[Forging]
The mithril floated in the air, glowing red. The heat radiating from it made me instinctively step back. The mithril stretched, folded, and was hammered by an invisible force. This process repeated several times, increasing its strength.
Eventually, a silver ingot fell to the ground with a thud, emitting a thin wisp of smoke. The mithril ingot was complete.
“Now, this is where it begins…”
I focused all my attention on the mithril ingot. I visualized the detailed shape of the sword in my mind and activated the skill.
[Construction]
If the blade is too short, I’d have to get too close to the enemy’s attack range. If it’s too long, it would be troublesome in tight spaces. The blade length of a katana is about 60 centimeters, so I’ll use that as a reference. I don’t want to hurt myself with my own blade, so I’ll make it single-edged. Although I don’t want to think about it, I’ll need a sturdy guard in case I face a human opponent with a sword. The hilt should be thick enough to wrap with an anti-slip grip.
The mithril ingot began to transform into the shape I envisioned.
“Phew…”
In mid-air, the sword sheathed itself. I gripped it tightly. This is my weapon. For surviving here. And for eventually escaping. I felt power surging through me.
“No… this is…”
It wasn’t just the exhilaration of creating a sword. It was a familiar sensation. I instinctively opened my status.
