The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
Dragon Light Sword (3)
Dragon Light Sword (3)
Ricel left after making his crafting request. He said he hoped for quick production since he didn’t have much time.
‘Whatever I write, he’ll give it to me…’
Hyeon-su looked at the paper placed on his palm.
His heart was pounding. Ricel had actually revealed that he was the youngest son of Hanseong Group.
In other words, his promise to give whatever was written wasn’t a lie.
‘What should I write?’
Money? A building? A car?
He could probably write down anything he wanted.
But Hyeon-su carefully tucked it into his chest pocket.
There was no need to write anything when it wasn’t completed yet.
‘My thoughts were correct.’
Hyeon-su smiled slightly. While listening to Ricel’s story, he had felt two things.
One was that his mysteriousness had ultimately failed to give Ricel faith in him.
This was entirely Hyeon-su’s fault, and that was true.
Even though Ricel had sincerely believed in him and came to meet Hyeon-su, he hadn’t been able to reveal anything.
Second, if he also approached them with sincerity, they would try to return to Hyeon-su as much as they had received.
Hyeon-su felt this second thing after revealing his identity to Ricel.
He also became confident that Ricel wouldn’t reveal anything about him.
Hyeon-su recalled.
‘It wasn’t as perfect as I thought.’
Effect application rate 53%.
Hyeon-su had created the Dragon Light Sword through emergency crafting.
Dragon Light Sword.
It was the legendary sword worn by Haemosu, the founder of Northern Buyeo. There are various interpretations of the Dragon Light Sword.
But the Dragon Light Sword that Hyeon-su envisioned was a sword inhabited by a dragon, and Hyeon-su had actually restored this Dragon Light Sword himself.
At that time, a request came to Father from the National Museum.
After the restoration request came in, Father attempted the restoration but failed.
The reason was that Father’s condition was so poor at the time that he couldn’t use his hands.
Years of blacksmithing had ruined Father’s arms.
Instead, Hyeon-su perfectly restored the Dragon Light Sword while listening to Father’s advice.
But they credited it as Father’s work.
He wanted to protect Father’s only Master Craftsman title.
‘I need a perfect Dragon Light Sword.’
The Royal Sword and Dragon Light Sword were slightly different cases.
Hyeon-su had already crafted the Royal Sword several times.
But Haemosu’s Dragon Light Sword was created by restoring something that already had a framework.
Even if time was short, Hyeon-su wanted to be perfect.
‘That dragon is a false dragon.’
How could that loach-like thing be called a dragon?
‘I need to see the real Dragon Light Sword again.’

National Museum.
Hanseong Group Chairman Lee Tae-seong couldn’t calm his troubled heart and found his steps leading to this place.
They said Father had passed the crisis.
That crisis would come again soon.
Tae-seong left his secretary and bodyguards outside and walked in alone.
That sword was inside.
When Father was young and he was a child.
And when Hanseong Group was just a small corner store.
Father liked dragons, or rather, because he himself liked dragons, Father pretended to like them too and brought him here.
‘This sword is called the Dragon Light Sword. There are many stories, but this is the only sword that truly contains a dragon.’
‘This sword is called the Dragon Light Sword. There are many stories, but this is the only sword that truly contains a dragon.’
That sword was rusted beyond measure and looked like it could break at any moment.
But it was so beautiful that his young self had stared at it in fascination.
Then Tae-seong was left speechless.
‘How is this…’
The sword that had been rusted and on the verge of breaking from the ravages of time was now displaying its beautiful form with elegant curves.
A beautiful sword similar to a ring-pommel sword but with the blade gracefully curved like a wave.
“Huh, huhuh…”
Tae-seong couldn’t believe it.
Then a female employee approached and said.
“A few years ago, the world’s last remaining Master Craftsman restored it with excellent skill.”
“…Amazing, was such a thing possible? What a remarkable person.”
“That’s right, but sadly, not long after that work, he became a vegetable due to a fire.”
“I see.”
Soon the female employee disappeared.
Tae-seong stared in fascination for a long time.
Then.
A young man stood beside him.
He was very tall and looked sturdy.
Wearing a mask and cap pulled low, he stood beside him for about 20 minutes.
But neither of them paid attention to the other.
Then.
“Hyeon-su? Is that you, Hyeon-su?”
“Yes, have you been well?”
“I heard what happened…”
A sympathetic voice flowed out. The young man gave a bitter smile.
“Yes, you came to see the sword your father restored?”
“…Yes.”
The National Museum employee hugged him, exchanged a few words, and then disappeared.
Tae-seong unconsciously turned his head.
‘This boy was the Master Craftsman’s son.’
And again, both of them silently stared at the sword displayed behind the glass wall for a long time.
***
It becomes vivid in Hyeon-su’s mind from his visit to the National Museum.
That form.
That beauty.
That mystery.
A sharply forged sword blade and a sword gently curved once like flowing waves.
A sword that follows a similar format to the ring-pommel sword but applies new techniques.
He begins crafting.
The supercomputer Ares seemed to mock the sword that had been made through emergency crafting.
Saying this wasn’t enough.
But now it would become perfect.
The moment he faced that sword, the advice he received from his father and all the sensations from when Hyeon-su restored it came back to life.
One day passes and it becomes two days.
[You are showing a Dragon Light Sword crafting method that defies common sense.]
[This will be the most perfect Dragon Light Sword crafting method.]
Of course, he crafts this using Divine Custom Crafting.
However, Divine Custom Crafting isn’t omnipotent and ultimately must be based on the user’s knowledge and skill.
It keeps being heard.
[This will be the most perfect Dragon Light Sword crafting method.]
[This will be the most perfect Dragon Light Sword crafting method.]
[This will be the most perfect Dragon Light Sword crafting method…]
Hyeon-su smiled.
Of course, there are only two people in the world who can craft the Dragon Light Sword most perfectly.
Only his father and himself.
Hyeon-su had an intuition.
‘A real Dragon Light Sword will be created.’
But then…
[Ricel: Hyeon-su sir, it seems you don’t need to craft it…]
“…?”
Hyeon-su made a puzzled expression at the sudden whisper.
***
“You should prepare your hearts.”
This is what the attending physician said to the family while looking at the lying grandfather.
“It seems difficult for him to make it past tomorrow.”
The atmosphere became solemnly heavy.
Tae-ha sighed.
‘In the end, I won’t be able to show it to him?’
He had tried to fulfill his last wish.
The lying grandfather speaks.
“I want to see a dragon, a dragon. A beautiful dragon ascending far into the sky!”
Grandfather repeats the same words every day.
Hearing those words, Tae-ha had a certain thought.
“…How about connecting to Ares with that capsule right now and showing grandfather a dragon?”
Right, Hyeon-su is crafting and if the timing works out, it’s possible.
Chairman Tae-seong frowned.
“That nonsense again? I already looked into it.”
Tae-seong had also done his best to find a way to show a dragon.
Knowing that Tae-ha was looking for that method in Ares, he also sought advice through various experts.
Everyone said it was impossible.
But how could…
“No, it might be possible.”
Tae-seong became frustrated. Still, he viewed favorably that his wayward son was doing this for his grandfather.
But wasn’t he continuing to ramble about absurd stories…
“If it’s Hyeon-su sir…”
Soon, hearing that name, Tae-seong frowned.
“Who?”
“Hyeon-su sir, the person who is making the dragon to show grandfather.”
Suddenly, the events at the National Museum from a few days ago came to mind in Tae-seong’s head.
‘Hyeon-su? That’s Hyeon-su, right?’
‘Hyeon-su? That’s Hyeon-su, right?’
Hanseong Group Chairman Tae-seong had felt beyond admiration to the point of thinking it was marvelous when he saw that Dragon Light Sword.
‘Another master craftsman born from a master craftsman…’
The moment that thought occurred, Tae-seong also thought it might not be impossible.
He said to the medical staff and secretary.
“Please check right now if he can connect, and if he can go to that place.”
After a while, a phone call came.
It was a high-ranking official from Pureum Corporation.
[I’m sorry, but Chairman, that’s impossible due to Ares’ system. A level 1 elderly person cannot pass the tutorial and reach Prea territory in just one day.]
“Why is that?”
[Level 1 users cannot use warp scrolls in the first place. Moreover, level 1 users have difficulty passing the tutorial zone. Of course, it’s not that they absolutely cannot pass, but if a level 1 freely crosses territories, there’s a high probability of forced logout. Also, in a situation where scrolls cannot be used, it’s impossible for an elderly person to reach Prea territory in just one day.]
“Then at least our father…”
[I’m sorry, Chairman. You know we cannot break the rules.]
Right, rules.
The moment corporations break those rules, everything is bound to collapse.
If they give systematic privileges to a select few, who would play that game?
In a world where you can do anything if you just have money and power?
Tae-seong ended the call weakly, and Tae-ha heard the reason.
Since Tae-ha was also a user, he understood those words.
“That’s right… Grandfather cannot reach that place. And…”
Tae-ha now realized one thing he had overlooked.
“Especially grandfather who has dementia and is level 1.”
It was logically impossible.
Lee Tae-seong sat down weakly in his chair.
And Tae-ha eventually bit his lips and sent a whisper to Hyeon-su through his mobile phone linked with Ares.
[Risel: Hyeon-su, I don’t think you need to craft it…]
[Hyeon-su: Could you tell me the reason?]
Soon Risel began to explain the story.
For quite a while, no whispers came from him.
Then.
[Hyeon-su: I think I can bring him. I have…]
Tae-ha’s eyes trembled upon hearing those words.
‘What? What are you talking about? Is that even possible?’
[Hyeon-su: I’ve built it up, so I think it will work.]
These were words unimaginable coming from a level 120 blacksmith.
But Risel had faith in Hyeon-su.
He had already proven himself once before.
“Let’s get grandfather ready to log in right away!”
Tae-ha said with a powerful voice.
***
Several hawks in front of Hyeon-su took flight simultaneously with notes attached.
Whoooosh-
Hyeon-su, who was watching them, gave a bitter smile.
‘Do I really need to go this far…?’
He didn’t think that.
‘I need to go this far.’
He had merely given something small to those who had dreams.
And he also knew.
‘Because they wanted more, what I can write on this paper will become greater.’
Hyeon-su looked at the blank paper Risel had given him.
Yes, if this succeeds, he would write much more.
He resumed his work.
With no time to spare, he gave his absolute best.
Come to think of it, this Dragon Light Sword was the last collaboration between his father and himself.
Though his father had only given him words.
Time passed quickly.
[This will be the most perfect Dragon Light Sword crafting method.]
[The most perfect Dragon Light Sword…]
[The most perfect Dragon Light Sword…]
The notifications kept coming.
And at some point, the notification changed.
[You are approaching the second legend.]
At that moment.
The Lord’s Castle in the Beginner Territory.
Lord Bans, who was sitting in the audience chamber listening to reports with a bored expression, noticed a hawk that had flown in through the open window.
When he extended his left arm, the hawk landed gracefully.
‘Hyeon-su?’
A small smile formed on Bans’ face as he confirmed the sender.
Soon after checking the note’s contents, Bans’ face became serious. He immediately commanded his retainers with a charismatic voice.
“Clear all the roads.”
