Chapter 14: Nightmare

[Ding]

[Congratulations you have unlocked the system…]

"Aaaahhhhhhh!!!"

I screamed when I was finally able to open my eyes, I was disconcerted for a moment, but I was able to calm down when I realized that it was just a dream and when I saw the rays of the sun coming out of the small window. I try to remember what I dreamed, but doing so gives me goosebumps.

"Liam, are you okay?" I saw my goddess open the door and enter my room with a look of extreme concern.

"I'm fine," I said a little embarrassed when I found out that the others could hear my scream

"You're not okay!" My goddess yelled at me as she approached my bed.

I sighed and said "Abeona nothing serious happened, I just had a little nightmare"

She seemed to calm down and sat down on the bed next to me "Liam, we are very worried about your situation, you should take a break, almost every day you spend in the dungeon from morning until nightfall and if you are not in the dungeon, you are practicing with your skills, you shouldn't overexert yourself and you also need to take a break" She started stroking my head next to my wings which made me

"Okay," I said with some resignation, but it's better to agree with her for now so as not to worry her.

"One week"

"Eh?"

"You will not enter the dungeon for a week"

"Bu…but a week is a long time" a week is enough to raise points in all my stats.

"No objections," She told me with a firm look and that she did not want no for an answer

"It's too much time!"

Liam...

"Okay…okay…" I can't refuse when I see her act so serious and full of concern.

"What's going on?" I saw Adeona peeking through the door.

My goddess began to explain what just happened. While I was just thinking about what I should do without going to the dungeon.

I've gotten very used to killing free time by going to the dungeon, whether I'm alone or with other familia members. I can't imagine anything else that would serve to pass the time productively.

Maybe I should rent a forge, I've already been killing monsters in the dungeon for a week without rest to get the drops to test my skill.

I sighed before getting off the bed.

"Where are you going?" The goddesses asked me at the same time, it seems that Abeona already finished explaining to her.

"I won't go to the dungeon, don't worry," I said before going down the stairs when I crossed through the door before opening a portal and when I crossed it I was in front of the bathroom door

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

After I finished cleaning up and having breakfast, I left the house, as soon as I finished saying goodbye to the familia.

My skill works based on my knowledge and experience, but I don't have either, should I find a master to teach me how to forge?

I don't think anyone teaches me for free, maybe I should become self-taught. But I will waste a lot of time doing trial and error. As I walked I didn't realize that I had already reached the guild. I am so used to coming to this place because almost every day I come here and I feel that it is natural to come to this place.

Without much thought, I entered the guild and saw some adventurers being attended by the receptionists. I went directly to the counter where Alya was and spoke to her.

"Alya, good morning" She was surprised to see me, although I don't blame her, after all, I rarely come at this hour.

"Liam, what a surprise, usually you'd already be running to the dungeon and coming back at nightfall covered in monster blood."

I got a little embarrassed about that and tried to refute her "I don't always come back covered in blood"

She raised an eyebrow and said "Are you talking about when your familia accompanies you? That they always arrive exhausted and breathless, while you have your hands covered in blood, along with your knives worn and dull by the large number of monsters you kill."

I didn't know how to refute what she was saying and every time she spoke I felt an arrow pierce my fragile heart, but still, she was really ruthless and continued speaking.

"You know, for a few months there have been some strange rumors." I frowned a bit wondering what the rumors have to do with me.

"The rumors are about a madman who has always been seen wearing hooded clothing, although they haven't seen his wisdom up close.

But the reason why it attracts attention is that they say that such a madman runs through the first four upper floors, covered in blue light slashing the necks of the monsters he comes across before using a clean slash to rip out their magic stones and run off towards the next monster."

I got a little nervous and started scratching my hair and said "You're right what kind of crazy would do something like that"

She just glared at me for a moment and didn't pursue the subject further.

"Well, going back to where we were, why did you come so early?"

I breathed a sigh of relief before asking with a smile, "Can't I come to visit my favorite adviser from the adventurer's guild?"

"Flattery will get you nowhere"

"I'm not flattering you, I'm just telling the truth because you're one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen, you're someone…" Before I could continue I saw her frown so I think it was better to stop joking.

"I need your advice"

She sighed and led me into one of the secluded rooms.

When we walk in we sit in the same locations we usually do.

"Well, what do you want me to advise you on?"

"The thing is, I'm forbidden to go to the dungeon for a week." She suddenly made a relieved face when she heard that she was forbidden to go to the dungeon.

"So I need to get a hobby because I feel very restless when I'm free and have nothing to do. So I decided to learn blacksmithing because it's involved with the skill I recently acquired."

"Huh? Did you get a skill?" She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and seemed happy to hear that I got a new ability.

"I knew you could pull it off. Congratulations!" I felt a little embarrassed to see how excited she was but calmed down when she calmed down a bit.

When she calmed down a bit I could see that her cheeks had a little blush, but she pretended that nothing happened and kept talking. "Then. You need my advice on finding someone willing to teach you blacksmithing."

I actually wanted her to recommend me books on the basics of being a blacksmith, but I don't dare to tell her, she was wrong, and just nodded my head.

"I think finding someone willing to teach you can be quite difficult," she said as she placed her index finger in front of her chin just below her lips.

"On the one hand, there are blacksmiths who would be willing to teach you at a very cheap price. But those kinds of blacksmiths are the ones who have to sell their pride because they are not very good at their job or don't have a very good reputation, on the other hand, if you want Being taught by someone with recognized skills will be very expensive because they can make hundreds of thousands of valis or more by selling their products and they would also have no need to teach someone who could become a competitor unless they have some fondness for said person. So what kind of teacher are you looking for?" She asked me that question at the end of her explanation.

I was silent for a moment, before coming to a conclusion. "I want to know where I can find the cheapest teachers that can be found." She was a bit surprised by my answer. But she still told me where I have to look.
