People trying to just put legendary swords back where they found them will never be not funny.

 

[Fmeza08]

I feel like I’ve read this chapter 3 times already

 

[DeadKinginHell]

This will create conflict. That Alice, temporary user, will be claimed as eternal, complete user of the sword, and not the MC. This is the effect of the MC putting the sword back now.

Wait…who’s alice again?

Wait…who’s alice again?

The little girl who wanted to marry our MC back 200 years ago who he also gave some of his blood to when she was sick before he reincarnated.

Girl suicide to reincarnate

Are you telling me that Alice was stabbed by the sword one year after Nosferatu got stabbed by it, and then coincidentally reincarnated into the same period of time as him?
Coincidence after coincidence, isn't that convenient.

No, that reincarnated is 1 time use only ( MC ), it implying that after the sword register old MC as it lord ( that make only mc can use it ) 1 year after that Alice wield that sword, still can't prove alice still alive tho

 

[Hibikin]

Or i might be wrong and in actuality Alice is reincarnated but not complete yet, hence there's no " reincarnated " in alice user list

 

[Qwaser5r]

I remember reading somewhere some sopilers for the situation with Alice... but damn, i forgot it all
Someone here can spoiler a bit?

Did it mention "one time use"? I mean, under the name of Alice, said she used the sword 199 years ago, a year after MC's reincarnation. Why they use the term "used" instead of "reincarnation"? Maybe she used it to fight evil or used it to kill herself? Then, why would they bother mentioning "same period as my lord's reincarnation"? Wild guess, what it meant by "used" is she probably kill herself with it and since she has the blood of MC, she was considered as a part of him thus resulting to her being able to use the sword and ends up using the effect reincarnating a good person, even tho it was already used, just a maybe, it can be used by the same person. Ircc the princess has similarities with Alice and maybe she was the reincarnation of Alice. Since she was only temporary user that somehow can be considered a part of MC, only her spirit was reincarnated, and her memories wasn't included unlike the MC.

It's probably a lot less clear on the actual meaning due to the translation. In Japanese, it probably wasn't very specific either, but English will give it an entirely different connotation.

Would need to ask the translator if it meant that "it had an effect which has been used already" or "it has this effect which had been used once before"

The latter would mean that Alice would have reincarnated into the future like he has, and that is a record of all the users reincarnated with the weapon.

Hate the whole.
You found a super duper secret and it will lead to a revolution of history. Then this fcker just say. Let's keep a secret to ourselves. Especially when the mc is involve.

I think you guys have all got the right idea in general, but only in bits and pieces.

The following is just me spitballin' here, so take it with a grain of salt.

One scenario I can see is that because of Nosferatu's blood, she became incredibly powerful as an adult, and thus became the ruler of the country as well as the wielder of that sword. I could also see that it would have been likely that, just like the sword told Nosferatu about its history of previous users, it may have told Alice the same... And she would have been perfectly happy with being only a "temporary user" because, in this case, she would have also known that he'd eventually be back for the sword.

AND THEN it somehow got out that she had Nosferatu's blood in her. Maybe something like her maintaining her youthful looks for an unusually long time and living longer than she should have or something? And so she was declared as some kind of heretic by these Elysium fuckers. They would have then ordered her execution, and that would have likely been the big trigger to send the world into chaos. Because by this time she would have had to already have established her family line. Otherwise there would be no descendants for the MC to run into later on. And thus the chaos because you just can't kill off an entire line of Royals who were apparently well-favored with just "Because we say so!" as your excuse. Especially if her children and grandchildren have already been intermarrying into other Royal Families and having children there.

Meanwhile the sword is like, "Oh, you too, huh? Well, I may not be able to do it quite as well as I did for him - you only have a tiny bit of his power - but I can give you another shot at things."

 

[aZeke]

The translation says that the reincarnation is a one-time-use ability, and it was spent on MC 200 years ago, and Alice was registered as a wielder of the sword one year later. That's it.

Ever since the princess was introduced in chapter 7, I'd always thought that Alice had suffered a cruel fate at the hands of the kingdom. She'd be captured as a witch, and for gaining control of her powers, she'd be forcibly married into royalty. That, OR, she was kept as a slave in some basement, and similar to Ymir in Shingeki no Kyojin, she'd be raped by the king over and over until a heir was produced, after which she was killed. Thus, cutting any connection to the Feera village..

BUT.. you can re-read chapter 13 for the princess' explanation about her family circumstances, as she knows it from hearsay. The unnamed predecessor of her grandmother, who lived for who knows how long, was most definitely hinted as being Alice.

Thank you for the upload! This has quietly become one of my favorite series, so I really apparent it continuing to be worked on.
