I gazed in awe at my current status window. It was significantly different from the first time I saw my status.

It had four digits! And this was real, where I could feel my body becoming stronger after using this uniform. Let's test its power on that tree over there.
As I lightly struck the tree, it collapsed with an explosive sound, causing birds in the vicinity to scatter. I was stunned by the amount of strength I possessed—this was a kind of superhuman power.
Because I was quite surprised by just one attempt, I postponed further experiments. After all, that should happen in a real situation where I could assess how skillful I was at leading a troop and how quickly I could devise a plan.
Alright, let me try the ability [Creation of Characters and Items (1x a day)]. It's mentioned here that I can create NPCs and Items based on imagination. There are also some conditions for creating NPCs, like a character story description shaping their personality, field of expertise, and physical appearance settings.
I'll create that NPC later. The question is how I should use this ability. Should I imagine an AK-47 modification in my mind?
"Eh?"
I was startled as white smoke suddenly appeared in my hand, and there it was—I was holding a Soviet-made firearm. An AK-47 that had been modified according to what I imagined.
This is amazing! I'm truly surprised today. With this power, I no longer need to worry about logistics, but are there limitations on the size and quantity I can create?
Hmm... I've used this ability once, and I have to wait another 24 hours to use it again.
Glancing at the forest, where the rustling sound of bushes could be heard, making me alert. I'll think about that later; for now, let's try and experience my first battle in this fantasy world.
Emerging from the bushes was a small green creature with a dagger in its hand, roaring as it ran towards me with a terrifying face. I didn't panic and aimed the AK-47 at its head, then pulled the trigger.

Throughout the day, Takeru killed dozens of goblins with his AK-47 until he ran out of bullets. His shots were incredibly precise, hitting each one in the head. Takeru had learned how to use firearms from his father and grandfather, and his sharp eyes, reflexes, and quick thinking made the goblins helpless as their heads were pierced one by one.
As the sky turned orange, Takeru decided to return to the capital with the uniform and the weapon stored in his inventory, once again wearing his high school uniform. Finding an inn, ordering dinner, and sleeping.
/-/
The next day, I used the ability again in the same place after the cooldown time had elapsed. Then, I tried creating larger items, such as a box of 7.62 x 39 mm caliber ammunition that was inserted into a 30-round magazine box—ammo type for my AK-47.
One box for logistics purposes, with a total of 30 boxes containing 10 magazine rounds each. This meant I had enough bullets for a month if I didn't engage in continuous battles, maybe even up to three months.
With this, it's enough. Let's go find monsters again today. After preparing, I immediately entered the forest again, but not wearing the military uniform as it was very uncomfortable for fighting and hindered my mobility.
/--/
On that day, those passing through the forest suspected there was a new type of monster inside. The forest echoed with rustling sounds and strange behavior, as if they were being chased by something.
/-/
Phew, today I gained a lot. Because it would be a waste to leave the monster corpses, I decided to dissect their bodies to see if I could obtain something like magic crystals. Yes, some monsters gave me magic crystals when I killed them, such as orcs, hobgoblins, and two-tailed wolves.
Those monsters were special because, for some of them, I was nearly in danger. I didn't expect some monsters could use magic, like the two-tailed wolf I fought last, which could use wind magic to blast me away. Luckily, at that time, I quickly gave it a barrage of shots, filling the monster's body with holes. Yes, I really used a lot of bullets today, but the results were worth it. Now, I'm having dinner in a bar beneath the inn.
"Hey, have you heard the story?"
"What story?"
"That, there's a rumor spreading fast today that there's a new type of monster roaming the forest on the east side."
My ears perked up as someone at the next table discussed something, and while listening, I continued my meal.
"Oh... My cousin, who just returned from escorting traders from the fourth village, heard it too. When they passed through the east side of the forest, they heard clinking sounds, and because of that, monsters living in the forest were roaming on the road as if running away from something."
"Umm, that's really dangerous. Are there any movements from the guards or kingdom knights?"
"Someone has already reported it to the adventurer guild, and they are going to take action. Maybe tomorrow, they'll see what's really happening to make those monsters behave strangely."
"Hmm, I hope it's not a big issue."
After finishing my meal, and thinking I had heard enough from the customers at the next table, I stood up and returned to my room. My expression remained normal, showing no sign of panic whatsoever, even though I was quickly becoming known here, which means that tomorrow, after getting the remaining money from selling those alloys, I must leave this place quickly. Soon!

After Takeru returned to his room, where he couldn't sleep right away, he contemplated while lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"As per my plan and goal, no matter what people from my world think of me doing this job. Even though it looks like a criminal, it's better than screaming justice in a gruesome race. Dictator, an expression for the ruler holding absolute power, and I will create a country. I am the leader of that country! Yes, I will change this world, turning classic fantasy tales into something else, something truly thrilling!"
Takeru said, exhaling air while firming his resolve.
