《Dusk God》Chapter 5- My Blacksmith Worth
Advertisement
Before anything happens, I say to them “We should go outside for this so we don’t cause any more trouble.” As I look at the frightened receptionist.
The leader replied with a yelled. “Shut the fuck up and beg or do you want to die today!”
He then runs up to me with his clenched hand; extended over his shoulder aiming for my head. After dodging I make a quick run for the door and made it outside safety were they quickly follow after.
“Afraid we'd kill you?” The captain says with a confident smile.
“No, just afraid you might add something to my bill,” I say with a chuckle.
“Fuck you.” After saying this he comes running at me with his sword unsheathed and swings at me I move to the run and with a small firebolt, I shoot at him.
“Damn he’s a mage make sure to move guys.” The captain says while signaling the other guys to join in.
As all three of them come together trying to assault me I make a fireball the size of a soccer ball and throw it over. 'l'm starting to think this is annoying, so, why not make things more interesting?'
As I think this I grab one of the guards coming at my sword and with a downward slash I cut him in half.
“John!” The captain yells when I remove my new sword from John’s body. I began to taunt them by saying “Do you think you can beat a B ranked adventurer with just this?”
After saying this captain looked at me with big eyes. After the number of B rank adventure are 1 in 100 inside of the guild and he had to mess with this one in a hundred.
“Jackson fall back!” he shouts to the other guard and looks at the young master as if his eyes were asking if they can stop before they get killed.
And as a response to this, the young master says, “What are you thinking to kill him so you can scare me being a B rank my family a hundred of those and an AA ranker!” He yells with a raging smile.

After saying this, he whispers his orders to the guard Jackson to go to his other family member in town which was A ranker in his family. After saying this he gives him a pendant and he runs off. I move in front of the Jackson running and push him down. Which makes the young master finally stop giving an arrogant face and look at me as I hold his one hope in my hands. I then kill the guard and walk over to the captain guard and shoot a small firebolt, which kills him.
After seeing the death of his guards I move to the young master and right when I was about to stab at him a needle was shots to my head. I fall as to not show much skill to blow my fake identity.
“Who dares try to kill the young master.” A man in the same clothing style as the young master says. He then moves in front of the Fan's brat to cover him.
“Do you wish to die too?” I asked angrily as I am starting to lose my temperament with these people. And as I'm getting up the young master of the Fan family looks so relaxed as if he has already won the battle.
“Uncle!” He says with a smile. And then says “He dares tries to kill me, please kill him for my uncle.”
“Shut up Dave you are acting like an arrogant little boy again do you want me to tell your dad. We came here for one thing and one thing only and that is to get the blacksmith to work for us.” He says with an angry face.
“Who are you trying to make for you?” I ask with an expression of expectation.
“Master Theo from ‘The Golden Smith’” I began to laugh uncontrollably which makes him shout, “What’s so funny!”
“Nothing much just I so happen to know him.” I begin to recall the dwarf that I made my slave.
“Well then boy we’ll be on our way, so if you excuse us we have an appointment.” The uncle says with a smile. As smiling he recalls how he 'Dracula' didn't seem to fear the Fan family, so he must have a strong backer or he's crazy. Which he didn't want to check as he wasn't in the Fan family's territory currently. But if he was he would have killed him 'Dracula' immediately.

After they left I made my way to The Golden Smith and go to the living room where my slave makes all his deals. And tell him to bring the Fan family here so I can talk to them.
And when they come I see that both the young master and the uncle are together.
“Hello, Fan family well nice to see you again,” I say with a business smile. Which makes the uncle’s face twitch.
“Mister Theo why is he here?” he asks. Theo which he replies with a smile, “He is my master.”
“Well then do you have anything to ask?” I asked with a crafty smile, which makes the uncles face drop for a second and the young master's face turn red.
“We want to ask Mister Theo to come to our family and make weapons for us for a price of course.” The uncle says with a light sigh at the end.
“Ahh, I'm afraid he can’t do that now, can you Theo,” I asked confidently.
“No master I can only work for you and what you want me to do.” He says which makes the uncle's face show an unhappy expression.
“I'm sorry for your loss and please tell the Fan family they can’t come here anymore.” As I say this the young master finally lashes out and says “So what if you’re the best blacksmith in the kingdom if you have a master that holds you leash Mister Theo!”
Which make my eyebrow twitch for an instant and think did he say the best blacksmith. Then think back to when I said to bring me to the better swords in the shop and how everything was the just third rate. ‘Shit this world has no skill’ I began to think.
I make the Fan family leave and look at my slave and ask “Are you really considered the best blacksmith?” I asked to confirm what the young master had said.
“Yes, master I have rewarded this title when I beat the last best blacksmith in a competition last year.” He says with his hands cupped.
‘Shit I thought he was just some second-rate one, as blacksmiths of his worth would be inside the capital guarded most of the time.’ I thought and then went over to the forge and brought out a large piece of steel and started to do some work on it and after a three hour or so I come back with a short sword and tell him to tell me its quality.
“Master this sword is the best sword I've seen.” He says in a monotone whisper.
“How did you make this master?!” he begins to ask.
“Quiet down I'm thinking.” I quickly demand and he just as quickly shuts his mouth.
‘This is just a second-rate sword I made quickly and he acts like it’s the best sword in this damn kingdom. I didn't even use my fire manipulation', I thought while sighing softly.
“Are you sure this sword is the best that you have seen?” I asked with an annoyed expression.
“Yes master this is the highest quality I’ve seen and I have even seen the king's steel sword myself after the competition. And its definably would be destroyed with one swing of this.”
“Well, then I'll just go home today and will be back in a couple of days.” After I leave I made my way to the inn.
After going to the receptionist comes to me.
“Sir, I'm sorry for the trouble today and hope that you will not have a problem here again.” She says as she goes to my ear and whispers “And thanks for taking it outside.” And after leaving my ear kisses my cheek with a cheeky grin. But before she could go away I looked her in the eye with crimson eyes showing and said: "Come up tonight and don't tell anyone." After making sure no one heard what I said to her. I quickly ate a meal and head upstairs to my room.
'I need to reward myself sometimes,' He thinks with a bright smile.

FoxStone
Debut: the day every young gentleperson of age gathers to receive their Spirit Blessing and shift for the first time into their second form. Except for those who don't. Beatrice's worst fear is to be one of the unlucky few trapped perpetually in a human body, cut off from the magic of the spirits and unfit for any respectable pack or pride. But when the time comes to face her fear, the outcome is one she never could have imagined. Be warned, this story is some highly experimental fluff—an unapologetically girly, unrelentingly bisexual, Regency/Victorian-ish fantasy mish-mash. It does have a dark side, though, so don’t come in expecting all sunshine and roses. Worthy of note, given the reputation of shifter stories: there will be no explicit sex in this tale. There will, however, be lots of polyamorous romance, necromancy, portal magic, capricious spirits, elemental mages, an unconventional take on shifters and a highly ordered society built around their existence.

The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines.
