A legendary bow of Korea.
While crafting it, Hyeon-su wore a bitter smile.
‘The Thousand-Geun Bow literally weighs a thousand geun.’
This story originates from Jeju Island’s legend, mainly dealing with the tale of Daebyeol-wang and Sobyeol-wang.
Unfortunately, despite being a Korean legend, this story isn’t widely known.
And Hyeon-su knew.
‘How could I possibly lift a bow weighing a thousand geun?’
Sometimes legends remain just stories.
The genius blacksmith’s knowledge plants a new concept.
‘Keep the Thousand-Geun Bow as is, but apply the name in a new way.’
The blacksmith’s knowledge dwelling in legend.
‘Increase the weight of enemies struck by arrows from this bow.’
Impossible for others, but not difficult for Hyeon-su to apply.
He had Divine Custom Crafting after all.
And then a notification appeared.
[You are crafting a new form of the Thousand-Geun Bow.]
Yes, a new form.
The interesting fact is that this notification appearing means Ares’s system recognizes it.
‘The existence of the Thousand-Geun Bow.’
Ares is a supercomputer.
A fact all users know.
That’s why it knows what something is even if it doesn’t exist here.
A truly interesting story, and that’s why possibilities are visible.
‘The countless legends and myths in my head.’
The realization of dozens of things playfully created in childhood.
And the completion of those stories’ substance.
[An artifact imbued with Divine Custom Crafting is completed.]
[The experience and knowledge of a blacksmith with Master Craftsman skills have melted in, dramatically increasing the effect application rate.]
[Applying an original format method makes the effect even better.]
[Effect application rate is 99%.]
[It is Unique grade.]
[You have crafted an artifact closest to legend.]
[You have named it Hyeon’s Eleventh Custom Crafted Bow.]
[The God of Blacksmiths title shines brightly.]
[You have chosen to apply the all-stat increase rate from artifact crafting, which can only be activated once per week.]
[You gain 4 to all stats.]
[You gain 50 Dexterity.]
[You gain 100 Fame.]
[Basic Bow Mastery Lv.2 proficiency increases by 78%.]
As always, Hyeon-su carved the character ‘Hyeon’ inside the bow.
On the outside, he branded the Chinese characters for ‘Thousand-Geun Bow’. Then he checked out this legendary bow of our country.

Description: Hyeon’s eleventh custom crafted bow that possesses the power to increase enemies’ weight.
Hyeon-su shuddered. Because of the content in the notification.
‘Applying an original format method made the effect even better.’
In fact, the materials used to craft the Thousand-Geun Bow weren’t particularly special.
They were things hastily purchased using the auction house.
Hyeon-su was certain.
That he could raise Hyeon’s value, which had fallen from second place, with this bow.
[Two artifacts closest to legend meet.]
[Their effects improve by 10% each.]
Whooooosh-
Hyeon-su draws the bowstring of the Thousand-Geun Bow and looks at the werewolf charging at the front.
The werewolf’s advantages are fast speed, incredible bite force, and thick hide.
Even users of the same level find it difficult to penetrate.
That’s why werewolf monsters are notorious for being more troublesome compared to their level.
Hyeon-su already had excellent knowledge of the three stages.
Even with Short Arrows in his possession, he noticed it wouldn’t be easy to hunt these werewolves.
Also, their HP is unreasonably high.
So he had this thought.
‘Do I necessarily have to kill them by slashing or shooting arrows?’
No, there’s no need for that.
‘If they’re fast, just make them unable to run, and if they’re tough, just kill them in a different way.’
Click-
A Short Arrow fitted into the Tonga. Accuracy increased by the steady rise of Bow Mastery.
Thwaaang-
He activates it simultaneously with the shot.
[Time of a Thousand Geun]
[The weight of a thousand geun is applied.]
[The weight of a thousand geun presses down heavily.]
[For 1 minute, all arrows fired will have the weight of a thousand geun applied and will last for 8 seconds.]
The ground where the werewolf pierced by the arrow stands collapses. First, its four legs sink into the earth.
Kwajiiiiik-
Its belly touches the ground.
Kurrrrrrrrrr-
The ground completely caves in, leaving only the werewolf’s head sticking out.
“Krhaaaaaaak!”
The werewolf lets out a pained howl.
Hyeon-su spoke to the viewers.
-What is that bow?
-What the hell is the Thousand Geun Bow?
-Huk…!?
He said he would show them a new strategy.
Hyeon-su had to become a star. It wasn’t the work he wanted.
It was simply necessary work to make Hyeon’s Forge known to the world.
Both Blacksmith Hyeon and Crazy Rookie. Both names needed to be widely known.
That’s why what was needed was one story.
This story would become a tale that would remain at AJ Broadcasting Station for ages, and the plan he made for that purpose finally begins to be realized.
[Current viewers: 122,031.]
In front of 120,000 people watching.
He announces the method.
“I will hunt 13 werewolves.”
-He’s crazy…
-Whoa…
Jwaaaaak-!
A werewolf targeting his right side comes flying.
Pueoeoeoet-!
The moment an arrow pierces the neck of the creature that leaped up.
Kwajaaaaaak-
It crashes into the ground as if carrying a thousand geun weight, raising thick clouds of dust.
There’s no need to use short arrows anymore.
Just an arrow with an ordinary metal fragment attached shoots out continuously.
Puuuk
Kwaaaaang-
Puuuk
Kwaaaaang
Pupupupupuk
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang-!
The werewolves within a 20m radius of Hyeon-su are slammed down and let out pitiful cries.
“Kiiiiiing…!”
The ferocious werewolves’ howling makes the viewers doubt their eyes.
-What exactly am I watching right now…?
And someone. One person among the 120,000 viewers. Perhaps a high ranker from our country. Or maybe just a wealthy person.
Or perhaps someone expecting great things from Hyeon, or someone expecting great things from Crazy Rookie speaks up.
-If we hunt them all, 5 million won donation mission let’s go
Puuuuk-
Kwaaaaang
Puuuuuk
Kwaaaaaang-
Puuuuk
Kwaaaaaang-
Arrows shot without pause slam the creatures into the ground.
Someone noticed one strange thing.
-What? Why are they clustered together?
Right, though Hyeon-su seemed to just shoot randomly, the distance between the werewolves slammed into the ground wasn’t far.
Most of the werewolves were densely packed together.
Just then.
[Time of a Thousand Geun ends.]
The skill’s duration expires. Hyeon-su had hunted two trolls and surprisingly hadn’t shown the Sword King’s swordsmanship.
That power that Lord Vance had taught him.
He had judged that power alone was sufficient.
Why?
‘The second is a stepping stone.’
The third is for the leap.
Kiiiiiing-
-What’s that sound?
-Huh?
An unknown sound captures the viewers’ ears.
The clear ringing that spreads from striking the blade makes them feel good.
However, the effect it causes defies common sense.
Kukwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwak-!
Hyeon-su simply swung once from where he stood.
Dozens of invisible swords slice through the creatures.
Jururururururuk-
Red blood rising over the stones fills the viewers with excitement.
-That’s Crazy Rookie!?
-No! Crazy Rookie + Blacksmith Hyeon!
Right, they believe there are two of them, but Hyeon-su is alone.
Thirteen werewolves cut down in an instant.
All turn to ash and oxidize.
-“I’m the best” has donated 5,000,000 won.
-Good
Right, good.
That word is enough.
No, the viewers felt it was a bit lacking.
-goodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgood
This was spammed.
And Hyeon-su felt thirsty.
There was still something he hadn’t shown.
He wanted to show more about what value this bow had, how amazing it was.
And Hyeon-su had a hunch.
The ridiculous story progression was.
[A new story begins.]
As expected, it meets Hyeon-su’s expectations.
[A fragment of Fenrir, king of the werewolves, descends.]
The real boss of this time attack dungeon that no one knew about.
Even though it’s just a fragment, Fenrir is one of the eight monsters called legendary in Ares.
[Boss monster appears!]
[Those who hunt Fenrir’s fragment will receive rewards.]
[Fenrir’s Fragment Lv.178]
Larger than ordinary werewolves.
About 6 meters tall.
Its massive bulk reminds one of a mountain.
-How do you even kill that…
-Wow, this is so fun… ㅠ
The person who donated 5 million won again speaks.
-If hunt succeeds, I’ll donate 2 million won.
More are added from there.
-If hunt succeeds, I’ll donate 1 million won.
-I’ll also donate 500,000.
-This is fun. 150,000 donation.
-Really fun lol.
Unknown people who had been hiding.
Among them, Blacksmith Rowan was also visible.
Finally, it starts running.
Kwazaaaak-
The ground caves in with each step.
Viewers swallow at that superior sense of speed.
If even one attack is allowed, Crazy Rookie will die.
However, Hyeon-su is calm.
Hoooo-
The breath he exhales dominates the battlefield.
He equips the gauntlet he used in the first stage again.
Click-
He fits a short arrow made of orichalcon into the tonga.
Click-
He draws the bowstring of the legendary bow and aims at it.
Whooooosh-
‘The true nature of this bow is not the thousand-pound time.’
The power Hyeon-su wanted to show.
The real might of this thousand-pound bow.
[Strange Thousand Pounds]
Whiiiiiing-
Seeing the short arrow flying at light speed, Fenrir’s fragment sneers.
It roars.
“Kahahahahaak!”
That roar is fierce as if it will devour that arrow.
Indeed, the arrow entered into its maw.
At that moment.
[The directly hit area becomes ten thousand pounds in weight added to the thousand pounds!]
[Applied for 15 seconds!]
The arrow lodged in its mouth became ten thousand pounds in weight. The head of the charging beast was buried straight into the ground.
Kwaaaaaang-!
The body of Fenrir’s fragment with its head buried in the ground twitches intermittently.
He walks.
Step by step.
Captured in the viewers’ sight.
Now level 80.
No, a user who became level 85 by hunting trolls walks lightly toward Fenrir’s fragment at level 178, twice his level.
Swoosh-
He swaps weapons and draws the greatsword made for the second stage.
-Don’t tell me, he anticipated this situation…?
-Maybe he did?
-Perhaps even making common grade items was all anticipated?
-Build-up…?
Right, all three artifacts that Hyeon-su crafted have their uses.
What is the advantage of a greatsword?
Even if it’s Common Grade, it has the power to cut through something with a single strike.
Swoosh-
Hyeon-su raises the greatsword high.
And with that greatsword gripped in both hands, he brought it down on the neck of the creature that was writhing with its head buried in the ground.
Kwazaaaaaaak-
The creature’s body and head separate.
Thud-
Without a single scratch on him, he watches the Fenrir turn to ash with an indifferent gaze.
Then he turns around and walks away, putting the greatsword into his inventory. Next, he takes out a new weapon again.
It is the Thousand-Pound Bow.
-I want it…
Yes, all the viewers realized it.
[Current viewers: 147,311]
The culprit behind this unbelievable feat.
The strange power that slammed Fenrir into the ground. The horn bow shape made of black wood.
The Thousand-Pound Bow with its string branded on it. All of it was the power of that bow.
As virtually all Stage conquests came to an end, those who had been holding their breath revealed their greed.
-I’ll buy it. Would 500,000 Gold be enough?
-Hup… It’s Ian, the archer ranking 1st…!
-I’ll pay 550,000 Gold.
-Please, sell it to me.
-I currently run a company. I can provide you with a lot of help in the future, so please sell that bow to me.
The viewers’ greed is revealed. They realized it. If you’re an archer, you should naturally have that bow.
If you have that bow, you can become the best.
So you must buy that bow even if you have to overextend yourself!
However.
“I’m not selling this bow.”
The chat window froze at Hyeon-su’s statement.
