arm breaks down owing to the hypertrophic muscle fibres becoming markedly atrophied..

I need to rest... It's probably day 3 finding ways to replicate the blueprint of that gun... I lost 200 monster crystal... Sigh... I cant reuse them anymore...

Im so exhausted... My vision is whirling... My eyelids are closing on its own... I can't fight this feeling, after 3 day's of non-stop working...

I keep on dreaming... I was flying...

While...

There it goes again...

Memories of my past... Previous and present life... Getting mixed up..

As my eyelids open... And rise my body suddenly as i was confused where am i...

As the whole room syncing slowly in my mind...

I wanted to fly again... I love to fly... Like a carefree pigeon...

This world sync in my thoughts... It's impossible..

Yeah... I need to try someday... We'll... Where do i left yesterday...

I created a sand time dial...

Just in case i passed away and forget how many days i was sleeping again...

The sand glass hour probably...

What hey.. that Glass hour can be halve in three days... Now just a little bit what was left... I sleep for three days... Ouch... Sigh... I forgotten about the messed materials still in the Forged...

Wait a second...

What is this...

It's glowing...

Huh what happened...

Okay let's get to work... I put it in the mold.. and cooled it with ice magic...

This is perfect... I was repeating the process, I'm amazed myself... it's too easy now... Yeah...

Finally after an hour... It's amazingly done...

I'm surprised myself..

I did this on my own...

Hahaha... Your a brilliant man.. my hardworks finally bear fruit...

What should i call you little buddy... I need to try it.. just add a little wind concentrate at the tip... Auto target... I locked auto target in one of the trees from the window...

Now i should say...

Discharged...

What nothing happened...

Did i failed...

I tried again still..

No way... That blueprint sucks...

I should read it again... Errr...

Moments later...

Ahhhh... I forgot the trigger to install... The trigger served as a discharged mechanism for any magic... This gun Forged with multiple core's... But in this log the blacksmith used iron to mixed with the monster core's...monster Crystals called as cores when use in smithing... to my conclusion... After three days of sleeping... The core melted in high temperature which separated the iron in it... That's why this gun is too light weight... My gun is probably alive... I can tell...

Now installation of trigger is complete...

Insert wind magic... just a little like wind bullet capacity...

Click...

Sound of a gun... Aftershock wave made by the wind bullet, destroyed the window and totally destroyed the trees i lock with it...

Thats...

...........

That's awesome....

That impression... I should call you... Destroyer Hand Gun.. or DH gun.. for short... Your amazing DH gun... Hugged and kisses... This is my first legendary armament... Many thanks to the blueprint... Whoever you are... I give my deepest thanks...

I reviewed the blacksmith logs written in demi human langgrapil...

And...

( Day 200... My smithing is a failure.. they don't believe in me at all...

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

The elder researcher said... Maybe i should try a hundreds of cores... Which is sparsely gain..

He mentioned about his research..

Creating monsters to produce core's... He's too insane... Why you jest... But if that continue... I can finally make one of this blueprint he presented... I can't wait...

Day 250... He managed to create multiple monster of troll's... But us elf's can't contain them anymore... They're very hard to kill... We're just a researcher... This secluded place is used for research... Different kinds of research is conducted in here...

Day 251... everyone is in total panicked... The sound of screaming echoes in the air like a lullabies... i can see how the mother elf wrapped her child in her chest to cover the situation.. but they also become meals of this hungry trolls.. i was afraid... I can't move my body... Somebody is knocking on my doorstep... I ignore them... Screaming after... Then silent... because I covered my ears... And sit in the dark corner... Hiding myself...

Why those automaton didn't do their job protecting us... In reverse action they does... They also joined the troll's as they're ripping our researchers and their families living here... They should protect us in the first place...

Day 253... 2 day's since the traumatic incident... I waited for rescue... But none arrived... This automaton is really deadly... I should not make my way outside that door... Or making noise inside this room... You can't kill me hehehe...

Day 254... I don't have enough food for the day... I just drink liquor.. it's only left in my shelf... Probably Mazikeil Lark will invite me to drink again... This is his gifts 5 day's ago..

He mentioned...

"You must have drinks and foods inside your place... You know just in cased you will be lockdown in here...hahaa"

" Well... Im contented with everyday rations... Hahaha..."

That was our last conversation...

Day 255... Everyone is dead... Except me... They're on the door steps... As blacksmith.. i know how will my fate should be... But as an ex military... I have an escape plan... I don't have time to pack my things, specially with my research still on going.... it will only slow me down, while escaping... They're roaming now... )

That's insane... Wait... Mazikeil Lark..

I think i heard it somewhere...

Mazikeil Lark is responsible for summoning the demon Lord of the fallen... Meaning this placed is abandoned thousands of years... Still like it was happened just yesterday... Look at the...

I think i saw a body in ice...

" Wait... Hey... Okay ill save you..."

I jumped from the destroyed window... And melted the ice...

" Ohh my... God..."

The body exposed... It's an elf completely eaten her back skeleton was left... She was locking her arms.. wait...

Is this an elf child, maybe an age of 12... Probably died too... Due to suffocation... By her mother's body...

Maybe there's more inside this iced...!!!

" Hear me o hear me, Goddess of fire... Grant me power to melt this frozen ice... Fire... Discharged..."

It's my first incantation word's in action... My days at Leaf Land, they help me to pronounce every words of magic incantation...

While my fire magic is at novice class... I should cast the incantation spell correctly to used right amount of mana to be cast at any types of magic spell...

The ice slowly melting...

And exposed the fate of this Elfen research facility...

I should tend this corpses of Elfen researcher's along with the corpse's of their families...

I burned the body's with my fire magic...

As the mechanical engineered started moving... I noticed them...

So they're automatic... As the frozen ice melt they can now move freely...

This are automaton mentioned in that smithiers diary...looks like their main body is made out of pure gold... Gold is very long lasting... No corrosion is visible in them... Wait... They have monsters crystal... Acted as their core... That explains...

I destroyed 10 types of automaton...

And take out their core's... Adding in my collection...

This is research facility... So first lets explore this ruin's...

You'll never know... I might find a good item or rare item... I can't wait...

Everything research held at the top most portions of every tree's above... And below is the living quarters of their families... So lower level is a waste...

Upper level gives me a lot of promises... I ended up first in alchemy laboratory... which research about every kind of potion... And even love potions..

And wait... Their is a machine like...

Two item must place and it will be combined magically...

This is crazy...

I tried my BM sword with that great sword...

I almost push the button to merged them... Wait... I got an idea...

What if creating a sword from this remaining core's...

I hurried to Smithing placed... And forge it... Around 600 cores melted in furnace... I've waited till it started glowing... And perfectly fit in large slim long sword... It's appearance similar in japanese katana...

After a few hours... It's completely done...

I probably back in alchemist laboratory... And merged the two item...

" It's glowing... My swords rebirth so i need to give it another name... Maybe Light Beetle Mantis sword.. or.. LBM sword.. because of light... Wait..

LBM?? Ei.. sound's disgusting... Wait... I'll change your name... It's grossed..

Beetle Mantis Light sword..

BML sword... Ohhh.. i like it..."

Wow it's probably weightless...

Do i look like a Ninja... Yeah probably.. more like an assassin... From that famous movie.. assassin's.. ha.ha.ha.ha...

.....

I'd love to stay here.. but i have main reason why i crossed that fissure mountain... looks like i have 30 jerky packs...and those A ranked adventurers belongings, And zero marble.. which is here in my back... I'm ready to resume my journey...

Research facility... I will be back sooner... I will explore more after that... For now... Getting ready on defeating that demon Lord of the Fallen... Is my primary tasked to myself...

I managed to take a most synthetic papers that made from polypropylene resin. This creates a long-lasting map that is tear-resistant and completely waterproof. It can also be folded like a paper map and has a smooth surface that can be wiped clean..

And they also have ballpens... Not an ordinary one.. once used.. it will not fade or erased... It's a magic pen...

I need to map this unknown Land... I was walking away in this ruins till i reached the gate with two automaton is guarding...

I passed them while jumping the gate with about 20 meters high...

I don't want to leave this place unguarded... So leaving that two will keep my mind at ease...

Long journey in Frozen demon's land...

I traveled in day's, week's, months... In this neverending snow.. i was lucky as i counting steps and equation use for navigation... Thanks for the compass from that alchemy lab... Encountering different kinds of monster that adapt their living in complete frozen tundras... So many ruins.. and it's probably

Day 300...

Which i set up campfire everytime the dark is closing in... Those bats are now easy to deal... DH gun is surprisingly deadly... They cant even cast their sound waves... And even if it was... I can manifest it right away... This hard snowstorm is really giving me a lot trouble... So i make an eskimo type shelter... Out of earth element... Im safe in here... I completed the chameleon skin... I made a Cloak out of it...

And I'm counting my collection in two months of my journey..

Im amazed.. 6000 core's... Along with the map marker's which i burried some of them because im out of bag's and honestly i don't want to throw them... For now rest deep down, 2 feet beneath underground...

I should sleep now... This shelter is safe for heat scavenger monster...

Which is i procured from the alchemy lab... A cloth totally covered your body heat...

No worries...

My eyelids is closing again... As my body wrapped in this chameleon cloth...
