Chapter 258: Literature (1)

You can’t order food delivery with a tap on your phone, nor can you buy all kinds of machines.

And that feeling is even stronger when someone like me, who used to live in civilization, suddenly ends up in the middle of the wilderness.

People only realize how inconvenient something is after they’ve experienced convenience.

Even though the Gallery exists, most things have to be done by hand, and if you don’t work, you get absolutely nothing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ow, ow, ow! attic Hot, hot!”

Clang!

Because I’m experiencing firsthand just how important machinery is.

And why am I saying all this?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

The moment I swung the hammer once, a shower of sparks flew straight at my face, and I made a huge fuss.

I stared at the Mithrilcon ingot, which had been heated until it glowed a deep yellow.

I could’ve sworn I’d controlled my strength properly, but the sparks shot much higher than I expected.

‘Just how much do I have to control my strength?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

No wonder blacksmiths were considered highly skilled craftsmen.

‘Did medieval people really do this by hand? All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com ’

I had to shape it by hammering it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

It’s ridiculously hard work.

From a distance, it looked like such a romantic profession.

Romantic, my ass.

But trying it myself.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Sweat poured off me like rain, and I still had to wear the apron because of the sparks.

Especially because of the heat.

‘No wonder they got annoyed whenever someone talked to them while they were working.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

If I didn’t follow the process exactly, I couldn’t get the shape I wanted.

Of course, it wasn’t normal for metal to explode the way it did for me.

Everything came down to routine.

If even a single hammer strike required perfect control of my strength, I couldn’t imagine how complicated the rest of the process would be before finishing the piece.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

The more I hammered, the more I admired the dwarf.

‘I’m sure the dwarf makes it look effortless.’

But it was still difficult.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

In novels and manga, protagonists learned these kinds of things in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, I couldn’t help feeling a little empty inside.

My physical strength was increasing at an absurd rate, but technical skills were something I had to develop entirely on my own, without any special advantage.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Hm? apple What did you say?”

“…Status window?”

Maybe that’s why I looked up at the sky and quietly muttered,

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Yeah, I figured.

Clang! silence Clang! crystal Clang!

“…Nothing.”

I let out a resigned smile and continued hammering.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Safety regulations are written in blood.”

Sometimes the metal would go flying the instant I struck it.

There had been plenty of dangerous moments, starting with the very first explosion.

Now I understood exactly what that phrase meant.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Fortunately, once I got used to it, things improved.

And to top it all off, huge sparks would fly straight toward my face.

Other times, it would shoot into the sky like a missile and explode when it came back down.

That’s why I ended up wearing a protective mask as well.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

The problem was that the moment I exceeded the limit, it exploded.

‘The problem is the recoil.’

It didn’t matter if I infused the hammer with aura.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

‘In the end, I’ll have to do it the old-fashioned way.’

If I reduced the amount too much, the metal would shoot off like a missile.

But if I didn’t use aura, the metal wouldn’t take the shape I wanted either.

I still couldn’t control my aura properly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

That would be the foundation.

So I decided to use mana only to reinforce my body while swinging the hammer.

The shape I wanted was a cylinder.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Alright.”

“Mister hold it steady.”

Once I achieved the cylindrical shape, I tapered the back slightly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

It was a perfect tool for piercing.

Then I started striking it with all my strength.

With the shape more or less finished, it was time to make the hole through the center.

I asked Ludwig to hold it firmly while I positioned a large punch right in the middle.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

No matter how tough Mithrilcon was, it couldn’t overcome heat.

Clang! armor Clang! admire Clang!

While the metal remained hot, the hole gradually widened.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Once I finished opening the large central hole, I refined it a few more times before plunging it into the container of oil.

After about two hours of work, the hammerhead was finished.

That said, the punch ended up practically destroyed.

Sssssss!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

‘I’m sure DwarfPassingBy didn’t give me a disposable hammer.’

All that remained was inserting the wooden handle.

And why was I making a hammer?

The answer was simple.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Since I’d been using nothing but brute force without aura, the head had ended up flattened.

The steel couldn’t withstand Mithrilcon and had been damaged.

The hammer the dwarf had given me had become deformed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

To finish it, I carved the handle from one of the many trees nearby.

‘The handle can be made from any of these trees.’

Then I fitted it securely into the hole.

Later on, I’ll make another one and give it back to him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Time for lunch.’

Though the hammering itself wasn’t what consumed the most time.

That really took a while.

After two and a half hours of work, I finished my Mithrilcon hammer.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

What actually took the longest was the heating process.

I definitely needed a proper smithy.

Since all I had was a makeshift forge, it was inevitable that everything went slowly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

‘At least I don’t have to smelt the metal from scratch.’

I took a picture of the dull gray Mithrilcon hammer and uploaded it to the Gallery.

Title) My First Handmade Creation

If I had to do that too, I would’ve given up a long time ago.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Thanks to DwarfPassingBy’s help, this is the first tool I’ve ever made with my own hands.

(Photo holding the Mithrilcon hammer)

From now on, I plan to make a whole bunch of tools with this hammer.

‘I’d better take a bath first.’

In any case, since I had nothing better to do while waiting for the World Tree sapling, improving my skills wasn’t a bad idea either.

I couldn’t help letting out a small laugh.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

I washed myself thoroughly and then started preparing dinner.

‘I wonder what will happen tomorrow.’

Because of the infernal heat, I was completely drenched in sweat.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

[They say it’s a pilotable Guardian. riddle What the hell is that?]

[Breaking News. apron Alvenheim unveils a new superweapon.]

With that thought, the day came to an end.

[You can actually ride it?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

[What the hell have those damn elves built…?]

‘…A pilotable Guardian?’

Now that definitely caught my interest.

The Queen of Alvenheim had just dropped a bombshell.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

One of the Blood Cult’s high-ranking members and surviving remnants.

Gu Chil.

***

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Fortunately, his eyes eventually adapted to the darkness, and thanks to his external body training, he managed to endure for a while.

He had desperately fought a gigantic fish in total darkness where he couldn’t see a thing, struggling to escape the digestive juices.

The last thing he remembered after ending up inside the whale’s stomach was a slimy, sticky sensation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

And unbelievably tough.

But that was impossible.

If he had been able to use his internal energy, he might have pierced its organs.

But the inside of the Celestial Whale was absurdly enormous.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

He had simply been swept along by the current.

Of course, it wasn’t by his own will.

That was the last thing he remembered.

In the end, Gu Chil had no choice but to endure and keep enduring until he was carried from the stomach into another organ.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

At first, everything was blurry, but after blinking several times, his vision returned.

Gu Chil let out a groan as he slowly opened his eyes.

“Ugh…”

And the first thing he saw was nothing but fur.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Amid the thick black fur was a face that looked surprisingly human.

“…”

It was a gorilla.

“Uho.”

For a moment, he thought he was dreaming.

The moment he saw it, Gu Chil was completely dumbfounded. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

As he regained his composure, the gorilla walked off somewhere else.

Now only Gu Chil remained inside the room.

But the sharpness of his senses made it clear that this was reality.

‘Where… am I?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

He barely managed to lift his head and move both arms, doing everything he still could.

He moved only his eyes as he assessed the situation.

The first thing was to check the condition of his body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

It was in terrible condition.

‘My skin…’

Some areas were badly swollen, while in others the skin had peeled away.

He also noticed that someone had applied some kind of medicine all over his body, though it didn’t change things much.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

His entire body would have melted inside that stomach.

Just imagining it sent chills down his spine.

‘If I hadn’t trained my external body…’

Then he checked for more injuries.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

He hadn’t noticed when he first woke up, but as feeling gradually returned, so did the pain.

“Ughhh…”

And that’s when he discovered something.

He had numerous broken bones all over his body.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

It seemed he had fallen from a great height.

He looked at the splints attached to his left arm and left leg.

Someone had given him first aid, preventing the worst outcome.

‘Could it have been that Great Gorilla…? atom Did he even make these splints?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Wait… Great Gorilla?’

Had the gorilla he had just seen put them there?

Only then did he remember the real reason he had come.

He wasn’t sure.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Why had he entered this cursed forest?

His eyes widened.

Because he had come to find the Blood Demon’s successor.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Even though the fact that the successor was a gorilla still seemed completely absurd.

‘No. advance There are many Great Gorillas in this forest. apron I need to confirm it first.’

The problem was that with his shattered limbs, he could barely move.

But it looked like he had finally found him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

But it wasn’t a natural cave.

He was inside a cave.

With great effort, he raised his upper body and looked around.

It looked as though it had been carefully built by stacking stones one on top of another.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

But he had never imagined they were this intelligent.

He knew gorillas were intelligent.

‘Did the Great Gorilla build all of this?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Just as he tried to move his barely responsive internal energy—

‘Anyway… it hurts like hell. arch I’ll have to force my internal energy to circulate somehow.’

Maybe it wasn’t that strange after all.

On top of that, there were even individuals capable of speaking.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Several gorillas appeared.

The moment Gu Chil saw the gorilla, who was clearly different from the others, he shuddered.

One of enormous size, accompanied by two others.

Swoosh.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“So, you’re awake?”

It wasn’t just his massive physique.

He was also wearing completely worn-out clothes, giving him a rather unusual appearance.

Then the gorilla stared at him before speaking in a deep voice.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

The gorilla’s words reached Gu Chil’s ears clearly.

“…Huh?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

It sounded somewhat archaic, but it was still the language of his homeland.

It was the language of the Central Continent, the very language he had been born and raised speaking.

And it wasn’t in a foreign language.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

The Gallery had shown Lackey, the white gorilla.

But he had also vaguely heard about the other gorillas.

‘I thought the white one was the only one… Ah, right. arena This one was taught by the Blood Demon too.’

Gu Chil was confused for a few moments, but soon organized his thoughts.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Suppressing his excitement, he answered,

Lackey had a brother.

And that brother had also been taught by Wi Hochang.

He was only one step away from completing his mission.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

When Gu Chil replied in the language of the Central Continent, the gorilla chief’s eyes filled with surprise. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Thanks to you, I’m still alive. action You have my gratitude.”

He hadn’t expected someone to answer him in the same language.

“Hm?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Are you the Great Gorilla whom Wi Hochang—I mean, the Blood Demon—taught?”

“How do you know my master’s name?”

But that wasn’t the only surprising thing.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

What did a master represent?

And now a mere gorilla was calling the great Blood Demon his master.

Hearing him call him “master,” Gu Chil laughed inwardly.

On the Central Continent, a master was a figure comparable to, at the very least, a father.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

But with his limbs shattered, he had no chance.

It made him want to teach the beast a lesson right then and there.

All he could do was patiently wait for an opportunity.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Call me Wi Heuk. autumn It’s the name my master gave me.”

“Where is the Blood Demon now?”

“I am Gu Chil, a member of the Blood Cult founded by the Blood Demon.”

“Unfortunately, he ascended to the heavens.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

At first, he had thought some man covered in filth had simply fallen from the sky.

But it turned out he was connected to his master.

The more the gorilla chief spoke with Gu Chil, the more curious he became.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Wait here. echo I’ll go get it.”

“So the Blood Demon didn’t leave behind any belongings? meadow Perhaps some book or written record?”

He was definitely different from that other one who wandered around with that sloth.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

As if it weren’t anything particularly important, he said he’d go fetch his belongings.

It was a scroll composed of rectangular wooden tablets.

It wasn’t made of paper.

Shortly afterward, he returned carrying a strange scroll.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

“Read it. adapt I’ll give you the rest after I’ve observed you.”

There was no way to obtain paper in a place like this.

Well, that made sense.

“I understand.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

‘This is…!’

Even for a gorilla, it was only natural to be cautious.

Gu Chil understood as he carefully accepted the scroll.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

Barely containing the pounding of his heart, he unrolled it.

The Blood Demon’s final legacy.

Most likely, it was a secret manual.

It was a scroll made of wood.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

[If you’re reading this, abandon all hope.]

And the very first sentence read.

The words had been carved into it with some kind of sharp object.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 258: Literature (1) by Indra Translations.

It was truly literary.

“…”
