The probabilities that appeared excited me because I even have a 1% ce of f a legendary sword. But 1% is very low.

  But I have a retively high probability of f a rare sword. A 7% probability is excellent—every Gacha pyer dreams of having a 7% ce of pulling an SSR character.

  But what makes these swords different?

  Depending on the rank, are they sharper? More durable? Do they e with special abilities?

  I'll only know when I fe a higher-ranked sword.

  And so, I began my work.

  I started hammering.

  k!

  k!

  k!

  I followed the same process as yesterday.

  But this time, I was even faster.

  When I finished f the first sword of the day, a system message appeared before my eyes.

  [ You have fed a Level 1 on Sword ]

  "Another on sword..."

  "You're faster now. That's amazing. But don't stop; try f another one before lunchtime," Balnan said, smiling in satisfa.

  They were standing there, watg me.

  They didn't offer any tips or help.

  'Maybe that's why even after training for years (as mentioned in my background), I didn't evolve at all. These guys don't teaything.'

  ####

  Sometime ter, just before lunch…

  [ You have fed a Level 1 on Sword ]

  Sometime ter, by the afternoon…

  [ You have fed a Level 1 on Sword ]

  Sometime ter, as night fell…

  [ You have fed a Level 1 on Sword ]

  "At this pace, you'll mae six. You'll hit the target—gratutions. Hahaha," Balnan ughed while looking at me. I was nearly colpsing from exhaustion.

  I was sweating so much my clothes were drenched.

  'Damn it, I have a 20% ce of f a "Refined" rank sword, but I 't even mahat. This sucks.'

  Spitting out my frustrations, I started hammering again te my sword.

  After some time, the sword was finished.

  [ You have fed a Level 1 Refined Sword ]

  "I DID IT!" I shouted in joy when I saw the system message.

  "What did you do, you idiot?" Balnan, who hadn't been paying attention, asked. His eyes lit up as he approached and saw the sword in my hand. "What's this? Why does the bde of this sword look so beautiful?"

  Balnan grabbed the sword from my hand.

  "What is this?" He eechless for a moment. "Why do I suddenly feel more energized?"

  [ The passive skill "Stamina Boost LV1" has been added to the sword ]

  'What the hell is this? my swords e with skills? And this skill is excellent! It's just a Refined-rank sword! Imagine what kind of skill a rare sword might get?'

  I snatched the sword from Balnan's hand.

  "Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" he yelled angrily. "Give it to me; I'll keep it safe."

  "Of course, I'm not giving it to you. This sword is much better thahers, which is why you want it. I'm not an idiot."

  "Are you implying I want to steal this sword? I make a sword like this whenever I want! What's so special about it? Just because the bde looks prettier thahers!?"

  "You know very well this sword isn't just pretty."

  "Tsk! You're so annoying."

  "What are you going to do? Beat me up and steal this sword from me? I'd like to see you try." I smirked maliciously.

  Even though I wasn't fident in my strength, I didn't back down in front of him.

  This guy is annoying. I 't stand his presenymore.

  "I don't want this damn sword!" Balnan charged at me. He was so furious that I started to feel nervous.

  But trary to my expectations, Balnan wasn't very fast.

  He reminded me of that idiot from my old world. The one who threw such a slow punch, I easily dodged it.

  Balnan's fist came toward my face slowly. I was holding the sword, but using it here wasn't a good idea.

  I moved my head to the side, dodging his punch.

  "What!?"

  Right after, I spun around, kig Balnan in the side and sending him flying. He rolled on the ground, groaning in pain. He lifted his head slowly to look at me, grinding his teeth.

  "You're slower than I expected. You'd better be careful because I'm getting angry with how you treat me. Who do you think I am?"

  "Hey, idiot, did you fet about me?" Then, I was caught off guard by Luck.

  I had pletely fotten about him.

  But he was stupid enough to warn me before attag. Never do that in a fight. That's just dumb.

  Luck, who tried to attack me from behind, missed.

  I walked away from him, preparing to front him head-on.

  But as I prepared to attack him, Balnan had already recovered and picked up one of the swords I fed from the ground to attack me.

  "I'll kill you! No os me as away with it!" Balnan shouted as he charged at me with the sword in hand.

  But, unfortunately for him…

  "What do you think you're doing?" A cold, feminine voice reached my ears.

  Before I realized it, Hephaestus was standing in front of me.

  Just looking at her back, I could feel her ess and anger.

  "Goddess?" Balnan, who almost attacked her by mistake, turned pale.
