《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

During the afternoon, a few of the previous day people came back with some friends. But the majority were new ones who were passing by. At Dusk, The crow was slightly smaller, but Juri knew that it was due to the time. Nevertheless, his Workshop still conducted the test.
On the first day, their Workshop sold a total of 5 Steel Swords, which gave then almost 1000 Spirit Stones.
The next day, the same thing happened again. Not only that, but someone also thought that to be a trick, just to have his Saber split in half as well. Finally, by the end of the second day, Juri could already feel some interesting eyes on his Workshop. Still, he just smiled and closed the Workshop.
Rean also received a bird message talking about the profits so far. Since they were still not allied with the Zafa Bank, the money is still entirely for themselves.
The third day, morning, testing time.
Juri looked outside and noticed that the crowd was a lot bigger than the previous day. Erkil, who was beside him, grinned after seeing a few of them.
"There are quite a few blacksmiths this time. Probably, they are part of the Big Blacksmith Workshops of the City."
Juri nodded.
"Do you know which ones?"
Erkil then looked at the symbol on their attires before saying.
"The Suferia Clan, Watil Clan, and Garkan Clan are between them. Those are the biggest Blacksmith Workshops in the City. I can also spot a few medium-sized ones and some that I don't know. But since the big three are here, it means that the information already started to spread. Those are probably just scouts, they shouldn't do anything in this morning test. However, the afternoon one will probably be very tumulted."

Juri nodded and then stepped out to conduct the same test as always. When those scouts saw what the new Steel Sword, which wasn't a Spiritual Equipment, could do, their eyes opened wide. None of them wasted time and rushed back to their own workshops. The prowess of the Steel Sword was just too high.
In the Suferia Clan Workshop, the scout was reporting it to the Chief Blacksmith, Liam Suferia.
"What? Are you making fun of me? How can a Sword made of ordinary materials possibly cut through Iron than easily?"
"Master, I know it seems ridiculous, but I'm not lying, this is what really happened there. Their Steel Sword is as strong as a low-level Spiritual Sword. Maybe even stronger. I, your disciple, would never dare to joke around with something like this."
Liam narrowed his eyes while he looked at his disciple. But in the end, he snorted.
"That just means they know how to play a good trick. Still, it would be bad for business if others began to believe that such a thing is real."
Liam then went back into his Workshop and took out a sword. After seeing that, his disciple's eyes lit up.
"Master, are you planning to use this Tirakiu Sword to test their Steel one? Isn't it a little too forceful?"
Liam just laughed.
"Aren't they saying that their Steel Sword is just as good as a Spiritual Equipment, but with ordinary materials? This Tirakiu Metal might be a little strong, but it is still not a Spiritual One. If their Sword is that good, then it shouldn't have a problem against this Sword of mine. Hahaha!"
In the other Workshops, similar events were playing. Some thought it to be a trick like Liam, others believed that it might be a business chance. Nevertheless, all of them took their own swords out. As long as it wasn't a Spiritual Equipment, it wouldn't be unfair.

During the afternoon, there was an even bigger crowd around. Not only were there the blacksmith Workshop representants, but also a few stronger warriors at the late and peak stage of the Energy Gathering Realm too. Rumors spread fast, so they got interested in this Steel Sword, which is cheaper and still has the same power as a Spiritual Equipment.
Juri stepped forward once more and started his show. He pretended that this was just a regular crowd and acted accordingly.
"Welcome, everyone. Most of you already know about our tests, so I ask two volunteers to test our new Steel Sword. Is there anyone willing to try?"
"I am."
Before anyone could talk, a powerful voice spread around the crowd. Erkil, who was watching from inside the Workshop, immediately recognized the guy. Not only him, but the blacksmiths around noticed the man's identity straight away. Erkil then sent a Spiritual Sense message to Juri.
"That is Marlen Watil, the Chief Blacksmith of the Watil Clan. Be careful of him."
Juri slimed and nodded.
"Thank you, sir. I need one more volunteer who will be using our Iron Sword. Is there anyone else?"
"Here."
Another man stepped forward. Seeing that, the blacksmith crowd got even more excited.
"That is Liam Suferia of the Suferia Clan. He also came to check it."
Erkil, of course, immediately told Juri about the man's identity as well. Juri was surprised that their test would attract two Chief Blacksmiths at once. However, this is also a good chance.
Juri then tried to pass him the Iron Sword, but Liam immediately refused.
"No need. You said that your Steel Sword is comparable with a Spiritual Equipment, although it isn't one. If that is the case, I will use my own Sword to test your own. You don't mind it, right?"
Liam then took his own Sword out of the sheath. Immediately, all the blacksmiths around noticed what kind of Sword it was.
"It's a Tirakiu Metal Sword, Liam is determined to trash this Steel Sword it seems."
"That's also good. Tirakiu Metal Sword is good and rare, but it still not at the level of a Spiritual Equipment. There is indeed nothing wrong with him using it."
Juri looked at that and just smiled.
"There is absolutely no problem. I just hope this friend won't charge our Workshop when it breaks."
Liam snorted and nodded. The price of a Tirakiu Sword was nothing more than pocket change for him. First of all, he doesn't believe that that Steel Sword could really break his Tirakiu Sword.
Juri then passed his Steel Sword to Marlen Watil. After grabbing it, Marlen narrowed his eyes.
'It's light. But how did it become this smooth? Also, there really isn't even an iota of Spiritual Energy inside. They weren't joking when they said that it was made with ordinary materials.'
However, it didn't matter. With Liam and his Tirakiu Sword on the other side, whether this Steel Sword is the real deal or not will soon be found out.
"Very well, gentleman. You are free to start at any time."

In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants.

But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
