Today is a good day, good day for cleaning the hazardous waste of supernova. First, I stop all nuclear reactions in the area. It takes time to clean this one since it occupies a wide area, approximately 3 or 4 km wide in radius and about 1 km above land level. Luckily, Ragoniad steals or absorbs my beginner level [Shadow Supernova] which is tiny or small at that time. If she absorbs a master level, I doubt I am breathing or kicking or living right here, right now. But because of this incident, I meet her like a blessing in disguise. Okay let’s back to work.
After 2 hours, the strange light or the supernova’s light gets fainter and fainter until its gone. A huge hole or crater formed from the supernova’s source before. I look on the crater and I notice that it’s shape is almost perfect circle even though my supernova at that time is in beginner level. The crater is almost 2 km radius and about 2 km deep.
I look around and notice some valuable ores or rocks found in the crater. At first, I think that minerals and some rare ores can be found at the crater but the deeper I look, the rarity of ores, minerals, or rocks increase and also their abundance. There, I found diamond, white golds, black golds, OMG! there are also mithril, orichalcum, supremium, barbarium, adamantium, meteoric iron, cold iron and any legendary or rare ores, rocks or minerals you can think of and to top it off, they come in large numbers. I mean they are abundant everywhere I look. My eyes shines brightly like a diamond and I think my eyes changed to dollar sign. It looks like I dig a treasure trove.
‘Raar’, I think I need to switch my role from cleaner to pirate, ‘Raar’. Man, how much fortune I can make of this. Okay okay let’s ‘clam down’, I mean ‘calm down’. Inhale, Exhale, Whew. Okay, I am relax. Temptations go away. Shoo shoo. I should not be drown by money. Let’s control ourselves but I want to shout ‘I am rich!’.
Then, I remember that money is useless in this current era as war and conflicts appear everywhere. What’s the use of money, if you are dead. What’s the use of money if the products around here are close to Stone Age. I sigh and as I remember that I can get whatever things I want since I can craft or make it. Let just leave it here for future use and mental note to myself not to get drown by it when the time comes. I pick the diamond near me, its big, size close to my fist, wow. As I look towards the spot where I pick it before, another diamond can be seen from it.
' What? Another diamond from the ground in the very same spot? Is someone making a prank on me?'
I pick that diamond, now I have two, after few seconds, another diamond sprout from the ground. What? Are these diamonds like plants? I pick and they grow and I pick again and they grow again. I do that for almost 5 minutes. In my hands is full of various rocks and ores. Every time I pick a rock or ore, the ground seems to replace it by another mineral, rock, or ore. Don’t tell me that this treasure trove produces expensive rocks endlessly. Meaning, I can get infinite amount of resources from here. HEhehe, okay, okay lets calm down now. I promise to myself not to become greedy as it leads to one’s destruction just like Brovo. Speaking of him, he is comfortably sleeping in the dragon’s cage. A cage not for birds, but for dragons.
“You did it!!!”
Someone insta-blink at my side, it makes my soul escapes from my body. I am so shock, very shock.
“Chief, please don’t do that. Someone might get a heart attack”
“Hahaha..you are a funny man”
I am serious you know. This dragon doesn’t know common sense. Wait speaking of common sense, humans and dragons have some sort of different common sense since dragons are almost immortal. There way of life is somewhat childlike while humans are more mature or not? Since this age is a medieval age, maybe modern common sense doesn’t fit to them. Hmmm, need to confirm this.
Ragoniad: “Wow so many shining objects”
Frey and Gale: “Jewels? Jewels?”
Drana:“Are these rare ores, dear?”
Ragod: “I think they are super rare ones, my love”
It looks like the whole family is here. And they are watching the scenery of very rare and very expensive minerals, ores and rocks flooding in the crater.
“Wow!!” “Amazing!!!”[Clansmen]
And the whole clansmen of course, are here. Hey who guards Brovo? Anyone? Nevermind. All of them stares the crater for few minutes. Let’s leave them be. Let them enjoy the moment.
“Ah yeah..Ragoniad please take this”
I present to her a diamond necklace, I hope she likes it.
“Wow..Beautiful”
She receive it while appreciating it. I’m glad you like it. I put the necklace around her neck. It makes me nervous there. This is my first time doing this. After that, I look at her and I can only say ‘Beautiful’.
“…….Tha-nk you..Thank you. I’ll treasure this for eternity”
She hugs me suddenly while thanking me. My heart can’t take it anymore, critical levels reach must calm down but I can’t control anymore. I hug her also. Damn, this is so good. I never think that hugging feels good and she smells good and I can feel some soft feeling around my chest which is good.
Drana: “Oh my..I didn’t think your relationship advanced that far”
Ragod: “Hahaha..good good with this our problem is solved”
What do you mean by problem chief?
“You know lad, a dragon needs a lover to awaken our hidden power. Our child here have a serious problem in choosing her husband for a long time but when she finds you, it seems she finds her only one”
Ah, right. Dragons have some sort of hidden power which can be unlocked if you find your one love. Like in fairy tales, the power of love is the most powerful of all, its true love after all. Ragoniad, I think its time to part our ways from our hugging moment cause I can’t concentrate from here. Hello? Ah I give up she clings to me from here on, the feeling is good so let’s leave it like that.
“I have a question chief, its bothering me for some time. *cough* It seems you and your clan seems to trust me even we just meet today”
“Ah that, we Kilate can deduce an individual, we know the inside of the person or his intention to be exact. In your case, its special, aside from you don’t hold malice or harm towards us, we felt attracted or attached to you like a longtime friend or comrade”
Really? Well that’s good. It’s better to have them as friends or allies. I know dragons can deduce an individual’s intention but I am surprise that they can read your heart after the explanation of the chief. It seems my [World Knowledge] doesn’t mention or state about them being attached to me, that’s weird.
Wait a minute, this Kilate Clan was once feared dragon clan long ago because they perform assassinations flawlessly. Even the target is heavily guarded or in middle of the crowd. They are once the dreaded assassination group thousands of years ago killing countless victims and carrying impossible missions until the head of that chief of that time gets tired of assassin life, wanting to have a peaceful life together of course, the support of his clansmen, they want to change. To think that these cheerful bunch was known as the dreaded assassins who can take life in an instant with no hesitation.
Let’s not make them my enemies. Wow, what a history.
As I recall that I have also earned a more or less similar title before.
Note: In case you forget his title earned before
The Most Professional Killer
Title earned due to your numerous successful assassinations. Assassins may fear you and some may idolize you.
Even though titles don’t give effects, just a warning or some flavor text. It gives a hint why they trusted me so much. Not because of title effect but because we have the same profession, assassin. So that’s the reason. So the saying birds with the same feather flock together, true? But I just stealthily kill creatures to survive, is that really count of being an assassin? Sigh, whatever.
“Big sis Big sis you have beautiful necklace”
“Really? thanks”
“Can we have some too?”
Ragoniad having trouble on how to answer her little sisters. So I speak to them, and in the first place I plan to make some accessories to test how artistic I am.
Joel: “Of course, I’ll make something for you later”
“Yey~”
They are not afraid of me, a stranger? That's weird.
Let's do something about their trauma later to ensure their adorable smiles. Her little sisters were cute and adorable and I tell you that I am not a lolicon. I just admire their warm moment. After Ragoniad separates from me, she shows her necklace to her little sisters and they talk from there about it. I think I feel lonely from your embrace. Her mother also joins their conversation.
“My, Awesome craftsmanship!! This is my first time seeing such fine and detailed designs. This is better than the necklace I’ve seen thousands of years ago”
“Really? Thanks”
Her mother talks and praise about how detailed and fine the designs in Ragoniad's necklace. Are those kind of things, I mean design not popular here? Right, this is medieval age again, meaning they have little time about arts. They are more focus on war and the designs I craft can be found only on my old modern world.
“Lad, we almost forget about the resurrection of my deceased clansmen”
At those words, everyone become happy and excited. Do these people doesn't doubt me? The relatives carry their dead family members and put them in front of me. Do they not feel scared about the return of the dead? Zombie. We’ll they are dragons, they just can toast it.
Without any more pauses and hesitation, I activate my skill [Resurrection]. A bright and calming white or yellow light covers the dead bodies, after few seconds, the dead comes back to the mortal realm.
Cries of joy or happiness and hugging of the former dead ones and their families is the next scene after their revival. Man, this is a very heart warming. The resurrected ones are confuse and their families ask them some questions and they always say ‘Is that really you?’, ‘thank god you are back’, Don’t leave us again’ and so on and so forth. Afterwards they thank me.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
“Incredible, no chanting, just like that?”
The chief and some top notch warriors are amaze by my skill. We’ll it’s not mine in the first place, it’s from above you know.
Then, we move to the castle since the night has come. We talk about how the Fiyaa clan enslaved them one month ago. It seems the Fiyaa clan uses some under handed schemes to make the Kilate surrender to them. They don’t mention what kind of schemes but I can think some reasons like an important person is held hostage or a threat that causes death to Kilate Clan. At that time, Ragoniad is looking for me. She complains on how difficult or hard to track me. Sorry about that I always use [Blend Presence] when I travel outside. Then the talks went on how to punish Brovo slowly since they are dragons so their attacks might end up one hit kill him or a huge wound then he dies without the other victims’ turn. So I tell them that they just hurt then heal him afterwards, in order to lengthen his misery life. They seem surprise of my idea since they use heal for wounds, not for punishment.
“Lad, the more I talk to you, the more sinister you become”
Wait, chief I just answer your questions. Maybe I just have a little twist in my personality since I live in the dangerous wild for almost one year that first kill move is all you need to survive. There is also the factor with no companions to talk that might decrease my social skills. I question myself if me from old world is the same as now, but I am interrupted by Drana’s words.
“Yes dear, sinister but in a good way”
What is that ‘sinister but in a good way’ statement? Maybe I am really merciless towards my enemies. We’ll let just control myself not to become a tyrant in the future.
“Enough about Brovo, dears, how about we talk about these”
Drana, wants to move to another topic. It seems she want to talk about accessories that I have finish crafted. How do I craft those in short amount of time? Well I just craft them secretly by manipulating the materials' molecules. Quite convenient, eh. The accessories I made are rings, necklaces and bracelets. All of them have fine and detailed designs, which a simple mineral or rock turns into fine and expensive looking jewelry. Of course, I just copy and paste the designs, I learned back from my old world. These dragons are intrigue by my craftsmanship.
“Before we proceed about ‘these’, how about we talk about the hole in our backyard”
The chief wants to talk about the hole in the wall, I mean the hole in their backyard, which is a very huge (expanding for several kilometers) if we call it a ‘backyard’. Oh, I forgot to mention, that I am inside the Kilate’s castle. They don’t have much furniture but with dragon’s carvings or designs at least as expected of dragons. They have only chairs, tables, no paintings and a whole lot of weapons, from daggers to long swords and spears. We are eating supper in the great hall together with the chief’s family and his trusted top warriors.
“Dear, how about you reward it to Joel aka Dragunov?”
“Right! To reward your great efforts that helps us a lot I give you that land. Our clan will be forever grateful to you.”
“No, it’s nothing. It’s my fault at first place. I just take my responsibility”
Please don’t exaggerate it chiefand why you give me a part of your territory that is full of treasure? I don’t expect a reward in the first place, I just want to see the medieval buildings and a dragon town.
“Okay, can we talk about ‘these’?”
Drana, really wants to talk about jewels. Her servants also happily stare at it for from the beginning. Please, stop that blink less-staring mode, it makes my crafted jewels to melt. I hope they don’t fire laser beams in their eyes.
“It seems my wife really wants to talk about ‘these’, Okay go on”
“Dear, I can’t hide my excitement when I see these finely crafted jewels. Even dwarves that I know can’t do these minute designs.”
It seems Drana is really excited about it. Dwarves, huh, those stouts who are good in crafting. I think I need to see their kind.
“Joel, how about we officially employ you? With your skills we can pay anything you like”
Anything that I like? Are you for real? Dragons, greater beings can pay me but let’s think about it. If I accept this offer, I will be forever bound in this territory and they will surely order me to craft this and that. And that’s hassle to me. Even you can pay me anything that I like, freedom cannot be bought. I want to go anywhere that I like and do everything that I like. Let’s see, what’s the best course of action where both sides have win-win situation.
“I am sorry, I have important things to do”
Drana shows a sad expression, I think she understands and knows that I have more things to do. Even the beautiful servants where sad too. Okay, let’s lighten up the mood.
“But I can teach you on how to do it”
With those words, they smile but frown afterwards. Why is there anything wrong with what I said?
“We are dragons you know, not dwarves”
Ah right, they are dragons and they are dwarves huh. That’s the common sense in this world where dwarves are the best in craftsmanship and the other race will not be good as them. But they forgot that I am just a human who crafted those accessories.
“It seems you forgot that I am human, anyone can craft you know”
At those words, they are shock and some were enlighten. Good, if they will be able to craft, they can make their own accessories and I have a good reason to decline their previous offer. Win-win.
“So you’re saying-”
“Yes, with the right tools and right knowledge, you can craft. Just imagine the things you can make”
“Please teach us!!!”
The beautiful servants together with Drana, Ragoniad and her two little sisters, bow to me and has the air of determination ready to learn everything in order to achieve their goal, to craft a jewel. Why do Drana, Ragoniad and her two little sisters joined the fray? They just can order their servants you know.
The chief taps my right shoulder and whispers to me.
“Girls are scary, lad. You will know it the more you spent time with them”
At those words, my back trembles by sudden cold. Why am I scared? Its good thing that they are determined but when I see their faces for the second time. They wear a conqueror’s face, ready to conquer all lands just for the sake of crafting a perfect jewel. Let’s hope this will not escalate to the next level.
“Joel, can I ask you a question?”
Oh, one of the top Kilate warriors asks me this time. Let’s hear it, I bet it’s about warfare kind of things.
“That weapon of yours, its unusually sharp, from the battle earlier you easily decapitate ten heads with one strike, even I can’t do that. Are you also the one who craft that weapon?”
Indeed, my weapon is very sharp thanks to nanotechnology and it seems this is their first time seeing a man decapitate ten dragon heads. Even in their human form, their skin is as hard like the dragon scales so they think my weapon is forged by a master craftsman and ask me if I am the one who craft it. As I realize their question, I am surprise too of my weapon’s performance. Maybe I didn’t expect the end products of nanotechnology. Ten dragon scaled heads easily cut by my machete like a paper. Indeed, quite surprising.
“Yes, I am”
“Teach us, teacher!!!”
They bow while saying that. Teacher? Not sensei? Right, they are not Japanese in the first place. It seems my disciples keep increasing and why is Ragod joined the fray?
“Chief, do you want to learn also?”
This time his wife, Drana, come close to my ears and whispers.
“Men are idiots, especially these warriors; they are bunch of weapon maniacs”
Now, its Drana’s turn to whisper to my ear and it seems she backbite her husband. Is that allowed?
Girls are scary and boys or men are idiots? Maniacs? Does it include me? I love weapons you know. We’ll let them have it.
“Can we see your weapon like sword, Joel?”
“Of course, please enjoy these wares.”
I display to them my extendable spear, bladed boomerang, my two machete and some combat knives.
They pick up my weapons and they touch it, use it and test it.
Man, if anyone sees us in other view, they will view me as a black market merchant selling illegal goods to these people.
“AMAZING, this spear can extend or retract to a short sword size”
“This boomerang has BLADES!! And its very sharp too”
“So this weapon is called “machete”, easy to use and handle and its sharpness feel like its use to decapitate heads”
“Man this knife is EASY to handle”
Those are the words I hear while they are admiring my weapons. Man, they are like kids enjoying their new toys. Then they proceed to test my weapons’ penetration power by putting a dummy wearing an armor. First, they swing my machete, then throw my bladed boomerang, hack and slash my combat knife and thrusts my spear. They do every move or action they can think off and the result. All of my weapons easily penetrate the armors from normal metal ones to unique ones. All of the tested armors are cut, has a hole, slash like a normal paper. They can’t believe how deadly the weapons they handle.
“AMAZING, is all I can say”
“Right, all of our armors are easily cut like a PAPER”
“Aside from its sharpness, its easy to use also and its weight is just PERFECT to maneuver.”
“Me too I am surprised, especially the bladed boomerang which can EASILY cut a man into two”
“Yeah its fast too depending on your throwing speed”
They praise and praise my weapons. And it makes me, the creator, happy. Man, they really admire my weapons and I hope that they won’t pray my weapons, please don’t make these idiots view my weapons as their gods.
After that we arranged our schedules for crafting lessons after we execute Mister Brovo, the great wise coward.
