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.

[Tongue of Fire]

The Monster Core which is already in the form of powder, Cien takes about a third of it. You don't need everything to make a pair of gloves. One third of the powder, he mixed it with the blood of the Inferno Bear which he had stored in the storage room.

Once mixed, Cien took the dry gloves. Then soak the gloves in the blood that has been mixed with Inferno Bear Monster Core powder. He stirred the gloves while flowing mana from within him. The soaking time was about an hour before he finally picked it up and hung it up again to dry.

Because he spent all of the mana within him, Cien then went to the bedroom to rest and replenish his mana.

In the evening, when the gloves are dry. Cien initially thought that the gloves would feel stiff, smell fishy and iron because it had soaked in blood. But in fact, that's not the case. While the gloves still felt a little stiff, they weren't as stiff as he thought. The smell is still the smell of ordinary leather cloth. There was no smell of blood at all.

'Strange but true…'

Cien brought the gloves to the workshop. He took the five little pieces of Mana Core he had made, and installed them in one of the gloves. He embellished it by embroidering it with thread. Covering the entire surface of the Mana Core with thread so that when it was done, the pieces of the Mana Core were not visible. All that was visible was a diamond-shaped embroidered string.

Each glove has five pieces of Mana Core.

After all the Mana Core pieces were neatly attached. Cien took a dip pen from the drawer and a bowl of Inferno Bear blood.

Cien dipped the pen in the blood, then he flowed his mana into the pen. Instantly Cien's pen and his eyes lit up bright blue.

He focused on looking at the back of the gauntlet, then started drawing a magical circle on its surface. On the magical circle, he also wrote several letters that looked like worms and symbols that the general public couldn't understand.

Cien himself didn't even know what the letters and symbols he wrote meant. Those letters and symbols weren't from Earth or the Kastia Continent. Cien only imitated as best he could the letters and symbols that had to be written according to the recipe on his cell phone.

'Perhaps apart from Kastia and Earth, there are other parallel worlds. This language probably came from there. Or There may be a ancient race in this world that has been forgotten.' Cien thought, still concentrating on his work.

About two hours later, he successfully made the mysterious magical circle. Long processing time due to the many mistakes made.

For several times Cien checked the recipe and repeated, checked again and again. Two hours passed, and both gloves were finished. Cien smiled contentedly.

He then looked at the details of his creation with his camera.

__________

[Fire Glove]

Quality : Good

Rarity : Unique

A magical glove that can spout fire magic [Tongue of Fire]. Every single piece of Mana Core can produce a [Tongue of Fire] attack as powerful as a Rank 1 class attack. If two Mana Cores are used at once, the attack will increase to Rank 2 and so on.

The time to charge one Mana Core stone to full from an empty state was three hours.

Created by Cien Millard

"…"

Cien's mouth and eyes opened wide after reading the description of the gloves he made.

"T-this… does it mean that if I use all of the Mana Core energy in both gloves, then the attack will be as strong as a Rank 10 attack? Uwaa~ that's insane…"

Cien became very excited. He put on the two gloves, feeling that even though they were rough, they were still comfortable enough to wear. The magical circle he had drawn earlier was now gone, seemingly having absorbed into the glove.

Cien exits the shop to try his new creation. Even though the sun had set, and it was pitch black outside. Since his place was protected by a layer of protection, he didn't need to fear any surprise attacks.

Cien walked while looking for a tree that could be used as a target.

After finding it, he stretched out his arms and then started concentrating on using the Fire Glove.

"Let's try the strength of one Mana Core first."

One Mana Core flashed, its light piercing through the seams of enveloping threads. In front of his stretched out hand, in the air, suddenly appeared a magical circle that was exactly the same as the one he had drawn earlier.

Cien grinned then said, "[Tongue of Fire]!"

Flames instantly burst out from a magical circle in the air. Launch and burn the tree that is the target of the attack.

After the attack is over. Cien approached the tree to see the result of the damage.

There are only visible burnt marks the size of a basketball. He thought that the attack just now was quite intense but in fact it wasn't.

Cien shrugged.

"A Rank 1 class attack. What can one expect?"

His [Waterball] attack is not very useful. So Cien already had an expectation of such an outcome.

"Let's increase the power."

This time, Cien did not hesitate to use all of the mana's core energy contained in his right glove. The four Mana Cores flashed. If it fits the description, then this attack will be equivalent to a Rank 4 class attack.

The magical circle again appeared in the air. Now clearly looks bigger than before.

"[Tongue of Fire]!"

Swooosh!

A huge flame immediately appeared, burning everything in its path. The tree that had only been slightly burned was now completely burnt in the middle. And the fire continued to devour the trees and plants behind it.

"!!!"

Cien immediately panicked. The flames it released were too great. He was afraid of starting a forest fire. Immediately he cast his water magic spell. Half of his mana had been drained from making the Fire Gloves. And it seems that half more will have to be put out to stop the blazing fire.

A light blue magical halo shone brightly above the burning place covering everything.

"[Water Spray]!"

Drops of water immediately fell like rain, extinguishing the fire created by his attack earlier.

"Sigh… that's just shocking."

After extinguishing Cien saw the situation before his eyes.

The attack was about twenty meters long and about five meters wide. Leaving charred ashes in its path. Burnt trees fell on top of each other.

Cien was increasingly amazed by the attack he made.

"It only uses four Mana Cores. If it uses all of it? Rank 10 strength… I want to see it!"

Unfortunately he had to let go of that desire. In the first place, the five Mana Cores in his right gauntlet had been depleted. He had to first let it absorb the mana in the atmosphere to replenish the energy within.

That single chunk of Mana Core took three hours to fully charge. So all five took fifteen hours.

Not to mention, a Rank 10 attack would be too dangerous to do near his shop. He was afraid something dangerous would happen. So, it's best to only use that attack in an emergency.

"Hehe...hehehe...hehehe!"

Cien laughed hysterically at the thought of himself now being able to unleash attacks on par with those at Rank 10. How many people were at Rank 10? A little! If in the guild system, those who are in Rank 10 are A-Class adventurers.

Cien recalled that back in the Westya Kingdom, A-Class adventurers only had twenty five people. I don't know whether that number is currently decreasing or increasing, the most important thing is that people who have this kind of power are very rare to find.

Now even though he can only use it once, Cien can issue attacks on par with those above.

Imagining this made him laugh even wider. At least until a few minutes later before reality hit him again.

"... sigh, what's the point of having great strength if you can't get out of here?"

His spirit immediately disappeared. Cien is back to his calm demeanor as usual. He looked at the gloves that covered both of his hands.

"Hmm, having another Fire Glove wouldn't hurt. Let's make another one."

There were still two-thirds of the Monster Core powder, ten pieces of Mana Core, and the leftover leather from his robes.

Cien thinks he could make another pair or two of Fire Gloves. He could still make little fragments of the Mana Core out of the four intact Mana Cores in the storage. And with the old robe, yeah, it's enough to make another two pairs.

"Besides, I don't have anything else to do. Not only can these gloves be so useful and powerful, they can also be displayed in a shop. Heh, although who will come to buy them? Really… this thing may just become a decoration."

With that, Cien returned to the store with light steps.

"Before work again, let's eat grilled meat first!"
