The Master was a 30-year-old man who, after dying in a car accident, reincarnates like a sword. It is a “smart weapon” and becomes stronger by absorbing the magic stones that the defeated monsters drop. The master can move using the “move” skill and is also good at cooking. He loves Fran like a daughter.

During the captivity, Fran’s parents died and she was left alone. Over time she became an “anonymous” slave until she met the Master of which she later became the holder.
