Chapter 4
-------------------------------
Moonlight Blacksmith
-------------------------------
(AN: There will be keep changing the point of view from first person to 3rd person POV)
My name is Aswad, 40 year old. But because of my lokk, people tend to call me a kid or boys. Also because of my look, I can't get a girlfriend.
You must be wondering, Why? I don't know when it happen but after my 18th birthday, my face and my look stay the same. When I tried to join my friends on group date, I've been teased by the other party (Women) mostly.
Believe, when I said i'm virgin, I didn't lied to you. Even with my money I have, I can't change my look. Is there anyone want to do surgery to become Old? nope, denied.
With the money I have... Whore can be buy, But for me... I want to lose my 'virginity' to the woman I love. But, all the woman I have interest with, keep rejecting me. Pity me.
Eventually, I didn't bother anymore to find myself a woman. Not because I didn't want to, because I'n tired to chase a woman. I have everythings, but all rejected because of my face.
Hahaha..... I laughing at myself. Funny isn't it? 40 years single life. When I heard [RR Company] a new gaming company introducing to the world a game using a dive system as it platform. Make me want to my new life in this new world.
In the end, I forgot my so called new-life. And trying to become a blacksmith. At least i'm still otaku in my heart. Talk about
blacksmith anime? I can only think one... [Sacred Blacksmith]. Old anime and my favorite blacksmith anime.
Oh well, whatever it is. Right now, I've been playing this DMMO-RPG game called [Legends Online] for about a month after it
official launch. My stat I earn from my chore before been reset.
But I didnt care much of the lose. Because I can start again from a scratch. My master Hefrius, Train me how to use many
weapon to get it mastery. And then helping him repairing all the equipment he on-purposely destroyed? nah.. just keep geting
down it's durability to around 20/xx.
In the morning, I will train my weapon mastery. while in the evening. Hefrius order me to repair all the equipment that been
damage by him. I keep repairing the equipment (Mostly Armor). While in the nigth, my sleeping times. I will logout for an Hour.
Exercise in my personal gym, and eat an Healthy meal. And then return to the game.
My life pretty much have been occupied with these game. After 2 month (In-game time) Training and Repairing the equipment.
Hefrius, told me that tonight will be the starting for me to become a blacksmith.
But why outside? Hefrius dragging me to the Lawn of his hut. And bringing the Anvil and Hammer to the outside. Whoa tonight is

"I see you happy with the class. All right, before you use your skill, you need to learn Basic Skill of Blacksmith. Come here"
Tonight (In game), I was keep all nighter to learn basic skill of blacksmith from Hefrius. He teach me how to smelt the ore, How

understanding of blacksmithing.
And he teach me how make the ore into clean (Pure) from the impurities. He said this skill will not be used when I use Moonlight
Ore, because the ore that been created from Moonlight Ore, Always in Purest Form. So no need to clean the impurities.
After 3 Hour teaching me the skill needed, He said I can keep all nighter to train my skill. Well, without him telling me to, I
already planning to All-nighter to train this moonlight skill. Well before anything else. I rest for 10 Minute and eating heart-

I was grinning when I seen my own status. I felt excited but because of i'm too sleepy. I forgot to close my status and log out,
thus I'm sleeping in the game.
A few hours later, when the sun has start to emerge from the horizon, Hefrius whom already awake, exit the house and found a
young man name Aswad laying around the lawn. With a pile of moonlight ore that can't be put any more in his inventory.
~Hefrius POV~
*Yawn~~*
I awake when, when I heard the usual bird chirping. The usual time I awake. I wonder what happen to the kid. He must be awake
all night because his skill can only be used under moonlight.
Well not always in full moon, he can used moonlight skill by converting his mana to moonlight property. Oh well, he can't yet to
do that because his Moonlight Mastery still low.
Oh well, I will tell him later. After 'cleaning' myself, I exit to outside and seen the Kid was sleeping while holding Moonlight Ore.
If it not because of I already have the ore, I might be steal that ore from him.
Hahaha, how unsightly of me. Stealing the ore from my own desciple. How despicable of me. Hehe I will tell a portion info of his
skill later, when he awake. For now, let's him just sleeping there.
*Swosshh* (Put a blanket on Aswad)
Oh well, he might be awaken if he smell my foods. Gahaha, this kid will never leave a meal when it is the time. Let's just cooking
a feast for his celebration and for me. Hohohoho~~ Finally a desciple that I can pass my legacy.
'Oh God of Blacksmith, Is it okay for me to inherite my skill, my legacy and my wisdom to the boy? Please give me a guidance,
before I made a mistake'
Before cooking the feast, I'm praying to the god after entering my house. Waiting for the answer. A few minutes later, come the
answer I'm waiting for.
'O desciple of mine, your skill is mine. your Legacy is my own. your wisdom coming from me. Are you certain that the child
will not misuse my wisdom?. Are you certain that child can keep it for his own? If you certain for his action, Then you can pass
my wisdom.
Remember, if his act of spilling wisdom of mine to others. You will be forbidden from using 'my' ore. Ever. Remember it well,
before you decide. O Desciple of mine'
Hearing the answer from my god made me hesitate for teaching the boy. Well, I can tell him for keeping this knowledge to secret.
Well, Let's focus the current situation first.
I'm Hungry, Lets cook the meal.
~Hefrius POV~(End)
My nose smell something delicious. Thus make me fully awake when I smell something delicious. I'm also hungry from the all-
nighter. I notice my body was wrop under blanket. Thank you Master Hefrius.
Not going to wait anymore, I just barging toward the kitchen, and seen Master Hefrius currently cook something. On the dining
table already have many different kind of food was served.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Drooling over the food, I want to dig in faster.
*Zap*
Something just passed from my sight.When I turn my head to see what is it, I seen a knife piercing the wood pillar behind me.
*Sweating*
"Uhh.... Master Hefrius, Why did you throw something ngerous like that?" I asked Master, though I knew the answer but still
pretend to be fool.
"Don't play dumb here, young man. Just waiting will ya? This dish will done in a few while. So Don't touch anything... yet. We eat
the meal together. So how about go fetch that drink on that table while waiting?"
Master Hefrius is scary when it come to food-related.
"Yes, sir" I answer while sat on the table and drink the water. Berry Juice (Taste Like a grape juice).
A moment Later, Master Hefrius bringing the newly cooked Meat dish to the table.
"Master, can we eat now?" I asked because I can't wait anymore. I just want to dig in and satisfy my hunger.
"This... Oh well. Let's dig in"
The moment Hefrius said that. both of us Enjoy the dish, the meal and the drink. Though my age was passable to drink, I don't.
Don't wanna to get drunk in the game. Nah, even I said that. I never try to drink champagne or any alcoholic drink.
It is just my tounge can't accept the taste. Blerghhh~~~ No way. I don't want it. When Master Hefrius offer me the ale, I politely
reject it. Coz I don't want to.
Brief moment later after the breakfast, Hefrius called me to the anvil (Outside). When I asked why, he tell me a bit information
about my class. And then he gave me a single book that cover with portion of mithril, and the rest is unknown material to me.
But the book have it's oown presence.
Hefrius told me that read this book the moment I unlock all moonlight skill and Mastered the Moonlight Mastery. He also said,
that from now on I must continue my own training of the blacksmithing. He told me to create my preferrence weapon and armor.
And either me or he will forge it. I told Hefrius he can forge the weapon for me which is I choose the great sword.
And for me, I askedHefrius to let me forge a something and make my preparation while staying here for a few weeks. That Night
I log out, and search blueprint of 'something' on the net.
When I found it, I memorized everything. And then when I remember it, I log in back and founf myself still in the bed. Thus I
awake and then start drawing the blueprint I remember and then using the moonlight ore that left at the ourside for 'that'
blueprint.
Aftee melting a considerable amount of the Moonlight ore, it become a normal Pure Mithril ore, because I smelt it in the morning
without the light of the moon. Now I know why did the skill said 'Forging the ore' under the moonlight. Because with light of the
moon, only it can preserve it's mysteries property.
But because of that, I learn a sub-skill of Smelthing the ore in bunchs. Sub-Skill for a blacksmith not Moonlight Blacksmith. But
can be used to both. The Moonlight Ore becoming [Pure Mithril Ore]. I knew my skill was not enough to forging this Mithrill, if it
under normal blacksmith yes. When I using 'Coated' Moonlight Forge, I can bend the mithril. So I continue to my project.
At first a failure, then I smelt it back to it's former state. Again and Again, after the countless error and failed. Finally I
succeeded on creating the chains I want. The required length and the size of the chain hole. All of it was perfect. And left to
create the ring, the sadle and the tyre.
Well before forging the The tyre, the ring. I need to forge the body first. Thus I spend my time on forging to the shape of the
body that I want. Continue my project to forge the ring and the sadle. As for the tire, the ring for it already done. For the 'soft'
part, I asked Hefrius if he have the soft leather fur in his posession. Strong yet soft.
He said he have it, thus I asked him to give it to me. Of course politely. Because Hefrius wan't to see my creation, He gave it to
me in a bunch. After processing the pelt and made it into leather, the softnest of the Leather was heavenly, So i stack around 5 of
the process leather and sticth it to the shape I want, and then made the ring tyre wore it.
After 2 weeks in-game time, Finally my project was complete. Want to know what is it? It is Bysical. In this medieval fantasy
world, me and me alone riding the bycicle. While other mount the horse. Brilliant, Right?
Hefrius was of course surprise with my invention (In-game only) after I assemble all part, Tadaa~~~ Here we go. A complete
Bysical, fresh from the forge. Lol.
When I ride it around the lawn, Hefrius asked me to draw the blueprint for it. Oh I just gave him my old blueprint that I draw the
moment I log-in after memorizing the blue print in real life.
What surprise me is, an hour after riding the bycicle. My Agility and Dexterity was up by 2. Oh, Grinding stat while travelling.
Sweet....
After completing my preparation, food supplies and so on. Oh before I forget, I made the bysical bound to me. So no one can
ever stole it from me. Hohoho~~ me and me alone. Hefrius gave me a map to the central kingdom. He said, 5 mountain apart and
he said it will take 1 month days of walking. So it will probably be around 1 weeks if I can travel using this bysical.
After said Farewell to Hefrius, I leave the house and found myself in the forest. When I turn back, I no longer seen the hut before.
Oh well, time to test this 'baby'.
After 5 days cycling, I don't know when did i ever gain this skill but it is awesome. Because the skill grant me to Cycling in the air
(Glide).
-------------------------
Wind Road (Passive)
-------------------------
Enable user to walk or riding on the air. But user must use something moving fast or running to produce the wind road.
Mana Cost: none
Important: Must Have Wind Affinity
-------------------------
Surpise at this, am gladly riding through the mountain (descend) from it while using the [Wind Road]. After passing the fifth
mountain, I can see the City. Human City. So far my traveling didn't encounter any monster, maybe because I'm riding this baby
in top-speed that I can manage.
5km from the city, I see many player hunting the rabbit, the wolf, and the foxs from a far. While riding bycicle to the city.
Everyone stop their activity when myself enter their sight. Hohoho~ From creating this Bycicle giving me a 500 fame.
Fame is the hardest thing to gain, except from discovering new dungeon or city. It is really hard to increase your fame. My very
first objective when I want to learn Blacksmith. Weapon or armor is the last objective. I wonder if I can create Motor-bike here
(Second Objective).
When I arrive at the gate, the guard was watching me in awe. Riding a something that move forward like horse. This Bycicle have
one problem, that is... it possess no break. I'm dead serious, no break. When I descend the mountain before I have Wind Road
skill, I'm pretty much let the gravity do the work and it's speed was uncontrollable. That earn me a thousand crush to the trees,
stones, sometime i'm stumble upon the big branch of the fallen tree and made me 'Flying' from my bike.
The guard asked me to write my name and payed a silver for the fees. Thank goodness that hefrius gave me the coins. If not,
maybe I can't enter the city. When I ride in the city, everyone watching me in awe. Especially NPC, because they never see this
bike. They only knew Horse and Wagon mean for the transportaion or travel.
When I stop my bike in front of Blacksmith shop, I was crowded by user. They asking me where the hell did I have this. Before
that, I save the bycicle inside my inventory. And told them, I created it. And then enter the blacksmith shop.
You cannot enter the NPC shop if you making a ruckus like right now in front of Blacksmith shop was packed with user and made
a noise from the outside after I'm enter the shop. I don't know who is he, the bulging and muscular man step aside from his anvil
and goes to outside to the crowded and yell.
"IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS HERE, GET LOST"
Then the muscular man enter and asked me what is my business. I asked the Blacksmith if his skill is already in Afvance lv5.
(Quick Info: NPC in Legends Online Know about Level, Status, skill, and skill level.)
"Why do you ask, Lad?" the muscular man asked me suspiciously.
"Hmm... The matter concern it...." After pause for a while I continue "..... a secret"
Thus made blacksmith felt anger rose from his face, but only for a moment. Moment later, his anger subsided. And then the
muscular man told the other young blacksmith, his desciple maybe? told them to wait at the outside. And then lock the shop
from within and bring me to his 'office'.
And when he asked again what so secret... I show him a single piece of the moonlight ore. His eyes was flash with surprising
look.
"Is that what I think it was?" asked the muscular man.
"I think so. Why?"
"Where did you find it, I thought it was no longer and cease to exist." said the muscular man.
"Maybe..." I said nonchalantly because I can earn a gew thousand gold. Maybe?.
"My name is Graak, Blacksmith." He suddenly introduce himself.
"Aswad, the foreigner" I also introduce myself. Basic courtesy when someone introduce him/her self by introduce yourself in
reply.
"I will not asked where did you get this, but what is the business you have with me?" He asked me.
"Well, I just thinking about selling this Ore to you. Wanna buy it?" I smile at him while speaking "selling".
"Sorry, Lad. It is impossible. Even with my entire fortune was not enough to buy that ore." Graak shook his head
"I see... How about I selling it to you ten thousand for each ore?"
The moment I said the price, he asked me in surprise "Are you serious?"
"Dead serious." I replied. Because currently I didn't have any gold to spare my travel. Because I'm going to spend my time inside
the library to increase my int and wis. for that I need the money to keep alive. Meal and Inn not free liao.
"Your Not going to take back your word right?" He asked for the confirmation.
"Yes, In return I want you to forging something for me."
"Deal, How many ''that' ore you have?"
"around ten pieces. want to buy all of em?" I lied about the quantity, because In my inventory this ore was stack in 999. the other
10 was left over that I can;t put inside inventory and put it inside my bag.
"Not all. I will buy 5 pieces only. Coz my fortune wasn't nearly enought to buy all of em with your price. Let me tell you, those
ore, can be sold for a millions gold for a single ore you know? I told you this because I didn't want to cheat you. After all, I;
going to make it for my heirloom for the next generation. hahaha" Graak said proudly. He wan't to left it a symbol, a legacy of
him by making something from moonlight ore.
Not that I care much because, I only need the gold for living and staying in the city. Don't fret over the gold will be stolen. If
someone save the gold inside Inventory, it cannot be stole. After it reach it's maximum limit for storing the gold which is
currently (1 Million Gold). the remaining can be save inside the pouch or the bag. Because of that, thief activity was hardly can be
used in the city.
They only can steal something that not inside the inventory. After made the transaction with Graak. He passed to me 50K gold
and I save it on the inventory and then gave him 5 pieces moonlight ore.
"Let's proceed to next deal. What is it you want me to forge?" Graak asked.
"I want you to forge me a full-set armor with these." I gave him a 50 pieces of Pure Mithril Ore that I smelt it before. Left over
from the creating bycicle.
"Full-set armor can't be done with this much. you chose, This much I can only forge you a single armor, or pair of gauntlet and
pair of boots. your choice"
"How about pair of gauntlet and a weapon?" I asked Graak.
"Can be done. But what type of weapon you need?"
"A sword, high-attack and can be used by any-class same goes for the gauntlet. Stat requirment can be work on. so no worries."
"Okay" I'm trying to do something I never done. Let's save it for later. After I done with the business. Graak told me that come
back later in a week (In game time). So I have myself for 1 day 7 hour in real life before I can retrieve the equipment.
So I decide to spend my entire week game time inside the library.
