Since the forge was built, it needed to be equipped with the most important things. First of all, you need fuel to make a powerful fire, and you need iron ore or iron ingots to make iron. If you look at some alternative history novels, there are many cases where you have a lot of trouble getting bituminous coal to fuel here.
But in the 21st century where I live, that’s not that difficult. So I have already saved some bituminous coal. It’s a different name in the blacksmithing technique imprinted on me, but it’s not difficult to see that it refers to bituminous coal.
Retrieving it wasn’t too difficult. Now I need iron ore or iron, but I’ve been hunting Minotaurs intensively and I’ve been collecting their axes. It is actually not difficult to bring in iron ore from outside. There is a way to just buy iron ingots, or you can buy steel. Because in modern times, there is nothing that cannot be done with money.
But the reason why I dare to use the Minotaur’s ax is simple. This is because the iron of this ax is not ordinary iron. If you look at the Minotaur’s axe, there is a part that says, ‘It is an ax made of iron from the island.’ The story is that the ax itself was made of iron from this island.
There are many good things that come out of the island. So I thought maybe this ax was better than the iron I bought outside the railroad. So, first of all, I started melting the axes.
All of my actions are based on Burtia blacksmithing skills. It wasn’t much different from what I memorized from watching You Tube, but there are many different things in detail.
After going through this and that process, the stage of finally making a sword. I focused on hammering without thinking. By hammering like this, the perfection of the sword is improved. The dwarves in the novel appear to be doing their best in this process, but that was real.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
When noise is heard at regular intervals, at some point it becomes difficult to recognize it. I think my condition is like that now. Doing this also makes me feel like I am healing myself in some way. When a person concentrates on something, even if the work is a little difficult, the mind becomes at ease. Healing doesn’t mean that the mind is at ease in the end. And one of the things that heals me the most is this.
– Strength increased by 1 due to continued labor.
– Stamina increased by 1 due to continued labor.
-Due to continuous labor…

These notifications that you post from time to time make me happy. Currently, my job is a point that I get when I level up, but I cannot raise strength or agility. So I thought maybe it wasn’t climbing at all, but fortunately it wasn’t. Seeing your strength and stamina go up like this. It would be nice if agility would increase, but unfortunately agility does not rise. It makes sense if you think about it. Because hammering and agility have nothing to do with each other.
After hammering for about five hours, his strength and stamina rose by 13 and 14. And finally, the first sword was completed.
– Burtia blacksmith beginner (active) skill has risen to level 3.
I examined the sword I made by observation.
-You used the Observation skill.
Item: Steel Sword (level 3).
Attack Power: 73-97.
Effect: Sword skill level +2, Strength +4.
A sword made of iron from the island. Made with Burtia blacksmithing technology, it has greater power than swords of the same class. It’s not very good because it’s a blacksmithing skill that hasn’t been mastered yet. Mana conduction rate is very high.
There was no beginner’s luck or anything like that. But I still think it’s not a bad sword. At least it’s much better than a mana tree wooden sword.
“not bad. Make a couple more and it will get better. I have something to make first.”
Now that the sword is complete, isn’t the next thing to make is the armor? not. I have to make what I need most. that’s right.
“I need to make a lighter. You can’t do something out of shape using magic with matches!”
How do you make a lighter? First of all, I disassembled the famous Zippo lighter and brought in a few. Because it is possible to bring it in.
“How can I make this driving unit? What’s funny is that Burtia’s blacksmithing skills can make machinery like this.”
Speaking of dwarves, it is natural that they usually make these things. Isn’t that the case with the original novel? Of course, since I’ve never seen a dwarf myself, it’s difficult to say that’s true. Even if that’s the case, what’s the problem?
Zippo lighters are harder to make than I thought, and it wasn’t difficult either. It took five hours to make the sword, but twelve hours to complete the Zippo lighter. The good news though is that it did in the end.
“Ha ha ha ha! They are all dead!”
The game is over. My greatest weapon isn’t my steel sword, it’s this lighter.
Reiter’s observations yielded no other explanation. One explanation that it is just a lighter. But importantly, the system also recognized it as a lighter.
Machinery does not work inside the gate. I vaguely knew that. But the fishing rod, which was much more complicated than the lighter, worked. Looking at the driving part, the fishing rod is much more sophisticated and complex than the lighter.
“Then what is the difference between these two?”
I made several hypotheses in this part. And one thing I think is the most appropriate.
“A fishing rod cannot be a weapon, but a lighter can be a weapon. It is difficult to call a lighter itself a weapon, but making fire with it can lead to destruction.”
Nyaang?
“Can’t you hit it with a fishing rod? That’s a sharp point. But in the first place, then the club shouldn’t be usable here, right?”
Nyaang.
Hoya lay down as if he didn’t understand. Anyway, that’s the hypothesis I was thinking of.
Risks.
It is difficult to see a fishing rod as a dangerous object, but an object with a simple moving part such as a lighter can be dangerous. I think this might be it. Of course, this is just my opinion.
The interesting thing is that there are no restrictions on what I have implemented in this world. like this.
profit!
The lighter lights up. I really didn’t know how good this simple thing was on Earth. It is not difficult to light a fire using Firesteel. But it goes without saying that this is much more convenient.
There is a theory that the lighter that became the model in the first place was made because soldiers smoked cigarettes during the war and the lighters did not work. It is said that there is no such thing as not turning on the light as long as the oil is well fed.
“Everyone is dead! Now I just need to make the armor.”
Armor cannot be made from scratch like full plate mail. I decided to make an armor that could lightly protect my heart. It didn’t take very long to make it. Roughly, the shape is similar to the shape of the armor worn on the upper body of noblemen shouting ‘Sparta’.
“Hoya! Wouldn’t this be an entrance cut?”
Hoya looks at me carefully at my words. And I’ll try to hit my armor with my front paws. Hitting it hurts. But I’m a pro, so I don’t pretend to be sick. Thanks to that, Hoya allowed it.
Nyan!
It is said to be good to enter. With Hoya’s permission, I headed to the entrance of the forest with my friends.
Ride on the Kkamangi, wear the Midnight Sun by your side, and Karak is also by your side. I was going to burn Karak in the midnight sun, but I couldn’t because Karak was scared. I didn’t like the white night either, so I didn’t bother. The reason I brought them all is simple.
“Because I’m scared of being alone!”
Alone is scary. No wonder. so go together When I grow up, they should grow up too.
“Let’s go in.”
Looking around, I am the only one who is nervous. Come to think of it, this is natural. Because these are the kids who originally lived there.
When you step into the forest like that, amazing things happen. There is talk that the world has changed, but the real world has changed.
***
It’s just one step. When you step in, it is a different world. This is an area where you can’t be on an island.
why?
“Because it’s a jungle.”
What I vaguely thought was a forest was a jungle. It’s like the Amazon region you saw in some documentary?
“Hoya, is this right inside the forest?”
Nyaang!
That’s right. And when I look around, I feel various eyes. The owner of that gaze.
pop! Kiek!
It was a goblin. According to the rule of winning first, I shot my bow straight away, and two goblins were pierced and killed.
“Guys, kill them all!”
At my words, Karak jumps at the goblins, brandishing his sword with a different confidence than usual. The same goes for the white night. even blackheads.
Hoya sits on my shoulder and watches them. I always feel it, but he uses my shoulder as if he were a bird, and he doesn’t feel any weight at all. Our Hoya is always a lovely guy who is light as a feather. That’s how I look at Hoya with lovely eyes, but Hoya’s expression is distorted.
Nyaang?
“What are you doing? You are prettier.”
puck!
Hoya blows the back of my head. it hurts terribly
Nyan! Nyan Nyang! Nyan Nyang!
“Why are you playing? Ah Okay.”
I raised my bow at Hoya’s words. And started hunting goblins.
***
Almost wiped out one goblin tribe. Thanks to that, my level went up by 1, and the kids also leveled up a bit. Karak examined the corpses of the dead goblins to see if there was anything useful. Karak picked things up and put them all together. There doesn’t seem to be anything very useful, but the metal fittings seem to be there. I think I need to melt these down to make weapons for Karak and take care of some armor.
The kid was too naked. And I’m thinking of making my own armor for Kkamangi and Baekya. I thought it would be better if they put on something.
We cleared the battlefield and started preparing for the next one. Checking weapons, making sure this area is safe.
Since the terrain is like a jungle, it is important to secure safety and establish a base. Because from now on I have to grow myself in this forest. What Hoya wants is for me to level up. Although I don’t know how much I want to level up.
“Karak. Where do your friends live?”
Karak flinched at my words. uh? I think he misunderstood me for some reason.
“So, spear your tribe… no, not to hunt. Just curious. Best of all, I don’t want to annihilate your tribe.”
I never thought of that. Just to the point of wanting Karak to bring in some useful ones?
flinch.
Is this Shiki reading my thoughts? suddenly do something else
“Shall we talk?”
Big, big kick.
Karak rolls his eyes in fright.
