instructions, he began the restoration process. The fragnt slowly rged with the original sword, growing and reshaping into its full form.
As the restoration process completed, the fragnt transford into a larger sword, its full form gleaming in the light.
Jana's eyes widened in awe. "Wow! How did you do that, brother?!"
She reached out eagerly, but Seojun raised the sword out of her grasp. "You should use the small sword form for now. A weapon bigger than you can be dangerous."
Jana looked up at him with innocent curiosity. "If I listen, will you play with ?"
Seojun smiled warmly. "Yeah."
"Deal!" Jana exclaid, her face lighting up with excitent.
Seojun concentrated, channeling his mana to shrink the sword back to its smaller size. He knew the sword's size was influenced by the amount of mana used. Once it was the size of a dagger, he handed it to Jana.
Jana held the small sword carefully. "Wow! It feels amazing! It's not like earlier, when sothing felt off."
Seojun nodded. "You can feel the difference?"
Jana bead and nodded. "Yes, it feels just right now!"
Seojun felt a sense of satisfaction, pleased that Jana was happy with the transford sword. He looked forward to the playful monts they would share.
Seojun watched as Jana, with impressive dexterity, expertly twirled and flipped the small sword. He was still in awe.
"How old are you, Jana?" he asked, curiosity piqued.
"I'm turning 5 next month," Jana replied with a bright smile. "Thank you so much for this, brother. I told Daddy that it's dangerous to use incomplete artifacts, but he didn't listen."
Jana carefully placed the sword into a leather sheath and then got down from her chair, pulling it closer before sitting back down.
Seojun thought, 'Is this really how a nearly 5-year-old acts?'
"Hehee, you can't believe I'm just 5 years old, brother?" Jana said, noticing his astonishnt. "Don't worry, everyone gets that."
"What do you an?" Seojun asked, puzzled.
Jana's eyes sparkled with a hint of pride. "Oh, I'm a bit of a prodigy. Daddy says so too. I've been practicing a lot, so people often can't believe how skilled I am for my age."
Jana swung her feet playfully as she sat in the chair, clearly enjoying the attention. Seojun watched her with a thoughtful expression, realizing that her mature behavior for her age might be due to her prodigious talent and experiences.
