Reincarnated as the Only Human

Watching as the sand melted into the glass again, I prepared myself by closing my eyes and concentrating on my mana, getting it pulled inwards towards my lungs as I prepared to breath life into this glass and make the perfect bottle for what I wanted, and just like with the previous one I wanted to start at the simple designs I had in mind for general wines.

What I considered simple was just a spherical bottom with a tapered neck or a long cylindrical bottle that was rather uniform in appearance; those were both pretty standard wine bottle types, weren’t they?

I would want to mass produce those two types of bottles since I could fill them with pretty much anything and give them any kind of general label too, so they would definitely be rather cheap to mass produce via the system.

Just glass, paper, an adhesive of some kind and then some wax for the bottle itself, and since I could also mass produce basic wine too I could fill it right away, which if I could start doing it like I do with water...

I could take a barrel of water and manage to somehow extract multiple barrels of water, so I was wondering if I could get something similar going with the wine or if my System took the two differing liquids and weighed their values differently, therefor weighing the ability to bend the laws of reality differently as well..?

After all, water doesn’t sound that valuable to those of us in Birchan, but in the desert to the north water would likely sell for higher than wine would to most people, and the desire to have more water would be higher than somewhere like here, where water is abundant.

I’m getting off track though, so I refocused on filling my lungs with mana before grabbing the blowpipe and placing it into the molten glass blob inside of the crucible, resuming my glassblowing adventures but with a twist now that I had another idea I wanted to try out.

Bringing the pipe to my lips again, I pulled the mana from my lungs and breathed it out down into the molten glass, filling the malleable sphere with my mana and pushing it outwards before maintaining its spherical shape, creating a completely round, smooth ball of glass that was perfectly shaped for holding wine and storing it on someone’s shelf or in a cabinet.

The threads of mana remained connected to my lips as I continued to blow steadily into the glass, gradually increasing the size of the bottle and getting it to where I wanted it to be before using another thread of mana from the outside to cut off the molten glass and separate the pipe from the bottle.

Wrapping it up with my threads, I did some last moment adjustments to it before placing it into the kiln as well, letting it gradually cool down beside my other bottle as I got started on the third basic bottle, which would be the tall cylinder type that everyone knew and loved.

Repeating the same actions as before, I gradually shaped the glass using my mana infused breath before cutting the glass and placing it into the kiln, where I then waited for them all to be ready to be taken out into the open air to cool down completely and turn into the clear glass that I could touch without risking burns.

When it was all finished, I had three different bottles in front of me, with the one I had shaped myself being rather... obviously inferior to the other two, but that was just proof of growth and a way to show that I had indeed figured out a great way to do this, and honestly... it was apparently really simple and easy to do, and I think anyone could do it so long as they understood how to control their magic.

”This is certainly... something I can work with. Though now I want to try something else... but do I have time..?”

Going back to the door, I peeked outside and looked towards the stairs, listening intently for any sounds to inform me of what they were doing above me, but I couldn’t really tell... though when I felt someone grab my shoulder I nearly screamed as I leapt into the air.

Snickering at my reaction, Sari slid on into the room and hugged me to calm me down, the Catkin chortling as she said ”Wow~! I didn’t know you were that~ jumpy Astra~! They sent me down to check on you for now; Renna was going to, but Aka’s keeping her rather occupied... and hey~! I think you’ve spent a good~ amount of time with her and Shelur! Feeling a little forgotten over here...”

The Catkin spanked me and let me go as she sauntered into the room, her eyes roaming around before landing on the bottles as she asked ”I didn’t want to interrupt so I was waiting outside; never thought I’d scare you that badly though~! That’s good to know for the future...” which made me glare at her as she smirked at me.

Ignoring that, Sari just picked up one of the bottles and appraised it, the Catkin nodding to herself as she said ”These’ll do good on a shelf, Astra. Just need to figure out how to make- never mind, you’ll somehow mass produce these by the end of tonight, right?”

”Mhm~!”

I proudly stared at my Catkin wife before blushing as she walked over to me and placed her hand on my head, ruffling my hair as she leaned forwards and whispered ”Good girl~! Now... why don’t you take a quick little break and show me your glassblowing skills, hm~? I got something you can blow...”

Pushing down on my head a bit, Sari smirked at me as she watched me get down on my knees before I unbuckled her pants, pulling out her hard cock and nuzzling against it as she leaned against one of the tables inside of the room.
