I didn't think that she is a fan of weapons. I did not expect the weapon that I have process and created would be this overpowered. I don't think I could sell it any cheaper than one gold.

Furthermore, if the dark guild knows about this, they could remold my creation and use it against me.

[User power will disappear if there are changes to the establishment that user has created.]

That's convenient. System, is there a way to remove my enchantment if someone sly enough to resell my creation?

[It is doable, but you need to be precise in your condition. I do not have the power to detect a change of money, but I can identify a different owner.]

That's great. I am very thankful.

[Hmph! Now you know how powerful I am.]

Yes, yes.

"Raul? Are you even listening to me?"

"Sorry, I was thinking about something else."

For some reason, I had managed to tame her by giving away my sword. She seems very attached to the sword. I even told her that it is one of my fail creation.

She didn't mind. In fact, she loves seeing a scary face on the handle. She became polite and started to call my name, better than being pointed at or called as you.

"I heard you are going to open up a shop to sell goods? Is this one of the items?"

"Yes, it is one of those, but I doubt normal people could even afford them."

"Of course, the price of this sword might even bankrupt a lower noble."

"Yea… Yea… Eh!? Bankrupt, I don't think lower noble…"

"What are you talking about? A mithril dagger cost about ten thousand gold, I don't know about a sword but if that mithril dagger were to be auction off its price could rise to twenty-five thousand gold."

"That's so expensive for a sword that could take up only fifty percent of your power."

"Haha Raul, you're funny. Compare to a normal sword that can only bear five percent and your sword that could maximize my power up to eighty-five percent. Furthermore, it could store my mana inside it. People would be willing to die to get their hands on one of these."

She is so helpful. I could allow her to use my sword and give me feedback and how I could advertise and maximize my profit. This is greater than I expected. Earning hundreds of gold will allow me to create my very own orphanage!

"Miri, I've got an offer to make."

"What kind of offer?"

"Would you like to work for me?"

"Hmm… What kind of job? The salesperson is a definite no for me."

"I am still thinking about it, but basically your job is to give me feedback on the various weapon that I will be making. As I do not have any experience in handling all of the weapons, I need you to tell me how to improve it and what kind of power it has so that people don't misuse it."

"That's…"

"Another part of your job is to guard the orphanage in future. Of course, you won't be alone. I would hire more of your squad so that you guys can be together."

Seeing Miri let go of the rope made me scared of my life, she turned to me looking very thankful and started shaking my hand profusely.

"Please! Hire me!"

"Yes Miri, I will, but I hope we won't die before that."

"Eh?"

"The Rope…"

"What rope?"

Miri turned her head around. She started to panic. The carriage was heading towards the castle wall.

"Arghhh!! Stupid Raul! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

~

She manages to avoid the worst scenario, but the carriage still took damage.

"By the way, I'm curious."

"What?"

"Why did you insist on taking this werewolf and the wolves?"

"Miri take a long look at your sword."

"Huh?"

It seems Miri isn't that stupid. She started to smile idiotically.

"You, you mean it is made up of bone?"

"Yup, I don't use ores."

Yea, it feels like I become the character in the game of m*nster h*nter. Using a monster as the ingredient for the creation of weapons.

"This is great! You won't be taken advantage of other merchants!"

"Most importantly do not let other people know what they are made off."

"Raul you are brilliant but stupid!"

Oi, why are you adding some unnecessary comments?

The only bad things now are we were forced to queue to get inside the Kingdom. I was lucky as I had received my own identification pass. Eliza was forced to do it for me, I was told it was a request from Anderson but seeing how Eliza was reluctant to do it made me think of how she still hasn't given up on making me her scapegoat husband.

The pass looks simple enough, it has a picture of me and includes my name and the person that has created it for me. Wait…

"T-The princess created the pass for you!?"

"... Yeah"

She is really sly huh.

"Woah Raul, I didn't think the princess was that close with you?"

"Not really."

"You should have told me earlier."

"Why?"

"So we could cut queue!"

"Eh? Oh yeah… But it's kind of bad."

"Who cares, times are precious! I can't wait to see the various swords that you have been making all this while!"

I am speechless, didn't know that this lady would rather misuse her own princess reputation.

The first step is to go to the adventurer guild. To sell the meat of these monster that Miri had defeated. They were shocked and impressed at the strength of Miri. She looks proud of herself, but she can't help to whisper to me that it is the sharpness of the sword that saved her.

It seems werewolf is a rank A monster during the full moon and it's rare to see how it appears during the day. Most of the people blame it on the fact that the demon king had been reborn. The monster becomes arrogant because of these. I pity the demon king, it's not like it is its order but being hated and blame for just being reborn is lame.

The humans just want someone to blame huh. At the right timing, Jason came back with his guild members. It seems they had hunted a lot of monsters. They were delighted to see me. He immediately runs towards me. It created much chaos to see one of the famous guild managers to have a relationship with a newbie like me.

Miri was stun as Jason was the veteran commander that led thousands of adventurers during the plight when a vast invasion that had happened at the western border. Her squad was almost annihilated but was saved by him.

At the same time, I just realize there were only a few people in the guild. After asking, I was told that the summoned hero had made his first appearance. Most of the people have gone to follow and see what he can do.

To be honest, I was a bit uneasy. I am hoping it is someone that I don't recognize. Miri, on the other hand, was tugging at me to go and see him. As she couldn't get away from me. She was apparently ordered by Anderson to be my bodyguard. I didn't think Anderson would hire a woman or is it because I'm gay and none of the guys volunteer to help.

In any case, I rather have a woman to guard me. Laughing to myself I told Miri that we should start selling the ones that I have already created. Another thing to be shocked was how much monsters they had collected.

I was also escorted by Jason to a place that is full of bones, and there was a fireplace nearby. I was caught off-guard by them, and they express their joy on how they can help to start my business.

Miri joined them by showing off her sword that I had passed to her. I was once again shown the embarrassing moments of how they prostrate and beg me for the same sword. Instead of the scary face, they want the handle to be shaped as Eliza.

I could do it but, it might make them too powerful, and there might be consequences. I didn't want the summon hero to come and threaten me to give me a sword to him. Also, Eliza figure will weirdly be in touch. I didn't want to go there, and I should ask her permission first.

I told them that Miri was hired by Anderson and her job was to test the sword that I will be making. Why Anderson name? So, they won't continue to beg at me to hire them. After being turned down, they got out and said good luck in creating more of those creations.

I thanked them, and at the same, I told Miri to book her own room by asking Jason. She said that she could stay in one place with me. I was speechless, but then she continued on how I am gay, so she wouldn't worry about me jumping on her.

I didn't want to take any chances and immediately told her that I swing both ways. If Anderson were to find out, I don't think I could survive her wrath. Miri glanced at me and said okay.

What is okay?

Anyway, after she got out, I decided to make changes to the items. I made the weapon much smaller, and the blade is inwards so that it couldn't be used as a weapon. Lastly, I imbued a condition on the weapon so that if someone tried to make any changes to the weapon, it would immediately be destroyed.

Another condition will be how anyone that bought items from me would need to drip blood so that the item would be recognized. Anyone other than the owner that touch the item without his permission could be cursed.

Unless it is his family members or someone he knows even at that point, another condition will have appeared, never the less the owner will be notified, and they could even tell where it was currently.

The owner could decide to get it back or go to me to have it destroyed, but he needs to be fast if the stolen item were sold, it would immediately get destroyed. The system will know through the feeling of a new owner.

There is more condition that was imbued in the item. There's even serial number and my signature on the item so that nobody could say that it was them that made it.

The system notified me that I should process everything first before finally embedding all of them at once. A great idea and I should create a list for anyone that would like to buy my item.

Hopefully, the garden of shadow doesn't strike again.
