"Weapon making."
Just hearing those two words, caused me to get excited, I was actually waiting for this, reason be I was going to ask Shalvaveesha, to make me an armor, I didn't have to be anything fancy, nor anything over powered, no I just want an armor that gives me full resistance to sun light.
So, I look towards her and spoke my mind.
"So, earlier you said you were going to personally make me a weapon, and we have to decide what kind of weapon I was going to use, am I right?"
I ask this to make sure, if I could really pick anything I want as my weapon, if so then I will pick a full body armor without a doubt.
"Spot on, do you have anything in mind, any weapon you were skilled with back in your old world?"
Shalvaveesha ask with much curiosity, I could tell she was excited, especially since she drops that Melancholic tone of her, I also notice that when she is in a good mood, she would drop that tone.
Honestly, I don't know why she talks like that, she sounds way better with her normal voice, it sounded cute really cute, but I wasn't going to ask anything because I see no need for it.
I honestly didn't really care either way, because in this world filled with sword and magic, gods and monsters, caster, and undead everyone have reason that is plausible for doing things.
If she feels comfortable speaking like that, then so be it, in the end its her life no one else, who am I to judge someone for it, but apart from that I began telling Shalvaveesha exactly what I want.
"Honestly speaking I had basic training in Kendo but I quit because I loss interest in the sport, if anything I'm more of a boxer, as I use to be a boxing teacher before I became a security guard."
"Ohh... wow, what is boxing?"
"I see, so you basically don't know everything about our world?"
I said this to Shalvaveesha who seem clueless about the term boxing, but somehow aware of the existence of anime and manga.
"Well, I only know about it since I read the mind of the dragon hero Rengoku Kala."
"By who now?"
"Rengoku Kala she is woman of Japanese descent, don't worry though, she most likely from a different parrel reality than yours, so you don't have to worry about her been from your worldline."
"I heard you the first time, but you just mention something about a dragon hero."
"Oh, I see, well believe it or not you're the last hero to be summon here, you see, in the course of two years, nine-teen other heroes have been summoned and has long made a name for themselves."
"The weakest is at saint rank, and the strongest is at the demi God rank, even as we speak most of them are already killing and slaughtering outer's as we speak."
Upon hearing those words, I was actually shock, reason be if that's the case then all these heroes are leagues above me in terms of power, there was no doubt about that.
To be honest I wasn't worrying if they were stronger than me, it just that if we are put together to fight alongside one another.
"I might be dead weight, yes, I might be from an ancient extinct race, yes, I might have some really terrifying curses along with blood manipulation and hyper speed regeneration."
But if these Gods and Goddess were having problem to kill these outer monsters, then what about me!?
I might be too weak to even fight them head on, if anything being a ghoul shield is all I can do simply because I possess a ridiculous healing factor, and embodiment of the plot skill.
And just when I was thinking things over the goddess put both hands on her waist as she said.
"Oh... by the way hold this."
Upon those words a bright purple light invades my vision, automatically I cover my eyes, and after it clear up, I remove my hand from my face.
And that's when I saw it, a small black cuboid box that was floating in the air, if anything its look like those Rubik cube puzzle that was back on Earth.
I grab it automatically and began to observe it, I notice it was full black, and had a single red button on the top, it was clear this box had a greater purposed I wasn't aware of.
Right away I gave Shalvaveesha a deadpan look, while pointing my left index finger towards the box as I ask my question regarding its purpose.
"What the hell is this?"
"Well Author-sama it's just as you were thinking just now, you are at a huge disadvantage unlike the other heroes, that why starting from hero candidate #10 all the way to hero candidate #20."
"Which is you, so the supreme Goddess decide that the other hero would be relatively weak compare to the first batch of heroes that came before them, so she created this box called the Doom box, it only purpose is to assist the later heroes rise in power."
Upon hearing the name of the box, I flinch a little, as waves of goosebumps travel up my spine, the only thing I could say in response to her response for responding to my earlier response was this.
"What an ominous name for a box, why is it called that, and who is the supreme Goddess, she must be a very important figure if she has the title of supreme Goddess."
I waited patiently for Shalvaveesha to answer me, her response came just as fast as mine as she spoke.
"Supreme Goddess Evangela is the one true god of this world, she is worship as the origin of all things, unlike me and the other Gods and Goddess who climb our way to the top, she was born a goddess, to be honest she was born even before the omniverse got its name."
"The Omniverse ha... I have heard of the term before, but don't know what it means."
"It's basically everything that exist or will exist."
"I see, and this so-called Evangela exist before the omniverse got its name, if that the case she is as old or slightly younger than the omniverse itself, which mean she must be pretty strong as well."
"Strong hahaha... she so powerful she can solo multi-multiverse at once just by thinking it, and to be honest no God or Goddess has ever come close to her range of power."
Spoke Shalvaveesha as explain the terrifying existence known as Evangela, but I couldn't take her word for, why you ask well for obvious reasons.
"If she so strong, why didn't she killed Outer herself, and save her own world."
"You're not the first to ask that question, every time we tell her to lead us God and Goddess into battle, she says something about being terrified of the beyond."
"Terrified of the beyond, what the heck is that supposed to mean?"
"Don't know, but if she of all people is terrified of something, then whatever or whoever it is, I don't want to meet them or it, because the person that got the God-Queen Evangela to cower behind the Heroes and the Gods who worship her as mother, must be something beyond even her comprehension."
This actually frighten me, a God queen that is so powerful, but yet she cowers behind her creations truly the irony of this world is so mess up its pitiful in a mundane way.
The strong hide behind the weak, and weak must stand up to protect the strong, how laughable is that.
"Sigh I guess if you want to get a proper job done you got to do it yourself, oi Shalva."
"Shalva?"
"Yeah, that what I'm going to call you from now on, your name is too long."
"Ok, what is it though?"
"Well, I have a message for your so-called God queen."
"A message, what do you want me to say to her?"
"Please tell her that I Author am going to kill every outer that plagued these lands with my own two hand, since your too much of a wimp to do it yourself, so with that said just sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch the show, in return I want a raised on my pay."
I said wanting an extra or as we call it back on Eart a bonus, with that I can live a happy and simple life with currency I'm going to be making, after all money is a much necessity in life.
That was what I was honestly thinking at the moment if I can live a simple but happy life, and work like a productive citizen of society, it's a win-win in my book.
But sadly, Shelva took my words differently as she questions me.
"Say what now!? Author-sama you are aware that you're literally telling me to tell of off our Queen, the strongest existence in this world, although she is scared of outers, she is a very humble existence and a kind one at that."
"Although her cold and indifferent personality to other is a minus due to her shyness, she still a nice person, but with all that said isn't your message going a bit too far."
Asked Shalva with a surprised tone at Author sudden message for their queen.
"Shalva I am simple man, this whole thing about saving the world from its doom, I see it as nothing but a job, I get paid to do this, even in this world I will live simple life, and the big boss herself is doing a horrible job at management."
"And as a high-ranking employee I have all right to file a complaint, if I see thing aren't going the way the way it supposed be."
Shalva went dead silent after I said that, as if it was the craziest shit, she has ever heard someone said to her in her long life.
"Author-sama did you drop on your head or something, you're a hero for crying out loud."
"No Shalva I'm perfectly fine, and it just like you said, I'm a hero it's my job, and as a hero I will kill all the outer and monster, I will be this world killing machine if I'm paid enough to do so."
"You are my boss and your boss is the Queen, and since your boss is too scared to do her job let me do it for her, although it won't be free, I demand my raised for the hard work I will be putting in, at least make it five times than average, I'm practically working a double here."
Still dumbfounded by my earlier remarks I could feel her piercing glare towards me, it was obvious she was looking at me with a dumbfounded expression, as the only thig she could say to me was.
"Either your clinically insane, or you just love money too much for your own good."
"I am a simple man Shalva we went over this, I eat, I sleep, I trained, I live my life on my free time, this world doesn't need a hero it needs a professional, someone who knows what they're doing."
"And if my new job demands me to be a killing machine that erased the outers from the plot then so be it, I will have you know the plot on my side."
"The plot what are you even talking about?"
"Don't worry about it, the plot doesn't demand you to know anything, but it does demand me to get the job done, and that's why I promise you that I'm going to lead us to happy ending at least a bitter sweet one if push comes to shove."
"I'm completely confused on what the bloody hell you're trying to tell me, sigh you know what I won't question it, all you have to know that this box in your hand is an infinity dungeon."
"You can set the difficulty and the time of how long you wish to stay in there to however long you wish to train, the first person to use it was the Angel hero Arc he made it to floor 786, and it only took him fifty years to do so."
"I see it basically a job training then?"
"Sigh whatever you say, it's basically a job training, I would advise you stay inside this place for that long as well, if you want to reach a huge level of power that is, fair warning though, you can't come out till you reach floor 100 or till the selective time you choose to stay in their runs out."
"Will I get some kind of safeguard in case things go south?"
"Yeah, a save/load ability, you just need to save your check point and every time you die, you will load back at that same place at the same initial time you save it."
"Ok then."
"Yeah, with that said are you ready for me to make your weapon."
"Yeah."
"Oh yea, back to my original question what is boxing?"
Shalva ask me still curious about this mysterious art, she has never heard before in her life.
"It basically professional fist fighting."
"I see, so would you like a gauntlet, or gauntlet katana hybrid."
"No, I want a full body armor."
"Armor, I see to counter your weakness as a scarlet ghoul, that smart now that I think about it, if its armor I can get really creative with it."
"You seem to like crafting a whole lot?"
"It's one of my only hobbies I have to pass my time as an immortal being."
"That nice, so when are you going to work on it?"
"Right now, but it's going to take a while."
"How long will it take?"
I asked her with much curiosity, if it took a long time, I was going to test out my new ability by training it, especially this so call blood manipulation, I want to see how far I can push it.
So, I listen keenly to her speaking, so I can more or less see how long it will take her to make it.
"Well, the design I want to make, and the ability I want to add to it, will take at least five days to locate, gather, annihilate, dismantle, and recreate, if you can wait that long, then I promise you I can make a proper overpowered armor for you.
"Sure, I can wait, I don't mind meanwhile I think I will practice."
"Great with that said here keep yourself occupied with this as well while I'm gone."
Spoke Shelva as she pulls out ten books each label as followed.
. The basic fundamental of source.
. Anyone can use magic.
. The proper way to use your skill tree.
. Common martial techniques for dummies.
. Epics of the Gods
. Assistance in magic
. No one uses incantation anymore
. Fairy tales for children
. The world ranking system
Those were the last words I heard her say, as she turns around and walk a distant from me, and after reaching a certain distance she turns around one last time and look at me as she said.
"Oh, a quick advice Author-sama, your source it weird, I can't properly analyze it, but without a doubt it might be primordial rank if anything you have potential to be a God, be proud of yourself."
She spoke as she paused for a short while, and continue not long after.
"Because the last time someone of your talent came by, the gods curse him in fear of his power, so watch your back, I don't want to lose another friend, because this world is cruel even to heroes."
Right after she said that a weird giant black skull came out of the ground and a purple portal open up along with its mouth as she walks in, and the moment she was out of sight, the skull then rotates back into the ground, disappearing before my view.
All I could say was.
"What!?"
