-[ You have awakened! ]
I have never heard of an awakened person awakening again.
"Awakened? I've already awakened."
Dojun was quite embarrassed when he saw the created object.
"The sword has been made."
The materials on top of the mini workshop disappeared and a sword appeared.
It was a fairly ordinary iron sword.
Dojun was very impressed.
"Awakening Window."
>>
- Awakening Skill: [Grant Lower Option]*
- Awakening Skill: [Lower Emotion]*
- Awakening Skill: [Hand of Midas]*****
>>
"All my skills are gone. Did I really go back to the past?"
But there was a skill I had never seen before.
"Five stars."
The stars represent the skill level.
What this means is that the newly acquired skill is a top-tier skill.
Dojun immediately confirmed the Hand of Midas.
>>
-[Hand of Midas]
If you have the materials, you can make equipment right away.
The results are determined by the grade of the materials.
Stamina and mental power are consumed each time you use it.
You can strengthen it with points! ]
>>
"You can make equipment just by touching it? If you have the materials, you can make it without going through any other process?"
Dojun put his hand on his head.
Suddenly I felt dizzy.
"This mental power... is used in place of mana?"
It was written that physical and mental strength were consumed, and it was true that my physical condition was not very good after making the sword.
Dojun took a deep breath and came to his senses.
The first priority was to sort out the situation.
"I don't know why, but I returned to the past. It was about half a year after I woke up.'
This was Do-jun's studio in Shillim. 300 by 20. Semi-basement. It wasn't really a place where people could live, but it was a great place for Do-jun, who had no other choice.
"I woke up again and learned a new skill."
The only Awakened Persons with five-star skills that Dojun knew of were world-class Awakened Persons who appeared on TV every day or were heads of large corporations.
"The Hand of Midas."
It was the Hand of Midas, a skill that literally brought out a finished product by touching the material.
"I've never seen a skill like this."
Dojun has seen numerous producers over the past 10 years.
Some people saw it in person, while others saw it on the internet or on YouTube.
'No one had the skills to produce something like this.'
I could confirm it. At least according to Dojun's information, there is not a single producer who can produce some thing like this.
It doesn't make sense from the start.
"It's nonsense to say that something can be made just with the ingredients. It's nonsense to say that the end result comes out without any intermediate process."
Moreover, it was not of low quality. It was a reliable sword even at first glance.
"Lower emotions."
Dojun appraised the sword.
>>
-[Low Grade Iron Sword [Grade (D)]
A sword made of low-quality iron. Imbued with faint mana. ]
>>
"D-class?"
For a moment, Dojun doubted his eyes.
So far, Dojun has made countless things.
Since Dojun had no mana, virtually all items were out of grade.
It was natural that a rank was given only when even a little bit of mana was present.
"It is written that it is imbued with mana."
Dojun swallowed.
What is Dojun lacking now?
It's the inability to mana that still weighs on my body.
Mana was not generated naturally, and even when drinking mana boosting potions, mana did not accumulate well.
'Because it is a disease in which the circle itself is not formed in the heart.'
However, if you use this Hand of Midas, you can create an item imbued with mana.
"I can create artifacts. This Midas touch covers my shortcomings."
Dojun put his hand on the iron sword. His hand was shaking.
"I can imbue it with mana."
After the emotion, joy came once more.
Dojun grabbed his sword and swung it once.
Although it was a small studio, I was fortunate enough to be able to maneuver around quite well since I didn't have a lot of stuff.
"Good quality."
Even for a D-grade piece of equipment, the quality was quite good.
The most important thing to consider when it comes to equipment is this quality. Grade and quality are separate issues, and design and finishing are included in this quality.
"It's not much different from what I made myself. Could it be that it's influenced by my dexterity?"
Dojun examined the sword here and there. The only thing Dojun lacked was mana, and his dexterity in making it was quite good.
I didn't have any skills at the time, but after rolling around for 10 years, I gained some skills related to dexterity, so that says it all.
"With this kind of ability...."
Isn't this the ability that every creator dreams of?
Although his excitement surged for a moment, Dojun shook his head and suppressed his excitement as much as possible.
"I need to check more. There's still so much I don't know. Is it possible to create something of this quality simply by having the materials? Or are there other effects?"
I've only made one so far.
"and....
There was one more important thing.
It was exactly 10 years ago now.
It means that this was the time when Dojun was just beginning to awaken as a producer.
'Those days are still vivid in my mind.'
"You can start over."
Still having trouble with mana.
But I developed a skill to turn things around. That was enough.
"It's time to stop just dreaming."
.. .. ..
Swaaaahh...
Dojun, standing in the bathroom, blankly looked at his own face.
"If you think about it, the bosses really accepted such a poisonous looking guy."
The smiling face that had been there for 10 years was nowhere to be found, and only a face full of venom was left.
There was a sharp, never-smiling face in the mirror.
"Because there was nothing to laugh about. I didn't laugh much."
He was still in the same state as back then, awake but unable to figure out what to do.
Dojun washed his face and tidied his hair.
The opportunity for a reversal has arrived.
"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... came to me."
Apoorapoo.
Dojun continued to wash his face and tried to calm down. The most important thing was to find a direction.
"I didn't become an S-class Awakener. I just gained a skill."
There are many S-class Awakeners in the world. There are 30 in Korea alone.
'I just became one of them.'
Besides, Dojun still didn't know anything about this skill.
'I'm not a combat-type Awakener and I haven't made anything yet, so I have no means of protecting myself.'
"If you show off your abilities recklessly, you will only become prey."
I've seen all sorts of things over the past 10 years.
I've seen many promising players with innate crafting talent, awakening abilities, and powerful mana reveal their abilities only to be lured away by the guild and forced to live like slaves.
He was beaten, forced to work 10 hours a day for the guild, and was forced to work hard, squeezing his talents out of him.
'First, I need to find out more about my abilities.'
And it has been enough since then to reveal and value this ability.
It is a way to reveal your abilities when you can.
After a quick wash, Dojun found a familiar place.
Artisan's workshop street. This place, where numerous craftsmen from the manufacturing industry gathered to form a market, was the place Dojun had been visiting every day for 10 years.
"It reminds me of that time. Even the sign is still the same."
Dojun found a store on a familiar street.
Golden Hand Workshop.
It was one of Dojun's key business partners.
"Here it comes again, this one. I told you it's not possible? Granting low-level options is fine. Even low-level options are welcomed anywhere. But you say you don't have mana. If you don't have mana, you can't create the artifact itself?"
Golden Hand Workshop. Kim Chang-soo, who is often called Mr. Kim, shook his head.
At this time, Dojun was struggling to somehow break through to business partners and gain recognition for his skills.
'Mr. Kim was the only one who listened to me. He just kicked everyone else out. Without even listening to a word.'
Actually, that's right. Items that don't contain mana aren't even handled in this craftsman's workshop.
"I didn't come here today to ask you to do that."
"huh?"
For six months, Dojun worked various jobs and saved five million won in his bank account.
I brought five hundred in cash.
"I want to buy some ingredients."
"Huh. Are you trying to accumulate mileage? Even if you buy materials from our store, I can't accept your equipment."
"I'm not asking you to give me the finished product instead of buying the materials, boss. I came here because you, boss Kim, are the most conscientious seller of materials in this artisan workshop street. Don't all the bosses around here charge too much in commission? Even though they know that everyone who comes here has a hard time."
Dojun focused his eyes. Then he gave a look filled with sincerity that he had trained for ten years.
"Following what others do. Acting without any of my own stubbornness. That's not what a craftsman should do."
'This is the best. The bright eyes.'
And the speech.
"That's why I came to see you, Mr. Kim. I think Mr. Kim is the most stubborn blacksmith in this craftsman's street."
At Do-jun's words, Mr. Kim made a face as if to say, "Look at this?"
"That's a bit much. Well, if you say you're going to buy it, I won't stop you. No, you're my customer from now on."
Mr. Kim bowed his head.
"Come and take a look, customer. We have various materials, so please look around to your heart's content."
.. .. ..
clattering-.
Dojun placed the materials he purchased on top of the mini workshop.
"It was a D-class sword, perhaps because it was made from D-class materials."
D-class is not a low grade either.
This was especially true for Dojun, a Class F Awakened.
Equipment without mana is not considered an artifact and cannot obtain grades either. Therefore, this D-grade iron sword can be seen as the first artifact that Dojun created.
"Are the items made based on the grade of the materials? Then, if I buy S-grade materials, I will definitely get S-grade equipment?"
Dojun saw the only B-class material, platinum. "Platinum is originally a grade A material. And you can't buy it for 1 million won."
However, this platinum was of rather low quality. It had many scratches here and there, and above all, there was a deep scratch near the center.
"It's not even transparent."
But it was definitely high-quality material.
"I guess I'll have to check if I get a B-grade if I put in a B-grade."
Dojun put his hands on numerous materials.
"Let's do it."
-[Check the ingredients.
-Check the main ingredients.]
>>
The platinum that Dojun touched first sparkled.
-Main material [platinum]
"It's about deciding on the main ingredient."
Dojun recalled the time he had used the Hand of Midas just before
"It looks like it was made right away without any verification work like touching it all at once."
What he touched next was a square lump of iron.
- You have selected the sub-material.
Sub-material [Iron Ingot]
- The number of products that can be made is '1'.
- The materials have been met.
- Craft the equipment!
Shaaaaaaaaaaah-.
The material began to glow as it had at first.
-The equipment has been created!
"Okay...!"
What came out was a small shield.
It wasn't very big, probably because it contained one platinum and one iron ingot.
- [You created equipment that does not match your current level.
- You will receive a penalty.]
>>
Dojun staggered back and forth. His head felt quite dizzy and all the strength drained from his body.
"Ha, low-level emotions."
Even in the midst of all this, Dojun used his skills.
And I was able to confirm it.
If you use B-grade materials, you will get equipment equivalent to B-grade.
