Day 6
In the morning, I used Presence Detection to examine the area around the defense barrier using "Basic Presence Detection." I found the remains of only one Big Boar and one Horn Rabbit. Few things seemed to collide with the visible barrier.
Upon stepping outside the barrier and investigating, I discovered both carcasses had been thoroughly devoured. I stored them away, cleaned the surroundings, and returned to the tent.
After breakfast, I began my tasks for the day. The level of "Magical Tool Creation" had risen once again.

I decided to activate my basic self-appraisal on a whim.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ □ □
I looked into the terms through basic appraisal.
Overall level seemed to be determined by vitality, magic power, and skills. It appeared to be around 10 for an adult male.
Parallel thinking seemed to be obtained from using multiple spells simultaneously, while thought acceleration was gained from combat against monsters with swords.
As planned, I wanted to create the boxes for "Separation and Sorting of Inorganic Materials" and "Item Production." The size of the boxes remained the same. The functions were limited to two, just like before the level-up.
I viewed the "Function 1 List" and found myself frozen.
Function 1 List
Infinite Storage
Livestock Storage
Disassembly and Sorting of Magical Creatures and Beasts
Separation and Sorting of Plant Materials
Separation and Sorting of Inorganic Materials
Item Production
Replication of Earth's Ingredients and Food
Trap (Side Entrance, Disassembly and Sorting of Magical Creatures and Beasts, Livestock Sorting)
"Replication of Earth's Ingredients and Food" – it was a function that had not appeared in "Basic Appraisal." It made me ponder the connection between my existence and the "Skill: Magical Tool Creation."
Why did I end up in this world?
Out of curiosity, I selected "Replication of Earth's Ingredients and Food," but I set "Infinite Storage" in "Function 2 List."
For materials, I needed 6 Big Boar magical stones and 5 grams of gold. I was fortunate that I collected a good amount of gold sand yesterday.
I completed "Magical Tool Creation."
Magical Tool Creation Level 3
Magical Tool Creation Complete
Box 3 (100x50x50 with Lid)
"Replication of Earth's Ingredients and Food" "Infinite Storage"
Usage: Check if the lid of the box is blue and place the Earth's ingredients or food you want to replicate inside the box.
Up to 4 different types can be replicated at once, even if they are in containers.
Think or chant "Quantity Set" to set the quantity.
Up to approximately 10 times the maximum contents can be replicated.
If the inner walls of the box turn yellow, add a few grains of gold sand to the box.
When the inner walls of the box turn blue, close the lid and think or chant "Replicate Food Ingredients."
While the lid is yellow, the operation is in progress; when it turns green, replication is complete.
Until the lid is opened, store it using "Infinite Storage."
Opening the contents will turn the lid blue.
Time required: 5 minutes to 18 hours.
Storage magical energy state: 2500/2500
Consumes 300 magical energy units per use.
The automatic magical energy storage function restores 1 storage magical energy unit per minute.
When finished reading, think "Understood."
I tried using the magical tool immediately.
I replicated salt, soy sauce, mayonnaise, and a ready-made sandwich in just 5 minutes.
The replicated items appeared in Tupperware containers.
Subsequently, I replicated all the food and ingredients I had brought from Earth.
Some items came out in packaging identical to what they had back on Earth, not just in Tupperware.
There were even subtle differences in some of the premade sandwiches.
It felt as though someone had sent Earth's ingredients and food to this world.
For Box 4, I used "Separation and Sorting of Inorganic Materials" and "Infinite Storage," and for Box 5, I employed "Item Production" and "Infinite Storage" through "Magical Tool Creation."
With Box 4, efficient separation and sorting of metals and such seemed possible.
With Box 5, I could create rings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, brooches, earrings, hairpins, collars, anklets, bags, pouches, clothing, shoes, bedding, curtains, furniture, towels, boxes, bottles, dishes, cooking utensils, and small weapons. I could choose the size, material, and shape, but obtaining the necessary materials was crucial. To create Box 5, I needed 4 Big Boar magical stones.
I decided to perform "Possession Transmutation" at night.
For now, I was focusing on "Adding or Removing Magical Tool Functions." I added "Mass to Magic Energy Conversion" and "Automatic Defense" to the left bracelet.
"Mass to Magic Energy Conversion" allowed me to convert matter into magic energy. This seemed to transform nitrogen in the air into energy.
This feature alleviated my worries about running out of magic energy and could supply magic energy to other magical tools worn by the user.
"Automatic Defense" provided protection against physical and magical attacks, even handling intermediate-level spells unexpectedly.
Next, I added "Language Understanding" and "Basic Map Creation."
For the right bracelet, I added "Plant Magic" and "Basic Construction Magic."
For the left index finger ring, I added "Basic Light Magic," "Basic Restraint Magic," "Basic Water Magic," "Basic Fire Magic," "Basic Earth Magic," "Basic Wind Magic," "Basic Non-Attribute Magic," and "Magic Manipulation."
These enhancements allowed me to use magic energy projectiles and negate spells of intermediate difficulty or lower.
For the sword, I added "Wound Sealing" and "Paralysis."
Blood no longer spurted out, but killing required removing the head.
In contrast, in combat against humans, I could render them helpless by severing their limbs.
I also performed "Expansion and Adjustment of Magical Tool Functions."
With an increase of 3 in the function of internal expansion for Tent 1, I acquired a kitchen and a living-dining room.
I upgraded "Basic Earth Magic" to "Intermediate Earth Magic" and "Basic Healing Magic" to "Intermediate Healing Magic" for the left bracelet.
With "Intermediate Earth Magic," I could construct defensive barriers, city walls, foundations, roads, bridges, elevated roads, river embankments, sand dam constructions, coastal embankments, and tunnels.
With "Intermediate Healing Magic," I gained diagnosis, intermediate healing, intermediate detoxification, intermediate status condition recovery, intermediate physical recovery, intermediate mental stability, and curse removal abilities. Intermediate healing and intermediate status condition recovery could also be used as area-of-effect magic.
For lunch, I had curry rice, using replicated freeze-dried rice.
After some practice swings, I headed out for hunting and gathering.
Today's expedition was to the river I visited yesterday.
I decided to put extra effort into gathering gold sand today.
Monsters, beasts, fish, vegetables, wild rice, gold sand, and iron sand.
I slew monsters and beasts with my sword.
"Sealing Wounds" was handy for preventing blood spray.
Today, a beast called Big Bear appeared.
Today's expedition yielded a variety of items.
It only took about 3 hours.
Around 3:30 PM, after returning, I used "Intermediate Construction Magic" to create defensive walls that filled the square.
The defensive wall was rectangular when viewed from above, measuring 120 meters in width and 60 meters in depth. It stood 6 meters tall and was 1 meter thick.
There was a gate at one location, leading to a path for animals to the river. I installed sturdy metal doors here.
The interior of this defensive wall was also protected by a barrier, including the area above it.
I managed to build a total length of 360 meters of defensive walls in about 2 hours.
For dinner, I made salt-grilled trout using the kitchen.
The kitchen featured an oven, stove, bread maker, microwave, and intermediate versatile cooker.
The versatile cooker could make up to 50 types of dishes, and you could specify quantities.
I made rice, vegetable soup, and salt-grilled trout today.
After dinner, I performed "Possession Transmutation."
I couldn't transform the boxes and bags I made with "Item Production" in Box 5 or the Tupperware from "Replication of Earth's Ingredients and Food."
The backpacks were upgraded with "Time Stop: 20 Minutes."
Tent 1 now featured "Concealment," "Defense Barrier," "Internal Expansion Function Increase: 3," "Illumination," and "Air Conditioning."
The pet bottles had "Water Generation" and "Japanese Tea Generation."
The towel was transformed into bedding.
My smartphone had "Magic Energy Charging" and "Indestructible."
My tablet laptop had "Magic Energy Charging" and "Indestructible."
My clothes were upgraded with "Enhanced Defense" and "Deterioration Prevention."
My pants were also upgraded with "Enhanced Defense" and "Deterioration Prevention."
My shoes and hat were similarly upgraded with "Enhanced Defense" and "Deterioration Prevention."
The backpack had "Infinite Storage" and "Indestructible."
The camera had "Indestructible" and "Magic Energy Charging."
The titanium mug had "Water Generation" and "Indestructible."
The digging tool had "Shape Shifting" and "Indestructible."
