...I guess it doesn''t matter that I don''t understand. Time won''t stop for me. It''s already been two weeks, based on Person Slamming Me Into Something, or PSMIS, Calender. I''ve been repaired a few times and upgraded, too. This person must be pretty sentimental with their hammer...How could I tell? Notifications. And the pain of being smashed with another hammer. I''m now at a sharpness of... sorry, a Durability of:

My trait also changed from Copper Body to Iron body. I can now get rusted more easily. Yay.
Then, I leveled up. Twice. This is how my status looks now.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.I just have to accept thatI am a hammer. With the gender Hammer.
I''ve been wondering about that, though. Gender: Hammer. Is that because of the 21st century? We did have a lot of "toasters".
...Whatever.
I guess I should try activating "Mana Sense" now. I wonder what it will be like?
I prepared myself for the chanting of the... Ummm... Spell? What exactlyis"Mana Sense" classified as?
Wait, it was a magic skill. That''s it. Slowly opening my non-existent mouth, I muster up the words for the chant from my memory.

I have no idea how to activate this shit!!!
Why was I given a skill I don''t know how to use!?!?
*Sigh*
Maybe "Smash" would be easier. Yeah, i''ll try that! Usually in the stories it''s just a chant for physical skills, so i''ll try that!
''Smash!''

WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?
I JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING!! THIS SHIT IS REALLY FUCKING BORING!! TWO WEEKS!! TWO WEEKS OF NOTHING BUT DARKNESS AND PAIN!!! I''VE TRIED USING BOTH THESE SKILLS FOR TWO WEEKS, WITH NO FUCKING PROGRESS!!!
...Does this mean, it''s all just a figment of my imagination? A way to cope with all my current problems in life?
...
Something I wake up from that haunts me with every passing day?

Nah, it couldn''t be! I know for sure that i''m not crazy! Am I? Yeah, i''m perfectly sane! If I wasn''t, I probably would''ve recieved a notification by now.
...Right?
Maybe I should try a differrent way of activating the Mana Sense skill. It can''t be imossible, since I have mana.
Come to think of it, I never tried checkingthe description of things like what happened with... The Virgin title.
Guess i''ll try it now.
Uh... Open...Describe... View?

That''s nice to know. So, how do I use Mana?
Maybe, it''s like some sort of Ki, or Ether. Maybe even the Mana found in common fantasy novels.
First, i''ll try Ki. So, this has a lot to do with things like meridi... Well, that option was eliminated.
What about Ether? Ether is usually only found in the atmosphere, so... since I have my own Mana Pool, that can''t be it.
I won''t try the last option yet, since that''s too generic.
Let''s see... some people just have some sort of psychic... eliminated. Once again, Mana.
I... give up. I have pretty bad memory. Might as well try generic Mana usage. Search inside myself, blah, blah, blah. Some weird thing near the heart, or in the kidney, or in the pit of your stomach, or the core of your being.
Nothing. I found nothing! Not even the generic Mana usage works!!
How do I use Mana!?

At least I know how to use Mana now. Well, by my power, I half heartedly will you to move outside of my bod... vessel in the maximum possible radius, Mana. Now, for the last part since mana is already "infused throughout my vessel".
