At first I was happy to think that I might be able to make a pickaxe using the [Crafting Table] skill, but the reality was not that easy.
Ding!
[Crafting Table: Iron ore needs to be melted first in order to get Iron ingot]
I can't make a pickaxe before it melts iron ore into iron bars. It made me feel desperate and think about going up because after all I could not process iron ore without adequate equipment.
‘Maybe Grock can help me melt these irons.’ Thought.
But my footsteps stopped again considering Grock's condition was already very bad. I'm not sure if he can help me melt iron ore because the freezing infection the dwarf suffered would get worse when exposed to the heat from the fire.
“I can't ask Grock for help. Is there any other way to get a pickaxe?.” my questions echo in the quiet passageway, of course no one answered him because I was at a depth of almost three kilometers from the ground.
But my guess turned out to be wrong.
Ding!
[Crafting Table: You can make Stone Pickaxe]
Hearing the sudden voice made me shocked. “Crazy, I had time to feel my heart stop for a moment.” for fear of an impromptu attack I looked back and made sure no one else. “Yap I'm alone, it's hard to be sure it's the sound of the system.”
After making sure there was no ‘something’ behind me, my attention was re-routed on the menu stat that I had unknowingly undergone a change.
There are several options added.
Previously when first playing the game, the system menu only has four options, namely Stat Avatar, inventory, Map and Log out.
The [avatar status] option serves to view statistics and add stat points to strengthen the Avatar.
[Inventory] is useful for looking at all the items I have.
[Map] yes to see the map especially.
While the [Log out] option is used to exit the game.
Fun fact, Log out Option more often I noticed from other options and be the reason I open the system Menu three minutes once. It's because I'm afraid if suddenly the Log out option disappears.
In addition to the initial four options, there are now two new options namely [Table Crafting] and [Recipes]. Looking at the options on the Crafting Table I don't know what I can do with this system. There are ten empty boxes and all items are in the inventory. But my mind was instantly enlightened once I saw the Recipe option.
The Recipe System lets me see what items I can make using all the items in the inventory. My attention was immediately fixated on a new pickaxe that could be made with three stone blocks and two sticks.
“But how do I get [Stick] ?.”
Ding!
[Crafting Table: Advice! Use expertise (disassembly) on ‘Arrow’ to get ‘Tikpand’]
“Oh.... Okey...” I nodded my head hearing the suggestion of a voice coming out of nowhere.
“Eth why I started to feel if this geme is starting to feel horror.” I feel like that because the sound I just heard is very different from the usual notification sound.
Following the direction of the nonexistent voice, I dismantled ten arrows out of the 25 that Sania gave me. From one arrow I got a stick, feather and obsidian stone used as arrow eyes.
Ding!
[Crafting Table: the materials needed to make (Stone Pickaxe) have been collected. Do you want to make a stone pickaxe?]
Out of the ten arrows I had dismantled, I obtained materials that could be used to make five stone pickaxes. Realizing that the stone pickaxe would be weaker than the Iron pickaxe, I chose to make as much as I could.
Ding!
[Getting 50 Exp]
I immediately picked up one of the stone pickaxes I just made. It was heavier and when I used it the effectiveness of digging deep under an iron pickaxe. But using a stone pickaxe is much better than using an axe to dig
“Alright let's continue.” My hand back swinging the pickaxe, the journey to sun flower back to walk.
Using a stone pickaxe makes the excavation even heavier, in addition to the durability of the stone pickaxe which makes it more easily destroyed, other problems also come when there are some materials that can not be destroyed using a stone pickaxe.
“Truly troublesome,” I was forced to find another way to pass through the material that could not be destroyed by the stone pickaxe.
The next hundred meters I passed heavier, although there was no stamina stat but I felt mentally tired. Maybe I'd better log out to rest, but the problem is sleeping in this tunnel isn't safe.
Brak!
“Oh f4ck you!.” I swore loudly when for the umpteenth time the stone pickaxe I used was destroyed. It was the fourth stone pickaxe that I destroyed in order to reach a distance of a hundred meters.
Only thirty meters left.
Thank you for a very large Map system services made me able to survive so far. If only I had not known the remaining distance and did the digging blindly it might have been hours ago I had given up looking for Sun Flower.
Returning to continue the excavation, I used one pickaxe in each hand then activated Viking rage to increase the damage. Although the way to dig like this is faster but also makes the durability of the pickaxe more quickly reduced.
Brak! Another pickaxe was destroyed, remaining one who was soon also fared the same as his partner.
Rock pickaxe with the rest of one durability I swing, once hit the stone, the pickaxe broke, but I was not angry to see it was precisely my smile widened to see the gap in the light emitting stone.
“Finally after a long trip!.” two arrows I unloaded to make one stone pickaxe.
I wishfully swung the pickaxe, hoping to find a result and an end. Even though the skin of the palms was peeled off and bleeding I kept digging.
Remembering the time against Thunder Rooster the pain I experienced back then was so terrible. The suffering I am feeling right now is nothing.
The dring!
The hole widened further making a brighter light than runes hit my face. It was as dazzling as sunlight.
Once inside the light source, I was immediately greeted by a flower bed that emitted such a bright light. I continued walking into the middle of the flower field, but my legs were not strong until I ended up falling prostrate. I picked a flower in front of me to make sure it was the sun I was looking for.

Tears slowly fell down my cheeks, this felt so relieving as well as heartwarming. My body felt so limp that I finally lay in the middle of a field of flowers.
The exhaustion I accumulated during the excavation left me unable to move the Avatar, I could only silently stare at the twinkling ceiling of Goa like a star.
My eyes felt so heavy, drowsiness came forcing me to rest. I finally fell asleep in peace.
Ding!
[Happy you be the first to discover the hidden tomb of Queen Valkyrie]
***
Seriate.
Author: The original plan of the hidden tomb discovered by Estrid was not the queen of Valkyrie but ‘Queen snake’.
But after deep thought and fear of the novel fared just like any other novel author, so the author decided not to involve the other Nove.
At least not for now.
