Master Of None Chapter 707

"I really thought I would make it another sixty years before my mind went. But I guess that elder is still going to keep his sanity longer than I will. What a shame. I'm just another dwarf lost to madness." Grey could only manage to convince himself he was going crazy. There was no way that he had just heard Walker say that he had the portable forge skill. It was just too much.
"Umm, Grey...you aren't crazy. I really did get the portable forge skill." Walker stood up and looked at Grey in silence. He and Grey just stared at each other while Grey blinked over and over.
"Oh…" Grey picked up the dagger that he had dropped and finished shining it. "You will need to get all the required materials and tools. I can help with that. But maybe, you should prepare others before you say that. It's a lot for a dwarf to hear."
Walker nodded until Grey handed the dagger over, "Actually, when you see that old dwarf back there, just let it fly. Tell him flat out and watch him lose it too. It's only fair." Grey had a slightly evil look on his face. Walker couldn't help but feel a little mischievous as well and decided he would humor Grey as they cleaned up the forge.
Walker and Grey headed back to the golem and found that the apprentices had taken seats around the room and were half asleep. "Hey, Grey, how long were we in the forge?" Walker always would lose track of time but this may be a little much.
"I would say we were there for about five hours. It was a pretty decent amount of time for a first creation. I would say most spend seven or eight hours." Walker understood why he was now looking at the first version of the golem and why the apprentices had worked themselves to sleep.

"The golem looks spectacular, but I think I need to get my party to rest again. We have really lost sense of time down here and been missing meals and sleep." Grey understood because this was very common for those inexperienced with the dwarf city.
"Well, let's go to the elders' forge. I will test this golem and shine it up for the real presentation. Just put it out of your mind since the appearance will change. I also want to see his face when you tell him about that skill, also, don't worry about getting the requirements. I will have them set up in an open space for you. Just remember to have the proper amount of gold to pay the crafters for the items. Should be a few thousand." Grey couldn't avoid the cost since the materials and tools would come from multiple crafters. They would expect payment and he wasn't going to put it on his tab.
The sound of hammering was still coming from the elders' forge. When the two returned they were greeted by the sight of Remey, Midnight, and Onyx asleep in the corner. The fire spirits were aimlessly floating about the room. The alchemy fire spirit was still burning a dark red flame while the other fire spirit that had a dwelling core was even brighter than before since it constantly absorbed the fire elemental mana in the room.
Walker took notice of the multiple spiked knuckles. They were detachable just like the elder said and had been modified from the pair Remey already had. It was amazing how they each had different materials and elemental affinities. The gloves that Lisa had made and that had been modified were not attached with metal and other parts. They had been strengthened significantly.

"These are a lot more interesting than I thought. I wasn't sure how they would work but they look like they can hook on to a belt or light armor and slide on and off without issue." Walker was impressed by the knuckles since he didn't think he would ever have such an idea.
"That's the idea. They should be able to be slid on and off of the modified gloves easily in battle. It should only take a second. If not less." The elder stopped his work, noticing that Grey had also joined him in the forge. "Done with that golem already? Seems like you've gotten faster."
"No, there are tests to run. I just wanted to be here when Walker tells you about his new skills since I taught him a little about forging." Grey looked at Walker knowingly. He was getting a lot of satisfaction already from this and Walker hadn't even dropped the big news.
"Well, I learned the elemental purification strikes. Instead of just purifying strike, so that will be great to make my staff in the future since I will be able to control what mana is in the metals. There's the efficient sharpening skill that really speeds things up. And then there's the leather shaping skill which helped me get a quest completed. I was rewarded with the material fusion skill. It seems to be extremely useful." Walker watched as the elder appeared more and more impressed that Walker had gained so much in such a short time.
"And? The last skill?" Grey pushed even more and caused the elder to show even more curiosity since Walker still wasn't done.
"I kind of feel bad for saying it now." Walker saw the look on Grey's face and knew that he was all in now. "But, I also gained the high tier skill, portable forge. I just need the proper tools and materials so I can store them in my inventory and use the skill whenever I want." The elder stood frozen with a smile on his face. Grey waved a hand in front of his face to no reaction.
After a moment the elder returned to reality and shouted, "What in the deep caves! How can you have the portable forge when I have been a forge master for more years than you have even breathed! What curse of the depths is this?!"

The Divine Works
The world was prophesied to end at 2012, on December 12th. It did, in a way, just not the way people thought. On December 12th, when the clocks read 12 all the way across, a new God appeared and demanded the world submit to him. Many years later, the world has changed into what he designed it, with people who are loyal to him and live in the peace he has created. His children and grandchildren create the pantheon.However, none is more feared that his Grandson Aleksandor, the God of Madness. Who's task given to him upon reaching adulthood was to punish the sinners in hopes they may repent and one day be reborn so they may try again for a better life. All his divine life, Aleksandor has known the bitter cold of hate and fear. No mortal prays to him, the evil God. They all, no matter the person, completely shun him. Until Alyson is born. Her life has not been an easy one. Not many know that her birthday coincides on that of the ""Evil"" Gods. Not may know that he has blessed her with a gift. Her parents have done everything they can to make her forsake this God, but nothing has worked. As her marriage day draws near, and the insanity that is her family gets worse, she turns to the one God she knows can hear her prayers, and will answer. But her wish comes with a price. Will it be able to save not only her, but the ""Evil"" God as well, or will they all down spiral into madness?
8 171For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!
8 165Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
