ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Using Production Skill.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Please select the shape of the item to craft.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โAn axe.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Please specify the details of the axeโs shape.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Details, huh.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Just as swords come in various types, axes have their varieties too.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Single-handed or two-handed, double-edged, battle axes, throwing axes, and so on.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I chose a two-handed single-edged axe.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It seemed the best fit for logging.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Please choose the material for the axe.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I selected materials straightforwardly.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The axe head was made from a sturdy, heavy ore, while the handle used a strong but lighter ore.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A wooden handle wouldโve been ideal, but I didnโt have wood yet, so I made do.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Crafting is complete.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[โSturdy Logging Iron Axeโ has been obtained.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The resultโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A straightforward S-grade iron axe.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Solid and sturdy, it looked perfect for logging.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The issue?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โItโs heavier than I thought.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Being a two-handed axe, it was large, and as a solid iron axe, it was quite heavy.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
My stats had improved with leveling, but the weight was noticeable for prolonged work.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A pity, but unavoidable.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Iโd make a lighter axe with a wooden handle after logging.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
For nowโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Thwack!
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I started logging.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Logging felt unfamiliar at first, but soonโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Your class โBlacksmithโ has been influenced by โHephaestusโ Descendant (SSS)โ, creating the profession skill โLoggingโ.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The Logging skill was born.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Swinging the axe became much easier.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
That said, chopping any tree didnโt yield results.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Like finding ore veins or silk threads, I used Hephaestusโ Descendant to locate loggable trees and swung the axe.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The heavy axe was tiring, but its solid iron construction was powerful, cutting through trees efficiently.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Soon, I found a distinctive tree among the wallโs ordinary ones.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Hitting it hardโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Shade Tree]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A material dropped.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Shade Tree.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A fantastical tree that doesnโt exist in reality.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Of course, it wasnโt the only type.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Common woods like paulownia and oak also appeared.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Even so, these were proper items, far superior to real-world wood.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โItโs about time for a cry.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Sure enough, a Golem approached from the distance.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Its form was similar to Area 1โs Ore Golems and Area 2โs Silk Golems.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A Golem made entirely of wood, fitting Area 3โs theme.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
My work clothes boosted defense during production activities, so logging now gave me high defense.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It could block most attacks.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Thenโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Clatter.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The Wood Golem produced something from its hands.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A wooden sword?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A wooden sword in its right hand and a wooden shield in its left.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Unlike Silk Golems, which rushed recklessly, it took a proper combat stance, approaching cautiously like a trained soldier.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โPretty serious, huh?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It looked strong, but I trusted my work clothesโ performance.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
They might not shine in regular combat, but during production activities like logging, their defense was top-notch, capable of blocking even daggers.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
And in my hands was a heavy iron axe, perfect for smashing a Wood Golem.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โHand over your materials!โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
That day, I spent the Mineโs remaining time hunting Wood Golems.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โPhew, refreshing.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I finished logging and left the Mine.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
My first time in Area 3.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
As a wood-based area, I gathered various wood materials.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โShall we have gukbap tonight?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I opened the delivery app, and soon, gukbap arrived.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Not just any gukbap, of course.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A large serving of boiled pork, sliced pork, and traditional sundae.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Not regular gukbap, but special deluxe gukbap.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Stirring it with chopsticks, the meat and offal inside looked mouthwatering.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โNothing beats gukbap when youโre starving.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Hearty meat.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Chewy sliced pork.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Savory sundae.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
And perfectly boiled pork.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
With side dishes like chili peppers and garlic, my stomach and weary heart felt full.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Another complete meal.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
If this were the past, Iโd have challenged a mukbang YouTuber with this amount.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
After devouring it all in one sittingโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โLetโs check the skill.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
As mentioned after defeating the spider, I checked the new skill at Level 25.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Blacksmithโs Soul.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The name immediately brought to mind โEgo Weaponโ.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
In old novels, protagonists bantered with soul-infused weapons.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
But checking the skill window, Blacksmithโs Soul was completely different from what Iโd imagined.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Blacksmithโs Soul]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Infuses crafted equipment with the blacksmithโs soul, creating Hephaestusโ Assistant.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Assistant?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
What does that mean?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โSo, it makes a Living Armor?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It wasnโt certain, but the description suggested as much.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Living Armor.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Also called animated armor, a well-known monster.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
As the name implies, itโs armor that moves on its own without a wearer.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Theyโre notoriously hard to deal with due to their lack of clear weaknesses.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Making a Living Armor as a blacksmith?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Iโd never heard or seen such a thing.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โIf this works, itโs a game-changer!โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
For a moment, I imagined its uses.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
First, combat.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Like the monster Living Armor, crafting an aggressive one to fight Mine Golems or boss monsters would be great.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Boss monsters are getting too strong for me alone, so a combat Living Armor would be reassuring.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Second, mining.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The Mineโs time limit is now 8 hours, but I canโt mine all day.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A mining, spinning, or logging Golem would save time.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Third, crafting and disassembly.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Having it assist with crafting to boost Vulcanus Forgeโs production.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Any of these would greatly aid my future endeavors.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โThis is huge!โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Imagining is fine, but action is better.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I decided what to make.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Using Production Skill.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Please select the shape of the item to craft.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โAn axe! And what did a lumberjackโs work clothes look like?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
An axe and work clothes for logging.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A Living Armor to handle logging and Golem hunting in Area 3.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
That was my first Living Armor.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters

ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[โLumberjackโs Work Clothes Topโ has been obtained.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Lumberjackโs Work Clothes Top]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Type: Top
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Grade: SS
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Restriction: Hephaestusโ Descendant
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Description: Work clothes crafted by Hephaestusโ Descendant for their assistant, designed for logging.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Defense: 100
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters

ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Nice.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I crafted exactly what I wanted.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Lumberjackโs Work Clothes.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Unlike my usual work clothes, which boost all production activities, these outperform during logging.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โKeep going!โ

ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Living Armor is literally animated armor.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Since itโs just armor, I needed to craft everything from boots to gloves and headgear.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
After completing the work clothes and placing the original axe beside themโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โReady!โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I was set to create the Living Armor.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Using a new skill was a first, but itโs just a skill.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Iโd use it like always.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โBlacksmithโs Soul!โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
No oneโs watching in my room.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
As I shouted the skill nameโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Flash!
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A sensation like something leaving my body, and a shimmering light was absorbed into the work clothes.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[The Blacksmithโs Soul is infused into Lumberjackโs Work Clothes Top.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[The Blacksmithโs Soul is infused into Lumberjackโs Work Clothes Bottom.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[The Blacksmithโs Soul is infused into Lumberjackโs Work Cap.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The soul infused into all the equipment.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Thenโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[The Blacksmithโs Soul takes form.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The equipment on the floor connected.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The top and bottom joined, gloves attached to the arms, boots to the legs.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The gloves gripped the axe, and the cap floated above the top, bending its knees and slowly rising.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[Please name the Blacksmithโs Soul.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A name?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I didnโt expect to name it.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I considered a cool name but thought I might make more Living Armors.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Cool names could be hard to remember later.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โLumberjack 1.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
[The Blacksmithโs Soul is named โLumberjack 1โ.]
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
A straightforward, memorable name.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
As the skill finishedโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
The work clothes stood.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
No, Lumberjack 1.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Ooh.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It knelt on one knee and bowed its head toward me.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Well, the cap tilted slightly, but still.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Thus, a Living Armor was complete.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Unlike typical Living Armor, which evokes sturdy moving armor, Lumberjack 1 in work clothes was different.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โHow do I control it? Can you stand?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Yes.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Ooh.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Lumberjack 1 stood at my command.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Not only did it follow orders, it responded.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
I thought Living Armor couldnโt speak.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Curious, I tried talking to it.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โDo you know your name?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โLumberjackโฆ 1.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โYou donโt dislike it, right? I gave it in case you get more companions, but if you donโt like it, tell me.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โI like it. Lumberjackโฆ 1.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Talking revealed its traits.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Fortunately or not, it lacked free will.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It strictly followed my orders.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
For exampleโ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โAnything you want to do?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โPlease giveโฆ orders.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โAny order? Like 100 squats?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โ100 squatsโฆ commencing.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โNo, no, you donโt have to!โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It was born to obey.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
As my assistant, thatโs expected.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โWhat are you best at?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โCutting trees.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โHmm, really? Can you solve this?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Maybe because itโs a lumberjack set, it considered logging its strength.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
To test its intelligence, I opened a puzzle on my computer, but it couldnโt solve it.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Luckily, it followed instructions on how to solve it well.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It wasnโt a lack of intelligence but knowledge.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โCool.โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
It was fun.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Having someoneโor somethingโto talk to after so long felt refreshing.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Can this be called โconversationโ?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Why not?
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Itโs better than muttering to a volleyball in a castaway movie.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
No offense.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
My lifeโs like being stranded in my room.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Until Lumberjack 1, I was chatting with Ember.
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
โShall we make some companions?โ
ComplexStringWithรรรandotherUnicodeCharacters
Having made Lumberjack 1, I needed more.
