Chapter 1.7: My Hands are Back!

Home destroyed.

Along with my broken home, my heart was also broken. The house that I was proud of, that I built from scratch with my own hard-earned power has now been flattened to the ground.

Though the purpose of the fight was actually to prevent Mr. Hecaton from walking past my house and stepping on it by accident. But it was not achieved.

If you think my heart has been hurt enough because my palace house has been destroyed, you are wrong. Is correct. I only have one hand. I lost my left hand while trying to escape from the clutches of Mr. Hecaton who slammed me to the ground repeatedly.

And even though I've been using [Healing], but it won't necessarily make my wounds heal right away. I can still feel the pain all over my body from that fight.

It seemed like [Healing Lv. 1] could only heal injuries on the outside only. I don't know at what level this Skill will be able to heal the internal injuries on my body. So for a while, I had to be patient first on my condition of having only one hand.

But!

But! But! But!

But if you ask me if my fight against Mr. Hecaton is futile or not. Of course the answer is no. Thanks to Mr. Hecaton and his high quest difficulty level, I managed to obtain a Skill from Side Quest at once without needing to wait for long.

The ancients said that all that rises after a great storm is warm sunshine. And it's happening to me right now! Let's take a look at the explanation on the Skills I just obtained.

The [Appraisal] skill that helped me to peek at the enemy status I had already obtained. In this way, I can arrange a mature strategy if I am dealing with an alien enemy.

If the enemy is too strong and impossible to defeat, I will run. But if the enemy is easier, then I will make it an EXP field for my level. Hehehe .. talk about super genius plans. Sometimes I'm too smart for this world.

I also remember that for example in RPG games, we can even see what enemy Skills and elements he has. During the fight against Mr. Hecaton last week, I knew nothing about him and all the perceptions I had in mind were just my guesses.

Luckily he did not have any troublesome elements, Mr. Hecaton purely relied on his physical strength and the speed of hundreds of his hands and the thickness of his skin.

Penetrating his skin really frustrated me and even the [Dark Wave] as well as the martial arts of the [Martial Art] Skill became useless in the face of his hard skin. I can't imagine if he had the earth element or the fire element for example, I might have been an Arka geprek.

By the way, I got a new title. [Hecatoncheires Slayer] was written here, it seemed like it was Mr. Hecaton's real name that was too difficult for me to pronounce. And when I read the advantages of this title, it turns out I got Buff Status as much as 20% if against enemies larger than me— has a minimum height of 10 meters.

Hm .... It seems every title I get will get Buff and the uniqueness of each, for example this Buff Pak Hecaton. Oh yea! Didn't I also get the title when I just came here.

I scrolled the hologram screen until I found my initial title, [Movement Man]. Then I looked to see if the title also had a particular Buff or not.

"There's."

My eyes widen when I find out that this title has also had Buff. I'm a little sorry for ever mocking and wanting to change this title. Then I read the explanation.

"Getting the Passive Skill [Blessing of God] from Goddess Loki ...."

So this passive skill is the one who became Buff this title? His name is a bit strange. [Blessing of God] which means 'God Blessing'.

Eh? Wait, sec! Here the system says that the one who gives this passive Skill is Goddess Loki.

The goddess?! Is the system not written wrong? The letter 'A' with the letter 'I' is quite far away on the keyboard, you know! Shouldn't Loki be if in the movie the God who is famous for being stubborn and not willing to submit, huh? Is it not the same nature here?

Argha! I don't know! My head gets dizzy when I think about things like this! It is better that I admire my own increasing intelligence and strength! Haha ...! Also true. That's my best way to get rid of this stress-induced headache.

As I was laughing and grinning, I accidentally nudged the weapon I had placed on the tree trunk. The long-handled sickle-shaped weapon that I made from Mr. Hecaton's ribs.

I took it and looked at it in more detail. Mr. Hecaton's ribs were too big so I had to cut them off and take the curved parts instead, then I had to sharpen it so that the blade became sharper and finally the eighty-inch long sickle blade was finished.

And for the handle, I use a pine log that I have shaved and sanded in such a way that the diameter fits and fits in my grip. And his own height is higher than mine.

The last time I measured my height was about 165 cm— you could say 166 cm to make me happy. But that's definitely not far from around that. And the length of this scythe handle is about 180 cm, so it's a bit of a hassle to carry it around.

What's?! You ask why I chose the scythe as my main weapon? Of course to bring my main element to life! The [Darkness] element is closely related to death and the angel of death aka the Grim Reaper.

Moreover now I have a Skill [Rot]. Imagine if I mixed that Skill with my scythe, the living thing that hit it would instantly disappear from civilization and become ashes.

Hehe .. Just imagining it made me cry myself. But unfortunately I still can't combine those two things. The moment I tried it before, my scythe that was earlier instantly became crushed into ashes and I could no longer wear it.

So I can deduce that weapons materials weaker than Skill [Rot] will not be able to combine with it. Therefore ... I could only sigh resignedly and bury deeply into my previous cool dream.

And the next thing I want to comment on is clothes.

The last outfit I wore when I came here was a regular, white-gray high school uniform. But the uniform was not strong in resisting intense and long battles. Even when fighting the grilled lizard for the first time, my uniform had started to tear and shabby.

And the peak when fighting Mr. Hecaton. Just when I lost my hand, I also lost my clothes. So inevitably I have to give it up and bury them properly.

Thank you for accompanying me for one year of school and three weeks here, your services I will never forget. I could feel that he was calm in the sky at this moment and gave his thumbs to me.

Therefore!

Jengs! Jengs! Jengs!

I made my own clothes! For clothes and pants, I made them using the skin of an unused fire lizard. Its hard leather scales were useful for fending off at least arrows and swords. Then its dominant black green color made it disguise well in the forest.

Although hard on the outside, but the skin scales are quite flexible and smooth on the inside of the scales. Truly expensive clothes if the quality of materials like this were on earth, and now I can find them everywhere.

In addition to the burnt lizard skin, I also made a robe using the furry skin of Bergading Deer. The bodies of the animals here are huge, so I can make it as long as I want and I make it from head to toe.

With hoodie models that can be opened lid and robe that can cover the body to the feet until the front. When I first put it on, I stuck it in the river and my mind was accidentally tucked into my words.

"Crazy, so cool of me."

Hehe. Thinking about how cool I was always made me frown on myself.

SRCRK... SRCRK...

"Hnn ...?"

As I was admiring how cool I was, I suddenly heard the sound of bushes moving. The distance was quite close to the open training ground where I was standing at the moment.

"[Clairvoyance]"

I used the [Clairvoyance] Skill to find out how many enemies wanted to attack me. And I was surprised because there were about fifty or even more who were hiding from the bushes and trees.

Though I thought I'd made sure this place was safe by cleaning up some predators that used to pacing around here. But the one that will attack me right now is like a monster in a herd moving together.

I took the scythe and was on the lookout for the enemy to come. Getting closer and closer, I then opened my eyes as they came out from behind the bushes. But I felt disappointed after seeing something that wanted to ambush me.

"Bahh! Uhhh!"

"Goblins?"

Yep. They are goblins. They move together in large numbers because, well. There's no other reason.

Their bodies are even shorter than mine, with pale green skin and most of them have a bloated stomach some may have a nice body and a sixpack, but that's it.

Their weapons were only small spears and shields that looked extremely fragile. They also seemed unsure of attacking me. When I checked the status of the goblins with [Appraisal], most of them were only Level 5 to Level 12. I am now Level 23.

Goblins in this world usually live in caves and hide from the outside world. Their hunting activities were also carried out by the strongest goblins. And if they have to move like this, it means that something is driving them from their place of residence.

Huh uh?! You ask how do I know all that?! Of course the adventure in the first two weeks around this forest produces many things. One of them was the knowledge of these goblins.

I really don't like fighting monsters weaker than me, anyway. The EXP obtained is low. And also, it makes me seem to like torturing the weak. But ....

"Well!"

BRAAKK...

Being surrounded like this I don't seem to have any other choice. A goblin jumped from the top of the cliff above my head, trying to attack from the blind spot. But I can still avoid it easily.

The one who did it was a goblin with the highest level and had a sixpack stomach. While the kroco goblins in front of me just seemed to be bait to outwit me.

So this is the life of a weak person? Just be bait for the strong to keep the herd in order to continue to live.

I grinned at the thought of that fact. "Well, if that's what you want!" They were all shocked by the change in nature I showed. "You want to make this place your home, right?! Try it if you can!"

"Well!" They instantly became vigilant and put up defensive horses.

"Right, it has to be like that! Show me you really want to survive! While I will make you guys experiment for my new Skill!"

I did want to test this Skill, but never met the right enemy. And now is the time.

"[Shadow Construct]"

...

But after waiting for a while, again nothing happened. "This again?!"

[Skill [Shadow Construct] Didn't Succeed Because of Unclear Target]

What's?! The target is unclear? What the hell does that mean? Do I need anything else to activate this Skill?

But the goblins didn't give me a chance to think. They attacked me simultaneously with their fragile weapons.

"Tch! Hold on a second, goddamn it!"

Although they attacked me simultaneously, but the difference in Levels cannot be ignored. I easily killed them one by one using a scythe, the Passive Skill [Weapon Mastery] made it easier for me to master this weapon.

But this is not what I was looking for. I'm not looking for an easy win against them. As much as possible I want to test out about that Skill. While fighting, I kept thinking about how that Skill could be activated.

"??!!"

And I found him.

"[Shadow Construct: Arrow]"

After I chanted it, this time came a black arrow formed from the aura hovering in front of the scythe. I quickly struck him with a scythe and shot until the arrow pierced into one of the goblins.

A wide grin was created on my face at this moment. I finally understood how to use this new Skill. Turns out I have to think about what I want to create, and then it can be created.

"[Shadow Construct: Shield]"

A black shield was created floating behind my back and fending off the sixpack goblin sword. You think I didn't notice you guys? You guys are wrong.

"I'm satisfied with my experiment. It's time for you to die!"

I finished them off quickly and unharmed with just one hand. But as I said before, their small levels kept my levels from increasing. Of those fifty goblins, my level has only increased by two levels to level 25.

"But this [Shadow Construct] is useful too, huh? Can create anything I want." Suppose on earth I have this ability, maybe I will not be troubled.

Eh?

Waita minute!

I who was leaning against the wall, sat me straight because I had realized something. "If this Skill can create anything I want, it means ..." I looked towards my left hand and unceremoniously tried it.

"[Shadow Construct: Arka's Left Hand]"

I aimed the skill at my left hand and slowly but surely, the black aura began to form hand proportions ranging from the upper arm, the lower arm, all the way to the palm.

Everything was perfectly created, although it was still unstable and the black aura liked to spread everywhere. But I also have another brilliant idea.

"[Healing] !!!"

If [Healing] can only treat the outer wound for now, that means the regeneration of my skin also goes into the outer wound, right?

As if answering my questions and doubts, the human skin had only begun to creep over the black aura shaped by the previous hand and thanks to the additional [Healing], my left hand could return like before.

I raised my left hand slowly and moved each finger hesitantly and then moved to the whole hand. After that, I tried to lift the scythe that I was resting on. And it's strong.

"Be .... IT WORKED!!!" I screamed loudly. "Wine. I screamed so loud because I was too happy. But my experiment was successful and now my left hand has returned!"

Lep, serious, urgent. My happy smile could not be lost. I'm really .. grateful that this worked.

That night, I slept with a happy smile on my face.
