Chapter 19: The Bashing Hammer
The rising sun cast long shadows as a carriage, resplendent in its red and white livery, with gleaming polished wood and a small, curtained window, moved through Viridia's main road. Inside, Dean White, the nobleman who ruled their town, sat ramrod straight, his expression unreadable. Two powerful horses, their coats gleaming, pulled the carriage, flanked by guards whose impassive faces reflected years of service. The market, usually a cacophony of sounds and activity, fell strangely silent as the carriage approached. A hush descended, broken only by the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves and the hushed whispers of the onlookers. "It's Lord Dean White," someone breathed, the words spreading like wildfire. "He's back." Some faces registered surprise, a mixture of awe and apprehension. Others, however, tightened with barely concealed anger. "He's back," they thought, the resentment palpable. Though often absent at the kingdom, Lord Dean White's rule over Veridia was absolute. His infrequent v
Chapter 18: Finally An F-Rank
His eyes fluttered open, the first thing he saw being the familiar ceiling of his room. He attempted to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, a protest from his overworked muscles. Using his arms for leverage, he slowly pushed himself upright. His muscles were stiff, protesting with a dull ache, but strangely, the pain felt… good. A testament to the effort he'd exerted. He wondered, amidst the lingering exhaustion, if all that grueling training had at least earned him a level up. Then, the cruel reality of the system's 25% experience reduction hit him.He muttered the command to check his status, and the familiar menu shimmered into existence before his eyes:SPECIES: HumanNAME: Tyler EvansRANK: G LVL: 7CLASS: CraftsmanHP: 43/43 MP: 39/39STR: 30 AGI: 24 DEF: 45STATUS: Slight ExhaustionSkills: Armour Craft, Weapon CraftA surprised gasp escaped his lips. He stared at the screen, his eyes lingering on "LVL: 7". That meant... he'd leveled up. Three times. "Wait," he b
Chapter 17: Level Up
Near the edge of town, a substantial building stood, its sturdy frame a blend of dark-stained wood and red brick, the whole structure freshly painted in a crisp white and deep maroon that contrasted sharply. Inside, the Hunter's Guild hummed with a controlled energy. Hunters, some weary, some eager, occupied tables scattered across the large hall; the air thrummed with the low murmur of conversation and the clinking of tankards. Behind long, polished wooden counters, Guild staff moved with practiced efficiency, attending to the various needs of the hunters. One hunter in particular commanded attention. Clad in polished black plate armor, the metal gleaming faintly under the hall's dim lighting, he sat alone at a table near the back. The armor itself was intricately detailed, with a fearsome dragon's head, jaws agape in a silent snarl, emblazoned across his chest and back. A simple, yet clearly visible, D-rank necklace hung around his neck. His dark black hair, pulled back in a tight b
chapter 16: A Step Forward
Grone was heading towards the base's tent, carrying the shadow claw hides. Completing this delivery was crucial for finishing his C-Rank mission. As he walked, he ran into Gary. Gary looked Grone up and down, a mocking expression on his face. "Huh," he said, "to think you'd actually be a C-Rank.""Get out of my way, Gary," Grone said, "I'm not in the mood to talk to you today."Gary smirked, raising his hands in mock surrender as Grone tried to pass. But as Grone went by, Gary snatched one of the shadow claw hides from his grasp."Shadow Claws," Gary said, holding up the hide. "There's no way you actually beat the Shadow Claws. And man, these are huge! Level 30, I'm thinking. A weak old man like you beat them? Tell me the truth. That necklace you're wearing... you're not really a C-Rank, are you?"Grone let the remaining shadow claw hides drop to the ground with a thud. He lunged for the hide Gary held, attempting to snatch it back. Gary easily sidestepped, dodging Grone's grab. Grone
Chapter 15: A Sword And A Way Home
Hector Dry used Skill: Reinforcement. The system immediately displayed a text box above him. The sword in his hand instantly began to darken, a black wave spreading from the hilt to the tip. A sharp, metallic scent filled the air. Hector Dry looked at Tyler, a strange glint in his eyes. "And that, kid," he said, tossing the sword to Tyler, "Is how you make a sword."Tyler caught the weapon. "You see that whetstone?" Hector Dry asked, pointing to a white stone on the floor. "I need you to grind this until it's razor sharp. The edges are sharp, but they're still blunt. Sharpen both sides—it's double-edged."Tyler examined the sword, his amazement palpable. The silver blade felt intensely warm, almost hot, yet it hadn't burned his hands. Now, as Hector had used his reinforcement skill to change its color, it was black. Hefting it by the hilt, he moved toward the whetstone. Suddenly, a jolt of electricity surged through him, blue sparks erupting from his hands like miniature lightning str
Chapter 14: The Blacksmith
Three days had passed since the A-rank hunter had left Tyler a broken mess. He sat in a rough-hewn wooden tub, the warm water doing little to soothe the lingering aches. The memory of his declaration to Grone—his desperate wish to become a hunter—still echoed in his mind. Lisa, Grone's wife, had vehemently opposed the idea, citing the inherent dangers of the profession. She'd voiced the same concerns when Grone himself had aspired to be a hunter, but Grone, it seemed, had no choice. Grone, though sympathetic, echoed his wife's concerns. "You don't have to be a hunter, Tyler," he said, his voice firm but gentle. "You're weak now. With your current rank—and hunters are ranked E to D and below—it'll be incredibly difficult." He paused, considering. "There are other jobs you could do." The following day, Grone outlined some options: working on a farm, selling goods in the marketplace.Grone mentioned another option. "I have a friend, a blacksmith. He crafts weapons, and could use an extra
