In the dark, the green stone lights illuminate the area blurry.

The light reflected a slight shadow. The shadow is squatting in front of one beast and chewing something desperately.

"Aah, guh, seriously, no shit!

Hajime is eating the meat of a two-tailed wolf while spitting evil.

Swallow all the hard muscle flesh, biting and chopping desperately as you drip blood. It's roughly a two-week meal. Suddenly his stomach, thrown in meat, is astonished and protests with crispness and pain. But Hajime swallowed it from next to next.

It looks like a completely wild child. It would have looked awful from a modern human point of view.

While I tear eyes at the awful smell and taste, Hajime is indulgent in the feeling that the hunger is healing. I never thought that being able to eat dinner was such a happy thing. I'm obsessed and keep eating.

Something strange began to happen to Hajime's body when his belly began to swell with the luxury of graduating once officials of the Episcopal Church found out that he would replace divine water with a drink for how long he ate it.

"Ah? - Huh!? Agaa!!!

Suddenly severe pain struck my whole body. It's like being eroded by something from the inside of your body. A nasty feeling. The more time passes, the more intense the pain becomes.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Unbearable pain. Something that erodes you. Hajime swoops around the ground. Fantasy limb pain and other much more intense pain like blowing up.

Hajime chews through the ends and drinks up the contents as he removes the stone test tube type container from his nose with his trembling hands. Immediately the divine water works and the pain pulls off, but after a while, the severe pain strikes again.

"Higg!! Why... I don't know, ahhh!

Hajime's body began to pulse as she was in pain. Dokung, the whole body pulses. I even heard a missy, meek noise from all over the place.

But in the next moment, the divine water in the body reveals the effect and repairs the body's abnormality. Severe pain again at the end of the repair. And repair.

I can't even faint because of the divine water effect. It is a form in which tremendous healing power has become an ada.

Hajime screamed and circled the ground, continuing to taste the endless hell as he struck his head against the wall again and again. I hoped with no one to kill me first, but naturally, there's no way I can make it happen. I just have to endure it.

Then a change began to appear in Hajime's body.

First, the color falls out of my hair. Because of the pain in excess of the allowable amount, or because of another cause, the black hair that is characteristic of the Japanese is getting whiter and whiter.

The muscles and skeletons then gradually thicken and a few thin, red and black lines begin to emerge inside the body.

There is a phenomenon called super recovery. It is a phenomenon that slightly enlarges and heals when broken muscles are repaired due to muscle tresses and the like. It seems that bones and the like increase in strength when repaired if they are broken as well. The same is true of the anomalies that are happening to Hajime's body now.

The meat of demons is ferocious to humans. A demon with a special internal organ called the Demon Stone, which spins magic directly over the body and demonstrates incredible physical abilities. The magic that pervades the body also penetrates the flesh and bones, making it sturdy.

It is also believed that this perverted magic produces intrinsic magic that requires neither chanting nor magic formation, but details are not known.

Anyway, this perverted magic is lethal to humans. It erodes the human body and destroys cells from the inside.

In the past, those who ate demonic meat, without exception, died from shattering their bodies. In fact, Hajime had this knowledge too, but the hunger had completely pushed that knowledge into the back of his brain.

Hajime would also have just collapsed and died if he had just eaten meat from demons.

But there was a secret drug that wouldn't allow it. Divine water.

Repair right off the broken end. As a result, the flesh becomes tough at a tremendous rate.

Break, cure, break, cure.

Your flesh changes as you pulse.

That's like reincarnation. The ritual of birth to abandon the fragile and be reborn into chemistry. Hajime's screaming is vocalizing.

Eventually, the pulse subsided and Hajime fell into place. Its hair is dyed bright white and now it is invisible under the clothes but runs about a few red and black lines. It is like a kicking rabbit, a two-tailed wolf, and a nail bear.

Hajime's right hand moved pickly. My eyes, which were closed, can be opened softly. Unfocussed eyes look at Bo and his right hand. Eventually his fist was gripped as he made a galloping noise scratching the ground.

Hajime rose slowly when he made sure that he was alive while gripping and opening several times, and that his hands moved properly at his will.

"... no, I shouldn't have eaten demons... asshole or me... well, I wouldn't have had to..."

Hajime laughs mocking herself with an exhausted look.

I don't feel any pain for the first time in a long time as I no longer feel hunger and the phantom limb pain seems to have blown up in epic pain. On the contrary, my body is strangely light and I feel my strength rising all over my body.

I wonder if I can call it the best condition, although my spirit is tired of the interminable pain.

When I look at my arms and belly, my muscles are clearly developing. Actually, he's also growing tall. Hajime used to be one hundred and sixty-five centimeters tall, but is now even more than ten centimeters tall.

"What happened to my body? I have a strange feeling..."

Hajime was uncomfortable in her body as well as her body changes. A warm, cold, bizarre sensation to say the same. When I concentrated my consciousness, a thin red and black line appeared on my arm.

"Wow, come on, that's disgusting. I feel like a demon.... I don't know what it's like to be shattered. Yes, the status plate..."

Explore your pockets looking for a status plate that you completely forgot existed. Apparently I didn't lose it. Check the current Hajime status. I might know something about a physical abnormality.

"... why not"

Hajime scratches in with a Kansai valve not too unintentionally stunned as one day. Stats are skyrocketing, and there are three more skills. And the level is only 8 yet. Given that the level represents the person's degree of reach, apparently Hajime's growth limit has also risen.

"Magic manipulation?

Does it mean that magic can be manipulated literally?

Hajime said, "What if the odd feeling I'm feeling from earlier is magic? Guess, just like earlier, concentrate on" magic manipulation "and try to do it.

As Hajime began to concentrate, the red and black lines rose again thin. And think of an image that focuses on your right hand the sensations you feel throughout your body. Then, the slow but odd sensation, the Tortoise Magic, began to move.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa?"

As I tried to raise my voice about the indescribable sensation, I began to dwell in a magical formation of smelting depicted in gloves where the magic gathered remained on my right hand. Hajime to try the smelting with amazement. Then the ground thrived lightly.

"Seriously. You mean you don't want a chant? The principle is that direct operation of magic is not possible. Exceptions are demons.... I knew you got that trait because you ate the demon meat?

You're right. Hajime did acquire the properties of a demon. Hajime next tries to "wrap thunder".

"Uh... how am I supposed to do that? You mean electricity, right? Is that it? Of the tail of a two-tailed wolf..."

Try this, but it doesn't make any difference. It doesn't feel like magic, so there's no clue what to do.

"Uh-huh," he roars, recalling that when it comes to smelting, the image matters. As many formulas do not have to be written to the magic formation, a clear image is passed on to the workpiece as is.

Hajime imagines a static electricity that can play with a bee. Then the red electricity bounced off the fingertips of my right hand.

"Oh, I got it. … I see, does the intrinsic magic of demons mean that image matters"

Bees and discharge repeatedly thereafter. But I couldn't fly like a two-tailed wolf. Perhaps it can only be done to such an extent that it conveys whether to wrap around the body as if it were wrapped in lightning. Adjusting current and voltage levels requires practice.

The last "gastric acid fortification" would literally be. Eating meat from demons and being attacked by that intense pain again is a relief. But I don't think there's food in the labyrinth. Do you take hunger or pain? Hajime expects this skill to solve that ultimate choice.

Peel the meat from the wolf and cook it with wrapped thunder. After the boulder heals my hunger, I don't even have to bother eating raw. It has a strong bad smell, but it is hard to bear and cooks.

And I never ate my will.

Ten seconds...

One minute...

Enough...

Nothing happens.

Hajime cooks the meat one after the other and tries it again. But the pain didn't strike me in particular. Was it in the shadow of stomach acid enhancement or was it resistant? I don't know, but Hajime was happy. Now I don't have to taste hell every time I eat dinner.

Hajime, who ate meat up to a full belly, decided to return to base once. I could have beaten that claw bear. He decided for a while to encourage the mastery of new powers.

Cut meat from other two-tailed wolves. I was able to snort a few minutes easier than at first. When the meat was placed in a container made of some stone, Hajime carefully returned to a base with divine crystals.

It has been a few days since Hajime returned to his base and began training his training and other skills.

Every skill is growing well. Among them there was a change in smelting. What a derivative skill. It is a "mineral-based appraisal". Skills that only the top blacksmiths in the kingdom of Wangdu possess.

Normally, the magic of the appraisal system has to write more formulas than the attack system, and inevitably, it has to be done by activating a large magic formation in a limited number of facilities.

But those with this skill can analyze all minerals only with simple chants and magic formations, as long as they touch them. It is not a potential skill but a special derivative skill acquired by those who have been using and proficient in smelting for many years.

Quickly, Hajime decided to examine the surrounding minerals from one end. For example, when mineral-based appraisals are used for green stones, they appear on the status plate.

Green Stone

Ore with properties that absorb magic. When you accumulate magic, you emit a pale green light.

Dividing it by the magic accumulation, it emits a flash of light for what it was accumulating.

What a simple explanation. However, it is highly appreciated information.

Hajime laughed as he conceived of niggards and mischief. After that, wandering around looking for minerals that might be useful, I finally discovered the minerals I needed to make a weapon that would be a trump card for Hajime's partner.

combustion stone

Flammable ore. When ignited, the components are combusted into fuel. If you continue to burn, it will gradually become smaller and eventually burn out. Burning large quantities of combustion stones at once in a sealed place can explode, and its power is comparable to the top fire attribute magic depending on quantity and compression rate.

The moment Hajime saw this explanation, she felt like a current ran into her brain.

Can incendiary stones play the role of gunpowder where we say on Earth? If so, you might be able to produce maximum attack power with smelting that you can't use to attack! and.

Hajime was excited. It would take a lot of effort and trial and error to make it, but I was delighted that I might finally be able to gain the means to attack with the smelting that has saved me so many times before.

And after forgetting to sleep and even spending time on the ripeness of smelting, at the end of thousands of failures, Hajime finally succeeded in making something.

Modern weapon that pushes the shortest distance at speeds beyond sound speed and destroys targets with immense power.

The total length is about thirty-five centimetres, around here six series of rotary magazines made of taur ore with the highest hardness. Rectangular barrel. The bullet is also made of taur ore, inside which the powdered combustion stone is compressed and placed.

That is, a large revolver-style pistol.

Moreover, the bullet not only has the explosive power of the combustion stone, but also a small rail gun that is electromagnetically accelerated by the inherent magic of the hazy "entanglement thunder". Its power is up to ten times that of an objective rifle. I named him Donner. Because somehow I thought my partner needed a name.

"... this, that monster too... Escape... I can do it!

Hajime laughed thinly at Donner's other weapons made with reference to modern weapons in front of him.

However, it was the moment when such a commonplace craftsmanship of the "Smelter" and the "Smelting" produced weapons into the sword and the magical world, simply by successfully building swords and protective equipment.

Taur Ore

Black, hard ore. Hardness 8 (10 is the hardest in a 10-step evaluation). Resistant to shock and heat, but vulnerable to cold air. Cooling makes it brittle. When heat is applied, it is bonded again.
