The smile on Tae-ha’s lips slowly faded as he looked at the contents of the note for a long time.
‘I don’t dislike Hyeon-su either.’
However, Tae-ha thought he might have to return to the chaebol family soon.
He had told his father that he would become incredibly rich through a game called Ares and someday rival Hanseong Group.
Now might be the time when his father’s patience would run out.
Just then.
[The chairman is looking for you.]
After receiving the call, Tae-ha immediately went to Hanseong Group headquarters.
He faced his father sitting in the chairman’s office. He just signed documents for quite a while.
Tae-ha waited for the words ‘Come back and receive management training.’
But…
“Is Ares fun?”
“…Excuse me?”
It was a completely unexpected question.
“No, it’s not particularly fun at the moment.”
That was actually true. Tae-ha had only been moving forward with the thought that he had to show his father something.
“Are you not going to listen to your grandfather’s last words?”
Grandfather’s last words.
He had spoken to Tae-ha with a sound mind.
‘Tae-ha, live an interesting life. In this world, there are things that can’t be done just because you have a lot of money.’
‘Tae-ha, live an interesting life. In this world, there are things that can’t be done just because you have a lot of money.’
But grandfather’s words were meaningless to the youngest son of a chaebol family.
Soon, Tae-seong closed the documents, took off his glasses, and said.
“I know what you want to do.”
Tae-seong was smiling slightly, unlike usual.
“Perhaps it might turn out as you said. I looked into it, and what he accomplished was truly remarkable.”
“…That’s right.”
Since Tae-ha was a user, he knew better than anyone how amazing what Hyeon-su had accomplished was.
“I have a reward prepared for that boy, so you can prepare something separately.”
Tae-ha was surprised.
Father had a reward he wanted to give him?
And it was the first thing his father had ever allowed. That’s why a smile formed on Tae-ha’s lips.
After he left, Tae-seong put his glasses back on.
He had seen the possibility in the bold dream Tae-ha had spoken of.
‘I will create a guild that will surprise our country.’
‘I will create a guild that will surprise our country.’
Tae-seong smiled bitterly.
“It might be possible with that boy.”
Soon Tae-seong stood up.
It was time to go give his own reward.

[You have connected to Ares.]
Risel had been too flustered when he received the Dragon Light Sword.
The notifications that appeared during his time with his grandfather didn’t even register in his ears.
He dragged those notifications to check them.
[Congratulations.]
[You have acquired a dragon as a Dragon Knight.]
[Unique Class. You can change jobs to Dragon Lord.]
[Unique Class. You can remain as a Dragon Knight.]
[Dragon Lord is a lord class that can command many allies under your command as a strong commander class.]
[The Dragon Knight class is a strong class with the power to protect someone and eliminate those who threaten them.]
Risel was surprised.
There were two notifications in total, asking him to choose between Dragon Lord and Dragon Knight.
Both were Unique grade.
Classes in Ares usually follow the grade of artifacts.
In addition, special classes like hidden classes exist.
The existing Dragon Knight was Epic grade, which belonged to the quite excellent category.
‘Just remaining as Dragon Knight makes it Unique…?’
Whatever choice he made would be Unique.
Risel could become much stronger than before.
And Dragon Lord was the class Risel had truly wanted.
‘I’ve been running toward becoming a Dragon Lord from the beginning.’
When he became the Dragon Knight class, he knew that at the end there was Dragon Lord, a ‘strong lord class’, so he changed jobs.
But he made an unexpected choice.
[You have selected Dragon Knight.]
However, he had no regrets about his choice.
[All stats are redistributed and 200 bonus points are applied evenly.]
[Skills change and you gain superior power than before.]
[Dragon Knight is a class that exists to protect a lord.]
[When with a lord, all stats receive a 10% effect boost.]
[When with a lord, all skill effects receive a 10% boost.]
Risel walked.
He had moved away from the blacksmith shop while briefly talking with his father and grandfather.
Risel, who had been walking like that, suddenly started running.
He embraced a new dream.
‘Tae-ha, live an interesting life. In this world, there are things that can’t be done just because you have a lot of money.’
‘Tae-ha, live an interesting life. In this world, there are things that can’t be done just because you have a lot of money.’
It seemed like it would be the most fun dream in the world.
That dream made him realize while playing Ares.
‘Something I could never accomplish alone.’
Risel ran with all her might.
Before she knew it, she could stop in front of a small, shabby blacksmith shop without a sign.
Tae-ha, breathing heavily, listened to the forging sounds coming from inside.
And soon his eyes met with the man who was moving the hammer.
That dream was….
‘To make this small and shabby guild into the world’s greatest guild and rival Hanseong Group.’
It’s possible.
Risel takes a step and enters the blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith who put down his hammer smiles slightly.
Risel was the first to extend her hand to him.
“Please take care of me from now on. Master.”
The blacksmith firmly grasped that hand.
“Welcome. Risel.”
[Risel has joined Guild Gwangmyeong.]
***
Korea’s official ranking 21st place.
No, by becoming an even better dragon knight, they succeeded in recruiting Risel, who might now rival those in the top 10, to Guild Gwangmyeong.
‘It wasn’t a simple recruitment.’
Just bringing someone into the guild and having someone join the guild out of gratitude were completely different.
“I will make this guild the best.”
Just looking at the present showed that. Risel wasn’t just another guild member, but showed the motivation to somehow make this guild soar.
And Hyeon-su told her the story about why this guild was named Gwangmyeong, Hyeon’s Forge, and the Crazy Rookie.
“That’s certainly true.”
After hearing Hyeon-su’s words, Risel was convinced.
“For now, it’s important to elevate Hyeon’s Forge and increase the guild’s power. Oh right.”
Risel spoke as if something had occurred to her.
“Of course I’ll pay for the Dragon Light Sword.”
Hyeon-su smiled slightly. Just because she had written Risel on the note didn’t mean he thought she wouldn’t pay the commission.
“I don’t know the exact value yet, so would it be okay if I give it to you after reviewing it? With a spoonful of gratitude added too.”
Risel laughed playfully. Hyeon-su nodded.
“I’m not in a hurry, so you can give it when it’s convenient.”
“My father also said he would repay you separately.”
“Repay?”
Hyeon-su couldn’t help but look puzzled.
Repay? Had he done something worthy of repayment from Chairman Lee Tae-seong?
‘Come to think of it….’
Hyeon-su had crossed paths with Chairman Lee Tae-seong once.
It was at the National Museum. Since he was so well-known to the public, he recognized him at a glance.
But since he wasn’t the type to make a fuss, he only looked at the Dragon Light Sword he wanted to see.
“Yes, if you wait, you’ll probably find out? I’m too scared of father to ask about it.”
“I understand. And I think I need to logout.”
“Ah, today is the day you start building the blacksmith shop, right?”
“Yes.”
As in his conversation with Risel, today was the day to rebuild the blacksmith shop that had burned down.
Hyeon-su logged out to go to Gyeongju.
[You have logged out.]
Hyeon-su came out of the capsule, washed up, and changed into neat clothes.
‘It will probably take about 3 years.’
‘It will probably take about 3 years.’
The conversation with the construction company employee came to mind.
He wanted to build as quickly as possible for his father who might return at any time, but that was difficult.
He also wanted to make it with the finest materials, but that wasn’t easy either.
‘There are still mountains of hospital bills to pay….’
It couldn’t be helped.
Just as he was about to leave.
Hyeon-su received a phone call from the construction company employee.
-Hyeon-su, come quickly!
“Yes?”
The employee said something incomprehensible in a voice mixed with laughter.
Hyeon-su, looking puzzled, got on the bus to Gyeongju.
Arriving at the place where the small blacksmith shop in Gyeongju would be built, Hyeon-su was speechless.
He stared at the construction company employees for a long time.
The few people he had hired. Mixed among those few people were dozens of veteran construction company employees from a major corporation.
The safety helmets they were wearing had ‘Hanseong Construction’ written on them.
Hanseong Construction.
It was one of the affiliates of Hanseong Group operated by Chairman Lee Tae-seong. Soon the construction company employee Hyeon-su had hired came over.
“Hyeon-su, how lucky for you!”
“What’s going on?”
The employee looked puzzled at Hyeon-su’s question.
“Didn’t you know? Chairman Lee Tae-seong of Hanseong Group came personally. He said Hanseong Construction employees would help build this blacksmith shop together. There were also instructions to use the finest materials and tools for the blacksmith shop. If you just sign here, we can start construction together with Hanseong Group. The period can also be reduced to 6 months.”
Soon Hyeon-su could see Chairman Lee Tae-seong getting out of an expensive foreign car.
Hyeon-su didn’t sign and held it in his hand.
Chairman Lee Tae-seong approached beside him.
“Chairman, I don’t understand why you’re doing this. I’ve never done anything to deserve this.”
To be honest, Hyeon-su didn’t feel comfortable.
Shortened construction period.
And Lee Tae-seong’s words to fill it with the finest materials and the best blacksmith shop materials.
It was worth at least 1 billion won.
Since Hanseong Construction employees are the country’s top elites.
“Why haven’t you done anything to deserve this.”
Tae-seong, who had been looking at his employees with his hands behind his back, said.
“Didn’t you make the Dragon Light Sword for my son and my father in the game, and for me in reality.”
Hyeon-su didn’t understand the statement that he had made the Dragon Light Sword for him.
“As a child, I loved dragons so much, and they said dragons grant wishes.”
Hyeon-su silently watched him lost in reminiscence.
“I wanted to make a wish to the dragon. The dream that Hanseong, which was a corner store, would grow very big and make my father happy. When I liked dragons, my father took my hand and brought me to the National Museum.”
Hyeon-su had doubted many times. Whether his and his father’s work was truly valuable.
Students on field trips to the National Museum pass by the Dragon Light Sword with bored expressions.
When couples choose it as a date course, they frown saying ‘Ah, what kind of museum is this~’.
And someone else says, why all the fuss over old things?
“I was delighted like a child when I saw that rusted sword, and after seeing that restored Dragon Light Sword this time, I felt like I had returned to that moment. It was beautiful. It was so beautiful and magnificent that I stared at it in a daze.”
That suspicion fades away.
“It’s valuable work. Even if countless children and adults pass by that sword, for someone it will become an unforgettable memory, and someone will stare at it in a daze.”
Right, not everyone in the world needs to treasure it.
“For you and your father who protect such valuable things, this is not a waste.”
Tae-seong knows reality. What hardships and adversities he must have overcome.
Hyeon-su realized from Chairman Lee Tae-seong’s words.
That blacksmithing in reality was still such valuable and remarkable work.
Lee Tae-seong speaks with a powerful voice.
“The nation probably turned away, citing various reasons.”
Doing something with the nation’s money is not easy.
“It’s ridiculous that this world turns away from the blacksmiths it should protect.”
To Hyeon-su whose eyes have reddened, Tae-seong says.
“Let’s consider the debt between you and me settled with this.”
“Thank you.”
Hyeon-su decided to sign. Tae-seong, looking at him with a proud expression, said.
“You shall move forward.”
He patted Hyeon-su’s shoulder and walked past.
“I will protect the last Master Craftsman.”
