Chapter 5: Joy of Death

Third person POV on Earth

"Sir, I have an urgent report!" the secretary of defense ran into the president's office without even knocking. "What is it? It must be important if you forgot basic manners."

"I'm sorry sir but I just found out he's dead!" the president didn't ask who he meant because he knew there could only be one person whose death would be this important. "Are you sure? Do we have body? I don't want a repeat of last time."

"Yes sir, we have the body and we have matched blood type, fingerprints, dental records, and DNA. Its him sir!" the president started laughing and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. "This calls for a celebration, tell me, who killed him? They deserve a medal."

"Actually sir, he died in a car crash when another man, who was texting and driving ran a red light and hit his car. He was dead on impact." the president laughed even louder this time. "You're telling me, that the person who didn't die when 8 different countries sent their best soldiers, has just died in a random accident? This is freaking hilarious. I'll have to set up a meeting with the other leaders, get me the VP and I wanna see his body." the president drank his glass after sitting down. The secreatry left to inforn the VP that the president wants to see him and to make arrangments to have the body brought over.

"Finally, the grim reaper is dead." the now alone president monologued.

Alex's POV

After levaing the guild I made my way over to a blacksmith shop I saw yesterday. I didn't go in yesterday so I hope the guy in here isn't annoying.

I walked through the door creating a ring sound from the bell on the door. I walked up to the counter and waited for somebody to come out.

"Hey! Anybody in here!" I yelled to the back after getting tired of waiting. "I'm comin, hold yer damn horses." came a shout back.

A few seconds later a dwarf came from the back. He looked really strong and manly with his braided beard and ripped muscles. "What do ya want?" he seemed annoyed that I'm here, no wonder he doesnt have any customers in here.

"I wanna sell some weapons and then have a special one made btu I don't know if you can handle it." I smirked. If I learned anything from fantasy novels and anime then I know dwarfs are a proud race and insulting their smithing ability will light a fire under their ass. "You think I can't handle it?! Who do ya think You're talking to lad!? This Brakku the strong can make any weapon as long as he has the materials. Tell me what kind of weapon do ya want!?" it seems so have worked rather well, but now I need to calm him down a little.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"Alright I believe you, let me sell these weapons first though." I dropped all of the goblins' weapons on his counter causing quite a few to spill over on both sides. "Holy shit! There's gotta be atleast 2000 of 'em!" he seemed a bit surprised at the amount but I'm sure he's seen more. "I killed a few goblins and took these off them. How much can I get for them?"

"I'll have to look through and appraise each one so its gonna take some time, can ya put 'em back in yer magic space thing and drop them in my workshop?" I nodded and made the weapons disappear, he motioned for me to follow.

"Alright just drop 'em over there and then tell me about the weapon ya want." he motioned to a corner before heading over to a work bench and waiting for my description.

"I wand 2 bracers with blades on the underside that can extend out at my will and retract back just the same." I described the assassin's blade from a famous game franchise that I lovd playing when I got the chance. I had something similar in my last life although they weren't exactly right, they were still my favorite weapons.

"What material do ya want the blade made out of?" he asked me but I'd rather he decide the materials. "You choose the materials for all of it, whatever you think would work best."

"This is gonna end up kinds pricey ya know? Even after taking out what those weapons are worth it would still cost ya a gold coin or maybe even a bit more." its a good thing I just made 4 gold coins. "That's fine, don't worry about the price. I'll definitely pay you no matter what the total comes to."

"Alright then come back in a week and I'll have them ready." I nodde and started walking out. Just before I made it out of the building he said one more thing. "A word of advice kid, be careful how you rile people up, certain dwarfs would have killed you just for saying they couldn't handle making the weapon you want." oh that's interesting.

"Don't worry old man, I would never pick a fight I can't win." I walked out after getting the last word.

----------------------------------------

Brakku POV

Damn brats. I'll make the best bracers to ever exist in this world. Lets see here. I'll use blue steel for the blade and then use leather and some steel for the bracer. He wanted it hidden so it can't be too heavy.

This is an interesting design though, I wonder how he thought of it. He didn't even react when I said somebody might kill him. Also what does that mean. "I would never pick a fight I can't win." just because ya can win doesn't mean ya can't loose.

Fucking brats. I hate them. Atleast he gave me something interesting to make, I was gettin bored outta my mind just making fucking swords and spears for the government. Why the hell do they need so many in the first place? Whatever, they'll have to wait, gotta make these bracers first.

----------------------------------------

Alex POV

I like that old man. I think he'll do a good job on the hidden blades. Now time to get married to a vampire. Yea I'm gonna accept her offer, the advantages are pretty good and if anything happens I'll incase her in eternal ice. Just kidding, I don't know how to create eternal ice yet.
