Death Doll History Shin Eun-hyuk (1)

A blacksmith all alone in a shelter somewhere in the perished world was pounding metal today as well.

-Januss whisper: Where do you work, Anvil Grandpa?

-In my workshop.

-Januss whisper: Oh, I see! Please tell me what your studio looks like!

-Dont act like you havent heard.

The blacksmith laughed unintentionally at the bright tone of his friend, who was always cheery despite knowing his situation. He didnt usually look around as if he only brought back to mind the reality of his situation, but now he could look at his work studio with a lighter mind.

-This placethe only light it has aside from the furnace is a lamp. It gets dark when the furnace goes cold.

-Januss whisper: Except when you sleep, Im sure that you always have it burning since youre always working.

-Noisy. Anyway, its big. The floor and walls are grayalthough there are some bloodstains in several places.

-Januss whisper: It wouldve been better not to list that.

There was a time he had to swallow back tears each time he reminisced about the blood on the walls, but now he was able to take it in stride. He was tired of crying.

-And Theres a desk and a bed.

-Januss whisper: In your studio?

-I stay and eat here, as well.

-Januss whisper: Huh, thats almost kind of cool.

-I had canned food piled up here before, but now I buy my meals from the transaction board.

-Januss whisper: Grandpawell go out and eat some delicious food, so reach VIP quickly, okay?

-You guys spoil me.

Coincidentally, on that same day, another member who liked him somewhat excessively also reached out to him.

-Tsukuyos whisper: I hope you become a VIP. We could spend all day together, and I could hold you in my arms!

-After my wifes death, I pledged not to be with another woman.

-Tsukuyos whisper: Ah, somehow its a dignity like a lion! I want to meet you soon.

-You still dont listen to me properly.

The two discussed his life as a blacksmith, much like he had with Janus.

-Tsukuyos whisper: Im confident in my cooking. I cant let you, my beloved, fill your stomach with weird things. On the day you become a VIP, I will help you find a proper meal.

-Fox.

After Tsukuyos affection-filled message, a smaller one flashed before him, too quick to notice.

-Tsukuyos whisper: There are so many things I want to do for you! Im confident in my cooking, but I also have some good knowledge of tea. I even make my own refreshments to go with it. Theres this one called yokan.

-Yokan? I havent heard of it.

-Tsukuyos whisper: It takes two days to make, but its very delicious. The day you become a VIP, lets drink tea together with my homemade yokan.

-Thank you, but as I said, I made a vow

-Tsukuyos whisper: I cant wait.

-

The blacksmith was stunned into silence. This person wasnt listening to anything he said. However, he couldnt say anything against it.

-Yes, please do.

-Tsukuyos whisper:Yes.

She responded with a message that was trembling with her feelings.

***

-Entering My Room. The ratio of time to Earth has been adjusted to 1 to 2. The amount of time you can stay is five hours a day, and it is possible to stay longer by consuming HP.

Wow, its definitely similar. Kang Shin-hyuk sat down on the floor, recalling his dream from earlier that day. Perhaps it was because of his increasing synchronization that his dream had been about Anvils home.

The wall and the lamp are exactly the same Kang Shin-hyuk realized he had been Anvil in his dream earlier as he watched the cold furnace begin to heat up. He had been able to bring in the furnace and anvil from his past lifes workshop after completing his last dimensional quest.

It said one to two.

-With the third liberation, the rate will further increase.

It was just like it had been in the other dimensions. Given that he would only age at the rate of Earths time, it would be stupid not to use it as much as possible.

Now if only it had a fitness facility.

-After restoring your previous lifes workshops, I will bring one in.

The administrator happily nodded at his words. A strict blacksmith would never allow one to lift weights in their workshop, but it was fine for Shin-hyuk.

-But you probably dont want to train right now.

Absolutely. That could be done with Shinyoungs facilities. No, he had already done his training for the day. Now he was focused on making a product that would be a brother to the one he made with Lee Na-hee.

I wasnt confident until now He began to produce the materials he had gathered from the spider queen. He had thought of making the metal thread because of his encounter with the spiders. That lightning web had been created due to that idle thought, though he had no idea the results would be so good.

-It wasnt possible to check its information before.

I didnt have an emotion skill then. But now it was different. His training in Gromas proved fruitful, and now he had an A-rank emotion skill.

[Venom Princess Spiders Thread]

[A+ rank]

[A thread gland that can produce a vast amount of spider web. It is dangerous to handle, as it is toxic.]

[Venom Princess Spiders Spinneret]

[A rank]

[An organ that emits and manipulates the spider web. Even when re-attached, it cannot be used. This can be fixed by re-establishing a connection in another form, but a separate spider web is necessary.]

Not a queen, but a princess?!

-Really, it doesnt matter. However, a 500HP bonus for your show of surprise!

Why?! Wasnt that just spoiling him? Besides, this item was already plenty of value.

-It is a valuable by-product, but not everyone can capture its abilities. This was likely due to the special circumstances behind its birth.

It had been some odd circumstances. He wondered if he should combine the Shinfeng orb with the items, but fortunately, he didnt need to. The spider princess had left one other material.

[Venom Princess Spiders Manastone]

[S-rank]

[The source and core of a powerful organism. This mana stone emits magical power different from a normal mana stone.]

That was the spiders mana stone, which had been energized by half of that orb. Which meant it was imbued with spiritual power.

I kind of wish it wouldve been a skill stone.

-True, a thread production skill wouldve been useful. Maybe if it came out from your wrist

No, never mind. Kang Shin-hyuk gently withdrew his complaints. It was good enough that he could use this gemstone to make a powerful artifact. He was planning on trying Mana Craft for the first time in his life. No, rather, perhaps it was Soul Craft.

-Its not the first time. You restored the Shinfeng orb before, as well as the Heavenly Spirit. Those clearly went into the realm of All Craft.

That just because I was desperate, I didnt intend to do it. But now I have a clear goal in mind. The administrator had told him that he, in his past life, had reached the realm of All Craft with only his metallurgy. But that wasnt him. If it werent for his experiences in Gromas, he wouldve never considered processing these materials.

-Do you have some more confidence now?

No, not quitebut I want to try it. At Gromas, he had learned that was enough.

-2,00HP bonus!

Thank you. Kang Shin-hyuk readied himself. He put the thread, spinneret, and magic stone before him as he concentrated quietly. He was trying to replicate that feeling he had when he created the Great Heavenly Spirit before. That image of placing materials on an imaginary anvil and forging them to create an object. It felt different, but the situation was better this time. The materials were easier to handle for one, and less was on the line.

And I already know what to make. It was a bit regrettable that Lee Na-hee wasnt around to help, but he could ask her to enchant it later.

Lets try. After taking control of his own mind, he closed his eyes and awakened the spiritual power inside of him, letting it resonate with the materials in front of him.

Now, move according to my will. The mana stone greedily absorbed the spiritual power Kang Shin-hyuk stretched out to it, radiating a dazzling light as it merged with the thread gland and the spinneret. Golden color began to spill out from between Shin-hyuks eyelids, mixing with the light emanating from the materials. He was vaguely aware that his trait was activated.

Im not amplifying my ability or my weapon, but all of the substances in the artifact to make it something of a higher qualitythis It wasnt a trait that would end with an S-rank. It still had one more condition to evolve, but he was already confident in that fact.

Keep focusing. He covered all of the materials with his spiritual power as he started his work in full. He recalled the experience making the metal threads and gloves, trying to realize it through these materials. It wasnt as difficult as he had been nervous about. Didnt he already make SS-ranked items? Moreover, since the rate of synchronization was increasing each day, he was able to approach this Soul Craft skillfully.

Good, I can feel it changing. The spinneret was formed into the same type of glove he had made with Lee Na-hee, and the thread was turning into something he could fire at any time. He focused strongly on the mana stone, trying to use his spiritual power to amplify the items with its power.

Only

Itll be difficult to enchant since the material quality is so high. Lee Na-hee wont be able to process it properly. He could ask her if her abilities strengthened again. Kang Shin-hyuk finished the process with a smile on his lips. His golden eyes intensified as the object was completed. The glove and case for the web were combined organically, creating a more compact form than the lightning web.

-Tsukuyo wants to visit My Room. Do you want to allow it?

-A fox. Please refuse.

His concentration was almost broken by the message that arrived without warning. He managed to keep his mind together but accidentally made a mistake in focusing on his work.

-You have accepted the visit request. Tsukuyo will enter My Room soon.

-No!

It had been a while since he had seen the administrators exclamation mark. Kang Shin-hyuk thought so blankly as he lifted his head, his task finally complete.

What?!
