“Hm-hmm-hm-hmmm…”
I was sitting in that classic japanese posture—seiza, I think it was called—humming peacefully as the flames burned behind my back. A smug grin stretched across my face as I held my fishing rod, enjoying some well-earned relaxation.
Yes, I crafted it off-screen.
No, you don’t get another crafting montage—you're probably bored of those already, aren't cha?
Same went for the quiver.
Right now, this was supposed to be peaceful fishing time.
Keyword: supposed.
Because the quality?
Absolutely terrible.
Lesser Fishing Rod
Quality: Lesser
"No shit, Sherlock."
But honestly?
Fair.
The thing was nothing more than an oversized stick. The only redeeming feature was the spider-web string, but even with that, a fish could easily snap the wooden hook with a sneeze.
A stone hook wasn’t even an option—this was finesse work, not brute crafting.
But hey, as I said before: some wins here and some loses there.
Just take a look at the scythe!
Weapon: Scythe & Bow Hybrid / Executioner & Archer Hybrid
Materials: Webbed Cherry Wood & Stone
Durability: 575
Quality: MAX
Yeah.
MAX!
I’d tested a few swings earlier, and honestly? A comically oversized hammer would probably hurt 40% less than this thing. The shockwaves alone left scratches across the nearby oaks.

As for the bow half…
I simply sucked! But the failed archery attempts had unlocked the [Accuracy] ability. I'll look into that another time.
For now, I sat there trying to catch breathing sushi while occasionally admiring my masterpiece like a proud artisan parent.
“…Alright,” I muttered. “Stat window!”
Unspent points: 10.
Six from the dice. Four from leveling.
I nodded decisively.
Hm, what should I—
Wobble-wobble.
Wobble-wobble-wobble.
My rod twitched violently — do not quote me on that.
“OH!”
I yanked the girthy stick upward with all of my strength—I beg you, do not quote me on that!
No metal meant no reel, so brute force it was. The wooden pole snapped dangerously—hanging on for dear life—as I dragged whatever was on the line toward myself.
Splash!
I managed to pull it.
One fish.
Beautiful.
“…Huh.”
Was that all?
Just…
A fish?
Normal food...
I stared at it for a moment, oddly moved to tears.
“…Wow.”
For the first time since arriving in this world, something felt completely ordinary.
And somehow—
As I picked up the fish, preparing it for what would soon become a glorious soup—
The world darkened.
A massive shadow swallowed the ground beneath me.
My instincts screamed.
My rabbit ears cowered against my head.
Pure, animal panic surged through my body.
Was that the Morph skill rewriting my DNA?
Didn’t matter.
What mattered was the fear.
It wasn’t normal fear.
It was ancient.
Heavy.
Unholy.
My body locked instantly. Every muscle went limp, refusing to obey me. I couldn’t even turn my head. Couldn’t breathe properly. Couldn’t move enough to activate Appraisal.
I didn’t need to see it to know.
Something inside me already understood.
A dragon!
The shadow passed slowly overhead, stretching across the river, the trees, the world itself.
Then—
Light returned.
Air rushed back into my lungs.
My body moved again.
I lunged toward my scythe—
Too late.
The sky was empty.
Whatever had flown above was already gone.
Wait—what would I even do with the scythe against that beast? Tickle it to death?
“…There goes a new Bestiary entry,” I muttered weakly.
Damn.
Hm?
Wait.
I think I missed something.
Hybrid between Executioner & Archer?
“…What?”
That hadn’t been there before.
Was it?
I immediately opened the Weaponry tab.
I blinked.
Then blinked again.
“…C-classes?”
Each weapon had a role attached to it.
A specialization.
An identity.
Just like a real RPG!
A slow grin spread across my face, the lingering fear already dissolving under curiosity.
“That is sooooooo koooool.”
