Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 49
Advertisement
Sam and Kelly are walking downstairs. Kelly is a bit flustered as she saw Sam's cold look. Even though, that is how he normally looks, she couldn't help but think that he became colder because of the meeting.
"I am sorry." She apologized in a gentle tone. Sam looked at her abruptly and saw her flustered look and smiled a little.
"It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize." Kelly heaved a sigh of relief and looked at him. Sam thought of something and asked.
"How many Artisanship does this tower has?"
"The Falcon cliff tower has four Artisanship. Weapon Artisan, Painter Artisan, Scholar Artisan and Tailor Artisan." She answered immediately. Sam nodded and went into a deep thought. When she saw Sam was thinking she waited a while and asked.
"Sam, I have a request." Sam looked at her with a questioning gaze.
"Can you make a dress for me?" She asked in a very low voice that at the end it, Sam almost didn't hear at all.
Sam chuckled and said. "Sure. Let's go." He said as he walked towards the reception.
Kelly was shocked and stood there rooted for a second. She really didn't expect that Sam would easily accept. She was contemplating whether she heard it right or not and by the time she came out of daze, she saw Sam already talking to the receptionist. After sometime, he and Kelly both came out of the tower.
"What did you ask at the reception?" Kelly asked out of curiosity.
"Nothing. I want to take the tailor artisan exam. So, I asked her about the details. We will comeback here after lunch. I will make you dress as I take the examination." He said with a smile.
"Thank you so much Sam." Kelly became excited. She really had enough of Freya's bragging.
Sam just smiled and both of them walked towards a nearby restaurant. The restaurant is so high-end and luxurious. It has five floors and even the waitresses and receptionist also dressed exquisitely. An attendant welcomed them and asked.
"Sir, which floor do you want to eat?"
Sam was a bit confused, then Kelly explained from the side.
"Each floor has difference in service and food. The first floor only serves normal food. Second floor serves the level 1 beasts but the service is normal and the beasts are reared. The third floor is level 1 beasts and they are wild game. The fourth floor is for level 2 beasts of lower level and fifth floor is for level 2 beasts at middle-stage and late-stage. The higher the floor, the higher the service."
"Oh, we will go to the fifth floor then." Sam said as he looked at the attendant. Attendant gave a smile and said.
"Sir, to dine in the fifth floor, you should have a golden grade VIP card. To obtain the card, you have to pay 10000 spirit stones and you also need to have a certain status." The smile on her face is still there and voice was absolutely polite.
"This status would be enough. I guess?" Sam showed his scholar Artisan badge and the attendant clearly became surprised. She came out of her daze and said hurriedly.
"Let me call our manager." She said and left quickly. After a few minutes, she came with a middle-aged man, whose Cultivation seemed to be at Peak of novice. He wore a black robe and his face is cleanly shaven and a bit pale. He has a shoulder length long hair. He can be considered handsome. He walked towards Sam and greeted them politely.

"I heard that young sir here is of esteemed status. Sorry, for not receiving you myself." His voice was humble and polite. Sam looked at the man and his deep brown eyes and replied.
"You are too polite."
"Can I take a look at your badge?" The manager asked.
Sam nodded and passed over his Artisan badge. Verifying that it was authentic, he smiled brighter and then said. "I will finish the formalities right away. You can receive your VIP card after you have your meal. You can pay along with your food bill." Manager said as he gestured the attendant to lead them to the fifth floor.
Sam and Kelly sat in private room of the fifth floor. He looked at the view through the window. Sam then looked at the artificial pond in the middle of the fifth-floor hall through the one-sided glass door. The floor tiles are all black in colour and even the floor underneath the pond are black in colour. Even the furniture is made with a black colour wood.
Soon, the waitress arrived with the dishes that they ordered. Sam cut his steak of fiery bear, which is a fire type beast. Kelly also started eating. After a while she asked Sam.
"Why did you take the VIP card? I don't think you would stay here often, do you?" She asked with plain curiosity. She knew better than to think that he took the card to impress her. That is why she asked him, why he spent so much, just to have a single meal. After all, level 2 beasts aren't something off the reach for Sam to eat.
Sam didn't answer and just smiled. Kelly also didn't probe further and continued eating. After they finished eating, Sam paid the bill along with the 10,000 spirit stones and took the Golden card which showed the VIP customer status.
Sam and Kelly walked out of the restaurant. Sam kept on fiddling with the card as he looked at the name of his and the restaurant.
"Black pond." This is the name of the restaurant that he just visited. He went there just because, he wanted to see, what kind of place this is. The name made him curious and arouse his suspicions a bit. But when he saw the whole restaurant, he didn't find anything fishy.
He and Kelly went back to the Artisan tower and he took the tailor artisan exam. Sam took his time when he went into the testing room. The room is just like the previous time, it has glass walls and doors, except that the tools and equipment are of the tailors. There are all kinds of tools related to textiles like looms, mannequins, marking table, all types of special scissors, all sizes of stitching needles etc. Sam took out a black textile. This is the textile he made with the silk of Heaven spirit silk moth of fire type. Generally, the silk is in red colour, but he used a special technique and made the colour black. This type of silk can be considered as rank 3 tailoring materials.
The regular tailoring artisans are doesn't use this silk because, most of them in this realm might not even know this silk moth. Sam took a dress from Kelly which he is using to take her measurements. She is now looking from along with the spectators from the outside.
The spectators are of just like before, there are a lot of people waiting for him curiously. Because, there are only two tailor artisans in the entire city. They were here because, they want to see that if there would be a third one. Sam took some measuring ribbons he used to take the measurements and started measuring Kelly's dress.

Kelly blushed and her face became as red as cherry, when she saw it. Sam didn't notice that and he is in his own world. When he saw the measurements, he started pondering on what dress he has to make. Because, Kelly's body is more matured than Freya's or Haley's and he need to think of a different style, if he wants to enhance her beauty.
Sam took his time and others started to doubt what he was thinking.
"What happened to him?"
"Yeah, why isn't he doing anything?"
"I think he is bluffing earlier."
"I think so too. He is young after all."
"What is happening here?" An authoritative voice stopped all the discussions. Howard came forward and stood beside Kelly and asked.
"Is he taking the exam?" Kelly just nodded and stood there looking at Sam.
"Interesting." The tower head muttered and he also stood there. Sam finally got an idea and took out a paper and a brush. He kept it on a table and just before, he was about to draw, he mumbled to himself. "I better make a pen for myself." He then started drawing a dress as he imagined Kelly's figure. After some trail and error drawings, he finally decided on what to create and then he took out the black cloth he prepared before. He marked the cloth and cut it with a specially made scissors according to measurements.
With is no time, he has bits he needed. He didn't take them directly to the mannequin. Instead, he took out two circular wooden frames from his storage. The circular frames are of a specific size that, one frame's outer diameter is same as the other frame's inner diameter.
He took the garment and fixed a part of it between the two frames. He supported the wooden frames on a stool like metal frame in such a way that the garment surface is parallel to the floor and the place below the cloth is hollow.
Sam sat down on the floor and took out a long needle, which has a hook on one side. He took out a thread bundle which is also black in colour. He placed the black thread under the cloth and then stabbed the needle from the side of the hook. The hook held the thread and when he pulled it through the hole he jabbed first and a small loop of thread came out of the cloth surface. He then jabbed the cloth between the loop and pulled another small loop of the thread and made a very small knot and the process continued and after a few moments, he made a maple leaf pattern on the cloth, he made numerous leaf patterns and after the part of the cloth that is in the frame is done, he changed it and fixed another part of the cloth. Soon, all the garment pieces he prepared are embroidered with the black leafy patterns. Even though the cloth and the embroidery are of same colour, they can be seen clearly because of the contrast provided due to the difference in thickness of the thread.
Sam smirked with satisfaction as he saw the successful embroidery. When spectators looked at him, they were beyond confused. What kind of technique is that? This is the question that is bugging everyone's mind. Of course, they won't know that. Because, this is a traditional Indian embroidery technique called Aari also known as maggam. How would these guys know that?
Sam walked towards the female mannequin. And started sewing the dress. Soon, the dress took shape. What Sam is doing right now, was completely unfamiliar to the spectators. This looked like a gown, but it is too slim to call that.
They can't decide it, because Sam is making a traditional Chinese dress. It is a Cheongsam. The black cheongsam with a collar. It has buttons to the right side of the chest. The dress reached all the way below the calves almost reaching the ankles. There is slit on the right side up to the knee. Which won't be visible unless they made a vigorous movement.
Sam particularly made this cheongsam because, for him apart from an Indian saree, a cheongsam is the only thing that enhances the beauty of a woman like Kelly. When a charm of the bodily features and skin reach a certain level, their beauty can only be enhanced by simple clothing. That is the reason why, he didn't do an extravagant embroidery like he did with dresses of Haley and Freya. After the cheongsam is completed, Sam took the dress to the testing platform.
Basically, the tailor artisans are tested mostly for the skills and the effective usage of the material. Even though the cloths are used mostly for defence, the effectiveness of the defence that can be obtained through the usage of the cloth is the most important in the testing. Not only that, the test will also take the beauty and aesthetics into the considerations.
After waiting for a few minutes, the platform brightened. A badge appeared. This time also, the badge is black in colour. Everyone gasped in surprise but when they saw the number on the badge, the surprise turned into surprise.
Sam held the badge in his hands as the result appeared on the screen.
"Product name- Unknown
Product type- Dress
Creator- Sam
Rank of the Product- Rank 3. There are six golden stars below it.
In the same way, there is a cloth and a needle symbol. A number 3. Total of six stars.
Sam became a pseudo rank 3 Artisan just like that.
Sam walked towards the exit along with the dress and the badge. Kelly finally took a good look at the dress. Her eyes were almost filled with stars as she saw the dress carefully. The skilled craftsmanship. The design. The exquisite look took her breath away. When Sam saw her lovestruck fool like appearance, he stored the dress away and said.
"It is not ready yet. I will give it to you tomorrow morning." Sam said pouring cold water on her expectations.
Both of them walked back to the mansion as sun started to set.
At the same time another person is walking towards the Northern region from the Eastern region. This guy is extremely familiar to Sam. It is none other than Eisen. Today, after Sam went out with Kelly, Jack went to meet the Principal to show him the mansion. Eisen tagged along and when he saw the mansion, he burned with jealousy.
Then another news made him even more angry. It is the news about Kelly and Sam going out together. This made him even more jealous, that he almost wanted to destroy the whole mansion.
He is walking towards the piranha organisation to place an assignment.

Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.
