We both beat ourselves up in different ways that didn’t give us damage, but it still worked, the proof of that is my ‘Hard Skin’ skill.
It essentially hardens my skin, though while doing hardness training, I deactivate this skill as it might slow down my training.
The training itself is painful, though we don’t show it, especially while mom is here.
She thinks that we’re lightly hitting ourselves with the tools we use, which primarily consist, currently, of bats with sandpaper tops, uneven steel rods, and the floor is steel with random bits that pop out in random places and stones are thrown all over the floor.
The rooms temperature is 45 degrees.
Dad says ‘The forge is far hotter than this and I kinda believe his as I’ve never been to one.
I did some research and turns out that what he said is false assuming

I had 11 girlfriends in my life, one of them was a yandere. Yuna Tavierner A half-japanese, half-french woman, hotter than the sun, pink haired, but holy hell was she crazy. She came from a mafia family, so, in order to escape her, I was forced to completely change my everything 8 times. I even got ‘Acting’ and ‘Disguise’ to S+ rank thanks to that. A/N: don’t forget, MC is 3k+ year old mentally. She got an obsession, but I realized it too late, as she was acting all sweet and cute, but once I entered her room, that’s when I realized I got a yandere for myself. Watching and reading about them might be cool and all, but having one for yourself is not. It didn’t help that her jealous fiancé was after my tail, thinking that I had seduced Yuna for myself. The last time I met her, I heard how she’ll cut of half of each of my limbs to keep me locked up and how we’ll be together for eternity. *Shiver* I don’t want that Thus I unleashed all my strength and started counter attacking

I know the perfect skills to pick, ‘Combustion’ and ‘Mana-kinesis’I had both of these skills, though I ignored ‘Mana-kinesis’ and it only got to D rank, because it requires a bunch of theoretical knowledge to make 100% use of ‘Mana-kinesis’.Though this time, since I’ll waste less time on useless things like exploring and searching for hidden encounters and the like, I can focus on learning about ‘Fusion’ more and making it more usefulBut ‘Combustion’, on the other hand is a skill I really, really, REALLY liked, in fact it was one of my most favorite skills and I was the first to take to S+ rank, though that was at the end of my life.‘Combustion’ is really versatile, since it’s description at G rank quite literaly is ‘When combustion is used on a particular area/item/material, it makes said thing combust’And for others it turns further on

Though he pushed me back…Not surprising, we’re talking about a potentially 3-ton tiger here, missing a leg and a wing doesn’t make this any lighter, thou his skin is getting lighter.And after that we started exchanging blows, I traded my axe with a corroding edge’s attacks for a bunch of air slashed and a claw that is thicker than my 3 fingers.And we started to fight on the ground, but in the sky on air.And slowly I understood one thing, I have a plan which is called 2 for 1, aka, I give you 1 really good wound and you have a chance to leave 2 lighter wounds one me.By this time all the pebbles stuck to the tiger, specifically his core and to not waste mana I tied them with a mana wire.I also started to give some of my attention on trying to cut of the damn cat’s tail.So I started to slowly make an earth blade, no hilt, just the blade and heat it up, though just by a bit, to make shaping easier.

My first fighting scene, I was really excited to write it, but I had to redo it twice since it either became too short or too monotonous, even if you think this is bad, trust me, it could be far worse.Either way, wish you a wonderful and productive day.-----------------This means that the morning dew flower bloomed for the third time, I must be lucky.A dew flower has a low chance to produce a singular dew berry, which will mature by the first bloom, will be over-ripe by the second bloom and fully rotten by the third bloom.I also took this berry; I have some people that I must kill in order to make sure that Earth remains fully livableThere was a couple of psycho crazies who decided to make an extremely potent poison and they succeeded alright, but then they spilled the poison by accident and thus a third of Earth became unlivable for 2k years.They won’t be in this zone, but I can find them in Chine, so guess I’ll tr

Power-up
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I officially edited a chap before on this, but I will write it for those that either reach this chap before the other chap's edit: current MC stats are based on an avg. males before mana was introduced, same for skills, meaning the fireball skill is so high ranking becuase the max possible output is just that low.I've prepared plans to slowly point this out, but in webnovel I've faced a coment regarding this, so since I don't want you to think that this is a half-assed novel, I will say this for now. Thank you for reading this message and have a fun time reading. A/N ends<A time skip that is far too long than it should be>1 day left till the start of “The First Mana Wave”On that day a huge wave of mana will sweep the world and those that can’t hold out or have absolutely zero affinity for mana will mutate.I know this not only because I’m a regressor but also due to the fact

First official lesson
First, you make a box big enough to house the thing that you wish to cast plus a few centimeters to the sides, then you put in the thing that will hold the cast while it cools down and when you pour it.Then you do the same thing with the other half of the box or you fill half of the box.The next step is to carve the mold, weather it is by hand or just pressing a plastic, wax or a cast made of any other material into the sand, if the box is split in two, you can remove the cast, but if it’s one, then leave the cast, but make sure it is made of a material that burn really well and really quick.Then, if the box is separated in two, then you put it together and don’t forget to make a couple of wholes where you will pour in the metal.And then you take your molten metal and pour it.This time I used a wooden box and clay, plus a foam cast.My cast turned out unsuccessful, because the metal didn’t completely fill in a corner,
