Leveling Up By Surviving Alone - L.U.B.S.A Chapter 43

 

!

 

‘…Shark Jaw Greatsword…? No, no!’

 

That sounds a bit lame.

 

Isn’t there a cooler name?

 

For some reason, only funny names keep popping into Ji Yeonwoo’s head.

 

“Geez. This is tough.”

 

Pfft~

 

Pfft, pfft~!

 

He desperately tries to deny the funny names that keep coming to mind.

 

Of course, the system, which can read Ji Yeonwoo’s thoughts, didn’t deny the name.

 

– **Jawsbar (B)** has been registered as your creation.

 

“Nooooooo!”

 

Ji Yeonwoo panicked.

 

The name of the thing he poured his heart and soul into is **Jawsbar**? ( A korean Ice Cream)

 

Sure, he thought it might be fun to give it such a name,

 

‘I even thought it was a shame it wasn’t light blue…!’

 

But no matter what, the name of the creation he worked so hard on should be cool, and now it’s **Jawsbar**. It’s a great name, but it’s too cute and endearing for a weapon that’s supposed to slice through monsters.

 

Wouldn’t something like **Butcher** or **Megalodon Sword** be more fitting…?

 

“Can’t I… change it?”

 

– ……

 

The system didn’t respond.

 

“Sigh~ I wish I could cancel and give it a different name~~~”

 

– ……

 

Even as he grumbled to himself, glaring at the sky, nothing changed.

 

The name of the shark jaw greatsword he poured his heart into was finalized as **Jawsbar**.

 

“Sigh… Jawsbar, sigh……”

 

He let out a deep sigh.

 

But,

 

For some reason, the corners of Ji Yeonwoo’s mouth twitched.

 

“Jawsbar… pfft……”

 

While it’s a shame it’s not a cool name, Ji Yeonwoo doesn’t entirely dislike the catchy name **Jawsbar**.

 

– **Jawsbar (B)** has been registered as your creation.

– Upon registration, two traits of the original material have been reflected.

 

“Oh?”

 

This isn’t a wish fulfillment.

 

Upon registration, two traits of the original material, the bull shark, seem to have been reflected.

 

– When wielded underwater, **Tenacious Bite Force (B) (Active)** is additionally applied.

– When wielded underwater, ** Shark Bite (B) (Active)** can be used.

 

“…This is insane?”

 

He doesn’t know exactly what the two skills do.

 

But being able to use two additional B-grade skills when swinging it in water is an insane advantage. No matter what the skills are, they’ll be helpful, and the names alone sound powerful.

 

That alone is amazing, but the next statement made Ji Yeonwoo’s heart race again.

 

– This object can hold two wishes.

– Would you like to use your class skill, **Wish Granting**?

 

“Of course!”

 

When you register something as a creation, you can grant it a wish.

 

When he made the combat raft, he could grant it one wish.

 

But this time, he can grant it two wishes!

 

Ji Yeonwoo immediately used **Wish Granting**,

 

and **Jawsbar** was enveloped in light as two wishes were imbued into it.

 

The slight disappointment is that Ji Yeonwoo can’t arbitrarily decide the wishes.

 

The wishes are reflected based on the subconscious thoughts he had while making **Jawsbar**, so even Ji Yeonwoo himself doesn’t know exactly what wishes will be granted.

 

But this time, he has a rough idea of what the wishes might be.

 

‘I’m smart, you know!’

 

That’s right.

 

While making **Jawsbar** (…), Ji Yeonwoo kept wishing for one thing.

 

He didn’t know if it would be registered as a creation, but just in case, he always imagined what he wanted while making something.

 

That wish was,

 

‘I hope this can be swung well in water.’

 

Since he thought he’d be swinging it in water a lot, he wished it could be swung without resistance in water.

 

If his wish was properly reflected, wouldn’t it have a similar effect?

 

– When less than 50cm of the sword’s tip is submerged in water, swimming speed doubles.

 

In other words, if you swim with about 50cm of the sword sticking out of the water, you can swim twice as fast as usual.

 

“…No. That’s not it. I never wished for that… never wished for that…!”

 

He wants to scream that he never wished for such a thing.

 

But what comes to mind is,

 

The image of himself swimming like a shark with the tip of the sword sticking out of the water, thinking, ‘Hehe. They’ll think I’m a shark from the outside,’ with a silly grin on his face.

 

“I only thought it would be fun for a moment… just a brief moment….”

 

In any case, one wish flew away like that.

 

But he still has another wish left.

 

This time, it’s definitely going to be something efficient, like being able to swing the sword in water as if there’s no resistance!

 

The wish that just came out was based on his thoughts, but aside from that, he predominantly thought about wanting to freely wield the sword in water while making it.

 

So he had no doubt.

 

The next wish would definitely be something that allows him to freely swing the sword in water…

 

– **Jawsbar**’s color is fixed to light blue.

 

“Damn it, seriously!”

 

Ji Yeonwoo threw **Jawsbar** down.

 

The color of **Jawsbar**, now half-buried in the ground, was light blue.

 

And as he looked at it, he couldn’t help but think it looked cool.

 

“…….”

 

He had to admit it.

 

His subconscious wanted this…

 

– The Watcher asks what’s wrong, why he’s so angry.

– They wonder if a bad skill came out, and what skill it was.

 

“…Ahaha.”

 

He couldn’t say it.

 

If he told them that the wish resulted in being able to play shark in the water and that **Jawsbar**’s color turned into actual light blue, even the Watcher would probably look at him with pity.

 

“I just… don’t want to answer right now……”

 

Ji Yeonwoo was deeply disappointed in himself, but that’s that, and **Jawsbar** is **Jawsbar**. Carrying this massive thing around will be a hassle, but it’ll be necessary when facing a bull shark-level monster.

 

“It’s heavy, but I’ll always carry it on the raft. I’m counting on you.”

 

As he said that and lifted **Jawsbar** from the ground,

 

– This object can have the **Multi-Tool Knife** skill applied.

– Would you like to apply it?

 

“Huh?”

 

This is truly unexpected.

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

A full night. The bright moonlight shines on the sea.

 

Ji Yeonwoo went out to sea on his half-destroyed raft.

 

On the raft was the vertically split head of the bull shark.

 

Going in the morning would’ve been fine, but leaving it like that would’ve made the split bull shark head spoil even more.

 

Splash,

 

Splash~

 

He threw one piece of the head into the sea, and then another. In this way, a total of seven bull shark pieces were placed like stepping stones from the beach to the kelp forest.

 

‘Is there a party going on right now?’

 

Indeed, at the entrance of the kelp forest, countless fish were feasting on the shark tail. The once massive tail chunk was now just bones. Finding the second chunk was easy. The distribution of the fish was noticeably different.

 

There, large fish like triggerfish, rockfish, and scorpionfish were gathered, burying their heads in the second bull shark chunk.

 

Around them, young juveniles and smaller fry were circling, waiting for their turn.

 

Ji Yeonwoo’s satisfied smile fades as he watches the banquet he hosted.

 

The fry, the future of this place, weren’t getting anything to eat.

 

‘The rich get richer, huh.’

 

Ji Yeonwoo found a spot where the large fish were lined up and used **Rapid Swimming** to approach.

 

Explosively closing in, Ji Yeonwoo had a harpoon in his hand.

 

Bang!

 

Thud!

 

Stab,

 

and with the remaining two uses of **Rapid Swimming**, he leapt out of the water.

 

Splash!

 

Whoosh~

 

The end of the arc landed, as expected, on the raft.

 

In Ji Yeonwoo’s hand, the harpoon had four large fish skewered and flailing.

 

“I’ll enjoy eating you. Be as delicious as your long life.”

 

At those words, the four fish slumped in despair.

 

Ji Yeonwoo grinned, stuck the harpoon upside down into a basket, and retrieved it from the air.

 

The multi-tool knife, shaped like a harpoon, was summoned back into the air, and the skewered fish fell with a thud.

 

“No matter how you think about it, it’s useful.”

 

The class skill, **Multi-Tool Knife** of the **Romantic Rift Survivor**.

 

No matter where you throw it, it can be resummoned, and the shape of the weapon changes automatically based on the skill applied. It’s an absurd skill.

 

Now, that skill has been applied to **Jawsbar** instead of the hunting knife.

 

As proof, the harpoon he’s holding isn’t black but light blue.

 

The weight remains the same, and the weapon’s durability matches **Jawsbar**.

 

It’s much sturdier than before.

 

Even the harpoon, saw, scissors, spatula, sashimi knife… all the handles of these forms are wrapped in the same shark skin as **Jawsbar**’s main body.

 

It’s an insane upgrade!

If there’s a downside, it’s that he can no longer use the ‘hunting knife’ shape, which was advantageous for throwing, but that can be covered by throwing the sashimi knife or harpoon shapes. Most importantly, he no longer has to carry the massive 2-meter-long **Jawsbar** around, as it’s now portable.

 

It’s truly an absurd class skill.

 

At this point, isn’t the **Romantic Rift Survivor** class actually an S-grade class?

 

“Hmm, no matter how you look at it, it’s not that, right?”

 

Chuckling, he returned home.

 

Before he could even park (?) the raft, a strange sound started to reach his ears.

 

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

 

“Huh?”

 

Wondering what was going on, he turned his head and saw Kim Kkokko diligently brooding over her eggs.

 

Kim Kkokko was picking up her plate with her beak and slamming it on the ground.

 

It was a clear protest demanding food.

 

The corners of Ji Yeonwoo’s mouth twitched.

 

Well, brooding eggs is no small task.
