Granny's ghost hovered around Blade with a smug expression, arms crossed as she looked at him.
"How is it, kid?" she asked.
"It's great," Blade replied, admiring his new skill. "Who would have thought you could create sothing like this?"
Granny rolled her eyes. "What do you an by that, kid?" she said, her tone half-scolding.
"I always thought sculptors were ant to create beauty, not bring destruction,"
Blade looked at her curiously as she continued, "That's what I used to believe too. But then, you don't beco as powerful as by sticking to that simple mindset. You can't go up against dragons while thinking like a normal sculptor. So, I started experinting—thinking outside the box, pushing every limit I could to reach another level."
She smirked and then let out a sigh. "And guess what? I didn't find that limit."
Blade listened intently as she reminisced.
"Then, one day, I saw two kids fighting each other. At first, I thought it was barbaric. But then, their swords clashed—the sparks flew, the air bent around their strikes, and the light reflecting off their blades carved patterns into the battlefield."
"It was beautiful," she said with a nostalgic smile. "That's when I realized—sculpting isn't just about carving statues out of stone. It can be a mont of beauty, whether frozen in stone or alive in the graceful dance of a sword duel."
"So, I went bonkers," she admitted with a laugh. "I started experinting with all kinds of things. For the first ti in my life, I used my carving knife to kill a bunny. Yes, a bunny. Well, I wasn't strong at first, so it took ti," she said, smiling as she reminisced about her journey.
Blade could see the genuine happiness in her expression as she spoke.
"It seems like you truly enjoyed every part of it," he said.
"I did," she nodded.
"Enough about . Now it's your ti, kid," she said, looking at him seriously.
Blade nodded and stood up. "Yeah... I wonder if I can have an enjoyable life like you," he said as he looked back at his own journey—going from one place to another without truly stopping to appreciate anything.
"Did I ever enjoy it?" he wondered.
Granny observed him in silence before speaking again. "You're thinking about your own journey, aren't you? Believe , you're going to enjoy it," she assured him.
Blade smiled faintly. "That's what I'm hoping for," he admitted.
For the first ti, he reflected on everything. He had been given a powerful weapon and spent his life going from one world to another without truly caring about what he was doing. He was also the strong kid who had once stood helplessly as Camille died. At that mont, he had understood—he wasn't as great as he thought he was.
And now, he was here in this world.
"Maybe I should go back and spend so ti with Camille," he mumbled, picking up his loot. The only worthwhile items he had obtained were the Troll Warlord's Greatsword and the Troll Skins.
Not to ntion the many gold coins he had collected, Blade took everything with him and headed back to the smithy.
Ryan looked at him carefully, sensing a change in the air around him. It was as if Blade was no longer a lost kid, but soone who had found his purpose. Ryan smiled at first, but then a horrifying thought struck him.
"Don't tell … I turned him into a battle maniac!!"
He quickly examined Blade's face, searching for any signs of madness.
"Nope, he looks normal… Maybe sothing else happened."
Blade walked up to him and placed the materials on the table.
"I brought the Troll skins," Blade said.
Ryan nodded and handed him a blueprint.
"Good. Here's the blueprint," he said, passing it to Blade, who took it eagerly.
" I have acquired it, but at most I was able to make was an Epic one, I am giving you in hope you make its best version" he said as he Blade looked at the production thod.

"This is surely expensive. Are you sure you're giving it to for free?" Blade asked.
Ryan ruffled Blade's hair with a grin. "Look at , I'm getting old, and I have yet to find a successor. You're the best talent I could hope for," he said, patting Blade on the back. "Just make sure to create sothing that blows everyone's mind."
Blade nodded. "I will."
Ryan nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Let's get to work, then," he said as he took out the Shadow-Infused Ignots along with other necessary materials.
