角色故事•三（解鎖條件：角色等級60）
「干將 · 莫邪」——這雙劍是男子最趁手的武器，可以反覆使用投影魔術製作，無論用壞多少把都毫不心疼。理論上，只要是男子充分理解的武裝，都可以被他「無數次投影出贗品」；可出於某些淵源，唯有當投影對象屬於「劍」的分類時，男子的投影魔術才能臻於完美。
「聽起來很像賣盜版貨的商人？啊，差不多就是那樣。
「不是什麼充滿榮譽的手段，但用來對付那些自以為是、用自造的規則騎在別人頭上作威作福的傢伙，剛好合適。」
傳說中，干將與莫邪是一對傳奇的鑄劍師，夫婦倆窮盡各種方法，試圖改變這樣的現狀：鑄劍師無法掌控所鑄寶劍的品質，每次鍛冶只能聽天由命。
故事從這裡分裂出許多個版本，其中一種說法是——莫邪以身殉爐，與金屬熔液融為一體，讓干將得以鑄造出前無古人、後無來者的絕世好劍。
而在更負盛名的另一個版本中，暴君因為厭惡鑄劍效率的低下而在干將造出寶劍後處死了他，莫邪帶著他們的孩子隱匿在鄉間；多年以後，這個長大成人的孩子與他在路上偶遇的俠士策劃了對暴君的復仇，三人最終同歸於盡。
男子的命運是否也與以上的故事有相似之處？如果有，他犧牲的是自己，夥伴，還是某種理想？
人們不得而知。
人們只知道，為心中之劍，他甘做其骨：以軀為鋼，以血為火。
他打造過萬千利刃，可最終仍是兩手空空，一無所有。
正如他的心象風景。
「但這不就是人生嗎？
「劍可無法停留在一個人手上。你要麼把它束之高閣，要麼把它轉交他人，要麼…就將它用至最後一刻。
「然後，你才能重新開始。」
Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
Kanshou and Bakuya, these twin blades are the man's weapons of choice, continuously reproduced through Projection Magecraft without a second thought for how many break in battle. Theoretically, any armament the man comprehends thoroughly can be "projected as a counterfeit countless times." However, due to some entanglements of karma, the man's Projection magecraft only reaches absolute perfection when creating objects that qualify as "swords."
"Sounds like a merchant selling knockoffs? Well, that's about right."
"It's hardly the most honorable approach, but it's perfectly tailored for dealing with those self-important types who fabricate rules to stand above others and exert their authority."
According to ancient legends, Kanshou and Bakuya were master swordsmiths. A husband-and-wife duo who exhausted every conceivable method attempting to overcome a fundamental limitation: That craftsmen couldn't control the quality of their forged blades, leaving each creation to fate's whims.
From this point, the tale branches into numerous versions. One claims that Bakuya sacrificed herself to the furnace, becoming one with the molten metal, enabling Kanshou to forge blades of unprecedented perfection that would never be equaled.
In the more widely celebrated version, a tyrannical ruler, frustrated by the slow pace of sword forging, executed Kanshou after receiving the masterpiece blades. Then, Bakuya escaped to the countryside with their child. Years later, this grown child encountered a wandering swordsman, and together they plotted revenge against the tyrant, a confrontation where all three ultimately perished together.
Does this man's own destiny mirror these ancient tales? If similarities exist, what did he ultimately sacrifice? Himself, his companions, or perhaps some cherished ideal?
No one knows.
What people do know is that he offered himself as its foundation for the sword residing in his heart — His body serving as steel, his blood as flame.
Though he crafted thousands of blades throughout his journey, in the end, he stood empty-handed, possessing nothing at all.
Just like his mindscapeUnlimited Blade Works.
"But isn't this precisely what life is about?"
"No sword can remain in one person's possession forever. You must either store it away, pass it to another's hands, or... use it until its very last moment."
"And only then, can you truly start again with a clean slate."
