Chapter 7
Where Did You Get This Wooden Swords?
...
Sera managed to destroy 20 trees in an hour of hitting trees as he went back to the hole, then he covered the hole with a dirt block.
He only need to destroy that dirt block to get out.
After walking for a few seconds, Sera found his path changed.
As he went to the left, he did not forget to cover the path he came from with another dirt block, then he finally came out of the hole.
Looking at the sleeping people at the cave, Sera sigh in relief as he look at the floating interface near him and grabbed the workbench.
He placed the workbench on the ground as a 0.7 cubic meter workbench came laid before him.
Sera grin when he saw the number of his wood blocks.
381 blocks of wood.
When he destroyed 20 trees he was not surprised that he got 336 woods.
Add up the remaining 45 woods earlier when he sneaked at the open door, Sera finally have 381 woods.
But it sure will be gone quickly.
Why?
He need to craft weapons for them, he need to craft armors for them and he also need to craft weapon and armor for himself.
Sera grabbed all his woods in the inventory as he placed the wood in the workbench.
He began to craft the wooden sword as the number of wood decrease by 7.

Then Sera crafted another wooden sword again.

Not disappointed in the slightest, Sera continued his crafting and finally crafted 10 wooden swords.
Although he was surprised by one of them.

...
What surprised him is the Legendary wooden sword.

Sera felt lucky.
The sword is even more powerful than an iron sword!
9 damage + 14 damage is equivalent to 23 damage!
Not bad for the name Legendary.
Sera grinned as he look at his inventory.
He dragged the Legendary sword away from the other sword so that he can select it quickly without being confused.
After being done, he pondered for a bit before creating two more bows.
Though it was normal bow again.
Then Sera went to the carpet made of bunny hide as he finally went to sleep.
He didn't bother to take the workbench as he is too lazy even though he might regret this decision if the adults pester him.
He didn't care.
"I can do what I need to do later, sleep is the first thing I need to do" He murmured as he closed his eyes finally sleeping.
...
At night.
Sera woke up from his sleep as the others are just playing around while the male adults are chatting with each other and the female are either skinning, cooking, or dismantling the flesh of the bunnies.
As he woke up, all of the children went to him as Aldous immediately pointed his index into something.
Confused, Sera look at where Aldous is pointing and he saw the workbench there.
"Oh"
"That's mine" He said nonchalantly.
Confused, Aldous asked what kept bugging him.
"How did you get the wood?" He asked since the workbench is made from wood.
Sera even though surprised, nonchalantly look at Aldous.
"Well when I was digging earlier, I saw a dead body of wood buried in the dirt so I went and cut it into pieces then created that"
Aldous look at Sera suspiciously but still believe him.
He didn't know what a deadwood is but it sure is a wood.
Is that a wood that grows from the dirt?
Or woods are alive and they also die?
Aldous didn't know that, as all the people here in the cave only know a little bit about the outside world.
Even the men who always go outside didn't know the things there, as they are clueless about it. And when they are telling stories, they always describe the things outside with their feature and also sometimes name them.
To be more precise they are clueless about the outside world.
That's because their ancestor died before completely passing down the information and the information that had been passed down was forgotten as time passed by.
The others who are listening even though quite curious ignored the matter as they babbled about how excited they are tomorrow.
Oh, how wrong the idea you all are thinking.
...
The Next Day.
*nudge*
*nudge*
Curious about who is nagging him, Sera yawn and was stunned when he saw different heads.
"Wake up sleepy head" Aldous said while chuckling.
"Teach us now quickly" Emerson said clearly excited.
Sera sat up as he yawn and nudge his eyes.
He examined the surroundings and found that all the adults are there.
Curious, Sera asked Aldous "Hey why are uncle Kaiser and the others are here?"
Aldous smiled wryly as he pointed his finger to Sera.
"That's because of you"
Hazy for a bit, Sera pondered and finally get it.
"Ah so it was that"
Dang it, I forgot to create swords for them!
Though there is an extra wooden sword as the children are only 11 and two of them are babies so it was actually 9.
Sera got up then went to the workbench.
Curious, the kids and the adults followed him while wondering what will he do.
Aldous on the other hand felt it was ridiculous, Sera didn't even have a training sword and still is confident about it, although he had power.... that didn't mean he had a sword!
After pondering for an hour yesterday, Sera finally decided that he won't hide half his powers from his family.
Although it sounds ridiculous as you might not know that you will be attacked by your so-called family...
Sera didn't care as the memories of his predecessor say that the people here are all nice and honest.
Actually, they didn't need to hide anything because they are all suffering.
Also, jealousy is not a thing in this cave.
More like, the person who found something will also share it with the family, and if there's only one of it then that person will try his hardest to get his family the same item as him.
Thinking this Sera reminiscent about his past.
This family is not like some cultivators family where deception and jealousy are common.
This family is like a beggar's family.
Yes, a beggar's family.
When Sera was still a child, he once went away from home.
It was because of a family fight.
He know that it was a reckless and impulsive decision but it was useless, he was a child.
After being away from home for 1 day only, he found a place where beggars stay.
There they help him with his food and also to get back home.
When he asked them why are they helping him.
Their only answer is "We don't want anyone to suffer the same way as us"
From that day, Sera's mindset changed, he come to learn to look at what the people down there also feel.
And Sera felt this family is similar.
...
I don't care if this is reckless but I trust them and telling them will bring me benefit.
'Sigh, family at this situation is a burden'
Sera sigh in helplessness.
'But even though burden I can't abandon them' He thought as he finally arrived at the workbench.
Turning around, Sera grinned "Okay listen up you all I'm going to reveal what's my power!"
"My power is crafting!"
"I can craft certain items as long as I have its ingredients!"
"Now let me show you what I crafted and what you will be using today"
As he said that, Sera moved from his position as the people is shocked that there's a pile of swords on the wooden table.
Sera grinned in satisfaction as he picked a wooden sword from the pile.
More like it was arranged to be there since it was a legendary wooden sword and it is only for him.
"Now then let's start the training shall we?"
