Absolute Zero

Absolute Zero is a weapon in SINoALICE.

Weapon Story
There once was an archer of notoriously steady aim. Furthermore, he was an intellectual who preferred solitude to socializing. All agreed his skills were unmatched, as was his care for his bow. In fact, none but he were even allowed to touch it.

One day, the archer was challenged by a youth to a test of skill. The youth went first, piercing a bird that rested atop a tree with his arrow. The archer followed, shooting only the wings from a flying bird, thus grounding it without taking its life. "Perhaps you noticed I shot with my left hand... I am actually right-handed. Shooting properly, I could hit that from five times the distance," the archer said leaving the youth trembling in humiliation.

The archer was eating at a pub one night during his travels when a man tried to snatch his bow. The archer, of course, stopped him with ease. "I...I was just trying to help my sick child. I thought to sell your bow to buy medicine..." The man continued on like this, but the archer ignored his pleas and handed him to the authorities. The excuses of thieves did not concern him.

Some time later, a group of men who had suffered embarrassment at the hands of the archer hired a band of mercenaries to take revenge. They surrounded his lodgings in the middle of the night, but before they could act, arrows began to fly from the darkness. The men fell one after the other, and once all were slain, the archer jumped down from the roof, calm as ever. From that day on, he was revered as a living legend alongside his beloved bow, known only by the name "Absolute Zero."
