'' So my only choice is to obtain a sword immediately because my chances of surviving is low without equipping a set of weapons or armory from my hand''
'' Then my only goal is to obtain a sword as sake for my survival, it is my only hope on surviving this wilderness, my only hope of fulfilling my dreams''
As Elias muttered himself to obtain a sword beforehand, He must find a way to achieve the strength that was lend by the system, the sword skill FEROCIOUS STRIKE, from which is only exclusive to swords and it is prohibited to use this skill by other weapons such as daggers, and even Elias fist cannot apply this sword skill
From Elias perspective, this sword skill holds a deep resentment from his past, he wanted to beco e stronger and soon become a solier to serve from his country, he saw this sword skill as an opportunity to get stronger with the use of the sword, He saw the sword marks his beginning of his journey, The journey to get stronger and prove Elias that can climb the leaderboard in the future.
Seeing that he cannot apply his bought sword skill to other weapons, He determined to himself that he will find a sword in no time, And yet, there are other ways to obtain a sword, it is either craft his own sword with the use of the resources in the jungle, from which it is limited to the wilderness, or magically happened to stumble a sword in a wilderness, either dropped by the previous owner or killed during the process
But none of his methods work due to the vast space that the wilderness has and it is impossible to get a sword in the wilderness, even if Elias found it in the jungle, it is still not enough to use a abandoned sword due to a weakened state or was covered in rust from which weakens the sword durability
And craft a sword will not work on Elias because a profound resources that is imposible to foud in the vast wilderness of Alborn, he saw that he can only craft daggers instead of swords because swords require a complex information that can craft easily, Daggers on the other hand, required little to no struggle to craft a dagger since it is durable, cheap and easy to make from Elias,
Also it is harder to craft a sword because it requires a lot of materials and resources that he stone sword it provides, it contains a presice stability to the sword handle that daggers cannot compete its stability instead, and the sword requires a sharp edge that was strentched all the way to the tip of the sword, from which it requires multiple sharpening and a durable rock that can withstand multiple impact that can infict the damage, Much like a lifesaver for people who uses swords as their weapons instead of daggers.
Elias knew that he cannot obtain a sword easily, he must rely on his dagger instead because it is easy to make and it is Elias preferred wepon for his self defence and his adventures from the wilderness,
But Elias saw that his stone dagger was destroyed by the wolf earlier in the fight, he cannot defend himself unless he will craft a stone dagger again, he saw that his dagger was only reliant to close attacks but the sword functions differently than the dagger, He knew that the sword can reach on long distances and is preferred in close to mid combat based on the enemy positions.
And he knew that he will craft the dagger again in order to survive, But luckily for Elias, he can craft a stone dagger easily and precisely without struggle, His remaining resources from crafting a stone dagger was stored in his backpack, completing the set of materials and supplies that can craft a dagger easily and successfully.
In his backpack, There were sharpened rock blades that he carved before his journey, he sharpened the stone multiple times until it is sharp enough to cut through skin, it is a rough stone that was measely carved into perfection, Also, he has a woven handle made out of sheep wool and cotton fibers that he had before his departure, the handle of the spear plays a huge role of grip strength and it fits as a support for imcoming impact that can reflect the dagger durability, which makes it stable.
He saw that the resources were only used from crafting a stone dagger, These resources and materials plays a role of surviving the wilderness with the use of self defence, he saw the true horrors of the wilderness because it is packed of dangerous animals and wild predators that easily devour Elias
But the materials that was crafted from the stone dagger doent not meet the requirements of crafting the stone sword, Crafting a stone sword is harder that crafting a stone dagger due to its size and strength that each weapons compare to each other
'' Pheww,...….. My only choice is to craft a stone dagger instead, it is harder to craft a sword,…..So why make things complicatd while I was confortable with the use of my dagger''
'' My survival skills are exactly average, I can only craft a stone dagger with the use of my bare hands, But crafting a sword...…..No, I cannot craft a sword'' Elias muttered himself
Finally Elias crafted a stone dagger with the use of his remaining resources from his backpack, he saw that crafting a sword is easier because you just need to assemble the parts effectively, the tip on the above and the wooden handle from below. Like I can make a tutorial just by assembling a stone dagger blindfolded
He assembeled every parts of the dagger, the sharpened rock, the wooden handle and the cotton fibers were merged in one place, thus making his stoen dagger without signs of struggle,
'' Finally I crafted my stone dagger, I can use this to survive the wild effectively, ...…Basically my secondary weapon than the sword''
'' I will use this dagger with my life, even my dagger breaks into pieces, I will still fight like my life depends on this''
After Elias successfully crafted the dagger, he saw that the sun is about to set, the sunlight that gleams into his vision suddenly vanishes into thin air, the darkness suddenly scattered in the trees, Visually knew that it is about to turn into nighttime,
