Red Flowers! (1)

...

After a few minutes of running, I arrive at the two trees where I plan to build my base

I approach, and notice that several branches are scattered on the ground some of them are broken

"As I expected, some monster managed to find, those pieces of meat...If I knew he was going to destroy the branches, I wouldn't have even tried to hide those little pieces of meat!

Damn it! I spent a reasonably long time collecting these branches! Sigh! Now, it has happened, and there is nothing, I can do to change that!"

I get a little depressed and start mourn for 'death' of the branches, which have been broken

After about five minutes, I finally get over it, and I shift my gaze from the broken branches to the big trees

So, full of joy, and with my eyes practically sparkle with excitement, I start to think

'I'm finally going to build my base! Wait, for some reason... Every time I tried to do that, something ended up hindering me!

Maybe that happens because of my bad luck Nah, It must be just a coincidence!

Anyway! First, I'm going to build tools, to help during the construction!'

I start walking towards the area where I had made a pile of bones

However, after just a few steps, I freeze when looking at the place

I freeze, because in the place where I left the bones, now there is only a golden powder scattered on the floor

"What the fuck! Where the hell are my bones! Wait a minute, that sentence got weird! Maybe it would be better if I said: Where the hell are Light's bones! No, that way it seems, that Light's bones are his! Well, they are his! However, they also belong to me!

So... where the hell are the bones that belonged to Light when he was alive, but now that I killed him, belong to me!

No, it got even weirder! You know what... Fuck this!"

I approach the site and start looking at the ground looking for some bones

After carefully observing the area I can find only one golden bone

I start looking at the bone and notice some abnormalities on its surface

"Oh, the bone all scratched, and his ends are gnawed! As if, someone had started to eat it! So that means... Damn it!

Someone ate my bones! Motherfucker! When I find this bone thief, I will kill him!"

Filled with rage, I put the bone on the floor, and return to the place where the bones should be, to analyze the golden powder on the floor

I bend down and run my fingers through the powder, to feel its texture

"As I expected this is bone powder! It must have fallen to the ground, while the thief ate my bones! Oh, now that I look closely, this powder seems to be going in that direction! Huehuehue! Well well well that's where you went, you bastard thief!"

I quickly get up off the floor, and full of anger I start to walk in the direction the golden powder path points

However, I stop after only a few steps, I look at the path for a few seconds, and then I sigh

"Sigh! You know what… fuck this! If I do this, I will end up leaving the construction of my base for later, and I don't want to do that again! I don't even know, if I follow this trail, I will find the thief! Moreover, even though most of the bones was stolen, with just that piece, I can make the tool I need!"

After reaching that conclusion, I walk to the bone, pick it off the ground, and start thinking

"To make a basic tool, it will do! However, it is too small to make a spear! After all, I want a spear made entirely of bones and not just the blade!

When I think like that, I think it would be impossible to make the spear even if they hadn't stolen the bones!

Because none of those bones fit the size criteria! Sigh! It seems that the world is trying to make me stop being a Lancer and change my class!

Anyway! Let's make the coolest tool ever... a Machete!"

I close my eyes as I start thinking about this wonderful tool

'This is the coolest tool! Because with her, besides being able to cut things, well... I can cut more things!

I always wanted to have one! However, whenever I tried to buy one, my parents or that T-Rex routed out of nowhere and stopped me! They said that taking into account how I dress, I would probably end up being arrested if I walked the streets holding a machete! Come on, it's obvious that it wouldn't happen! After all, I would never walk the streets holding a machete... I would walk with at least holding two machetes!'

"Huehuehue! I want to see them try to stop me now!"

"Okay, I think it's time to use this Skill!"

I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and relax my mind

After a few seconds I open my eyes and say

"<Basic Smithing>!"

As soon as I say that name, my head starts to ache slightly, and just like the time I activated Skill <Basic Tailoring>

My head starts to be filled with the knowledge necessary to make the item I want

Realizing this, I close my eyes and focus on this new knowledge

After a few seconds, my head stops hurting

So I start to organize the new knowledge that now exists in my head

As soon as I finish doing this, I open my eyes and with a bright smile I whisper to myself

"I see, so this is what I need to do!"

I start walking towards a stone that is lying on the ground while I think

'As I don't have the necessary equipment to melt and forge the bone in a machete. I can only scratch and sharpen the bone until it is shaped like one!

Well, that's not exactly what I had in mind when I thought of making a bone machete! However, taking into account my working conditions, this is the best I will get here!'

I reach down to pick up a stone from the floor

Then using it, I start to scrape the bone to the shape of a machete

...

After a few minutes of scraping the bone, I finally get satisfied with its shape and stop

"Phew! My hands were already starting to hurt! Okay, now that I have left it in the shape of a machete, I just need to sharpen! Then, I can start construction! However, before me start sharpening that..."

Still holding the piece of bone or rather, my machete

I walk to the place where I had put the Light's fur.

"Thankfully, the thief didn't steal that either! If he had, I really would have chased him!"

I start looking at the fur, to select a piece of leather that is not very large

After select one, using the stone, I start cutting the piece, and turn it into several strips

As soon I finished cutting, I start to wrap these strips on the end of the bone, where the handle of the machete will be

After doing that, I start to swing the piece of bone, trying to see if it slips from my hand

"Yeap! With that, I am not at risk of the machete slipping, when my hands are sweaty! Now only sharpening remains!"

I walk over to the stone I used to sharpen my spear, sit down, and pick it up off the ground

"Sigh! If I continue to use this stone to sharpen things... in the end it will become sharper than any other weapon! With that, I can create my own Sect! This sect will be called... The Stone Path! Nah!"

I support the tip of the bone on the floor

Then slide the stone over the surface of the bone, going from top to bottom, with the intention of sharpening the bone

I repeat this action thousands of times

After a long time doing this, I stop and start checking the bone

Using my finger, I start to touch the edge of the bone, and check if it is sharp enough.

"Oh, It's already sharp! However, I feel like it's not sharp enough for me to say: This is the sharpest machete in the world!

In fact, I can, after all this is probably the only machete in this world!

Anyway! I will continue for a while, and make it much sharper! Yeah, let's sharpen!"

I put the end of the bone on the ground, and sharpen the edge with the stone

After a few more minutes I stop, and check the bone again

"Yeah! That's what I'm talking! It's much better now! This is the sharpest machete in the world!"

After checking the machete for a few more seconds, I decide to name the item

"I think I'm going to name this item! Hmm ... oh, I already know a good name! Okay, from now on, this machete is named... Chunchunmaru!"

As soon as I say that, I hear a beep ring in my head followed by notifications

[New item created successfully... Chunchunmaru!]

"..."

<Chunchunmaru >

[A knife made using the Bones of a Light-Beam Wolf (Bronze) and Leather of a Light-Beam Wolf (Bronze)]

[Damage: 15-20]

[Defense: None]

[Durability: 50/50]

[Item Requirements: 15 STR, 10 DEX]

[Additional Bonus: None]

[Item Rank: Common (13%)]

(Note: The materials used in the manufacture of this item are of medium-low level.

However, its creator has only one basic skill level [Smithing].

This resulted in the creation of an item with a Rank, a lower level than expected)

"Oh, I didn't expect it to do more Damage than the spear I did before! I think this is due to the material I used to make this machete!

Anyway! With that done, let's go to construction! Or as Bob the Builder, would say: Autobots, Roll Out"

...

Sup, guys! While writing this chapter, I tried to find a video on the net, about how to make a machete. I didn't find the video at the end, so I ended up writing the way I imagine it would be possible to do that, in the situation that Icaru was. If you know how to make one in real life and reading the way I described the process, you thought: 'This is ridiculous; this is not how you make a machete!'

I apologize for that! Anyway! I am going to tell you a short story that happened to me while writing this chapter:

When looking for videos, about making a machete. I ended up bumping into a video where they did a machete restoration. You probably already know what happened after that... I got lost watching the videos from that channel, and just a couple of hours later. 

I remembered, that I should be writing at that moment and not surfing the net!

In conclusion, the restoration videos are a scary black hole!

They suck all your time and attention, so be careful when watching these videos.

End of the story.

...

That's all, folks!

Thanks for reading!

Have a great day!
