Biodata

Power Progression

Miss Sword Case’s documented restoration centers on recovering her swords and memories rather than advancing through numbered martial levels 591 695 1199.

Background / History

Ancient Past

Miss Sword Case was born from the Star Gate and accompanied the ancient gods. The Desolate God studied her body, dream abilities, and Five Elements Flying Swords, recognizing that she could provide a portable, weaker version of the Star Gate’s physical strengthening 591 662.

When the Star Gate needed reforging, she willingly became its core to help her best friend. That friend completed the gate by cutting out their own heart and placing it inside. After the gate was subsequently shattered, she apologized for failing to protect it 977.

Her friend then borrowed all five of her swords for a long-term task. Although warned that separation would erase memories of her children and their friendship, she agreed, asking only that she not be abandoned. The God of the Underworld later sent her to wait at the foot of the mountain. An entire epoch passed before Qin Ze reached her, by which time she had forgotten her past 977 978.

Meeting Qin Ze

Qin Ze encounters her in a ruined temple in Otherworld No. Zero. Unable to leave without someone taking her, she offers protection from Corruption in exchange for his help. Her apparent journey with all five flying swords is eventually exposed as part of the Dream of Sinking, which she repeatedly resets while seeking a contract with him 545 547 549 552 553.

After Qin Ze breaks free, she helps him confront the dangers around Underworld Mountain despite lacking her swords. He takes her out of Otherworld No. Zero, and she accepts rules requiring her to conceal her sentience around outsiders and assist him when doing so does not harm her interests. In return, she asks him to take her to the Land of Origin, remembering that someone entrusted her with a task there but forgetting both the person and the task 553 557 559.

Recovering Her Past

Their travels become a search for both the Land of Origin and her missing swords. Recovering Water Child restores some memories; encountering Supernatural Rules reminds her that she once used them to refine her flying swords. She later reunites with Fire Child in the Molten Steel World 614 633 695 737.

At the ruined Land of Origin, her memories reveal her sacrifice and separation from her children. Qin Ze sees the same visions through their special bond. They realize that her ancient best friend was Qin Ze himself—also known as Master Desolate—and that both had forgotten their earlier friendship 977 978.

In the real Land of Origin, the Divine Tree identifies her as part of the effort to end the chaos and tells her to return after finding the final sword. Once all five are gathered, her memories return completely. The Goddess of Life then transforms her into the Third-Generation Star Gate without permanently depriving her of her original form 997 1199.

Appearance

• Body: A black sword case capable of moving and flying independently 547 559.
• Jewel: A red jewel on her body glows during the use of her powers 552 977.
• Opening: The top opens to receive swords or release Daydream Seeds 605 609.
• Protective glow: A faint white light coats her surface in Chaos and during passage through the Sea of Void 790 810.
• Concealment: Often rides behind Qin Ze, tied to him with a rope and pretending to be an ordinary sword case 559.

Personality

Miss Sword Case is curious, energetic, and easily excited by unfamiliar scenery. On her first apparent outing, she chatters about fog, stones, and the size of the outside world. After growing accustomed to freedom, she finds prolonged confinement and pretending to be an ordinary object increasingly frustrating 548 727 729.

Despite her enthusiasm with Qin Ze, she is deeply socially anxious. Crowds and formal attention make her tremble, and after greeting Qin Ze’s companions she immediately hides behind him. She is especially receptive to genuine sword cultivators, accepting Yao Yuan as a friend after sensing his sword intent 726 841 866.

Friendship is her strongest motivation and greatest vulnerability. She readily accepts Qin Ze’s reassurances, takes pride in their shared secrets, and struggles to refuse requests made in friendship—even unpleasant or sacrificial ones. She nevertheless develops respect for personal boundaries, choosing not to question the true nature of his supposed “war puppets” 563 589 826 1009.

Her attachment to Qin Ze gives an immortal being a fear of death and separation that she had not previously understood. After fearing he would be trapped forever, she insists that he tell her whenever something is wrong 920.

Abilities & Skills

Exceptional Durability

Her exterior withstands powerful attacks without visible damage, making her useful as both a shield and a blunt weapon 547 557 662.

• Qin Ze’s strike at seventy percent strength leaves no scratch 547.
• The Desolate God records that even his full-strength punch cannot mark her 662.
• She emerges unharmed from the goddess’s shattered jade hand 790.
• Limits: She still feels pain. Her interior is fragile against physical occupants, who can force their way out 547 559 687.

Dream Manipulation

She creates, maintains, and interferes with dreams. The Desolate God records that even gods can be affected by her Daydream ability 662.

• Dream of Sinking: Traps beings who enter her body in repeated cycles of the same dream until her demand is fulfilled 552.
• Daydream Seeds: Induce sleep, interfere with dreams, and can be planted to wake a sleeper 605 1161.
• Area sleep: Can affect everyone within range, but is weaker than individual seeds, produces unstable sleep, and only guarantees Qin Ze’s immunity 605.
• Dream destruction: Her Daydream Bomb breaks through the layered dream trapping Qin Ze at its fiftieth level 766.
• Limits: Qin Ze’s clones wake him from Dream of Sinking through the Local Area Network. Meng Die’s more stable dream withstands repeated Daydream Seed bombardment, forcing them to search for its core 553 1105.

Sword Nurturing

She temporarily strengthens swords placed inside her, increasing their sharpness and sword intent within minutes 608 609.

• Qin Ze’s nurtured bone greatsword develops a faint Spirit that guides his grip, striking angle, and power output 609.
• The first strike is strongest; the enhancement then rapidly fades 610.
• Cost: Ordinary nurtured swords suffer immense backlash and eventually shatter, effectively spending their future potential in advance 610.
• Her original flying swords can also be nurtured, though restoring depleted sword intent takes longer 615 639.

Five Elements and Star Gate Power

Her five swords represent metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Together, they are the root of her power and complete her Star Gate-like form 662.

• Their elemental power gradually strengthens the body of someone carrying her, reproducing the Star Gate’s effect more slowly and weakly 662.
• She can place a seal on Qin Ze to let him command a recovered sword 737.
• Water Child and Fire Child together create a field that blocks Otherworld No. Zero’s Corruption 892.
• As the Third-Generation Star Gate, she can create approximately five Star Gods daily and change forms whenever she wishes 1199.

Protected Transport and Dream Storage

She can carry Qin Ze inside her body and cross environments he cannot safely traverse alone, including the Sea of Void 547 810.

• The Dream God identifies her as capable of housing the Illusion Race’s Spirit Walkers inside a self-contained dream 687.
• Spirit bodies do not threaten her fragile interior as physical beings do, and she retains control of the dream 687.

Supernatural Knowledge and Perception

Her recovered memories provide knowledge of ancient artifacts, rules, and worlds 575 633 964.

• Recognizes the Chronicle of Time despite initially forgetting its former owner 575.
• Identifies magical animals as Supernatural Rules and frightens them into clearing a path 633.
• Detects soul-power theft and distinguishes the competing forces acting on a village and its surrounding forest 668.
• Recognizes a world embryo and explains its lengthy natural maturation 964.
• Limits: Her missing swords impair her memory, and Chaos Beast conditions can prevent her from sensing Qin Ze even when he is directly before her 695 931.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

Five Elements Flying Swords

She treats the swords as her children, calling herself their mother and fiercely protecting them from others’ attention 549 729 997.

• Dream depiction: Her early five-sword assault on Wandering Corpses—using cutting leaves, a fire dragon, earth trenches, multiplying blades, and a towering wave—occurs within Dream of Sinking. She does not possess the complete set upon returning to reality 549 552 555.
• Ancient purpose: Sanmu states that each elemental sword was assigned to suppress a Strange Beast, with the Sword Bearers’ locations kept secret 736 737.

Relationships

• Qin Ze / Master Desolate — Her best friend in both the ancient past and present. Their special bond allows him to witness her memories; her restored memories confirm that the two identities belong to the same friend 560 977 978 1199.
• Five Elements Flying Swords — Her cherished “children.” Their prolonged separation causes her memory loss, while their reunion restores her completeness 695 977 1199.
• God of the Underworld — Sends her to wait for her best friend at the mountain’s foot after the ancient catastrophe 977 978.
• Goddess of Life — An acquaintance from her ancient visits to the Land of Origin. Miss Sword Case dislikes her cold treatment of Qin Ze, though the goddess later enables her Third-Generation Star Gate form 1199.
• Yao Yuan — A new friend she accepts after recognizing his extraordinary sword intent. They greet one another by touching sword intent 866.
• Sanmu — The ancient guardian of Fire Child. He recognizes her immediately, although she initially cannot remember him 736 737.
• Communion — Identifies her as a fellow being born of chaos. She does not remember him, but leaves him a wooden keepsake depicting herself and a sword 1094.
• World Stone — Her occasional conversation partner during her confinement; much of her early knowledge of the world comes from it 546.
