When the timer reached 0 an angry little soldier emoji popped up and blew a sharp whistle before vanishing.
?( ??? )??
I really hope I’m the only one who can hear this thing.
Things were mostly good. That seven-minute nap seemed to unlock a skill called [Sleep].
Not sure how I will use it in the future, but sure — in the inventory you go.
The first thing I did once I fully awakened was a spear analysis. It seemed to have lost only 12 durability, which was fine. What wasn’t fine was the realization that it still had a long way to go before breaking. I planned to use at least half of it—otherwise tossing it away would just be wasteful.
I couldn’t do that.
That spear had helped me when I needed it.
And I’m a loyal man!
…
I mean woman.
Damn it, isekai.
Since I couldn't just randomly throw away the spear I decided to run a few idea simulations in my mind, eventually reaching an easy conclusion that would prevent me from being wasteful.
I plucked a bunch of leaves from a nearby tree and used my carpenter skill to reshape them into tough, vine-like strands.
I tied one knot near the spearhead and another at the base of the handle.
I even reshaped the grip to resemble a sword's — this way I could wrap it securely.
“There we go,” I nodded.
“A spear backpack.”
I slung it onto my back.
Then I picked up the torch with [1:51:37] left on its timer — grabbed the dead rabbit with my free hand, and headed back toward the campfire.
???????
I liked that campfire.
It sat in the middle of a circular clearing, which was surprisingly spacious despite being surrounded by redwood trees.
The log I’d broken earlier—with my ass—was still there, now serving as my sofa.
A very uncomfortable sofa.
I sat down, put out the torch, then stabbed the spear into the ground. Now I could direct all of my focus onto the rabbit.
Cooking time!
To deal with this thing properly, I’d need a knife.
The torch had already done its job and since it's stake was super-sharp it could now be converted into a knife!

【Wooden Knife】
【Wooden Knife +5】
? Uses: 70
“…Seventy!?”
That was a lot of uses.
And the quality was great too?
Hell yeah!
?( ?? ? ?? ?)
My new knife was used to skin the beast.
Poorly.
Some of it was sadly wasted, but right now I just needed food to survive.
Something to cook in the background while I poked at the system.
Something to silence my growling stoma— I mean, tummy.
I made a simple hanger over the fire and let the meat roast.
No salt.
No pepper.
And absolutely no seasoning.
But for now, I’d endure.
(?—﹏—)
While the meat cooked, I prepared a drying rack. The skin and bones were still usable, and I have a thing for not wasting materials.
After the items were delivered to their rightful places, I turned my gaze towards the campfire and willed the stat window again—and noticed something new.
The knife I made earlier.
It had been added to the Weaponry page.
The sword and spear were there too.
“Hm... I wonder if I could craft a scythe—”
The moment I said it out loud, a new slot unlocked.

【 Scythe 】
One of the foggy icons from the Weaponry Tab had cleared and now showcased a scythe!
“So I just have to describe it correctly?”
Oh.
Oh, I could abuse this.
And abuse is what I committed!

"One more weapon" I said while trying to remember the name of it.
"Hmm..." I hummed.
"What was it called? That ridiculously oversized weapon; dragged around by a certain winter barbarian from a very popular MOBA game..."
It was huge.
Comically huge.
“A greatsword? No… a broadsword?
That doesn’t feel right…”
The window didn’t react, but I did — with a frown.
“It looked more like something an executioner would use."
Big.
Flat.
Heavy.
"Like a Guil—”

【 Guillotine Blade】
"—lotine.”
Yup, that one!
I blinked.
Then I fell into a temporary silence, contemplating if I should say it or not.
You know exactly what I'm talking about!
The one item that automatically swaps any Isekai Light Novel's difficulty from Deadly-Nightmare-Hell-Of-The-Blood-Moon-God into Baby-Easy-Dododododo-Tutorial mode.
The one and only, forever-weapon!
I thought for a while, hard and deep.
What if there is some world balance I may upset?
What if it's ethically wrong to bring it here?
What if an encounter with civilization ends up in a Witch Hunt because I didn't hide it properly.
How will I hide it in order to protect myself?
How would I keep it at my side in times of need?
Questions and issues and problems and worries... All of them valid, but at some point I just obsess over it way too much and I end up wasting precious time.
So, I skipped the overthinking process and jumped right into it!
"Screw that!"
"GUN!"
???????
"Uh... Hello? I said GUN!"
Figures...
Turns out we're not on a first-name basis yet, and I actually need the knowledge of the weapon’s structure—its parts, how they fit together—and how it works.
Fair enough.
I had no steel.
No lead.
No gunpowder.
And definitely no idea how to make one.
All good though, trial and error was my style anyway.
Small wins here.
Small losses there.
Nothing to be ashamed of!
