Runes And Inscriptions[2]

[Ace POV],

After deciding to make a rune, I drew my chair closer to the table in front of me and called out the primordial chronicle in my head before heading to the general sub option of the store.

Since I wanted to make a rune, I needed to buy the materials.

The good news is that for such a complicated and complex concept, the main materials required for rune making were quite common, and this was not me speaking from my basic alchemy knowledge in my head and from my own mind or thoughts.

There are three main materials used in rune making: ink, the object used to engrave the rune, and crystal powder.

What complicated matters was one when desired to create a high-quality rune.

For instance, the rune-making process and the tools used to process the materials.

Of course, this was only for basic runes, as basic alchemy knowledge calls them.

The first step in making a rune, according to basic alchemy knowledge, is to know which rune you want to make and to visualise it, which can be done in your mind or on a sketch.

I decided to do this as a sketch, so I bought some plain scrolls and a charcoal pen and set them on the table in front of me.

I considered buying a few more because I expected to fail a few times before seeing any progress, if there was any progress at all, but after a few seconds of thought, I decided against it and continued with what I was doing.

The coins may be useful for something later on depending on the situation, so I should try to manage as many coins as possible.

Of course, I wasn't going to use this to affect myself.

With this in mind, I returned my attention to the panel in front of me before going to the search bar in the general sub option to look for other items that I needed, the next of which was a stove, a pot, and a bowl.

I needed a stove and a pot because I was going to use them to make the ink required for the engraving process in rune making.

Following that, I brought a brush.

These were not random purchases because I was following what was listed in the basic alchemy knowledge.

I also brought a small knife to engrave the rune on the object I planned to engrave the rune on.

This was a gradeless item, as were the plain scrolls, brush, pot, and bowl, as opposed to the stove, which was a normal grade item that generates heat on its own with the aid of a crystal core.

Perhaps it was too late, but I was starting to realize that even low-grade items have their own applications.

Some may appear to be useless, but depending on the circumstances, they can be useful.

As I was thinking about this, I remembered that the last item needed was crystal powder.

This isn't the final item because there are still a few things needed, but because I planned to buy them as I made the rune, I referred to the crystal powder as the final item.

The fact that this was literally just a crystal core that appeared crushed but wasn't is astounding.

Because of the relevant information that came with the rune knowledge regarding the crystal powder, I discovered that, in addition to the usual method of harvesting crystal cores from Monster corpses, there was another method of obtaining crystal cores, which was from crystal mines.

Crystal mines only appear in places where the mana density is many times higher than usual, so if one came across a place like this, it was very likely that one would come across a crystal mine or another treasure like the awakening tree.

There are also times when the environment does not require a dense mana environment for a crystal mine to appear.

It is usually left to chance.

The crystal power is derived from crystal cores that failed to condense their shape.

There was no more information about crystal powder because the basic alchemy knowledge only made a passing reference to it, so I didn't know much about it.

It's also possible that there was no other information about it.

As I was thinking this, a white dim light appeared in front of me before disappearing, followed by a small bottle containing a white substance.

When I saw this, I grabbed the item that was hovering in midair and placed it on the table in front of me, but when I noticed that the table was already getting crowded, I decided to properly arrange the materials as I stood up from my seat.

I moved the stove, pot, crystal powder, and bowl to one table, the plain scrolls, brush, and knife to another, and the rest to another.

After that, I went to the last less crowded table and took an earth rat corpse from my storage ring before placing it there.

Aside from that, I brought out several bottles of blood that I had collected from monsters in the past.

An amazing fact, I believe, is that most of the items I took from monsters in the past were not taken because I knew what I was doing.

I knew what I was doing, but it was based on my basic alchemy knowledge because it had general list of the most useful objects in a monster's body.

To think that one day it will finally serve its purpose.

I intended to use the monster blood as ink in the engraving process.

It could be argued that making blood into ink is impossible, and I had no intention of making it a real one.

When the basic alchemy knowledge mentioned ink in the rune knowledge, it wasn't referring to real ink, but rather any magical liquid.

It's similar to how water is referred to as something else in real science.

The same is true for ink, which refers to any liquid with Magical properties that has been processed for the rune-making process.

I hadn't yet processed the ink, so it was still just bottled monster blood.

The blood of the monster can also be referred to as magical liquid because it contains traces of mana, which is understandable given that it is the blood of a magical monster.

Only after it has been processed can it be called ink.

And the reason I brought the earth rat monster corpse out was because I intended to engrave the runes with its body parts

One of the reasons I took this earth rat corpse was because I became curious about their anatomy after touching them for several hours, and my curiosity won.

I would have thrown away the corpse, but it happened to be useful now.

I had other monster corpses in my storage ring, but I chose this one because it was the most recent and smaller in size.

I knew that time freezes in the storage ring, so stressing over finding a fresh monster corpse was pointless unless there were monster corpses in the storage ring that weren't fresh again by the time it was placed there.

As I was thinking of these things, I was about to begin my attempt at making a rune when I stopped and turned to look at my clothes and realised it didn't feel right to begin an experiment with.

It didn't feel right, so to remove the distraction and make myself more comfortable, I quickly went to change my clothes into something more carefree from the mall we looted.

If I had done this experiment the same way I did my home experiments, I would have won a lab coat, but since that wasn't available here, I couldn't.

I could have bought something from the store, but I didn't want to.

I now have money, but I want to manage it.

Even the smallest bronze coin can be useful.

As I was thinking about these things, I changed my current clothes into something else.

It was simply a black long sleeve shirt, black leather pants, and black gloves.

It was easy to move around in, and since that was part of what I was looking for, I stayed with the clothes.

After that, I purchased a set of four magical lambs for each table, each containing the tools and materials for rune making for better lighting.

Fortunately, these magical lambs run on the magic in the air, so I didn't have to worry about masking some strange odour.

With this in mind, I finally began my attempt to create a rune.
