I was at a loss for a few seconds looking at the materials arranged around me because I didn't know where to begin.

Although basic alchemy knowledge provided me with the steps to create a rune, it did not specify which step to begin with.

It's similar to how a painter knows the steps to making a good drawing, but each painter must decide where to begin.

It's similar to how each cook prepares the same food differently.

The comparison with rune making is similar.

There were already steps to making a rune in front of me, but it was still up to me where to begin.

I could choose to begin by processing the materials, or I could begin by visualising the rune I want to create.

It still ended with what I'll start with in the end.

After a few seconds of deliberation, I decided to begin with visualising the rune.

According to the information I gleaned from my basic alchemy knowledge, this was the 'easiest' step in rune making, but since it was my first time doing this, I wondered how true this was.

With this in mind, I sat on the chair beside me before dragging it to the table containing the plain scrolls, charcoal pen, brush, and knife, and without hesitation, I took one of the plain scrolls from the pile and held the charcoal pen in my right hand.

After that, I began to consider which rune to draw from the numerous basic runes listed in the rune ascept in my basic alchemy knowledge.

There were two kinds of runes: active runes and passive runes.

The active rune required a specific action to be activated, whereas the passive rune required a condition to remain active, and it can sometimes remain active without a condition or a specific action.

And I had each of these two's runes recorded.

After a few seconds of deliberation, I chose one of the simple ones listed in the basic alchemy knowledge, the absorb rune, which was a rune of the general neutral magic system.

Although I stated that the various rune systems of the modern world differed from those of the magical world, what I really meant was that the use of the modern world's runic system differed from those of the magical world.

The modern runic system was more of a collection of different arranged languages, whereas the magical runic system was more of a collection of different types of runes.

​ It was quite perplexing for me at first because it was such a jumbled mess, but after some thought and searching for more information in my basic alchemy knowledge, I began to understand what was going on.

The modern world's rune system was more like ancient English, Latin, and Greek, whereas the magical world's rune system was more like ancient English and new world English.

They are two different things, but they are also the same thing because they can be mixed, unlike the modern rune system, and honestly, even after understanding it to this point, I was still perplexed.

So, after a while of struggling to understand it clearly, I gave up and simply left it to time.

But, in any case, the first rune I was going to choose was the 'Absorb' rune, which was part of the general neutral magic system.

I was also a little taken back when I came across neutral magic again in runes but after thinking of the times I've come across it in my head, with Emma and with Chris sword, It didn't affect me that much again.

The amazing thing about runes, I suppose, is that they had nothing to do with one's element.

And as for why it's called general, I'm not sure, so I'll leave that to time.

With this in mind, and after deciding which rune to begin with, I finally got to work.

Runes are ancient letters, and inscriptions are magically infused letters that combine to form the rune.

The rune letter is also the rune word.

It's something like a cycle.

I had to map out the inscriptions to begin sketching a rune, and the inscriptions required for the 'Absorb' rune are only there.

'Ah', 'Soh', 'Bb'.

It was only these three, and the reason I said map out the inscriptions is because after engraving these three inscriptions, I had to link them together again to form the rune.

The three inscriptions each meant something different.

The 'Ah' meant 'Take In'.

The 'Soh' meant 'Absorb'.

The 'Bb' meant 'Return'.

When placed together, this was the result; Take in, absorb, return.

Take in, absorb and return.

These three runes came together to form the 'Absorb' rune, but first I had to connect these three inscriptions.

But this step was also dependent on the object I was supposed to make, and I already knew what that object was: a bone dagger.

A half-meter bone dagger, to be exact.

The material for the back bone dagger was already in my possession; the corpse had simply not been processed yet.

With this in mind, I created a small but detailed model of the bone dagger I envisioned.

I was quite skilled at drawing, so the image of the bone dagger I was creating was neat and detailed.

It would have been better if I hadn't been using an unfamiliar charcoal pen.

Because of this and a few other factors, I ended up using a fair amount of the plain scroll for the bone dagger model I created.

I drew the front and back surfaces of the dagger, and while it took up a significant amount of space on the plain scroll, it was still sufficient for the tasks at hand.

As I considered these things, I finally decided to tackle the main issue, which was to map out everything.

This step was usually left up to the rune maker.

According to basic alchemy knowledge, some would prefer to start engraving the rune only after the materials have been processed after visualizing the rune they want in their head, whereas others prefer to sketch everything down to the teeth as a step-by-step guide for their rune making.

I'm not sure which part is best for me, but I decided to start by mapping everything out now so that I can follow it later.

It's essentially the same thing I've decided to do from the start.

With this in mind, I followed the basic alchemy knowledge in my head about mapping out my runes and found the assistance I needed a few seconds later.

I had to start with the rune lines to map out the Inscriptions on the object I wanted to engrave the rune on.

Rune lines are basically thin lines that act as pathways to connect and link the inscriptions together to form a rune in the end, and looking at the different styles of rune lines listed in my head that still depended on the rune maker's choice, I decided to just go with the flow and choose the rune lines I wanted before starting my journey to mapping out my inscriptions and linking them together by starting from the tip of my bone dagger model.

Using a particular rune line whose starting line started directly from the tip of my bone dagger, I further increased my concentration on what I was doing since this was quite a very important step in rune making.

Rune lines were quite short, so they had different types and styles, and it was up to the rune maker to choose which rune lines would link up together. This step was made more difficult by the fact that I had to fill the majority of my bone dagger body with rune lines and ensure they were properly linked.

It should be noted that I was performing this step on both the front and back surfaces of the bone dagger.

Aside from that, I had to map out the inscriptions on the bone dagger and make sure they were linked to rune lines so they could be linked later.

I hadn't even gotten to the real deal and I was already sweating with this method as I tried to make sure I didn't make any mistakes, but in the end, I wasn't God and I wasn't perfect, so I failed in this step and ruined everything because I accidentally used a rune line that couldn't connect with the previous rune lines I had mapped out, so I had to start from the beginning again.

Despite the fact that I failed and that rune making was proving to be more difficult than I had anticipated, I became more interested in it as I strangely felt at ease.

'Haha'

I had no idea when this happened or how to do it again, but after a short laugh and a smile, only one thought entered my mind.

'This world is truly better,' I thought as the feeling I had only a second ago vanished, which was not surprising because I expected it to, but while that died, my interest in what I was doing grew even stronger.

I returned to what I was doing by starting from the beginning again after touching the necklace on my neck and repositioning it because it felt quite uncomfortable with the sweat on my neck.
