We ran into very few beasts for the rest of the day. I never even need to put my armor on since none of the beasts were a true threat. We traveled a little longer than before due to the slightly later start that morning.
The evening was spent finishing my new swords. Some would think this was a bit much since I had an awesome mythical blade already. But they would not be looking at the reality of the situation. Sky Cutter stood out and would have me pegged as an outsider by anyone smart enough or skilled enough to recognize its potential. Sky cutter was also a weapon of mass destruction if I wanted to murder a whole town. Or kill a horde sky cutter was perfect. If I were to get into a fight near allies with Sky Cutter I would be as dangerous to them as I was to the enemy.
The evening was spent fitting the handle, the guard, and the pommel. I basically glued the pieces onto the swords and pinned the handle together. From there it was sanding until I was happy with it. When I get to the point that I am happy with both blades I get notifications. I was expecting this so I went into my screen to see what I have received.

That is just broken! I think I have found a glitch in the matrix. I don’t know how but the plus two levels went to all of my classes. I can only guess that since people here only have one class. The system must think I am more than one person. The avatar never said anything about this so I can only guess that no one told him. It would make sense, that would not be something I would let slip. Hell, the only reason I would even consider saying anything to him now is because he is so isolated. The other thing is that people would only see my highest-level class so most people I ran into right now would think I am only level forty-seven. Which, from our conversations is a respectable level it is nowhere near the most powerful beings considering how high level a human, alvairan, or demon can get. The normal human level cap was around one hundred and fifty. Mine would be about two hundred because I am a mage, if not for my outworlder boon which means I effectively have no level cap. That is a good thing because right now I am sitting on fifty-seven total levels, and it has been four days since I left the grove. I can’t lie once I got over my fear of being dropped in this forest has been a blessing. If I had been dropped in a less dangerous zone it would have been obvious what I was. Being dropped here while being lonely and dangerous, has been good enough to get me up to speed. Now I am strong enough to go toe to toe with higher-level humanoids. I also have a trump card against most beasts.

I need to see what my newest title gives me!
This is an absolute win. I am also getting a new floor in the library so once I get those books it will make learning any alchemy easier. I also see that I will have guaranteed success on my next item. Insight kicks in letting me know that it will affect whatever project I start next. That could be dangerous because I have an idea of what my next big project will be. So, to make sure that that perk will be used on the big item I want to work on I take out the materials for the next thing I want to work on.
I pull one of the two-and-a-half-foot-long spider claws and a piece of the branch from the guardian tree. And start working out how to fit them together. I have to take out a chisel and mark the claw and the wood. I do this long enough to make sure that the perk takes. It shows me it is active when the items start to glow. I am going to make a bladed polearm with these items. Since the claw is of legendary quality and the branch came from a mythic tree the results should be spectacular. I can also tell it’s going to take me days to finish it correctly. Some would think that I was doing too much since I have a mythic weapon. Why would I want to make something like that? The difference is that a weapon made from materials from this world that was that powerful while it would stand out does not mark me as an outworlder. Once I can advance this world to the iron age then Sky Cutter might not stand out so much. Until then though I am only going to use it when it is a situation that requires me to leave no witness to what I have done.
I stored my new weapons in my armory storage, and call it a night. The next day goes the same as the previous four days. I continue to gather herbs and stones, and kill beasts for their part and cores. At night I work on the haft of my new polearm. I have to shave down the wood since the branch is thicker than necessary. If the branch would have been thicker, I would have split it I had another branch I was going to have to split four ways. I had thought about doing that to see if I could split the boon into more than one creation. Insight had kicked in and lead me to believe it was a bad idea. I figured that I was probably not the first person to have that thought. Insight kicked in again leading me to believe that crafting boon like this were common. Depending on how it rated what I made with the boon it was likely to get another one. I also had the feeling that I could start the process as early or late as I wanted and all the processes, I used would be successes as well this could be quite useful. There was a possibility that if I had tried to trick it, I would no longer get these types of boons. That was too much of a risk to take so I had not done it.
