"Yes." The moment I said that it felt like I took an iron fist to the gut for a split second. I started sweating then slowly regained my composure. So that's what it's like to have almost all your Mp drained away. Let's refrain from letting it get completely drained.
"Hey pocket dimension can you make me something like a silver katana?"
"That is possible and would only cost 2 MP, would you like to do so?"
"Yes please, and also place it in my infinite storage as well if possible."
"Orders have been confirmed, the silver katana has been placed in the infinite storage." I think I should explore the forest while I wait. I exited the pocket dimension and arrived back into the forest. I took out the silver katana from the infinite storage and examined it closely.
[Appraisal Level 1 has been learned!]
Hold up, is it really that simple to learn a skill as important as appraisal? Not that I'm complaining. Alright let's use it.
Silver Katana Of Nightmare:
Increases Strength and Agility by 1/4th of a rank.
"A silver katana created by Nemesis Nightmare."
Not bad, not bad at all. Although the description is a bit blunt but whatever, this will do. It's time to hunt. I started to slowly walk in the forest towards the west and after about 15 minutes I encountered a large rat.
Dire Rat
Level 3
HP G-
MP G-
The rat looks injured and it is currently eating its prey. This is my chance to take out my first enemy. I slowly inched towards the rat, pulled out my katana, and slashed at its neck. The dire rat's neck came clean off, and at the same time.

Title:
[Clan Master]
The realization washed over me like a wave, though perhaps I should have seen it coming. Still, the sight before me was astonishing. With a sigh, I made my way to the storage and tossed the dead rat in, hoping it would come in handy later on. Focusing back on my journey, I headed west for about ten minutes until I stumbled upon a tree bursting with ripe fruit. My stomach rumbled ferociously, as if preparing for an imminent hunt. But first, I needed to appraise these fruits before indulging in them.
Podo fruit
"Delicious fruit that is normally a delicacy and extremely hard to find. Just one would be enough to fill the average person."
My luck stat may not be just for show, for there was an entire tree of these wondrous fruits before me. I marveled at the intricate branches and lush green leaves that adorned it, each fruit seemingly pulsating with its own unique energy. With determination, I reached out and plucked one of the podo fruits from its perch, bringing it to my lips in anticipation.
The first bite sent a rush of flavors bursting onto my tongue, as if a symphony of tastes had exploded in my mouth. Unable to resist, I quickly gathered 20 more fruits before retreating into the sanctuary of my pocket dimension. The soft grass cushioned my body as I drifted off into a peaceful nap, only to be roused by a gentle yet insistent ringing in my ear.
"Lord Nemesis, Elaine Nightmare will be created in two minutes." The words echoed through my mind as I rose from the ground, anticipation and excitement coursing through me. I stood still for the two minute wait, my eyes fixed on the spot where Elaine would materialize. As the time ticked by, a dark blue light began to surround the area in front of me, crackling with power and potential. Then, with a burst of blinding light, she appeared.
After everything calmed down and the light faded away, I could see her clearly before me. "Greetings my lord Nemesis," she said, her voice strong and confident.
"I am the first of your subordinates to be created and I am honored to be in your presence." She bent one knee and lowered her head in a show of respect.
"Rise, so that I may see you clearly," I commanded in a clear and serious tone. As she straightened up, her features came into focus. She stood at five feet and five inches tall, with luscious royal blue hair cascading down her back. Her skin was a bright white, almost glowing in the dim light of our realm. Hazel eyes sparkled with intelligence and determination, reflecting my own image back at me. She was well developed in all the right areas. She wore simple leather clothes that were likely obtained from this world.
But before we could proceed further, I needed to see her status. It was time to truly gauge her strength and potential. With a flick of my wrist, her status was revealed and I couldn't help but smile at what I saw. Elaine Nightmare was going to be a valuable companion.

Inherent skill:
[No Level Limit]
Skills:
[Cooking Lv5] [Dagger Art Lv1]
"I'm sorry but what?!" I inadvertently said that out loud after gazing at the extra addition to what was supposed to just be one thing.
"Is there something I did wrong Lord Nemesis?" Elaine said with a worried face.
"No, I'm just wondering why you have skills aside from the inherent skill and why your cooking skill is Lv5."
"That would be simple to explain, when I was being created I was implanted with information on the cooking methods from your previous world. For [Dagger Art] that would be a free random skill, since you created a new race." She explained that with a bright smile on her face.
"Hey Pocket Dimension, is it possible to bestow skills to my subordinates after creation?" I asked that full of expectations.
" It is currently possible to grant one additional skill to subordinates after creation with the current level."
"Then Elaine I will grant you the [Growth skill].]
"My lord, are you sure you want to use your precious power to grant me a new skill when I have yet to achieve anything?" Elaine said this as she tilted her head.
"Yes I will grant you this because it will help you grow that much faster to be more useful to me."
"I don't deserve such a skill my lord, but I will work hard to meet your expectations." She said this as she bowed her head.
"Granting Elaine Nightmare the skill [Growth x4]. 35MP will be consumed." After the robotic voice said that, a dark blue light flew from me to Elaine for a few seconds and then finished.
"My lord this is a request from me but would you be willing to accept please?" Before I could ask what it was a screen popped up in front of me.
