For example on my calculations his stats are greater or lower, those would be updated according to what the author wrote.

“It was definitely a Goblin.”

I’ve caught a few goblins so far, and I am really familiar with them.

But Goblin, who attacked me and was rebounded by me, disappeared within the fog.

I put Goblin’s bloodstained billiards on the floor and put on a serious look on my face.

I don’t know if it only happens to me or if something is wrong with the world, but the sense of crisis I felt at this moment is beyond words.

I knew adventure on the Mu continent was dangerous, but it was a dream world story.

But if the threat goes beyond dreams to reality, the way of life that has been adhered to so far is bound to change.

I don’t think this is the time to be idle and taking care of the interview.

In the future, it was necessary to be prepared in reality.

“I need to have a proper weapon.”

Having lost my composure, I didn’t think to argue with dystrophy, or any illegal weapon alterations.

I wish I could get a gun or a bomb, but these are things that cannot be held by individuals in Korea.

Even if I don’t have a gun, I have skills, so I think I can protect myself if I am given a proper cold weapon.

Before I knew it, I was searching for a blacksmith in Seoul.

“Am I making a big deal out of it?”

No, this was a perfectly natural response to a situation that cannot be written off as a coincidence.

There is no harm in being cautious about anything.

Even more so if it has something to do with personal security.

“Wasn’t there some kind of hazy smoke in the middle just now?”

“Yeah, it’s gone.”

A conversation between the two middle-aged men heard while climbing the mountain quickly.

Their conversation, which seemed to have come for a walk, made me think that the extraordinary event just now might not be just for me.

If anyone else had been involved in the fog, there must have been a major loss of life.

“A double-edged sword that can be separated from the handle into a screw?”

“Yes, and I’d like the center to be about 5 millimeters thick.”

Surprisingly, there were still quite a few blacksmiths in Seoul that can be customized.

When I visited a small but famous place for my master’s skill, I asked the owner with a good smile.

“Is it possible to make it?”

“What are you going to use this for?”

“For camping.”

Whether my answer felt suspicious, he squinted.

However, he replied without saying anything whether he intends to ignore the request.

“A knife cannot exceed 14 centimeters in length except for cooking and civil engineering. Is that all right with you?”

He is making it more than 30cm in his mind, but he was forced to nod at his attitude of drawing a line.

The owner of the blacksmith’s shop in Karas Village would respond with a smile, but in Seoul, I didn’t feel very good looking at it with my eyes full of doubts.

Well, I don’t think there’s anything he can do about it either.

My request is unusual and my answer is suspicious.

“Instead, please make two identical sizes. Make the screw part long.”

“We have to put the blade on both sides, and it’s a little expensive because of its thickness and special shape. I should get 30 for each.”

Is it expensive?

I think it’s cheap.

“Our blacksmith’s proud steel doesn’t break, no matter how tough it is. You can’t think of it as a rough iron knife.”

Looking at his complexion, it looked hard to cut prices.

“That’s great. Is it possible to make it by any chance.

“It’s only until tomorrow at the earliest.”

“Then please do so by tomorrow. Please make it strong.”

“Leave it to me.”

If I told the blacksmith that I want to make a spear, he won’t make it for me.

If I make an accident with it, the producer will be in trouble.

So I thought that I would ask the blacksmith to make a blade and the body be made in a carbon manufacturer.

This would have to be expensive, but I wanted to make a proper spear.

After leaving the blacksmith’s shop with a down payment of 200,000 won, I went to a company that sells self-defense equipment, bought a body armor, gloves, bulletproof hat, and a gas gun that can be purchased without a three-stage stick and police permission.
