Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 946: A Crafting God

****

It had been over a month since Karyk woke up on this godforsaken island. In the last one month, he had finished searching the entire Island. At first, he was worried that there might be strange beasts on the Island just like they were in the sea. Fortunately, there was no other life form on this island. It was as if no living being had ever stepped on this island in the past.

The island was left completely untouched. Despite that, the Island was perfectly suitable for a human to live in. There was a forest here with many trees that had fruits. Although these fruits weren't seen in other worlds, a few of them were still edible. There was also a clear water pond in the middle of the forest. If it was earth, it was an Island that could have easily been turned into a perfect tourist destination. Thanks to this place, Karyk was not starving at least. He was able to eat as well as gather some fruits so he wouldn't have to enter the forest again and again. After gathering fruit or water, he waited near the shore for the Whale to return. Time kept trickling away. Soon, days turned into weeks. And now it has been an entire month. There were no signs of the Whale. "It seems I truly have been abandoned. That whale is not returning. I would need to find a solution on my own. I need to leave this place."

Karyk gave up on waiting for the Whale to return. Instead, he started preparing to leave this island himself. He could not swim so far. So he needed a boat. Fortunately, there was no lack of wood in this place. There were also many vines to be used as rope. It was the first time Karyk had been building a boat as in the past he never needed one. Before the destruction of this world, there were many modern ships if one wanted to travel over the sea. After the destruction, the era of demigods arrived and he was able to use magic to travel. He also learned to fly with time, so no sea could stop him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He could also use teleportation in the past. Hence, he never needed to learn how to make a boat in the most ancient manner. He had a rough idea about what he had to do. First, he checked various species of trees on this island to find out the least dense trees. Then he tested those trees by dragging them to the sea to check how suitable they were. Only after finding a suitable tree, he started cutting the tree to create a boat that wasn't large enough to just carry him, but also to carry some fruits for him to eat on the way. It was a journey that was said to last for a year, but it was better than wasting that same year on this island. "Even if I ate in moderation, I would still need a lot of fruits on the journey. The boat needs to be bigger."

Every day, he worked from morning to night, without a break. Even cutting a single tree was taking a long time, as he had to do it like an ordinary person. After two weeks, he finally had enough trees and wines to craft his boat. He had also gathered a lot of fruits and discovered a method to purify the sea water, thanks to a very unique plant species that worked like a filter. With that, the need for carrying water was over. He could purify the sea water on the journey. One more week passed completing the final process and giving it finishing touches. All that was left was to check if this thing was actually going to float as he had assumed. Karyk placed all the fruits in a specific section of the boat to protect them on the journey, before he removed the last bit of sand with his hand, allowing the sand to be cut with sea. Sea water rushed on the Island through the canal he had dug. It came with high pressure and carried the boat with it into the sea. Karyk ran after the boat and jumped over it, right before it entered the sea. "Huh?"

The boat had just entered the sea when he saw a tide rising in the distance. The level of water started rising and his boat came sliding back on the Island with the water, only to be stopped on the sand. "What is that thing?" As the water slid down, Karyk noticed the giant whale in the distance. It looked a little bigger, but it was certainly the same one he had seen in the past. "It doesn't matter. Mother has agreed to meet you. You can come with me."

Hearing this whale, Karyk's lips twitched. What did he work so hard for? What was all this effort for? Couldn't this whale have come a few weeks earlier? He was happy that he at least had an opportunity to travel faster, but it still left a bad taste in his mouth. "No point crying over spilled milk." He sighed. Even if some of his efforts were wasted, but it didn't matter. If he could save a few months in the long run it was worth it. Moreover, this time, he could also meet the mother of this whale, who sounded like a prominent force in the sea. If he could get her on his side, it could help him learn a lot of things about this world and those so called Children of Heaven. He was sure that there was no such thing as a child of heaven. It was someone playing a trick with the natives of this world. But it didn't matter. If they could come to this world, that meant they also had a way to leave this world. That was all that mattered and nothing else. He didn't care who was fooled here. All he cared about was a method to leave.
