The first step is to create an iron sword that can be fabricated.
　Once the iron sword, S-rank, has been fabricated, I take it out.

　I hold the sword in my hand, which is in its scabbard.
　It's a pretty good sword........ It's a high rank, so it must be a good sword.

　........and it can be given skills, right?
　How do we grant skills to it?

　I'm going to look it up in my brain regarding skill granting.
　It seems that skill granting can be done to this sword as it is.

　Let's give it a muscle-strengthening S-rank as soon as possible.
　I project those information in front of me.

　.........Yeah, yeah, I see.
　I was going to grant the skill, but it doesn't seem to be that simple.

　The iron sword I'm holding right now had a number of 0/100.
　When granting a skill, this number would increase.

　For example, if I granted a muscle strengthening S-rank, it went to 50/100 at once.
　Maybe, but it would not be possible to grant skills beyond 100.

　Does this vary by weapon?
　I try to create some equipment to test it out.

　........Yeah, it's quite different. At first I thought it was because it was an S-ranked equipment, but it seems that's not the case.
　I was able to make another Iron Sword S-rank, so I checked it, and it had a number of 0/120 in that one.

　The criteria for a good weapon seems to be influenced by this high number.
　That was when I was looking at it in regards to skills.

　I found that I could set the ranks to be granted.
　This meant that instead of a Strengthening S rank, it could be an A rank and so on.

　Is this because I got the Strengthening S rank?
　Looking at other skills, it seemed to be possible to grant F to S ranks as well.

　And with an F-ranked skill, the number consumed would be much lower.
　However, the lower the rank, the weaker the effect would probably be, wouldn't it?

　It will be important to find out which skills are usable and which are not, even if the rank is low.

　I'm going to make the equipment right away.
　The first one is the iron sword, and since I've created two S-ranks, I've added two skills to it.
　An S-rank for muscle strength and an S-rank for auto-return.

　This is how it should look like.
　I'll use my leftover magical stones to make the accessories. I put two S-ranked muscle-strengthening accessories on this one.

　These skills are effective just by wearing them. At least, that's what is common knowledge among adventurers.

　I have all the equipment and accessories.
　Then there are a few things I want to try out.

　Can we really fight the demons with these equipment?
　Tomorrow is a holiday.

　Then we might at least have room to do battle with a weak demon.
　Let's give it a try.

　If we can fight a little, we might be able to at least collect some magic stones.
　The more magic stones we have, the more weapons we can create.

　Shall we fight the goblins tomorrow?


　Mu.


　The next day. I was out of town.
　I only registered as an adventurer when I turned ten years old as proof of my identity.

　I thought about getting a request from the guild, but they might worry about a lot of things.
　So I decided to act alone.

　After receiving the oracle ritual, I also updated my profession and divine weapons.
　It's common knowledge that 'Blacksmith' is an occupation that cannot be fought and cannot be used.
　At that time, I don't want to get too involved in the guild because I was told a lot.

　I walk past the knight guarding the gate that connects the outside and inside of the city.
　As expected, I couldn't stop him because it's not like his occupation would be revealed just because we looked at each other.

　For now, let's go defeat the goblins.
　As for the battle, I can do it reasonably well, since I was planning to become an adventurer.

　So far, I've been training my body all this time, and I've done hard labor at the inn every day.
　Even now, I even go to the nearby dojo on my days off.

　I walk for a while outside the city.
　After all, there are few demons near the city.

　We need to head a little further away from the city.
　When I'm far enough away from the city that it looks small, I spot a goblin.

　I turn my attention to the two swords I've crafted.
　I've fought demons a few times. Goblins would have fought them before they had these weapons.

　He was confident that he could fight them without a problem.

　He threw his sword as hard as he could at the one goblin that was twitching his nose.
　The sword flew straight up and pierced the goblin's left shoulder.
　Just as I intended.

''Gii!

　.........It was a surprisingly quick stab.
　The goblin screamed and stared at the surroundings.

　It seems to have noticed me.
　I throw the other sword I was holding at it.
　Again, it stabs into the goblin and the goblin flinches.

　The cut seems to be pretty good.

　Besides, it's much stronger than usual.
　Maybe this is also the effect of the muscle strengthening.

　The goblin seems to have already taken quite a bit of damage and is kneeling down.
　Still, it's indeed a wild demon.

　The goblin is about to move towards me, and then the automatic return is activated.
　The two thrown swords returned to my scabbard as if they were moving instantly to my scabbard.

　Simultaneously, blood spurted out of the goblin's body and the goblin collapsed on the spot.
　It seems that it's still alive.
　So I throw my sword at it in the same way.

　When it completely stopped moving, I put the sword back into its scabbard.
　........It worked.

　I thought I could use the automatic return skill well, but I was right.
　However, if you're going to be based on throwing, something lighter, like a throwing knife, might be better.

　As I recall, there was also a dagger among the weapons that could be made.
　Anyway, let's gather some magic stones and make a dagger today.
　I was about to extract the magical stone from the body of a goblin I defeated when it occurred to me.

　I wondered what would happen if I struck the Goblin's body with a hammer.
　With that kind of curiosity, I used the hammer I took out to strike it, and its body disappeared.

　I wondered where the goblin's materials had gone.
　Curious, I checked the usual production screen and found that equipment related to goblins had been added.
　The materials required were listed, but the numbers in that section had also increased.

　Goblin fangs, can I get them out?
　When I made a conscious effort, the Goblin Fang appeared in my hand.
　It was bloody just now, but it turned out to be a beautiful thing.

　I see. I don't need to dismantle it part by part.
　This is easier and better.

　As I recall, my parents must have also dismantled it with a divine object, and divine objects are convenient.
　And it's much cleaner than dismantling it yourself.

''Alright, at this rate, let's take down the demons.

　It seems that if you defeat the demon, you'll get a proficiency level as well.
　However, it's not as efficient as when I'm creating it.

　It may be that the goblins are weak.
　If I keep leveling up, I might be able to become at least a little stronger.
