Ask for the Abyssal Alloy
Dolgomi will surely like that.
You walked closer to the Legends and the blacksmith, as you were searching for the Abyssal Alloy ingot in your bag. You haven't found it that you were already in front of the three of them. Seeing you struggle to find something in your backpack, Dolgomi asked :
"Whaddya want, lil one ? Seems like you're having trouble finding somethin'."
You didn't answer for now, a bit more focused on finding the elusive ingot, that you eventually found anyway, pulling the silvery ingot out of your bag before showing it to the dwarf, as you said :
"I've got this from an... Acquaintance, and I have been thinking about making a kind of sword with it, but I don't have the knowledge for that. Do you think you can help ?"
Seeing the ingot, the two Legends froze, perfectly understanding who this "acquaintance" was, as they looked at it, while Dolgomi's eyes widened, both in shock and in amazement, as he exclaimed, loud enough to even surprise Rei and Douma in the opposite corner, checking out some exotics armors :
"That's Abyssal Alloy ! Where'd ya find that, lil one ? It's incredibly rare ! I haven't even got the chance to forge something out of that myself ! You'd really let me do that for ya ?"
"Lady Kogai told me about your expertise, so I'm willing to let you forge me a weapon with it, but I actually don't know what kind of weapon suits me well..." You answer.
"If that's all of your concerns, I can help you with that, Adam." Says Lady Kogai, as she stared you up and down, before already adding. "You don't look like one to use staffs nor bows, so that's already settled. Come with me, Dolgomi has a training ground behind his shop where you can try different kinds of weapons."
You could see the multiple benefits coming from you agreeing to follow her, as she disappeared behind the door in the back of the shop, which you thought was private, but since Dolgomi didn't say anything about it, you could only guess that the Legends have a different status from any customer in this shop. It didn't take long for Kogai to come out of the backroom, carrying a lot of different weapons, from swords to spears and even including maces or more specialized weaponry, like a katana or two shortswords linked together by a chain, but you didn't know the name of that weapon.
She just motionned you to follow her as she got to you, before walking out of the shop, obviously with you quickly following her, being yourself followed by Rei and Douma, both curious as to what was happening right now, since they didn't hear the short conversation you had with Kogai and Dolgomi, then by Lady Melda and finally Dolgomi himself.
When all of you finally made your way to the training ground behind Dolgomi's shop, which was a big space, with all kinds of targets, dummies, and other things to train, Kogai disposed all of the weapons she carried on the ground, telling you :
"You can start by whatever weapon you want, it doesn't make a difference, since I will need you to try all of them to see which one will be your favorite one."
You nodded, before walking to the weapons laid on the ground, stopping right before them as you looked at them, inspecting all of them to find one that caught your interest, which ended up being a war hammer, that you thought was way too heavy for you to even lift, but you had to try it anyway so you grabbed it, before, surprisingly, lifting it with ease, as if it was as light as a feather.
You knew your body became stronger when you first woke up in this world, since you didn't remember having all of these muscles before waking up in Eovotis, but at this instant, you really felt like your body changed to adapt to this world as much as possible, to give you the largest amount of possibilities to choose from.
You then looked at Kogai, who simply walked to the center of the training ground, before saying :
"Now, you'll attack me with it once or twice, to see if it fits you. Don't worry about me though, I have an ability to regenerate, so any wound you could possibly inflict me will quickly heal."
She answered your question before you could even ask it, and so you took a deep breath, before getting closer to Kogai, finally trying to strike her with the war hammer, starting a long and intense session to try and find the weapon that would suit you best.
For three hours after that, you tried every single weapon Kogai brought with herself, picking one up at random then trying to land a blow on Lady Kogai, before giving your impressions on the weapon, putting it down and repeating the cycle, until there was no more weapons to try.
Finally, it all came down to five different weapons that you felt they handled a lot better than the others : a dagger, a sword (a katana works too for you, as you don't really see a difference between that and a plain sword), a londsword, a spear (a naginata works too for you, for the same reason as the katana) and finally a labris. These five weapons felt very good in your hands, but after trying them again, you felt like the sword was the best of them. It seemed far more versatile than any other weapon, plus you could still use a dagger if anything, like the one that was at your belt.
When you finally choosed the weapon you preferred, you turned to Kogai before saying :
"I think I will use a sword from now on."
That's one thing settled

Coming To An Unknown World
Or how to NOT behave after waking up in another world
After waking up with an hazy mind in the middle of what doesn't seem like home, but you're not sure since you don't remember anything about what's your home, you start a quest to try and go back from where you came, potentially changing your mind and/or saving this world in the meantime... But hey, at least you can encounter girls and create an harem while doing this, so you won't have to only fight for your life and to understand why you appeared here in the first place.
