MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

Having chucked in a few select pieces into the furnace after deciding what his first item would be, Valyr placed one of the item on the anvil and started hammering it into its desired shape.

'It definitely took a while for me to come to this decision,' thought Valyr to himself, activating [True Prodigious Blacksmith's Sight] in the process.

With [Hunter's Tracking Eyes] still remaining active, the two eye-based skills worked together, allowing Valyr to hammer out the imperfections that arose during the forging process.

'At first, I thought about creating a new blueprint entirely, which is somewhat similar to what I did for the weapons I sold at the auction.'

Nodding in satisfaction as the material had gained a rough form, Valyr placed it back into the furnace to heat up before taking out another to hammer.

'I also thought about making use of the various blueprints the trial had given to me to figure out which items I would forge to complete the trial,' muttered the man inwardly, reminding himself to peruse the blueprints after he was done.

'In the end, I decided to go with neither.'

As these words popped up in his mind, Valyr let out a faint chuckle, recalling the weapon he had forged during the time he had just evolved to a proper blacksmith class.

"After all, I feel like it's more fitting to forge the first item I've put great effort into making as the first item I forge in this trial."

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

With his body continuing to move through the forging process, Valyr began to remember the Fledgling Forgers' Tournament that was held in Danyhris Town.

At that time, the only proper item he had forged was a dagger, which had given him the final requirements needed to ascend to the True Prodigious Blacksmith class.

Nevertheless, with the years of experience he had accumulated in his past life, the young man still participated in the tournament.

Having just registered as a member of the Blacksmith Guild beforehand, Valyr had participated in the tournament and wowed the crowd by keeping up with the other participants that had a greater chance of obtaining the top prize.

Not only that, but he had also forged quite the refined weapon with a unique mechanic attached to it, which was also the reason why he had obtained fifth place at the end of the tournament.

"I definitely shouldn't have held back there," said Valyr to himself, shrugging his shoulders at the thought.

"Then again, that was a time where it was still risky to showcase all of this previous knowledge I have."

"In any case, since I've made up my mind to forge this item…"

"And as a way to make it up for my past self…"

"It's time to forge Red Blossom to the best of my abilities."

…

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

With a general plan of what he was going to do for the second trial laid out in his mind, Valyr proceeded through the steps of making the first item, Red Blossom, with great ease.

Of course, unlike the previous Red Blossom he had forged, he had improved in almost every aspect.

Whether it was his skill in forging, the hammer he used, or the materials that would make up the item itself, all of them were better than the ones he had access to during the tournament.

With that, he zoomed through the entire process, finishing up the parts making up the item within a couple of hours.

Then, in true Valyr fashion, he used both [Hunter's Tracking Eyes] and [True Prodigious Blacksmith's Sight] to remove all of the imperfections he could see on the item.

Ding!

[You have successfully forged the item: Crimson Blossom. Quality has been rated at Exceptional.]

Taking a look at the crimson dagger that laid on the surface of the anvil before him, a satisfied smile crept up onto Valyr's lips as he used his identification skill on the item.

"[Superior Analysis]."

Ding!

[Crimson Blossom] (Level 50)

Rarity: Rare

Attack: 323 - 538 (outer blade) 388 - 646 (inner blade)

Foundation Tier: None

Forge Quality: Exceptional

What was once a piece of equipment taken from fiction and fantasy, the blacksmith that forged this item had brought it to reality and improved upon its original design.

Utilizing greater materials and greater forging techniques, this dagger could be said to be the culmination of the blacksmith's past efforts as its current might is a far cry from what it was in the past.

Nevertheless, it still makes use of the original mechanic as it contains a blade that could only be unsheathed once a well-disguised button at the tip of its handle is pressed.

To honor the first creation, as well as to mark that they have improved, the blacksmith has given this weapon the name Crimson Blossom, knowing fully well of its capabilities of turning the ground crimson.

<Innate Skill 1: Crimson Petal Edge - Allows the user to infuse mana into the weapon, causing the inner blade to appear as it shoots out a red blade of energy. Deals damage equivalent to 200% of the user's Attack stat.

Has a small chance to inflict Bleed on the enemy, reducing the enemy's health by 1% of its max HP per second for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute. Cost: 3,000 MP.>

Remarks: You have undoubtedly made it better. If your past self were to find out about this, they would undoubtedly be jubilant over how far you've come.

Reading through the description of the new and improved dagger he had forged, Valyr felt a bit of wetness welling up around his eyes as he compared the weapon before him to the weapon he had forged in the past.

By the time his eyes had passed through the weapon's remarks, the wetness around his eyes threatened to stream down his face, prompting him to look away at the screen and let out a long sigh.

"I've already gotten this far…" muttered the young man to himself as he placed the dagger to the side.

"Then again, I still have a long way to go."

Looking at the small cache of materials before him, Valyr took out a few of them before proceeding to chuck them into the furnace.

"In any case, that's one item down."

"Now I only have three left to go."
