Building an Entertainment Business Kingdom In Another World

Episode 2 (BIRTHDAY GIFT)

I don't think I'll be 7 years old soon. My parents explained that in this world, a 7-year-old should study at school. And at the age of 15, there will come a royal-ordered examiner looking for gifted children to study in the royal capital.

My parents didn't expect much, they just wanted me to grow up to be a healthy and responsible man because up until now no one in our village had managed to attend school in the royal capital.

Late afternoon. As usual, we gathered for dinner together with a piece of bread and a bowl of mother-made soup.

“Andra, won't you be 7 years old soon, what do you want?”, ask father to me.

“I don't want anything, yah”, I replied.

I was impressed like a good boy, but when I said no, I really did not want anything in this world. This world is really boring. There are no cinemas, video games, music concerts or anything related to worldly pleasures. All they do is work, work and work.

Even though I didn't do that in my previous world, in this life, I wanted to be a little more relaxed. However, it turns out that there is no. It seems that I am cursed not to be able to feel worldly pleasures.

Honestly, I feel a little frustrated. If I can't find any entertainment then I decided that I will make an entertainment business empire in this world.

“Darling, what if you made Andra a weapon?”, Mom said to Dad.

“Betul dear, soon Andra will be in school. I'll get him a gun”, Sahut dad agrees to mother's advice.

“No well, thank you. I want to be a businessman, not a fighter. So going to school will be of no use to me”, my refute.

Bukk…

Mom's pinning my head.

“Aduh”

“What did you say? Do you want us both in jail? All children your age should go to school”, Mother said while putting hands on my waist and glaring at me, I could only bow listlessly while father only held back laughter because of my stupid words.

Damn, this world is really troublesome. I was forced to show two blueprints. I was originally going to use this weapon to protect my business empire, but what a power it seems like I should use it to attend school this time. Hah, fighting using swords, spears, arrows and shields is not my style. Exhausting and ineffective.

“Andra want dad to make both of these weapons, and special on this part I want 20 pieces”

“What weapon is this nak?”, Dad scrunched his forehead when he saw the blueprint I gave him.

“Recrets yeah. If it's done, Andra will show”, I said with a smile to answer the question father, I feel impatient how father's reaction to see this great weapon made me.

The conversation closed our conversation today.

*****

Two months have passed. My mother woke me up as usual. I rushed to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. As usual, Dad sat down at the dinner table waiting for me to come in with a cup of coffee.

I feel like today is completely different. I don't usually take care of the dinner table after breakfast. Usually I will clean the dirty table when it's time for my father to work. That's how you remind yourself that work time has come. Suddenly my father put a large gift box right in front of me.

“Although too soon one day but happy birthday boy. I didn't expect that I could make it this fast, hahaha”, Dad laughed widely while scratching his head.

I was shocked to discover that everything I could accomplish in this short amount of time even without advanced machinery and equipment.

“Happy birthday nak”, Mom got out of her seat and hugged me.

“Can I open now?”, I ask them.

“Open son, I hope you like”

I was surprised when I opened the gift. It's absolutely perfect. How could these two things be made this fast and this detailed with makeshift equipment? Looks like I'll learn to dad if I'm an adult.

“How son, do you like?”, Dad asked me.

“It's really great yah”

“Thank God if you like it. By the way you will name it what?”

“Jagdkommando”

This knife is not shaped like a knife in general, it has 3 spiral-shaped blades. The goal is not to cut, but to stab. If pierced by this knife on a vital part, it can be ascertained that the person will die instantly.

“Jagdkommando? Creepy name, like the name of a wild animal ready to kill its prey”, Sahut mother.

“Hahaha nice son, a unique name like his weapon”, Dad laughed loudly while patting my back.

“Iya”, I nodded in agreement to father's words.

Then I saw an object that was very much composed of components consisting of various sizes, and did not have sharp angles like weapons in general.

“Then, what weapon is this son? Are you sure this can protect you from danger?”, Dad pointed to the other weapon. It was only natural that Dad said that because this weapon looks strange in this world, it is very small and without having sharp angles on all sides.

“Yakin. Give Andra a little time well, I'll show you”, then I assemble it. It didn't take long for me to finally finish it. “I'll name it Handgun”

“Handgun? Can you show me how it works?”, I look curious about how it works.

Shit I forgot, because of the question my father remembered that I needed gunpowder.

“Honey once well, it's still not usable. There are materials I need”

“What is nak?”

“Mesiu yah”

“Mesiu? What is it son, what kind of magic scroll?”

It turned out that gunpowder had not been found in this world. Dad alone as a blacksmith to the point of not knowing what I was asking. Means the answer is only one, I have to make it.

“Not yeah, it's some kind of magic thing but unfortunately now I don't have it”

“Where can we get it?”

“Above yah” volcano

“Sayang”, Mother said as she looked at father deeply.

“Good son, I promise we'll find him tomorrow. But you have to promise not to tell anyone”, I ignored my mother's words and agreed to my request.

“Iya, dad. Andra promised”

“Oh yes, there is something I want to give you. This is dia”, Dad gave a pouch made of black leather with a red pattern and a strap on it. “This is a magic bag. You can save anything in it.”

Well, I got a bonus item that was really valuable. This is the thing I really need to find sulfur in volcanoes.

“Thank you for the gift”, I answered and then I tied the bag to my waist.

“Dad, may I request back the blueprint I gave to dad?”

“Of course, it is yours”

We hurried off towards Blacksmith father.

When I got there, my father gave me the blueprints, and I received them and burned them in my furnace.

“Why did you burn my son, wasn't that your invention?”

Dad seemed surprised by what I did. How could a hard-earned blueprint be thrown away.

“If this spread is only going to cause disaster, yah”

I saw Dad, and he just scrunched his forehead while I hurried off to leave his blacksmith.
