I'm back in the city of Carlas, where I work.
It's been a long time since I've been back at the inn... but my work has been going around a long time without me.
... that's what happened when Lynn was gone, but if it's someone else's job, it's no longer a place to be right away.
Go to your room.
I was thinking a lot as I stroked Val's head waiting in the room.
Me too... I guess I'll look for something I can only do.
What I can only do...... that would be a blacksmith.
If it's my ability to build a variety of things, it wouldn't be bad to live that way.
With that in mind, it was when I was checking my abilities.
I noticed the level was reaching 30.
... I wasn't really aware of the level lately, but some of that stuff did.
Level 30, huh? It's getting pretty expensive, but has this added anything you can accomplish?
With that in mind, a letter appeared in front of me.
"Confirm you have reached level 30. You can now acquire new abilities'
... new abilities?
I will look further at the letter with concern.
"Rebirth possible. Do you reincarnate?
... reincarnation? What the hell is this all about?
I know the word reincarnation itself.
as one concept of religion.
That whoever does good has an afterlife.
... that if you don't do something against God, the human being will be saved.
But what does reincarnation here mean?
Very, very concerned.
I will drink my spit and find out about reincarnation.
... Apparently, I could do a lot of research by displaying letters in front of me.
I looked around reincarnation, and there - I found one sentence.
'You can acquire new abilities by reincarnating. There will also be the liberation of the level ceiling'
... new abilities.
Continue reading the text further.
"The ability to be acquired in reincarnation will be the production of artifacts"
"Production of artifacts!?
Unexpectedly, I raise my voice. He turns his neck this way as if Val, who was holding him, was surprised.
Bad, bad... you surprised me.
As I stroke my head, I continue to read more letters.
'However, reincarnation also generates the following disadvantages: Level returns to 1. Lose everything you've ever been able to make. You will also lose all skills, etc. of what you have made so far. It also changes what you can make depending on the level'
... I see.
Reborn returns level to 1.
I also lose everything I've ever been able to make.
But - even with them on the scale, I found the part where it was possible to make this artifact very appealing.
An artifact that can gain so much power that I can't really reach it.
If we even get this, maybe we can help Lynn.
... It's just that the problem is this reincarnation.
If reincarnation... is really about living a new life, I could never make a choice.
Because... I'm improving my ability to forge now to help Lynn.
Getting strong power by reincarnation makes no sense if there is no phosphorus there.
It was time to look further into reincarnation.
A new sentence emerged.
"Rebirth. I offer to return to level one. Once you die, it's not synonymous with something that will lead a new life '
... That's where the commentary on reincarnation appeared.
... as if 'blacksmith' had answered this question.
This will increase the number of things you can make if you give it a level again.
If so - wouldn't it be okay to reincarnate and bring the level back to 1?
I stretch my fingers to the letter "reincarnation" that appeared in front of me.
Press this... something will definitely change.
Instincts understand that.
I hug Val all the time.
"Vu?
"Val...... is it okay to push reincarnation?
"... Va!
Val tilted his neck as he thought, then shook his neck vertically with a dust.
... Val was created by me.
So I also thought you had the answer I wanted.
... but it was also true that the troubles were only slightly lighter after hearing Val's reply, which nevertheless gained momentum.
Do it, huh?
It would also require some sacrifice to acquire even higher abilities.
That's what I thought. I stretch my fingers to the letter 'reincarnation' that appears in front of me.
Poof, I felt a push. The letter 'reincarnation' sinks. … yet, reincarnation is not complete.
If you let go of this finger, you'll probably 'reincarnate'.
I let go of my fingers from the letters.
It was that moment.
Dunno, my chest pulsed loudly once.
I'm attacked by breathlessness.
I immediately put my hand on my chest and breathed roughly over and over again.
Val looks at my face worried.
To such a val, one hand with a bitter smile manages to cause pain.
The pain eventually disappeared.
But at the same time, it feels like my consciousness is forced off... It's like turning off the lights in the room. I fell on the spot.
Glad you had a bed.
With that in mind, I tried to sink my body into the bed and closed my eyes.
Only the sound of Val was echoing in the distance.
