Hikari “Yumi he is doing it. He is trying to find a way”
Yumi “ yeah i can see Hikari”
Hikari “maybe he will be able to set us free”
Yumi”Maybe”
Ryujin “ can the two of you stop talking i am trying to read”
Hikari/Yumi”sorry master we will be silent.”
Ryujin was trying to find a way to break a grand curse.
It has been two since he began but he only read two book and was at half the other one.
Up until now he found that there is two sort of grand curse.
The first one is a world wide grand curse it affect every living being. There was only one of this sort ever recorded. It was made by the demon king that tried to invade the human world. It was made for weakening the human and made them sick. But it backfired at him the sickness was in the air and the demon having no immunity to disease all died the demon was in shame and when he came back he was sealed.
The second is about sealing soul to something it can be made by using the life of the user or sacrifice ten other soul. The effect depend on the user corruption to be a grand curse it had to be made by a man who made a great sin.
The first one is stopped when the caster is sealed.
But the second one you had to destroy the object with a holy magic or item.
That is where it get tricky he can't just destroy the sword so he continued reading hopping of a way to do it.
After the fifth day he found that the sealed soul must be surrounded by a sealing.
It mean that the sheath is the seal but he had to find a way to break it. Unfortunately he had to go see the blacksmith to learn the craft.
So he goes to the blacksmith
Ryujin “ hi master Eran i am here to become your apprentice”
Eran “ good. Now kid for today you just have to help me in the forge and look at me. This will help you understand the work”
Ryujin “yes master”
Ryujin began helping him. He had to go and find the good ore and then give it his master. At the beginning he was scolded quite a bit because he didn't bring the good metal but over the time he learned how to find the good one they all had different colour, texture or weight after a while he got a skill.
Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:ore finder(passive)novice10%with experience you can see the difference in the ore and know the quality of the ore.
Ore now have a different glow the stronger the glow is the better it is
+2 strength
+2 vitality
after he learned the skill his master made him pump a big bellows it was hard at the beginning but he had quite some strength. After a while he could watch his master craft. He then understood that being a blacksmith was no easy task. His master was making a katana and he had to heat, hammer, cut the metal in two, put one on the other and reheat and he had done so 8 time.
It took him two hours(i know it take way longer but this is a game so i made it shorter)
Eran “ this is a low quality blade but it is good enough for any beginner”
Ryujin shivered he knew the meaning of hard work but for a low quality sword to take two hours. He didn't want to think about a high quality sword.
After some time he began to understand a little on how blacksmith work. He was now doing various task around the shop. He was giving the ore to his master, pump the bellows and place the swords in the shop. One day passed fast. He was resting for the night. He was lucky he had to do 15h of work a day. It let him have just enough time to eat and sleep in real life.
The next day he began to learn the craft
“make a sword and come to show it to me after that i will check it and we will begin the training after i see what you are able to”
Ryujin began to make a sword. He thought about making a normal sword but he decided on a katana.
He began to pump the bellows, heat the metal and fold it. every time he knocked the sword with his hammer his hand made him suffer and his strike was imprecise sometime he put too much power. After two hour it began to look like a sword and he began to feel the soul of the sword it guided him saying him what to do, how to do it and when. Ryujin was focusing on the sword doing everything it told him at the best of his ability when he finished the sword he got a notification

Ryujin was happy with his work he go see his master.
Eran check the sword and say
Eran”sorry my boy there is nothing i can teach you”
Ryujin was mad he just took four hours to make a sword and he was rejected
Ryujin “ what do you mean you can't teach me i put my hearth into this sword how the f**k is it not good enough” was what he was thinking
but he was a man that would do anything to reach his objective.
Ryujin “ but master i tried my best. I know it is not a good sword but it was my first blade i promise i will do better next time”
Eran “ no it is not you. It's me, i am far from good enough to teach you. You have an amazing potential and only the best can teach to the best”
Ryujin “ but you are already one of the best blacksmith surely there is no one better than you to teach me”
Eran “ it is true that i am the best blacksmith alive but i heard about a book of a blacksmith with the same ability as you. Even dead i am sure he is more qualified than me to teach you.
The book is in a cavern with dangerous monster but it is better to wait until then to craft.
And you can keep the sword with you it will help you in your travel.”
quest: book of soul craftingmaster blacksmith Eran talked about a book of soul crafting that is in a cave. The cave have various king from monster race even if they are low level they are still dangerous
quest difficulty: c
Restriction
must have soul talk
must learn soul crafting
condition to fail
the book is destroyed

Ryujin “i understand master i will find the book “
quest accepted
Eran “ goodbye boy and be safe”
He put learning blacksmithing for later for later he then go back to the library
he read for four day straight and finish to read the ten book and found only about the thing that can break the seal. The seal is like corrupted soul chaining the other soul to himself. During this time his hunger resistance leveled up
hunger resistance is now intermediate
hunger go down 6% slower
take 6% less damage from hunger
After some time he decided to try something he never did. He took the two sword by their sheath
and heard a dark voice.
Dark “hi boy i was wondering how long it would take you to talk to me”
Ryujin “ who are you?”
Dark “ i am their father and i could help you destroy the curse”
Ryujin” go on i am listening”
Ryujin didn't trust him but he was the best lead he had
Dark” to destroy their curse you have to take them to the monster king cave during a full moon at the end of the cave their is an alter you just have to put them there and the curse will break”
Ryujin” thank you for this information”
quest update: grand curse of light and darknessyou found a way to destroy the curse go to the monster king's cave and place the two sword on the Altair during the full moon
it was the best bet he had and the monster king's cave is the objective of his blacksmith quest as well.
But he know enough about dark power to know that it grow stronger during a full moon.
He was not a naive little boy.
He left the library after nine days of reading he got fifty-four point to intellect and wisdom.
*i think i am the strongest level 1 ever. The stronger i am now the better for later *
Ryujin “so girls are you ready to leave your curse?”
Yumi/Hikari “ we are going now?”
Ryujin “yes”
Yumi” don't you think you are a little low level to go there?”
Ryujin “ i just have to level up there so it's ok”
after buying bread and some potion he had no money left
*45 silver for a potion this is a rip-off i am going to complain to the admin all my hard work for nothing. Just wait and see you scam of a npc i will make my own potion you won't get any money from me *
he was a man who loved money from the bottom of his hearth but it was more efficient to buy them than to die.
He began to travel. He was running quite fast as he was accustomed with running in rough terrain in was walk in the park for him. After running for two day without stopping he take a break to eat. What surprised him was his stamina it was still at 1/6 of the maximum he had.
* the god must have blessed me to think that i can run two day without being even tired *
after another two day he was near the cave where he see an oversized rabbit with a horn on his head and a silver wolf.
* they are level 15 and 30 and they look quite strong i wonder if i will succeed *
he equip his only sword he have and check around the entrance of the cave. The hole was in a mountain
and it was quite high too. That is when he though about a strategy. If you could call it that.
He began to climb the mountain up to the entrance of the cave and he jump before the two monster unsheathing is sword surprising them. The rabbit without thinking charged his horn first but Ryujin already anticipated this he side step and let his sword cut in the leg of the rabbit. The rabbit seeing his movement tried to stop but because of his leg he couldn't stop and fall from the mountain. The wolf waited at the good time and jumped directly on him trying to bite from the side. That is when he lift his sword and put it in between them toward his left eye the wolf in the air then twisted his head evading a mortal hit. The wolf continued his attack even with the big cut on his back he still try to bite him.
But Ryujin was already in the air he jumped when the wolf let his head down and in one strike, pierce the throat of the wolf it was a deadly hit. a deadly hit is made when a user strike a zone weak enough to kill the target in one shot it is eight time the normal damage sometime it doesn't kill but it is extremely effective. Ryujin jump off the wolf thinking him dead but the wolf in is last spark of life lift his paw and cut Ryujin in a flash. After that the wolf died. Ryujin was surprised he didn't think it would attack and let his guard down and now he lost 2/5 of his life even if it was a weak hit he nearly killed him.
You have killed rabbit king
you level up
you level up
you have killed wolf king
you level up
you level up
he leveled up eleven time
*wow so much experience *
he immediately picked up every japtem the wolf dropped and put it in his inventory.
It was a high quality fur and some high grade meat
originally the king mob move in pack so it is much harder to kill them than one on one even now it was supposed to be two on one so it was normal to receive this much experience. And due to his years of training he was able to strike at deadly spot making the kill even easier. But to him the monster was weak so he thought he received too much but he reasoned himself by saying they were boss mob.
He immediately put is stat he decided to go with a 2strength 2agility 1vitality pattern
he rest until his life refill itself. He equip is composite iron sword.
and then he go explore the dungeon
you are the first one to discover this dungeon
for the next week exp and drop rate are doubled
every boss monster killed this week will drop his best item
first monster killed will drop his best item
when he read the notification he immediately began to run
he had to clear the dungeon in one week.
But after only ten second he stopped running before was a scorpion as big as him he couldn't believe it. For a wolf this size was around normal but a scorpion with venom this big is bad news.
The scorpion didn't lose a moment and attacked with it's stinger barely evading it Ryujin jump back and following the scorpion tail he run toward him slashing him on his head. To is surprise it's head was as hard as a rock. It gave a recoil stunning Ryujin for a second that is when the scorpion attacked with his stinger again .
you have been poisoned you will lose 20 health every five second for ten minute.
he ignored the message and blocked the pincer coming at him with one sword and with the other one he cut it. It was still on but the cut was deep the scorpion couldn't use it anymore. Ryujin evaded the stinger and made a series of strike on the head on the scorpion always aiming a the same place. A tiny crack opened on the head of the scorpion. It was so small it was nearly visible. But Ryujin was dancing between the last pincer and the stinger of the scorpion focused on that tiny crack. The scorpion was still at 1/3 of his life but he only had 1/5 left.
That is when he remembered his ultimate skill
“nightmare rain”
a powerful combo began raining down at the scorpion every strike was faster and stronger than the last one. It was so fast the scorpion didn't even have the time to react. After the tenth hit, the scorpion head opened in two and stopped moving.
Concentrated assault is now intermediate

he gained another 8 level
he then collected every japtem. He had is priority right. money first life second.
He collected poison in a bottle and some piece of the scorpion armour. He nearly missed a ring that had fallen in a crack but he was very thorough in his search. he inspected the ring.
scorpio king's ringType:ringDurability:50 / 50Quality:uncommona ring dropped by the scorpion king
+30% resistance to poison
+5 defense
Ryujin immediately took one of his potion and he was back at full life the poison was still effective for three minute. His life was still falling until it was at half and then he started recovering.
He put his stat just like before. he always do it before leveling because every level it take his vitality and put it to his health. The faster he put them the better. After that he equip the ring
“this opponent was strong and it was at level 45 i should be more cautious. for now i will be more silent”
he began walking and inspecting every tunnel some where blocked path but he continued.
There was one path that had flint stone at the end. He took his sword and knocked on the stone
Iron” hey there watch it i am not some pickaxe. Just stop it”
Ryujin “ who do you think created you i know for what you were made and you were made to do what i want to do”
He was a bad master! The sword was brutalized.
*the sooner they learn who is the boss the better *
after collecting some flint stone he stopped. he didn't want to break one of his two sword.
He continued exploring the dungeon after some time he found two goblin together he inspected them.
“ one is the goblin king at level 35 and the other is a hobgoblin king at level 40 “
they were weaker than the scorpion but he will not make a mistake another time.
The two goblin were eating some food and farting like it was nothing they were a low intelligence specie after all.
Seeing the two of them he remembered the flint stone he had.
*this is going to be fun *
he laughed in his head.
The two of them where in face of a fire side by side.
He silently sneaked behind the hob-goblin, prepared his sword and a flint stone and directly when the hob goblin made a gesture to farts he knocked his flint stone against his sword. It immediately took fire
and it returned to the hob-goblin's pants then took on fire. He was burning. In his attempt to put out the fire he rolled on the ground only to go directly in the fire. Ryujin was dying behind trying to not laugh he took out it other sword and cut the head of the goblin who mocked the other with a x slash with both of his sword. After that he looked at the other hob-goblin trying to get out of the fire.
After a while he had fallen dead. Ryujin looked at this bloody scene with the smell of burnt corpse and still laughed. The realism of the scene was enough to make a person look away from disgust.
“HAHAHA ha i can't believe he died because of a fart i am dying!”
Hikari “ master is scary. Yami remember me to not anger him”
Yami “ don't worry Hikari i will remember”
wisdom +1 due to your ingenious tactic
you killed goblin king

he gained another five level. after he calmed down he took some dirt and quickly killed the fire.
He didn't want to damage the japtem.

after putting his stat he equipped the sword and the necklace.
He continue forward. After five minute he found a open space with an Altair in the middle
*it must be the smallest dungeon ever it only took me two hours to come here. *

he is the king of every low level monster. He rest in his cave with monster king protecting him.
* seem like i will have a hard time *
the king was sleeping on his throne. he had three time the amount of the scorpion life. And he was three time bigger than Ryujin
Ryujin slowly sneaked to the king concentrating his ki on his sword when he was to the right of the king he tripled the output of his ki.
He then active his ultimate skill
“ nightmare rain”
he began his combo aiming for all the vital spot due to his sneak attack every it was a critical hit.
Hit after hit the king tried to block them but he was skill in his sleeping state he couldn't do nothing but take every hit. After the last hit Ryujin jumped back just enough to evade the bastard sword of the king who was around the same height as Ryujin. The bastard sword was stuck in the ground, seeing this Ryujin jumped on the sword and run toward the king he jumped on his arm and he was aiming for the throat.
Ryujin had seen this move on a movie so he was sure it was going to work but the king made a unexpected move he released his sword and trowed his arm, making Ryujin fly toward wall.
He made a back flip and put his sword toward the wall he didn't receive any damage but he was stuck on the wall he tried pulling his sword with all his force until they came out making him fall just at the right time to evade the bastard sword cutting the wall where he was a second ago.
He began cutting the knee of the king hit after hit all at the same place after the fifth hit the leg was unusable making Ryujin roll between the leg of the king and cutting behind the other knee. The giant fall to the ground where Ryujin is he try to evade but the body his just too big. He just an inch from escaping when he was hit by the giant's shoulder. It was the first hit he received and he was at 3/5 of his health. The king was at 1/3 the surprise attack at the beginning really hurt him.
The king was on the ground he let his sword on the ground and he began to drag himself on the ground.
When he was near Ryujin he slapped the ground but it was too slow. Ryujin was already running toward his head and when his arm touched the ground he jumped on it running toward his head with both of his sword cutting the giant arm. When he was near the head he jumped and stabbed the back of the giant head. His sword reached the floor under him making it a deadly hit.

Truth “ hey boy i see you can understand me.”
Ryujin “ yes i can. what do you want?”
Truth “ if you are here. I know what you came for and i can help you. You just have to leave all your sword on the ground and come with me outside.”
Ryujin “ just because you are the sword of truth doesn't mean i will trust find better.”
Truth “ hahaha you are funny human you are the second one to not trust me. Not that there were more than two that could hear me.”
Ryujin “ can you stop with the lame joke.”
Truth “ okay okay. Can you blame me it has been a thousand years since the last human came. For something to make you trust me. How about i tell you about your sister?”
Ryujin “ okay stop right there. I understand i will come.”
Ryujin was bright he understood that there was something dangerous here from his word and he din't want it to harm his sister. So he place all his sword behind the throne and get out.
Truth “ you made the good decision. Listen i know you came here for the grand curse and trust me this is a bad place to put a grand curse with such a wicked soul during the full moon.”
Ryujin “ for a sword of truth you don't know much do you i already didn't trust him.”
Truth “ then why are you here?”
Ryujin “it was the only lead i had so i came.”
Truth “ sound like you have something in mind. Okay then let's see how you do human.”
they go back to the cave and he take all of his item. And then he throw the sword of truth in the corner.
Ryujin “ stupid sword thinking about controlling me you should learn your place.”
Trying to look like he is angry he sit on the throne.
Ryujin “ you ready girl the full moon is tonight.”
Hikari “ i can't wait to fight with you master.”
Yumi “ such a great master, doing so much for us.”
they tried to please him. They didn't want to be treated like the other sword.
When a sword said something bad to him he would knock them into the wall until they begged him to stop. His first two sword were nearly broken because of their pride. The one he got from the goblin king was obedient considering him as someone worthy.
The time passed in silence until the night when the moon begun to pass by the hole in the cave Ryujin put the two sword on the Altair. He waited for the light to be directly on the Altair.
When it touched the two sword a dark energy began to get out from the two sword it began to form a manly figure but suddenly it begun to weaken it had a hard time forming himself.
---------------------------------------------------------
father pov's
this boy is talented but he is so naive. He listened to me and put my two girl on the Altair. Tonight is the full moon i can finally be resurrected and i will kill the boy.
The moon light is approaching and when it envelop me i sense power flowing. I try to take the other half of my power from my other girl. I began to take form, finally i will be free. But suddenly the power is weakening i can't fully resurrect then i check the moon.
“ this damn boy tricked me. the full moon is tomorrow. “
i checked the moon nearly filled. It was the last thing i could see. Then everything became black.
-------------------------------------------------------------
when the transformation was nearly completed Ryujin took out his two sword and began running toward the figure and cut his head. He then give a slash to remove the blood from his sword.
Ryujin “ this s**t sealed his two girl and made them suffer for a thousand years only to be resurrected”
and then Ryujin was enveloped by darkness. Suddenly he hear a voice.
??? “ so you finally came to be the king.”
===================================
thanks for reading. How where the fighting scene? I found them a little short but i thought that making them longer would make it lose some spice as they were not really strong.
