Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

The days following Riela's awakening passed smoothly. After fully recovering, she divided her focus among three pursuits: perfecting her enchanted embroidery, teaching the women, and practicing magic with Dragun.

Every morning, she woke up very early to work on the enchanted embroidery of the robes in her possession. Then she left the house to teach the women, returning before afternoon, when she would go to meet Dragun for magic training.

The three days after her recovery passed in this manner, but she didn't get tired, even though she naturally could have.

It was as though her awakening had given her some sort of extraordinary endurance that kept her going.

The only time she rested was at night after returning from magic training. Luckily, she had Rowan, who prepared dinner before she arrived, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Rowan was really proud and happy that his wife was engaged in the things she loved.

Nevertheless, just like her, Rowan had also been very busy in the past three days.

The construction of the house was completed yesterday, thanks to the increased effort of the soldiers, and today the people would be moving back into their homes.

Also today, Rowan planned to resume training his men. He intended to distribute the combat skill books he had purchased from D'andre to them so they could begin practice immediately.

Today was also the day Dragun and Vishirk would be leaving the village for the journey they had discussed three days ago. Thus, Rowan would become the sole protector of the village once again, as he used to be.

It was early morning, and Rowan sat on his bed, contemplating everything that would be happening in his village today, and couldn't help but sigh.

He turned to look at Riela, who had just taken her bath and was dressing up to go teach the women as usual.

Riela smiled at Rowan as she walked closer. She climbed onto the bed from the other side, crawled towards him, then sat beside him, grabbing his arm tightly and pressing it against her chest. Rowan could feel the two soft and arousing mounds of flesh against his hand.

With a cute smile, Riela spoke calmly, "Rowan, about those sewing machines, is there any way I can have them now?"

"Hmm, yeah, but why are you asking for them now?"

Rowan recalled they had agreed that he would give her and the women the sewing machines when raw materials were available. He wondered why she was asking now. Could she have gotten her hands on raw materials? he asked himself. If that was the case, he would be really happy, as there would be no need to spend more evolution points purchasing them.

Riela explained the situation to him. She told him she wanted the women to start practicing how to use the sewing machines now so they would be very efficient when raw materials finally arrived. She also informed him that the women had passed all her tests and were fully ready for sewing.

As she explained, Rowan realized his mistake: he had intended to give out the sewing machines when materials were on hand but failed to consider that the women would need to master how to use the sewing machines first.

"Riela, thank you for explaining all this to me," Rowan said sincerely.

"Tell me how many there are so I can start working on the sewing machines. They will be ready tomorrow," he continued.

Riela gave him the information he needed.

She then kissed him and left the room.

After she left, Rowan locked the door, then opened his system and accessed the sewing machine blueprint.

Build Time: 10 Minutes

Automation Feature: Automatically integrates with available resources upon activation. No manual assembly required.

NOTE: This blueprint has 10 available activations

Rowan studied the blueprint and was very happy with the build time, which was twelve times less than that of the windmill.

He was a bit excited with the addition that the machine could be used for shoemaking but he didn't think about it too much.

Without hesitating, he activated the blueprint. After the required evolution points for activation were deducted, Rowan was sent into the crafting space.

He didn't waste time and began making the sewing machines.

"Begin the material identification and accumulation phase," he commanded.

The exact amount of material listed on the blueprint floated up and began swirling around, just like during the crafting of windmill.

Luckily, this one wasn't as big as the windmill, so the wind didn't threaten to send Rowan flying as it had with the windmill.

Ten minutes went by swiftly, and a sewing machine appeared in the air. Rowan stepped closer to examine it. The machine had a sturdy, beautifully intricate wooden frame with an iron foot pedal at the base. The pedal was connected to a series of gears that powered the needle mechanism when pressed by foot.

On top, there was a hand-operated wheel for precise control, allowing the user to guide the fabric smoothly. The combination of foot and hand operation made it both efficient and easy to use.

The sewing machine looked simple yet practical. Rowan could already picture Riela and the women creating beautiful garments with it.

Although it wasn't as sophisticated as the electrical sewing machines used on Earth, it was still more than enough for this world. It would make the women's work easier and more efficient.

"Welp, I am sure Riela would be able to use it perfectly after just a few hours or maybe a day thanks to her improved knowledge of tailoring from the skill book I first gave her," Rowan thought to himself.

He stored the sewing machine he had just made inside his inventory and proceeded to make more of them.

It took him more than seven hours to complete the exact amount he needed.

He wasn't bothered by the fast-passing time, as it wasn't the same as in the real world. By now, only a few seconds would have passed outside.

After Rowan was done making all of them, he stored them in his inventory and exited the crafting space.

He took his bath and left to begin his tasks for the day.
