I still don't understand why they call themselves a cult.

The total bracelet weight is 45kg? So each is 11.25kg? Sounds specific.

YOU MAY ONLY CHOOSE ONE WEAPON OF THE THREE, AND IT'S THE ONLY WEAPON YOU WILL EVER USE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! PICKING A SECOND ONE WOULD BE A WASTE OF SKILLPOINTS, YOU SEE!

Appropriate that the adult-child picked the Dao, as he needs to learn the Dao of Not Picking Fights with People Stronger than Oneself.

@Nk9bjP4A Perhaps they're edgelords.

So nothing about the process? He just magically did it? Okay then.

To be frank, they probably call themselves a cult because it's simpler than having them call themselves one thing while the other people in the world call them a cult. If not and the author put just a smidge of extra thought into the naming, it's because the word "cult" didn't necessarily always have negative connotations the way it does now.

cult (n.)
1610s, "worship, homage" (a sense now obsolete); 1670s, "a particular form or system of worship;" from French culte (17c.), from Latin cultus "care, labor; cultivation, culture; worship, reverence," originally "tended, cultivated," past participle of colere "to till" (see colony).

The word was rare after 17c., but it was revived mid-19c. (sometimes in French form culte) with reference to ancient or primitive systems of religious belief and worship, especially the rites and ceremonies employed in such worship. Extended meaning "devoted attention to a particular person or thing" is from 1829.

Cult. An organized group of people, religious or not, with whom you disagree. [Hugh Rawson, "Wicked Words," 1993]
Cult is a term which, as we value exactness, we can ill do without, seeing how completely religion has lost its original signification. Fitzedward Hall, "Modern English," 1873]

Is it just me or is this translation bad.
