The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
The God of Blacksmiths’ Sword (2)
The God of Blacksmiths’ Sword (2)
Daeng, the tower master of the Sword Blacksmith’s Tower, and the other seven tower masters could not understand Colson.
The one who had been most greedy among those who had denied the gods together was now turning his back on them and standing on the side of the gods.
At the words that the god was coming, they discussed among themselves.
“To serve a god without believers, what nonsense is that.”
“Why would there be no believers? The mythology of the god of blacksmiths is plausibly packaged, but when you look at its essence, it’s insignificant compared to the myths of other gods.”
Everyone agreed with this sentiment.
Also, what bothered them most was this:
“By Outsiders’ standards, just reaching level 100 is merely taking baby steps, so why should we serve him? Someday he might try to steal what we’ve built under the false name of god.”
They thought he was merely someone who came bearing the name of god.
And when they met Balam, the messenger of god, they rejoiced among themselves.
“Outsiders learn to crawl until they reach level 100, and now they’re just starting to take their first steps beyond that. But how could there be such a thing as Achievement?”
“There couldn’t be, of course not. It’s impossible.”
“You can rest assured now. The descendant of the god of blacksmiths will not exist, at least not in this generation.”
It’s not that they had no intention of serving a god.
It’s just that they were suspicious about why they were being forced to serve someone who claimed to be that god’s descendant when he seemed so weak.
They could not understand that mythology.
‘Can a blacksmith also become a strong warrior!?’
The sword god has myths of wielding divine swordsmanship.
But how could there be myths passed down of the god of blacksmiths being a strong warrior?
Such false mythology was making the god of blacksmiths into a false god.
Moreover, it was worse because they were Outsiders.
‘Outsiders can develop their abilities through something called bonus points. But those are limited in number.’
Because they were limited in number, what could be raised was restricted.
“He might have learned swordsmanship somewhere.”
“Yes, he probably learned it, the kind of swordsmanship that soldiers or ordinary knights would learn.”
They felt that the sword Hyeon-su wore showed he was following part of the god of blacksmiths’ mythology.
But wasn’t the quality different?
The sword god who wielded divine swordsmanship versus someone who wielded the swordsmanship of mere ordinary people?
Hyeon-su drew the god of blacksmiths’ sword behind his back. Making eye contact with them, he finally spoke his first words.
“One. I have learned the Sword King’s swordsmanship.”
“…!”
“…!”
The moment they heard those words, denial that it was a lie consumed the tower masters.
But the mysteries of the Sword King’s swordsmanship manifesting as mirages from all directions made their hearts race wildly.
Who was the Sword King?
The most outstanding swordsman of the age.
One of the continent’s ten legends, and the king of Goyad Kingdom.
Hyeon-su moved his sword once more as if to show off.
“I saved the Sword King.”
Rek shook his head.
‘How….’
How could that be possible?
How could a baby taking its first steps save the Sword King, who was much greater than himself!?
“I crafted the first legend.”
[His recognition exceeds 45%.]
But the sword left by the god of blacksmiths proved him right before their eyes.
One side was completely freezing.
Before they knew it, Balam, the messenger of god, who was slowly kneeling while looking at him, came into their view.
***
[If you fail to prove recognition of 40% or more, you will be stripped of your status as descendant of the god of blacksmiths.]
The test of the class Quest that began as soon as he climbed the tower.
Hyeon-su looked at Daeng and Colson, who had turned pale.
‘Those who believe in me.’
Hyeon-su didn’t want to disappoint such people. Also, caught between the eight tower masters, they must have received much criticism.
‘I don’t want them to be criticized for believing in me.’
And he wanted to show them. Who he was, what he had done.
The Achievements he had built up unraveled each time he spoke.
“I crafted the second legend, and in a world without dragons, I created a dragon.”
[Recognition exceeds 76%.]
A dragon appeared on one side.
Snorting and looking at them with a dignified gaze, he took another step forward with the creature behind him and swung his sword.
Swoooosh-
“I became a benefactor by creating a bell with the clearest sound in the world.”
[Recognition exceeds 91%.]
Mirage.
It was the power of holograms.
At rapid speed, ore was smelted, refined, and forged, and the red-hot Bell of Lamas regained its original color.
The white bell slowly swayed and was struck by itself, filling the entire tower with a clear sound.
Daeaeaeaeng-
Once more.
“I won the Super Rookie Tournament most magnificently.”
None of those present were unaware of the Super Rookie Tournament.
It was one of the famous festivals of the neighboring Goyard Kingdom.
Rek found himself with his mouth agape as he continued to hear these impossible Achievements.
He looked around at the other tower masters beside him.
“I crafted a bow that bears the weight of a thousand geun.”
[Recognition exceeds 100%.]
The tower masters who had been standing awkwardly were now kneeling on one knee, showing proper respect.
One of those who had denied the descendant of the god. Bray, the tower master of spears, spoke.
“I had denied you. I only thought that some descendant who appeared from somewhere was trying to take away what we possessed. I apologize. Bray, tower master of spears. I greet the descendant of the god.”
The tower master of the Tower of Armor.
“I too…”
The tower master of the Tower of Cloaks.
“I was the same as well. Please kill me!”
Rex, the tower master of shields who had been watching them, found himself also kneeling on one knee, looking at him.
What words should he say.
What excuse should he make.
And Hyeon-su saw all the tower masters prostrated before him.
The one called Balam, messenger of the god, was lying flat and couldn’t lift his head.
Honestly speaking, Hyeon-su felt embarrassed.
Most of the tower masters belonged to Named NPCs over level 300.
‘I’m still just a shell.’
Yes, Hyeon-su had achieved many Achievements, but there was still so much he had to do.
He said.
“Everyone, please stand up.”
At Hyeon-su’s gentle voice, Rex looked with trembling eyes.
They had denied him, refused to acknowledge him, and had been looking at him with mockery until just moments ago.
But he.
“It’s excessive.”
He spoke with a gentle expression. Could he be someone with too tender a heart?
A god should sometimes be resolute, yet small worries seemed to arise.
Then.
“When I stand at a higher place, then I will accept it more confidently.”
No, he wasn’t being gentle. He knew the timing.
When that time came, he would accept it calmly and lead them calmly.
Also, that confident voice and smile captivated all the tower masters.
“Yes, we will wait! For that true day when you will lead us!”
All the tower masters had now changed, united in heart and mind.
And Hyeon-su noticed.
‘Recognition level…’
The first job Quest was about confirming what had been built up over time.
Naturally, the higher this recognition level, the more special rewards were given.
[Job Quest: The Sword Left by the God of Blacksmithing Complete]
[You have recorded a phenomenal achievement.]
Hyeon-su had firm faith.
The notification of phenomenal achievement that had sounded several times had never disappointed him and always gave greater rewards.
Soon the sword of the god of blacksmithing resonated.
Woom woom-
[The Sword of the God of Blacksmithing grants a reward.]
[All stats 2, probability of higher grade appearing 10%…]
[Correction.]
[The Sword of the God of Blacksmithing judges this insufficient.]
Hyeon-su looked at the sword with a puzzled expression.
Even when he first held this sword, he felt it, but it seemed to have its own consciousness.
‘The original reward was all stats 2 and 10% increase in probability of higher grades appearing…’
Job Quests give things related to that job class.
It wasn’t a bad reward, but it was true that Hyeon-su wasn’t satisfied with it.
[Reward measurement complete.]
[A job Quest that can acquire one of the five secret techniques of the god of blacksmithing is generated.]
[Existing rewards will be received as is.]
[All stats 2, probability of higher grade appearing increases by 10%.]
[You may learn about the god’s secret techniques in advance.]
[A new story begins.]
Hyeon-su was now familiar with Ares’ system, so he was certain.
‘After clearing a new story, something amazing always follows.’
Hyeon-su waited for the new job Quest notification to sound.
***
[User Hyeon-su will start a new job Quest.]
Special User Management Team.
Employee Lee Ji-hee showed a surprised expression.
“A new story…?”
Of course, a new story itself wasn’t particularly special for a team managing special users.
The new story notification itself appears when a great Achievement is accomplished in a limited location.
Hyeon-su’s new stories were always in limited locations.
The subjugation force of the Beginner Zone.
The beginner’s territory war in Cassel Territory.
The new story that recently erupted through broadcasting was also in the limited location called time attack dungeon.
“A new story erupting from a job Quest isn’t easy, it means the god of blacksmithing recognizes Hyeon-su as the right person.”
At the voice from behind, Lee Ji-hee could see CEO Lee Se-jin standing there.
“CEO, hello.”
Tae-seok and Ji-hee hurriedly greeted the CEO who appeared like a ghost.
Lee Se-jin waved his hand dismissively and said.
“The secret techniques of the god of blacksmithing weren’t easy to obtain in the first place.”
The name secret technique wasn’t attached for nothing.
These secret techniques could be superior versions of what one already possessed, or completely new things one never knew about.
“It means a different job Quest from the existing job Quest will erupt, but what kind of job Quest will erupt?”
This was the issue the Special User Management Team should focus on.
A new job Quest.
How it would erupt.
Then.
[Job Quest: Finding the Savior is generated for Bell, Child of the Saint.]
CEO Lee Se-jin showed a surprised expression and opened the Quest received by the Child of the Saint.
[Job Quest: Finding the Savior]
Grade: A
Restriction: Child of the Saint
Reward: Divine Power 200
Penalty upon failure: Destruction of the temple.
Description: Your temple. And the saint Aria you serve is in crisis. Go find a savior, that savior is currently located in the Sword Blacksmith’s Tower.
Lee Se-jin made an interested expression.
‘So the story connects in this way.’
Tae-seok made a puzzled expression.
“What connection could there be between the saint’s child and User Hyeon-su, the descendant of the Blacksmith God, for a job Quest to trigger?”
At that, Ji-hee hurriedly tapped away at the keyboard.
“According to the setting, the Blacksmith God once made a promise to the gods. That someday, he would craft artifacts as gifts for their temples, it seems related to that.”
It’s quite an elaborate setting.
Soon Lee Se-jin muttered.
“The saint’s child Bellia might become Our Country’s greatest healer, which is worrying.”
Team Leader Kim made a puzzled expression.
“Why is that worrying?”
Lee Se-jin could only give a bitter smile.
“Who’s in Guild Gwangmyeong right now?”
“Well, Nel and Risel…”
“No, not their names.”
This time Ji-hee was quicker to catch on than Kim Tae-seok.
“There’s Nel the budding tactician. Bark the strongest tank, Risel the strongest dealer, and User Hyeon-su the strongest blacksmith.”
“Team Leader Kim, what’s missing?”
Team Leader Kim thought carefully.
The most important elements when forming a team.
A master to lead them.
A strong dealer.
An unbreakable tank.
Nel who might become an excellent tactician. Soon Kim Tae-seok’s eyes widened.
“A, a healer is the only thing missing.”
“That’s right, if they just had one healer, Guild Gwangmyeong would be reborn as the strongest elite guild.”
Representative Lee Se-jin looked at the monitor with an interested expression.
‘Of course, all choices will be made by Bellia.’
