Right at the end of his life. Cien, who he thought was going to die, turned out to be remembering all of his previous life on Earth. With new memories and a cellphone now in his hands, Cien is determined to survive to be reunited with his family. It's just that, different from the cheats he usually read, he only gets the game managing a shop as a weapon for survival. "Are you crazy?! What kind of madman would shop in such a godforsaken place?!"

Beginner Pack

For two hours, Cien explored every function of his new application. And it was during those two hours that he learned that the app couldn't do anything.

Lying on the bed with a face that is increasingly gloomy and dark. With a blank stare, Cien looked at the recipe section in the application. In the recipe section, he can see hundreds if not thousands of recipes for making something.

Starting from weapons, potions, furniture, clothes to accessories. Everything can be seen except there is only one part that is still locked so it can't be seen. Maybe it's the part that tells him how to make something like a mystical class weapon.

All those recipes are very useful. Even Cien felt that if he was selling a single recipe for crafting unique quality weapons. He was sure he could get a lot of money from it.

The problem is, he couldn't get out of Death Valley!

Then Cien thought that he might be able to make those recipes by himself. Like a game that can make everything automatic as long as there are ingredients. However, when he opened a recipe with common quality. He could see every step he had to make.

Read each of these steps. Cien immediately realized.

'I have to make it manually.'

Cien fell into a slump. He is immensely grateful to his cell phone and apps for giving him a better home. But it seems that's all the magical abilities of the cheat it has.

The rest, he has to do it alone. There were no instructions or missions like the system cheats usually he had read about in online novels.

"Sigh~ let alone making weapons or potions. Just finding the ingredients is already impossible."

If Cien really wants to find ingredients according to the recipe. Not only did he not know his own place was located, his own strength was also unable to make him last long exploring the scary forest of Death Valley.

"Heh, it looks apart from this home. My life wouldn't be much different…"

Cien turned off his cell phone. Putting it on the nightstand beside the bed, then he began to let himself be embraced by the blanket and then fell asleep into the world of dreams.

Exactly at midnight where the day will change.

Ding!

Cien, who was still in the warmth of the dream world, didn't realize that his phone was on. He slept soundly until the sun had risen.

When he woke up, Cien sat up in bed with a confused look. He looked around at the unfamiliar room.

After two minutes his mind went blank. Only then did he realize that yesterday's incident wasn't a dream.

"I got a shop from my phone!"

Initially Cien felt relieved because now he really got a decent place to live. But…

'Shop… heh, hehe, hehehe…'

He could only laugh dryly in the end. Given his powerlessness to use the majority of the space in this place.

Cien massaged his forehead, then got up from the bed. He walked to the bathroom to clean his face from the dirt. Returned to the bedroom after feeling refreshed, and then he was surprised to find the bed sheet dirty with bits of dirt and dust.

"..."

He then remembered that his body and clothes were always incomparably dirty.

"Ugh, I hope there are spare sheets in the cupboard," he muttered, opening the cupboard drawers in the room. And he was relieved to find there were two other sheets in the drawer.

He took and replaced the dirty sheets, and the mattress was back like new. Seeing that, the smile on his face couldn't stop showing.

After being quite satisfied to see his bed. Only then did he glance at his cell phone on the nightstand. He took it and turned it on. Surprised himself when he found the '!' symbol on the gift box icon.

Cien did not hesitate to immediately open the Gift Box.

[Beginner Pack]

When he saw the contents of the gift box, he immediately knew what the gift meant. Beginner pack, a gift that is usually given by developers to new players. He didn't think that he would get the same thing.

Cien couldn't wait to see what was in the Beginner Pack he got. He opened it and saw that there were several things inside.

__________

[Beginner Pack]

- 5x Healing Potion

- 5x Mana Potion

- 5x Antidote

- 5x Mana Core

- Forgotten God Shield Formation.

__________

Cien was stunned to see the five contents of the Beginner Pack. Healing potions, mana potions and antidotes aren't anything too fancy, in fact these three items are things that adventurers often use. So it's not strange that the three potions are prizes for beginners in a game.

What took Cien by surprise were two other objects. Mana core, this thing is one of the rarest items in the Kastia Continent.

Mana cores can be found in mana stone mines, but the difference is, the chances of people finding these things are about a million to one compared to regular mana stones.

Looking for the core in a pile of mana stones is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The function of the mana core itself is the same as a battery. If the mana stone can only expel mana before finally fading into powder after all its energy is used up.

The mana core will not be destroyed even if all of the mana or energy is used up. The mana core could either replenish its mana from the atmosphere or be infused directly by someone.

Mana Core is one of the most coveted things for weapons or accessories makers. Due to the mana core, weapons and accessories can have magical powers.

Those who use the magical weapons with mana cores could carry out lethal attacks without depleting their own mana. Examples of magical weapons that Cien knows are, fire swords, electric spears, and flying cloaks.

Cien didn't expect that he would get five Mana Cores all of a sudden.

For the last thing. Cien did not know about it, but only from the name of the Forgotten God. He already knew that it must be something really amazing.

Because the Forgotten God is a God who is believed to rule over Hell. Cien touched the icon of the Forgotten God Shield Formation to see a description of the item.

__________

[Forgotten God Shield Formation]

There are five stakes created from the bones and tusks of Helios, the dragon who guards the gates of Hell. Which was then forged by the God of Fire, before finally the five stakes that had been made were blessed by the power of the Forgotten God.

When four stakes are laid out in a square shape with the fifth being the core in the square. Then whatever is in the square formation will be protected by a protective layer from the Forgotten God.

Any creature up to Rank King would not be able to destroy this formation!

___________

"! … This is such a good thing!"

Cien was happy after reading the function of the Forgotten God Shield Formation. Because with this thing, the place where he lives can be much safer than before.

You could even say that his residence could be the only safe zone in the entire Death Valley.

Cien couldn't wait to stick those five stakes around his house right away. He then looked for a way to be able to receive the object in the cell phone.

He found the camera icon under the Beginner Pack list. He pressed the icon, then pointed it at the empty space in the room.

Seconds later, miraculously, objects appeared out of thin air in front of him. Cien approached the objects that were now lying on the floor. He made sure that all the objects were the same as the ones he had read.

Cien smiled broadly as he saw a pitch-black stake with a blood-red tip about fifty centimeters long.

"Nice, let's put this up right now!"
