Chapter 27 - Ch 27 Crafting New Horizons

As Necro focused his mana with precision, channeling the essence of the wolf's teeth into the primitive slimy glove, a surge of energy coursed through his hands. The last three teeth of the mighty wolf fused seamlessly with the fibers and slimy skin, creating an eerie yet captivating effect. The once plain glove took on an ominous appearance as its color shifted to a deep black, while the teeth embedded within it radiated a haunting shade of red.

Primitive Slimy Glove of the Wolf's Fangs (right hand):

Description: A menacing glove crafted by combining slimy skin with woven primitive fibers infused with the essence of the wolf's teeth. Despite its simple construction, the glove offers rudimentary protection while preserving some degree of manual dexterity. The integration of slime skin and wolf's teeth provides an unconventional and fearsome layer of defense.

Special Properties:

1. Slimy Absorption: The infusion of slimy skin grants the glove the ability to absorb and diffuse minor impacts. This property bestows a 5% chance of mitigating incoming physical damage by 15%.

Note: As a primitive creation, this glove's properties are limited by the available materials and crafting techniques. The infusion of the wolf's teeth has added an extra layer of offensive potential to its defensive capabilities, making it a formidable asset in combat.

The fading sun cast long shadows across the landscape, painting the scene in hues of orange and red. Necro marveled at his creation—the primitive slimy glove that now adorned his right hand. Its black surface was accentuated by the vivid red of the wolf's teeth, giving it a menacing appearance. Faye's remark about the rib bones sparked a brief moment of regret, quickly replaced by excitement for the crafting opportunities that lay ahead.

Faye chimed in playfully, acknowledging Necro's newfound skill. "Looks like you've got a menacing accessory now. Who would have thought you'd become such a bone carver?"

Necro gave a thoughtful nod. "Indeed. It's strange how life leads us down unexpected paths. Anyway, seeing that it's almost sunset, I'll prepare some wolf meat for dinner."

Faye teased him with a grin. "Eating more, are you trying to channel your inner wolf?"

Necro chuckled. "Not quite, but I do wish I had some rice, salt, or seasoning to add some flavor to this. Can't remember the word for it though."

Faye offered the missing word. "Bland?"

Necro snapped his fingers in recognition. "Yes, that's it—bland. It's funny how I miss things I can't even fully remember."

As the conversation shifted, Faye unveiled her plan to address Necro's job activation issue. "If you consciously explore your surroundings for herbs, your survivalist skill should activate. It's a way to take more control over your abilities."

Curious, Necro inquired about potential downsides. "Are there any drawbacks to this approach?"

Faye responded, "Well, the downside is that you'll be learning more skills for a specific job only if you actively equip it. Right now, most of your jobs are stuck at level 1 because you haven't been utilizing them."

Necro's eyes widened in realization. "So, my lack of equipping jobs is the reason they haven't progressed?"

Faye nodded. "Exactly. But for your swordsman job, you can always wield two swords to counter the issue of a broken weapon. On top of that, as a level 4 life forger with three monster bases, you have the potential to create a living entity that resembles a sword using the fourth base."

Intrigued, Necro leaned in. "You mean crafting my living sword? And others would just see me as a regular neutral swordsman?"

Faye confirmed with a grin. "Precisely. It's a clever way to keep your true capabilities hidden."

With newfound determination, Necro's mind whirled with possibilities. "Alright, I'm up for the challenge. Let's see if I can truly forge my living sword."
