A lot of time was spent walking to the blacksmith's house.
While I was making my way there I could not help but think,
'When you need monsters to attack you, where are they?!? At this rate, I will fall behind all the other players...'
Though I have high stats compared to normal players, soon or later they would be able to surpass me.
Who knows? Maybe someone already has stats compared to mine at this stage of the game.
While thinking useless things I finally arrived in front of the door of the blacksmith's house.
When I was about to knock on the door, it instantly opened revealing the bored face of the blacksmith which quickly changed to one of curious when he looked at me.
''Oh missy, do you need something else to finish the quest?'' he said while looking reluctant as if afraid I would take all of his things.
Without minding the expressions on his face I calmly said, ''No, sir, I have already finished the quest.''
When I finished talking he looked at me in shock for a while before excitedly continuing, ''Oh!! You got me by surprise missy! To think you already found what I asked you to!''
''No, I was just lucky enough to find it''
''Haha, then If you were just lucky then I could rest at easy'' he said before continuing laughing as if afraid someone would not hear him.
But there was something I didn't know at that time.
When I said I was just lucky, I saved my life.
After laughing for a while, his demeanor suddenly changed a bit before continuing with a slight smile on his face, receiving the signal I gave him the herb he was searching for,
''Missy, I really have to thank you for finding this. In the future, if you need help with something just find me and I will do my very best to help you, you should also have this,'' after saying that he gave me a leather book and a coin which instantly dissolved after I touched it.

Shocked at the rewards and the quest difficulty, I quickly turned my eyes towards the blacksmith and just then did I notice that he was not there anymore.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
'He was just standing in front of me!' and a few minutes later I remembered the contents of the reward ''Cultivation manual''
I did not have to be a genius to know that this quest had something to do with cultivation.
Without distracting myself anymore, I slowly entered the blacksmith's house, well... former.
When I was finally inside I noticed the differences, this room was filled with scrap metal no matter where I looked when I first came, but, now the floor is completely empty just as if this house was never used
Let's think about it, the rewards only mentioned the workshop and not the house, so why am I even able to enter here?
While thinking that I came upon a door which I curiously opened only to see the equipment used to forge.
Anvils, metals, weapon's molds, hammers, and various tools.
After checking all the tools, I remembered the basement that had all those weapons and I instantly headed towards it and when I finally arrived I saw the door but, it was locked.
When I touched the door, I felt a slight shake before I saw a notification in the corner of my eyes
Minor curse applied (10 seconds)

I quickly took back my hand while slightly sweating,
After all, a normal player would have died in a question of seconds.
While thinking about that I returned to the main room in order to retrieve all the rewards
After taking out the cultivation manual I saw another notification appear:
