We have a level system in place for mankind.

"Hold on tight"

Nishino worried and called out to the Emperor.

"I'm sane. I really have a game like status screen in my head. Maybe last night's weird voice has something to do with it"

Nishino looked weird.

"What kind of voice is the level?

"Did you also hear the lawyer teacher? That's right." The level system is in place, "he said. I think that has something to do with it."

Upon arrival at City Hall, the Emperors confirmed that a large number of citizens were evacuated to City Hall. When the city hall official learned that the mayor's nephew had visited him, he led him to the room of the mayor, the Handwash Orthodox Church (Ikari).

"Well done. I was just worried about what was going on."

My parents probably asked me to find the Emperor. My uncle in his early sixties looks like the boss of a sagging gang under his eyes.

"Sounds like you're worried, sorry"

"No, it's fine if you were fine."

"By the way, uncle. What does the Japanese government and administration think of this situation?

The mayor sighed.

"I don't know. I can't reach you."

"What about the internet?

"No. I can't get back to you when I text you. But the landline was connected only once an hour ago. I spoke to the governor on the phone. They say a militia base in the province has been destroyed."

"Oh, no..."

It was shocking information. According to the mayor, the police also had a large number of victims and the prefectural governor issued a ban on going out. The prefectural governor responded quickly, saying that in other prefectures people who went outside were attacked by monsters and many were dead.

"What's your uncle going to do now?

"We're going to wait for the Japanese government to rescue us."

"I'm just waiting, are you okay?

"You can't tell an unarmed citizen to fight monsters. Even the police have a victim."

On that day's border, the civilization built by mankind gradually collapsed. One of the causes of this is the massive outbreak in oil-producing countries of a monster of giant lizards, known as oil lizard, which favours oil. Oil Lizard interrupted oil mining, so oil stopped traveling to countries around the world.

Humanity, which has lost oil, has lost much of its means of fighting monsters. Those monsters somehow appeared to favor urban areas, and mankind fled from cities to rural areas.

Only those who escaped safely were not, and more than half of mankind died. The majority of them weren't killed by monsters. He died of mysterious oddities. It took a lot of time to figure out that the cause of this was toxicity to the breath that the monster drains when it breathes.

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

When I noticed it was falling in the air trenches. I try to remember what I was doing with my boggly head.

"Right. I got skills like" manipulative flames. "

When I checked my status, my active skills had more skills called 'Manipulative Flame: 1' and my skill points were '09'. I can see that the acquisition point for this skill is nine points.

Well, what can this skill do? Examine information about manipulative inflammation engraved in the brain. According to this, it is the technique of producing and manipulating particles called the flaming smelter "Enrenshi".

I don't know where the Flaming Smelter will be summoned from. The amount of Flame Smelter that can be manipulated varies depending on the skill of the surgeon, and at skill level 1, it seems exquisite to generate a candle flame level.

The manipulative inflammation technique that can be activated at skill level 1 is called [inflammation]. The way it's activated is like a switch engraved in the back of the spirit, and they just need to push it.

I started my training to improve my skills in manipulation. The only way to do this is to repeat the task of creating flames in the air and putting them out. After several days of training, my skill level rose to 2. Then we could produce flames like flamethrowers.

The amount of Flaming Smelter you can summon at the same time seems to depend on your skill level. It can also make the flame thicker and shorter or thinner and longer. On the contrary, it could even be extended long while spiraling the flame.

However, just because you spiral it, it doesn't seem to increase its power.

"You look cool."

It seems to call a flame-emitting move like a flamethrower [flamethrowing]. I considered if I could defeat Minotaur with this. - That would be difficult. That's what I concluded. You may get burns, but you won't be able to do any damage that could be fatal.

I decided to continue my training to improve my skills in manipulation. Parallel to that, he defeats Lizardman to also increase his skill level in sticking.

Cardiac stone processing will allow you to turn cardiac stones into resin when your skill level reaches 3. You can think that this resin is like plastic.

I just can now produce a plate of resin, so it's useless at that point. However, when the cardiolithic procedure reached skill level of 4, the ability to plasticize was added.

This is the ability to process yarn, cloth, iron ingots, and resin plates produced from cardiolite into clothes, needles, knives, cups, etc. I used this ability to make clothes.

The season is about to change into winter. My days of fighting the strange beasts with tough food conditions have continued and I have lost weight. The clothing you are wearing has been transformed into a small cloth produced from heart stone that has been processed into clothing with plastic processing.

This ability to process traits really worked like magic and was interesting.

At night he refined his technique of creating various things with cardiolithic processing, and continued to turn the island clockwise during the day practicing manipulation flames. Defeat the beasts you encounter along the way and proceed. When I went around the mountain circumference about 70%, I encountered Minotaur.

I was poked at. We thought we'd run into each other someday, but it was faster than we expected. I always thought I was in the woods near the sandy beach. But it didn't seem that way.

It was when I went out through the rocks along the coast. Besides, I got eyes on Minotaur at that moment.

"Oh, shit."

There was a dumb voice.

"Bumo-o-o-o-o!

A roaring minotaur shook up and attacked a huge axe. I rushed to use [Flamefire]. An orange flame erupted like a rocket engine, burning Minotaur's chest.

A scream came up from the mouth of the cowhead. Minotaur shades the flames with an axe with an angry look on his face, and pushes forward with the unobstructed Shannya. - No, you can't. Again, in the [flameshot] flames, I can't tailor a monstrous cow. The impending power of Minotaur was so awesome that it gave me goosebumps.

I retreated with Jirijiri and thought about what to do. I also thought about turning back, but the enemy seems to have faster legs. The only thing left is the sea. Can this guy swim?

I decided to bet on the ocean. Stop [flaming] and you start running towards the sea. About twenty meters to the sea, he desperately jumped into the rushing sea.

Swim just a little offshore and turn around. Minotaur followed him to the waves, but not to the sea. Probably can't swim.

The season was winter and cold in the sea. I swam towards the trenches. When he lost sight of Minotaur, he went up from the rocks to the island and walked back to the air trenches.

"Ugh, it's cold"

Take off your wet clothes with your trembling fingers and "come over" the fire. You're in terrible shape. After all, Minotaur is an exceptional monster. You want a weapon, you can't fight with a little twig.

I got dressed, and I took out the stacked cardiac stones. The skill level for cardiolithic procedures is currently 4. I have a response that seems to be coming up a little bit, but I am trampled because of the priority given to manipulation and Xiao Zhoutian.

I wanted clothes, so I've been polishing heart stone processing around the production of cloth and the practice of processing it. From now on, let's sharpen our technology around iron production and processing. That way, can a weapon be created?

He continued to produce iron in cages in air trenches for about two days, raising his skill level for cardiolithic processing to 5. thereby obtaining a technique called [potency conferring].

Before trying to give effect, I made a throwing knife first. Hold the iron ingot that was accumulating in your hand and deform the ingot using the ability to process the traits while floating the shape of the throwing knife in your mind.

A clump of crooked iron turns into the shape of a throwing knife I thought of. I could make it better than I thought. Apparently, my cardiolithic skills assisted me.

The throwing knife that could be done weighed 200 grams with a total length of about 20 cm and a blade length of about 10 cm. It is a slightly thicker throwing knife because it was originally about 200 grams of ingot.

I went outside and threw a throwing knife that I had just been able to do toward the tree. The semi-rotated knife stabs a gusset in the trunk of the tree. Even though this is my first time, I stabbed him properly, probably because of his throwing skills.

"Is the power there? It works for Lizardman, but I don't know about Minotaur. I feel a little uncomfortable."

Given the blade tip of the throwing knife eating about five centimetres into the trunk of the tree but the chest plate with the thickness of the minotaur, I thought it wouldn't even reach the heart.

In the meantime, after making ten throwing knives, let's make the main weapon, the Japanese knife. I think swords dominate the game over Japanese swords, but I thought Japanese swords would be swords.

But production fails. The warped body was completed.

"I wonder what went wrong"

Then I tried everything and found that the amount and length of iron ingots was the problem. My technique seems to limit it to four iron ingots and a blade length of 30 cm.

On that condition, I can only make about a sidebar or a dagger. So I decided to make Yamada, a mountain knife I had seen at my grandfather's house in the country. It is a mountain knife with a total length of 50 cm, a blade length of 30 cm and a blade thickness of about 7 mm.

I succeeded in completing the Mountain Knife as hoped.
