Kating!
"Nghh..."
Kating!
So noisy... a little bit more... let me sleep... wakes me up later mom...
"Hey Sieg!", A voice wakes me up.
I open my eyes slowly. There was a bald old man with a scary face close to my face.
"HYAHHHH!!", I shout in fear.
"Why did ya shouting at ma face like you saw a demon?"
Ehh... Who is this and why is he talking so casually with me...
"Ya sure have the nerve to slack off on your first day"
"First day? On what?", I ask in lost.
"For this force labor in this damn Mine. Did ya hit ya head on the rock or something?"
Force labor? Mining? Wait a minute I am not following any of this. Didn't I get reincarnated?
"Ya should be more like ya childhood friend over there... what's his name again"
The old man points his eyes at a man with a green hair, working hard mining the stone.
"Ahh yes Lex", the old man continues his sentence.
"He's around ya age yet he's working so hard. Not like working that hard will let us go anywhere though haha!
Even if you tells me he's my childhood friend, I have no recollection of him whatsoever. Also what with that muscle , so big!
"O'rite then , we should go back to work. Don't ya go and slack off again Sieg. Ya should appreciate that I was the one who found ya. If it's that snotty brat 'captain' ya would have lost your head by now. "
Work? Did he mean mining? If he's like an npc and this is the start of my story here then this must be an important event!
But Work huh... What a strong word 'work'. If this is my old world just hearing the word 'work' is enough to makes me sigh. Because in the old world I don't even have the strength and energy to even lift up a 10kg dumbell.
But here is different. This might be the event where I unleash my secret power and everyone gonna be suprised by it!
"Sieg what did ya do! Amazing!", said the old man
"As expected of my best friend", said childhood friend.
"That's amazing oniichan!", said a moe little sister character that still haven't comes out yet.
Or there goes my imagination.
I picked up the pickaxe and hit the rock with it.
"ORAAAAAA!!!!"
Katinngggggg!
It hurts!!!!!!!!
The impact and shock from hitting the rock hurt as hell. And the noise from it reverberates through my ears, it feels like bleed about to leaks out feom it.
Like hell secret power event! Nothing happens! Just how the hell my so called 'childhood friend' even do this!
I turn my face looking at him with a narrow squint as he mining the rock with such a tremendous speed. Wh-what the hell! This makes him looks more main character-ish than me!
As I am frustrated by this fact, I remembers something important.
That's right Menu! If I have a question I should just ask the system itself!
"Menu", I called out the menu and the screen appear before me showing the menu.
[Status]
[Help]
Wait a minute, what with this lazy design. Why are there only two stuff [Status] and [Help]. Even a 3rd rate rpg is better than this. Well whatever. Since I am more curious about the current situation about mine I click [Help].
[Are you sure?]
"Hm?"
What with this are you sure question. Why do I even need to reconsider to open a help menu?
I click [Help] again.
[Are you really sure]
As again why?
Again I click [Help].
[It's not my fault or anything if you regret this lol]
What with the lol! This is definitely fishy. For sure. Regretting it won't do any good so I just set my mind to getting the help instead of worrying about the problem.
[This is system do you have any problem?], Beside the text on the screen I also heard a voice coming from my head.
Amazing an assistant feature along with a voice. Also her voice reminds me of Al**xa.
[Huhh... here another stupid who don't bother to ask the goddess and just went straight to reincarnation. Ah... I can't stand this kind of people. No No Just can't, Impossible]
Um... isekai Al**xa I can hear you complaining here though!
[Anyway for the reincarnation the goddess mention, it's not like you are reincarnated as a baby. You just continued a story that already been created in this world]
[Like hell I know. Do you think I am your mom or something? Think, use your brain stupid]
If I can meet the person behind this voice I will definitely kill her right now.
[Time is over too late for question ahhh so tired.]
[Beep--]
This shit system....
I grit my teeth as I looks at the screen in front of me.
Suddenly a message flashed up on the screen.
[Tips: use your craft system. Close your eyes and speak the word 'craft' in your mind and the knowledge of crafting will flow into your mind. That's all.
Sincerely,
your sweet system]
Like hell sweet. Well at least she did share some tips after all.
I did what she says and close my eyes.
As I said that in my mind all knowledge and skill about crafting flows into my mind.
The materials.
The structures.
The shapes.
Like how to do it too and everything it all become a natural to me suddenly.
I open my eyes again and the screen show a new message.
[You have gain Craft system level 1]
After that the screen turn to menu again and below status there's a new message called [Craft].
I opens up the [Craft]. The screen listed out all the stuff I can craft vertically. There's also a picture beside the name probably to makes my job easier.
I scroll through the [Craft] menu by swaying my finger on the air. Whoa... There sure a lot of stuff that I can craft despite it being a level 1.
Ahh this.
I stop my finger at the stone sword.
[Craft: Stone Sword
Material: 1xStone]
Just a stone? What a convenient skill. I can literally makes one right now.
Gongg!!
As I said that a bell rung outside the cave.
"Finally over huh..."
"Wheww I am so tired"
"Good work!"
It looks like the bell was meant to show our work was over. Everyone was walking toward the exit. I can't do the craft now. It would surely attract attention if suddenly a rock become a sword considering my title in this world... A force labor huh...
"Yo Sieg, let's go to the bar", A voice called out to me. It was my childhood friend, at least in this world. Lex.
"Y-Yeah" , I stutter nervously. I never have any ikemen(hot guy) friend in my past life, of course I stuttered. But damn, closely he sure looks hot. I want to punch and damage his face. Die hot guy.
---
"Hnggghhhhhhh", Lex stretch his body after walking out from the cave.
"Ahhh I feels alive", Lex said releasing a relax face after that serious face he showed while working.
"Then should we go Sieg?"
"Yeah..." This time I didn't stutter wheww.
