Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 112
Advertisement
When we fought against the boss of the dungeon, it felt underwhelming and was immediately defeated without even putting out a fight. It dropped a few things but they were all not useful to me so Dolly took all the loot in the end. I am not oing empty handed since I got a lot of ores and raw ingots just needed to be processed so that they will be sed properly as raw materials ready for forging. When we got outside the dungeon, Dolly decided ton say goodbye for now.
"Let's challenge the other levels of the dungeon sometime, but right now, I want to log out since I felt tired from all the bosses that attacked us today. I will be back a little bit later after rest."
"Okay then, see you around."
After a short farewell, I went back to my mansion by riding on Leona's back. When I was finishing the quest related to the mansion, I managed to let them build me a forge for me to use. With that, I have no need to visit on Almira's blacksmith shop unless I needed to resupply. I already have all the supply I needed for the blacksmithing process to convert the raw ingots and raw ores to raw materials ready to be smelted.
The moment I arrived on the forge, the first thing I did is to heat up the forge which will allow me to smelt the outer areas of the ores and ingots to reveal them what it is after. While waiting for the forge to fully heat up, I pulled out the raw ingots and raw ores out of my inventory and putting them on the material crates. All in all, I got 120 raw ingots and 70 raw ores. It was all good amount for making a decent amount of items depending on the things I wanted to make. But first, what I needed to do is to level up my blacksmithing skills.
Blacksmithing has three stats that will level the more you make things with the process of blacksmithing. The three skills are smelting, hammering and produce. Smelting stat goes higher the more you smelt materials on the forge, the higher the level, the lower chance of wasting the material smelted and the higher chance to create a high rank smelted material alongside with the probability of increased smelted item production.

On the other hand, the hammering stat goes the higher the more times you hammer a material during forging process. Out of the three stats, this stat has the fastest growth and easiest to level. The higher the level of the hammering stat, the lower chance of creating weapons with low durability. It's quite important to take the hammering seriously if you don't want your weapon to end up very fragile, though it is not a problem since it is the easiest to level out of the three.
Finally, the last stat is the Produce. This is the slowest out of all the three stats to level. It only increases every time you managed to produce anything from the forge. Though it is justifiable to have it to be the slowest to level since this stat is the main thing that affects the outcome rarity of the weapons and armors created. The higher leveled it is, the higher chances to produce rare, very rare or even epic and legendary though I am not sure if you can ever reach beyond the realm of forging which will allow you to create mythical weapons.
In my past life, I only got to the point of being able to create epic rarity items with consistent records. I didn't get to the point of reaching to the pinnacle of being able to forge legendary items so I am a bit behind in the knowledge on it.
Now, first of all, smelting is the first thing. Instead of using the ores and ingots immediately, I used normal iron ingots smelted. I have at least 500 pieces of them here and they are all cannon fodder for the smelting. When I started smelting, a few of the iron ingots smelted are destroyed, causing it to fail to become a final smelted product. It is the result of having low smelting level. I didn't feel bad about the failure and continue doing the smelting job for at least around 15 minutes. Since smelting here is much faster compared in real life it isn't thar long.
In the end, I only got 323 successful smelted materials while the rest were already ruined. I didn't mind that but the result this time is my smelting level rising to level 19. It is already way beyond the level of the lower chance of failure which is level 15 so I am a bit happy that the 500 pieces of iron ingots didn't come to waste.

Now, here comes the hammering and producing process. This one takes a lot longer than the first since I have to keep the things going. It took me around 5 hours to finish the 323 smelted materials to create weapons from them though I only managed to create 161 Iron Swords with normal rarity and 162 failed product.
From the process, I managed to level my hammering stat to level 30 and Produce Stat to level 9. Out of all the times I produce things, it only managed to reach level 9. The borderline stat where you can create rare items is around level 10. It's a little bit disappointing that the Produce stat did not even get to the level 10 milestone.
Now, with all the swords on the ground, I pulled out the Versatile Weapon.There is no point selling them as they don't fetch that much price. It would be better to let them become fodder to level up my Versatile weapon.
"[Devour]!"
The Versatile Weapon slowly changed form into the same devouring form and swallowed all the metal swords on the floor. It only took a few seconds before all of them were swallowed. I check the data and see a bit of change.

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now. Cover art is by Jack0fheart [Participant in the 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge for the month of November 2021]

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
