Raid: The Blacksmith-Chapter 47: Epilogue: Part Two

I deactivated all my Skills and landed on a small secluded island. I decided to have my main base there.

"I’m curious to see what other places look like. I’ve got a total of nine continents and a number of small islands all around Kairon. But I’m sure I’ll get the chance to do that some other time. Besides, aside from all the plant life, I’m the only living being here. That tells me that, while I can created life in the Item Space, I can’t create something that has its own ego and is self-aware. Must be because the Skill is still A-Rank so I’m sure I should be able to create intelligent life if I advance it to a higher Rank."

After I said that, a message popped up again.

[Report. Advancements in the Subject’s overall Warrior info have been detected as a result of recent actions.]

[Final reward is being allocated. Subject has received the Title of Creator.]

"Hm. This looks good."

"I gained a second Title. Once I get a third, they’ll all be revealed as to what their Traits are. Even though I can vaguely guess them to a certain extent based on the Titles’ names, it’ll be refreshing to actually know them. But really the highlight of this development is that one of my Skills experienced a Skill Improvement for the very first time. Skill Advancement and Skill Improvement are two very different concepts. When Skills advance, they enter a higher Rank. But when Skills improve, they remain within their current Rank but become significantly stronger, and as such undergo a name change to convey that. Skill Improvement is why a Warrior will find it hard to resist a certain Skill, even if the Skill they’re using to resist said-certain Skill is of the same Rank. So with that in mind, if my opponent has an A-Rank level fire resistance Skill, they still won’t be able to escape my flames unscathed. That’s as long as I specifically use Tri...I mean Quadron Element King instead of just Ifrit to conjure the flames though. Still, unlike Skill Advancement, Skill Improvement not only improves the Skill in question but also all its Sub-Skills, which means that right now, a B-Rank fire resistance Skill also won’t be able to resist Ifrit’s flames."

"And it’s all thanks the newly obtained Gaia Sub-Skill. Looks like creating a planet and moon of my own was all it took to finally obtain an earth elemental Skill. It’s because of Gaia that Trigon Element King improved, since only Parent-Skills improve and they only do so when the number of Sub-Skills they have reaches four going up. Meaning that right now, Weapon Fanatic is also very close to improving. I just need to get another weapon related Skill. Quadron Element King’s effects on my Stats are already insane despite it advancing to A-Rank only recently. That must be because of the improvement. Since Weapon Fanatic is still B-Rank, it might also start off with crazy high effects if I succeed in improving it."

I started walking around the island I had landed on. It looked nice. There were all kinds of fruit trees. For every fruit I knew, there was a tree or two. I saw a green apple tree and immediately jumped on it to yank an apple.

I took a bite out of it.

"Hm... This is good." It was delicious. Far from any normal apple. It was rich in Mana.

"It’s even getting rid of some of my fatigue. Nice."

I kept walking around until I reached the edge of the island. There was a large and spacious beach. An endless view of nothing but water laid before me beyond it.

"I might need to come up with some names for my oceans..."

"But before that, time to do something I’ve wanted to do for a while now." I still had First Dawn in my hand, so I thought about all the other things I had put in my Item Space and they all materialized right in front of me. I looked through all of them as they floated in mid-air, moving them around like I was scrolling pages on a phone, finally getting what I was looking for, seconds later...
