My Favorite Game Followed Me!

Anton took out a wooden board of air conditioner and the metal sculpture of a wizard that he enchanted with the Frozen Orb spell to function as an air conditioner. He also took out a Lantern of Fire Bolt and the rough wooden cup of cold water.

“These are the enchanted items that I have created so far and my family is planning to sell these,” Anton told Eric the carpenter.

He then turned on the wooden board of air conditioner as well as the metal sculpture.

“The main purpose of the wooden board of air conditioner is to lower the temperature of a room to a comfortable level even during the height of summer so even though it’s very hot, it will be cool and comfortable inside your room or home,” Anton said.

He also pointed at the switch to turn on the enchantment and the indicator of how much mana was left in the mana storage. He also included the details on how long a full mana storage capacity would last and how many times the enchanted item could be used.

“As you can see, I can put the enchantment on other items aside from a wooden board but what we want is something that is aesthetically pleasing so we can sell them at a higher price but at the same time, the items could be made easily. What I require is for a carpenter or an artist such as yourself to design and produce items that I can put my enchantment into that would be pleasing to the eye, but at the same time and easy and cheap to make.”

“I can do this!” Eric said excitedly.

“Can you start as soon as possible? Possibly tomorrow or the day after we will be transferring from here to a Manor that we purchase. If you’re hired by me, you have the option of living with us or staying where you’re currently living but you will have to go to our Manor every day to create the items. Is that acceptable to you?”

“I’m currently living with my uncle and I don’t want to bother their family anymore so I would prefer living where I will be working,” Eric the carpenter said.

“Before I can hire you, I will need you to design the items first on paper so I can check them out. I advise that you create several designs for each enchanted item so I can select the best one then once I select your design, you will need to create them. After checking if your wooden sculptures are up to standard, then I’ll hire you. Once I confirm your status as an employee, my father or his secretary will talk to you about your compenben.”

“Compenben?” Eric asked.

“Oh, sorry. Your compensation and benefits like your monthly salary, bonuses, health and dental insurance, and day off,” Anton said but he was half-joking since those terms were from his old world.

Eric the carpenter just nodded even though Anton knew that the man probably didn’t understand half of what he said. He then gave the carpenter a notebook and a pen that the man could use to design the items.

“You can stay here to complete the design or you can finish them anywhere as long as you show them to me before dinner later,” Anton said.

The carpenter then said that he would stay here to complete the design project. Anton told Eric that if he needed to talk to him, he had to tell his assistant Colin who was waiting by the side. The carpenter slash designer nodded then went to a corner table and chair to start working.

After Anton’s talk with Eric, he went back inside his room and entered the game. He went directly outside the Rogue Encampment to continue researching the different types of enchanted items that he could make. He was still inspired due to the browsing that he did in the magic shop that they went to.

He thought of the next projects that would make and then thought of copying the teleportation box but looking at the severe complexity of the mana structure of the Teleport spell, he shelved that project at the back since Anton knew that he would need more experience in enchanting items before he attempted such complex creations. It was the same thing for using the Telekinesis spell to create a hoverboard or a board that could assist people in carrying heavy stuff or even floating carriages.

Anton then thought of the talismans that he saw in the shop and thought about creating them. The talisman felt a little incongruous to him since those types of magic items were supposed to be part of Eastern culture so finding them in a Western-style location was a bit confusing and he just thought that maybe it was from the East and was just copied by the wizards here but then again, he kept telling himself that he shouldn’t assume since this world, again, was not his old world but a totally different one.

But instead of starting the talisman project, Anton researched creating an enchanted stove instead since it would be easier for him because it was just a variation of the wooden board of water heater. This time he knew he couldn’t use wood as the base material for the enchanted stove but metal and thankfully there were some metal boards in his inventory.

After three hours of experimenting and trial and error, he successfully created his enchanted stove. He knew that the item would be easier to make since again, he already made one just like it which was the water heater.

The water heater’s base spell that he used was a minute spell structure of Fire Wall and Blaze spell and it was the same thing with the stove but with a bigger and more complex spell structure. The stove had six heat settings so after testing it out for an hour, it was working perfectly well but he would need to ask someone to bring it to the kitchen for further testing.

Anton then thought of creating a heater-type enchanted item but honestly, the stove could function as a room heater as well so they could just sell it as a stove slash room heater. What he was proud of was creating an isolated spell structure in the metal board wherein the only part that would heat up was the area indicated which meant that if the user touched the part where the spell structure wasn’t located, they wouldn’t get burned. He would need to make sure that the stove designer creates some sort of indicator or groove that would indicate which part of the board would heat up.

The stove could still cause fire accidents though since if an item like a cloth or a piece of paper was put on the part where it is supposed to heat up, a fire would still start. Anton thought of creating a restriction wherein only metal would heat up but based on trial and error, the spell structure to create something like that would be incredibly complex and would take a lot more space than the board had and Anton didn’t want to spend an ungodly amount of time just to create a single stove.

Anton then thought of starting the spell structure and mana pathway printing press item that would allow him to create enchanted items faster but when he checked the time it was already late so he decided to exit the game to join his family for dinner and check Eric’s designs.
