Chapter 22: XXII

The problem with swords was that there were no modern versions; it was just a recreation of old designs with modern smithing techniques, so he had to carefully pick the ones he saw as the best. The khopesh was the best on the list for its versatility and sharpness, or something like that, but Kingsley clearly didn't like that because it looked awful.

Any sword design was okay for his men since if there was enough strength behind a swing, it would surely cut through anything, even if the user was using a steel baton. With that thought, Kingsley continued scrolling until he found a sword that suited what he wanted, a Maio Dao.

A Japanese sword that looked like a katana, but unlike the katana, actually seemed more ceremonial. The Miao Dao was used in combat and was quite a deadly blade. Kingsley didn't even think twice as he created 12 of them too.

Just as he was about to hand the weapons to them, the real problem dawned on him: exactly how would he teach them how to use these weapons when he knew nothing about them? He couldn't just expect Viktor to know how to use them when he probably hasn't even seen things like this before.

"Well, it's not like I can just..." Kingsley thought to himself but stopped when he realized just what nonsense he was about to say.

He literally created a living being, though unintentionally. It wasn't a stretch to say that he was probably capable of reading minds and tempering with them, but as a man who liked to think of the long term when making a decision,

Kingsley chose not to just send information just like that into their minds; he had to create something that would allow him to do so while giving them a sense of privacy and, if possible, even serve as a means for them to communicate among themselves.

"Ah, I've got it."

It wasn't exactly hard for him to come up with a device that could do what he wanted when he had seen many movies or comics that featured something like that. In movies like that, they also used them as identity tags or something, so Kingsley also planned to use them like that too.

"I think this will do," he thought as he looked at the small circular device in his palm.

He had created it to achieve the effect he wanted, though looking at it, anyone with even a bit more knowledge would know that Kingsley didn't create this alone. He may have had the idea, but without the help of the more detailed explanation from the Civilization crystal or laptop, he would have never created it.

Instant Transmission: The user is able to transmit information over vast distances in an instant to another person.

Mini map: The device uses sound waves to create a map of the area in the user's mind.

I.D.: The device, through some unknown means, is able to create an accurate profile of its user. The profile is then uploaded to central command.

Looking through its status, Kingsley smiled as it came with more than he hoped for. Following the instructions provided by the laptop, Kingsley placed it on his forehead, and immediately it seemed to come to life as it left his hand and started drilling its way into his skull.

"!!!"

"Why didn't it mention this part?" Kingsley thought as he screamed, but he still managed to create something that should help with the pain.

He didn't exactly know what it was since his thoughts were everywhere; after all, the device was basically performing surgery on his brain. Without thinking—not that he could do much of that in his situation—he jabbed the syringe into his body, and almost instantly the pain vanished.

Huff…huff

Kingsley lay on the floor, breathing heavily as he tried to process what just happened. He didn't see anything that stated that there would be this much pain when the device is used, but then again, he should have expected it. This was a device that connected to the brain and, by extension, the nervous system of the user to do its duties, so it made perfect sense that there would be pain involved if no proper steps were taken.

When this happened, Viktor and Hestia were at a complete loss for words. They didn't know what was going through their master's mind since all they saw him do was create certain objects, some familiar and others completely unfamiliar. After that, he would immediately fall back into thought, and the next second, he was on the floor screaming in pain.

Standing up from the floor, Kingsley cleaned up the little blood that came out and immediately picked up the injection he had used. On the side of the small metal cylinder was the word "aspirin," and immediately Kingsley started laughing.

He couldn't believe that in such a situation, the only thing he could think of that could save him came from a game. Of course, there was a real-life drug named aspirin, but that one could never be as effective as this one. The aspirin he was talking about came from an open-world game and was a cheat that could heal you no matter what happened, just as long as you had even a little bit of health remaining.

...

Name: Aspirin

Description: An all-healing elixir that can heal anything from decapitation to death as long as the individual has even a little bit of life left in them. It has an instantaneous effect and no limitations as to how many times it can be used. It is known to bring its users back to optimum health.

Pain Nullification: It also comes with the extra ability to completely nullify the user's pain as it heals them.
